Chapter 66

Danny’s POV
“Where are you going with all that food?” I hear the screech of a voice; I haven’t heard in a long time. “None of your fucking business” Joanna replies, yelling at Anastasia. “You’re giving food to the prisoners” Anastasia screeches back as I look out, from the side of curtain to see what was happening.
“For your information, I was looking for a nice secluded place for Todd and I to have a picnic. How dare you question your Luna?” Joanna snarls, looking around her. “Liar; you are not Luna. Todd is mine” Anastasia screams as Todd comes up behind her. “Guess again?” he says, giving Joanna a kiss. “Did you find the picnic spot; Pumpkin?” He adds, looking towards the house.
“Who lives there?” She asks, pointing to the house. “No-one; it was my grandmothers before she died. Would be a good place to get down and dirty” he smiles, pulling Joanna in for a kiss whilst looking at where I was behind the curtain.
“You better watch your back” Anastasia snarls toward Joanna. “Are you threatening your Luna?” Todd booms; releasing his Alpha aura. “No, Alpha” she replies, taking off down the road. “He’ll drop you like he does every other woman and come back to me. Mark my words” Anastasia squeals before continuing down the road.
“Damn it; I was hoping she would scratch your eyeballs out” I snicker as Todd and Joanna come in the front door. “We figured, you will need some food and water” Joanna says, handing Jason the bag of food she was carrying. “Thanks sis. Danny, do you know how to cook?” Jason asks, looking at a lasagne.
“Only the pancakes, Claudia wanted to cook me” I answer, looking at the food he was pulling out of the bag as Joanna rolls her eyes at us. “Just don’t burn the place down again” Todd chuckles as I let off a growl. “They are instant meals, dumbass; courtesy of Simon. You just need to pull them out of the box, poke holes in the top of the plastic to let out the steam and put it in the microwave for 10 minutes. They aren’t as nice as Joslyn’s cooking but they are healthy enough for you” Joanna giggles at Jason.
“Tim’s copying the files now. He won’t let me anywhere near the computer. He said it’s better I don’t know what’s on them. Michael can’t sense anything, when I don’t know anything.” Todd includes. **“That is true. He doesn’t know anything”** Jesse snickers as I choke, stopping myself from laughing.
Todd gives me a dirty look before continuing; “Michael’s already called asking what we are doing about getting you back. He isn’t happy with Josiah; I could hear the screams down his phone. I told him it was as Tim thought; you were spotted running onto the Cedar Moon territory. I also told them the place has been booby trapped and can’t follow at the moment. You can’t get too far and we will try and get around the traps.”
“I suppose I better let you know, I message Claudia. She wants you and Joanna to go to the sanctuary tonight” I huff. I don’t want him there again. I’m guessing Mum wants to talk to him and meet Joanna. “What’s the sanctuary?” Joanna asks, looking nervous. “Is that where I went? I wondered what it was” Todd exclaims.
“Joanna; the sanctuary is where we get taken when two mates are apart. Claudia and myself have been there a few times and it’s also somewhere Mum and Grandma come on occasion. It is something to do with being a part of the chosen wolves. Todd’s dream; was not a dream. Mum really did tear him a new asshole for rejecting you” I tell her, smirking at Todd.
“Jo; you will become unconscious; make sure you are lying down around 10pm tonight so you don’t fall. I am also pissed I didn’t know Todd went there before he did. I would have drawn a moustache on him while he was knocked out” Jason says, laughing and Todd snarls at him.
“You have been there before?” she asks Jason. “Yes. On a few occasions. When Todd took us; we were all sent there, for me to be with Tracey; Danny could be there with Claudia and Alpha Henry could be there with Luna Jade” he tells her, giving her a smile.
“And you saw your mother and grandmother?” she asks, looking at Todd. “I don’t know why or how but yes” he answers, looking in my direction. “Mum has been helping Goddess Selene with what’s been going on. We don’t know how either, we just know why she is able to see us” I exclaim, sitting down on the couch.
“Oh; ok” she says, looking disappointed. “Jo; I won’t ask. It’s not something we can ask” Jason tells her as I look between the two of them. “Oh! Sorry Jace. I never stop to consider how you would be feeling, every time Mum or Grandma Nelly comes to see me” I whisper, as a tear streams down Joanna’s face.
“Can’t you ask for them?” Todd questions, looking hopeful. “I did for Chelsea; I can’t see why I couldn’t for you as well. I will ask Amanda tonight to seek guidance” I tell them, smiling. “Thank you” Jason answers, smiling back as Todd looks at me, with a questioning look.
“Two things; what does Chelsea have to do with asking Amanda and who is Amanda?” he asks me. “Amanda is the very gorgeous white wolf you so wanted to get your hands on; which you will not be doing. And she is the one who seeks council from Goddess Selene for us; although we have all spoken with her when we needed to; not just Claudia. And Chelsea asked to speak with her father. That is how we found out, he was in fact alive and she asked Simon who he was” I inform him, narrowing my eyes at him.
“He told her it was Craig, didn’t he? And you don’t have to worry little bro, I have my Luna right here” he exclaims, giving Joanna a peck on the cheek. “Will you stop calling me little brother and little bro” I snarl at him. “What’s wrong with that?” Todd spits back. “It’s just; weird” I answer him. “Weird or not; I’m not going to stop” he huffs at me.
“We need to get back. We will see you at 10pm” Todd says, as he and Joanna walk out the door. “I didn’t think it was right for me to ask” Jason says, looking out the window from behind the side of the curtain. “There’s no harm in asking Jace. What’s the worst Goddess Selene can say? Sorry Jason, you can’t see your father. You will be no different now than before you asked and you won’t have any regrets, you didn’t take the opportunity to ask her” I tell him.
“I guess, you’re right” he says, walking into the kitchen. “These meals don’t seem too hard to cook. What do you want, Lasagne or Roast and mash?” he asks me. “Do you even have to ask? Lasagne” I chuckle my answer, coming into the kitchen behind him.
“Holy Crap; I never saw what happened in here. I didn’t come into the kitchen when we got the pictures and the book” I gasp, taking in a deep breath. “It doesn’t look too bad, as a house fire is concerned. It was concentrated around the stove area. Simon must have had the fridge and freezer cleaned out before they sealed the house up” he informs me. “Or the rouges cleared it all out” I include.
“Neat and tidy rogues; that’s a first. They are too clean for rouges to have cleared it out. I would bet money Simon had them cleaned out” he chuckles, putting the lasagne into the microwave. “Did you turn the power box on; numpty?” I snort. “I thought, you had” he answers, heading out the back door and flicking the power switch.
“Try that” he calls out to me. “It’s working” I yell back to him as he comes back inside.
“Dinnertime” I chime out as the bell to the microwave rings in the kitchen. I grab a plate for Jason and myself. “Smells delicious” Jason says, taking his plate of Lasagne. “Doesn’t taste delicious. It’s very bland and I eat almost anything” I tell him, taking my first bite. “Joanna did warn us, not to expect it to be like Joslyn’s” he says, grabbing some water to help him swallow the lasagne.
“We can rough it out” I announce, taking another bite off my plate. “We have to. Remind me to give Joslyn a big kiss when we are done here” Jason laughs, eating another forkful. “Me too” I agree.
