Alex Meets Patrick's Aunt but not in a likely source….

Next morning Alex came to her family with a spring in her step as Britt spoke someone is in a chipper mood as Luna spoke back yeah, our little cub might have found a mate last night LUNA Alex blushed red… oh, do tell Britt said as the rest of the family began to egg her on….

Ok, all I know is his name is Patrick as Sasha said yeah, they were getting pretty close and hot and heavy… so what happened dear I bumped into him on accident and when I helped him up it… it clicked Britt spoke in a motherly fashion how does it make you feel inside dear… I am frightened and scared as Paul spoke, we all get that way come let’s get some work done as it will give you some time to think….

Meanwhile at Utah State Patrick sat in the corner of his morning class as he listened to his biological deposition and medical science instructor going over today lessons as he was working on the diagram on the visual aide as the teacher spoke up remember class quiz on the human genome and disease charts placements after the holiday brake good holiday and see you after the new year…. Ahhh, Mr. Evans, can you stay for a second… Yes, Ma’am…

How many times I told you to call me Mrs. Lewis as he said my mom always told me to respect my elder’s ma’am…. Good trait but I wanted to see how you are doing… I am good Mrs. Lewis… how’s your aunt… it comes and goes… with all your troubles with your dad in prison and mom died last year and to find out your last living relative has a rare blood disease you are one of my best students and it is an honor to say that the hospital is going to accept your internship … thank you, Mrs. Lewis, no thanks is needed you are well deserving of it now go and have a good holiday…

Patrick came out of the lecture hall as he said I can’t wait to tell Aunt Joan about the good news when three college football players came into view Hey Shit stain Patricia, I am talking to you when two more step in front of him…

what do you guys want now…. When the football player named Rico punched him in the gut rumors going around that our boy Mitch got beat up by a supermodel ain't that right Frankie yeah, she made him her bitch from what I hear as he knees Pat in the ribs making him cough blood… I had nothing to do with…

Bullshit Pauly spoke as his fist connected to his face breaking his glasses and bloodied his nose while the three football players continue to kick and stomp him to a near unconscious state… as Rico spoke don’t show your face here again shit stain or it gets worse when he kicked Pat across the nose breaking it as Patrick was lying in his own blood…

Luna and her family continued to work as they began to prepare for lunch when Sasha said, Alex…. A lady from the local college called… I don’t know anyone from the college are you sure it was not the wrong number…

Sasha said it’s Patrick… what happened… his instructor came out of her lecture hall to find Pat severely beaten and unconscious when she found your number in his hand… Alex Growled in anger as her eyes began to change…

Mary hugged her sister and said, calm dear, that lying son of a bitch he… attacked him… jump him like a cunt when Alex could feel her wolf side wanting to take over Luna spoke Alex calm down you can’t… easy for you sister… your husband is here as she bolted off… where are you going to… going to get some answers…

Alex please for the love of goddess do not do something you regret when Alex got to her home and grabbed a backpack as she removed her work clothes as her battle suit was underneath it as she packed the duffel bag and shut the door…

Alex began to run as her wolf hybrid form took over as the adrenaline began pumping as her form changed as she ran through her wooded forest home vaulting from tree to ground as she headed into town to Pete’s Pizzeria….

Mitch continued to work out his debt as Pete spoke you know Mitch if you continue to keep up the work and show some dedication you could someday run this place… thanks, Pete I am so sorry I treated you like shit over the years when Pete heard the bell in the front of his shop….

Ahh Alex how are you where is he… who… Mitch where is he… in the back… can you give us a minute I need to talk to him… you not going to hurt him… no, I will explain in a bit…

MITCH there you are as she grabbed him planted him towards the wall… what did you do to Pat… what are you talking about… you promised him you would not bother him again… why do you care about him… I care about anyone and you are lucky I do who knows what I could do… Alex right… you remembered…

I have been here all morning ask Pete I had time off as most of the players for Utah State had off for the holidays… then tell me who jumped him I don’t know… Alex, he is speaking the truth he has been here helping me restock shelves and getting supplies… then you mean… why what happened to Patrick…

