Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 50 – Destroying the Wight
The flamethrowers activated pretty much at the same time. With short bursts from different flamethrowers, they bathed the wight in fire. Benedict prayed to the Goddess and several other gods in the pantheon that this would work. He might not worship them directly, but he respected their existence as he did the Moon Goddess herself. The creature screamed breaking the eerie silence as it backed away from one wolf for another wolf to hit it with their flame. Clearly the wight didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Benedict could only think that this might be the first time this creature ever saw fire like this. “Flint, keep it from the water. Drive it away. Keep it from the water and walls.” Magnus ordered. Ran and Con snapped at the wight from a safe distance. Snarls rang out from everyone including the wight. They bounced off the walls of the large space. Its screams became anguished quickly. But it took several precious minutes for the proof
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 51 – Peter’s Plight
Ebony watched over Peter. Nothing changed as time ticked by. His breathing didn’t improve, and she silently cursed this entire mess. How it became their job to get rid of this thing and its cursed minions. She couldn’t bear it if Peter became one of them. She didn’t want to lose anyone, but she could feel a change among the slowly growing bond.What made it worse were the feelings she felt from Franco. With Peter, she couldn’t feel his emotions very well, but he was unconscious and injured. Ebony understood it was far worse than that. The magic used to create these creatures was strong and banned. That magic worked like a poison, but it didn’t have a known voiding spell beyond destroying the source of the magic.This hit Franco just as hard, or perhaps harder than it did Ebony. The pain that radiated off Franco affected everyone who came near him.Ebony knew they’d never be the same after this, even if Peter survived. That’s what hurt the worst. They’d not been able to get through the
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 52–Ebony’s Struggles
Everyone around Ebony went into action, either packing or cleaning the evidence of the fighting that happened there. Her mother knelt beside her and took her hand in hers. “Stay with Peter. If he breathes, there’s hope and you’re the best chance he has, love. Franco is fine right now. It’s just too much for him to process. You can relax, no worries. Your dad and I have it covered, and Benedict will be back shortly. When that happens, we’ll leave here.” When in need, her mother excelled at convincing others to follow her desires. She was a force that brought goodness. Because Ebony would feel nothing but terror if her mother was a force for evil. “Okay. I’ll keep it in mind.” Ebony sniffed and used the back of a dirty shirt sleeve to brush the trails of tears on her face before she wiped her tears from Peter, too. Her mother nodded with a comforting smile and pat before she stood to help others get things dealt with as quickly as they could.
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 53–Consoling Franco
Ebony fell asleep in the truck at some point and awoke, leaning on Benedict with Franco on her other side. She didn’t think there was much talking between anyone on the way home. Home. She hadn’t seen her pack territory as home for several years now. Thinking about it felt strange. Even with the nap in the truck, Ebony’s exhaustion hadn’t lessened. She found herself so tired that she could no longer gauge passing time. Ebony winced upon hearing the dread in her voice, asking, “Have we arrived?” Her neck and back both echoed the pain she felt in her words. “Peter, is he still with us?” “Yeah, we’re here. Yes, Peter’s still breathing, but he hasn’t moved or made any sign that he’s aware of us. I’m not sure what will happen next, but your father said they’re dropping everyone off here and then we’re teleporting with Peter to a large hospital that deals with many supernatural creatures because your mom believes they are more likely to have succ
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 54–Benedict’s Discovery
Benedict watched as they prepared to use a mage portal. He’d said nothing to Ebony about how badly Franco was taking Peter’s medical state, or what her mother feared had happened. It was hard enough for him to deal with the news himself. Her mother told him she feared Peter’s body may live, but his soul was another story. That it may have gone too far toward death to come back. If that were the case, then all they could do was stand by and wait for his body to die. She’d tried to explain to Benedict that the Wight basically killed and reanimated his minions, but those they’d destroyed were only the bodies of the Wight’s victims. Their souls were long gone. She feared Peter was too far toward becoming a minion to bring back. Benedict couldn’t tell Ebony or Franco about that. When he tried to illicit help with explaining it to Ebony. Franco stopped him before he could broach the subject. He’d found Franco in crisis. Franco couldn’t accept Pet
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 55 – Learning of Peter’s Situation
Ebony watched the people with her. They sat and waited to hear now that they’d showered and changed. She hated this, and she hated even more that Franco avoided her at every chance he got. Ebony tried to take it up with him, but he left the room. Benedict told her to leave him alone and give him some time. He’d try to talk with him again about it. But he wouldn’t tell Ebony what was wrong with Franco. Now she feared she’d done something wrong, but she didn’t know what she’d done. How could she fix things with a potential mate if he wouldn’t tell her what she did? Between the guilt she felt for how she’d last spoken to Peter, Peter’s condition, Franco’s silence, and Benedict’s abruptness, Ebony felt so alone. Her sisters couldn’t relate to her situation and could give her little advice on what she should say or do. Her mother wasn’t there yet, and her father stood there glaring at everyone. Whenever he saw a staff member, he’d demand an upda
