Annaâs POV~
We sparred for about two hours⦠I had just sprung off the ground to land an elbow to Falconâs ribs..when he flung his arm up to stop me. Sending me flying into the top of a tree. I yelled down âWhat the fuck was that!!? Holyyyy shit!â His face was a mass confusion âI donât knowâ¦I was just aiming to stop the attack.. I didnât mean to fling you. I mean..I donâtâ¦I didnâtâ¦well, what the fuck!?â I laughedâ¦and laughed again.. âThatâs some power youâve got there. Just gotta work on your delivery!â The entire pack was laughing..
âSoooâ¦I can control weather..every aspect of itâ¦you have mind sight..and whatever this telekinetic thing isâ¦.Realllyyy have to master that shit, though! And I wonder if thereâs anything more. We definitely need users manuals to guide us!â I laughed!
Axel is yelling âLet me down! Stop spinning me! Falcon! This isnât funny. Great! All the blood is rushing to my head! Anna! Make him stop! I really hate you, bro!â And Iâm laughing so hard my sides hurt. Falcon decided to practice his power with Axel as his guinea pig. He had him up..in the airâ¦he spun him like a baton through his fingers..hung him upside downâ¦sent him high into the air..letting him plunge back down, stopping him two feet above the ground.. and Axel looking like heâs going to hurl! Good times! Falcon was cracking himself up.. While Brady and Marcus were running back to the house. Which made me laugh harder, when Falcon closed the back doors and they both ran face first into them. He yelled âCowards! Come back and help me learn!â Playtime was over and we headed inside to clean up and get to work!
I am chasing myself down a rabbit hole with this whole Cyrus thing.. âAxel..Iâm stumped! Cyrus fell off the face of the planet nearly five years ago! Just walked away from his job. It looks like his mate died..and he disappeared. The second son is living with his mateâs pack in Canada. A non-ranked warrior..his name is Xavierâ¦and there is a girl, named Rebeccaâ¦twenty-threeâ¦mated and living with her mate in Georgia. Looks like they are lone wolves and has refused contact with her family after the mother died. Smart girl! Sooo helllpppp mee please???â
Axel is going about researching and I had just gotten a cup of coffee to relax withâ¦and the phone rang., âFalconâ Lindseyâs voice said âWeâre under attack.. Pete and your men have them on the run towards the north⦠but Falcon.. my daughtersâ¦helped Robert escape. We believe Allison contacted that Elmer fellow and this is the aftermath.â Falcon loop groans âKeep me updated.. the three of them know about Annalise and I will not take chances with her lifeâ¦even at the expense of your daughters!â
I laugh! âElmer! Oh Goddess! Thatâs funny! My new name for the douche! Elmer Fudd! Shhhâ¦be vewwy quiet! Iâm hunting wabbits! Hah! Love it!!â Falcon shakes his head chuckling âI love that little things make you laugh!â I laugh louder âOh come on! Thatâs funny! Hunting? He has two fingers missing! Itâs funny!â Axel mumbles âitâd be funnier if it was his trigger finger!â That cracked me up!
Sabrina suggests âWhat if we contact Robertâs former allies? He has to have friends..right? Maybe he will seek refuge with?â Falcon smiled âReally good idea! You and Brady start calling the Alphas closest to him first..and move out to reach the ones closer to us!â Looking up I say âHeâs ditched the phone. Itâs signal died on Midnight Sierraâs land. So Allison spilled that little bit of info! Iâm banking she has told him everything she knows about us, by now.â
Axel shouts âFound a number for Rebeccaâs phone number! What say we give her a call just to see if sheâs willing to share anything with us? It canât hurt!â I nod âgive me the numberâ¦.Iâll call her!â
Putting the phone on speakerâ¦waiting to see if she answers âHello?â I bounce in my seat âHi! Is this Rebecca Culver?ââ¦â¦â Used to be.. Iâm Rebecca Smith now. I donât want to be associated with the Culvers. I wonât have my children exposed to that toxicity⦠Who is this and why are you calling me? I donât want to hear about them and I donât want to talk to them! Xavier and I have disowned them!â
âMy name is Annalise Berlin Rivera⦠my family has a history with yours. I recently found out Emmett has had an unhealthy obsession with me for a couple years. And your oldest brother has been helping him. Recently, we learned he knows where I am⦠why I am calling you is to askâ¦Do you know of anywhere he may hide..or anyone who might provide him refuge?â Iâm hoping she can help.. âIâm sorry, Anna. My mother and I had no idea why we were banished. Your father didnât announce it to the pack..and we know it was to spare us. Xavier found out five years ago everything that had led up to the banishment. He told mom and meâ¦and we confronted Dad and Emmett. Cyrus attacked Xavier and beat him unmercifullyâ¦and when my mother stepped in to stop itâ¦he killed her. Xavier and I ran that night. Cyrus was working with hunters on biological weapons to kill weres..so if anyone is offering them refuge..I believe that would be a good place to start. I wish I could offer more help but I severed all ties that night five years ago. I am truly sorry for the pain my blood put you through â I replied âThanks.. But I donât hold you responsible. You were a child too!â Hanging upâ¦.I look at Falcon and he pulls me into his lap.
Bonnie asks âAre there any ways we can locate the hunters he was working with? Donât they have registered organizations now? They have to be sanctioned by the were council, donât they?â Falcon shouts âBonnie! Youâre a genius! Axelâ¦locate the huntersâ¦.we need to have a talk..barring thatâ¦we need to pay them a visitâ
Brady suggests âThereâs a rogue camp close to the western border, remember? We let them hunker down there last year to wait out the winter? Their spokesman made a deal with us to stay out there, as long as no new ones joinedâ¦. Itâs mostly familes..little pups. I think thereâs maybe twenty adult males. They are the ones in most danger from hunters. They might have information we could use?â
I grinned âLadies⦠letâs pack up some care packagesâ¦blanketsâ¦kids clothes..jacketsâ¦toiletriesâ¦and maybe several boxes of nonperishable food items⦠things to make their lives a little easier? Check with parents who have toys they may be planning on donatingâ¦..pups need things to entertain themselves with! I want to go out there this afternoon!â
Falcon had such a strange look on his faceâ¦.âWhat?ââ¦. He smiled so sweetly and shook his head âYou are the perfect Luna!â
