--- Ericson’s POV ---

I just followed behind everyone as I tried to think about all of this. Today was supposed to be the day we finally got reunited with her. I mean we did get to see her but passed out and banged up. That is not how I wanted to see her again.

I wanted to see her beautifully smile and hear her voice. Then talk about what kind of life she has had so far and if she was willing to go with us to meet someone. A person of great value and importance in her soul. Someone that can fill the void in her and give her answers to everything that was happening. Will not this.

This car accident was not a part of the plan. Why did it have to happen today of all days? That driver better hope we don’t get our hands on him. But what idiot drives in a vehicle to small for his built, let alone into a busy and confusing intersection like this one. Then again when that girl described the driver and then how Crispin reacted to whatever that Miguel was thinking about, gave me an idea of who i

    --- Merida’s POV ---Everything hurt and it was loud. I knew I was at a hospital or on the way, but I couldn't open my eyes. *Just rest girl, they will take care of us.* Nadia whispered to me, and I winced as someone stuck a needle in my arm and not because she was being loud. *Sorry girl, but please just relax. It won’t hurt as bad if you relax.* I don’t respond but just do as she says.After relaxing I noticed it got quieter around me and I could actually hear what was going on.“We need the CAT scan immediately and make sure all of those tests are put at the front of the queue. If anyone has any questions, send them to me. We need answers now. I will not be facing Mr. Solace without at least a plan how to treat her.” I believe it is my doctor barking orders and the nurses moving around me carrying them out. Though I was stuck on the ‘Mr. Solace’ as I don’t remember anyone by that name.Then a face appeared in my mind. I knew it was Nadia who brought it up, but I couldn't place wher

    “Lu that’s all nice but can you introduce me to our guests?” I ask her as soon as Adam returns with Larry and Sarah.“Oh yeah you were snoozing while we talked.” Lu explained as she approached Sarah. “This is Sarah Hawthrone and that’s her twin Crispin, and standing next to him is Mr. Solace. They were in the neighborhood when the accident happened.” Lucy motioned to Miguel, who walked back over to me. “They knew Miguel from some competition they all went to earlier in the year. They were looking at houses in the neighborhood and wanted to see how the atmosphere was like in the afternoon.I just nodded as if that really explained their presence. Just because there is a nicer and more expensive neighborhood down the street, for that’s where Miguel lives. I seriously doubt they were looking at those houses or thinking of moving into our section of the city.*You are correct girl. Cry would never want to be so close to humans as that vicinity is cramped and basically built on top of each

    ---Crispin’s POV--- As soon as everyone left, I was beside her and wiping her forehead with a tissue. I could hear Sarah snickering and just knew Ericson was rolling his eyes as he moved to the privacy curtain and pulled in to cover us all. I knew Sarah was sitting in the seat behind me, to keep me from sitting there, not like I was. I just sat on her bed facing her. “Ok blockhead move. I want to see her as well as talk with her.” Sarah demanded as she jabbed me in the back continuously. If it was anyone else, I would have punched them, but she had earned her place in my heart, and I did care about her. For that I moved back so she could slide the chair closer, but I never let go of Meri’s hand. Yes, it was her left hand that was bandaged, but I wasn’t worried about hurting her. Earlier when we were waiting to see her and while the nurses were distracted, I had sneaked into her room. It was hard to see her in that state but not new for me, I just mov

    ---Merida’s POV---To say my world exploded was an understatement, for I still had questions and just could feel that there was more to come. They were being gentle with me and careful of what they said. Then again it helped with explaining Nadia.She refused to explain what she was to me. The first time I felt her in my head, I thought I was going crazy or that I had schizophrenia. Then the first time she acted on my behalf I knew she was more than just a voice. It never hurt or felt scary when she came forward. It should have or at least I should have been unaware of her actions but no it just felt like a sister was stepping up for me. The craziest part is that I thought she might be my wolf, like I was a shapeshifter and she, my wolf. That she denied profusely and then proved.How did she prove it? Quiet easily. She pointed out a werewolf to me and then admitted to that person that she knew what they were. Their reaction was proof that I wasn’t a werewolf and that things existence i

    It’s been over a year since she started annoying me with her rude comments and dark presence. Last year I did everything to shut her out or to get rid of her from my mind. But today, now in this moment I feel lost. Without her pushing me or taking action for me, how am I going to move forward? I even want to hear her curse again.The first time she showed up, she had a really dirty mouth and had a crude way of thinking. That’s why I thought I had a splint personality or crude wolf. It took a while for her to cool it with the curse words till now where she rarely curses. Though she always has opinions but at least now she knows to kept it to herself unless I ask her.I tried to keep this to myself, to keep quiet, but I couldn't. I started crying and not the loud wailing, bubbling crying. But the quiet, slow gasps for breath with tears running down my checks sobs as I called to her. *Nadia! Please Nadia.* I hid my face in Sarah’s shoulder and pleaded again and again for Nadia to answer.

