            Gregory entered the dining area, where the large banquet tables had been divided into smaller tables and spread out throughout the room.  A buffet style breakfast was spread out by the far wall and people were sitting or moving around the room. They were gathering or eating while greeting or talking to each other.  This was his pack.  With everyone on the pack grounds feeding, housing and clothing them were full time jobs.  But everyone seemed happy to be here for the most part. He walked among the tables greeting and talking to pack members as he moved towards a table near the buffet table.

    Ending the phone call, Gregory looks up, as Jeff comes in with coffee in his hands. “Hey, I figured you’d need something as a pick me up since lunch is a ways away.” “Really? Hmm… Yeah, I could use it. That was my mother. She says we will have support from the council, but it’s by faction so we are going to have to work this out faction by faction. By the way what is with Yoyo back there?” “Well, I think it’s a few things with her really. Yoyo has always had a bit of a crush on you, as you well know.” Jeff gave him a knowing smirk remembering past events.

    Gregory helped Aricka settle in for a nap. He promised her that he would look after Evan while she rested and that they would not be far. “Okay, Evan, I need to get work done so we need to find you something to do.” “You have lots of books in the office. Are there any on shifter history? I want to know all about us.' “Well, there aren’t any pup-friendly ones. But I may know someone that might have one or two.” Gregory pulled out his cell phone, he then scrolled through his contact list and selected a number. “Hi Joyce, yes, this is Alpha Gregory. The pup I wish to add to your schooling s

    Aricka followed Gregory into the living area to find Evan scrolling through channels on a TV that was hidden within a built-in cabinet. “Oh, hi mom you look better.” “Joyce, David this is my mate, Aricka Daniels and her pup, Evan. Were you able to get the books?” “Oh, yes. Here they are. I assume Evan is the pup we are here to discuss?” Gregory motioned the two to sit as he took the books and handed them to Evan. “Yes, now he is seven almost eight years old. He has been raised by his mother here whom until a few days ago did not know of our existence. Now to complicate things Evan is an early bloomer and has not only been shif

    Aricka finally got both Gregory and Evan out of the apartment and where they needed to be. It turned out that the kids hadn’t moved from where they had been playing from earlier, so Evan easily found them and returned to play with them.He even remembered to tell Michael he needed to tag along for school tomorrow too. She watched the pups as they huddled around Evan, who looked the books he’d been given and all the pups had to give him their sage advice about it all as only the young can do.With that done Aricka

    Gregory led his father into the sunroom which was towards the back of the house.He remembered them eating meals out here as a pup before his mother had taken over the space claiming now that they were gone it would be wasted space.But he knew she loved the sun and airy feel of the plants.It meant even on rainy days she was warm, dry and in nature. Truthfully, Gregory has always wanted to give other rooms in the pack house a similar treatment but had never had the time to work out exactly how he would achieve this.&

    The pups had been found outside the ballroom on a patio, lounging in Adirondack chairs chattering to each other and making plans upon plans for tomorrow. “Okay, munchkins it’s bedtime who is sleeping where?” Aricka clapped her hands and said rather loudly to a chorus of groans. Smiling she picked up a little sleeping girl and waited for the others to follow her in. After entering the ballroom again, the sleeping pup was taken by a rather happy mother. She quickly disappeared from Aricka’s sight to she assumed to get the little pup tucked into bed.

    The morning started early, with grey skies and a hell of a lot of noise. Last-minute boxes of food and supplies were being transferred to trucks to compensate for the sudden doubling of Max’s pack size. His mother had stopped him and informed him she had taken the young pups’ names. In the New Year, she would add them to the NARC registry of his pack. So it was official. He had a pack, and it was happening at least on paper. A quick text message to Jenna, and he was rounding up every damn person coming with him. They weren’t all outside after breakfast because one of the younger ones was hiding somewhere and it was like an Easter Egg hunt for her. If he thought life would

    When Max finally got back to the major crowd, and that’s what it had become as curious pack members came in to offer their help. While getting the scoop on what happened at the front gate.He was no longer used to this many people, and it was wearing on him, with the pain dull throbbing in time to his slowly fraying nerves.Max couldn’t leave these pups, but he was also itching to speak to each one of them. Just so, he knew how to integrate them into his pack. He’d have to do that when he got home from here and then keep a very close eye on everyone.What he found was a memory of the past ringing with a lilting voice of his mother as she read a new poem, she had found but fit so well into their lives. It was as if they had made it for this moment.Max had missed most of the opening refrains of the poem. But it was as if it spoke to him, and his mother claimed the ti

