 Sorry for the short chapter guys, but it has a lot of information in it so I hope you enjoy it and some of your questions are finally answered!

I'm hoping to finish the story  completely by Saturday afternoon, since thats when I'm leaving for Myrtle Beach!

Chapter 32

Two hours later and my head was about ready to explode with information.  The entire pack, except for the three keeping watch outside, was sitting in the “pack meeting room” as I was told it was called.  Charlie, Christopher, and the three other “rescue wolves” as I like to call them were sitting on a couch in the front with me and Jackson.  It turns out those three other rescue wolves were named Samuel, Dodger, and Chase.  Samuel was the one who had talked to me during the fight with Carter, and he was my father’s Beta.  Yeah, which meant my father was the Alpha.  Of a pack.  Of over a thousand shifters like me.  I think this is where my mind first started to feel like it was on over load.

But it didn’t stop there.  I also found out that on the weekend Mel and I went to New York City, Carter had snuck into my town and put Miltoniopsis in the school water.  And then of course someone had to explain to me what this Militony thingy was, that I still couldn’t pronounce no matter how many times I heard it said around me.  They explained it was a certain drug that could be deadly to shifters.  Depending on what else it was mixed with, it could be used as a poison to kill, a tranquilizer, or a drug used to just stop a shifter from being able to shift.  Carter had put the deadly poison of it into the school water, which was why I became so sick.

But this is where things get a little confusing.  This poison is absolutely DEADLY to shifters.  Even one drop can kill them within a day.  A shifter has never lived once they ingested the poison, or it was injected into them.  Except I did.  Not only did I live that time, but it turns out Carter once again injected me with a lethal amount of the drug version of the Mily thing.  (That’s what I’ve started to call it now.)  Not only can the drug be used on shifters but it can also work on humans, but the amount of dosage has to be changed to an amount that would be deadly to a shifter.  And carter put that into my system, thinking that I was a human.  And yet, I didn’t have any lasting repercussions, besides not being able to shift.  And of course the knife well stabbed me with was covered in the poison version of Mily, meant to stop a shifter from being able to shift and killing it at the same time.  But it did neither to me.

Shawn had realized it didn’t affect me in the normal way when Mel stabbed me and he had said, “she’ll heal.”  He had made this judgment based on his observations that so far the drug hadn’t killed me, so I might have some kind of resistance to it.  Then he suggested that it was because I was half human.  But Charlie spoke up then and said Christopher and him were also half human, and they weren’t resistant to Mily at all.  Shawn just shrugged and said it was all he had for an idea as to why it happened. 

This is where two hours had gotten us, and like I said, my head was spinning with all the information.

“You’re necklace,” Shawn suddenly said.  “Does it really cover your scent?”

I looked down at the necklace Dakotah had given me.  It was a simple stone that swirled with different colors of purple.  It was beautiful and it had been easy to promise Dakotah I’d always wear it.

“I’m not sure…” I said to Shawn, but then decided there was only one way to find out.  I turned the necklace around and unhooked it, taking it off me completely and setting it on the floor.  As soon as the necklace touched the floor, every shifter’s eyes widened in shock. 

“It does,” Christopher whispered behind me.  “Where did you get that?”

Even though I felt a natural trust for the man who was my brother, for some reason I didn’t want to tell anyone else about Dakotah.  So all I said was, “A friend.”

Christopher’s eyes narrowed on me a little.  He knew there was more to the story but he turned his head away, at least letting me keep this secret to myself.

Suddenly my ears picked up a noise from outside.  It sounded like a car was driving up the dirt road that led to the cabin.

I turned to Christopher quickly.  “You don’t think…?”  I let my question hang in the air, not wanting to voice my worry.

But Christopher just smiled and shook his head.  “I don’t think its Mel’s dad, I think it’s ours.”
