Chichi was struggling to open her eyes. Every part of her body was sore. Timothy, on the other hand, was now wide awake looking at his beautiful mate as she stirred. He reached out and touched her hand. tingles and sparkles flew up his arm. Chichi's eyes shot open. Timothy chuckled, apparently the tingles shot up her arm as well. Chichi looked confused and her eyes caught the eyes of the handsome man holding her hand."Timothy, I presume?" she said in a quiet, soft voice.
"Yes. I am he. You must be my Chichi? We met in my dream?"
"Yes...in my dream." Chichi muttered.
Both cleared their throat at the same time. Then both laughed out loud. He smiled at her and lifted his hand to touch her cheek. She blushed nd looked down.
"You are beautiful. So,tell me how did you end up out in no man's land, alone and wet and unconscious?" he asked.
"I...I don't really know but Selene said my co worker Dennis kidnapped me..."
Timothy growled and Chichi stopped talking afraid she had angered the man.
"I am not angry with you, my mate.But with this co worker! How dare he harm you!" Timothy was a bit worked up.
Chichi sighed. She rubbed her head. It hurt. Timothy looked up and noticed her look of pain. He moved forward and gently rubbed her head. She moaned. "That feels so good." Timothy chuckled and continued to run her head as he mind linked the pack doctor to come check on her.
As he waited for the doctor to arrive, Timothy continued to rub Chichi's head gently and was lost in thought.
"How can I protect her? Who is this warlock co-worker? How can I keep her here with me, safe?"
Just then he heard the doctor clearing his throat. He looked up at him and stopped massaging Chichi's head. She groaned. Timothy chuckled again. The doctor smiled and stepped forward to check her vital signs.
"Well, how is she?" Timothy asked.
"Alpha, she is weak and needs rest but she is out of danger. "
"May I take her out of here. Home?" Timothy inquired.
"Yes,Alpha but she must rest in bed for at least 24 hours or better if it is 48 hours. Then 2 days of light activity so she can fully heal."
Chichi interrupted,"No. I must get back to work."
"Impossible, ma'am. You need rest." the doctor insisted.
"I will be responsible for her." Timothy looked at her and raised his eyebrow. Chichi shock her head, "I have to go to work!"
"No! You need rest!" Timothy was growing impatient (never a good thing for an Alpha!). Chichi shot him a look that froze him for a split second. Then he lowered his voice and rubbed her back gently, "My dear, you have been through a lot and need proper rest. I will call your boss and explain you were in an accident and need just a few days off to recover fully. He will understand. And we have to figure out how to protect you from your co-worker who is a warlock. Until we can, you must stay here. Stay safe. Please?"
The doctor's eyes bulged out of his head! "Did the Alpha just say 'plesse'?" He chose to back out of the room at this time and arrange her discharge papers.
Chichi sighed and looked down at the ground. "Fine. I suppose you are correct." She had to admit she was still very tired and a little sore still. Her wolf was still weak as well.
Timothy smiled at her. "Thank you"
She blushed and nodded and smiled softly.
It grew quiet in the room. Timothy began to rub her head gently again and Chichi laid back and slowly her eyelids closed. Timothy smiled.
Timothy found her gorgeous. Chichi closed her eyes and just allowed his hands to relax her. She was lost in thought. Suddenly the door was slammed open and Timothy cursed. Chichi's eyes flew open and Timothy lept in front of her in a protective stance and let out a growl. There stood a tall, graceful, silver haired, mature woman, a she-wolf and behind her came a very irritated man (Timothy's father who was the former Alpha).
"Damn it, woman! Get over here!" Gerald (Timothy's father , the retired Alpha) bellowed.
The stately she-wolf ignored the bellowing former Alpha entirely. She had a very worried look on her face as she scanned the bed behind Timothy.
"Excuse me, ma'am. What do you want and who are you?" Timothy irritatedly asked.
"You have my granddaughter in that bed! And I demand to see her, speak with her!" the elegant older she-wolf demanded. Her voice was powerful.Very powerful! Every wolf in the pack infirmary fell.to their knees and even both Alpha males submitted.
"Who the hell are you?" Gerald stuttered out.
