Possible Trauma TriggersKyle POV“Yes damn it. I am.” I linked back to April. I know she was trying to tease me but I wasn’t kidding this chick scared me. It might be just all the horror stories that I have heard over the last little while about how Avery was with Quinn but I’m freaking out right now. All I have been getting from this woman is either complete hatred for April or weird creepy stocker vibes towards me. And those feelings are not even being triggered by the wolf side it is just my human half picking those up. I’m even more convinced that having Quinn and Meg join us for the rest of our journey will be a good idea. Quinn has experience with crazy. And that is the vibe that I am getting from this person. I wasn't too sure about having them join us when Quinn called last night. I was kind of hoping to do this adventure on our own. The whole track down your origins thing, just me and my mate. I thought it was going to be pretty easy that was until we talked with Stella. Bu
April POVWe have been talking to Brooke for almost an hour now and the only thing useful or of interest that she has said was when she let it slip that she knew Kyle was alive this whole time and thought that the Council had him. She went on about how he had been getting the best possible training. She went on and on about how he would be the best Alpha out there. This interview has been taking even longer because Brooke has more or less refused to answer any of the questions I have asked. Kyle has had to repeat them before she would answer. It is starting to really piss me off. After eating the first tart Kyle and I have also shared one of lemon and one cherry. Kyle always took the first bite and not once did she try and stop him. Getting an idea that may help us finish with this woman sooner I linked Kyle. I know for sure he is not going to like it but we have to try something to get more information out of her. “I think you will get more if I leave.”“Oh fuck, please don’t do that
Meg POVWhen I went to meet Quinn at the building site I knew that he was going to be there by himself today that is why I decided to shift and let Willow run taking what I have been calling our special shirt with me. I could tell that he was feeling lonely before I even got there. Willow picked up from Ash that it was that he was missing April. Like Levi and I the two of them have always been close siblings. That is why after that mind-blowing sex on the office desk, which was what I had been coming here for in the first place, I suggested that we go and meet up with April and Kyle. They had been gone for about five weeks and were to be at the last of their pack stops before the final stop at the old site of the Four Corner pack lands. They had taken and driven out to the furthest pack that they were going to be visiting so were making their way back. They were going to be backtracking a little because they had wanted to leave the pack that had taken in the former Beta family last.
Kyle POVWhen I got Quinn’s call saying they were at the nearby dinner, I felt so relieved. I have been on edge the whole time we have been here and it only got worse after that interview with Brooke and the findings from the tests done on the tarts that April took to the clinic. From what the results said there had been wolfsbane baked into the crust which can harm us in large amounts but in smaller quantities, slows our healing down. That is one of the reasons it is added to alcohol so that we can at least get a nice buzz going when we want to. It is also used when surgery is needed so the surgeon will have the time they need without the patient healing or waking up too soon. So the wolfsbane alone wouldn’t have done much to any of us. It was what was found in the cherry filling that was scary. There had been a combination of two poisons the amounts of both would have been enough to kill three large adult human males. There had been both arsenic and cyanide. From what the doctor tol
Quinn POVAs we pulled up in front of the packhouse I could see that worry on Kyle’s face. I may not have known him for long but I recognize that look. He is worried about his mate. We were quickly greeted by Alpha Graham and Luna Sara and ushered into his office. This can’t be good if we jump past most formalities. As we entered the office Meg and I were asked to sit. Alpha Graham sat at his desk and pulled Luna Sara onto his lap. Kyle did the same with April at one end of the couch and I followed suit with Meg in my lap.“Kyle since you did the interview I’ll let you take from here on filling in Quinn and Meg.” Alpha Graham says.Kyle tells us about this plan that the Council had arranged with Beta Bruce. About how Kyle and Brooke were to take over as Alpha and Luna of Four Corners but things had gotten messed up when Kyle ended up in the hospital instead of with the Council. It would seem that the original plan was for Kyle’s Uncle to believe that Kyle had been killed with his paren
April POVMeg and I have joined Luna Sara at one of the training sessions that she runs for some of the younger girls. It is not as much as fight training as a self-defence course. The group ranges in age eight to twelve.“So what made you start this group?” I ask her.“When I first met Graham there wasn’t much of any kind of training done with the girls. Graham never thought that it was right and had tried for years to get his Dad to start training the females the same way the males are but he would never go for it. Graham’s Dad was old-fashioned in his thinking. He didn’t see the point in using his men to train women who didn’t need to fight in the first place. So as soon as Graham took over as Alpha we set up this program. We knew there would be some pushback from some of the older members. You know how some of the older generation is about change. That is why we introduced it as a self-defence course. It was weird that no one seemed to have a problem with the girls learning to def
Brooke POVThey caught the idiot. He was told to wait until there weren’t many people around, so what did he do? He takes the shot in the middle of the girls’ defence training. It is so hard to find good help these days. I hope Alpha Graham skins him alive to get information out of him. Not that he’ll get much the idiot doesn’t know who hired him. He was just given instructions which he apparently couldn’t follow. He won’t be missed. So now I have to improvise. From what I was told about the drug the little slut should be out of it for at least another three maybe four hours. It’s enough time to get her delivered to Jake. I don’t know why my Kyle is still playing this game. Pretending to care about her like he loves her or something. I thought by now he would have been on board with getting rid of her. And I still haven’t figured out what went wrong with that tart. Kyle had been sitting in the little bitch’s room the whole time and if it had just been him I would have gone in and got h
Possible Trauma TriggersQuinn POVI stand staring at the car in the ditch. I can feel the rage and sadness pouring off of Kyle from where he has slumped to the ground. I feel a warm tingle spread across my back just before I hear the gasp from Meg as she sees what we are looking at. I know I need to go down there and see if my sister is OK but I can’t get my feet to move. I can hear Alpha Graham shouting out orders to his men. Two of them are making their way down to the car. I held my breath as the men checked the passenger compartment and started forcing the trunk open. When one of them turns and shakes his no indicating that they found nothing I don’t know if I should be happy or even more frantic. There are so many possibilities for the car being empty. Did Brooke ditch it to cover her tracks? Had she already dropped off April and then had the accident but got out? Were both women in the car and then got out? But the question for all those is where are they now?“Search the area.
