“All I know is that what we just witnessed is a very disturbing symptom of something very dangerous. He’s not faking the situation he’s in and his apology was sincere. It’s going to btake /btime to figure out and, just like Cole, time is not a luxury Lucas has.”

    He looks sadly towards the woods.

    “Are you really talking about sending him away to Wolfington?”

    Alpha Damian seems quite concerned with the idea.

    “It has been mentioned a few times as the option ofst resort. The third time Julie said something is when he attacked her forcing me to stop his therapy sessions.”

    Everyone remains silent as the delta giving us a ride walks over.

    “I can see how hard this is for everyone but if the two gentlemen are still nning to leave then we need to get on the road. It’s an eight to ten hour drive from here back to White Ridge.” Delta Ashman interjects briefly.

    “I’m sorry, things aren’t going as we had nned.” He nods before walking back over to the

    vanb. /b

    “It’s yourst chance Cole. No one here wants you to leave. It’s important that you understand the sincerity of Lucas’s statement. We didn’t ask him toe out here to see you off. We told him of the time and date so he could choose. It was important to him to apologize and he

    asked for my help in doing so.”

    I nod slowly shocked at the turn of events that I’m seeing.

    “I don’t expect any of you to understand as I don’t truly understand myself but there is something on my dad’sputer that I must find. While I obviously have seen it before, only my wolf seems to understand the significance and is insisting that we return to find it and save it to myputer. I’m hoping that I can find it quickly and get the hell out of there by the end of the year. It will be difficult for me to do and I’ll likely return physically and mentally worse than I am now, but I will returnb./bb” /b

    “Have you figured out how to link or channel with Jessa?” Alpha asks, the sadness in his voice

    is difficult to hear.

    “We’ve been trying but it hasn’t happened yet. I will keep trying though.” Jessa exins as she hugs me tighter. I press my lips gently upon her forehead, lingering there as I struggle to let

    her bgo/bb. /b

    “Cole,” she speaks softly. “I have something for you. Hopefully you don’t lose it when byou /bbget /bhome but I’ve been sleeping with it for the past month. It should keep my scent for a while bif /byou don’t wash it.”

    She runs back to the car leaving me alone with the rest of the family.

    “Are you sure this is what you need?”

    Jamie has finally made it over to the rest of the group still holding Mica. Her eyes are red from crying as she holds him tightly.

    “If you wish to stay and seek sanctuary, I understand.”

    “No. I’ve told you every time you have begged me to stop helping you that I won’t abandon you. I have called you ‘my alpha‘ too many times to remember. I’m ashamed to admit that I have refused to recognize my own feelings, my unwavering loyalty to you and only you until my nightmares started up after the brawl. There’s only a few people that you have established a link to and there’s no way you can get out alone, My hell will end when you leave. If you stay here, then I will stay but if you’re still leaving. So am I.b” /b

    I look to the ground before looking up, into his eyes.

    “Thank you. As much as I despise the alpha title, to hear you call me your alpha means more than I could ever tell you.b” /b

    “I’m sorry I’ve never told you to your face. It’s always been in passing when talking to my family or to Olivia. I didn’t understand why I feel the way I do until my meeting with Alpha ck. What I don’t understand is how can I be his fated beta when I’m a delta?”

    He asks the question we both want to know.

    “Alpha Redmen doesn’t honor the moon goddess’s ranking. Instead of testing your gics and treating you based on the rank you are born with he assigns you a rank. What it’s based off of, I don’t know, but I can tell you that based on your aura and the size of your wolf, you are a beta. When you and your family get here, all of you will undergo a physical and a battery of blood tests. While nothing immediately rming stood out in the panels taken in February I will be going over them more closely in the weeks toe. In general any person or family brought into my pack seeking sanctuary is tested for everything. Nutritional deficiencies, silver and wolfsbane exposure and gic rank are my main priorities with all transfers.”

    “You’re going to test Jerry and the girls for silver exposure?” He asks in disbelief.

    Alpha’s exnation seems to have left him speechless.

    “Unfortunately it does seem that our time together hase to an end. If you’re going bto /bstick to leaving, now may be the best time.”

    I nod my head as Alpha Damian reaches his hand out. I take it gently in mine, frozen as to

    what to do.

    “You wille back.b” /bHe states and all I can manage is to look up at his face.
