“Nope, they slowed down as they drove past, but we captured their faces on the security cameras. Zane is tracking them down. Glenn also gave me the photos he took at the truck stop so that should help. By the way, did Sawyer tell you they were attacked in LA?”
“No…and neither Hunt or Mase mentioned it to me, so what happened?”
“Don’t know. Sawyer killed them and, so far, Glenn’s contact hasn’t been able to find out who they were,” Dylon said.
“See what you can find out. And I think it’s time for me to meet my cuz’s mates,” Jackson said, smiling as he stood.
“I’ll be with Zane,” Dylon said as he headed out the door.
“Thanks,” Jackson said before leaving his study. Frowning at the news of an attack on his cousin and mates, Jackson made a mental note to speak to Hunt about it once more information surfaced. Although he wanted to push Sawyer for an explanation now, he decided not to; it could wait until morning when he’d be meeting with him, Alex and Glenn about their gifts. Descending the staircase leading to the hospital, he heard Sawyer’s pleading voice floating down the hallway.
Remembering the same tone in Steel’s voice during his pregnancy, Jackson was chuckling as he reached the examining room door. Knocking, he called out, “Mac, Sawyer…everything all right?” Hearing no response, Jackson entered, finding Mac standing just inside the doorway. Glancing around he saw Sawyer trying to undress one of his mates.
Sawyer shot a glance at Glenn. “Just don’t stand there, help me!”
“I don’t need any help,” Alex said, petulantly. “I am fully capable of doing it myself. I just don’t see the need for it.”
Shrugging, Glenn said, “I agree with buttercup. Mac can examine him with his clothes on.”
“No…no, that won’t do at all. Mac needs to do a full work-up to make sure the pup wasn’t hurt with your wild driving,” Sawyer insisted, giving Glenn a dirty look.
“He’s not a pup, he’s a tiger cub…and a fox cub,” Alex said, softly.
Recognizing a Mexican stand-off when he saw one, Jackson took Mac aside and asked, quietly, “Is it necessary for Alex to undress?”
Shaking his head, Mac murmured, “Nope, Sawyer’s got it wrong, but nothing’ll change his mind. My twin is infected with Dadzilla…a disease that goes away only when the baby is born.”
Chuckling, Jackson knew about it quite well, having been exposed to it when Steel came down with it during his pregnancy. Stepping further into the room, he sent out a wave of Alpha power toward Sawyer who tilted his head in shock. Glancing over at Alex and Glenn, he noted the tiger shifter was also affected by his Alpha power but Alex was not.How interesting…something to ask Oracle about.
Pulling back his power, Jackson smiled at the unique shifter. “Hi Alex, I’m Jackson, Sawyer’s cousin and Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. Welcome.”
