Umayza After an amazing night with my Mates we are waiting in the Auditorium for Dad to show up, he went to his office to collect the journals Council-member Finlay collected for me at Night Shade Pack and I plan on reading them as we are driving to Silver Lotus Pack. Orion and Asilda just joined us and I ask Asilda how her meeting with Council-member Vivyanna went, “She didn’t like the fact that I told Orion, but she also put some of the blame on herself. She said that she never should have mentioned it out loud, but that she understood why I wanted to resign. After I told her I never wanted the position she looked rather shocked, but when I explained how my Mother had convinced me to take it anyway she blew a gasket and it wouldn’t surprise me if by the end of the day my Mother and my former Alpha received a call from her.” Asilda says and I know she is correct. Council-member Vivyanna hates it when someone gets belittled or get mentally abused, she hates physical abuse even more and I have witnessed it once that she had to deal with it. She may only have a Wolf, but she scared the shit out of that Lycan for abusing his Daughter. “Looks like you are going to be busy, Sis.” Orion says and I turn around to see Dad walk in with a box in his hands. He places it on the table with a thud and grins at me as he lifts the lid, it is filled up completely. I grab them out of the box and sort them by date, Asilda places sticky notes with numbers. She told me it would make it easier to keep track of the journals I had already read and the Council would have an easier task to label them, to keep them in the correct timeline. Conri and Evander place them back into the box as soon as we know which journal comes last and I keep the oldest journal in my hand. We have breakfast together before we get into Evander and Conri’s SUV, Orion is driving with Asilda in the passenger seat while Dad sits in the back row and Evander, Conri and I sit in the middle row with me stuck in the middle. I doubt my Mates would appreciate it if I took the seat next to Dad. The first journal is written by a female name Meagan and she lived two centuries before the War against Humankind took place. The first entries are to explain that she kept a journal as she grew up, but that her handwriting was terrible at that time and she rewrote all the pages she had written. She tells about the first time she relived a memory and how much it had freaked her out. Her parents hadn’t believed her until she was able to tell them something she couldn’t have known and they started to make her practice her ability. Her Father figured out they could make money with it if they handled things correctly and within a few months she had proven her worth to her parents. The Alpha of their Pack realized that she was a goldmine and with consent of her parents he forcefully marked her. She never had Pups herself, but her Brother’s Daughter had the gift as well and soon Night Shade Pack was known for the ability of perception. I read her complete story before we have our first stop and Dad hands me the second journal from the box. This journal is written by the second female in my family with the gift and I quickly realize she was as twisted as Calliope and Wenonah. She kept detailed information on her assignments and their outcome and I wonder if Calliope and Wenonah might have been this stupid. “Dad, can you check if the journals at the bottom belong to Calliope and Wenonah?” I ask him before I continue reading, but I don’t find any mention of side effects or why I was able to see the memory of the newborn boy. Conri turns in his seat to get me the third journal as Orion pulls over at a diner. Conri holds onto the journal while he helps me get out of the SUV, Evander stays close behind me as we walk towards the diner. Orion and Asilda are near the door when I hear a growl coming from behind us and I see Asilda pale. Conri pulls me behind him and Evander steps closer to him while Dad steps next to Orion, “This doesn’t concern you, Lycans. Hand over the female, Pup.” A male calls out towards us and I look around Conri to see a rather angry male standing in front of us. He looks a bit unkempt with messy hair and clothes that hadn’t seen water and soap in a very long time, “Orion, I thought the days of dealing with shady Werewolves was over.” I say as I look the male in the eyes and he growls loudly, but then his companion steps out of his hiding place. “Asilda belongs to my Pack and as her Alpha, I have the right to bring her home.” The bulky male says and Yade is rolling in the aisles. That calls himself an Alpha, he looks even worse than the other male and I start to feel sorry for his Mate. “Sorry, but last time I checked, anyone that works for the Council doesn’t answer to an Alpha and that makes your claim bullshit.” I say. Asilda did resign, but Council-member Vivyanna had refused to release her from duty until she had found a Pack willing to accept her and right now I am grateful for that decision. Not that it mattered because she is mated to Orion and Orion is a part of Silver Lotus Pack, making her a member of Silver Lotus as well. “Asilda resigned…” He starts to say, but I interrupt him immediately. “Maybe so, but her Mate is a member of Silver Lotus Pack and that automatically means she is a member as well.”
