[Dayton]
It's been 6 months now since Wisteria, and I have returned to Blood-Orange Moon. Things have been going well for me, but it's taking Wisteria some time to get used to it. She finally started sleeping more than 2 hours about a month ago. She would wake up sweating, asking where Acer and Rose were, and I had to keep assuring her they were safe at Green Moon with Hardin and Aspen. I feel awful that she had to leave them at Green Moon, but they are safe, and they love living with the Tiftons. It didn't make sense to pull them out of my sister's pack and bring them back here when things were finally normal for them. Wist agrees, but she still has moments where she freaks out and wants to go get them. I wish I knew why she is so scared of being away from them. I mean, I know what happened with her parents, but I feel like there is more to it than that. I have been sitting here at the training field waiting for Wyatt to get here. He told me to meet him here for some sparring, but he has yet to show up. I sat there for another 10 minutes before he finally showed up.
"Why did you tell me to be here at a certain time if you weren't going to be on time, Wyatt?"
"I had to make sure you would actually show on time, Dayton."
"I know I have been late a few times, but I have already faced my punishment for it."
"I know you have, but as the Beta of this pack, I can't have you being late all the time."
"I'm not trying to be late, Wyatt. I can't help it. Wist is still waking up and freaking out sometimes, and I can't go back to sleep until I know she is calm and she is asleep."
"I wonder why this is happening. Was she doing it at Green Moon?"
"I asked Aspen, and she said she did at first, but then it got better. I asked Wist what was going on, and she told me it was just being away from her siblings after what happened to their parents, but I think there is more to it, Wyatt."
"Maybe I could have Trini talk to her and see if she can get an idea of what is going on."
"I know where you are going with that, Wyatt. Do you honestly think it's a good idea to let Trini use her gift to peek into her thoughts?"
"Probably not, but if it will help you figure out what else is going on with her, then it's worth a shot, isn't it?"
"I guess, but I don't want this coming back to bite me in the ass, Wyatt."
"I'll talk to Trini and tell her not to say anything to Wisteria. I am letting you go unharmed today. I have a meeting with an Alpha from the south whom I have never met."
"Do I need to be there? I mean, since I'm the Beta in training."
"Not for this. I think he just wants to meet and form an alliance with us. He is the Alpha of a smaller pack, so I don't see him as a threat."
"Ok. Just link me if you need me. Later, Bro."
I left the training field and went back to the packhouse to talk to my mom, but I couldn't find her. She had a block up, so I couldn't link her either. I gave up and headed to my room. When I got there, Wisteria was nowhere to be found. I tried to link her, but I was met with a block. I linked my dad.
{Dad.}
{Yes, Dayton?}
{Do you know where Mom is and why I can't link her?}
{She has a block-up son.}
{I get that, Dad. Is Wisteria with her? She isn't in our room, and she has a block up as well.}
{Yes. She is with your mom. They went out for a girls' day.}
{Oh, thank the goddess.}
{What did you think happened to her son?}
{I don't know, Dad. She has been having some issues, and I was afraid she had gone back to Green Moon.}
{Issues? What is going on?}
{I'll be there in a few minutes, and I'll explain.}
I headed to my parents', and after explaining everything to my dad, he told me that she probably has separation anxiety from her siblings. I mean, it makes a lot of sense. She has been by their side since her parents were taken from them. After leaving my parents, I headed back to the packhouse and went to the recreation area to play a video game.
