Chapter 169

The first time I heard my wolf since coming to the hospital made me almost fall out of my bed.
Oh my sweet girl, there you are, I’ve been trying to talk to you for days. I was lost in a kind of foggy
haze for a really long time. I’m not really sure what happened.
We were attacked. That’s what happened. Kaley got to us right before the Mating Ball. How much
do you remember before you disappeared?
I remember being in the locker room and you were being chickensh*t about going to this dance with
the boys, and I remember heading towards the door.
That’s the last thing that I remember.
Did you scent anyone before you disappeared? You don’t remember detecting anybody coming
anywhere near us? That’s one thing that we are really good at and I can’t figure out how we missed
it. Neither of us had any warning.
No, I didn’t scent anyone coming near us. That’s why I was taken off guard.
That’s what I figured. Doc Sylvia is going to have a field day with that information. Somehow
somebody has been moving around our pack masking their scent. I think that’s how the first threat
was able to leave those Luna’s fingers and nobody was able to figure out who it was. And I think
that’s what happened every time I got jumped in the hallway, I never saw it coming. I never thought
of it until now but that’s the only way that I would have been attacked and not been able to at least
react.
I think you’re right my dear girl, you’re going to have to fill me in on what has been going on for the
last…
how long have I been out?
I filled my wolf in on everything that had happened since the day in the locker room. I can’t believe
it’s been almost a month already. She was appalled by what had happened to us and the few things
that I can remember. She is very amused by Sierra’s parents and keeps trying to push me to talk
more about Kaley and everything that has happened with them, saying they would understand and
just listen. She also said it would help them with healing me to know all the details of all of my
attacks. I wasn’t buying it and told her the same thing I told Warrior Osiston, Kaley isn’t worth the
irritation of bringing her up over and over again.
Warrior Osiston and Alpha King Reggie both came in to talk to me two days after she came back
and started having conversations with me about what happens next.
“Little One, you certainly know how to put on a show, I know you wanted to be in the Elite Warrior
training.
I just didn’t know how badly you really wanted it.”
Alpha King Reggie tries to make a joke. I could only give him a half smile, it’s still too soon for any of
that.
“I’ll keep that in mind for next time.“ I smile at him.
“Are you up for a little tour? I would love to show you around this portion of my territory before we
get you settled into the training compound. Then you will be starting training immediately tomorrow
morning.”
“I would love that! I can’t wait to get started. being locked up in this little tiny room for 3 weeks has
been torture!” | sit up excitedly.
“You have a long list of things that qualify as torture, Little One.”
“I think that joke might be a little too soon, Warrior Brogen.” Alpha Reggie tries to scold him, even
though he made his own joke not a minute ago. | “Well she’s going to have to get used to it, those
kinds of jokes are never going to go away and she’s going to get sick of them very quickly! None of
our warriors are going to give you any slack because you are younger, and they have been made
aware of the basics of your particular situation. Just be ready.”
“Yes, sir.” Oh, goody, I am already the freak of the warriors, this should be interesting.
Doc Sylvia got me all checked out and told me she would be dropping by the training compound to
check in on me and to continue to take samples as | get stronger. I didn’t have many belongings
since they cut off all my clothes to tend to my injures.
I packed up the few outfits Sierra had brought me ina small bag and followed Alpha Reggie and
Warrior Osiston out of the hospital. The Alpha King’s territory was amazing. The minute we walked
out of the hospital it was like stepping into an old time fantasy wonderland. I didn’t even imagine this
when he was describing it to me when we were talking about all of the different ways to protect his
pack.
