Chapter 34

Claudia’s POV
**“Mandy, you’ve been very quiet since last night”** I question her. **“I’ve been taking the whole process in”** she answers. **“I know what you mean. I always knew Danny was special; I didn’t realise how special until the memories came back to me.” “There is more to it. I need to talk to our Goddess again. Now we know everything; it explains a lot of questions I had. The abilities Danny has, I wasn’t sure how the mate bond could give them to Danny. It helped Jesse see what he could do and what you all need to do to control them”** she tells me.
I agree with Amanda; we all have these extra abilities; Cyndy, Jason, Tim and Rick included. Although the four of them can’t push people away with energy like Danny and myself did. They have other abilities; Jason for instance can run faster than the rest of us. It’s like he swallowed some nitro and takes off.
Tim and Rick have combined abilities. It’s like watching a video game; they choose a weapon and it appears. I’m not sure how it worked. **“Neither do I; that is one of the things I wanted to ask Goddess Selene about”** Amanda tells me.
Cyndy; her ability, stunned me. **“She is stronger than all of us combined”** Amanda says; smiling. **“Yes, to look at her you wouldn’t think so. And how she became a protector; she was Elsie’s big sister. We always thought it was weird we looked similar, even though we aren’t related”** I giggle back to her.
“Claudia, can I speak with you?” Cyndy asks me. “Sure, what’s on your mind?” “I was thinking about what was said to us and the threat we may be facing. Could Michael be involved in some way? You told us James was overheard by Mel, he is telling everyone” she states. “I have been thinking the same thing. We can’t prove he is or isn’t involved in some way” I answer her.
She sighs; “It’s hurts me to see you distressed because of them. It did when it first happened; I didn’t know why, but I do now. I just have a feeling he is a part of it because Uncle Cam and Uncle Scott killed Alfie and Chris” she informs me. “The thought had crossed my mind also. We need to talk it over with Dad and Danny” “Once; Junior arrives” Cynthia giggles.
“Did Jason tell you what they were calling him?” I ask Cyndy. “No; both him and Tracey were keeping it a secret” she explains “I should march myself in there and demand to know. She’ll be too preoccupied and tell me” I laugh; contemplating if my thought was good enough to put into action. “He’s here” Jason says, coming into the waiting area.
I get out of my chair and walk in behind Jason, with Danny, Mum, Dad, Cynthia, Tim and Rick following behind us. “Where’s Simon?” Jason asks me. “He had a training class with the 14-year-old pups who just got their wolves. He said he will pop by when it was over” I inform him. “Everyone, meet Jasper Cameron” Jason smiles as I walk over and hug Tracey.
“Did I look that tired after I had Sophia?” I giggle to Tracey. “Yes” everyone calls out in unison; laughing. “Speaking of Sophia; where is she?” “We dropped her off with Aunty Joslyn before we came down to the hospital” I tell her; going over to mum to pry baby Jasper out of her arms. “I want a cuddle” I smile at her.
“Hello Jasper” I coo; rocking the baby in my arms. “Mum and Dad want to have a chat with us” Danny says, grabbing Jaspers little hand. “Cyndy and myself want to talk to you and Dad also” I answer him. “When we are finished here, we can go up to Dad’s office” Danny replies as I give Jasper to Cynthia.
“What did I miss?” Simon smiles coming into the room and giving Tracey a hug. “Not much; he was born not long ago” Jason answers him. “We best be going; Congratulations to you both” Dad says, smiling at Jason and Tracey. “We’ll get going too. When you feel up to it; we’ll take the kids for a walk and let the mum’s have some free time” Danny says to Jason. “I’ll hold you to that” Tracey giggles.
“Me too; Cyndy can you join us?” I announce; giving Tracey a cuddle before heading out the door and up to the packhouse to Dad’s office. “Do you want me to tell Alpha Henry and Danny about my concerns?” Cynthia asks me. “Yes, I thought it would be best to get everything out in the open, on what we all are thinking” I answer her; reaching Dad’s office.
“I asked Cyndy to join us, Dad” I tell him; as we walk into the office. “Ok, I was just about to ask why she was here” he informs us. I saw the question in Dad’s eyes and felt I needed to let him know.
