Ch 84 Welcome Wagon
Right after the bell rang to start sixth period, a group congregated around Thea’s locker.
They made their way to New Dawn, got a warm meal, saw the pack doctor. Thea and the triplets showed them their new rooms, showers, the clothes room.
A little while later, Thea and the triplets gathered all the newcomers from school and the rescue operation. Cassandra, Arella, and Ophelia latched onto Thea again.
“They've imprinted on you like baby ducks,” Kai thought to Thea.
“Baby ducks don't give you cryptic advice about the future,” Thea thought back.
“No, they don’t.” He chuckled.
“We understand if you need more time,” Conri said to the group.
“ But are any of you ready to join our pack?” The whole group raised their hands.
Thea smiled.
“First thing, you have to reject your old packs,” Alaric said.
Alaric told them what words to say.
They all said the words.
Weights were lifted from their bodies.
They all felt lighter.
“Next step, we accept you into New Dawn.
If you could form a line, we'll get everyone done right now,” Kai said.
They lined up, and each person walked up to the triplets and gave them their name.
Thea stood nearby.
The triplets took turns saying the words to accept each person into the pack.
Thea beckoned each new member over to her afterward.
She wrote down their name, age, former pack, what experience they had, and if they knew of any interests they had going forward.
None of the former slaves had any education.
They had never gone to school.
The adults would need basic schooling.
The children would need remedial lessons to catch up but eventually could go to school.
Arefla, Cassandra, and Ophelia stood beside Thea the whole time, watching her.
Thea felt into each one and made notes about what she felt.
She could sense warrior blood in many of them.
She wondered at what point in their bloodline they were demoted to omegas or slaves— starved so they could never reach their full potential or strength, beaten down mentally from day one, so they never believed they could be more than slaves.
In others, she felt an aptitude for academics, healing, administration, teaching, all sorts of things they never had the opportunity to explore.
She would make sure they had the opportunity here.
She could also sense that the latent energy of the pack was healing them.
Much like she had done with Xavier, their DNA was repairing itself and reaching its highest potential.
She also sensed that each one was grateful to be there.
No one had nefarious intentions.
There was still fear in most of them.
They thought this must be some kind of trap to get more slaves.
Time would heal that.
Halfway through they could see the difference in the people who were now pack members and the ones who weren't yet.
The pack members were glowing, looked healthier, taller, more confident.
The others were beat down, skinny, small.
Thea had the newcomers from the previous week come to her as well.
Every new pack member NTU AICcIAT (oct The three girls were last.
Thea had to send them over to the triplets.
“It's your turn if you want to join our pack,” Thea said.
They reluctantly left her, gave the triplets their names, let them accept them into the pack, and hurried back to Thea.
When she felt into them, they felt different than everyone else.
She wasn’t sure why.
She didn’t know what they felt like.
