“ I really can’t understand the way that woman thinks, I mean it’s practically her fault that Vince turned out the way he is, even I know he’s a jerk and I have asked Roho in the past if she wants me to talk to him about leaving her alone and she declined-oww what was that for?”
“ For letting my baby girl suffer at the hands of a twerp”
“Did you not hear me say she declined the assistance?”
“It doesn’t matter, you could’ve done it without her knowing”
“As if the jerk wouldn’t have told her about it after, and perhaps that would have made things worse for her because it seems both him and Vinna thinks we play favourites when it comes to her so that would have just solidified their beliefs”
A thoughtful look crosses my mates face then she smiled “okay” was all she said as she separated herself from me and headed into the packhouse.
NEXT MORNING
Dawson
“This way please Dawson”
Rose ushers me along to the Lunas office and I knock “come in please” I push the door and enter “ahh Dawson good morning, please sit down” I take a seat and she comes to sit next to me smiling kindly, Gods am I in some sort of trouble “ you must be wondering what I called you here for” “yes my Luna, that’s correct” “before I answer that, did that Alpha or Beta see you come here?” “no, they didn’t” she smiled a Grinchy kind of smile again “marvellous, I have a job I’d like for you to do for me please, it’s uhh how should I put it, personal for me, you get what I mean don’t you?”
She obviously means I should not tell anyone about it “I understand Luna, but you must know I will never be able to lie to the Alpha or Beta” “ohh it’s fine if they find out and ask you but only after you’ve completed my task and not before, okay?” “I must say, you’re causing me great concern here Luna Bea”
She chuckled, “it’s nothing too hard, it’s right up your ally anyway which is why I am asking you to do this for me, there is this young man who was hurt yesterday and is now placed under house arrest, he’s not allowed any visitors but you my dear doctor Dawson are a doctor so you can go to see him for me and you must take great care of him for me”
I look at her quizzically, “if he’s hurt, why is he under house arrest and not at the hospital? What happened to him?”
“You’ve finally asked the right question Dawson!” she moved closer “you see dear Dawson, he disrespected me by hurting our baby girl and using derogatory words to her and even had the audacity to put his hands on her and slap her precious face”
Anger courses through me because I know very well who she refers to as her baby girl, my baby girl, I shot from my chair “he what?!” “exactly!” “I’m gonna kill the fker, who is it?!”
“Vince Tomas” my jaw ticks and I can feel my wolf fighting to take over to go rip that boy apart for putting his hand on my child “were they sparring?” “no, she was trying to get them to do their training and he was against it using the news of the Alpha King’s announcement as an excuse” “and he slapped her for it? Just like that?!” “just like that! And even had the audacity to tell her that the slap would knock her down a few pegs too”
I growl “I’m sorry Luna, I didn’t mean to growl like that here”
“Ohh it’s perfectly fine, now you do understand why I need you to take utmost care of him don’t you?” she smiles at me.
I calm down and smile back at her putting on my professionalism “I completely understand my Luna and I will not disappoint you with my care” “marvellous, be on your way then I’m sure there is much to do” I bow and practically race out of her office closing the door behind me.
I leave the pack house ensuring the Alpha and Beta does not see me as I go as the Luna does not want them to know what we’re up to.
I get to my office and request the medical records for Mr. Tomas and give them a review, I smile to myself ‘ it seems our pup handled the situation very well, broken fingers and ribs’ my wolf states as I examine the chart and x-rays, hmm I suppose this rib right here could do with a bit of realignment and it wouldn’t hurt to do a reassessment on those fingers too now would it.
I pack my medical bag and let my Assistant know I’d be out for a bit, I normally do house calls so it would not be strange for persons to see me walking about with my bag.
