Chapter 180
JAMES: I link dad. “Do you have a minute?” “Yes.” “We are going to have to head in the direction of the lake tonight.” “Shit that’s right I almost forgot about that.” “I kind of figured that with the Stone Claw issue and all.” “Thank you.” “Welcome.” I then take Janica by the hand and pull her with me into the family dining area, I check the room to make sure no one is around. “We are going to have to make a show of staying here tonight.” I tell her. She nods her understanding. “It will be good to have you finally be able to feel the bond.” She says. I nod.
LIAM: I don’t like all this talk of war, it scares me. But I am grateful for the fact that I can provide a slight distraction from the tension building around the issue of the war. I miss Kes too, I swear that once Jessie is gone I am going to make her bind me like she did Mackie. Once breakfast is over I go make the announcement for the first 2 players for the dart tournament. Like the pool tourney this one will take a bit of time too because we only have one dart board. Oh well. But we don’t have to keep score on this one either because the dart board we have does it for you, all we have to keep track of is how many throws the players make to reach 501. It will be fun to watch.
JESSIE: The anticipation for tonight is running high in me, midnight tonight, it’s going to be so amazing I will get to meet my wolf, and my mate all in one night. Right now, I need to settle my nerves, I am pretty high on the list for the darts tournament, and I have to concentrate on that. I link Nana. “Nana can I come run the course?” “Of course you can.” “Thanks Nana.” “Welcome dear.” I get dressed in a sports bra and biker shorts, and head over to Nana’s. I get one round in, and I had started the second when my phone dinged. I stopped and checked it. (Please come to the marquee, you will be up in one more round.) I read. “Thanks Nana.” I call out, “I have to go I’m up to next to play darts.” “Have fun and good luck.” She call back. I run back to the Pack house to wipe down and dress in a summer dress that highlights my blue eyes, and head back downstairs so that I am ready when they call for the next players.
TREVER: After Kes had fed us the three of us headed out, again Dutch and I leave the cabin naked, I just loved to see her flustered, it’s so adorable. When we get closer to the tree line the both of us shift, I take our clothes, and Dutch picks up Mackie and we take of at a run. We make it back in time to catch the second match, in our Lycan form we can average about 20 miles per hour at a dead run, but we didn’t go all out maybe only half speed, we didn’t want to be tired when we got there. Again, we stop before we break the tree line, and shift back, get redressed and walk to the pack house. I link Barrett to find out about any news that we should know that we might have missed. “Barrett any news?” “There was an attack on a small pack, but they survived, thank the goddess, but Drake feels that Stone Claw was behind it, and that we need to inform as many small packs as possible to save them.” “Do we actually know for sure that it was Stone Claw or was it simply a rouge attack?” “I can’t honestly say, I think they will be holding more meetings to get everyone up to speed, and on the same page.”
