The Luna of Gray Stone pack is dead. Their Alpha is a wreck, and so is my little brother. His mate is going to be devastated when we bring her home because her mom is gone. My brother Theo, his full name is Theodore, but we call him Theo. He’s beside himself.
I don’t know how to make him feel better other than get him in the gym. My connection with my siblings' emotions make it very hard to process. I want to burn the world down for him.
I hope to talk to you soon, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Alexander
P.S. I could make it an incredibly fast recovery for you. I’m just saying, I’ve got healing hands.
I hit send. Then cursed myself, “I have healing hands?! GOD! Oden, why didn’t you stop me from saying that?!” Oden snickered, “I liked it and it’s true.” I closed my eyes and went to sleep. I told myself we’d have everything settled soon.
I was wrong. Weeks passed by with nothing but us being on the kidnappers’ tails. I ran drills with our Warriors. We’d gottenour response time where I wanted it. I hadn’t heard back from Ashley though, which was putting me on edge.
The only thing that kept me calm was re-watching videos of Melanie dancing. She was truly mesmerizing. The way she moved was incredible. I was so frustrated with our lack of progress on finding Jane. It was clear Theo’s mate had been taken into the Undergrounds. The real ones not the ones we had been to.
We’d found her blood at different places. Theo was in the gym more often with me than he ever was before. The only good news was we were finally on their tails. I needed to see Melanie. I locked my door and watched her dance.
As soon as the dance ended. My email dinged. I smiled when I saw Ashley’s email address. I read the first line.
Alpha Duke,
I snorted because no matter how many times I told her to call me Alexander. Ashley called me Alpha Duke.I started to get hard and cursed myself. I kept reading.
I am in a band. I thought you knew that. We are kind of popular. Well I mean... pretty popular. Obviously not like crazy popular if you don’t know us. I mean you guys know everything. So probably not super popular at all.
We do ok. We sound good…. if I do say so myself. I mean my bandmates are talented. That’s what I mean. Not like I sound good. I’m not bragging I swear… My bandmates though… They are great. We are more like family…than just bandmates.
I don’t think we’d be Elise’s style. I mean we play a broad range of music. I could send you an audio clip of us performing…. I could do that. That’s a thing I could do. Does that work as a compromise? Please say it does. I don’t want you to be mad.
Honestly….our shows are fairly private, and the band is… particular... me... well... all of us... mostly me. .Just… let’s say that. I’m weird. Let’s move on.
As far as what happened to me, I don’t really remember the accident. I remember there was one, but not the accident itself. It comes to me in weird flashes. My doctor said that was normal. My friend was UNHAPPY… so very unhappy. Said friend wanted more details.
I wished I had them. I’m trying to piece together what happened. None of my other friends are talking about it. So, it’s probably bad. I mean it’s fine... totally fine… Why would I say bad? I don’t know… I’m just talking crazy over here. They probably don’t want to push memory issues… Yup that’s totally it. Nothing bad.
I’m not marked so there is no need to sharpen your broadsword or anything. Or I mean… any type of sword you want. You could obviously use any type of sword… and that would be fine. You can do whatever you want.
I don’t want you to get in trouble for me. I couldn’t live with it if you did. You’d hate me once you knew, and I can't do that. I can’t… not you. I know you love your brother and your dad. I can’t let you do that for me. I’ll be ok. I can handle stupid jerks. I’ve been doing it my whole life. I’ve got a system.
I’m very sorry about your brother. I cannot imagine his pain or yours. I’m sure you will find the women that were kidnapped. Nothing can stand in your way when you set your mind to it.
Ashley
I was a little sad because normally I got a P.S. I sat back thinking over her email. She’d said broadsword. Did Cayden tell her about me? I did favor a broadsword. My email dinged again.
Alpha Duke,
OH MY GOSH! Stupid computer! I was not done… and it sent… I don’t know why it does that. I wasn’t ready to hit send. I am VERY good with computers. I’m so nice to them and then it goes and is mean to me.
I am hurt by my computer’s actions… .it will go into a time out after this. Gosh... not like a real time out... I’m not a crazy person who puts inanimate objects into a corner… OH my gosh! I swear I’m not a weirdo.
It’s so kind of you to offer to heal me. I’m all good now and cleared by an overzealous doctor. I mean seriously… I was fine a few days ago but the doctor and my friends were ALL male about me being 100% or whatever. I mean... Doctors... right?
I mean... they aren’t bad or anything. Well, some are. You have bad apples in every profession… that’s just a fact. Literally all professions. This guy wasn’t a bad doctor... I’m actually grateful to him for helping and everything. It was nice of him. I probably sound ungrateful... dang… I’m really not. It was nice... I was just fine a few days ago... and moving on again.
The training offer. You just have no idea how much it means to me. Maybe someday… we could meet up and talk about it... I don't know when… but someday. Someday is a good time frame. Of course after we meet, you’d probably take it all back, but that’s just… umm well yeah. So, it’s an incredibly flattering offer. Someday.
Sparring with you... Just wow. I don’t know. You’re so good and you’re distractingly hot like OH MY GOSH! I DID NOT WRITE THAT! BYE!
