Tommy walked into the room half an hour later to find Kira and SeoHyun finishing up the new song, both holding guitars. This was the first time he had seen Kira with a guitar since her miscarriage and he saw it as a very good sign that she was on the road to recovery.

The girls started to school without incident and it seemed that being busy helped them settle in even more. SeoHyun enjoyed her school and getting to focus on her passion for baking especially the sweet things that everyone loved. He noted early on from the baking creations she brought back when she did bring her schoolwork home that she had a natural talent for baking. The pack looked forward to getting any of her baked goods, cupcakes were always a hit with them and if he were honest he was right there with them. They saw her confidence grow with the compliments she got on her baking creations even though they embarrassed her.
He had become a bit concerned when she started spending a lot of time with a guy that she had classes with. Sure he had no reason to suspect that Jacob Hendel was a risk to SeoHyun, but he was going to keep watch in case something went south.
SeoHyun had been worried when Tommy said that he wanted to meet Jacob before their first real date.
"SeoHyun, I'm not going to hurt him I just want to make sure you're going to be safe." He assured her as she made an attempt to protest this meeting. "I'm your alpha remember, that is my job."
"He doesn't know I'm a werewolf." She protested "Besides he would never hurt me."
"I'll just tell him your father is a friend of mine and I told him I'd look after you while you were here in San Francisco, sound good?" Tommy gave her a side hug in an attempt to reassure her.
She nodded "Yes, it does." but it was clear she was still nervous about the whole thing.
The day of the date came around and Jacob was confused as to why Tommy wanted to meet him but came in to meet him anyway.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O/PR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Tommy watched as Jacob entered the house and the idea that he didn't know SeoHyun was a werewolf went right down the drain when he realized Jacob was part fae. That was when things began to make sense, she had been a little to insistent that he was safe and that he didn't need to meet Jacob. Did he have her enthralled in some way, he had to push back his growl as he asked to speak with Jacob in private. He had slipped an order to SeoHyun that she wasn't to spy on them.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O/PR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
They got into his office, shut the door and Tommy spun on Jacob.
"When were you planning on telling SeoHyun that you're part Fae?" he demanded.
"Eventually…" Jacob replied "So I'm right about her, she is a werewolf; I noticed the authority you slipped into the order to stay and not eavesdrop on us. Don't worry, Alpha, I'm not going to hurt your precious submissive." his tone was almost patronizing which only served to anger Tommy more.
"Funny how I find that hard to believe," Tommy replied well aware of Jacob's attempt to influence him with magic. "True full blood fae cannot lie, but some that are part fae can lie all they see fit. You forget I learned to be a werewolf just miles from the reservation in Walla Walla. I know more about fae than most werewolves do so you'll have to forgive me if I don't seem to trust your word. You should also be aware that her father is none other than Charles Cornick so I would tread lightly if I were you, if you're actions are seen as possibly inciting a war between wolves and the fae, you never know the Grey Lords might see you as expendable." He meant that to be every ounce the threat it sounded.
That seemed to hit home with Jacob for a moment "You're bluffing, the Grey Lords would never see our relationship as a risk for starting a war."
"Are you sure, you are dating the Marrok's granddaughter after all, though if you intend to treat her well and take care of her there shouldn't be any issues, otherwise… I would end this charade now before someone got hurt, namely you."
Jacob left the office in a huff and practically dragged SeoHyun out the door, which scared her. What had happened in there? What had Tommy said that had him so angry?
Jacob calmed down and admitted that he had overreacted to what Tommy had said when he grabbed her, and that he understood that Tommy was only trying to protect her. It was the truth as far as it went but something bugged SeoHyun about what he was saying. She became more concerned as they drove to the restaurant and he began to try and sneak his hand under her skirt.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O/PR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Kara ran to Tommy in fear as she saw Jacob drive off with SeoHyun. Tommy growled and took out after them.
"Jacob, stop, I told you I'm not ready for that." SeoHyun said as Jacob tried to slip his hand into her panties.
"You will do what you are told." He said.
"You aren't my father or my alpha, you can't control me!" she bellowed angrily as she began to fight him.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O/PR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Tommy gasped in horror as SeoHyun jumped from Jacob's car on the freeway at close to 80 miles per hour and slammed on his breaks along with jerking the steering wheel to one side to keep from hitting her but was unable to prevent another vehicle from striking her. It was going at just about 20 having slammed on the brakes with speed that would have done justice to a werewolf. He jumped out of his own Jeep and ran to her as Jason and several others, including the driver that hit her who was another pack member, joined them.
"Why did you do that?" he asked adrenaline still pumping through his veins, then he realized by her gasps that she was injured worse than he thought. The medic checked her and told him she needed him to calm down. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
"She needs you to share your power with her to heal."
Tommy knew what that meant so without a word he pulled a pocket knife and cut a small piece of flesh from his arm and fed it to her.
"Would changing help her any?" Jason asked.
"Yes, immensely" the medic replied.
"Do we know why she even did this?" The driver, Robert Park asked.
SeoHyun tried to speak but found that she could barely make a sound.
"Don't speak…You can tell us everything once you've recovered." Tommy said his tone soft as he brushed her hair away from her face.
"I need you to change, can you do that?" he asked "Don't speak, just nod."
She hesitated then nodded and they carried her inside to a vehicle where her clothes were cut off and she began her change, Tommy never leaving her side so she could benefit from his energy to speed up and ease the change. Tommy's phone rang and he saw it was Bran and he answered it as they arrived back at the house and took SeoHyun to the safe room.
"Hello?" he said.
"Thomas, is everything okay with SeoHyun?"
"It will be" Tommy signed "I don't have the whole story as to what happened, all I know right now is she jumped out of a moving car."
Tommy cringed at how bad that sounded as Jason brought a couple of pounds of raw meat cut into small chunks that Tommy could feet to SeoHyun. They knew leaving her in the safe room by herself wasn't a good idea she didn't have many good associations with the safe room and they would need to be there to help her overcome that.
"Once you know what is happening please let me know." Bran said.
"Will do," Tommy assured him.
After he got off the phone he got SeoHyun to put her head in his lap and began to give her the pieces of raw beef.
