We started to walk towards the hospital, Samantha stopped and turned to me and my brother. “Christopher, could you do me a huge favor?”
I looked at her quizzically as Chris answered. “Uh, okay?”
“Could you mind link your parents and ask to leave your brother’s room for a few minutes?”
He looked shocked but nodded. After his eyes refocused, he looked at her. “Okay, done. Can I ask why?”
Samantha growled. “Violet refused her medication again...” She turned and walked past my parents who were leaving the hospital, slightly confused.
My eyes go wide as I hurry behind her; Chris following me. She marches to the end of the hallway, and I can feel her anger start to increase. As we reached the end of the hall, she slammed the door open. “What the hell!!!” She yelled.
I cautiously looked in
I’m in a large office, I have all my papers around me and I’m coloring a picture. The large man is by the big desk also looking at his papers. I took him some crayons, but he insisted on using his black ink pens. How boring. After a minute he stands and looks at me. “Sammy, Daddy has a meeting. Do you want to stay or go play?”I close my eyes. “I’ll stay with Daddy!” I grab my crayons and paper and go under his desk like I always do. After a minute he goes to the door and opens it.“Eric! Matthew! Come in, sit down.” I look carefully from under the desk and look at the two pairs of shoes, one black and the other brown. Darn, no strings. There are two of them also...but I know my dad can take them both if he needs to: nobody can beat my dad. My dad sits at his desk. “So, gentlemen, what do I owe the pleasure?”“As you know, the rogue problem is gettin
Two days later the trackers finally called back in. They tracked the rogues west into Tennessee before they doubled back and ended up near Asheville. They were forced to stop and considering the circumstances Samantha told them to return. They found a smaller group of them and over a dozen hostages. Samantha ordered them to be returned to the pack. We will be expecting them soon. Elder Alan was emailing the Council of Thirteen to alert them of what happened. He was not expecting much he told me, as the Council prefers to let the individual packs settle attacks from rogues and other werewolves. They normally only intervene when it involves vampires or witches or something that concerns the royal family. Samantha feels a lot better now, and the doctor says I can resume my silver regimen tomorrow. He also was extremely irate that we shared a kiss that caused me to pass out. Again, he made us both swear to come in for more bloodwork and test
“Samantha! Samantha!” I shake my mate, before grabbing my phone and dialing the first name in my list. “Jess! Jess!!! Something’s wrong with Samantha!!!”“What’s wrong?” She asked worriedly. “Where are you?”“Um...in her old room! Jessica!!! I can’t get her to wake up!”“I’m on the way Benjamin! Is she breathing???”I roll her over and check, “Yes she is!”“Okay, stay calm. I’m almost there.” She answered. “The doctor is on the way too. What happened?” She appeared in the doorway and hurried over to my mate. “It looks like she fainted, what happened?”I shake my head. “We were just talking! I don’t know! We were talking about her doll when she asked me.... why her doll used to smell like me??? Then s
Sometime later we are all gathered in Samantha’s office; my parents, Chris and Laura are also here, we are going to be transferring Jake into our pack. This time, Violet is showing me exactly what files are needed: paperwork and basic background checks. She tells me that if we are bringing in someone from a pack we don’t usually deal with the process takes longer... we need to know exactly what the other pack is like to be sure we are not bringing in a mole. There are other safeguards in place and that involves a strict interview with Samantha, Violet, and the petitioning wolf.I couldn’t help but notice that Samantha kept the desk between her and Jake the entire time, and she had to replace her gloves when she went to shake his hand. I sighed, I hope she doesn’t have to wear them a lot... I hate that she has to hide that part of her from others. She once offered to stop wearing the polish for a while, but I insisted she keep it on; it&rs
Samantha just stood there for a moment. “Wait a minute, what?”“When the trackers brought them in, he was with them. We separated him from the rogues and put him in the special cell. He doesn’t want to let us take him to the hospital, he doesn’t smell like a rogue, and he is only about 9 or 10.”“We can’t have a pup down there are you crazy?” Samantha growled before rushing off, I am right behind her. I hear growling and screaming coming from the cells before I enter, the guards looking at me in silent respect. As soon as we enter, I hesitate, the smell is overpowering and the ‘walking dead’ are whooping and hollering. She glares at all the prisoners before blasting out her command. “Shut up!”Instantly everyone quiets down and Samantha walks to the closest cell and peers inside. Inside is a young boy, tears are running down his face and he is
Later, as we are settling down for the night, Lily lets us know that Nick had to be sedated. There were also signs of past abuse, healed bones and deep bruises. Doctor thinks most of the broken bones happened months ago; since Nick hasn’t shifted yet he was forced to heal at a human’s pace. Just what hell has this child gone through?Samantha didn’t take the news well, and she is sitting on the roof. The moon isn't full, but she says the half moon may still help calm her nerves. I’m giving her space because she asked for it, but I agreed only if I could check on her once she was gone for more than 30 minutes. I could feel her emotions and they were scaring me slightly; going from extreme rage to sorrow back to rage again. I was feeling exhausted, and these wasn’t even my emotions. I glance over as she climbs back in the window and I go over and hug her. She is shivering and I kick myself for not making sure she had a coat.
I woke up the next morning and my mate wasn’t in the room. I glance around before I notice a note on the coffee table.Hey Sweetie, I had to blow off some more steam. Sorry I didn’t wake you, you looked so peaceful. Be back soon, I promise! -SI sigh as I read the little note over and over, I check under the coffee table and her tools are gone. She must have gone to the cells to deal with another ‘walking dead.’ There isn’t much I can do so I go about my normal routine, getting my workout clothes out. Its been way too long since I attended a training session and that stops today. As I’m leaving our room I look to my mate’s old room, I don’t know what I’m expecting...maybe another flash of a forgotten memory?Standing in the doorway a little longer than necessary I sigh and leave. Nothing new came to me, maybe I shoul
After we got the trailer packed up, we sat and visited with my parents. Tim stayed by us the whole time, I don’t know if he was trying to hide from Monica, but we haven’t seen her since the incident in the yard. We learned that Kimmie left the pack soon after Dad banished her from the packhouse and kept her in the dungeon for a few days as her punishment. Her parents seemed very apologetic for their daughter and sent her away to family members.I’m glad that she is gone. The bitch brigade is down to three now and we haven’t seen the other two today, thank the Goddess.My mom pulled me to the side as Chris started asking more about the role of a Delta, our parent’s pack doesn’t have one and he was planning on creating that post when he took over. “I found something for you, dear.” She led me into her bedroom. “I was going through some of my things and found a bunch of pictures. If what you