    ---Ericson’s POV---“So Mr. Solace…” Maeva started but stopped when I waved her to stop.“Maeva please call me Eric. I think we can agree that we want the something. And that is what is best for Merida right?” I say as we round the corner from Merida’s room, and I see someone coming toward us. “Theresa are you free?” I ask as we stop her before she steps into a room.“Oh Mr. Solace is Merida in need of something?” she asks stepping up to us.“Well not her, but Crispin is in desperate need of clothes. Anything will do for the moment.” Maeva explains as she gestures for her to lean in close. I don’t move, so as a show that I’ll give them privacy but in truth I can still hear them. “His clothes got damaged in the scuffle with Mr. Cogswell.”“Wait that bastard actually showed up here?” She gasps as she looks around.“I had the security escort him out and I told Dr. Young to move her to another section of the hospital and not let him back in, at all.” I explained stepping close to them.“Th

    ---Merida’s POV---Theresa stayed for a short while and we chatted. I think it was to distract me as Sarah helped Crispin. She ripped his jeans off which caused him to fall to his butt. It was really funny as she yelled at him, once again calling him numskull or blockhead, as he squeaked at her to stop and just give him the clothes as he ran to the bathroom.“Are they always this crazy?” Theresa sighed as they continued to fight over the clothes only now through the bathroom door. Sarah was trying to keep the door open and Crispin was trying to get it closed and snatch one of the bag of pj’s at the same time.“I really can’t say, I just met them yesterday,” I said without thinking. Her whiplash scared me until I realized my words. “They are friends with Miguel and were just in the area.” I blurted out. I really need to talk with them more and get my answers. I really don’t know how to explain them.“Ok well on that note I have things to do to get you transferred to a new room.” She sa

I see him tense and shift as he growls. Whatever she thought wasn’t good. “Meri please tell me the truth. Not what you tell everyone else.”“My parents said it would corrupt my testimony and that if I still wanted to, I needed to lie.” She said softly but everyone heard.“Meri no that’s false.” Theresa started to reach for her, but Meri tensed again, so she just smoothed the sheets on her knees.“Sweetie pie Theresa is right.” Mrs. Lopez confirmed and then added, “How are you sleeping?” just as Meri lifted her head she clarified, “Don’t you lie to me.”“I sleep between 4 to maybe 6 hours. But that’s a..after I..I finish m..my” Meri starts’ only for Crispin to wave his hand.

I just shrug my shoulders at him and turn back to the stove. Placing lids on everything as I turn the heat off, so nothing burns as everyone tastes our dishes. “Hey, you guys! Are you done yet? I’m hungry!” Ma yells as she strolls into the kitchen. Turning around I see James placing his last plate in the window. “I just have to put the rest in the oven but yeah, I think we’re done.

I know my girl is worried about all the people who got hurt and are still recovering but none of this is her fault. Nor can they demand her to pay or step forward. For the real person they want is me or the version of me they remember. Everyone always thinks that I’m all about causing pain and chaos. Though yes, I do like doing that but on my terms not on someone else’s. Plus, I have strict rules about who gets hurt and how much. Everything that has been going on is just plain rude. They are causing unnecessary harm and pain with no real goal in sight. For what right do they have to demand my presence or that of my Girl. She just got out of that hell hole and now she is about to face her first obstacle of this life. That scumbag! Tim deserves to rot in a hole with bugs crawling all over him. I really wish I could get 5 minutes with him. I really would show him true pain

    ---Ericson’s POV--- Sighing in relief as I crossed the threshold of the house, I paused as I sensed where everyone was. The guards and staff were mostly in their places but acting weird. Even my son was acting weird. As he was pacing outside the study where everyone else was. I’m not sure what they are discussing but I could feel the tense all the way here. Though I really wanted to just get a drink and forget this day I needed to talk with the King. For that alpha of the Moonlight River pack is going to be a problem. I really can’t believe everything he said to me or even requested. He really acted like the rogues are targeting his pack and aiming to kill off all his members. The Cresent Luna has had more fatalities, and their members had to leave their daily lives behind and hide in emergency housing for the past month. We are just lucky that most of them work for shifters businesses and that all the warriors are willing to assist in getting all t

