Challenges of an Alpha's Hybrid Daughter

At the hospital

"David all the pack kids have been picked up we better head home, I'm sure your Mom is worried about us." "Okay Dad, I wonder if Paul and Grace are okay." "After I take you home I'm going to help track the attacker. Maybe if I catch the guy I can redeem myself with Alpha Vaughn." "I just need to check on my best friend. I don't want to imagine life with out Paul or Grace."

Sometime after getting both patients to the hospital.

"Dr. Smith so we have any idea what was in the darts that were shot at our kids," asks Alpha Vaughn. "It was a very powerful Dog Tranquilizer laced with a trace amount of Wolfsbane. Much like the darts used on the Beta Mark. Both of them will be fine with time. Because your daughter is essentially half human it may be harder on her recovery. With Paul he will sleep it off and the Wolfsbane is so trace it'll just slow his recovery down. We have them in the same room so we can monitor them both very closely. I do know that Paul would be too young to recognize his mate. However if John and Grace recognize each other as mates his presence will help her recovery." "Thank you Dr. I'll let Beta Mark and Beta Charlotte know they can come sit with their "son. I will let John Waters know he may sit with Grace after her Mom and I have seen her for ourselves."

"Ella, Mark and Charlotte Dr. Smith is done examining Paul and Grace. You may join me in their room," Alpha Vaughn mindlinks. "Thank you Alpha keeping 2 hysterical Moms out here in the waiting room has been quite challenging. John is heading in with us. He's rather insistent."

"Alpha Vaughn I'll give you some time with Grace but I kindly request you allow me to stay with her." "Actually Alpha John, Dr. Smith recommended that very thing. So thank you for recognizing the importance of mine and her mother's place in her life." "Mark the tranquilizer that was used was laced with a trace amount of Wolfsbane so our children will take longer to recover. It was quite similar to what you were drugged with when You were held captive." " Wow talk about dejavu, this really sucks. First I had to deal with this and now my son. Do we have any idea how and why this happened?" Mark asked. "Ella, do you know if any of the witches from before have gotten out of prison?" Vaughn asks. "No I don't know I haven't spoken to any of my family since I reunited with you," Ella replies defensively. "What about Ruth, Elroy's mate, wasn't she part of your mother's coven. I know that she was being mistreated by Elroy and got a lesser sentence as an innocent bystander." "She has no motive and besides she wouldn't have attacked at school. Besides she's a light witch not a dark witch like the rest," says Ella. "Vaughn I agree with Ella maybe we should ask the coach, our trusted Gamma, what he knows about the attack," points out Mark.

"Gamma, can you meet me in my office please." Beta Mark and John came with me to my office. The moms stayed in the hospital room with our pups.

"Yes sir, be right there Alpha. Wish me luck you all," says Gamma Maxwell. I took the elevator up to the Alpha floor to speak to Alpha Vaughn. Knock knock

"Come in Gamma Maxwell please. Gamma can you tell Beta and I what you know about the attack on our children, Vaughn asks. "Alpha Vaughn, I told the young people to run 5 miles before we continued with practice endurance testing for finals which as you know are next week. Grace was on the north end of the track a ways ahead of the other students when she mindlinked me telling me there was someone lurking in the treeline. I blew my whistle getting everyone's attention and called them inside. Paul caught up to Grace and they were watching the treeline like they were trying to access the threat. In the meantime I gave directions for the Delta's kids to secure the gym and watch the younger pups. I gave David directions on relaying information to the principal and told the senior students to come with me as Paul was calling for help. He said that the person that shot Grace looked like John but Grace said no right before he said OW and covered Grace with his body. At this point I was on my way out there when Paul fell covering Grace like a true Beta. I saw a figure in the shadows and to be honest I would have thought it was John. You all arrived just as we managed to get Grace and Paul inside. I'm so sorry that I failed to protect them Alpha, Beta. I request that I be allowed to join in the search for the man that did this."

"That won't be necessary Gamma Maxwell, " says Alpha Vaughn. I know who did this, I just don't know why. John we need to talk. I think you have the same suspect in mind. Truth is you were with me at the time of the attack so I know it wasn't you. Somehow Grace knew as well." " Alpha is there something you two can enlighten the rest of us on?" asks Beta Mark. "Actually yes I can, says John, first thing Grace is my mate and my brother and I are not scented the same, also he had blue eyes whereas mine are Grey. Secondly your possible suspect is most likely my twin brother. He has spent the last couple years doing scandalous things trying to ruin my name, says John with an angry sigh. The theory is he was raised by my abusive father while I was raised by my adoptive parents. My father had been stripped of his Alpha title and demoted to omega."

"So your twin attempted to kidnap our future Alpha Grace because he's jealous of your life, sums up Beta Mark. " Yes that is accurate, says John defeated.
