Chapter 81
CARSON Lynx darted to the pack house and let me take over when we got closer. Grabbing a pair of sports shorts that were left near the front door, I placed them on and ran up to my mother’s room where I could hear my mum scream. What the hell? I ran in and stopped, watching as my mum threw a vase at the wall. “Get out!” She screamed at the person in front of her—the pack doctor. “Leave me alone. I don’t need you here.” “Mum,” I said, stepping inside and getting in front of the doctor. Mum moved away from me but kept glaring at the man behind me. “Get him out!” What the hell happened? Placing my hands up and making sure mum knew I wasn’t a threat, I quickly glanced around till I found Cassie, standing in the bedroom doorway. She looked frightened. My eyes went back to mum, who looked pissed. “Carson, tell that man to leave. I don’t want him anywhere near me.” “Okay mum,” I said, stepping closer making sure my whole body was blocking the view of the doctor till I looked over my shoulder at the pack doctor, who had been treating her since the death of my father. He had always been her doctor. What the hell could he have done to her to make her this way? Looking back at my mother, I held my hands up and motioned for her to sit. “He’s going. Let him leave.” My eyes darted to the couch and then back to her. “You need to calm down, how about you sit? Please, mum. Sit with me. We can talk. We can do whatever you want, just calm down.” Mum looked at me for a moment before she calms slightly. She let out a breath and nodded, letting me know she was going to do what I had asked of her. She walked over to the couch and sat, but her eyes were on the pack doctor. “Get him out of here. I don’t want him here anymore.” I nodded. “Sure, I will see him out myself.” My eyes moved to the doorway, just as Cassie came further into the room. “Cassie will make some tea, and you tell me what happened once I make sure the doctor has gone.” Mum said nothing but stared at the pack doctor. I looked at the man and frowned. His eyes full of concern till he looked at me. Lynx came closer, making the damn doctor jump. “Move.” The word was forced out of my mouth and watched the pack doctor leave. I followed him till we were outside. Closing the door, I stared at him. “What the hell happened?” Lynx stayed close but said nothing. His concern for our mother was there, but he was more interested in what this fool had to say. “What the hell happened?” I growled again, making the man flinch at my tone. The pack doctor stared and started to talk. “Alpha, I came here to give our luna her medication like normal. She was fine but suddenly she just turned crazy on me. I don’t know what happened, but she freaked.” That wasn’t normal. Mum was a loving woman, especially when my father was around but when he was taken from us, she went completely numb. She shut down all emotions. The only thing she would do was sleep. She was more zombie like. “Alpha, she needs to take—” the pack doctor said, making me look at him but I shook my head at him. “Not today. She can do without the medication.” The pack doctor stared at me for a moment, when his face hardened. “She needs them alpha, the gamma said she—” As soon as I heard the word gamma, a low growl erupted through me from Lynx and I moved fast and slammed the damn man up against the wall with my hand wrapped his throat, tightening. “What did you just say?” The pack doctor struggled under my strength and began to spill. “The luna was struggling with the death of her mate. The gamma came to visit her and mentioned to give her medication to help her with the pain.” “Why?” The pack doctor gasped. “I don’t… I don’t know.” Lynx stood on all fours, growling. He wanted out. Knowing I needed more information from this man, I needed to have Zain talk to him. Opening a mind link to him. “Stop what you are doing and get to my mother’s room. You need to talk to the pack doctor; he has some information about the gamma. Did you know that man visited her and even told the pack doctor to give her medication for the pain she was going through.” “Fuck, what the hell?” he growled, his anger sweeping through the mind link “Zain, I need you to get information about the gamma out of him. I need to see to my mother.” “Carson, what about—” he started to say, but my mind was too focused on my mother to remember what I asked him to do before I got here. “Zain, please. I will explain more when you get here,” I gritted. Not letting him answer me back, I closed the mind link and glared back at the pack doctor who stared at me helplessly. “You are going to tell beta Zain everything you know about the gamma and what he had you to do. What medication you gave her? Why? I want everything you know.” I said, squeezing his throat tighter till I could see him try harder to catch his breath. Letting go of his throat, which made him slide down the wall and try to catch his breath. His eyes went to mine when I took a step back, while keeping my eyes on him. Neither one of us spoke, just stared at each other till I heard Zain run up the stairs. It was taking everything in me not to kill the man and to control Lynx, who was having a hard time calming down, especially with the man in front of us. Questions flooded my mind, more than I cared to admit but one stood out. Why would the gamma do something to my mother? Nothing was making any sense. Zain placed his hand on my arm, bringing me back to him but his eyes were on the pack doctor. I started to explain what happened with my mum, and what the doctor had told me. I told everything to him through a mind link, since I didn’t want the doctor to get any idea of what we had found either. A low growl rumbled through him like me. “I will get him to talk,” he said out loud, grabbing the pack doctor by the collar but then back to the mind link that was still open. “Jenny will be there too. Maybe he will know about the mess we are reading too. There was a lot to take with us, so I left her there to get it ready. She did say she would get her car to put them all in, bring it to the pack house too.” I gave him a nod, my eyes still on the pack doctor and then went to my friend. “I’ll be down later,” I said, turning back to my mother’s room. “I’m going to stay with my mum.” Zain nodded but spoke through the mind link. “If he has been giving her medication, maybe not taking them will help her get back to normal.” That was what I was hoping. Maybe mum knew something. Lynx grunted in agreement. Zain took the pack doctor away, while I headed inside to see my sister and mum.
