Challenges of an Alpha's Hybrid Daughter

Awakening to reality

"Momma, Grace says weakly. Momma she says a little more clearly." " Yes baby girl Momma is right here." " Momma where's Paul? Is he okay?" "I'm right here Grace. I am so glad you are okay." "Paul, is everyone else okay? Did they catch the man that shot us? Mom where's Dad?" "I'm right here Grace. Dr Smith is on his way." "Daddy why can't I smell you? I can't smell any of you." "I mean Momma is a witch but why can't I smell the rest of you." John come touch me please." "Okay darling I'm right here." "I don't feel sparks," Grace says panicked. "Momma where's my spark." "Grace do you feel your wolf?" "No I don't feel my Panther either." "It's okay Grace just relax and let the Dr. Smith check you out, Paul says. If it makes you feel any better I couldn't feel my wolf when I first woke up." That would be the Wolfsbane that the dart was laced with.

"Thank you for coming Dr. Smith the kids are awake and both of them have said they had trouble with their animal spirits." "I am having a mandatory pack meeting about now. You will obviously be excused. This will give you a chance to examine the both of them without any interference. Come along guys give the Dr. some space." "Dr. Smith please check her vision. I don't think she can see us. She panicked not being able to smell or feel sparks," Vaughn says via mindlink.

"Thank you Alpha I'll mindlink you when I'm done." "Very well thank you Dr. Smith."

"Grace I want to check your senses before we proceed. Tell me if this light is bright. He goes to shine a light in each eye." "Dr. Smith you are kind of blurry, why am I having trouble seeing everyone?" "It would be a side effect of the tranquilizer and Wolfsbane it should wear off momentarily.

"Okay you two close your eyes and relax. Now Paul can you tell me what you smell. I smell a sterile room. Okay Paul can you talk to your wolf." "Sparks are you there?" "Yes, I'm here but I feel terrible and excited. It's like I sense mate but something must be wrong with her." "Why? Because she smells like a cat. I mean don't get me wrong she smells like a yummy cat." "Dr. Smith my wolf smells Grace's panther," says Paul.

"Okay now Grace what do you smell?" asked Dr. Smith. "I smell wet dog. Yummy wet dog." "Grace are you able to communicate with Your panther?" "Let me try again, Dr Smith." "Mittens are you in there." "Yeah, Grace but something is wrong with Angel." "Angel what's wrong?" asks Grace. "Angel can't answer you right now she's still sleeping. Angel has been taking our pain. Now where is this yummy wet dog." "Dr Smith Mittens smells wet dog says it is yummy but Angel is sleeping and taking all of our pain." "Okay Paul and Grace please allow Sparks and Mittens forward allow them to have control but stay present." "Yes Dr. Smith" They answer. "Hello Sparks how are you feeling, asks Dr. Smith. "Tired and a bit confused. I don't understand why this cat smells so yummy." "Well panthers usually attract their prey to where they are by giving off a desirable scent. I think I know what has happened here. Mittens even though you are a strong animal is Angel more dominant?" "Yes Angel is dominant in character I am the hunter she is our compassionate side. My attitude will get us in trouble but angel is level headed. We are good together. Together we are diplomatic and trusting. Yet also fierce when needed." "Mittens is there a reason why You smell good to Sparks." "I think maybe I was emitting a scent to attract whoever was hunting us. I am going to scratch his eyes out when I catch him," replies Mittens. "That would explain some of what is occuring, states Dr. Smith. " You see Mittens and Angel balance each other. Mittens wants to hunt what she perceives as a threat. "Wolfbane is messing with your senses, explains Dr. Smith. "You two rest and I'll check to see how your vitals are later. Grace don't worry your vision should be fine once your wolf has had a chance to rest and recover."

Meanwhile at the Community dining hall...

" May I please have everyone's attention, says Alpha Vaughn loudly. I called this meeting so that I could let the pack know about what occurred at the human school today. Please allow me to finish speaking before saying anything. I will address any questions you may have after I am done explaining what happened. "Yes Alpha" the pack said in unison respectfully. This afternoon an identified person shot my daughter and your beta's son with tranquilizer darts. Paul your beta's son is going to be fine. I am very proud to say that the pack's future leaders including Gamma and deltas handled the situation admirably. They kept their calm and communicated very well with each other. They not only protected the lower ranked pups. They made sure the humans were isolated from the scene that unfolded on the campus. Your future Alpha Grace identified the threat and cleared the scene with the help of her future ranked members. Grace was taken down first and the beta's son kept my daughter covered and protected. He relayed important information to the Gamma so that everyone could proceed with the necessary caution. We have a positive identification on this assailant unfortunately he is in human territory and has been suspect in previous assaults."

"Due to the ongoing threat to our pack young people, I have come to the conclusion that pack members will be doing their finals here in the packhouse. Since a small portion of the teachers are pack members they will administer final exams here in the conference room and the community dining hall. The young people will have 2 hour lunch break so that is going to be when we request that you also grab lunch. Breakfast and dinner will not be affected they will be served as usual."
