“Hey there beautiful. Want a ride to class?” he asked. I shook my head and told him that I preferred to walk this morning due to being so tired. I was hoping the brisk walk would help wake me up by getting my blood pumping. “I have something that will help with your exhaustion and give you a little pep if you’d like,” he stated. I looked at him with a confused expression, and he started to laugh. “What are you talking about?” I asked. He got a bottle out of his car and took a pill out of it. He placed it in his hand and extended it to me. “It’s just Aderall. It’s for people with ADHD. If you don’t have ADHD, it gives the opposite effect. It works like speed. It will help you stay awake and focused,” he answered. I refused the pill, but he made sure to let me know that it was still offered if I decided I needed it.
Approval
*Maddix POV*
I felt a much better understanding after speaking with Alette and Micah. How horrible for her to have experienced that kind of trauma the whole time she was with that piece of shit. It was late, and I wanted to spend some much-needed time with my wife before heading to bed. Unfortunately, that wasn’t in the cards. By the time I was able to enter our room, she was fast asleep.
I decided to shower, and read a little bit before crawling into bed with her. I wasn’t sure I would be able to sleep much anyway, and I didn’t want to disrupt her sleep. I texted Phoenix in hopes he would be awake. Was hoping to talk him into counseling Micah once she returned. She and I had made arrangements for her to return at the end of the weekend, and I only had 3 more days to take care of Scott and carry out his sentence.
Luckily for him, I still had to wait for the call from Iris or Declan, whichever called first. Iris was on the verge of retiring from the Royal Council, and Declan was taking her place. Iris held a special place in my family, even one of my sisters carried her name as their middle name. She helped my parents through some pretty disturbing times in the past. She was well respected, and very loved here in Blood Moon.
It wasn’t long before I received a text back from my older brother.
Phoenix: Why are you still up?
Me: Was on a phone call with Lettie. I need a favor. I’m sorry.
Phoenix: A favor? Is everything alright with Alette?
Me: Yes, she is perfectly fine, it’s her friend Micah.
Phoenix: Micah? Which one is she again?
Me: LOL she is the one that was at the beach with her when she was dosed not long ago.
Phoenix: Oh, OK. What’s the favor Mads? You never ask for favors.
Me: Well, Micah is pregnant. The pregnancy was the end result of multiple rapes at the hands of her boyfriend, Scott. He is the one who started the fire, and attacked Henry, Celeste and Hazel. It turns out he is also Willow’s biological father. Micah ran away after the last rape, and when she found out she was pregnant. According to her, he was extremely abusive, and there was no time during their relationship that the sex was consensual.
Phoenix: Damn. That is awful. Did he not realize that abuse of another wolf, especially rape, holds serious consequences? Now he has arson over his head too. What a dumbass.
Me: Agreed. Here is the favor. She is going to need counseling. A lot of it, I’m afraid. She is afraid of everything right now. She isn’t keeping the pup. She wants to surrender it to the pack for adoption options. I even offered to work it out with Uncle Jason for her to stay there, but she would rather be at her home. She will be back on Sunday. I have to carry out Scott’s punishment before she gets here. I promised Lette. Would you be willing to counsel her? You are the best I know, and the most patient person I know. She knows that Alette trusts you completely, and I recommend you to her also. Please say you will bro.
A long pause, but I could tell he was typing.
