We all sat in silence for what seemed forever, in reality it was more like ten minutes. Just soaking in all this information. I have an uncle. Supposably, he is on my side and wants to help me. Help me win a war I still don’t know much about. What I do know is how hard it will be to win this.
I have Wyatt’s concern, anger and confusion hitting me in the face. Then there is Kelly, who is excited, I assume from meeting her mate, scared and nervous. Finally, Reed who is feeling pissed, aroused and concerned. I do NOT want to venter down those feelings. I really got to work on keeping everyone else’s emotions away from mine. I am not even sure what I am feeling. Are these emotions mine or would I feel differently if I was alone? How am I supposed to keep everything separate?
“Nina, I…” Wyatt started talking
“No, stop. I need quiet for a few more minutes.” Getting up, and moving to the couch, I laid down and covered my face with pillow. Quiet and darkness. I could

Sighing, I moved to the couch and sat down. I can do this. I was born for this. I spent my life training and preparing for this moment, evening if I was unaware of it. My dad must have known this was going to happen soon or later. All those hours of him grilling and pushing me to my limit has lead me to this moment. ‘One day, Nina, you will see how all this is worth it. You will need to control your emotions and do what is right. Dig deep and get back up!’ he yelled at me as I took another hit and was ready to give up. We were training in the forest again. I was about 7 or 8 years old and dad was teaching me to stand tall but belittling me outfit. I couldn’t take what he said about my pretty shirt so I ran to him and he pushed me down. I had tears down my face and mud on my new shirt. Knocking at the door brought me out of my memories. Kelly peaked her head in. “Can I come in?” She asked nervously “Yeah, I am just mentally preparing myself for this.”
I watched as all 5 men stood and nodded at Wyatt and Reed. The left the room without saying a word. Reed followed them out and showed them the front door. I just sat there in silence not sure what to say or do. I almost felt numb by it all. Wyatt pulled the chair out beside me and sat down. Gripping my chair, he rotated it in one forceful motion so I was looking straight at him. He pulled the chair close to him. This caused my knees to be touching his chair as his legs were spread apart. “We will not let them have you! You are safe here and we will protect you!” Wyatt declared as either hand was holding my face. Reed walked in and slammed the door shut. I turned to look at him as he punched a hole in the wall. “We have one week to prepare for them. We need to get ahead of these accusations. Damage control. We can’t lose allies, if they believe she is actually guilty then they will side against us.” Reed said as he gripped the chair. Blood was dripping down hi
“Here man” Reed said as he handed me a glass of whiskey on the rocks. I had just gotten to his office from making sure Nina was comfortable and Kelly knew what she was suppose to do. “Fuck dude” I said as I took a gulp and sat back on the couch. “Are we going to have to conference here?” “No, we need a neutral place. I was hoping we could use your stadium?” Hmm, that’s an idea. “It’s what 3 hours from here? It is vacant currently since we haven’t finished building it yet.” I was expanding my business venues and one of them was an event stadium. My pack was growing and I was thinking about having a sister pack. I had purchased around ten thousand acers of land. It was close to the Tennessee- Alabama boarder. “I have already made phone calls and let my allies know what is happening and they all extended their support. Well, that was before the council decided to pull this.” “Are they really being investigated for those crimes?” “I have n
Nina POV I was so nervous. I had no choice but to be successful. The Sabrina, the Moon Goddess, appeared to me while I was changing to help get my mind off the pain. I was able to block Wyatt from feeling what I was feeling and send him comforting emotions. Sabrina told me I had one other power that no other person has ever had in our existence. I had to keep it a secret until the moment was right. Even from Grant. She verified Grant is who is said he was and told me to trust him. Why I shouldn’t show my most powerful power was beyond me but I fully trusted her. She briefly told me that I needed to do this journey to the council by myself. If anyone came with me, we would fail. I would have to present myself for questioning, and by questioning, she meant torture. Sabrina said they will do some heinous things but I must prevail in order to get the information to bring down the council and Devin himself. Wyatt must never know of that line of questioning till after. If
The next morning, we got up and got dressed ready to start our day. The mood was a somber one as neither of us really spoke or said anything of importance. It was like Wyatt was distancing himself from me but in reality, he just didn’t know how to process these emotions. I understood it though. If it was the other way around, I am not sure I wouldn’t lock him in a room and force him to stay. I knew he was going to feel everything that happened to me. I knew I could block emotions from him but I don’t know about physical pain. Reed, Wyatt, Kelly and I sat in the kitchen eating our breakfast. Reed and Kelly were being very touchy and already in love. I saw them supporting a new marking on their necks and I knew they completely the mating process. “Congratulations!” I said as I grinned from ear to ear Kelly did the obligatory pulling hair to the side so I could see her mark. It was beautiful black and blue marking of a moon and stars. It fit her perfectly.
Grant walked over to Wyatt and started whispering to him. I saw Reed’s eyes go black and his stance get really rigid. I don’t think I am going to like what is going to happen. I kept going over in my head about all the control my dad taught me. I needed to focus, have a game plan. I don’t know how many times I tasted my own blood and tears as my dad beat control into me. But when the emotion gets in, I am a goner. It rises up to the service and just explodes. Like when I blasted Wyatt or when I blasted the door open. It took me a solid two weeks of being held captive before I got fed up and did that. Grant and Wyatt came over to me, I could see how pissed off Wyatt was. Glancing back as Reed, he sat down in a chair with this head in his hands, looking at the ground. His elbows were resting on his knees. I looked into his emotions and he was pissed off, scared and worried. Oh man, I am really not going to like this. Looking at Wyatt, he was feeling pissed off, worried
Walking into the kitchen, the staff had an amazing spread for us. Along the middle of the stable was different pastas, garlic bread, salad and veggies. Everything was steaming and made my mouth water just looking at it. I decided to go with my favorite, Garlic Buttery Shrimp Linguine with 2 garlic bread rolls. I saw Grant chose Manicotti with one garlic great and a bowl of salad that he topped with ranch and croutons. We ate in silence. As I heard the crunch of his croutons, I couldn’t help but to think of what his life must have been like. Why didn’t he come into my life sooner? Did he even know about me? Did my dad and him not get along? I had like a thousand things I wanted to ask him but I was trying to be patient and let the man eat. “If you don’t stop bouncing your leg…” Grant said as he smiled at me I didn’t realize how nervous I was getting as my body was literally bouncing with it. “Sorry! I just have so many questions” I said as I sighed and forced
It was getting late so I decided to head to bed. Grant was saying his goodbyes and talking over final strategies with Reed. I started to feel Wyatt’s absence and wanted to make things right with him. I know on some level he truly did mean what he said. Otherwise, I would have been able to tell straight off if it was a lie. However, he didn’t mean it maliciously. He has only known me for a month now or so. I felt like I needed to give him the benefit of the doubt and make things right. Walking into our bedroom, I saw him hunched over in a chair, elbows on his knees and his head hung. I let his emotions flow over me. Sorrow, worry with a lot of regret. Frowning, “Wyatt?” I said softly. I knew with his wolf ears he would have heard me. Slowly, he picked his head up and looked at me. His face looked haunted. “I am so sorry Nina.” He said with so much sorrow in his voice. I walked up to him and pushed him back in the chair and straddled him. He placed his hands on
