BARETT: I link Trent directly. *“You ready for this?” “I have to be, or he will tear this place apart if I, or we, can’t get him to calm down.” “Let’s get the girls and get down there before he does.”* I close the link. “Alisha, my brother and I need to go help our youngest let off some steam. He found his mate, but she is underage, and he has a bit of pent-up frustration happening.” “Poor guy, of course, let’s go.” We head out.
TRENT: “Rachell, Barett, and I need to go help our other brother let off some steam. He apparently is not in a good place at the moment, and if we don’t get him to calm down, he will tear this pack apart. Nobody wants that to happen.” “What’s got him in this state?” “He found his mate, but she is underage.” “Ouch.” I nod my head. We head out to the training grounds.
KESKA: After Trever and I got back, I told him I needed to change and clean up after working on the cabin. As I was in the shower, an idea hit me. Why not fix it completely up and rent it out as a mini vacation spot, it has some nice views of the forest and it is quiet, and while I work at getting it fixed up no one will be going there but me and who ever I need to do the work, it could be a source of income for Mackie and me. I will have to talk with her about it, and Father, too. After getting dressed in shorts and a tee, I head out to go find Mackie and the guys. I don’t find them in the pack house or the marquee, so I link her. *“Where are you?” “At the training grounds, after you told Trever whatever you told him, he needed to let off some steam, so he is taking on both his brothers and Dutch, so he doesn’t tear the pack apart.” “Shit I didn’t think he would take it that hard.” “Apparently he did.” “On my way, is Jessie there?” “I don’t see her.” “Let’s hope she doesn’t show.” “Amen to that.”* I close the link and head to the training grounds. I sit next to Mackie when I get there. After about 5 minutes, I get a link from Liam. *“Where are you?” “At the training grounds, Trever needs to let off a little steam, so several of us are here.” “Ok, I’m on my way.”* He closes the link. I don’t like to see Trever in this state, but I don’t know what to do for him. While we are sitting there, watching, I open a link to Mackie. *“What do you think of us fixing up the cabin then asking Father if we can rent it out as a mini vacation spot, we could get extra money, I know that we would have to keep it cleaned if we did that, but it would turn it into something useful instead of it sitting there empty.” “It could work if he were willing to let us have it.”* I nod and close the link, and watch the guys start their training bouts. Liam comes and sits with us to watch. “Is he ok?” Liam asked. “I don’t know love; I told him about stuff, and I think he needs this in order to not tear the pack apart,” I tell him. “I don’t blame him, Sometimes I want to tear this pack apart.” He tells me. “Liam, it’s not the pack’s fault; it solely lands on Father, Mother, James, and Jessie, not the pack.” I tell him. We watch as Trever takes on both his brothers and his friend. He holds his own against them for a while, longer than anyone here would have lasted, but then I could see that he was getting tired; he started making stupid mistakes. I want to make them stop, but I stayed out of it. Finally, Barett calls a halt to the training.
BARETT: “You ok now, little brother?” I ask him. “Yeah, at least I don’t feel compelled to tear the pack apart now.” He says. “Good, because I wouldn’t relish having to explain the devastation of one of the biggest packs in our territory by one of our own, to mother and father.” I say to him, and he nods. “When you have calmed down even more, you will have to share.” I tell him, and again he nods. I watch him closely, he is scanning the bleachers, and his eyes land on his mate, and he visibly calms and takes a deep breath. “Go on, go to her, her scent will help.” I say to him. Again, he nods. We all head over to where our mates are sitting. “We need to clean up.” I say, “There are showers in the barracks.” Kes says, and she leads us to where we can clean up.
JAMES: I notice the princes are heading to the training grounds, so I follow them to see what is going on, and I see the youngest one in the center of the others. He seems agitated and even a bit angry. I can feel it rolling off him from here. I see Liam sitting with Kes and Mackie, so I link him. “*Hey, what’s going on? Trever seems pissed about something, did someone piss him off, and we have to smooth things over with them?” “Well, not exactly, but if I were you, I would not let him see you right now; he just might take it out on you, and I don’t think you would survive.” “What do you mean?” “He was after Kes to tell him her story, so I’m assuming she did, how much I don’t know, but you know your history better than anyone else.” “Oh shit.” “Yeah, so as I said, I would keep a low profile around him for a while.”* I close the link to Liam and open one to Wyatt. *“You and I are going to need to keep our distance from Trever and Dutch for a while. He was pushing Kes to tell him her story, and I was just watching him; he withstood both his brothers and Dutch for a good 30 minutes before succumbing.” “Oh shit.” “Yeah.” “Got it.”* I closed the link with him, and then I had to let Dad know. *“Dad, I have a feeling that Kes told Trever her history, how much or just what I don’t know, but he was just at the training field, and he was taking on both of his older brothers and Dutch, and he stayed with them for at least 30 minutes. I was back by the bleachers, and I could feel the anger rolling off him; it was palpable.” “Just stay clear of him for the time being. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility.”* He sends back. I close the link.
LIAM: I link Kes. *“What’s your secret?” “When we were on our way to the dojo, the two older princes and Rachell helped to save a she-wolf and her pup, I put them in the old hunting shack that Jessie had me kidnapped to.” “Wow, when you say you have a secret, you don’t keep them small, do you?” “Nope. When have you ever known me to do anything like that small.” “True, but you’ve usually had to deal with Mimi or Jessie, and they never keep it small or to themselves.” “Well, other than those involved, Nana and now you, nobody else knows. Plus, now Trever knows about Corla.” “So, he pushed to know why, and you had to tell him something.” “Yes.” “James was asking about things. I told him that I thought that you might have told Trever about your history, and that was why he was in the mood he was in. I also told him he might want to keep a low profile for a while.” “It wasn’t all on James, it was Jessie as well. But yeah, probably a good idea for him to stay out of sight for a bit.” “Are you going to the range?” I asked her. “I want to, because now I feel like I need to let off a bit of steam.” “I will go grab our bows, and I will get Mackie’s too.” “Thanks, you are the best.” “Only for you.”* I hear her chuckle as I close the link and head to the pack house to grab our bows and Kes’s arrows. Then I head over to the Gammas and knock. Demi answers the door. “Hey Demi, do you know where Mackie keeps her bow?” “Not exactly, but somewhere in her room.” “Ok, thanks.” I link Mackie. *“Can I go into your room and get your bow?” “Sure, it’s in the back of the walk-in closet.” “Thanks, I will meet you at the range.”* I close the link. Head to her room and straight to her closet and go to the back, sure enough, there it was, I grabbed it and headed out.
