Strike Force

Thea got a tingly sensation in the meeting room. It felt like something big happened in there.

Serious-looking men kept filing into the room, bowing their heads to Thea and the triplets as they entered. To anyone else, they would have seemed intimidating. Thea couldn’t see them that way, though. They felt like family. Strange since she didn’t even know if she had any family.

“Everyone’s here,” Conri said to Thea.

She nodded and went to the front of the room. These were her men. Even though she didn’t know the first thing about leading a strike force, she knew she should be the one to address them.

“Speak from the heart,” Zoe said. “These men hang on your every word. They want to please you. Trust them. Show them you trust them.”

“Thanks for the tip,” Thea thought. She took a deep breath and looked around the room. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice. We’ve had a lot of people reach out for help. Most of them don’t have a way to get here. There are too many other packs between them and us to travel on foot. We offered to pick them up outside their pack lands. I think it best we hit everyone one after the other tonight.”

She paused. “Liam, does everyone know what we know about my gift?” she said in mind link.

“I haven’t briefed everyone yet, but you can trust them with the information,” Liam mind linked her.

“I’m learning about this gift thing,” she said out loud. “When I first woke up, I could feel other people’s emotions. I wrote it off when I learned about the matebond, but I can feel people other than my mates.

When I put my full attention on someone, it gets really clear. My wolf told me my gift is Life. Vague, I know. She said I’m in tune with it. I can sense it, read it, manipulate it, interact with it, understand it.”

“What do you mean?” one of the Delta team men said. She needed to learn their names.

“I don’t know the full extent yet,” Thea said. “I can feel people’s emotions. I can sense their intentions. Like with Xavier in the woods yesterday. I didn’t know why, but I was drawn to find him. I must have felt his intention to hurt us and felt compelled to take care of it. When I saw him, I knew he was evil right away. Today, I visited him.”

She told them what she did at Moonlit pack.

“You could tell his brain wasn’t fully developed, and then you fixed it?” one of the Delta team men said.

“I think so,” Thea said.

Eyebrows lifted.

“I didn’t realize it at the time,” Thea said. “But when I fought him yesterday, I think I could sense his moves before he made them. It felt like it was

happening in slow motion. Like it was obvious what he was going to do.”

More eyebrows lifted in surprise.

“I don’t know how deep I can go with sensing people or how far away I can sense them. I’ll need to practice. I’ve been picking up on things since I woke up, and I practiced with Zoe a little this afternoon. I could sense everyone in the pack house, and in the woods. There was a couple making out in the woods earlier. I could feel them both, what they were doing, how they both felt.” She shook her head. “Other people just going for a run, clearing their heads. Most of the people in the pack house felt similar. Happy. In harmony. A few were sleeping. Some were making love. ” i

“You can tell what they’re doing?” Chase said. She knew his name. He was one of the guards she yelled at when she first woke up.

“Yeah,” Thea said.

“You can clearly define how many people there are?” Hunter said.

“I think so,” Thea said. “If they are all feeling similar things and are physically close together, maybe not. Like the group of people training—they were doing the same thing at the same time, thinking similarly. The leader stuck out. His energy was different than the group of followers. There was one girl who stuck out too. She felt different. Joyful. Everyone else felt like it was a normal day, and they blended together. She felt like she was in heaven. It was strikingly different.”

“I bet that was Alessia,” Kai thought.

Thea looked at Kai. “That makes sense,” she thought to him. “I think I’ll be able to sense people in the woods,” she said out loud. “Where they are, how

many there are, if someone gets injured and needs help, and what their intentions are. If they want help or if they want to hurt us. ”

“That would be helpful,” Liam said.

“I don’t want anyone to be vulnerable. I think it would be best if we stay together and do it one pack at a time so I can use the gift. I should be able to sense if there are any hostile beings in the vicinity while we’re picking up the refugees, and I’ll vet the people before we let them onto our land. Since I don’t know the geography, or the packs, or anything, I imagine you all would plan the logistics better than me. Um, is there someone in particular that usually does the planning stuff?”

Liam and a few other men stood up.

“I apologize that I don’t remember your names or how things work.” She paused. “Even though I don’t remember, I want to tell you, you feel like family. I can sense that you’re all good and honorable men.

Being around you all is comforting, while everything is new and frequently alarming. Thank you for being who you are, and thank you for your patience.”

