Cleaning up the mess

Mom is safe, right now. The doctors told me they stabilized her, but they don’t have an antidote for the poison out of the arrows. The lab is analyzing the data, but the first results are coming back in twelve hours at the earliest.

One of the other warriors found Levi in the woods, barely breathing. He’s in surgery right now. The moment I knew mom was safe, I went back to the woods and helped repel the people from the Blue Oasis pack. I sigh, it was a bad attack. We lost about 25 good warriors. Our pack isn’t big, this is a huge step back! If I wasn’t be able to shift in my wolf, the damage would’ve been even more! This will take us around three years, to recover. We need to change a lot of things to make the pack grow stronger. I will discuss with mom later on.

I need to talk with the elders. With Joshua and Bonnie too. We need to discuss who’s gonna be the next Beta. I’m not sixteen yet, officially I can’t run the pack right now. Not even temporarily. I walk back to the packhouse, straight to moms office. I forgot James was still standing in the hallway. It’s a strange look, James standing on the same spot I left him a few hours ago. His eyes looks empty. I link one of the omega’s to bring him some food and water, he shouldn’t starve to death.

I open the door of mom’s office. I was standing here, a few hours ago. I sigh. I take place behind her desk, and reach at the phone to call the elders.

“Hi, this is Adam WhiteMoon speaking. We’ve had an attack at our Luna, she’s wounded and not able to run the pack at the moment. I want to discuss our situation. Is it possible to meet with an elder, as soon as possible?”

I listen to the answer, the secretary is giving me. She answers one of the elders will be here at 10 AM this morning. I end the call and look at the clock. Woow. It’s already 02:00 AM. I need a shower and try to get as much sleep as possible.

I rest my forehead on my mom’s desk. This was an incredibly crazy night. With my eyes shut, I mindlink Joshua:

*Hey, man, are you and your mom OK?*

Immediately I got a response:

*Mom’s OK. She seems fine, weirdly enough. I’m fine too.*

*Good to know, I need you both in mom’s office, tomorrow morning at 10 AM. Is that OK for you both?*

It took Joshua a few minutes to mindlink me back:

*Jeah, mom said it’s fine. See you in a few hours then. Good night!*

I cut the link, rush to my room - ready to take a long, hot shower.

-Bonnie POV-

The moment Joshua told me something was wrong and we needed to lock all the doors, I knew it was James. He was acting strange all week, well - the last weeks. I never would have guessed James was planning an attack at Avery! Josh told me Avery took over James' mind. He’s not dead, but Joshua told me ‘he is gone’. His body is here, but his mind is gone. I think Joshua expected me to cry, yell or at least react. But he doesn’t know my secret.

He doesn't know I don’t care. I don’t love James, I never did. In fact, I hate him. I hate him, because he killed my mate. I can never explain to Josh. He cannot know the only reason he lives, is because his father raped me. I got pregnant with Joshua, because James raped me.

The thought alone, makes me cry again. I fall asleep, with dried tears at my cheeks.
