Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 The Victims

“Let’s go somewhere and talk,” Thea said.

The terrified girl nodded. She was shaking, emaciated. Thea put her hand around her boney shoulders and guided her out of the cafeteria. Other girls saw, got up, and ran after them. Thea told the triplets in their minds where she was going. She kept her thoughts open to them.

Once they were outside and out of earshot, Thea turned to the girls.

“I think I know what you want to talk about,” Thea said. “ Did Xavier use his Alpha tone to keep you silent?”

The girls’ faces said yes.

“Okay. You can’t say anything, but I can talk, and you can nod or shake your heads.”

They nodded. Other girls found their way over as she talked. She noticed they were all omegas from other packs. No one from her pack was in the group. 

Eventually, Thea got the information she needed. Xavier had been using his Alpha tone since the beginning of the school year when he shifted. He didn’t stop after he assaulted Thea or after his punishment.

“Are any of you in Xavier’s pack?” Thea said.

Two girls raised their hands.

“If he becomes Alpha, you can join my pack. You don’t have to stay there,” she said. 

“That goes for anyone who doesn’t want to live under his rule.”

The girls started to cry. 

“Thank you,” they said.

“Is this happening anywhere else? Is it only Xavier, or are there others?” Thea said.

The girls gave her a look. They wanted to say something but were compelled not to.

“What pack are you in?” Thea said.

“Crescent Moon,” a few girls said.

“Cold Moon,” another said.

“Eclipse.”

“Far Side.”

“Storm Moon.”

“Mead Moon.”

Thea felt sick. She had no idea so many packs were having this problem.

“Is it your Alphas’ sons doing it?” Thea said.

The look they gave told her it was.

“I’m not familiar with the Alphas of these packs. Are they good men, or are they like Xavier?”

“Crescent Moon’s Alpha is like Xavier,” the girl who came up to her in the cafeteria said. Thea learned her name was Alessia. She was from Crescent Moon. “He mostly uses the slaves as his playthings. They don’t go to school, so he can do whatever he wants with them around the clock.”

“Ours too,” the other girls said.

Thea sighed.

“Anyone who’s being mistreated can join my pack,” Thea said. 

“Anyone who wants to can join my pack. No one should be afraid of the leaders that are supposed to protect them. Spread the word inside your packs, especially to the slaves. I can’t get to them inside pack lands.”

They nodded.

“There’s nothing that will fix what happened to you, but I’m not going to let it continue. If you’re afraid your family may get hurt if you leave, bring them.”

“We don’t have any family,” one girl said.

“I think that’s the other thing they look for—no one to protect us,” Alessia said.

Thea seethed. She wished she had a wolf. She’d challenge these Alphas for their packs right now and free everyone in them.

“Everyone knows not to mess with the girls in New Dawn. They know they’re protected,” one girl said.

“We were shocked when Markus and his friends tried to jump you,” another girl said. 

“I can’t believe Xavier tried with you, being the future Luna of New Dawn. He always goes for the girls who have no protection or power.”

“Does anyone know of anyone else being hurt? Or anyone else doing the hurting? Or anything else that’s going on that shouldn’t be?” Thea said.

The girls looked at each other.

“Anyone who thinks they can get away with it does it. Warriors. Higher ranking members of the pack. They each find their own toys, so I’m not sure of all the people involved,” Alessia said.

“My older sister left our pack and went rogue to get away from the abuse,” a girl named Jessica said. “I don’t know where she is or if she’s even alive. A lot of people have left that way.”

Thea put her hand on her shoulder and squeezed as the girl cried. 

“If you can get a message to her, to any rogues, tell them to come to New Dawn. To the gates. Ask for asylum under the future Luna. They don’t have to be rogues anymore.”

The girl sniffled and nodded.

“The group of guys that jumped you used to do things,” Alessia said. 

“They went for the weak or unprotected too. They didn’t have the Alpha tone, but there was no point in telling on them. The Alpha wouldn’t punish them. It would have made everything worse. But those boys haven’t done anything since the day they attacked you, and you put them all on the ground. Even when you weren’t at school.”

“That’s something,” Thea said. 

“If anyone is in any of their packs and doesn’t want to be, the same offer stands. I can’t protect anyone when they’re inside other pack lands.”

The girls nodded.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been at school the past few months,” Thea said. 

“Maybe you could’ve come to me sooner.”

“No one else even made the offer,” Alessia said.

Thea was angry with everyone that failed these girls. “If you think of anything, if you hear anything, if you suspect anything, come to me,” Thea said.

 “Here, take my phone number. You can text or call anytime. To get around any Alpha tone commands, text me, ‘let’s go to the bar,’ and I’ll know what’s going on. You can give my number to anyone who needs help. If they don’t have a phone, come to the gates of New Dawn and say those words. If they want to leave their pack, remember they have to reject it formally.”
