“Can we help you boys?”
My dad asks, looking at us curiously.
“We really have a busy day, so whatever you are up to needs to be quick.”
Beta Daniel says in a clipped voice.
“What we have to say is important, and it’s going to take a while.”
Kota shoots back at him.
“We don’t have time for your teenage shenanigans today boys ”
Beta Daniel starts. I wonder if he has always been this condescending to us. Either way, I really just want to break his nose.
I turn my glare on him. “This meeting also requires Delta Kyle, Gamma Brett and mom. If you want this handled quickly, gather everyone and we can get started.
“What is this about, boys? Clearly you are worked up and it’s enough to have you out of bed at six on a Sunday morning.”
My dad is trying to be sympathetic. He, at least, lets us have an opinion and then helps us work through it or correct it if we are wrong.
“We need your input on a situation and it’s a story we don’t plan on telling more than once.”
I say as my mother comes into the room.
“What happened? Is everyone okay?”
She does a quick scan of the group. “Where’s Skylar? If Sierra is here, why is Sky missing?
“We need everyone here first.”
I say again.
“Now I’m worried, you boys have never been secretive before.”
Dad sneaks a look at my mom. They are having their own private conversation.
I just sit, I’m not saying it again. My wolf is getting angrier by the moment. Sky was right, we have never had to really deal with pack situations, even with all the training’ we do. They don’t trust us to handle anything and have never forced us to handle things. They are more concerned with the fact that we are out of bed early, than the fact we have requested a meeting with the whole leadership.
Delta Kyle and Gamma Brett rush in. “What’s going on?”
Kyle asks, taking in the same group assessment that my mom did. “Where’s Skylar? Is she okay?”
The two people who know she is going through things noticed she was the only one missing from our group. Neither my father or her own cared to notice.
“How long have you been helping Sky with her injuries from her bullies?”
I look between the Delta and my mom, not wasting any time.
“Long enough, why do you ask?”
Delta Kyle crosses his arms, making him look wider than he already is.
“Did you know about her being whipped?”
I keep my eyes trained right on him.
“Yes, I have been giving her the salve to help the scars the silver powder made.”
The delta keeps his face composed, but I see the tick in his cheek from clenching his jaw. My mother gasps and covers her mouth. The silver powder was news to her, interesting. Gamma Brett moves closer to her, concern flashing in his eyes briefly.
“Did you know that wasn’t the first time she was whipped?”
Olivers asks, catching on to what I was doing.
“What do you mean, wasn’t the first time?'”
