Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 First Wave

Thea went with her guards to the garage, and they drove to the gates. A group of people stood just outside the entrance. She recognized some of them from the conversation at lunch earlier that week. She approached them, Delta team flanking her.

“We brought our families,” one of the girls she recognized from school said.

Thea nodded. “I‘m glad you were able to make it out. I‘m Thea, the future Luna of New Dawn.

Come here. Tell me who you are.”

They came forward, heads bowed. The girls introduced their families.

“You have nothing to fear here,” Thea said. “We‘re going to take you inside, get you a warm meal, then show you to your rooms. You can shower, get some fresh clothes. See the pack doctor. Everything will be provided for you. Then when you‘re comfortable, you can decide if you want to join the pack.”

Tears poured down their faces. Thea felt the relief and hope in them. She knew this took the last bit of life, hope, and trust that some of them had. One didn‘t have hope at all. She just went along with it because she had no fight left. She would see there was reason to have hope soon enough.

“Come, get in the cars. We‘ll take you to the pack house,” Thea said.

They followed timidly.

A few minutes later, they walked into the dining hall. The triplets, Lizzy, and Alessia, were waiting, smiling

“Welcome,” they said together. The group bowed their heads to their potential leaders. They could tell the triplets were Alphas just by looking at them. “Come, sit.”

Thea introduced them, and servers brought out food for them. They ate wearily but hungrily as if they weren‘t sure when they would eat again.

“We‘ll have pack dinner soon too,” Thea said.

When they finished their plates, Thea, the triplets, Lizzy, and Alessia took the group of refugees to the block of rooms set aside for them. The families wanted to stay together, and the individuals were afraid to stay alone. They let them choose their roommates, then assigned them rooms, showed them the room of clothes, the showers, the pack doctor, everything. A few of the families and several individuals had been slaves. It had been a long time since they were given the opportunity to shower.

“My room is right here,” Alessia said. “If you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”

“Thank you, Alessia,” Thea said.

The newcomers were shocked that the Luna thanked an omega, but they didn‘t say anything.

“If you want, you can just relax, settle in,” Thea said. “Pack dinner is in a little less than an hour.

Alessia, will you bring them?”

“Yes, Luna.”

“I‘ll see you all soon,” Thea said.

She had Maverick mind link Davie.

“Luna, they‘re touring the village, currently in the Apothecary shop,” Maverick said.

“When they finish, have them come to the dining hall.”

Maverick‘s eyes glazed over. “They‘re on their way.”

A few minutes later, Davie and Quinn met Thea in the dining hall.

“I‘m so sorry for the interruption,” Thea said.

“No problem. I completely understand,” Quinn said.

“Thank you for staying.”

“Of course.”

They sat down at a table.

“So, going back to what we were talking about,” Thea said. 

“The big thing is that I don‘t know what I don‘t know. It may shock you, me being a high school senior, but I‘ve never done this before.”

Quinn laughed at her levity.

“It sounds like you‘ll run the bar the way I envision it,” Thea said.

“I‘m certain our standards and values align,” Quinn said.

“And you‘ll make up for everything I don‘t see yet.”

“I know my way around the business. I‘ll teach you the things you don‘t know about yet.”

Thea smiled. “If possible, I‘d like to watch some of the hiring, the training, show I‘m invested. Once I‘m comfortable, I‘ll be as hands–off as you want. I want to be kept in the loop on what‘s going on–what you need, what everyone needs, and how everything is going–but I don‘t want to be an overbearing presence or micromanage anything. You will have nearly full autonomy.”

“Absolutely,” Quinn said.

 “I‘ll keep detailed records on all metrics, and I‘ll be able to show you concretely how the bar is doing. From customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, if there are any incidents, how they were handled, what‘s being done to handle or avoid it in the future.”

“Sounds perfect. Aside from having someone with experience to run the ship, I also need a manager because I won‘t have the time to commit to making it run properly. As this afternoon has demonstrated.”

Quinn nodded. “I would feel honored to run this ship for you so you can do what you do here. It seems pretty special.”

Thea‘s eyes twinkled, and Quinn‘s heart skipped a beat. He‘d never had that reaction to a woman before. It wasn‘t sexual attraction but the seeds of adoration being planted deep inside him. What kind of magic did this woman have?
