Chapter 168
DRAKE: I take her out to the front of the pack house and watch Larz drive off. The whole while I am watching Jessie’s face and demeanor. I see a flash of something in her eyes, but she masked it before I could really see, but I hope that now she will just stop whatever she is trying to do. “I have some meetings I need to get back to.” I say and go back into the house. I open a link to the front gate guards. “There is a car leaving, a man and a woman sitting in the back seat, if Jessie should ask any of you that is Keska got it.” “Yes Alpha.” I then close the link and head back to my office.
KESKA: I pull out the laptop after breakfast dishes are cleaned and put back. I call Mackie over. “I want to find out about this war that happened with Stone Claw over a 100 years ago.” I tell her. “Yeah the more we know the better prepared we can be now.” She agrees. I actually let her take control of the computer as I am not that good with the thing, she likes to tease me that I am lucky that I can turn the thing on without it crashing. Through our search we find that what had been discussed at Nana’s was the norm for the pack, they would travel in a zigzag pattern across the state or states acquiring rouges, and the smaller packs that couldn’t stand up to them, and make them train and then fight in their makeshift army. No wonder the packs back then did what they did. We also found that it was a mate issue back then as well, only it was in the Alpha line, as the story goes, the third born son of the alpha took a chosen mate, and she found her fated mate and left the pack to be with him. Then due to all the destruction that Stone Claw caused marching across the states, the four biggest packs moved against them in a coordinated and strategic strike. But there was nothing about the marking issue in anything we found online. “I wonder if they didn’t know about it, and that’s why it’s not mentioned.” I state to Mackie. “Possible, and the text from Cold Moon is from their own elder, and historian.” She tells me. I nod “I would like to know what is in them though.” I tell her. “Well, you can always ask for a copy, the worst he can do is say no.” “True.” I link father. “Father, sorry to interrupt you, but do you think it would be possible to get a copy to the text from Cold Moon?” “I will see what I can do. And by the way, I told and showed Jessie that I was sending you to Burning Ember until the ball was over.” “Ok, showed?” “Long story, but I had someone pose as you, leaving.” “Thank you.” I close the link, and turn to Mackie, “you need to go back to the pack house, you can go hang with Dutch, or whatever, but you have to go back.” I tell her. “Why?” “Because father in his infant wisdom told, and showed Jessie he sent me to Burning Ember, and that means, me, by myself. And if you’re not around she will get suspicious, because she won’t see you.” I tell her. “He really didn’t think that one through did he.” She says. I shake my head. “Oh well hopefully it will only be until Wednesday.” I say to her. She just sighs. She gathers her things and heads out to go back to the pack house. After she leaves, I grab my bow and some arrows and head out to do some target practice, I can’t go to the range, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t shoot.
