KESKA: “Liam, pack duties await.” I say, he nods, and heads out back to the bikes. I turn to the rest of us. “I want to get just a few groceries for them.” I whisper to them. They nod, and we head out to Nana’s to get the car to head into our shopping district. I link Nana. *“Nana, I am coming to get the car, I have a bit of shopping I need to do.” “Do you need Stephen?” “No, Trever and Dutch are here with us.” “Alright, dear, just be careful, and drive safe.”* I close the link, get the keys from the hiding place in the garage, get the car, and head out for our day. I drive to the grocery store, I pick up eggs, milk, bread, cheese, and the camping set of salt and pepper. I pay for the items, head back to the car, and have Mackie drive back. We get the car parked back at Nana’s. I leave everything in the cold bag and pack that in the backpack, then we head over to the woods in a leisurely manner, in case anyone is watching us, it looks as if we are just going to take a hike in the woods. I sign to them that I don’t want to shift today and just walk. We get farther into the woods, and I make sure that I have Trever’s attention, and I begin to sign to him. (“Mackie and I have a blood oath.”) “What!” he exclaims out loud. This is why I waited until we were a bit deeper into the woods. I stopped walking and looked at him. “Sshh” I shush him. I then hold out my hand and show him the scar at the base of my thumb. (“This is what Liam and I were talking about; he wants to do it too.”) (“How is it possible that the two of you were able to do this?”) He signs back. (“We are in the same pack, so we both answer to my father, but she answers to me first, then father, and as we both get ignored, it was easy.”) I sign to him. (“But Liam doesn’t get ignored, so it won’t be so easy with him, but he is insisting.”) I sign. (“Wait, what do you mean, Liam wants to do it too?”) Mackie signs to me. (“He got curious when I got stabbed, why you knew first and nobody else did.”) I sign. (“So, I told him he promised to keep it secret, but he is insisting on joining us.”) I sign. I hear voices in the distance, and I stop to listen. The others stop to listen as well. I then take off at a dead run, I need to get to the cabin before anyone realizes someone is there. The rest of the group started running with me. We make it to the cabin, and I knock “Ailea.” I call softly. She opens the door a crack and sees that it’s me and lets us in. “How are you doing?” I asked her, she seems a bit calmer today than she was yesterday. She just gives me a small smile and nods. “Do you think that you can tell me what happened?” I asked her. I hand her the backpack and let her put the things away that I bought her. She sets the pack on the table and pulls everything out. Then busies herself with putting things in the fridge. Then, with a sigh, she sits at the table and looks at me. “The person that was traveling with me was a dear friend, we grew up together, when I was raped he was the only one that stuck by me.” She says softly. “We left our pack because the Alpha didn’t believe that his Gamma’s third born would rape me, but he was obsessed with me, why I don’t know, I never talked to him, he was ranked, I am just an omega, I worked in a laundry, helping with the drycleaning, so it’s not like our paths crossed.” She says with tears in her eyes. “Who were the men who were surrounding you?” Trever asked her softly. “Chad’s goons.” “What pack are you from?” I asked her. “Stone Claw.” She whispers. Just then, we hear the voices from earlier. I get up, “Stay here.” I say to her and head to the door. I open it and see 4 warriors walking towards the cabin. I leave the door just slightly ajar, in case I need to make a hasty entrance back inside or the guys need to come out. All of a sudden, I hear one of them say mate and head straight for the door of the cabin. I hear mate from inside the cabin. I know better than to get in the way of mates, so I open the door a bit wider and let the warrior in. The guys stand back and let them see each other. I step in between the rest of the warriors. “Gentlemen, let them get acquainted.” I say as I close the door a bit behind me. The men look at me. “Who are you?” one of them asked me. “I am Keska, 3rd-born alpha of Blue Crescent Pack. What Packs are you from?” I ask them, as I smell two different packs from them. “Midnight Sky.” Two of them say. “Harvest Moon.” The third one says. “Is the one inside from your pack as well?” I ask him. “Yes.” He says. I nod. “I would like you to link your alpha, please. Tell him that Keska would like to speak with him, and have him come here.” I tell him. “Who are you to request an audience with a sitting alpha?” he asked me with a bit of skepticism in his voice. “Did you see your alpha with a black eye about 2 months ago?” I asked him. I watch him pause as he tries to remember. “Tell you what, link him, ask him, and see what he has to say. I’ll wait.” I say to him, as I watch his eyes glaze over. When he is done, his attitude has changed. “Well, did you ask him to come?” “I did I will send him the coordinates.” He says. I nod. “I am going to go check on them. Please wait here.” I say to them. I head back inside. I see Ailea sitting at the table and her mate sitting across from her. “Ailea, are you ok?” I ask her. She looks up at me and nods her head. “I am ok, but there will be trouble if I go with them, Chad won’t stop coming after me.” She says. “Hey, one step at a time, Alpha Camron is on his way, and we will go from there.” I tell her. She just nods at me. “How do you know my alpha?” the warrior asked. “It’s a long story, and I will let him tell it if he is so inclined.” I say. We only have to wait about 15 minutes, and Alpha Camron knocks on the door of the cabin. I go to the door and open it all the way so that everyone can see inside. “Hi.” “Keska, Mackie,” he greets us with a nod of his head. “So, what’s going on that I have to come all the way out here?” He asked. “A long story, and one that I need you to keep secret from Father.” I tell him. He looks at me and then lets out a hearty laugh. “What’s one more secret?” he says. I just smile at his words.