Why do you care… because of you the night before I should not be an asshole to others because of my pedigree please don’t hurt me as Alex could only smell the ingredient’s to pizza’s and salads as her anger calmed down… look, Mitch, I am sorry but Pat was severely beaten up on campus and a teacher of his found him and I thought you… hey, I may be an asshole but I am a man of my word Alex… who would… the entire football team could I mean they all pick on the people less fortunate… how bad is it… pretty bad from what my sister Sasha told me and you thought I did it… Yeah sorry about that I’ll go now and Pete you will not see me…

Utah General… when Alex began to look either direction as Mitch said South as Alex began to run south…

Luna and Jack came to Pete’s and said have you seen Alex Peterson… you just missed her is she ok… did she do anything to anyone no she didn’t harm anyone as Luna said what happen to her friend as Mitch pissed his pants as Pete said he had been here all morning and if this is about Patrick she is on her way to Utah General Jack and Luna as they said thanks as they head out…

Mitch said I feel sorry for the persons involved Pete said I feel you kiddo as they watched Jack and Luna drive off…

Luna spoke I worry about her dear… I know you do… we got to find her we can't let her… dear relax she is having a tough time she is hurting and I know she been hurt enough but I have faith in her you should too… Luna spoke she reminds me of someone I fell in love with all these years back… oh, who is that… you silly as Jack caught her scent at the hospital entrance seeing her walking back and forth in fear…

Alex, there you are… Luna sister I am sorry… I freaked out… we are here for you… I am afraid… I know as Alex cried how did you find me… we followed your scent dear… so you know I went to the pizza parlor…

Alex spoke Mitch is lucky I could have killed him… then you would be just like your mother’s killer too dear uncaring and that is not you… you are right Luna… I am so sorry I snapped at you I didn’t mean it… I know… should I go up and see if they allow me to see him… you can try dear we will stay here if you like just in case you need a lift home… yeah, I was not thinking was I… we all have those days dear I just glad that our queen blessed us in her wisdom and calmed you wild spirit… me too sister me too…

Oh, Mrs. Lewis thank you for coming It is the least I can do any word… no dear not yet… well, I decided to station myself at this hospital so I can evaluate his condition… excuse me how bad is it… and you are… Alex Peterson… wait are you the same Alex with the number I called… yes, that very same…

Joan spoke she is his friend so you can tell her... well he has a broken nose, a busted spleen, a herniated disc in his back, a broken left leg, bruised lungs when Alex spoke back is he in pain… not now as we had to place him under a medically induced coma… who would do this to him what did he do wrong….

Dr. Lewis spoke back we have campus security going over the footage so I will promise you all his attackers will be found… will he ever be the same… he will need all the help and love everyone can give him and pray for the best… Joan said dear go on in and visit him… are you sure… yes dear…

Alex stepped inside to see Patrick tied to machines and breathing tubes as Alex sat by in fear… What happen to you Pat while holding his hand if you can hear me squeeze my hand… were you blindsided when she felt his squeeze… how many 1… no pressure… 2… still no response… 3… still no read… ok, five…. big squeeze… oh dear, I am so sorry when Alex kissed his forehead and whispered in his ear if you can hold on and come back, I want to get to know every bit of you and I will tell you every single bit of me and share a secret admission but you got to wake up for me…

Dr. Lewis came in dear time to go for now… may I come back tomorrow… of course Alex and if anything changes, I still got your number on hand… thank you, Dr. Lewis, please call me Annie as Alex kissed his forehead once more and said see you tomorrow…

Alex gave Joan her number and said if you need to talk feel free to call as she hugged her new friend as Luna and Jack spoke dear let us go home when Alex cried in her sister’s arms… it's bad dear… he was attacked by five people and now to let him heal they placed him in a medically induced coma as Luna hugged her tight…

Hush dear it is alright you care for him… no sis you are right I can't lie to you not anymore when I touched him and then again I felt like we are connected and I am scared to lose him… I know you are but you need to be strong while Jack drove back home while Luna held Alex in the backseat as she cried herself to sleep in her sister's arms while the car drove back in the dead of night to Wolves Haven….
