DRAKE: I can smell Keska and Trever, I get it, he is her mate, but seriously? “Come.” I call out. Keska and Trever enter the office. James, Janica, and Carla are already in attendance. “Umm, what’s going on?” she asked, looking around at everyone who was here. “We are going to discuss the Jessie issue, and what you said you wanted to have done.” I say, “And since your brother will be the next Alpha, Janica will be the next Luna, I felt that it was only right that they be in on this discussion as well.” I say to her. “Does she know the details of the Jessie issue?” she asked me. “And not to mention that Trever doesn’t know everything, are you sure about this?” she asked. “Well, he is going to know sooner or later, and Janica has a fair idea about Jessie, considering it was due to her that we actually got some of the information we got on Jessie.” I tell her. She nods her head. She and Trever take seats on one of the couches. “Keska, I want you to repeat out loud what you said to me at the lake.” I say. She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “I want Jessie released from the cells.” She says. “WHAT? WHY?” James asks. “Because it isn’t teaching her anything anyway, and she will only hate me more than she already does, keeping her in the cells isn’t going to change her.” She says. “She will try to pull some stunt and blame you.” James says. “Maybe, but she can’t blame me if I’m not here.” “And where would you be? If not here?” Carla asked. “At the cabin that she was going to keep me in anyway.” She says.
CARLA: “You can’t stay there by yourself.” I tell her. “I won’t be by myself, Mackie already said she would come with me, and so did Trever and Dutch.” She says. “Mackie needs to ask her parents if she can stay.” I tell her. She stays quiet after that statement. “As for the prince and Dutch, they too need to understand the ramifications of being alone with someone or some ones underage.” I say to them. “I know my words seem harsh, but you both need to know the seriousness of the issues; if it were to get out, your reputations could be irreparably damaged, and that would not be good for the royal house.” I say. “What if we take Liam with us? He could be a chaperone.” Trever speaks up to say. “Then there will be no irrefutable evidence that something might have happened, and therefore keeping the reputation of the royal house clean as well as Keska’s.” He says.
KESKA: I just want to scream at Mom, she doesn’t realize that she and Father are not the only ones in this pack who ignore their children. But I don’t say a word. I can also feel the anger coming from Trever, but he is keeping his cool about everything. They are just such hypocrites. I can’t wrap my head around it. “If I may point out, that Jessie was going to leave me there with not one but two males, by ourselves, she didn’t care about my reputation or theirs, and I probably would have ended up in a worst situation if that had gone the way Jessie had wanted it to go, at least this way I am not going to be in harm’s way, and I will also be out of Jessie’s sight, and out of her mind, if there is nothing or no one around to remind her that I am alive and well.” I say, and I watch as they all shiver at what I just said. Not liking the mental picture, I just painted for them. But I know how Jessie **doesn’t** think things through, and that she wouldn’t have cared if they had raped me or not. I feel Trever wrap his arms protectively around me. I just rub circles on them to calm him. I watch as James gets super pissed, along with Janica. Mom moves to go sit with father. They all know what wasn’t said. \[“Yes, that they would have been clueless, and wouldn’t have even cared either.”\] Corla pipes up in my head. \[“Corla, it’s not fair to lump Janica in with the others; she wasn’t here, she wasn’t a part of it.”\] I tell her. \[“Ok, so minus Janica.”\]
TREVER: Goddess I am so pissed at them right now, I feel like I could shift and rip them all to shreds, if it weren’t for Keska’s soft touch on my arms, I probably would do just that, Barett be damned. I wish I could link with her. I wonder if what she and Mackie did would allow that to happen. I will have to look into it, because if it does, she and I will be doing the exact same thing. I hate not being able to link with her, short of doing what we can’t do until she is 18, I don’t know of any other way. Speaking of links, I get one pushing in my head. I open it. *“Dude, what is going on? Mackinzie is pacing like crazy, like she is worried.” “It’s me, Kes is keeping me down, I feel like shifting and ripping through these idiots, this conversation is about her sister Jessie, and some bullshit scheme she tried to pull, which could have got Keska raped.”* I sent him. *“She is probably getting Keska’s feelings and her anxiety, at trying to keep me down.” “Trever, man, you need to chill.” “I’m trying, I really am, but these assholes are making it hard for me to do that.”* I sent him.
JAMES: I know that both the males in question are still in the cells, and I just want to go down there and beat the living daylight out of both of them, after what Keska just said, but I know I can’t do that, and considering it was Jessie that instigated the whole mess, and now Kes wants her out of the cells while she goes into hiding, it doesn’t make any sense to me. Janica moves closer to me as if reading my mind to wanting to go beat the crap out of Kirk and Rodney, she puts her arms around me to help calm me. The way I’m feeling right now Wednesday can’t come soon enough, I need to be able to feel the bond like she can, take in her scent to soothe me.
KESKA: “Look, Jessie is not getting anything out of being in the cells, it’s not going to humble her, it’s not going to teach her to be a better person, or learn to care about others, all it’s going to do is make her resent me more, and while I could care less what she thinks of me, do you all want her to hate all of you? Because that is what will happen if she stays in the dungeon.” “But this way you get to keep your hero status and your shining armor intact, I will be out of the picture, and she won’t have any clue about me, as long as no one says anything.” “And I can stay alone if I have to, it’s not like I haven’t done it a million times before.” I say, not that I really want to remind them of how many times they left me behind when they went on trips, but if the shoe fits, especially with mom. “You were here, there were people around.” “Not any that gave a crap about me, except for Mackie.” “I don’t want to argue with any of you, but I just think that this is the best way to go forward, with the least amount of resistance from her, and you won’t have to try to keep as tight a rein on her.” “And if need be, say that my mate found me and took me back to his pack to finish school, and live there, until I am 18 and he can mark and mate me, and with the prince still being around she won’t have any reason to suspect anything to the contrary.” I said. I felt Trever’s arms tighten around me. I just rub my hands up and down his arms. I feel him bury his nose in my neck and take in a deep breath, and he relaxed slightly. It makes me blush slightly because it’s in front of Mom and father.
