Chapter 57
“They did, but the trails went cold. It screams, set up, but no way to prove it. Like I said, mafia level shit Austin.” He replied.
Keep us posted if you find out anything else on Rising Moon and Sydney. Also, see if we can keep tabs on Alpha Kaden. We may need to reach out to the council and tell them about the rogue attack and what we were told by Carter.” I say.
“All those ‘crimes‘ and nothing sticks? Doesn’t that seem odd to you?” Rebel asks. “Renz, can you find me information on the council too? It doesn’t make sense that there isn’t any proof. What if the council is in league with Kaden?” She says.
I hate to admit it, because the councils are supposed to uphold wolf laws, but my mate has a point. How is it possible nothing sticks, unless the council is helping Kaden get away with everything?
“Agreed. Renz, let’s dig into the council as well. We may need our council involvement if the northeastern side is compromised.” I say.
“I will get working on it right away.” With that Renz leaves the office.
I turn to my mate with a list of books to get her started, but first, I need to calm her down. I may want to bend her over my desk right now, but that is not what she needs at the moment. I pull her into my arms and inhale her scent. It’s calming my anger and concern right now too.
While we hold each other, I remember a question I wanted to ask Rebel. Since we are alone, I want to talk to her about it and no one will hear it and try to use it against her.
“Rebel, darling, I wanted to ask you about something you’ve mentioned a couple of times,” I begin, “You said the night I met you and after fighting the rogues that Roxie runs through her energy faster than other wolves. Now I’ve seen you fight and run. You both are in excellent shape and have a lot of stamina and it doesn’t make sense that you both are so tired afterwards. Do you know what causes this fatigue in you both?”
Rebel looks at me and I can see she is thinking how to answer me. Clearly, she doesn’t know why, but she’s never really talked about it either. “Rebel baby, whatever it is, we can work on fixing it. You have to tell me though.” I encourage. Any weakness she has, I’m sure we can work on it, but I can’t fix problems I don’t know about.
I see her eyes changing and I can tell her and Roxie are trying to figure out how to explain this to me. Even though my mate loves me and has let herself be happy with me, she is still struggling with some trust issues. It saddens me to know that this is a lifetime of hurt caused by people who were supposed to protect and failed her.
I wait patiently, sending love, encouragement and calm through our bond.
She sighs and looks at me, “I honestly don’t know what causes it Austin. It’s not like my father had the pack doctors looking me over. I never told them when I was hungry because they didn’t care whether or not late. Remember, I had to feed myself. I will say, over the last few days that I’ve been here, I haven’t felt it as much.”
“How about I take you to see Dr. Hadley? She’s one of our pack doctors. Let’s have her give you a physical, blood work, whatever else she thinks is necessary to make sure you are healthy. If there is something going on, let’s face it together, okay?” As I finish speaking, I see the look of nervousness in her eyes. “Baby, I know first times for you make you uncomfortable. But I promise there is nothing to fear, and you won’t look weak going to the
