Possible Trauma TriggersKyle POVI had a sense of calm as I followed Quinn and Levi the rest of the way to my uncle’s cell. I hadn’t given Abby much thought and I felt a little guilty about that. But after seeing the way that she melted into Dylan’s arms I knew that she was going to be taken care of. Abby was like me and had lost her parents young but she didn’t have any relatives that were with the hunters. We were never able to figure out how she ended up with them. “Quinn, when Abby was brought in were any tests done on her?” I asked.“What kind of tests?” He asked as we stopped outside the door leading into the next hallway of cells.“To see if she has any wolf genes. She is like me and was raised by the hunter from a young age, but none of them were blood relatives like my uncle and me.”I watch Quinn as he links someone. “I have Dr. Beal coming to draw blood and run the test we need.”“Thanks, man.” W
Possible Trauma TriggersQuinn POVI knew that today in the cells wasn’t going to be fun, but to find out that Kyle’s uncle had been mated to a werewolf and that a group of guys had drugged, raped her and let him believe that she had been with them willingly. That was a lot. Meg and I were supposed to have a date tonight but I didn’t feel much like going out I just wanted to sit and hold her. I had linked her asking her to meet me in the room that Aunt Mona had given us so we had a spot to be alone. When I walked in, I found Meg lounging on the couch flipping through the channels and a spread of Chinese takeout on the coffee table. I walked over to her picked her up placed her in my lap nuzzled into her neck and deeply inhaled. Her beautiful coconut scent calmed me but it wasn’t enough to stop the tears. All that had been going through my head since I left the cells was that they could have done to my Angel the same thing that they had done to that other girl. I know it wouldn’t have
Possible Trauma TriggersKyle POVI decided to come to see my uncle alone today. Something is telling me that after what he found out the other day he isn’t going to give me a lot of problems. As I walk in I notice that Abby’s cell is empty. Good. I never did hear back anything about the blood work they did. I’ll have to remember to ask Quinn about it. I did ask about Dylan. I found out that he is one of four brothers or the Thatcher brothers as they are known around the pack. Dean is the oldest then there is Nolan, Dylan and Axel. I was told that Nolan has recently moved back here to the pack with his mate Cassy after finishing his schooling in psychology. The other three are warriors here in the pack. From what I have heard the whole family is well respected. I was really glad to hear that. Abby needs to see what a good supportive family is like. I think she’ll be happy. I notice that a lot of the cells seem to have been emptied. It is making me wonder how many of the ones working i
This is my second book based on some of the characters that were introduced in Twin Moon Curse. It is a stand-alone book but if you enjoyed the first I hope you will enjoy this one just as much. If you haven't read the first I hope you will check it out. Happy Reading. Quinn POV Ten years old “Meg, where are you? Come on we need to hurry up and get back.” I don’t know how I let her talk me into coming out here with her. Today is my first official training with Dad and Uncle Shane. It’s supposed to be the first time that they are going to let me start fighting against their wolves. Well not so much fighting as learning to defend myself. The fighting will come later. It's not going to look good if I'm late, but Meg just had to come out here now. The problem is that it’s been getting harder to say no to her. I mentioned it to Mom one day jokingly. I told her that Meg had been bugging me more about doing things with her and I didn’t know why. When I told Mom about not liking to say no
Quinn POV Fifteen years old Here I am traipsing through the woods looking for Meg, again. At least this time it is a better reason than she just wants to go for a walk. She has been doing that a lot lately, but she stopped asking me to go with her a couple of months ago. This time however it’s part of our tacker training. We have been doing this about twice a year for the last couple of years. Once in late fall, or early winter like now and then again in the late spring or early summer. Dad, Uncle Shane and Mac divide the group of ranked children into two teams. Reed, Levi and Meg make up one. Lucas, April and I make up the other this time, they switch it around each time. One group hides the other tracks them. It comes down to being one extreme game of hide ‘n’ seek. The catch is that if anyone from either team can get close enough to someone from the opposite team and deliver a fake death blow that person is out of the game putting one team at a disadvantage. In all the times that
Meg POVThe next day when I walked into the dining hall for breakfast Quinn was sitting with some of the warriors that he had been training with lately. He usually works with me and April after breakfast on Sundays to help us learn how to defend ourselves against larger males. I get my plate and make my way over the table that April is sitting at. “Morning, you ready to get your ass kicked again today?” I ask her as I set my plate down.“As ready as I am any other time, but Reed, Lucas and Levi will be our trainers today and from now on. With the help of your Dad.” April says popping a piece of fruit into her mouth.I looked up from my plate very confused by her statement. Quinn had been the one who had wanted us to do this training. Why didn’t he want to train us anymore? I looked across the hall to where Quinn was sitting and linked him. “Why are you not training us anymore?”He quickly glances at me and then turns away. “I just can’t. You need someone else to train you.”It almost s
Meg POVFifteen years oldWe have just finished our last bout of tracker training. We had packed up our supplies and Dad was carrying the last of the coolers to the truck. I mind-linked with Mom to let her know that I was going to spend some time out by the stream she asked me to be home in time to help with supper. I walked over to Dad to let him know what I was doing, hugged him and headed off deeper into the forest. I wanted to stay out here and read by the edge of the stream. There is a spot that has a bit of a waterfall. It’s not very tall but it makes a nice calming sound which relaxes me. I started coming out here near the end of last summer when I stopped asking Quinn to go for walks with me. I had already noticed then that his attitude had started to change towards me. I haven't been able to figure out why. It is a nice spot to get away to and not too far from where the wild strawberry patch is. When the time of year is right the breeze will carry the smell of the ripened berr
Quinn POV Fifteen almost sixteen-year-old As we packed up from the training session that we had just finished, I watched Meg mind-link someone, speak with her father, give him a hug and head into the woods. Where the hell is she going? Why are they letting her walk off into the woods alone? What if she gets hurt? Why the hell am I on the verge of panicking? I know she can take care of herself. Even though I have spent a good part of the last eight months trying to stay away from her. I have still watched her while she is training. I can't count the amount of times that I have had to hold myself back from running onto the field ready to pound whoever she was sparing with. I don't like to see her hurt. I know what I have been doing is hurting her. I just don’t know what else to do. She has had April asking why I was doing what I was doing. She had her brother and the twins ask too. I just wasn’t sure what to tell them all. There was no way I was going to try and explain to my sister t
