Chapter 98

Philip pov


Walking out front to meet Michelle on an overcast day. A day fitting for the news I am about to hand over. Sweet little Michelle is skipping over with the biggest grin on her face. This news could not come at a worse moment. “what's up Phil” being a rogue and the beta female and she's too darn lovable to correct her so she has never and I have a feeling will never call me alpha unless it's in a formal situation. I want to smile back as I know why she is so happy but I feel like the biggest asshole cause I am gonna rain on her.

“so I have some good news and some horrible news. I am not letting you choose so don’t ask. First I need you to stay put until I am done telling you everything is okay.” tilting her head but nodding “we found Michael.” I can see the joy hope happiness in her eyes. Trying not to look away “but he was not in great shape. I don’t know all that was done I do know he was assaulted in many ways. He will need a lot of counseling and help to heal. I know you are about to become the beta female and you have a lot on your hands but I did not want to keep you from his care. I think you will be key in his recovery.” seeing her shoulders drop I help her to a bench outside letting her think of the very basic information I gave her. Looking up at me she starts “was he..” choking up she can't finish but I have a feeling I know so I nod. Big fat tears stream down her face. “but he’s so little why?” this is a new side of her I have never seen. I can feel the hate and sorrow spilling off her in waves.

After a few moments, she looks at me “tell me everything then take me to him please.” half a command half a plea. Nodding I go over everything with her from the smallest of cuts to the ones that will leave lasting scars. While I had waited for her I called on Ambrose the only way I knew how I thought I need him and poof here he is. “what is it?” boy he's testy. “I was wondering if you could or have a cream for a small pup with scarring damage could use to say erase the scars?” I ask with a little hope. With a huff he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a small tube “here this might help it's what I use to make for the old hags to make them have younger skin for longer. I'll see about something better when I have time.” and with that, he's gone again. I can't wait for the coven to get her and look him over.

All of this could not happen at a worse time the welcoming and accession ceremonies are in three days. Michelle takes the tube from me and looks at me with a pleading look. Dropping my shoulders I lead her to the broken boy. Knocking slowly cracking the door to let the little guy know it was me before I open the door. Stopping mid-way looking back at Michelle. “don’t rush to him okay let him come to you he's a little scared of everything right now.” she nods tears a river down her cheeks. Opening the door I see him huddled in the corner of the bed. Seeing me he relaxes a little. “hey little man I have someone here who missed you do you want to see her.” his little nod was so fast that he tumbled forward on the bed a little. Opening all the way Michelle slowly comes into the room. The moment their eyes locked there was an immediate change in him. A small smile on his lips. Looking from me to Michelle. I stepped away giving them room. Michelle slowly makes her way to the bed but the little man surprised us all as he flung himself at her. Both a puddle of tears on the floor. Stepping out of the room to let them have some time.

While they are together there I will call in the doctors and counselors I think would best help him. I also called one of the early education coaches up as I know it's a long way to recover with him but getting him back into a normal healthy routine is going to be key. First, he will need someone he can talk to call at any time of day or night. And with Ty and Michelle still at the beginning of the mate bond and her surprise to Ty they will need an extra hand. I know sky and gunner still live on the beta floor with them and they could be helpful. But what I want is a younger wolf who's willing to stay nights over at the beta's suite and be at little Michael's beck and call. I know this is a little or a lot more than we do for other wolves. Not saying what we do is crap it's not. We have many wolves on the call tree to talk to if you're having a bad day or night. Or just need to talk through your lonely feeling or a flashback. The difference between Michael and the other wolves is this little wolf is connected to my best friend. So this little wolf is family.
After meeting with several wolves a young male with hopes to be a pack psychologist who was orphaned in a rogue attack seems to be the best fit. He's just 18 and has opted to do most of his courses online to stay at the pack where he helps in the nursery. Once I had the care team hand-picked I sent them to look over his chart and make their plan. Since they will be working with him the most it only made sense the created a plan that worked for them all. Reminding them to make sure to have a plan b, c, and maybe even to plan x as I still have not got much out of him.

Walking back in I see both Michelle and Michael cuddled on the bed.
