Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna Chapter 85

Preparations

“How do we go about getting something set up to teach the ex slaves how to read?” Thea thought to the triplets as they walked toward the pack house.

“Aren’t there some retired teachers in the pack?” Conri said over mind link.

“Yeah. Aldo Brown and Senan Moore,” Alaric said.

“Let’s talk to them,” Kai said. “You know, we’re going to need our own offices here pretty soon. Somewhere to meet on official pack business.”

“I’d say we need them today,” Conri said.

“We’ll talk to Maggie about getting it set up,” Alaric said. “For now, the coffee shop?”

Conri and Kai nodded.

Alaric mind linked Aldo and Senan and asked them to meet them at the coffee shop in the village. Then he mind linked Maggie about getting their offices set up.

A few minutes later, they were sitting in the coffee shop with Aldo and Senan.

“Thank you for meeting us here,” Alaric said.

“Of course, Alpha,” Aldo said.

“As you know, we’ve had an influx of pack members,” Kai said. “A good number of them were formerly slaves, and they have no formal education. We want to teach them to read.”

“Will you help us get something set up?” Conri said.

“Of course,” Aldo said.

“We’d be delighted to dust off the old teaching skills,” Senan said.

“Excellent,” Alaric said. “What do you need?”

“We can do the main teaching, but we’ll need some other people to help,” Aldo said. “People to go around and help individuals with their work. Two teachers can’t cover over a hundred students at once.”

“Do you want us to send out a request for volunteers? Or do you have people in mind?” Alaric said.

“I think we know enough people who can help,” Senan said. “We’ll talk to them today.”

“You know, they’ll need to learn basic math too,” Aldo said.

“This is why we came to you,” Alaric said.

“We’ll need a space big enough for the group,” Aldo said.

“We can designate some of the ballrooms,” Kai said. “One for math, the other for reading? Or do you need to separate age groups?”

“We can start with two ballrooms,” Aldo said. “See what we’re working with and go from there.”

The triplets nodded.

“What else do you need?” Thea said.

“We’ll need paper, pencils, books, chalkboard,” Senan said.

“I don’t know where to go for those things,” Alaric said.

“Don’t worry,” Aldo said. “Occupational hazard. We know where to order teaching supplies.”

“Whatever resources you need, you have,” Kai said. “We’ll get the pack accountants to give you a card so you can make the orders.”

“How soon will you be ready to start?” Conri said.

“I think we could be ready by Monday,” Senan said, looking at Aldo.

“Yes, we’ll have enough to get going on Monday,” Aldo said.

“Let’s go talk to Maggie, get the rooms secured, then we can start setting them up,” Alaric said. “Maggie will assign pack house staff to assist you getting tables and chairs, whatever else you need.”

The group went to the pack house. They visited the pack accountants, then went to Maggie, the pack house manager, and explained what they needed. The triplets and Thea left Aldo and Senan with her to get things sorted.

“I think it’ll be good for the newcomers to have something to occupy their time while they’re getting used to being here,” Conri said.

“After they learn how to read, they can shadow people in their professions, see what their interests are,” Thea said.

“Good thinking,” Kai said.

“Can we go to the apothecary?” Thea said. “I want to see the guy that’s making the crowd control weapons.”

“Yeah, this way,” Conri said.

He led the way towards the apothecary store.

“Mr. Garrity,” Conri said when they walked in.

“Alphas, Luna,” Mr. Garrity said.

“Thankyou for the help last night. The weapons were invaluable,” Alaric said.

“Of course,” he said. “I’m already working on more for our patrolmen.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thank you. That’s actually not why I’m here. I wanted to see if you would let me use my gift on you,” Thea said. “I’m still learning what all I can do, but I might be able to boost your abilities. At least give you energy.”

“By all means, please do,” Mr. Garrity said.

She felt into his brain.

“Will you think about your work?” Thea said. “As if you were working on something.”

“Sure.”

Thea sensed the parts of his brain that lit up. She funneled energy to those parts, intended that those parts be supercharged, more plastic, more able to connect neurons and work better. Then she funneled in energy to charge him and his body in general.

“Wow,” Mr. Garrity said. “I feel smarter. More energized. That was incredible.”

Thea smiled. “Let me know if it helps.”

“I will. Can I ask what you did?”

Her Delta team guards were interested in her answer.

“I could sense what parts of your brain lit up while you were thinking about working, and I funneled energy to those parts to boost them.”

“Hmm. I wonder if you could sense wolfsbane and reverse engineer an antidote.”

“What’s wolfsbane?”

Mr. Garrity raised his eyebrows then looked at the triplets.

“Her memory loss was thorough,” Alaric said.

Mr. Garrity turned back to Thea. “It’s a plant, and it’s poisonous to werewolves. There’s no known antidote. You asked me to look into creating an antidote.”

“I’ll give it a go. Do you have some available?” Thea said.

“One moment.” He disappeared through a door and reappeared with a tray of wolfsbane in different forms. “Depending on the preparation, the poison is more potent, acts faster. Do you get anything off these?”

Thea felt into the different forms. Even though they all had a similar energy signature, she could read the plant the best. It still had life in it.

“The feeling I’m getting off it is that there’s a molecule in the werewolf body that this attacks. If you could protect that molecule somehow so the wolfsbane couldn’t hurt it, I think you’d be fine.”

“I’ve been doing some research,” Mr. Garrity said. “Reaching out to scientists. All of the molecules in our bodies communicate with

each other. They signal what kind of molecule they are, and they have receptors to see what’s around them. There’s a branch of medicine that creates drugs to block the receptors or trick them so the bad

stuff can’t get in. Or they mess up the bad molecule’s ability to signal the receptor, again, so it can’t get into the cell to damage it. If we could create something on either end, we might have an antidote.”

“That sounds like a good place to start,” Thea said.

“Yes, it does.”

“Is there anything you need from us? Do you need assistants?

More equipment to make larger quantities? We’ve added a lot of pack members, and we may have to fight to keep them safe. I don’t want any of our people getting hurt. Your creations may be an integral part of keeping people safe.”

“To mass produce, yes, I’ll need some new equipment and probably an assistant or two.”

“Whatever you need, you have,” Alaric said. “We’d like to get the border patrol equipped ASAP.”

“Yes, sir. I understand.”

“I may have someone who would be a great apprentice,” Thea said. “One of the refugees. She was a slave, a cook mostly, but I got the feeling from her that she has an affinity for potions and combining herbs. You can, of course, hire whoever you want—”

“If you have a feeling about her, I would love to try her out,” Mr. Garrity said.

Thea smiled. “You know they’re all a bit skittish. She may need time to adjust to things here.”

“Of course.”

“Thea,” Alaric said in mind link. “It’s time for the meeting with Delta team.”