"I am Grenadine and THAT she-wolf is my grand daughter whom I have been looking for for 25 years! Why is she here in YOUR PACK?! I DEMAND ANSWERS AND NOW!"
she poked her finger in Gerald's chest. Timothy stood and said, "Leave my father out of this.I am the Alpha here."
"You may be the Alpha now but you are a mere boy and would know nothing as to events 23 years ago!" She turned to the former Alpha and again demanded to know why her grand daughter was here and how he hid her for iver 2 decades!
"Madam, I assure you I know nothing of this situation. Come with me and I will explain why this she-wolf is here." Gerald was trying to calm things down.
"Hell NO! I am not leaving her again! No way! so explain now! I demand answers!" Grenadine was being entirely irrational. Timothy looked back at Chichi. Chichi looked at Timothy with a puzzled look on her face.
Chichi spoke, quietly as she was still exhausted and not quite well. "Madam, do I know you? I do not recall you?"
"OF COURSE YOU KNOW ME! I AM YOUR GRANDMOTHER! Granted I have not seen you since you were little but you used to play in my sunflower beds...used to laugh and giggle at my magic...used to eat berries out of my berry patches...you are my Chichi! and that DAMNABLE MOTHER OF YOURS TOOK YOU AWAY AND I have been trying to find you. Then finally your scent was found by my dear friend, Frieda and she told me you were here..."
Gerald interrupted, "Frieda? as in the omega who cooks in the pack house? That Frieda?"
"Yea, what of it? She and I have been friends since forever . . . maybe 150 years now as we are nearly 155 years old now. Why?"
"You are THAT Gernadine?" Gerald smiles. "I have heard so much about you from Frieda over the decades. She came here about 75 years ago with my Luna,Goddess rest her soul. They were..."
"Yes..yes..best friends...I was the third in that trio of friends! You stole my besties..." she shakes her head.
"We were mates..."
"I know..I know..but...I never got over losing them both to your pack! and to think my Chichi is here! Will you never stop stealing my loved ones from me?!" Grenadine was becoming upset again.
"It was never my intention to steal anyone from anyone,Madam I assure you. And your grand daughter only arrived a few days ago quite weak and sickly." Gerald retorted.
"What?! Impossible...Chichi is strong and powerful!"
"She was betrayed by a damn warlock! Tortured ...the witches tried to bleed her out." Gerald tried to explain.
"Hahahaha... oh how awesome. Stupid witches!" Grenadine said laughing nearly hysterically.
"Excuse me madam but are you not a witch yourself!? You said something about Chichi playing and enjoying your magic." Timothy interrupted still protectively standing in front of Chichi's bed.
"A WITCH!?? YOU THINK I AM A WITCH?! HEAVENS NO BOY! I am no witch!" she was doubled over with laughter. Gerald, Timothy and Chichi looked at each other bewildered.
"Madam? Madam? Just who are you?" Gerald inquired.
"I am the Queen of Fayes and THAT is my grand daughter whom my crazy, sicko daughter stole away from us.She is my beloved Chichi who is destined for greatness."
Chichi choked on her own saliva on that proclamation. Timothy turned to her and rushed to pat her back and soothe her. "Are you alright?" he asked Chichi. She sputtered a but then shook her head yes.
"OH MY ...YOU ARE MATES?!" Grenadine burst out.
Timothy cleared his voice, "Indeed. I discovered her in no man's land unconscious and ran her back here to our Drs. We have not even discussed anything yet." He looked at Chichi with adoration and aarmth.Chichi sat stunned. "So that's why..." she trailed off and sat dumbfounded.
Gerald stepped towards Grenadine and spoke softly, "Grenadine, why not let the girl rest and take in all you said.My son will watch over her. She will not disappear. Let's go talk...find Freida and discuss things...yes?"
Grenadine looked at Timothy and Chichi and agreed, hesitantly but agreed. Gerald extended his arm to the older she-wolf and she reached to take it. As she did sparks like electric shocks shot up her arm. Gerald was startled and snapped his head towards her, " Madam, did you..." "Keep walking, sir...we will discuss this later...away from the children."
Chichi and Timothy looked at each other and then towards the older wolves. "What was that?" Timothy asked. Chichi just shook her head. She had no idea.
