Healing

I had just finished another shift of watching baby Avery. Emma was doing well and Kai was in the basement with Jeremy and Alek. Today was day five of feeding him clean blood and they were testing whether or not he could be let free. I sat there playing with Luna when Alexa knocked on the door.

“Come in!” I shouted.

She came in holding a tablet. “We might have some more trouble,” she said. Alexa and Jameson were so damn cute together. I was really happy for her.

“What’s up?” I stood.

The tablet flickered in her hand. Alexa had a gift of shorting out appliances and lights. She could make an EMP blast and take out entire buildings. She was inarguably our most valuable wolf.

I took the tablet from her and saw a news clip. “We’re live and humans have stationed themselves at the base of Mount Hood. They are requesting a meeting with the wolves,” a newswoman said and the camera panned to a scene that showed the humans at our farthest check point. Some militia members and Anna were holding them back. Shit.

Kai burst into the room then, as I continued to watch the screen. One man wheeled a frail woman with no hair forward. “Is it true that if you change a human into a werewolf, they won’t have disease or get sick? Please change my wife. Save her!” he shouted. The other humans shouted Change me! Change me!

“Shit,” Kai said and started running outside.

“Stay here,” I ordered Alexa and ran after him.

We ran to the base of the mountain in human form and slowed when we saw reporters so we wouldn’t scare them with our super speed. Seriously? Could we catch a break? It was one drama after another, but I guess that was life. The militia had barricaded the small two-lane road with two pick-up trucks parked sideways. There were a dozen humans and a cameraman with the reporter. Kai leapt up into the back of the pick-up truck making the humans go quiet.

“I am going to say this one time, so listen up!” Kai said with a deep, booming Alpha voice. “We do not change humans for fun. We have rules that our society has followed for thousands of years. If the rules are broken, wolves die. I can speak for every wolf alive when I say that we will NOT be changing humans to grow our numbers. Go home!” he roared.

A few of the younger teenagers wearing wolf t-shirts booed and walked away, but the man who stood behind his wife in the wheelchair came forward. She was in her early thirties, a breathing skeleton. I swallowed hard and tried to control my emotions. She reminded me of our Anna before we saved her.

“But to save a life? She’s terminal. One month to live.” The husband hunched over her wheelchair, a broken man looking for any option. He was maybe thirty-five years old, but this disease had aged them both beyond that. My heart hurt for them.
