FRANK: I open a link to Cash. *“They have taken Keska and are holding her in the cabin, just keep watch, if Kirk and Rodney get out of hand and start trouble, step in to help Chris out.” “Copy that.”* I close the link. The waiting is the hardest part of all of this.
KESKA: I come to, and I look around. I am in a cabin, and there is a light on, but it’s dim. My head is pounding. I try to sit up, but I can’t. My hands are cuffed to the bedpost above my head. I hear some movement to the left of me, I turn my head and see a girl sitting in a chair. “Who are you?” I asked her, and my voice sounds like I have a mouth full of gravel, and my throat is so dry. “I’m Tara.” She says, “Where am I?” I ask her. “In the hunting shack at the North border.” She tells me. “Is there water? Can I get a drink?” I ask. “Sure.” She comes over and holds a bottle of water to my lips and helps to hold my head up so I can drink. I take a few swallows of water and ask, “How did I get here?” “Kirk carried you, and Rodney came along for the trip.” “Is there anyone else here with you?” I ask her. “Chris.” She tells me. “Are you part of my sister's plan, or my father’s?” I ask her. “Your father’s.” “What about Chris?” “I believe your father’s.” “Ok, do either one of you have the key to the cuffs?” I asked. “I don’t, I don’t think they left them with us.” She says. (Great, just great!) I think to myself. “Is Chris here?” “Yeah, he’s somewhere outside.” “Well, get him in here and let’s ask him.” I say, she takes out her phone and texted someone, hopefully Chris. A minute later, her phone dings. “Sorry, out of luck, they didn’t leave the key.” She tells me. I open a link. *"Is there anyone close to the old hunting cabin at the north border?”* I put it out to anyone who could hear me. *“Keska, it’s Pete, how are you?” “I’m ok considering the circumstances, but I do need to use the bathroom, Kirk nor Rodney left the keys to the cuffs, I can get out of them, but if I did that, too many people would be exposed to too many secrets.” “I understand, let them know that I am coming in, I don’t want any trouble with them, they are helping your father.” “Thanks, Pete, just please hurry.”* I cut the link. “A guard is going to come and get me out of these cuffs,” I say. “So don’t try to take him, he is one of the Delta elites, and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, helping to catch Jessie.” I tell her. She takes her phone out and sends a message, presumably to Chris. The door opens, and 3 people walk in. The only one I know is Pete. “Hey.” “Hey, yourself.” “Please get these things off of me.” Pete comes over to me, puts on a pair of gloves, and uncuffs me. “Thank you, but I really need to use the bathroom. When I come back, we can do introductions.” I head to the bathroom, I do my business, wash my hands, and come back out to where everyone is sitting. “I am Keska, for those who don’t know me.” I say to the group at large. I look at a guy who looks to be about James’s age, “Chris, I presume?” He nods, and I hold out my hand to shake his. He takes it and shakes it. I turn to Pete, “I know Pete.” I say, turning to the last person in the room, “But I don’t have a clue who you might be.” I say to him. “I’m Cash, I was assigned to shadow Chris here in case the other two got too bossy and out of control.” He says. I hold out my hand to shake his. “Nice to meet you Cash.” I say to him. I turn back to Pete, “So what’s the plan? When are we getting out of here?” I ask him. “I’m sure that Tara and Chris here want to get back to their families, and I have a party to help feed.” I say. “We are waiting on word from the Alpha, or Mitchell, to let us know that Kirk and Rodney are in the cells.” He says. “Who are we?” I asked him. “Well, Clay is out on watch right now, but then there is Darius and Brody, they are the rest of the team.” He tells me. “Clay is my older brother.” Tara says. I nod. “Has everyone been updated on the turn of events?” I asked, “What do you mean, like the fact that you are conscious and no longer in cuffs?” Pete says with a slight chuckle. “Yes.” I say with just a hint of sass to him. “Not yet, we want to make sure all goes well on their end first.” He says. I nod.

LILLY: I take the boys to the back of the marquee and have them sit. “I am going to tell you a story, and I want you to sit and pay attention, because I cannot repeat myself, as we can’t take the chance of others hearing what I am going to tell you.” I say to them. They both nod to me. “I take it that the girls are your mates?” They both nod. I smile. “Oh, this is going to be so good.” I couldn’t help the sarcastic grin that came to me. “First things first, Trever, you need to know that Keska has her wolf.” I whisper to him. “Don’t react.” I say. “There were a series of unfortunate events that brought it about.” I say. “She was rejected by her paternal grandmother, then Jessie rejected her, and she accepted it. Then she was stabbed.” “Calm down Trever. Breath, we can’t draw attention to us.” I say soothingly to him. “The people responsible for stabbing her are dead. But the person who master minded it all is still at large. I believe that they are working on it as we sit here.” “So, you must stay calm.” “How do you know they are working on it?” he whispers to me. I nod my head in the direction of our lead warrior. “He is why I believe that they are working on it. He is the head warrior; he hates these events and only shows up at
