Chapter 164

Possible Trauma Triggers

Lucas POV

It’s been a week now since we brought Heather home. Most of her physical injuries have healed, but she still hasn’t woken up. She had two bruised ribs and one cracked one. Her jaw had been dislocated, and a small fracture of her eye socket. The worst was that from what Dr. Beal said it looked like she was sexually assaulted, but he’s not sure to what extent. Not that it will matter when it comes to mental trauma.

Dad had played us the recording he had made of Keegan muttering in his cell. If I hadn’t grown up with him, I would have thought it was an act. It sounded as if he was arguing with someone. It wasn't the same as when I or others that I know have had disagreements with our wolves. It was weird to listen to, very strange. As Dad said, Keegan had never shown the type of natural leadership that some Alphas do, but he did show promise. He had never shown any tendencies to be cruel or cold like he had been when he was first placed in the cells.
