Fates Hands novel Chapter 84

Chapter 19–Book 2

Agent David got the call from his partners that the woman Kathy Fosters had escaped and there was no trace of her anywhere. They are continuing to look but they didn’t have any realistic hopes. Those types of people can disappear quickly.

He wasn’t too upset that they lost that witness but they now had Nova and Maggi is turning into not only a valuable source of information but David has kinda taken a liking to her, it was against the rules but you only live once.2

He was still not happy with the way things are going, yes, they have a lot of witnesses, what they don’t have a lot of is evidence. Agent David was thinking about a few things that were said by his daughter. Agent David

decided it was time to go and check out James Springer’s shed.

He is going to need a search warrant as an FBI Agent, but if say perhaps a friend happens upon the shed and decides to see what is inside then decides that it was just too horrible and went to tell his FBI Buddy about it. Well, who’s to say what happens next.

Agent David was more of a by-the book kinda guy, however as he got older and closer to moving on from the FBI he found himself getting sick of the bureaucrats that have to file a thousand pages to get a pencil from the supply closet.

Always wanting to put in their opinion, when they have no clue about what they are talking about.

With that, he went looking for Jack.

Jack was outside on the greeting steps waiting with Nova for their guests to arrive. He was excited to show her off and give her another chance to make more friends. He hoped that she would hit it off with Adira. He chuckled to himself, there wasn’t a doubt that they won’t hit it off.

Everyone in the clan is in love with their new, Luna. Luna’s are a wolf thing but since the names for the female leaders of WereBears are called Sow’s, the Clan decided when it was formed to call their highest rank lady a luna too.

Jack couldn’t think of any female that would like to be called a Sow, even if it was supposed to be a term of respect. Frankly, he wasn’t too happy with his title of Boar, so the clan changed that to Alpha as well.

At least until they could come up with more flattering terms. He was toying with the Ursa direction but had not come up with anything solid. Perhaps he should consult Nova on it.

Werebears are more of solitary creatures, they don’t form big Clans. This Clan was the first of its kind. They started small but now they are almost 1000 strong in just a short amount of time. This is something that should become more of the norm with Werebears.

As he was coming out of his thoughts three SUVs pulled up in front of him. The first one out was Duncan he was all smiling. He went around the car to open the other door, helping his mate Adira out of the car. She was radiant as always.

She was all smiles too as she gave Jack a big hug. She then went over to

Nova and gave her a big hug as well. Nova was a bit surprised but she started smiling.

“You must be Jack’s mate Nova, you probably have so many questions, I will answer all I can. I am Wolf though not Bear but a shifter is a shifter. I must show you all the new pictures of our pup, Alex, he is a little handful.”

Others were waiting to say hello as well, Archer looking like the stoic god as always, came over and shook Jack’s hand. He smiled when he greeted Nova.

“Whoa, careful there Archer don’t want your face to crack.”

Duncan looked at Jack and then at Archer. He started to laugh.

“Well if you must know, I have been ‘informed by your sister, Duncan that

I have to loosen up more. Make myself more approachable. She has

even taken the liberty of going through my wardrobe to make it more modern.”

They all started laughing, Duncans sister Marnie is a tell you like it is kinda girl. Never takes no for an answer either. Duncan was glad he wasn’t on that side of Marnie anymore.

After everyone was greeted, Jack motioned for them to come inside and get comfortable. Handing out refreshments and snacks to everyone.

Duncan started right off into the subject.
