The Doctor however is the one that almost makes me lose control to Joshua as he says “Don’t worry. In half an hour Aspen will have her break and then she will no longer be a thorn in your eyes.
As for Hunter, I have called her Uncle and it turns out his Father never mentioned any of this to the rest of the Family. He will contact me soon once he has a plan in place. With her Mother dead, Alpha Daniel will leave her here and that will make it easy for her Uncle to get to her.”
Victor informs me that Aspen gets a drink from the fridge every day, a drink the new Doctor gets for her and we both know that she trusts him enough now to not question the drink.
“I won’t let my Luna get hurt. I will protect her with my life, Alpha.” Victor states and I know that he will protect her or die trying.
Brent’s P.O.V.
I almost blew a gasket as I heard the Alphas explain why they were fighting one another. I am grateful I have Daniel as my Alpha and not the nitwit standing to my right.
Daniel sends me back to keep Hunter and Gabe company, because he can tell that I will explode within seconds and I am grateful for the fact that he is willing to handle this on his own.
Hunter and Gabe are sitting on the front porch when I get back to the cottage, Hunter runs into the cottage, and seconds later she shows up with a tumbler and a bottle of whiskey. I smile at her as she places them in front of me.
I down the first one in seconds and quickly pour myself another one, before I sit back in the chair while I thank her for the whiskey.
“What have you so pissed off, BeeBee?” She asks and I almost choke on the sip of whiskey.
Gabe stares at her and I am at a loss for words at what she called me.
“Hunter, have you lost your mind?” Gabe asks and the look on her face tells me that Gabe is gonna get it as badly as I did.
“I didn’t lose my mind, GeeGee.” She says with a straight face.
“Oh, don’t tell me no one ever connected the dots. Beta Brent and Gamma Gabe.” It takes us both a few minutes before we realize what she is talking about and then we both laugh out loud.
After we have calmed down enough, we tell her that she is the first one that ever made the connection and we tell her that she is the only one allowed to call us that without consequences.
“Daniel sent me back, because I was about to commit murder,” I growl before I explain why both Packs were fighting and then Daniel pulls us into a mind-link. I tell Gabe to explain things to Hunter, while I walk away to look for Alpha Malcolm.
Gabe’s P.O.V.
“Who was that GeeGee?” Hunter asks and I actually feel proud that she gave me a nickname.
“Daniel pulled us into a mind-link so we could all hear a conversation he was listening to. Someone in this Pack holds a grudge against your Mother in regard to your Father. We have no details so far, but your Mother is well protected and I will not leave your side.” I say and she crawls onto my lap as tears roll down her face.
Knowing that Daniel can feel her emotions, I link him to let him know that she is aware of what happened. I hold her in my arms as I rock the rocking-chair I am sitting in and slowly her breathing evens out as she falls asleep.
Two Guards approach the cottage as Brent informs me that both the Doctor and nurse are taken to the dungeons, while someone from the Lab is testing the drink to see what he put in there.
Daniel sends Chris and Peter to keep me company and to help me protect Hunter if that would be necessary.
“She knows what happened, but I also think that learning a few basic things about herself has exhausted her.”
When I tell Chris and Peter about her ability to feel her Step-brothers, their jaws drop. We talk about the past day and a half as we wait for our Alpha and Luna to return.
Aspen’s P.O.V.
I can tell that Victor is in a mind-link, but his eyes never leave me as I walk around the room, checking on my patients. Once he is done he moves closer to me and it is as if I have an extra shadow with me.
He never gets in my way, it is as if he knows where I am going before I do and even though it should creep me out, it doesn’t. I know that this man will give his life for mine if that occasion should occur and I am grateful that Victor is very good at his job.
When it is time to take a break I walk to the fridge in the nurses-station, but the drink Doctor Willow usually gets for me is not there today and as I think about it I have not seen him in a little while.
“Luna, the drink was taken to the Lab to be tested. Alpha Daniel overheard a conversation about an attempt on your life.” Victor says and as the words sink in, my world turns black.
I slowly open my eyes and find myself on the couch with Victor on his hunches beside me. The door opens and Victor quickly gets out of the way as my Mate wraps his arms around me. “Don’t ever scare me like that again.” He whispers.
Victor tells me that I was out for a minute or so, but it was enough to alarm Daniel to my distress. I kiss his cheek to let him know that I am fine and then I start to panic “Where is Hunter? Where is my Baby?” I yell as I try to get up from under Daniel.
