Possible Trauma TriggersApril POVI hope things go right this time. Kyle and I thought that we had a good plan set last time. We had gotten the location of the last bunker to my Dad. We were waiting in the shadows for Dad and the council warriors to arrive when we saw the hunter start loading things into the trucks and drive off. We overheard a couple of hunters talking about having to come back for the rest of the women. That changed our plan from waiting for Dad to show up, to trying to find a way to either follow or find out where they were going. The next thing we know Meg comes out of the bunker, alone. Kyle acted before I could stop him. He drugged her and started carrying her away. It made sense when he explained that he wanted to get her as far away from the bunker as possible if they were moving them. This way we would at least have her safe while we looked for the next location. We didn’t plan on her sneaking away from
Quinn POVJust before we reach the parking lot we hear a gunshot followed by a scream and the sound of something hard hitting the side of the van. The smell of blood hits my nose as I round the end of the van where I see April crouched down beside a body lying on the ground. Oh Goddess, please, don’t let me be too late. April jumps to her feet and takes up a fighting stance. I see her shoulders relax when she realizes it’s me. I run to her grabbing her into a bone-crushing hug as I look over her shoulder at the body on the ground. The guy is naked and has what looks to be a gunshot wound to his left shoulder. I start to step around April towards the guys when April stops me by grabbing my forearm. “Meg’s in the van.”All thoughts of the guy on the ground are gone. I rush to the back of the van as Gage reaches for the handle. I place my hand on his stopping him. “There is a guy with a gunshot wound that needs attention. I’ve got this.” With a nod of understanding, he moves off the assi
April POVThings moved fast and in a bit of a blur after I told Quinn that Meg was in the van. Gage who I had met briefly at Findhorn handed me a long T-shirt and asked me to back up so that his warriors could move Kyle to the van. Gage then went over and placed the cuffs that were in his hand on Kyle’s uncle. I had explained that Kyle wanted some answers from him. When we reached the clinic I stood feeling helpless as they loaded Kyle onto a stretcher and wheeled him inside. I followed the Doctor and nurses into the room that was set up. I explained to the Doctor what had happened how his wolf had been suppressed until a few months ago and today was the first time he had shifted. Only to be shot a minute or so later. I wasn’t allowed to stay in the room while they tended to Kyle’s wound. One of the nurses suggested that I go shower and eat then come back. As I exited Kyle’s room I could hear Quinn snapping at someone. “She is my mate damn it.”I watched Mac enter the room after the n
Possible Trauma TriggersQuinn POVAs I opened the door I stopped so quickly that Mac bumped into me from behind. I can’t make myself move. All I can do is stare at the beauty in front of me. Mac slips passed me into the room and heads for the side of the bed. I take a deep breath turn and run out of the clinic. I hear Mac calling me through the link but I just block him. I need to get all these emotions under control. I still have guilt that I’m the reason that she was even taken in the first place. If I had been strong enough to protect her she wouldn’t have felt the need to leave in the first place. If I hadn’t caught the attention of Avery. If I had paid more attention to what Avery was doing I might have been able to stop her from working with the hunters. There are so many things that I should have done differently that may have changed this outcome. I find a bench hidden away in the corner of the park and slump down on it. Leaning forward with my elbows on my knees and my head
Quinn POVAfter Mac left I sat on the bench staring off at nothing. Just letting what he had said sink in. I have always thought that all of our parents had these easy-go-lucky relationships. Over the last few years though I have started to find out otherwise. But even with all the hardships and shit that they had been through each couple that I knew loved each other. You could see it when they looked at each other. The way they gravitate towards each other when they are in the same room. If they could all survive what they went through, then Meg and I have a chance. The thought that I could have lost Meg before I even knew she existed is scary. If her grandfather had succeeded in causing Kelly to miscarry and to think that asshole was going to use that same granddaughter that he tried to get rid of in his little pet breeding project. It makes you wonder what other plans he may have had for Kelly when it looked as if she wasn’t going to be Luna.I stood and started making my way back
Possible Trauma TriggersMeg POVI can hear a faint beeping sound coming from my right so that means I’m in one of the medical rooms. How long was I out this time? The last thing I remember was that prick Rick picking me up and throwing me into the back of a van. I can’t stop the tears that start to fall. I don’t even want to open my eyes. What if they…? I think it would be better to just give up. Find a way to end it all. Then they won’t be able to do anymore to me. I’m sorry Quinn. I tried I really did but I can’t do this anymore. I wanted to get back to you. “I’m sorry Quinn,” I mumbled out loud and just kept repeating it. That was until I felt the most amazing feeling on my cheeks as someone wiped away my tears.Then I heard a voice that I had given up on hearing ever again. “You’re safe Angel.” The tears flowed faster and I leaned into the warmth from his hand and the feel of the tingles spreading through my body. I still didn’t want to open my eyes in case it was all a dream. A w
April POVAfter Kyle pulled back from that mind-blowing kiss it took a few seconds for it to register what he said. It caused heat to rise in my cheeks as I replied. “Hi.” I lay there staring at him as a smile broke out across his face. I could see Blizzard right near the surface trying to get Autumn’s attention. She was just as eager as Blizzard. ‘We can’t do anything yet.’ I told her. ‘We need to make sure that Meg is OK and that the Doctor gives Kyle the all-clear to leave the clinic. I am not having my first time with Kyle or anyone for that matter in a hospital bed.’‘Fine, only because I don’t want to hurt mate.’ Autumn says with a huff and sulks off into the corner of my mind. I tried to push myself off of Kyle but with the way his arm tightened around me, I could tell he wasn’t having any of that. “Kyle I need to go and tell the nurses that you are awake,” I said trying again to sit up.“Not yet.” He said staring into my eyes. “Please just give me a few minutes alone with you t
I'm sorry that I have missed a few days of updates. The storms that went through my area played havoc with my internet. Here's hoping that it's fixed. The joys of living in a rural area. Thanks for your patience.Mac POVAt the sound of Meg asking if it was me I jumped to my feet almost knocking the chair over. “Yes, Sweet Pea, it’s me. It’s Daddy. I’m here baby girl.” I kept a hold of her hand and started placing a kiss along her knuckles before moving to her forehead. She tried to sit up and I gently pushed her back down. “Just stay in bed for a bit and I’ll get the Doctor to come and check you out first. OK?” She nodded and relaxed back down onto the pillow. I quickly stepped out of the room to the nurses’ desk and told them that Meg was awake and talking. When I entered the room again Meg was trying to reach the water on the bedside table. I took two quick steps over to the bedside grabbing it and her before she toppled over the side. I placed my hand behind her helping her sit up
