Sanctuary A Hidden Pack New Edition (by Ylyanah) novel Chapter 19

Keir

Echo comes to a sudden stop when he sees a male leaning against a boulder in the middle of the forest, and we slowly make our way over to him as we take in the injuries he has sustained. "Please, just end me. I have nothing left to live for," the male whispers, and Echo howls sadly.

I take control back to take a better look at the male, and I ask him what happened to him, who did this to him. Quinn walks up to us with the bag Doc gave me in her hand, and I quickly give him something to lessen the pain, but from what I can see, I fear he might not survive his injuries.

"He is a Delta; he should be able to survive. Unless he has really given up on life," Echo says, and as we take care of his wounds, I introduce myself to him, explaining to him why we are there and where we are going.

"Alpha Keir, my Mate just rejected me because he didn't want a male for a Mate. He doesn't want anyone to know he prefers males.

He took me here to reject me and to kill me, but something stopped him from finishing the job. I doubt there is a Pack willing to accept a same-sex couple," he answers my previous question.

"I accept everyone for who they are; their sexual preference is none of my business, and as my Daughter would say, why the hell would I doubt the Goddess," I mumble.

It takes me a while to clean his wounds, but by the time I am done, most of them are starting to heal with the help of his Wolf, and I shift back to Echo to take him with us. Alice gets him some clothes to change into, and I explain to them what has happened to him.

Lotus roars as she hears what his Mate did to him, and Darrius looks at her with confusion in his eyes.

"Darrius, that is Lotus. She is my Daughter's Lycan, and she hates injustice more than anyone I have ever met. She is more vocal than Lakota, but when it comes down to it, Lakota is more cunning than her Lycan," I say, and I see a smile appear on his face.

Echo decides he will carry Darrius until we stop for dinner, giving his Wolf some extra time to heal his Human, and soon we are on our way again. Darrius drifts off to sleep on my back, and Lance places Josh behind him to make sure he doesn't tumble off.

We travel through the forest parallel to the dirt road that leads to another Pack, and I silently thank Lance for suggesting we travel through the forest with one Warrior keeping an eye on the road. Lance has been putting the safety of this Pack before anything, proving to me that he will make an excellent Beta for Lakota.

Quinn has taken the lead with Colton, and Lakota and Lance have taken up the rear. The Warriors surround the rest of the Pack-members while they take turns watching the road.

Lynn is talking about our new Pack and that she wants to become a Warrior, making Alice look a bit uncomfortable.

"If you train hard enough and learn the smart way to pick your opponents, I am sure you can become anything you want," Sela says, and I see a huge smile appear on Lynn's face, but for some reason Alice still looks uncomfortable.

"Alice, she is right. If Lynn learns how to fight and is smart about picking her fights, she will be able to become a Warrior," I tell her through the mind-link.

She thanks me for at least allowing Lynn to try to become something other than an Omega, and I ask Alice if there was something she had wanted to do.

"I wanted to become a Doctor; I even have my degree for medicine. However, my former Mate's Father didn't believe I could be anything other than an Omega, and he refused my request to prove myself," Alice answers.

"Well, you better start digging up that knowledge, Doctor Alice," I say, and she nearly loses her balance. Sela is quick enough to grab her arm while Lynn asks what is wrong. Alice tells them what we had been talking about through the mind-link and that she had been stunned when I called her Doctor Alice.
