My Job.
(Patrick)
Swiping my hand across my shots I try to rid Anna’s blood from my hand but it’s no use. It’s already dried so it’s going to stay
there until I actually shower or at the very least wash my hands.
“How is she?” Eliza whispers coming up behind me, I look at her and see she’s in a similar state of dress as me.
“I told you not to come.” I use a low voice so as not to disturb everyone helping Anna.
“Like I’m going to stay back while someone is using a gun on
Packland. I’ve never heard of a shifter using a gun before,” I look over at Doctor Lee as he makes a victory sound and holds up a
small bullet in between some tweezers. I’m instantly moving forward in confusion, I need a closer look because I swear that
bullet is blinking.
“Any deeper and you might have needed surgery but as it is, a few stitches and you will be fine.” Doctor Lee says to a dazed and
pale looking Anna, “someone get this Luna a stiff drink while I sew her up.” Doc turns and drops the bullet in a little dish before
turning to grab his sewing stuff.
“Listen, I’m no bullet expert.” I hold the little tray up to my eye and see. I’m right, there is a little blue light blinking at the end of it.
“But I’m pretty sure they don’t have lights on them.”
“Let me see,” I pass the tray to Fraction after he hands Anna a glass of whiskey which she just holds in her shaking hand. “It
doesn’t look like any bullet I’ve ever seen.”

“It’s a tracking bullet,” me and Fraction both look at Eliza. “My papa used to hunt with a group of humans and they used bullets
like these so they could track their prey.” I scrunch my nose up at the idea of shooting a deer, I’ll take claws over a gun anyday.

“So you can buy them at any hunting shop?” Fraction asks Eliza while sipping on his own whiskey.

“If they sell hunting guns then sure but you know what this means right?” Eliza asks as she curls herself into one of the chairs in
the office.
“Someone shot Anna to keep tabs on her not to kill her,” I mutter as I look at the bullet again. “Who have you pissed off?” I ask
Fraction.
“Ow! That hurt!” All of us shoot our eyes to Anna who is batting at the Doc trying to place the last stitch. Her glass is empty and
she’s just clutching it like it’s the most precious thing in the world to her. “I want Thomas home, now.” I smile at Eliza, thankful
that I was able to guess my Luna’s thoughts.
“Already tucked up his bed, I’ll take a thank you in the form of my own drink.” I shake my head as Eliza holds her hand out to
Fraction.
‘Anything? I mind link with James as the Doc tells Fraction how to change Anna’s bandage now he’s done sewing her up.
‘Nothing, not even the scent of gunpowder.‘ James sounds annoyed that his search has not brought anything up. I watch the Doc
slip from the office and close the door behind him.
‘You checked around the trees in the back garden? It came through the kitchen window.‘ I rub my fingers on the bridge of my
nose, how can there be no scent of an intruder.
‘Yeah, maybe it was a hunting shot gone wide?‘ I snort at this.

“Not likely, it’s not hunting season. Doc is done, the warriors will stay out, you come back here.‘ I instruct James as I close the
link, he might be the Beta but this situation is my job, I call the shots.
“I don’t want Anna or the pups anywhere without an escort until we find who did this.” I tell Anna and Fraction as I perch against
the desk.
“A bit dramatic.” Anna’s words are a little slurred, I’m guessing the pain pills, shock and whiskey are taking effect.
“No, he’s right. I also don’t want you off Packland until I know what’s happening.” Anna smiles as Fraction tells her this.

“So no Moon Ceremony?” She sounds a little too happy about this.
“Nice try, you’re coming. We will have enough warriors to keep you protected.” Fraction just stares at Anna and they seem to
have a silent. conversation. I watch Anna’s shoulders slump as she realises she’s got no choice in the matter.
James walks into the office closing the door behind him, he’s wearing jeans, a red button down and boots. I guess he dressed
before coming. in because I know he shifted to help in the search.
“Where were you?” Fraction is on his feet the second the door opens.
“Out. I shifted and joined the patrol as soon as you linked.” James says, coming to a stop and staring at our Alpha.
“Out? My mate got shot in our own home and you were out?” James bites his lip as our Alpha chews into him, as Beta he should
be here all the time unless Fraction knows about it beforehand. “Was he worth
it?”

“What’s happening?” I ask, looking between James and Fraction in confusion.

“James found his mate but he’s fighting it and now he’s so busy with his mate he can’t be here to help when he’s needed.”
Everyone in the room is instantly at attention, James finding a mate is a big deal so I don’t know why he’s fighting it.
“That’s not fair, me being here wouldn’t have stopped Anna from being shot!” He’s right but Fraction isn’t exactly seeing sense
right now.
“Both of you need to calm down,” I look between both of the guys. “We need to figure out who did this. James maybe start
making some calls, see if anyone knows of any rogues who use guns?” James just nods before storming from the office.
“Fraction, maybe it’s worth taking Anna to bed?” I nod my head at Anna whose head is falling forward onto her chest, the shock
has worn off and she’s crashing.
“Fine but I want an update by morning,” he comes around his desk and scoops Anna up into his arms. “Keep a warrior on each
of the pups.” He takes a few steps before looking at me, “make it two a piece.”
Once alone with Eliza in the office I walk over to the liquor bar and pour myself a decent size drink before slamming it down,
once it’s empty I pour another.
“What was all that?” Eliza asks me as I pour my third drink.
“Things are changing.” I mutter into my glass.