Thea felt the room warm at her words. She walked

over to Liam, pulled out her phone, and handed it to him.

“All the info is in the texts,” Thea said.

“It’s locked, Luna,” Liam said.

“Alaric, what was the password?”

“Our birthday.”

She bit her lip. “When, uh, when is that?”

“Zero three two seven,” Alaric said.

Liam typed it in. “Got it.”

The men got to work making plans.

“Sorry,” Alaric said in mind link. “I wasn’t thinking. I got lost in how good you were doing up there. You’re such a natural leader. You get everyone wrapped around your finger with your strength, honesty, trust, and vulnerability. I forgot you don’t remember everything for a minute.”

“It’s okay. You could always make it up to me later,” Thea thought to him.

“Mmm, what do you want?” Alaric said over mind link.

“I keep getting the feeling you know me better than I do,” she thought.

He smiled.

“Will you guys tell me everyone’s names in here?” Thea thought to her mates.

“Of course, babe,” Conri said over mind link.

“Yes, my love,” Alaric said.

Kai held her from behind and kissed her neck. “Happy to, darling,” he thought.

By the time the men finished making the plan, she knew most of their names.

Liam and the other Delta team men explained the plan to the whole room. Some of the men made comments, and they tweaked the plan. Then they sent out texts to tell the people when to be where.

“You ’ll stay at your vehicle, Luna, so you can use your gift,” Liam said. “Let everyone know what’s going on in mind link. Call out where people are, how many, if they’re refugees, patrolmen, or something else. Give us any information you pick up on. We’ll all be open to each other over mind link —one big party line—and no one will shut off their mind link.”

“I can do that,” Thea said.

“If we have to leave the vehicles to fight, you’ll stay at your vehicle,” Liam said.

“Understood,” Thea said. “I wouldn’t want to get in the way of this well-oiled machine.” She waved her hand at the Delta team men.

The men smiled with pride.

“Is everyone rested enough to participate? I know you all take shifts on guard duty.”

“We’ll rest before we go tonight,” Liam said.

She nodded.

“Um,” Thea said. “Another thing about the gift. I don’t know if it will be an issue tonight, but I should probably inform you all just in case. If something big happens, I’ll feel it. Like when Xavier had his canines ripped out. I passed out. It felt like it was happening to me. It felt like my wolf was dying. If I didn’t have my mates, I wouldn’t be standing. I can still feel Xavier.

It’s getting fainter as his life is fading, but he’s in excruciating pain.”

“And you can feel it?” Oz said.

“It’s not nearly as bad as it was when his wolf was dying, but yeah. I may be totally fine tonight, but I might also pass out or somehow be affected by something. I’ll probably be fine. I don’t want it to interrupt the op. I’m just saying something might put me out of commission for the rest of the op. I assume you all have been doing fine without my gift, so it won’t be a big loss.”

“What defines a big thing?” Maverick said. “Will you feel us fighting tonight? If we have to put someone down, is that going to take you out?”

“I don’t know,” Thea said. “I’ll probably be aware. I don’t know how big the thing has to be for it to knock me out. The group training didn’t bother me. People hit each other, got knocked down, and I was fine.”

“If your gift is Life, you’ll probably feel a death and take it hard,” Owen said.

“Okay,” Liam said. “She’s a glass cannon.”

“Huh?” Thea said.

“It’s a saying. Cannons are big weapons, but glass is fragile. You’re our big gun, but we have to keep you insulated and protected.”

Thea nodded.

“I wonder if the apothecary has some more prototypes we could take tonight,” Landon said.

“That could be useful,” Liam said.

“What are they talking about?” Thea mind linked the triplets.

“You commissioned the apothecary to make crowd control weapons,” Conri mind linked her.

“Is there a danger of friendly fire?” Alaric said. “We would have the antidotes, but the refugees wouldn’t.”

“Nothing is fatal. They’d be fine within the hour,” one of the men said.

“That’s right, and that’s the point,” Alaric said. “ They aren’t fatal, but they’ll take out the bad guys long enough for us to complete the mission. Yeah, I think it’s worth the risk of friendly fire if we can avoid killing anyone tonight since we don’t know how that

will affect Thea.”

The men nodded.

“We’ll go to Mr. Garrity after this, then we’ll get everything prepared,” Liam said.

“Sounds good,” Alaric said. “See you in a few hours.”

They all went their separate ways to prepare.
