Chapter 95: Periphery
Troi
We couldn't move fast enough to get out from between Patrick and his mate. As we jumped aside, she stepped forward and slowly reached for him. He stood and took her hand gently, never breaking eye contact. There was a feeling of electricity between the two as they just stood and stared.
She was about average height for a she-wolf and stood eye-to-eye with Patrick. She wasn't dressed like many of the other ladies in attendance. Many were dripping with jewels and had elaborate hairstyles and clearly spent tons on their dresses. She wore a simple dress that suited her well and her hair was in a pretty, twisted bun.
We hoped these were good signs. Maybe she could help ground Patrick and encourage him to bond with Colm. Maybe she wouldn't be all tied up in expectations like our mother's and could help him b

PatrickI was so glad to be out of school the morning after my birthday party. As soon as I found Trisha, I couldn't imagine being away from her for a few hours, much less an entire day. Luckily mother planned ahead and had one of the guest suites ready for her. We were able to talk late into the night before I showed her around the packhouse and said goodnight. She was one floor below me, but it felt like miles as I made my way up to my own room.I couldn't sleep with all the excitement over her being so near and got up a few times to go to her room, but stopped myself before I made it out the door. As soon as the sun was up, I rushed down to escort her to breakfast. She must have had a long night too since she was already up and dressed when I knocked.She looked just as amazing in her regular clothes and

TroiOn our walk to the packhouse after school, we told the others to watch what they said in front of the guests, including Trisha. While she was our brother's mate, from what we knew she may be the sole child of an unknown Alpha. Our brother's future role within this pack was already questionable since he remained reluctant to work with us. With the possibility of him being needed to lead another pack, we should keep our own pack details away from the Flowing Waters pack members.Patrick had kept himself out of our business and Dad said he'd been avoiding any Alpha affairs just as much as before the announcement. When he first started staying home, we were slightly concerned that Mother would make sure his time would be spent working to undermine our role with Dad and the leaders. It ended up being unfounded as he'd kept to himself aside from times w

Alpha DarrenThe clock struck six and I realized I hadn’t even had lunch. Everything today seemed to have run together and taken far too long. I had hoped to get to spend lunch with Patrick and his new mate, but Fallon wanted some alone time with them. I still went running with Colm while Fallon stayed with his mate and her packmates, but we didn’t get a chance to speak with Colm behaving as agitated as he was being away from his unmarked mate.Colm was still not reaching out to Patrick. I could tell that Patrick could read his agitation, but I think he dismissed it as Colm wanting to mate and mark Trisha. Really the wolf didn’t like her being out of his sight and wanted to be there to protect her more than anything, but he just wasn’t relaying that information. The fact that Patrick left her with two unmated males actually surp
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 99: Play Acting
EnvyI never expected any of this. I don’t think I ever considered I could find my mate when I left my pack. Going all over the place to fulfill our work to eliminate the packs brought me into close contact with hundreds of wolves in the almost three years since I came of age. Strigga never responded to anyone. She didn’t even seem interested. She was happy to hunt and kill prey and otherwise be left alone.But this boy… this son of an Alpha brought her to life. I began to feel connections I had thought severed long ago when my father's eyes, so full of tears and hate, watched me leave our territory. And all the time she is begging to be closer to him and bask in his wonderful scent and feel the sparks run up our arm when we hold hands. I felt myself relaxing in his presence and listening intently to everything he said in an almost f
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 100: Suspicions
TroiWhen Trisha pulled away she shot an embarrassed and scared glance at the everyone present that caused Mother to burst into tears and pull her into a bone crushing hug. Even Dad went over to mutter words of support and how we’d do everything we could to help and that he had the best warriors already on it and had rallied allies. Patrick kept in physical contact with his mate the whole time and pulled her back into his chest as soon as Mother released her. Trisha’s eyes were red, but we noticed that there were no signs of tears on her face, Patrick’s shirt, or Mother’s shoulder.Something about this whole situation felt wrong. Teddy said he got a call from a friend at his pack who said that something had happened. But that was only a couple of hours ago at this point and the coven’s scrying showed that the attack was fa

RichAs if the whole issue with Patrick finding his mate wasn’t enough, now Troi was having to deal with what looked like a war against packs and a potential spy or assassin inside ours. They’ve pushed themselves hard since we all were presented to the pack. Basically doing double duty here and High Valley as well as school activities and warrior training. They started to seem more on edge once people in our friend group started finding mates. It got even worse when their dad named them heir and Patrick got sick and they had even more to deal with. I was waiting for them to snap and I could see the moment it was about to happen.When they began to bulk up and I could see Trajan pushing forward, I knew they had reached a breaking point. I couldn’t tell if it was the news of all the attacks or something with Patrick’s mate or thei
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 102: Breaking Fast
TeddyCaleb’s quick thinking following Patrick’s sister and her friends seems to have paid off. I was able to call and warn our Boss and work out a plan quickly. The rogues torched the pack buildings and burned the bodies after the attack, so all evidence would be untraceable. By the time anyone went to investigate, everyone’s scents would have been wiped clean. He got off the phone with me and I deleted the log of the call. I continued the path I walked and turned towards the training fields. Exactly five minutes later he had one of the guys who joined up with me from Flowing Waters call me. In the brief call, he filled me in on happenings at the base while I acted as if I found out the world ended.I looked up dramatically before running toward the training field to find any leader really. It lucked out that the Beta was there and I
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 103: Coming Clean
PatrickIt was hard to know how to help Envy with everything going on. I was slightly glad we had not completed the marking process. I only occasionally got pangs of stress from her instead of the full blown grief she was clearly under. Moira’s suggestion that Envy stay in my room was completely shocking, but I later realized she must have said that just to get us out of her hair and annoy Mother all at once. Mother was entirely opposed to us staying there together alone, but didn’t want to push the issue openly where others would wonder why. Then she may have to admit she was worried about Colm or pretend she was against us completing the mate-bond for some reason. Either of which would also have benefitted Moira so it was really a win-win for her to make the suggestion.It worked for us. While we didn’t mark each other, we were able
