Chapter 9

“How are you feeling, son?”

Gabriel blinked, sitting up. The purple haze still surrounded him, pressing down on his head, but it didn’t bother him. If anything, it felt kind of nice to have its presence, like a warm old blanket draped over his shoulders.

“Better.” He stretched his hands over his shoulder. His shoulder cracked, which made it loosen up. “Much more like myself, thank you, Father.”

His supreme Alpha smiled at the woman next to him, who laughed, wringing her hands together. Gabriel couldn’t place this woman in his memory, but it made him thrilled that she made his father so happy.

“I told you I could do it, my love.”

His father stroked the woman’s hair. “I had no doubt. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have him back. He was always supposed to be with me, you know. I never expected they’d hold out this long.”

“Kanes are remarkably stubborn. I should know.”

“Have I been somewhere, Father?”

Kendrick looked at the woman again. “His mind seems gone. Will he even be able to remember all his training?”

“All of it. The only details gone are the ones I wanted removed.”

“Great.” Kendrick tapped the bed. “Stand up, Gabriel.”

Always happy to oblige, he stood. His muscles felt tight but then they unkinked. As if he’d been carrying around the world’s problems on his shoulders. But then again he had no idea why he ever would have felt that way.

Do you know?

His wolf yawned. Not a clue.

Kendrick sat back on a countertop. “We have a problem.”

“Any problem that you have, my Alpha, is my problem.” No one would harm his father while he took breath into his body.

“Your brothers have formed a revolution against me and I need someone to lead my army. I want that someone to be you.”

Something stirred inside him. A thought. He couldn’t grasp it and it floated away into the purple haze. “Yes, my Alpha. As you wish.”

“Good.” Kendrick moved forward. “Let’s go see if you can still do what I need you to do.”

His wolf wagged his tail. They were going to go do some sort of fighting. There was nothing either of them enjoyed more than violence, particularly if they got to wield it on Kendrick’s behalf.

With an ease to his step, he followed his father. Wherever they were—and really Gabe had no idea where they were located—it smelled funny. He sniffed the air again. “Where are the woods, Father?”

Kendrick turned around, an eyebrow raised. “The woods?”

“Westervelt. I can’t smell it anywhere.” And he should. He knew that much. Westervelt meant home and home meant … who? An image of a red-haired woman with the biggest brown eyes briefly surfaced in his mind before it poofed out of existence.

“We’re taking back Westervelt. Do you understand?”

“Yes.” It just seemed hard to keep ideas in his head. Oh well. He shrugged. Really, what did it matter?

I don’t seem to care. His wolf hiccupped and a big puff of purple haze escaped through his mouth.

You look funny.

His wolf scratched his side.
