Restoring The Blue Eyed Wolf.

Chapter 68.

Natalie's POV.

We have been running for hours. Nightfall was fast approaching and Rick had to be exhausted. We haven't talked through mind link for a few hours and I was growing tired.

We still had a very long way to go and more then likely wouldn't make it there by 4 in the morning at earliest.

We are close to Alpha Anthony's pack. I nudge Rick and he and I slow to a stop for a break. " Is everything ok?" He asked me.

" It's getting late. Why don't we see if we can spend the night here at Alpha Anthony's pack and head out first thing in the morning?" I ask.

He looks the way we are heading. Finally he decides what to do. " Let's head that way then. You can contact John and tell him we will be there sometimes tomorrow. " said Rick.

I agree and we start walking instead for a few minutes. I then send a mind link to John. " Are you still awake?" I ask.

" Hey mom, yeah I'm awake. How far away are you guys? It's getting late. " said John right away.

I feel joy at the voice of my son. It's always made me happy to hear the voice of my baby boy. I miss him so much. " That's what I wanted to talk to you about. We are still about six to seven hours out and have decided to stop at Alpha Anthony's pack for the night and leave early tomorrow morning. " I said.

I can feel some disappointment from him but it's understandable. " I understand. It is a bit disappointing but I want you two to be safe. Besides Alpha Grace he's practically ordered me to go to bed early today." Said John.

A bit of motherly concern flowed in and I knew something had happened. " Why? What happened?" I ask.

I can feel him smiling. " You always know, don't you?" He said.

" It's a mothers job to always know when something happens to her kids. Now tell me, what happened?" I ask.

" Alpha Grace found me in the middle of an anxiety attack and had to calm me down today. She's insisting I rest and let her take a bit more of my responsibility's so I can heal better but still be of help. " said John.

I felt for him. I know what happened to him before practically ruined everything he had been working towards. It's amazing and stupid what a single injury to a limb can do to your life. Especially if said injury turns out to be permanent like his is.

" It'll be ok John. Listen to her. She's dealt and still deals with people who have the same type of injuries as you. She helps people through their anxiety all the time. She knows what she's doing. Just be patient with her. " I said.

" I know. I just don't want to feel like I'm useless because of a simple injury. " said John.

" Sweetie, your injury isn't simple. It's permanent and that's ok. You just have to learn to work around it. A permanent injury doesn't make you useless either. You will excel at anything you do not because of the usefulness of uselessness of your limbs, but because of your determination to not give up and push forward. You are strong John. We have your back through it all. Never forget that. " I said.

" Thanks mom. You always know just what to say. " said John.

" We're about five minutes away from Alpha Anthony's pack border. I've got to go so I can focus more on what will happen, but I'll send you a goodnight mind link when we make it to a room. I love you my son. " I said.

" Love you too mom. Stay safe. " we then cut the mind link and I contacted my husband.

" Is anyone going to meet us at the borders? " I ask.