“I received an email back from King Oliver. He would like to see everyone again” Dad tells us. “We’ve met him before; about 150 years ago” Danny explains. “I figured as much” Dad chuckles. “Alpha Henry; I have a concern regarding Michael” Cynthia says, as everyone looks at her to continue.
“Elsie and I were sisters. That is why I was chosen as a warrior and given an extra ability of strength. Goddess Selene chose me, as we were close and thought; besides Teancum, I will be able to protect her the most. When Claudia was taken; I was distraught. I didn’t know why until this morning. Michael is telling everyone about Amanda. Because of that; I’m wondering if he is playing a part of whatever threat may be out there” she finishes; looking at me.
“To be honest with you; I was thinking along those lines also” Dad says to her. “Same. He may be innocent and not wanting a confrontation. His big mouth has others interested. The legend has it; when Elsie was taken, the white wolf was the only one with the abilities. They didn’t realise we each had them. Amanda does have a few extra; she can communicate with Goddess Selene and allow others to her sanctuary. She gave that to Elsie as she was the one taken and I; or should I say Teancum was able to visit with her” Danny explains.
“Can you tell us; what each of you can do?” Mum asks us. “Danny and I; you already know. We are able to throw people away from us. You wouldn’t think it; but Cyndy can kick ass with her strength” I explain, looking at Cynthia and giggling. “It explains why you can handle yourself against us me. Jason is fast; like sonic fast” Danny adds. “And Tim and Rick?” Dad asks.
“We aren’t sure how; they can get weapons from thin air. In one of my memories; Rick received a sword and cut off someone’s head. It disappeared just as quickly” Danny tells him. “We may need to ask them about it” “I did; Tim said, they just think what they need and it appears and when it’s no longer needed, it disappears” Danny answers him.
“Mandy said she wants to talk to Goddess Selene about them. She doesn’t even know how Grandma Nelly got the book” I tell everyone. “Sariah” Cynthia answers. “Pardon?” Mum asks her. “I gave the book to Sariah’s father; Malachi. Once one of us dies; the book is given to Sariah’s family. It is passed down from generation to generation until we are reborn. Either Sariah or her father would have given it to Luna Janelle when Danny was born.”
“That explains why Danny was the only person able to remove the painting from the wall” Dad injects.
“You have told us about most of the extra abilities; except one. Why is it, Amanda can heal those around her?” Mum asks Claudia. “When we were first given the abilities; after Elsie was taken the first time. Her captures hurt a lot of innocent people to get her to comply with their demands. Elsie didn’t like this and asked Goddess Selene to allow her to heal who she could. She was allowed to keep the power; to help those that were caught in the crossfire” I explain as tears roll down my cheeks.
“Snow Blossom; I know it’s hard. You can’t save every one” Danny tells me, putting his arms around my waist to comfort me. “Why do men have to be such pigs?” Cynthia exclaims. “Present company excluded” she adds, giggling at the looks on Dad’s and Danny’s faces.
“King Oliver has invited us to visit his castle in the north in two days and I have accepted the invitation. I am glad Jasper was born; it would have been awkward if she went into labour elsewhere” Dad informs us. “Who’s coming with us?” Danny asks. “There will be myself, Jade, you, Claudia, Simon, Tim, Rick, Jason and Cynthia” “Mates and children as well” Mum adds.
“How long will we be staying there?” Cynthia asks Dad. “He invited us for a week” he answers. “We should get packing” I announce to everyone.
**“Ask Pappa Wolf, if there is anything he wants me to ask Goddess Selene. I will chat with her in the meantime.”** Mandy tells me. “Dad; Mandy wants to know is there anything you need her to ask Goddess Selene?” “I can’t think of anything. You all pretty much covered the questions I had” he answers. “I have a few questions for Goddess Selene” Danny says. **“He can ask her himself”** Amanda huffs as I stifle a laugh. “Danny; she said you can ask her yourself.”
“I’m going to tell Brett we are going on a trip” Cynthia giggles; “We need to get organised; I will need to pack Sophia’s portable crib; blankets; bottles…” “We get the picture” mum interrupts me as Danny and I head out the door to our room.