    Swallowing down the saliva that suddenly spawned in my mouth, I cleared my throat before explaining myself, “I have been practicing how to put up a block for the past month, but the nightmares have been going on for the past year or so…” “Ever since I left!” Jenn added as she moved to the sit next to me. Grabbing my hand, she squeezed it. I can see she wants to apologize, but it’s not her fault and plus I needed to learn how to deal with them. Mi sits back down but across from me and reaches across the table to add his hand to ours. His touch gives me strength so I can continue talking. “Jenn, I don’t remember what it was like before you came into my life, but I don’t wake up in a fit or screaming or crying. I just slept through them and woke up the next day wondering about them. I know they aren’t all the same, but they really don’t scare me. It’s like they are a film I am remembering but not completely getting.” I said as I squeezed her hand back

    ---Merida’s POV--- Sitting there I just watched as Mi bounced his head on the table, I just worked on Jenn’s words. It was more than I thought. I had learned that shifters tend to run in packs as a way to strengthen themselves and protect their loved ones. Though if a trouble shifter causes issues in the pack, then they are kicked out and left to wander alone. Thus, making them rogues and any person that follows them. So, a promise of a new pack, where they are forgiven is too much to turn down, even a condition like causing panic in another. But then again would they go so far as to kill shifters just to join a new pack that hasn’t been established. *Wait has the pack even been formed?* “Jenn where is this pack set to be established?” I asked, causing everyone to halt in their movement and stare at me. “I’m sorry but no new pack has been recognized in this area and with my dad here. Won’t the leader or alpha have to approach my dad to b

But I can say we got into a routine that worked better than before. I know Mr. Bell has a lot of knowledge and experience when assisting someone with understanding their powers or teaching others of our world but Meri is not like anyone. I can’t explain but Meri does understand everything she learns but she still questions as if the knowledge she has is different than what she learned. Not that she remembers what she knows. But I am happy that I can openly help Meri now and not sneak behind everyone’s back. As Mr. Bell didn’t want to overwhelm her and thought one on one would be good for her. As well as judge what abilities she had and see about getting them under control. I wasn’t sure if any had surfaced but then again Nadia was present in her head. And we didn’t want her to get control or act out any more than she

Helping me to a sitting position, my sister falls into my lap as she cries onto my shoulder. Oh, shit she saw uncle hitting me, I have been hiding that for years. I don’t want her to lose all connections to our parents like I have. “Anneliesa I’m ok! Remember your sister is strong.” I smiled at her as she looked to me. “Now dry those tears and say hello to our guest.” I say as I waved at my dream angel and introduced myself. “I’m Nixie Klein and this is Anneliesa Klein. Sorry about all this but welcome to our adobe.” I said, getting to my feet and looking around. Stepping back as I took in the disarray, I was astonished to see the magistrate, my uncle as well as Mr. Boem and his son being restrained.

    “Wait I knew what that is!” I say after a moment. “Armed Ladies are the ladies that serve princesses or the council females. They serve both as guards and advisors, as well as representative for their lady when she is unable to be present.” After speaking a thought hit me. “But I am neither a princess nor a council female, so how can I have Armed Ladies. Plus, I have many questions about the Armed Guard as well.” “Well technically yes you are neither but don’t forget that Armed Ladies can be appointed if a lady has proven to be exceptional. Then again given your inexperience in our world and that it has yet to be proven your standing, it is not unheard for Armed Ladies to be appointed to you. Though they are Armed Ladies of established Ladies, not first timers.” Jen answers as she perches on the last sofa. “And I would love to be appointed but we need a Council Elder to sign off and not just the Kings.” “If I can become an Armed Lady and I can stay

He told me how bored he was just walking the perimeter and that his partner Greg was too strict. “Sorry dad but Leo looked so fluffy and cute. Please he was pleading for a belly rub!” I said as I looked at my dad. He just smiled at me and patted my back. “OK sweetie I understand but let’s not pet Leo while he is working. I can ask Greg to stop by after his shift and give you time with Leo away from the others. But please don’t do that or show that you understand our War cats or others might see it as a weakness.” my dad says as he pulls me in for a hug. “Can you explain what a War cat is? I understand that Leo is one, but how is he any different from a lion?” I asked as we walked back to the house. “Yeah, I’m curious too! Though I wish I could join Meri in
