Leon POV For the next few hours, I just get a feeling of unease and can’t seem to focus. I got up and walked over to gaze out of my window until I feel the link from Aleister again. “Leon, the girl, I think she’s a wolf but hasn’t shifted. I can’t smell which pack she would be from, and she doesn’t smell like a rogue. What do I do?” Shit, if she’s not alone or a runaway she could lead others here. “Just follow her a bit longer. If she turns towards the forest drive her out. The last thing we need is more unknown wolves trying to get on to our territory.” I snapped, feeling like shit right after as I felt him cut the link. Crap, I hope he doesn’t think I’m annoyed at him. I paced in my office for what seemed like hours waiting on Aleister giving me an update. “He is smart and strong. Don’t worry about him. We have trained him well.” My wolf Khaos reminded me. I’ll just sit down and get some more plans started, I thought but quickly a link opened with Aleister who was shouting in
Leon POV “Come in.” I grunted, followed by Eric popping his head through the door slowly as if he was expecting me to throw something. “What has your thong up your ass dear Alpha?” he joked, grinning until he noticed the look in my eye. Clearing his throat, he stepped into the door and set something on the floor. “Seriously, what has happening Leon?” I looked at him a few minutes before looking to Aleister and he followed my eyes. Aleister was just staring into the beer bottle as if waiting on a genie coming out to grant him wishes. “Is he okay? Is this about the girl you mindlinked to find?” he asked I was about to speak when Aleister threw his bottle across the room. “She was a wolf. She just didn’t know it. I should have seen the signs in her eyes. If I had of taken my time, spoken to her gently, she wouldn’t have run. She could have discovered who she was.” Eric looked at him and then to me. 'This has really gotten to him, hasn’t it?’ Eric mindlinked me, and I gave him a nod.
Leon POV I opened a mind link to Aleister. “Al, did you leave a backpack in my office?” “I left it in the hall, I think Eric left it by your door, I told you I grabbed the girls things. I figured we might find out who she is. I seen it sitting at the door of your office when I left.” He said agitated, when I remembered he said something about it before Eric came in. “Right, sorry. I forgot. I saw this bag and didn’t know where it came from. I’ll check it and let you know in the morning if I find anything. Get some rest” I cut the link and made my way over to the bag. Khaos was acting weird, pacing in my head. “What is with you?” I asked annoyed. ‘I don’t know Leon. Something is off here but I don’t know what it is.’ I lifted the bag and was hit again with the sweet scent. I opened her bag to find a few items of clothing, not much, some rolled up cash, again not much and a few books. I was so lost in the sweet scent that, before I knew what was going on, I realised Khaos had ta
Juvia POV Hearing the sound of machines beeping, I started to realise I was no longer on the road watching the stars overhead. I tried to move but it hurt me all over to do so. Opening my eyes slowly, I was blinded by a white glowing surrounding. “I’m in the hospital?” I questioned with a raspy voice. “Oh sweetheart, your awake. It was so touch and go for a while we didn’t know if you were going to wake up.” I looked over to see an elderly nurse looking at a chart. “Would you like a drink of water?” she asked sweetly. I nodded and she made her way to the hall and came back with a cup of water and a straw. “Sip it, dear. You have been out for a full week. You were in a very nasty car accident, but you pulled through, thank the heavens, and you seem to be healing extremely well. You have a fractured skull, a broken wrist, a fractured ankle and a few broken ribs. One rib punctured one of your lungs but your surgery obviously went well, and it was repaired.” As I listened to her, I
Juvia POV I jumped up and looked around. There was nobody there. It was the same voice I remember from the forest. ‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you’ “Who is there? Who are you?” I shouted into my empty room and when I got no reply, I grabbed the button to call the nurse who came rushing in. “What's wrong?” This nurse wasn’t like the one who was in this morning. This middle-aged woman with dark brown hair and a long nose looked like she would rather stab me than help me so she could be a quiet night. “There is someone in my room” I shouted out panicked. “Someone is here. She spoke to me a moment ago. Someone is in here.” The nurse looked at me as if I had stolen her kid and threw it into traffic. She walked over to the bathroom and checked behind all the curtains. “Miss Simone, there isn’t anyone else here. Go to sleep before I have a nurse give you a sedative” she said in a tone of annoyance. ‘She can’t see me, not unless you shift, and I wouldn’t do that here. You’ll likely
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Rang out over the crowd of people. He looked around, his tail wagging. Walking over to him I patted his head. “Happy birthday kiddo. Go get changed and come join your party.” We heard a crash as Liam fell through the tree line. “And here folks we have the loser!” I laughed along with the others. The boys went to get changed and I started to mingle with guest. It was a nice afternoon and there was plenty of drinks consumed into the evening. Everyone seemed to be having fun and dancing Aleister was flicking between people and it looked like he was having a good time. As the night continued though, I could not stop thinking about the girl in the hospital, but my thoughts were cut short by an unease in my stomach and a smell in the air. I walked over to Eric. The look on his face, he could feel it too. An all-mighty song of howls rang though the sky causing us to look around. “What the fuck was that?” Eric shouted. “What is going on, East side patrol?” I linked
Leon POV “She’s awake? When? Has she said anything?” I blurted out without thinking. He paused for a moment before continuing. “No. She woke up not long ago. I’m not sure what happened but she proper freaked out for a while. I heard the doctor tell her about her injuries and I heard some of the nurses talking. She was hit with a massive amount of force by the car. She is definitely a wolf; a human would have died on impact.” I detected a hint of sorrow in his voice. “There is something though. The doctor did confirm she’s in foster care and she does have foster parents, but again nobody has visited her.” His voice came across soft, as if he also felt sorry for her. “That may be why we weren’t allowed any information on her. She must still be under 18. Thank you. Stay a little bit longer and find out what you can.” “Yes, Alpha. How is the situation over there? Was there many injured?” “I’m just about to head back to the hospital then to the pack house. I will update you when I f
Juvia POV Waking up, I got flash backs. That bitch of a nurse put me out. 'She's lucky I didn't rip her throat out.' The voice from before spoke again, making me jump and then sigh. 'Ugh, you're still talking huh? So I'm still crazy.' I thought in a sarcastic tone. 'How wonderful'. 'I told you, you're not crazy. I'm your wolf, Alice.' She replied to me. Before I got a chance to reply to the voice in my head, to prove I was more crazy by actually talking back, the sweet nurse from when I first woke up came in with a tray. “Oh my dear. I heard you had a bit of a night. Are you doing better this morning?” She asked. She was lovely. I liked having her around. “My name is Dotty, by the way sweetie. I'm the morning nurse here in the hospital. If you need me just ring that little buzzer on your bed and I'll come running.” She told me sweetly. “Thank you Dotty. Can you tell me when I might be getting home?” I asked. I've no plans on going back to live in that house with Flo and Winston.
