Thane
The next few days after little wolf’s heat were spent resting and eating. We are back at the pack house now. I am currently awaiting intel video footage of a possible base camp for the trafficking ring of at the very least a place where the leader frequents based on the digital paper trail my team uncovered. Little wolf is baking away in the kitchens. She enjoys it, but it took a lot of reassurances to the kitchen staff that their luna was in fact safe and able to work in the kitchens. Yes, they are shoked but I want little wolf to feel productive and flourishing before she even thinks about taking on anything in the luna role. She isn’t used to pack life as an adult. I want her self worth to be where it needs to be. I want her confident. If baking in the kitchens provides that and makes her happy, so be it. If anyone has a problem with that, they know where the pack transfer papers are.
A knock on the door pulls me out of my mapping “Hey, I got the info Cyrus enters and sits down to share with me what Damon found at the knew potential trafficking site. “This here is the aerial photo of the entire compound itself. The place is huge and heavily guarded. They observed a high flow of traffic daily of normal vehicles, nothing military. This second photo is of two girls brought into the compound yesterday, looking battered. The third photo is of an alpha shifter that arrived in a luxury vehicle. The others bowed before him. It has to be our guy.” I review the photos from Cyrus and finally see the face of the shifter that ruined my life, little wolf’s life, and countless others. He is a smug, fat bastard. No alpha in their right mind would ever let go of themselves in that way. Clearly he isn’t fighting any border wars.
The aerial shots of the compound are terrifying. So close to the northern border, if they were able to cross, we may never find them. It’s all dense wilderness. Millions of places for hideouts and too large of an area to comb over. “The distance of this one alone would suggest that little wolf is from far more northern than you realize. If the order to keep her came from up there, she likely did too.” I take that information in, trying to decide when and if to discuss this with little wolf. I need too, but the idea of telling her how far away we need to go right after her heat upsets me.
“We need to get the rest of the team together and plan this raid out. This far away, we would have to set up camp multiple times, I don’t want any mistakes and we need to keep it to elite team members only. I don’t need the car bomber finding out.” I put the folder back on my desk and decide I need to check on my little wolf.
“How are things going in the kitchen little wolf?”
“Great! Making cookies. How’s your day going?” She asks and I can feel the warmth in the bond and the smile in her voice.
“Oh perfect. Cyrus is rambling something about mind??ink sex stomping out of my office. Can I come take you away for a little bit?
“We can’t. I’m not done with the cookies.”
“We can. Need I remind you that I am the alpha and you are the luna? We can do what we want little wolf.”
“I will feel bad.”
“I will show you my dimples.”
“Fine.”
“I will be down in a little bit to get you.”
I plan on taking little out. Another first and it gives me more time to judge this leaving conversation with her. I take out my phone and reserve a seat at a good restaurant and leave to pick up little wolf. Once she is in my arms, the world is right again and we head to the cabin getting ready then the world tilts on its axis when little wolf asks to go on the raid with us. “No. Absolutely not. I know a week to ten days is a long time apart, but the answer to that isn’t to put you in danger Ayla.” “It isn’t about the length of time away. I understand this is a big opportunity to take the ring down. It is what I can do. I can shield you Thane. I can’t just pretend I can’t do that knowing that you are putting yourself in danger. I couldn’t live without you and I can help prevent that.” “I couldn’t live without you either. This is a combat situation. I can’t concentrate if I think you are in danger. We haven’t tested your powers yet. We don’t know how long you can hold a shield.” “I held one when you were poisoned Thane.” “Yes, but that wasn’t in a high stress, triggering environment. What happens if you see someone and a memory comes back. Maybe it is the same shifter? You could panic or worse.” “Well, if I??ecognize a shifter and I am with you then I can point him out and you can get??evenge for me.” “Fair point little wolf, but the answer remains no.” I haven’t needed to be firm with little wolf, outside of trying to get her to eat during her heat, but this is her safety. I can’t agree to it.
“I care about you and the safety of this pack. I also care about the girls that are there. Seeing a female with you would help.” “We have female fighters little wolf.” “None with my story, Thane.” “There won’t be time to tell your story Ayla.” “I could keep bullets away from you.” “We don’t even know if it is bullet proof Ayla and I am not going to find out.”
