Of Course, She does While Mary’s Pack Welcomes Alex to their Home as A Shocking Revelation is brought to their Attention…

Early the next morning, as the bus traveled from Wyoming back to Utah Alex, had fitful dreams of her time as orphan waking her up with sweat as Mary spoke you ok… Yeah, just bad dreams how close are we… Mary spoke back we should be back to Wolves Haven soon so go ahead and relax and get some sleep… what about you… I am Anxious my friend…

You Anxious why… just the way I handled everything felt like I let them all down… Mary your man as she whispers mate loves you as does your pack, they will forgive you…

I just hope so when Mary sighed heavily you know Alex when I chose to become what I am I never thought my past would come into play I jumped in headfirst without thinking… Mary relax you did this so your man would not have to face it alone and what you told me about you being a timid flower and never committing to something proves to me that you did change for the better… how so dear if I may ask… let us face it, Mary, you took charge and chose to save his life right… Yeah… and yes you now have this ability that some will think is a curse but you know what fuck em do you believe you are cursed….

Well no not most times Alex I find it liberating just to run in the woods feeling the breeze and hunting at the core the primal feeling of survival… see you got to be true to yourself girlfriend now tell me do you think if those people who attacked me drew blood would you… would I do what… end them... if I had no other option then yeah I would does that make me a monster… no, it is survival of the fittest dear you got to protect the people you love and care for…

Thank you, Alex, but you never told me your last name…. Peterson, Alexandria Michelle Peterson as Mary said what a beautiful name not paying attention to Alex’s Middle name or the fact her dead pack sister the last name was too Peterson as she was Mated to Richard god rest his soul so she was going by Richards last name…

Is something wrong dear just remembered two of my friends who recently passed dear… Oh, I am so sorry Mary If I touched a nerve… you don’t need to be I am still hurting on how they were taken from us… wait I thought werewolves were tough to you know… Kill Mary Replied … Yeah… we are but still, if we are dismembered and or killed with silver it is game over another thing Hollywood got wrong in their lives… Oh, Mary, I am so sorry… Ahhh we are finally Home…

Mary Walked off the bus alongside Alex and said can you smell that dear… no, Mary, I can’t… fresh Utah air clean of smog and congestion this my friend is the life as they began walking towards Mary’s Home…

Tom woke up looking at the empty space beside him wanting his mate to be there as he woke up when his senses went off a mile a minute oh my she here as he quickly dressed as he raced to the door…

Britt knew her sisters’ scent as she came out and said Mary, you’re back thank goddess you came home as she hugged her pack sister and said you gave us a scare… I know and I am sorry Britt but it had to be done I needed that chapter of my life back… when Max and Sally came forth and hugged her too when Mary said its so good to be home and to stay no more running away as Sally spoke good while the rest came around to hug and welcome her home when Francine spoke who is the guest…

Mary spoke guys this Alexandria Peterson…. We met on the ride out and been a good person to me as Luna and her team of came back from their nightly rounds and spoke their welcome home dear sister as Mary felt the love… Mary spoke back I met Alex on the ride to Wyoming and something opened the floodgates… well, Thank you for bringing her back home any friend of Mary’s is a friend of ours…

Tom came up and said Dear you came back as he hugged her tightly you…you …I know dear and I am sorry but I had to confront him… and did you… yes..yes I did but he will no longer bother anyone any more… Mary what did you do… Me nothing I swear but his new wife took his life and then hers I guess… when Alex spoke up I overheard it while I was in the store buying her some new shoes…. Mary they all looked at her with bullets what the hell happen…

OK you want the truth Alexandria knows about us Ok I Never planned on this happening when she began to cry…she was being assaulted by knifepoint and was going to be …be raped and I made an impulse decision as my anguish over the actions of losing my mother and how my father treated me over the years I… I could not let that happen again if you were all in my shoes you would have done the same thing….

Luna spoke up you know it sis but do you trust her… Mary spoke back I do she came along with me just in case… in case of what if someone pushed my button… and I vouch for her to stay when everyone looked on and said as long she can help out she can stay as Paul and Max both agreed since she seemed shy but eager to help Mary to come home…

What about her family Brittney Asked when Alex spoke look, I don’t have a real family of my own only a last name when Alex spoke back Peterson when Max dropped his coffee mug… did you say, Peter…Peterson… when Alex spoke back do you know me… no, but I knew of someone with that last name…. what year were you born in 1986 why…?

Did you ever find out what year you were placed in the foster care system in 1989 still in diapers why…? I knew a Peterson…. Her name was Michelle…wait that’s my middle name… no, it can’t be… Max can you shed some light on this it burns me up knowing my folks couldn’t hack it being parents…

Max spoke back that was not the case ever… how do you know because the Peterson I knew her name was Michelle Leanne Peterson when Alex pulled out a letter from the foster center as she crumpled onto the ground… Noooo it can’t be… be what Sally asked…. Max you knew my mother… Max spoke back Alex she never gave us any information about you at all… but you knew her something I always wanted to know was why did she do it damn it….

