Lilith’s POVFor next week Calley and I are snowed under with ensuring that we have out i’s dotted and our t’s crossed.We ensure we have Manila envelopes for every applicant and we make appointments with each to visit us here at home in the pack house.We decide what we want and are looking for in each individual and we ensure that we have a narrative to abide by in regards to what is expected of every to be part of our female warrior team.Theo seems to be impressed, periodically checking in on us.And he’s been super helpful with Lora, keeping her in his office as we work tirelessly.I couldn’t have asked for more support even if I tried and I guess Theo knows that and that’s why he’s taken the opportunity to enable us to succeed.Khai’s also been forthcoming, offering me advice when I need it and food and drinks when Calley and I forget to eat and drink. “I hadn’t realised just how many of our she-wolves wanted to stand besides our men and fight,” Calley laughs when the emails co
Celeste's POVI feel sick to my stomach when Zeus turns up at my door, his evil smile alerting me to the wrongs about to happen.Something deep within my guts begs for me to escape, and I wish I had, when I realise just what's happening.He steps aside, my eyes moving from him to the person that had obviously been hiding behind him.And instantly they burn, burn with a multitude of emotions as I stare at Hati in his human host as he walks out from behind him, a smile so evil it's as if looking into his very soul.It's been many a life cycle since I was graced with Hati's presence and for some reason it now seems sordid and unwanted to be around him.Nevertheless I must be creator and host before human."Hati, what do I owe to this pleasure?" I ask despite freaking out internally.He walks towards the steps of my very back porch.Looking up to me with wide and wonderful eyes as he takes me in.I think we are both assessing how the other is doing, imprinting each others flaws and everyt
Zeus's POVI excel in making people squirm and that's precisely what I have done regarding Celeste and bringing Hati to her door.She squirmed more than I presumed she would, lost for words and unable to stop staring towards him.And despite my thoughts of her being troublesome, she allowed him inside her home.Yes her home, the place she and Theseus keep private at all times.The only regular visitor they have is me, and that's only because as God, I can gain access to any part of my realm that I wish.The other gods and goddess must seek permission and this has always enabled Celeste and Theseus to remain private and hidden here in their home.But not today, today Celeste broke her own protocol and allowed the house to open up to none other than Hati.If I had known how receptive she would be I would have brought him here last week rather than waste his and my time waiting for her to join us for dinner.As it is the pair of us watch her flit across the kitchen, using the counters an
Theo’s POVWatching Lilith and Calley work together as a team has been rather wholesome.Never did I think that I would change my mind, and never did I think that Lilith would head the comity with Calley to force change for our she-wolves.But I’m starting to come around, starting to believe that this is the right step to take.After all, the evidence is thick and hard.The women of this pack have been wanting change for a while it seems.I hate to think of putting them in the line of danger but then again I have out my foot down on the responsibilities they will have.Yes they can train and yes they will be given responsibility in regards to ensuring the children, women and elderly are safe during a drill but they will not stand upon the borders as warriors of night and not during the day.I’m allowing change here, but not willing to allow our women to be hurt in the process.Calley wasn’t happy with this ultimatum yet Lilith jumped on the agreement and was happy to allow for it go
Lilith's POVCalley and I have been flying in the high of finally getting this thing together and ready for the interviews today.We asked Theo to sit in, to give input and his blessing on each girl we agree to take on.Apparently he's given us the round number of one hundred as a number to aim for.There's room for growth, apparently, but for now that's the highest number we are allowed to take on.It costs money, time and patience to train up our women and we need to find our feet in regards to time management, who, where and when we will trim and how we work alongside or around the male warriors.Calley is adamant that in the near future she wants this division between male and female to cease. She wants us to be as equal as we can be, to share responsibility and work alongside one another and though she's keen to try and get Theo to drop his division now in the present I've told her to calm down and step back to enable the future to path the way to equality.Theo is a fair man, f
Celeste's POVThough I eat my food, I wasn’t particularly hungry and when I move to stand, to gather the empty plates Zeus demands I sit.“Sit back down,” he demands.I don’t want to listen, I try my hardest to ignore his demand but his aura is strong, despite the fact Theseus has sworn to challenge him.I bare my neck in submission, my body following his demand despite my mind saying other wise.“Zeus,” I mutter unhappily.“Hati, clean the dishes,” he demands again.His tone is low, sultry and meaningful and for once in Hati’s life he does as he’s asked instead of doing as he wants.I watch with disdain as he takes the plates I was using as a tool to busy myself and I twiddle my thumbs as I ensure Hati washes them promptly.I hate him standing there in my kitchen, I hate him here in my house at all, if I’m honest.Why must he be here, when he belongs down there?I feel Zeus watching me, his eyes boring into my skin as he assesses me assessing Hati.What’s his game?What did he bring
Calley's POVI hadn't realised that Theo could be so accommodating until I pushed for change and he allowed it.He's even created the opportunity of growth with his blessing as we work from his office in the pack house.We've passed many application to the next stage. Only refusing the few older women that would find it hard to keep up with the physicality of being a warrior or those who lied about their age as if they had thought we wouldn't check them against the database Theo keeps of all pack members.And as we accept another one I get exuberantly excited.It’s crazy, the sheer amount of women that have applied.I think it’s a huge smack in Theo’s face, even if he won’t admit to it.And I find it reassuring that my decision to apply for change came at the right time.I have the reassurance now that I can fulfil Lilith’s request of protecting Lora at all costs.I’ll have an army of women stood behind me and one day, when the time is right, they will stand behind Lora also.It’s str
Khai’s POVI’ve come to learn that physical ability is key to being a warrior worth his rank and that is why I’ve put my all into training.Unlike some others, because of my status, I’m given the ability to be great.I felt that snap inside me that night I agreed to stand as an equal besides Theo.But others have to truly work for their strength.And that’s my worry about these women.But nevertheless I’m supportive of their presumed roles and I do believe that this change is for the better.And that’s why I’ve agreed to help Lilith and Calley assess each gives ability on the assault course.Leo and Lucas have also stood up and agreed to stand besides them.The three of us putting together a hard course through the assault course that will enlighten whose already physically capable, who show’s potential to become physically capable and who might be better suited to another role within the pack.The morning starts early, and despite Lilith’s want to bring Lora along, I manage to convin
