Chapter 8

Keegan walked up the gravel driveway to the large mini-mansion tucked in the northeast corner of the den. The large estate was as beautiful as the female living in it.

The only female whose presence offered Keegan true peace.

That alone should have sent him packing and forced him to stay far away from her because the last thing he wanted was a female in his life. He should have had Shay bring the journal. His daughter was one of the very few who didn’t trigger the Scribe’s sensitivity to touch that caused Addyson horrific pain, but the quiet inside his head was too addicting, too comforting.

So, yeah, he was a selfish ass, but he also wanted to check on her. As the Alpha, he had a right to check on his Pack members.

Addyson was the only known Scribe still living. She’d come to Ashwood just before the merger of the two Packs thirty years ago, broken and afraid of everyone. Keegan had recognized her for what she was and understood her fear.

Scribes had the powerful ability to see the history of objects and to see the sins of people through skin-to-skin contact. After he got her safe inside the den and had gained her trust not to bring pain or any harm to her, she had told him she’d escaped from a dungeon inside the rogues’ hideout. The rogues had subjected her to a sensory overload by carelessly touching her bare skin and not allowing her to protect herself.

Fury had ignited through his veins, and he had ordered the hideout to be destroyed. That was the only time Keegan had been able to give those bastards what they deserved. After that, the rogues moved from place to place and stayed on the move.

It still pissed him off to think about the kinds of things Addyson had seen when they touched her and the pain it had caused her. She’d been nearly insane when she stumbled across the wards surrounding Ashwood Falls.

That was also when Keegan discovered she had a natural shield against his mind-bending and telepathy. He couldn’t help her by taking the images from her and mending her mind. She had to heal on her own.

She still wouldn’t tell him, or anyone, about her time in captivity other than they’d touched her arms and face as a punishment of some sort. He bet they were purposely trying to drive her insane.

Bastards.

Some members of the Pack whispered that she wasn’t sane at all, something Keegan put a stop to as soon as he heard the childish rumors.

Scribes were generally submissive and loners because contact with others pained them to the core and threatened their sanity.

When he reached the front porch, he listened. A faint humming reached his supernatural hearing that made him smile. Instead of climbing the stairs, he turned to his right and strode around the house.

In the back yard, he spotted Addyson squatting in the middle of her garden, patting down the dirt of a recently planted rose bush.