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 57–Dealing with a Pending Death
Ebony didn’t know what she’d do with Franco. What did Franco want? She couldn’t get help from Benedict because Ran pulled him away. Peter was alone somewhere in bed. He couldn’t come to find them. No, the healer said; he wasn’t with them anymore. He’d gone on as if he’d died. Gone on to the next part of his existence, without them. His body lived for now. How long would that last? His soul couldn’t return to his body or them. It wasn’t fair. He’d done nothing to call for such an end. She couldn’t bear the thought he’d suffered. She’d been unaware of it happening right there behind her. Ebony couldn’t apologize to him for the last things she’d said. The whole thing stuck in her craw. She couldn’t make amends to Peter. There’s no way she could explain to him how much she cared for him. She wanted him in her life. Just like Franco and Benedict. How she would miss him. She could not say goodbye to Peter. She’d never get to hold him again. He just wouldn’t be
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 58 – Peter Loses His Fight
Benedict returned to the waiting room and found Ebony gone and Magnus there. “What’s going on? Where’s Ebony and Ivory, for that matter?” “We need to talk right now about Franco.” Magnus started out of the gate with this, and Benedict felt himself losing his patience with Franco and his sudden change in attitude. “Where is he?” Benedict intended to find Franco and set him straight on what would happen from here on out. Franco embarrassed Benedict with his behaviour and he would stand for Franco disrespecting Ebony like this. “He’s with Peter right now. But before you see him again, you need to know what Ivory found out.” Magnus made a placating gesture with his hands. It did little for Benedict’s mood. “What’s wrong? Is it bad?” Benedict hated running around in circles or beating around the bush with conversations. He wanted to know the facts right away. No lies. No placations. Just the facts. Rip the bandage o

Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 116 – Visit to the Healing Center
Ebony took Benedict to the closest healing center she had her Beta call ahead to explain the situation to explain that they weren’t having an emergency but they did need extensive healing for a leader. Her Beta sent a file that Benedict’s Beta received from the healer about his condition so that they could understand what to expect when they arrived. They wouldn’t book an appointment until the healer received it. But when she received the file it took minutes to receive a response. Ebony wasn’t happy that they didn’t seem to accept their words and explanations. It wasn’t until someone recognized Ebony’s last name and connected it to her mother then things changed. “Why did you have no one say anything about it Luna?” A junior healer who worked as a senior administrator and was working as the leader of the group managing Benedict’s needs while was there. “I love my family but I’m not a shadow or a facet of anyone of them. I’m
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 115 – Explain Yourself Love
“When when last spoke and I told you I hadn’t received injuries I wasn’t lying. We had a freak accident nothing that we could have predicted or accounted for. They misplaced truck and the ground was too wet under it. When a second vehicle moved out while they were moving a skid of equipment into place. The earth under the rear wheels shifted off the back of the truck in seconds and I was beneath it. The skid was no longer full but heavy enough to break my femur and three ribs.We had a healer there, so they patched me up. The planes needed several repairs that would take days. I didn’t want them to take time away from the repairs to take me to a healing center then it would take longer to get home. Before you say anything, I didn’t believe I was that severely injured.” Benedict hadn’t believed he’d been that injured until after the Druid had stabilized his breaks and the pain had settled in when his adrenaline had faded. He’d been embarrassed by his response to that, but it was to la
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 114 – Home Coming
Benedict didn’t tell Ebony that he stayed away an extra two days because he had gone to the front lines to review the damage to their equipment and vehicles. Fate got him and he ran right into a freak accident and a human skid slid off the back of a flatbed truck. There was no question about it the accident being an accident. Wolves and humans were working together to pack the truck at the time. But the mud under the truck shifted when another vehicle started and moved out.He’d left with a broken leg and three ribs. At least they’d had a druid healer here who could start his healing process. But he wouldn’t be able to shift for a week. Benedict would walk home though a little slowly.Benedict knew he’d lied to Ebony, but he didn’t want to explain it on the phone. Not when she was so close to giving birth. His people had to make several repairs on their vehicles there in the field to get it home anyway. It took a day longer and it didn’t hurt Benedict’s recovery. Even though h
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 113 – First Mission Complete Coming Home
