P.o.V. Alpha Darren
It had been a relatively quiet few days. With all the kids out of school, many of the pack members were spending time with their families or taking short trips. I made sure we didn't have guests so the omegas and warriors could have shorter shifts and lighter duties. I'd even given them the week off from handling the meeting areas since it wasn't going to be very busy.
I was cleaning up one of the meeting rooms after a few of the elders stopped by when Troi burst into my head, startling Tybris who also didn't notice the mindlink opening, "Dad, where are you? We have serious news from High Valley. We need to see you now."
"In the small meeting room by my office. Come straight here. I'll wait for you," I responded quickly. Even through the mindlink I could tell they were rushing this way a
P.o.V. ???I couldn’t help but be suspicious when Envy brought word that our spy made it out of HIgh Valley. From his last several reports it seemed like he was growing worried about being discovered. He was fishing for support or reassurance from our people whenever he delivered information for the last three months. When he suddenly went silent, we were sure that he had been caught and at least imprisoned. Dime and his partners were incredibly surprised last night when he was sitting at one of the rendezvous points seemingly without a tail.After the last instance of High Valley releasing someone to track us, Envy wasn’t taking any chances, “I had them take him to one of the safehouses on the opposite side of the river. We will hold him there for a few days and have one of your stand-ins go and pay him a visit. What do you want them
P.o.V. TroiWe couldn’t forget our father's cowardice after storming out of his office that evening, but avoiding spending time with him was easy as fall passed into winter. We spent every weekend and school break either working with the Grey Peak warriors with Commander Alexi and Leftenant Adrian or in High Valley. Part of us did understand his concern. However, if information on us had been passed to the rogues, it wouldn’t matter if we were in High Valley or Grey Peak. They were coming after Alphas so we would inevitably be a target if we weren’t already. It made far more sense to work to strengthen the overall security than to run away and hope someone else does.Before all of this, father was teaching us to be a strong Alpha who was not above any task our pack needed and would protect our people. But every time it came to the poi
P.o.V. NarratorBo’s birthday was on a Thursday, so Troi planned on staying in Grey Peak and working with the trainees and recruits that weekend. Chris invited Silva to come to the territory, so they could spend it with his family and she readily agreed. He had brought her to the pack before for introductions and a few times for short visits, but this time she was going to stay the whole weekend for different plans with different members of his family. It was rather extensive since they had lived in Grey Peak since it was founded and included two Elders who each wanted their own sitdown with their future relative. Though they weren’t going to have much time outside of Bo’s birthday activities, Silva was going to bunk with Troi in the packhouse. Luna Fallow wanted to make up a guest room, but Troi managed to win the battle and Silva was going to stay in their room.
P.o.V. TroiBo’s party was successful. The class was fun and we all made some amazing chicken parmesan for lunch. Tyko joined in, of course, and we were a little worried Bo would be too distracted and miss out on his party like Silva had. This was unfounded though. He seemed even more focused with her there and she was always holding things out and passing ingredients without him even asking. She didn’t stay for his private lesson and he seemed a little worried to let her leave until we offered to keep her near us until they were ready to present what he was cooking.The afternoon was pleasant enough. We had always enjoyed spending time with Tyko. She had visited but only for short periods or later in the evening so had never seen the greenhouses even though she had used some of the herbs we had sold to the witches. We spent the afternoon w
P.o.V. TroiOur brain felt like it was misfiring as we tried to take in what Tyko could possibly have meant. It sounded like a prediction was involved, but did it mean we were not going to be the Alpha of Grey Peak or High Valley? Maybe it was specific to her and she was only destined to serve under us but didn’t want to wait for us to take over? We kept turning over what she said and sat completely quiet for an undetermined amount of time before she took pity on us and explained more.“As I said I am not an oracle, but sorcerers have more reach than your average magic user,” she said while shifting uncomfortably. “I only know two things for sure. YOU will be my Alpha. And something big is coming that I need to help you prepare for. So I do not see a point in waiting. I am mated to one of your pack members and will not be reject
P.o.V. Narrator Tyko and Bo set their bonding ceremony for the weekend before the end of their school semester. Tyko was not tied to staying in the coven and wanted to move into pack territory as soon as possible so that they didn’t have to be apart as much. Her aunt had no problems with it, but Tyko did request housing of her own until Bo reached eighteen, so that he was of age in her culture when they began staying together. Bo was upset at the idea of being apart from her every night for almost a year, but she would not be talked around. He was slightly jealous of Chris and Silva who were planning on completing their mating ceremony over the break as well, but after the ball so that some of Silva’s extended family could come. They had already arranged to have shared lodgings in both packs while they finished school.
P.o.V. TykoThe lycans were always an interesting group to spend time with. It started as curiosity after hearing so much about them from class. When a group of them was interested in spending time with other species, I could not resist the opportunity to get a closer look. Over time I grew fond of their quirky behavior and openness with each other and those they considered friends. I realized that they did not recognize how they treated those outside of their group differently.As a whole the werewolves would keep to their own kind in the hallways and lunch rooms. Anywhere where large groups gathered. But when they were in smaller groups, especially on their own, they would form their own mini-packs. It didn’t seem to matter if those in it were also werewolves. They were In and everyone else was Out. Being on the outside did not mean anything ba
P.o.V. BoBo’s bonding ceremony with Tyko was held in the coven’s territory. They claimed it was so that they could more easily complete her side of it, but that wasn’t entirely true. With Coven Mistress Caldwell performing the ceremony and knowing in advance she could have made alterations and preparations to hold it at Grey Peak. The reason she insisted that they hold it at the coven’s territory was so that Tyko could be bound to Troi as an Alpha without anyone noticing. Apparently mistress Caldweell was concerned about the possible reaction when the channel between them opened and didn’t want to risk anyone at Grey Peak finding out.Tyko was worried that he would not be willing to go along with the request when she spoke with Bo about it, but he was encouraging. More than anything he was just happy to complete their mat