I'm still holding onto Beau and whatever it is, is still also holding to Beau trying to drag him further into the forbidden part of the forest "shit, I can't even grab hold of it, it's so damn strong" "why don't you try shifting" "I can't, I don't know why but I can't shift" “shit”I spot a tree with a low hanging branch coming up as we get dragged along, still not seeing what it is that’s dragging us, well Beau along. “Grab onto that branch right there, I’d let go of you and try to break you free from whatever then you can try to shift” he takes hold of the branch and I release him and quickly grab one of my knives and slash the thing that was on his foot, we hear a loud screech from deeper in but ignore it.“Why aren’t you shifting Beau, we gotta get out of here!” “agghh I can’t Red, my leg, I think it’s broken” I hadn’t realized that the tentacle was still wrapped around his leg, I help him stand “come on, we gotta try tog et out of here before that thing comes back, I’ll get that
We got off training in Four hours thanks to our group not being found during our training run but I am still pumped after the remaining training we received "what should we do now guys?" "how about we go for a run?" "okay" "what are you guys doing here?" it's a few of the other trainees from the day team "we got let off early" "bullshit, why? we were up at the crack of dawn and trained our full eight hours and you're telling me you got off early?""Yes, yes we did" the guy stepped closer to me, I suppose hoping to intimidate me "first of all back the hell up out of my personal space or I will make you" he jaw ticks and he takes three steps back "we got let off early because one of the teams went through the training in the forest without being caught" "you expect me to believe that?" "well you can ask anyone who is on the night shift as well as the instructors" I turn and leave pulling Beau, Joao and the others with me."I don't like you, you know" I call back "then it's a good thing
Gosh it's getting hot again, I try to focus on what the instructors are saying but it's proving to be quite difficult, then once again it fades away and I refocus my attention to what they're demonstrating. "Alright now you try, I know it will take you some time to get it but we want to see you do it and how well you handle it so we can work with you from there"I try copying what I saw him do, closing my eyes and using my hands to do the breathing mantra, I feel myself getting lighter, or perhaps light headed I really don't know "it would seem the night shift has the faster set of learners" I open my eyes and the instructors are looking at us with smiles "you all did very well, better than the day shift if I'm honest, but don't tell them I said that" we all chuckle."Alright one more time and this time be as still and quiet as possible" "hang on Harry, let's do this, seeing as you guys seem to think they're doing better than the others why not just go straight to the test hmm?" "let'
I remove the cover and my mouth waters, three baked potatoes with two pieces of steak, I can even pick her scent up from the plate and cutlery, I smile to myself ‘she thought of us Hunt’ ‘she probably thought of me, I mean she did buy a glasses with me in mind’ I can feel him wagging in my mind ‘oh be quiet’ he snickers and I begin to eat “Gods this is so damn good” I savour the food, eating as slowly as I possibly could because I did not want the meal to end, I do love the sauce on the steak.Never in my life have I eaten and licked the plate not once but four times, when she made the soup I kept the rest of it and had it twice after and now with this meal.I’m so full, I take the lift down rather the stairs to return the tray, Daisy is there eating, her back is turned as she speaks to another kitchen aid “even for me this steak is incredible and the sauce, try the sauce! I mean she used the ingredients from my kitchen, the same ingredients I use and made this”I place the tray down,
“I WISH YOU WOULD STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME ROHO!” he calls after me “GUESS YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO SPRINT THEN SIRE!!” I respond as I continue on laughing.A hand snakes around my waist and hoists me like a sack of potatoes, I look up and it’s him “you were saying dear?” “what the?” “language” he stops running and moves me from under his arm to holding me out like Rafiki and Simba and stares at me, I fold my hands clearly not amused and he bites his lip to prevent himself from laughing or smiling “so not funny! Put me down” “it’s a little funny!” “put me down, I’ll stomp on your toes” “say please, and what makes you think it’s okay to speak to your King like that little lady?”I am flabbergasted “I am not little! Please put me down before you make people see us like this, the last thing I need for people to think I earn favours from you or something” he obliges and put me down, still pouting with my arms folded glaring up at him, this time he covers his mouth with his hand and
“Well considering I am not an Alpha I would say so yes, you’re talking to the wrong person”“Well your Alpha is the one who said he had to call you to find out what’s what not us”“Give me that!”“What the heck Roro?!”“What? I mean it’s not like I asked them to follow me back Alpha, what are you mad at me for?”He sighs “what must I do with you young lady? Why did you help them in the first place, they’re rogues”I Pause for a bit “well Alpha, Rouges are people too and each person has their own story and reasons plus they don’t seem like a bad bunch!”“Okay, I will hear them out and decide from there, how is training?”“It’s not started as of yet, Beau, Joao and I are on the night shift team so tonight is our first day basically”“Okay then, is Joao nearby?”I swivel to look for him “Oh he’s uhh hmm well he was there a while ago, I’ll have to let him call you back Alpha”“No that’s fine Roro, you take care of yourselves alright?”“Okay, bye bye”“Bye”“Oh! Here he comes Alpha, hang o