Ebony waited at the Pack house. It had been three days since Benedict and their team had left for the fire. The pilots had come in for fuel and repairs. Several vehicles had come in baring injured people on the way to get care. They’d been found trapped within the fire or were injured during fighting the fire. But so far, their wolves, mages, druids, bears, and such had stayed safe and were still working toward stopping the fire. However, Ebony had heard complaints that magic was a disappointment by the human fighting contingents and not nearly as powerful or magical as they had believed it should have been. Which received sighs, warnings, and reminders of their that there were limits like anything within reality. Ebony used the time, or she tried to, to finish the pups’ suite. It wouldn’t be used fully right away. They would have the pups in their room first before they would use their suite. She wondered who these pups would look like. Ebony h
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 112 – The Business Plan Goes into Action
Benedict was teasing Ebony with names over dinner when the call came through. The first real call. They’d been watching a storm for the last three days. It’s winds were pushing thirty-five miles an hour and lightning was flashing randomly throughout the mountains. The problems they were having was the area the storm was in had been a dry zone for the last eight months. They were waiting for the lightning to start multiple fires, flash floods, landslides, and car accidents. Humans would need help it’s how these things worked. Extreme weather was becoming worse not better. Humans could handle a lot but it was adding up.“Go on, this is what we made this place for. Show them why we’re here and what we can offer.” Ebony all but pushed Benedict out the door. “I have enough people here to help me. I’ll be fine here missing you. Now go.”“Right. Don’t do anything crazy while I’m gone okay?” Benedict begged. He wasn’t sure what she would do. But she was pushing him out the door when he w
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 111 – Time Together Before the Pitter Patter
Ebony couldn’t get comfortable. Her stomach was so large now. She struggled to get out of the bed and chairs. Ebony avoided standing for too long. It had been months since she’d shifted into fur, and she missed hunting. She missed running and there wasn’t any way she was going to run like this. But her balance was off like her pups decided they wanted to sit only on one side of her body. That’s the only way she could describe it in her grumpy upset mood.Benedict was distracted by Ebony’s distressed attitude. She still had two months until she gave birth. He tried to ensure she had everything she could want and if she wanted to move then she had someone with her to help her. Preferably it would be him. He hated anyone touching her but him now. They spent more time together. “I have a few gifts here from the families and the Pack wants to set up the pups’ nursery. Are you ready for that or is it too early for you?”“oh no I’m great. Go ahead and have them bring me in the gifts
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 110 – Changing Times
Ebony had her staff enter and between her staff as Marian’s staff they worked with the school’s staff. They had to brute force at times to get the documentation completed and wait times waived. To gain the testing schedules at a specific date and location. But between Marian and Ebony’s joint effort they were able to overcome the bureaucratic mess presented to them. Marian used the media and the public eye to keep the gears moving. While Ebony had the eye of the supernatural government on her through Benedict’s father and her father. So, there was no room to falter and no time.Even so it took months to achieve this and get this far. Now they were able to step back into their everyday life. Ebony’s baby bump was beginning to show now. Benedict was managing the building of the healing center and hiring of healers as many would also work as teachers, rescuers, emergency workers, and such.Benedict knew he had to have a certain amount of medical foundation up and running fast sin
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 109 – Marian Visits the Pack
Benedict moved through the Pack house searching for Ebony. He’d received word that Marian had arrived at the gates and was headed there right now. This was the first time she’d visited their territory and Ebony along with many others were abuzz with trying to make everything perfect for her visit. “Ebony, Marian is here. She wants to talk to you about the results of her PTA meeting.” Benedict leaned into her study and saw the stress on her face. “What’s going on? Do you think it went that badly?”“Badly? I don’t know. I mean come on. It can’t get any worse than they say no, and we carry on with our previous plans. No, they might want to limit where out pups can and can’t go after this. They might fear our pups can’t control their aggressive nature and might cause problems.” “I don’t know about that wouldn’t she have said something on the phone if it had been a no.” Benedict asked in an effort to point out the effort Marian was taking to come to their home.“I don’t know Ben
Ebony's Pack: Fated to the Ranger Wolves Chapter 108 – What Does the Community Think?
“Marian, I know in a perfect world we could plan this between the two of us and we’d have pups and children learning together without a problem.” Ebony went to a meeting luncheon with Marian to speak about Marian’s idea of the pups going to school in the town with the town’s human children.“Right. It would never happen that way, would it? Alright, so how will we do this?” Marian said a little chagrinned. Ebony shook her head and shrugged. She cocked her head to the side as she got a sudden thought.“We’ll start with talking to the children’s parents. We don’t have to talk to them. A questionnaire or a phone call. A town hall meeting or a PTA meeting. You can choose what would make the community feel more comfortable. I would hate to hear someone a year from now say that they felt they were left out of the decision and didn’t feel like a member of the community.” Ebony gave a vague idea. A blush crossed her cheeks when she realized how random and unworkable it was. But Marian did
