The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 84 What Kind Of Shifter?

Josy My name is August and I wrote this journal for my Kittens. I wanted them to know about their family, about what happened to some of our kind and how most of us coped with it. I am one of the lucky few that found his fated Mate in their own kind; I am grateful for the time I had with her and the time she had with our Kittens. I look up at the boys and I see both of them staring at me. "Do you know how we got these journals?" I ask, but neither one of them can tell me. "Alpha Lakota found her second chance Mate when we were traveling towards this territory, but Jake was fatally wounded by Rogues and he died in her arms. Jake asked Lance to give her the journals, but it took five years before she was ready to finally read them, and that is when she found out that Jake was a Mountain Lion. Jake is the only Mountain Lion any of us has ever met, but we also have two Leopards in our Pack. One of them is Tychon and the other is his Sister, Denali," I say before I pick up the journal again and continue with August's story. Before I am finished with his first entry, the boys are fast asleep, and I carry them both back to their bed, tucking them in before I kiss them goodnight. Like every night, after I put them both back in their bed, I sit down next to Mano and tell him how Ivan and Malik are doing. "I know that you aren't a Leopard or Mountain Lion, nor are you a Wolf or a Lycan, and I don't care. I just wish I knew what kind of shifter you are; if I had to guess I would go with a Bear. You are huge, so that would make sense to me. Then my next question would be, what kind of Bear. A Black Bear, a Kodiak Bear or a Grizzly Bear. That one would be a bit more difficult to guess; I think I would go with a Grizzly Bear. Jazzy asked me if it mattered what kind of shifter you are, and I told her it didn't.It truly doesn't matter to me; I just want you to wake up. We don't know the details of what happened and neither do Malik and Ivan, but we all want you to wake up. If you are in trouble we might be able to help or keep you and the boys hidden from whoever killed your family." After I am done talking, I place a kiss on his forehead and then I turn in for the night. When I wake in the morning I find Ivan curled up in my side and Malik behind him with an arm wrapped around his Brother. The first morning I woke up with them in my bed I almost screamed, but I managed to keep it to a soft squeal, and every morning I wake up with a smile on my face. They trust me, and this is their way of showing me that they care for me. Today will be the first time they are going to class with the Pups, and both of them had been excited when I asked them if they wanted to go. Ivan wasn't sure at first, but when I told them what their classes would be about, he was more than happy to go. It will be my first day back at the diner, and Tychon promised to drop them off after class is over. They can make their homework in the diner, and it will give me a chance to check if everything went smoothly during my absence. I know Conan and Kanoa would have come to me with trouble, but they also understood I wanted to be there for Ivan and Malik. "Good morning, my Angels. It is time to wake up and to get dressed," I say as I kiss both of them on the top of their heads. "Good morning, Josy," Malik says before he pulls me closer to give me a kiss on my cheek. Ivan seems to be a little more reluctant to wake up, and I pull him onto my chest as I softly call his name. He slowly opens his eyes, and when he looks at me with those bright green eyes of his, I kiss him on his forehead. "Come on, sleeping beauty. Time to get ready for your classes," I say, and he huffs as he tries to get out of my arms. "Now that I want to cuddle, you're in a hurry to get out of bed, aren't you?" I say, and Ivan shakes his head as he wraps his arms around my neck.Ivan needs a little time to wake up while Malik is ready to go the moment he opens his eyes; this is my way of giving Ivan a little more time. I think both of them know what I am doing, but neither one of them says anything about it. Ivan rushes into my bathroom as Malik gets out, and he walks to their room to get them both some clothing. I head to the bathroom when Ivan and Malik go to see Mano, and when I get to his room our breakfast is already waiting. Ivan tells Mano that they will be gone all day, but that Alice will check up on him every few hours and that they will tell him all about their day during dinner. They kiss him on the cheek before they walk out of his room, and as I follow them I say over my shoulder, "See you later, Mano." I drop the boys off with Mylana and I meet Conan and Kanoa outside the Pack-house; we talk about the past week as we walk towards the diner. Peter had taken a design from the Humans, and luckily the Archives of the Council contained a blueprint. We made some adjustments to accommodate us better, but no major ones, and I smile when I see the 1950's style diner appear in front of me.