  • His Brother's Mate   Pups for a Bachelor

    Aricka had received several texts from Allan and Jeff. The rogues were actually young adults lost in the war’s chaos. There were two injured and nearly thirty of them. The pups, as Edith firmly insisted on calling them, needed space to get clean. They were hungry and came with the clothes on their backs. Many were female, and they didn’t have any form of real leadership. They were there looking for guidance and a chance at survival without going rogue. Even their Druid family members chipped in to help. The sadness was physical when their story’s relayed to all. It was a physical example that hit the council members present in the face. This minor war had lasting effects throughout the Supernatural World. Others were not in the war but were suffering the lasting effects of loss because of the Lich’s victims’ deaths and those who had died in battle.&

    It’s Yuletide, and they strictly enforced the rule of hospitality during this season. In Northern Ontario, it’s the only humane thing to do. It’s not truly the rule of law. But a moral tradition. They will give anyone who comes to your door space to sleep and a meal for the night. Until it’s safe for them to travel on. It doesn’t have to be fancy or even a bed: just a warm, dry place and simple food to eat. In a land where one could freeze to death within fifteen minutes of going outside, it’s needed even if they’re dressed for the season. It was a tradition from the old country. Now Gregory had to find this car off in a ditch and then deal with twenty-five to thirty more people to house and feed. Richard/Max… He had to get his name straight in his head before talking to these people.

    Gregory had to divide and conquer. The pups and such needed people looking out for them, with everyone doing different things. So he sent some volunteers to look over them. His brother was one of those volunteers. He had to get more wood and things for the decorations to be freshened up with. The ladies inside would handle that, and he would leave his mate with the work inside of entertaining and guiding those efforts. Let Allan take the lead on the first shift of snow clearing, and when he and his crew came in, all snowy dragging equally snowy pups in. Gregory knew precisely what happened. The pups appeared bored, and they had started a snowball fight with the adults.Frederick looked like he’d fallen or tossed in the snow and thoroughly co

    As he thought of his pup grouping, Evan and the pack were having fun running through the wooded area and playing in the snow. It was great being able to get outside and just have fun. He found it thrilling, and he’d thought it might be his wolf side affecting his actions. But it wasn’t like it talked to him. It was just part of him. Like someone was Italian or Japanese. He didn’t care. He was in a happy place now. The adults were bickering until the snow stopped falling, and a lot of them got busy clearing the roadway. It had taken longer than expected when the younger people had decided that they were going to ambush them with snowballs. One of his druid cousins had made the trees shiver and drop their snow on his Great-Grandfather, who’s not impressed and sent a few snowballs flying of his own in retaliation.&nb

    Once, people surfaced for a late breakfast. They sent the pups and other juveniles out to play in the snow with a few adults watching them. Even Richard took a turn watching them from the back porch. Just so that someone with fully working limbs could haul snow from the garage down to the entrance gates. This was no small feat without a snowplough of some sort. Someone had at least been smart enough to park the visitor’s vehicles inside the garage to avoid the need to remove ice and snow from them. But with over five hundred metres of the driveway from the garage down to the main entrance, it would be a long time until it fully cleared, and they could sand it. Because of wolves running about, sand was a far safer product for their paws. Salt would burn the plants and leave burns on paws. Also, salt often made things worse in t

    Aricka woke up on the third day of the season, and all she could think about was that there were only ten days left. If she thought it was slow going, going to war. It was a whole new form of torture when there were clashing personalities.Edith and Moreen got along like a house on fire. Both sat and talked about whatever came to mind. There didn’t seem to be a topic that was off the table for them.Frederick and Allan, however, had started out the first night or so, not getting along well. Until they found out what happens when mulled, they added in spiced cider, and the two were off to the races on who come object more often than the other about anything and everything. Who knew that two older gentlemen could brawl like boys in their twenties? They’d lost two lamps and a chair in that incident.Then Allan hid in his apartment with Edith. Aricka was sure that Edith was there to

    After two great days of snow and fun, Evan jumped from his bed to be greeted by more snow coming down. There was so much he couldn’t see the trees that were not so far from his window. With a sigh, he figured everyone stuck inside would soon enough to turn on each other.Video games, music, and lots of food. What more could anyone ask for? There’d be presents again too. Everyone got one present every day for a whole twelve days. It was so much fun to see everyone’s faces when they opened their gifts. No one knew who had actually bought any of the gifts. Some adults even played a guessing game about who bought various gifts. It was kind of funny to watch.Running down the stairs, he realized some of the other kids were up, and they all gathered in the Entertainment Room. It had quickly become their unofficial hang out. The adults figured they were safe there, and Aria had been cool about what games they could play too. Some snacks were still out, and E
