Chapter 49
While the she-wolves were getting checked out Damien was talking with them getting their stories. We found out the she-wolf, Leigha is alpha jay’s twin sister. Alpha jay had called his beta Shelly down to the medical center. When she got there she immediately rushed to me “Addie oh Addie” she looks up at me tears in her eyes I can tell she is worried so I end it fast by telling her she is only sleeping. Reilly floods her. She tells me she is the youngest and second daughter in her family. Handing the little pup over to her I smile. “if she needs things to wear I’m sure ash would be willing to share they look about the same size.” I tell her getting a smile in return.
“What a mess.” Damien says to me once he is next to me. “yes and you have to hand it to that she-wolf she did great saving therm and getting her.” “she didn’t get them here just saved them the little pup told them the directions here.” he says confuses me. I start to wonder if she is an oracle. Bridget comes up to me with a weird look on her face, scenting the air tilting her head back and forth. “what's up bridge?” “oh, I don’t know something is pulling me here. But about the little pup nope not an oracle. She was just easier for the goddess to influence as she is still young and open to the world. She wouldn't question what she feels just do it.” she tells me while looking around. “what is that smell?” now she has me confused and I just look at her but I scent the air as well “the medical center and dirt.” I say and she glares at me “no it's like a flower but soft just barely there and I can't place it or find it.” I glance at Damien who just shrugs his shoulders.
Alpha jay and his sister come out of the room when Bridget growls. I place my hand on her shoulder before she can move. I now get what is going on and so does Damien. He leans down to her ear “she is only 17 you will scare her.” what” she snaps her eyes to Damien. He nods “bridge she is alpha jays twin sister.” taking a breath to calm herself shoulders drop. The longing is so clear in every pore of Bridget but she stays put. Watching her and the other she-wolves talk with jay telling him everything. Leigha is being very quiet. The anger and sadness in her eyes. Bridget stiffens as she watches. A small growl leaves her lips. Leigha snaps her head our way. Glaring at us she stomps over to us. Stopping in front of Bridget glaring. “what is your problem?” she says and pokes Bridget in the shoulder. Her eyes widen and snap to Bridget's eyes. Her face softens and a smile starts to spread across her face. Alpha
jay walks over slapping his sister's shoulder. “congrats little sister. You got lucky with her” his words confusing us all. That was until Leigha throws herself at Bridget crashing her lips to Bridget. Taking half a heartbeat before bridge responds. “what?” both Damien and I say at the same time. “the hill family has a special gift I guess. If we touch our mate at any time we will know.” alpha jay says. “so does your mate know you are their mate even if they are underage?” I ask. “that is a good question so far the mates have all been of age.” “just your bloodline?” “ya a long time ago when packs were made my great, great something grandfather started ours. In a fight with a rogue his nose was hurt beyond our healing and he lost his sense of smell. After years of he did finally meet his mate, she turned out to be a friend from his younger years. They had been close friends she had been away from the pack at school when he came of age. Back then she-wolves were not as forward as today. So she thought he was rejecting her, so for too long she avoided him; one day while on a run he came across her being pinned down in the woods; leaping into action he saved her from the rogue. The second he grabbed her hand and felt the sparks. He smashed his lips to hers. Telling her how he has been waiting forever for her and was so glad it was her. Once things settled down and they talked she found out she had been wrong he never was rejecting her he couldn’t smell her. When they had pups they all did not have a sense of smell. So since that day, no hill can smell not something we share willingly mostly the only ones to know are packed you the first outsider. The goddess couldn’t fix what had been cursed on us all those years ago but she can help with the mating issue we had. So for us at any age, if we touch our mate we know they are our mate.” damn I thought that's crazy but makes me wonder what happened to his nose and can be avoided so this doesn't happen again. Breaking the kiss Bridget doesn't look away from Leigha but answers my question even though I had yet to verbalize it. “it was a spell and curse. He had rejected a witch's advances telling her he will only be with his mate. She had learned that we find our mates by smell. But she knew nothing of the touch. So she sent rogues to fight him, their claws laced with the potion. All they had to do was scratch him and his sense of smell would be gone from him and his bloodline.”
“your an oracle” Leigha whispers. Bridget nods. “Grammy was right. She said I would be blessed with a special mate,” she says pulling Bridget tight against her. I would have never guessed that they couldn’t smell. How do they do that I wonder? I look over to see alpha jay looking at me. He raises his brow “just ask” he says, nodding I do “how do you run patrol and things I would have never guessed you can't smell.” with a smirk “well we can feel extra strong so we feel the vibrations in the ground our wolves remember patterns so between their sound and vibrations we can tell who is pack and who is not. But also the beta family has extra strong smelling and the family has blood bonded for life. So even though I can't smell Shelly can and what she smells I get a mental image instead of scent. So if something is sweet she may think of candy or fruit and I know it's pleasant. This helps with eating due to smell is part of taste.” I nod it makes sense this was the first time I had seen them apart but it only lasted so long.
