“Is this okay little wolf?” I ask, not sure really what I am asking about, but she has gone too quiet, and I am concerned. She nods her head ‘yes’ and I can hear her sniffle. I hope she isn’t regressing. I won’t be able to handle it, if I can’t hear her words anymore. The water turns red and brown, and I decide to let the water out and refill the tub without alerting little wolf to what I am doing it for. She is staring into space, tearing up. Motionless and quiet. I don’t like it at all.
As the tub is filling, I mind??ink Cyrus to figure out who among my elite trusted is sober enough to come take care of Della’s remains. I will need to call a pack meeting and get everything out in the open. The poisoning, Kian, all of it. I can’t have the rumor mill or the telephone game spreading around these deaths and shifters coming up with their own conclusions. I know once the pack hears me, it will be final, and they will hear the truth in my words.
I start washing little wolf again. She leans back into me more while I pour water over her head to wash her hair. “What are you talking about? Della’s body? What the hell kind of party are you having out at your cabin?” “Della showed up tonight making demands of me. She tore little wolf down and threatened to turn the pack against her. A lot of hurtful words and Ayla snapped. She pulled Della’s heart through her chest cavity Cyrus. She didn’t even blink. She was cold and calculated. Not a trace of Ayla, full wolf control. She used her gifting on me as well. We have to find more information on this and a way to help her control it. She laid me clean out. I lied about how bad it was to her. Her power is strong.
I massage the lavender scented soap through her hair and give her a scalp massage. Little wolf is still sniffling, but also groaning with how good the massage feels. “Maybe that was a trace of Ayla. Her and her wolf are still bonding. Ayla didn’t get to grow into herself because she was abducted. She is doing that now. We just need to find a way to make sure she doesn’t kill someone all the time. I see no problems here. A little murder never hurt anybody.”
I roll my eyes, but he is right. Little wolf and Aramana are still figuring it out, much like we do as teenage pups. She is still becoming her shifter self, and I have all the time in the world to be patient and watch her grow. To help her grow. I also don’t fault her for defending me or herself. Had Della been a male wolf. I would have struck him dead as soon as he mentioned one wrong word to her. I just found myself wanting to give Della every last shred of possible doubt and hope I could. Not for me, or her, but for my parents. Unfortunately, Della made her own bed.
I know. I don’t fault Ayla. I was just hoping for a better turn out for Della. I link back, while washing out little wolf’s shampoo and starting on her conditioner. She is relaxed against me now and her tears have dried up. Unfortunately, she remains quiet.
“Yeah baby. Just like that. Go deeper. Fuck. Now Nicky, you come over here and stick this titty..”
I startle a little while working my fingers through little wolf’s hair, which she notices. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing. Cyrus forgot to close the mind??ink and I was hearing things I didn’t want to hear and now I am scarred for life.” 1 jest and she lets out a small breathless laugh. Close the damn mind??ink down dumbass.
I remind him while finishing little wolf’s hair. His mind??ink failure does remind me of something that may help little wolf perk up.
My soul has traveled long and far to find yours.
No mountain, nor sea, no thing of this world could keep us apart, because this is not my world you are.
I mind??ink little wolf while washing out her conditioner. Her audible gasp and spinning around with wide yes lets me know she in fact heard it. She probably has never mind??inked before, if she wasn’t connected to her wolf before her abduction. “I can hear you.” she shouts, and I give her a sly grin. “You can hear me, but can you use it too?” I ask her, curious and waiting. “How do I do it?” “Reach into your mind and think of me when you are talking in your head. The rest happens.” She takes a few moments to pause and her concentration face, much like the one when she was on her knees in front of me is adorable, but I can’t allow myself to go there. Little wolf needs rest. “Can you hear me? Am I doing it?” You are beautiful. I am so proud of you. I tell her and watch her face light up. I give her a quick kiss and pull her out of the tub, drying her off before curling her up next to me in bed. The rest can wait until tomorrow.
Ayla
I had fitful sleep. Every wrong word planted in my head by Della seemed to trigger nightmares I thought were long forgotten. Thane was there to wake me and comfort me every time. His warmth cocooned me all night and his sweet words made me truly feel safe in his arms. It is kind of scary how much I need him and have to stop myself meditating on the wrong thoughts of losing him that try to creep in. I woke up this morning tucked soundly in the bedroom adjoining the nest but felt an empty bed when I reached over to find Thane. In his place, a note.
Little Wolf;
I had to run into the pack to start meetings first thing this morning.
