Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna

Chapter 75: Figuring Stuff Out 

When they arrived back at New Dawn, Alpha Ulric called Thea and the triplets into his office.

The very serious looking man from Delta team was in there with him.

"That’s Liam, right?" Thea thought.

"Yes.He’s the head of Delta team," Kai thought to her.

"Do you think he’s upset that I used the Alpha tone on him on accident?"

"Surprised, maybe.That’s all."

"How are you doing, Thea?" Alpha Ulric said.

"Better.It’s been less intense since Xavier’s wolf died," Thea said.

"I told Liam about what your wolf told you," Alpha Ulric said.

"He has thoughts." He turned to Liam.

"We didn’t notice anyone following Thea to or in Seattle this past weekend," Liam said.

"There still aren’t any new nests on pack lands.It looks like her wolf was right about the threat being gone for now."

"That sounds like a good thing," Conri said.

"Yes.It’s only a matter of time until it starts back up, though," Alpha Ulric said.

"Goddess gifts are difficult to hide."

"What are they talking about?"

Thea thought to Kai.

"Remember all those dangers we mentioned? People have been after you for a while," Kai thought to her.

"We need to look into anti-witch measures," Alaric said.

"That seems to be our greatest weakness.Invisible werewolves sneaking onto our land.Witches that can separate Thea from Delta team and her mates.I think that’s where we need to focus our attention."

"Agreed," Liam said.

"Witches are real?" Thea thought to Kai.

"Yes, darling," Kai thought back.

"They are one of our biggest enemies."

"I guess that makes sense.What with the matebond and the goddess gift, that means magic exists.Why wouldn’t witches?" she thought.

"I know there’s a lot to catch up on," Kai thought.

"How many people are on the Delta team?" she thought.

"Twenty-two," Kai thought.

"All those people to protect me? You guys are putting all your eggs in this goddess gift basket, huh?"

"We love you, darling," Kai thought.

"Thea, do you want to tell us about what happened with Xavier?" Alaric said, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah. I used the goddess gift," Thea said out loud.

Alpha Ulric and Liam leaned forward, interested.

"Xavier’s brain didn’t feel right. I had Alaric sit next t o him to compare. Alaric’s brain felt good, whole, like a well-oiled machine. All of it had electricity running through it.I could tell everything worked right in it.Xavier's had dark spots, dead zones.I wanted to know why, and the feeling I got was that there were twins when he was in the womb.The other died in the womb, but Xavier didn’t get enough resources.Parts of his brain never developed.Probably the parts that have empathy.He told me he’s been killing people and eating them."

"As if raping she-wolves wasn’t enough," Conri said.

"Yeah,"Thea said.

"I imagined his brain being fully developed, and I felt something build inside me.I pushed it out to him.I think I fixed his brain.It felt more like Alaric’s.Then Xavier showed remorse for the things he did."

"He did," Alaric said.

"He was a blubbering mess when we left."

"That is interesting," Alpha Ulric said.

"Anyone else freaked out about the fact that we could’ve turned out like Xavier if it weren't for Thea?" Kai said.

Conri and Alaric looked off into space for a moment.

"You’re not like Xavier, sons, because you did have Thea.You’re perfect, so don’t worry about it," Alpha Ulric said.

"My wolf wants me to practice my gift," Thea said.

"What do you need?" Alpha Ulric said.

"Zoe?" Thea thought.

"You need to practice sensing and reading different life forms," Zoe said.

"Manipulating energy.For now, you can just do it with the people around you.See what you sense in the pack house, go out in the woods and see what you sense there."

"Nothing yet," Thea said out loud.

"I just need to spend time sensing things, get familiar with manipulating energy."

"Okay," Alpha Ulric said.

"We’re done here for today. Get at it."

The triplets and Thea left.

"I want to practice using my gift a little," Thea said.

"Where do you want to do it?" Alaric said.

"The woods, I think," Thea said.

"Yeah, let’s start there," Zoe said in her mind.

"Yeah, the woods," Thea said.

"Okay, let’s go," Kai said.

They went out to the woods.

Thea sat down, cleared her mind, and tried to reach out with her feelings to the surrounding area to see what she could sense.

She felt the Earth, the life inside it, worms churning the dirt, bugs crawling, plants growing, trees reaching for sunlight and pushing their roots into the Earth.

Animals moved throughout the woods.

Birds sat on the branches.

Squirrels climbing everywhere.

Rabbits hopping here and there.

This land was in harmony.

Everything was peaceful.She felt the triplets and the four Delta team guards.

They were also in harmony with their surroundings.She felt out further, and there were patrolmen walking the perimeters.

A few pack members were on arun.

There was a couple making out deep in the woods.

In the other direction was a large group of people.

It must be the pack training.

A warrior was leading the group.

The participants all felt the same—they were close together, and they all overlapped and blended.

One girl stood out.

She felt abnormally happy.

Like everything was new and beautiful.

"That’s good, Thea," Zoe said in her mind.

"What is this?" Thea thought to Zoe.

"What am I doing?"

"Your gift is Life," Zoe said.

"You’re in tune with it.It’s part of you."

"Isn’t Life part of anything that’s alive?"

"Not like this," Zoe said. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"You can read it, interact with it, manipulate it, understand it."

"Understand it?"

"We'll get there," Zoe said.

"One thing at a time.Earth is alive, and it’s full of energy.See if you can pull energy from the Earth."

"And do what with it?" Thea thought.

"Depends.For now, pull it into you."

Thea imagined the energy coming toward her, and soon she felt an influx of that harmonious energy.

She felt vitalized.

Alert.

Powerful.

"Woah," she thought.

"Yeah. It supercharges you," Zoe said.

"Can I do this for other people?"

"Yes."

"How long does it last?" Thea thought to her.

"Depends.You can keep pulling from the Earth as long or as often as you need to."

"Does it hurt the Earth?"

"No.The Earth is massive.It won’t even notice."

"If I can manipulate energy, can I deplete people of their energy?"

"Yes, but you don’t want to pull a bad person’s energy into you," Zoe said.

"Where would I send it?"

"Into the Earth. It neutralizes bad energy and recycles it into other life."

"That makes sense.Plants die and get turned into mulch for other plants.Animals defecate, and nature takes it and turns it into something else.Why not energy too?"

"Exactly," Zoe said.

"Now try feeling into the pack house.There are a lot of people in there.See what you can read."

Thea located the pack house.

It felt different from the surrounding woods.It wasn’t alive.She could feel the individual people inside the building.

Each person had a distinct feel.She figured out some of them were sleeping.

They gave off a different energy and their brainwaves were different.

There were some couples making love.

There were some people who were anxious.

Other pack members were talking to them, trying to make them feel welcome.

Other people were cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, working.

"What are you getting off people?" Zoe said.

Thea told her what she sensed.Zoe asked her questions and gave her pointers.

They played around with it for a while longer.

"That’s enough for now," Zoe said.

"Take a break.This stuff can wear you out."
