The Kings

JASON’S POV We sit in a phone meeting with one of the Alphas that is having problems with rouges, when Matthew contacts us to let us know that they need to see us when we’re done, it’s important. We look at each other and finish up our meeting. “What do you think that’s about,” Jonathan asks. “Well let’s mind link him and see,” Justin states. I mind link Matthew to come to our office and we wait only a few moments. We’re surprised though when Isaac shows up also. “What is this about gentleman,” I ask. They look at each other and we wait. Matthew starts explaining. “About an hour ago a woman came to our gate, she claims she lost her memory. She was asking for help. She wondered if she could stay here for a while. We told her that we could not make that decision and that you were in a meeting. We called her a rouge and it didn’t seem to register with her. It also didn’t seem to make a difference to her when we called you Kings. So, either she’s a really good actress, or she really did lose her memory. We put her in the first cell and told her we would let you know.” “Did you have food taken to her,” I ask. “Of course, Sir,” Isaac states. “Who brought her food,” Jonathan asks. “Mary,” Isaac response. “Why did you wait so long to come and let us know that she was here,” Justin asks. “We wanted to give her time to eat,” Matthew replies. “When I thought she had enough time to finish eating, I contacted you.” We let Matthew and Isaac go back to their posts. I link Mary to come to our office and she responses immediately letting me know she’s on her way. When Mary comes in, she smiles. “You want to see me, I’m going to guess it’s about a certain girl in the dungeons,” she replies. I nod. “She seems really sweet. I also believe she’s telling the truth about her memory. When I mentioned the word Alphas, she seemed very confused. She stated that she thought she was waiting for the Kings, not Alphas? She looked genuinely confused. I can smell her wolf, but whatever happened to her has caused her wolf to be suppressed.” I nod. “Thank you, Mary, we’ll go and see her now,” I tell her as we stand. “One more thing, Alphas, I only made her one sandwich and a cup of soup because I wasn’t sure how much her stomach could handle. I told her to yell for Matthew if she was ready for more, but she hasn’t yet. When you talk to her, can you check to make sure that she doesn’t need more food. She seems very weak and unhealthy. I don’t know what happened, but I think it took a huge toll on her and her wolf,” she says. I nod and she turns and leaves. I look at Justin and Jonathan. “Should we go and see this woman that has come and won the hearts of everyone she meets met,” I ask jokingly. They smile and nod. We walk down to the dungeon, saying hi to everyone as we pass. As the Royal Pack my brothers and I have worked hard to make sure that we live as an example for how we expect all packs to live. We work hard to make sure that everyone knows that we’re available to anyone, big or small. We also don’t believe in killing rouges on sight like some Alphas. That’s why we have a section of the dungeon where the girl is. It is nicer than most dungeons, with a private bathroom and clean sheets. Someone comes and cleans it every other week. As we get to the dungeon door, I smell a wonderful smell. It reminds me of the apple pies our mom used to cook for us on our birthday. When we became adults, we loved them so much that she would make two pies for each of us every birthday. My wolf brakes me out of my memory with one word “Mate”. I hear the statement echoed by both my brothers “Mate,” “Mate”, we look at each other. Then walk down to the cell and look in on her. She’s beautiful. We can see what the guards and Mary were saying. We can smell her, but she looks like a very weak human. She looks like a good swift wind could break her in two, and she’s covered with dirt from head to toe. Her hair looks brown, but with all the dirt it’s hard to tell the true shade. I notice that she looked like her hair is brown. “What should we do now,” I ask. “What can we do,” Justin says. “We have no choice,” Jonathan states. “I know we’re going to keep her, but she doesn’t know who she is, she doesn’t know that she’s a wolf. How are we going to handle being with her and not BEING WITH her? The whole pack is going to have to act human until she gets her memory back. That won’t be easy. What happens if rouges attach? How will we explain it?” I ask through our triplet link. “I think you need to calm down and stop asking for trouble. We need to take one step at a time. Let’s worry first about getting her to stay and linking everyone, letting them know we have a girl staying with us that doesn’t know she’s a wolf, so there will be no wolves in the village, only changing when in the forest,” Justin says. I unlock the cell and we walk in. She opens her eyes and looks very worried about what we’re going to do. “I know you lost your memory, but we’re wondering if you happen to remember your name,” I ask. She nods, but doesn’t say anything. I look at my brothers. “Are you willing to tell us? My name is Justin, this is my brother Jonathan and this is Jason,” Justin says. She swallows. “Do you want to know my name so you can kill me?” she asks. “Of course not. We’re going to ask if you want to stay with us, but we want to know what to call you,” I tell her. She looks between us and whispers, “Jennifer.” with our good hearing we have no trouble hearing her. I hold out my hand for her to take, and wait. She looks at my hand for a moment and then places her hand in mine. I feel sparks, but it doesn’t look like she does. I guess until her wolf come back, she won’t.
