KESKA: “Well, yesterday, on the way to aikido lessons, the princes’ helped this lady against a group of bullies, let me be
clear, bullies not rouges but I will let her tell you her story, I brought her here to stay until we could figure something out
for her, father doesn’t know about her, and as I said you will have to talk to her to get her story and her bio, but it
appears that she is his mate.”
I tell him with a nod in the direction of Ailea, sitting at the table with her mate. “Thank you,
I will have a chat with her.”
“Let me introduce you to her, she has been through a bit of trauma.”
I tell him. He nods. I lead him inside and I step over to the table. “Ailea, this is alpha Camron, he is your mate’s alpha, please tell him what you told me, he will be able to help you.”
I tell her. I look at the rest of my group and motion to move outside to let them talk in private. They follow me out.
CAMRON: I get a very strange link from one of my warriors, seems he and a buddy along with two others from a different
pack were out for a walk and one of them found his mates in a cabin in the woods. Then he says that a pup about 16 wants to talk to me, he said, she said something about me having a black eye. I have to chuckle, wondering what she is up to now. *“Is it the cabin we passed on the run yesterday?”* I asked. *“And be respectful to her, she did give me a black
eye.”* I send back to my man. *“Yes.”* He sends back. Then after my brief conversation with Kes I come inside and sit
down at the table with Ailea and her mate, one of my other warriors. “Ailea, I am alpha Camron as Kes said, I want you to
tell me what happened to you, and how you ended up here.”
I say softly to her. She nods her head. “You need to meet my son.”
She says. I nod and so does my warrior. “Joey, come meet your new papa, and alpha.”
She calls. We see a pup
maybe about 4 come from what looks to be maybe a bedroom. “Mama?”
She waves him to come to her, and he runs to
her and wraps his little arms around her. “Hi.”
I hold out my hand to the little boy. “My name is Camron.”
He looks to his
mother; she nods to him, and he shakes my hand “I’m Joey.”
He says. “Hi Joey, I’m Smith.”
My warrior introduces himself;
I watch as Joey shakes his hand. I link my man. *“Take the boy outside and bond with him, I need to get her story, and I
think she needs some time to adjust to having a mate.”* I tell him. He nods at me. “How would you like to go outside
and come play with me and my friends?”
He asked the little boy. Joey looks to his mother. “Go ahead baby, I will be right
here, and we will leave the door open so you can see me.”
She tells him. I watch as Smith get down to the boy’s level, would you like to meet my wolf?”
he asked him. I see the little boy’s face light up and he nods his head with enthusiasm.
They leave the cabin, leaving the door open. I am going to have to take notes, I know, so I asked her if there is any paper
around. She hands me a sheet that has been colored on. “Sorry it’s all I have.”
I turn it over and write on the back side of
it. I start to ask all the pertinent questions needed for the records. Then I ask her to tell me her story. I know the
reputation of the stone claw pack, but I never thought that it was as bad as what she is telling me. I have a pretty strong
pack, and my warriors train every day, I have even gone so far as trading trainers with some of the other packs near me
to help strengthen all our packs. So, I’m not too worried about Stone Claw, but I also know they don’t play by the rules,
so I am going to have to talk to Alpha Drake about doing some cross training with his warriors and maybe even have a
few on loan down the line if need be. After hearing Ailea story my mind starts going into overdrive, I have an idea, but we will all need to be on the same page, that includes the other two warriors I link Smith. “Send one of the other warriors
from the other pack in.”
“Yes Alpha.”
I ask her. “That she
stayed on pack land, the fact that we helped her is of little issue, he knows we go off pack land for our lessons, but the
fact that the princes’ were with us might get me in hot water.”
I say. “What’s your
name?”
He answers. “Please link your Alpha, and have him come here, I need to discuss
something with him.”
I say to him. He nods and I watch as his eyes glaze over. Soon Alpha Eric from Midnight Sky Pack
shows up. I step out of the cabin and send Smith and Joey back in, so that they can talk and get to know each other, and
she can share her story with him. I walk up to Alpha Eric with my hand out to shake hands with him and introduce myself
to him. “So, what’s so secret that we need to meet out in the middle of nowhere?”
He asked. “Well, I need your help in
keeping a certain young lady from getting into trouble.”
I tell him, with a nod in Keska direction. “And just what kind of
trouble would she be getting into?”
