We search for the rest of the night. This time combining the information in the grimoire for protections and a good old fashioned highly encrypted internet search.
We were able to find stones and runes that should help us in our efforts, and I have an idea of how to make them wearable, but the problem was getting them to my guys and then getting them to wear them, constantly. And we also need to get access to the stones we found. We decided to ask Lenny when she came in the morning if she had any ideas. Her and Oliver are our only true allies right now.
Lil went to relieve Wyatt and Nathaniel so they could get some sleep around four and Jena and I went to run our patrol route, we’ll sleep after training.
Oliver was pleasant this morning, despite Kota looking like he wanted to murder someone. I also found that I could mindlink Oliver, he just couldn’t respond through the link. Apparently the Alpha command was literally they can’t talk to me. That has to be Kaley, but she didn’t think that through very well, but everything she does borderlines on childish.
My link is stronger than the pack’s due to the warrior brand so I can communicate with him from a pretty far distance. And even though it’s weird to basically have a conversation with myself, I am able to keep him up to speed with what we find.
I also reached out to Delta Kyle, Sam and my brother, but I haven’t seen them to know if they got the message or not. I’m not ready to reach out to the twins or Luna Ava. I don’t know if Kaley’s hooks are deep enough that they would tell her I have access to their minds or not.
As we head over to the training grounds Lil meets up with us to relieve Jena. Lil and I head to the training grounds and see Sam and Delta Kyle waiting at the gates and my whole heart seizes. It’s like deja vu from years ago when Delta Kyle was one of two people who saw me, really saw me and the things I was fighting through.
I could feel the warmth pool behind my eyes as we walked closer to them. They both look around assessing the surroundings, but I don’t care. At this point I’m ready to rip out each fingernail and stand of hair individually for what Kaley has done to me and my friends. I walk straight to them and let Sam wrap me up. No words, just emotions are shared. The moment doesn’t last long though and we head into training like nothing has changed and they haven’t been MIA for weeks.
Delta Kyle lets me lead though with the Elite Warriors, just jumping in to assist where needed. It is strange to think so many things are going on behind the scenes and most of these people have no idea anything out of the ordinary is going on.
I mean they obviously know about the rogues and the most recent attack, but we are werewolves and someone is always attacking someone else for better land, more power, whatever. That was made clear to me at the Alpha summit I went to with Alpha Reggie. But they don’t know that their Alpha is being mind controlled by one of their own pack members or that their future Alphas haven’t been around because fighting the mind control is basically making them crazy.
They are all getting stronger and more confident in their abilities everyday. An that is a bright spot in all of this. I can at least know that I am still being a positive influence on the pack. We were able to finally move all of the pups out to the Royal Pack for safety. At least Kevin and Kaley didn’t get in the way of that. But, maybe after the incident in the tunnel, Kaley realized that even the pups were seen as more important than her and she didn’t mind the removal of that distraction.
