Chapter 97 Jazzamine
The sound that just came out of Thomas is going to haunt me for life. It was one of pure anguish. I was standing a few feet away to give him the space he asked me for. I have been trying to stay still so he can do this but at that noise I couldn’t control my reaction even if I wanted to. It seems that Creed feels the same way  because within seconds we collide into each other and Thomas's chest. I smile inwardly but on the outside I am squeezing him as tight as I can while Zelene purrs like a damn engine. Creed's omega is doing the same but his has a tiny whine at the end cause his alpha is hurting and he doesn’t know how to fix it. I glance at him and then Thomas who is crying into Creed’s hair. I glance back to Tyler and see him still  on his ass where he fell with his head between his knees crying. Shit someone needs to be with him too. With that in mind, I lift up to my toes and whisper in Thomas’s ear, “Hey Champ, will you be ok if I go check on Ty? Creed will stay here with you so your not loosing both of us.” I gently run my hand thru his hair while I wait for his acknowledgement that he heard me. With a slight turn of his head and a quick nod I peck him on the cheek and make my way towards Tyler’s hunched form.  

I get within inches of him before I squat down to his level and say, “Hey Stud muffin?” I hear the watery chuckle before he lifts his head up and I damn near start crying to at the look of devastation n his face. One second I'm kneeling on the floor the next I'm pulled into his lap w and squeezed to an inch of my life. “Oh, sweetie.” I tell him softly as I run my hands gently thru his hair while he rests his head on my chest. I wait for a little bit to let the boys get thru the emotions they are feeling before I try to ask who Koa is and why it's got my boys wounded like this.

I’m lost in our little world when I feel someone touch my shoulder and turn my head to find Trent on our level. “Is he ok?” He mouths and I shake my head no in response. Because right now he is not ok. He is still trying to get himself under control and I k ow Thomas is feeling the same way with the way I can hear Creed's purr ramping up. I glance at Ty and ask, “Stud is it ok if I ask Trent about Koa?” He tenses at my question and I can feel more than hear the rough exhale he releases before he sits up and looks at me. He glances at Trent who waits patiently for his decision then looks at Thomas and says, “No it's ok Queenie I can tell you. Thank you for asking first tho love.” I lean forward an kiss his nose as I tell him “If your sure than I would love to hear about him and the rest of your story please.” He smiles sadly down at me and pulls me to his chest to whisper in my ear, “I'm sure but I would feel better if you did whatever you did for Thomas when he got upset.” I glance at him with wide eyes then he says so softly that it was hard for me to hear, “Please" with that soft spoken word on the breeze I lay my head on his chest and purr for him. I will do it for as long as he or Thomas needs me too. If me purring is able to help them cope thru the raw emotions that this conversations is bringing up then that is what I will do for my mates.

As soon as Zelene releases her mating purr Tyler's body response is immediate. His tensed up muscles started to relax and he release a heavy pent up exhale. He starts breathing like something heavy was just lifted off his chest and he can now breathe freely. I smile and adjust myself until I'm comfortable while he keeps holding me close and taking steady breaths to regain his ability to speak. Trent pops right down next to us and puts his hands on his knees waiting for Ty to start this heart breaking story it seems. “Roughly 30 years or so ago.” He starts roughly but stops to clear his throat and tries again. “There was an incident involving a group of friends hanging out on the edge of our territory.” He stops again to take a breath and says, “ These friends were our parents and a few other people. Mom and dad were there but wasn’t together at the time. They were there with Uncle Koa and a few other people. I honestly cant remember their names right now.”

Ty looked towards the ceiling in thought when Killian piped up from beside us. “It was my mom, dad and auntie. If I can remember correctly they were the best of friends growing up. Hell I even think my aunt used to date your uncle Ty.” I had turned my head towards him and see him sitting in the chair Thomas and me had vacated rubbing his chin in thought. Thomas turned towards him too and asked, “What was your aunts name Kill?” Killian drops his hand as he looks at Thomas with furrowed brows. “Um, I think her name was Violet T. I cant remember she passed away when I was just a boy because she was sick.” I come to the realization of how and watch as the others do too. Thomas and Tyler's face goes ashen and Kill clenches his jaw in anger. I wince at the growl someone releases when the others figured it out to. There is really only one true way a supernatural can get sick and that’s if their shifter soul is too weak to fight it or if their shifter side is dead.

Of course you can cause these symptoms with poison or with magic but the effects are never long lasting once you figure out what caused it. No for the shifter soul to be so weak that the human gets a human virus then that means her wolfs soul had already passed away when she got sick. I lean my head back on Ty's chest and listen to the others talking about this revelation. I know of someone who will know what happened that day so I decide to look inward to find the one living soul who has direct access to that knowledge. Maya.  It takes me a lot longer than normal to locate her in our shared space. Once I do tho it seems that since were ok for the moment she hid herself in a dark quiet corner and is watching everyone like a hawk.
