Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna Chapter 80

Rescue

Thea followed her senses until she came upon a man dragging and beating what looked like an eight- year- old girl.

Thea didn’t slow down. She jumped and tackled the man, clamping her jaw around his neck before he noticed her. She reached into the man’s brain and synced his waves with the sleeping rhythms. He passed out on the ground under Thea, and she released his neck. She used her snout to nudge the girl, telling her to run.

Then Thea took off toward where she felt the other people. She could sense the border, and when she spotted them, they were only feet from it—two wolves dragging two young girls. She growled to get the wolves’ attention.

They turned to look, which gave Thea the extra second she needed to reach one before he stepped into his pack’s land. She clamped onto his tail and pulled him back a few feet. He let go of the little girl and turned to attack Thea. Thea had pissed him off by going for his tail. Wolves hated anything messing

with their tails. She backed up a few paces, pretending to be scared. The other wolf let go of its human and faced Thea. i

“Good,” she thought. “Come closer to me, farther from the border.”

“Where are you?” the triplets mind linked her. She blocked them out to focus on the fight.

One of the wolves leaped at her, and Thea sidestepped it. The wolf landed and slid several feet. Before Thea had the chance to put it to sleep the other wolf attacked, and Thea spun her body out of the way.

It didn’t hesitate to lunge at her again. She couldn’t concentrate enough to put him to sleep. She had to focus on evading him.

“Go for his throat,” Zoe said.

The wolf faked left then went right, but Thea anticipated the deception. She got the right angle and sunk her teeth into its neck. She had him, but the first wolf was coming up behind her. She scratched at its face with her back paws. It stepped back out of the way of her claws. Thea took the moment to put the one in her jaws to sleep.

Now she could concentrate. She turned to the awake one. As they circled each other she reached into his brain and put him to sleep.

She shifted back to her human form.

She went to the girls and helped them stand. They were bleeding from their arms where the wolves had dragged them with their teeth. They were covered in dirt, and their hair looked like it had never been brushed.

“Are you okay?” Thea said, inspecting their wounds. They weren’t fatal. They’d be fine until they got back to New Dawn and the doctor saw them.

“Yeah,” they said.

“I’m Thea. What are your names?”

“Cassandra.”

“Arella.”

“Cassandra, Arella, we’ll get out of here faster if you ride on my back. Do you think you can hang on? Do you have the strength right now?” Thea said.

“I think so,” Cassandra said. Arella nodded. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Have you ever ridden a wolf before?” Thea said.

“No.”

“Climb onto my back. Grab onto my fur and hold tight. You got this. Come on. We need to hurry,” Thea said.

Thea shifted back to her wolf form, got down, and the girls helped each other climb onto her back. When they were gripping her fur tight, Thea took off. She felt out into the woods to see if there were any other people left. The girl she saved earlier was still working her way out of the woods. She went to her and hunched down.

“Ophelia, climb on,” Arella said. “It’s her.” They helped the other girl climb on, and Thea took off again.

A few of the Delta team wolves and Caleb came upon her. They relaxed a little when they saw that she was okay. They automatically took flanking positions around her, and they ran towards the vehicles.

“Is everyone safe?” Thea said, remembering to open her mind link.

“Yes,” Kai said over mind link. “Where are you? Did they find you?”

“Yes. We’re coming with three more girls. Everything is fine. One minute. Tops.”

When Thea broke out of the treeline with the three girls on her back, her men flanking her, they saw a bunch of wolves unconscious, the SUVs filled with refugees, and Delta team and the triplets on alert.

Delta team were all back in their human forms, dressed. The men took in the sight of Thea, blood all over her white fur. They saw the blood coming from the girls on her back and hoped it was only theirs.

“No one is behind us,” Thea mind linked everyone. “ Get in! Let’s go!”

The triplets waved her over to their SUV. Thea stopped in front of it, crouched down, let the girls slide off her back, then shifted back to her human form.

The Delta team wolves that came to find her in the woods went to their own vehicles.

Caleb shifted back to Conri. He stayed next to Thea as she ushered the kids into the vehicle. The refugees

reached for them and held them in their laps since there were no more open seats.

“Who are they?” one of the other refugees whispered to another refugee.

“I’ve never seen them before,” the other refugee whispered. “Are they from our pack?”

“You don’t know them?” Thea said.

“No, Luna. I’ve never seen them before. They didn’t come with our group,” the refugee said, head lowered.

Thea and Conri jumped into the SUV behind the girls. Alaric handed them clothes, and they put them on. Then Conri pulled Thea onto his lap and held her tight. Kai and Alaric got on either side of them and latched onto Thea.

“Did we get everyone? Did everyone make it?” Thea mind linked the group.

“Yes, Luna,” Liam said in mind link. “Everyone plus the three you picked up.”

“Any injuries on our team?”

“Nothing serious.”

“Did you have to kill any of the patrolmen?” Thea asked.

“No. Nonlethal measures only.”

“Good.”

“Where the hell did you go? And why did you go off by yourself?” Conri said in mind link so everyone could hear.

“I sensed people being dragged back. There wasn’t time. I had to act,” Thea said in mind link.

“Alone?” Conri mind linked.

“Everyone was busy. There were only three patrolmen, and they would have crossed the border if I’d waited even a second longer. I could sense there was no one else out there. The risk was minimal.”

“With you, the risk is always high,” Alaric said in mind link.

“I couldn’t let those girls be dragged back,” Thea replied.

“Do you even know if you can fight? For all you know, you were running into certain death,” Alaric said in mind link.

“I beat that Alpha’s son, Xavier, in single combat, right? Kai said I could take on anyone that challenged me.”

“You should have called for one of us to go with you,” Conri said.

“I’ll remember that for next time,” Thea said.

“Why did you shut off your mind link?” Kai chimed in.

“I needed to concentrate on a fight.”

Conri growled over mind link.

“We were a foot from the border. That’s the only reason I needed to concentrate.”

“We aren’t done talking about this,” Conri said.

“But for now, we’re all safe, and we successfully completed this mission,” Thea said. “I think everyone deserves a thank you and a minute to take that in.”

Conri pressed his nose against his mark on Thea’s shoulder and breathed in. Thea shivered and Conri relaxed a little.

Kai and Alaric each pulled one of her legs over theirs. They pulled themselves into her tight. They kissed their marks like they had lost their connection and were trying to reestablish it.

Thea ran her hands through their hair and kissed their heads.

Thea barely heard Arella whisper to Ophelia and Cassandra. “See? I told you. Three mates. She’s the one. We’re safe.” i