Did she ever fucking love me…? Max spoke back Alex listen maybe she did this to protect you… from what… we do not know dear if she would have let us in on it, we would have helped her find you…

She…She never cared when Luna and Kieba spat back Aunt Michelle died to protect us when Jack and Roxy spoke back to calm down family as Alex said how dare you to call her Aunt she cared only for you and this family when I was out there… fighting to survive… Michelle lost her life protecting us all Luna cried out as Tabitha said she and her Mate Richard was attacked as we all were by a Japanese Mafia hit…

Wait who was Richard… Alex spoke back the last guy she was mated too Max spoke back with sadness but I had a feeling about her she kept things from the pack members to the day of her death… so she never spoke of me at all… no never…

I’ll Leave now I am sorry…. Wait up Paul spoke with guidance Alex is it… do you have any place… no, I don’t… then it is settled you are staying here tonight and that is final… hey, you all can't keep me here against my will… we are not doing that Alex it is getting late and you look hungry and tired…

That I am… and… and what Alex spoke back… you know about Mary and her gifts and she probably told you about our secrets too… it was not hard to figure out… are we going to be safe… you mean your secret I hardly socialize with people so yes it will be safe… Good, Mary can you take her to your and Tom’s home and let her wash up for supper soon… yes, Elder as Mary said Tom take me home as Alex followed beside them….

When Max spoke could she be… when Rose came out as the sun died down who could be what… Mary’s new friend…. Oh, I thought I sensed a human on site is everything ok… we just may have found out… Find out what Rose spoke with ease… her mother… was… was what… Our sister Michelle who died… Rose said oh dear if she is why didn’t Michelle tell us she had a child…

That I cannot figure out Max and Sally spoke when Dani and Savannah spoke back it would kind of make sense, I mean she helped you raised Luna and Kie right Brittney when Luna spoke Michelle was always a godsend, she always told me what I needed to do with our little ones do you think…

When Roxy spoke back that she guided us how to raise our young because she lost that opportunity herself… that my dear we will have to figure out as Dawn spoke great the only person who can answer it and she is no longer here… we will figure it out my dear family let’s get dinner ready…

Back at Tom’s & Mary’s, she sat beside him on the couch… Tom dear look I am so sorry I made you worry about me but understand… Tom shush her lips why did you not tell me you were Raped, dear… I didn’t want you to think any less of me, my love… you less never… you changed me both on the field of life and now as my mate and wife as Mary hugged him and said mom would have loved you my darling… you have been through all my dark and dreary days and my most passionate nights she would have been proud to call you son when they both heard Alex come out of the shower as she was in some borrowed joggers and short sleeve shirt…

Feel better, my friend… Yeah, I think Alex spoke back… look I am so sorry that… don’t be Mary how could you all know I bet Max is kicking himself senseless… Max is wise and loyal and if he does not know why your mother… please do not say that around me, Mary… if Max knew that Michelle had a child I know in my heart that he would expect her to do the right thing… how would you know Mary I didn’t even get a chance to ever meet her…Tom spoke back when I was injured during the attack… Tom you … no, I want her to hear this baby… when I was injured In the same battle Michelle and Richard were killed in and I took a turn for the worst Max explained to Mary here what needed to be done to save me… by turning into a werewolf…

But I did not turn alone Mary changed alongside me and I would never change that experience when Alex spoke back Mary you sacrificed your humanity for your mate as Mary spoke as I told you before dear he is not just my mate in the eyes of our goddess but he is my husband in the eyes of the lord too and the vow till death do us part…. Well, that does make some sense my friend as they heard the bell as Mary spoke come let’s go…. Where too… Supper as Tom spoke come let us eat….

Everyone sat at the Table as Paul and Brittney Addressed the return of Mary Spencer and introduced her friend Alexandria by the first name as the Family was finally reunited while they all chowed down while Mary continued to keep Alex preoccupied when Max spoke Alex can we talk…

Alex look at Max spoke and said look about earlier… please stop Max I am so sorry I took my anger out on you who knows right this person could be my mother… other words possibly not but if she passed how do I find out I would love to know Mr. Turner… please call me Max everyone does when Miseli spoke after supper me and Diane could draw some blood as we have Michelle’s own blood too to test against yours dear… wait are you even… certified of course dear in my old life was a doctor and still have my license and Tina is also too and Diane has training… so I am in capable hands… the best hands or paws we have to offer so follow us and we will draw your blood…

Hours later while everyone began to turn in for the night Mary, Tom and Alex continued to watch the starry skies as Mary said you know dear if it is true about your mother how will you feel about it…

Alex rubbed her arms letting the cotton swab and tape off and spoke it’s too late now I can't hate the dead Alex Sighed I just hope it was quick and painless and hope that I set the perfect example when Tom spoke Michelle had a lot of burdens even though she wouldn’t speak of them to us all that was how she was very private… does that float red flags to you all…what do you mean… she claimed you like family right… so… so, Tom, do you think she should have been open about her past…I do agree on some of it but we also believe that people have a past too and we shouldn’t judge them…like yourself dear you earned my respect… how… you watched over my mate and wife after she saved you most people would be scared shitless and for that, I thank you and be forever in your debt so for how long you stay our home is your home…

Thank you, Tom, but you do not… no, I insist it is the least we can do… Thank you, Tom… but can I ask you do you think is it possible… who knows well we are at the end of the hall if you need us the kitchen is that way and the fireplace is over there… I am going to turn in for the night as Alex said Goodnight Tom give my blessings to your wife and mate and tell her I will see her in the morning as Tom went to his room and fell fast asleep beside his mate for the first time with a smile on his face while Alex enjoyed the peace filled night in the town of Wolves Haven…
