* Richard *"That concludes our meeting for today, I 'm glad to meet you all."After a series of questions and answers, the warriors are finally getting to know me and the rest of them have not spoken any harsh comment that would lead to anyone getting upset. Randy has made me aware beforehand of the situation of the warriors coming from the Royal pack and the warriors who are originally from this pack. They have no complaints under me now, there shouldn't be because the war has already ended and I am now the lead warrior and soon-to-be Alpha."Thank you, Mister Bannister."I nodded when the rest of the warriors were getting my permission to exit the training hall. Bernard and two of his companions remained standing. It caught the attention of Randy who is about to exit the door. His step slowed down and then he gave me a questioning look, I waved my hand toward him to reassure him that it was alright for him to leave. Randy is looking a little worried and I would not be surprised if
* Chelsey *The sun shone brightly in the sky as I was helping the in charge of the garden in watering the plants and flowers that we just started to grow the other day. I am not sure what the real reason was when Josefa asked me to swap with Hannan and let the older lady take care of the Alpha house cleaning together with Donna. There are only four of us so I am moving to help with Dora in the kitchen and the garden. I had a hunch that Mister Bannister was not pleased to see me that night in the kitchen. I might have triggered his trust issues, but I wonder why.I let out a heavy sigh while taking care not to spill so much water."Chelsey!"Dora and I both turned around to see Josefa in a darker mood than the last time I saw her. Since I was the one who was being called out I smiled and greeted her. "Good morning Josefa! Is there anything you want me to do?"She sighed when Dora looked at her and the older woman gave me an apologetic look with her eyes surveying me up and down."I ha
*Isabella*"Oh, They are so lovely Bernard! Thank you."I smiled widely at the beautiful fresh red roses wrapped neatly in a printed thick wrapping paper. The bouquet I did not expect to receive today since we had no plan on celebrating my twenty-third birthday. However, Bernard had a surprise appearance early in the morning. The smile on his lips warmed my heart. I bet that he came here first before going to his work."Happy birthday my dear Isabella."He lowered his head to give me a peck on the cheek which I accepted gladly. I turned around to find an empty antique flower vase sitting above the long wooden table in the living room. Then I carefully place the flowers inside, removing the wrapper and folding them before throwing them quickly at the nearest bin."Thank you, Bernard! You are the first person to greet me today."I walk gracefully towards him, aware of his eyes looking at the very tight black denim that I wore with a matching tank top in the same color. The obvious admir
* Isabella *I look at my reflection in the mirror, with my hair done in soft curls from the salon. To change my usual straight hair I went to get it done, especially for this evening. Excitement and joy filled my lungs as I thought of the five-star restaurant in the City. It's been a while since I had dined there, without my father. The dress I'm wearing is a sleeveless V-neck midi dress in a vintage blue color. The stylish and flattering neckline shows a bit of my cleavage and skin in the middle of my breast.My shoes are of the same color and I brought with me a blue silk scarf in case the cold gets into me. Even in summertime, the North has a low temperature, which some enjoy but there are also a few who want to have the heat of the sun during summer. "Miss Bannister?"A soft voice coming from Martha made me turn away from the full-length body mirror of my room. "Yes Martha, did Bernard come?"She smiled looking at me from top to bottom. "You are so beautiful tonight Miss Bannist
* Alpha Charles *There were several rogues spotted in hiding at the most crowded place in the North, the City. I must pursue the investigation further, as it would be dangerous for the humans to protect themselves against a rogue attack. We had stayed until evening and found a few traces that we must continue our search. Before going back to the Alpha house, I decided to treat the warriors at a restaurant. "Are you sure this is a good place for us Alpha? This looked expensive."Ben, one of the warriors with me, looked around and commented on the elegant place. There are only a few guests around that is why I chose the place."It does not matter the price, Ben. What I want is for us to have a private conversation, some humans would freak out when they know that we are not among them."He nodded. "You guys order whatever you want. I will come back in a second. Beta Lohan, will you order for me?""Sure thing Alpha." Lohan is the best warrior in the pack and knows me better than anyone
* Isabella *"Good morning Dad!"I give him a peck on the cheek while he folds the daily newspaper on his lap. A wide smile curved his lips. "Good morning my dear. Are you going to the ranch early?"Looking at my cowboy outfit, he doesn't even need to ask where I'm going. I haven't slept well thinking about what happened last night. I took a deep breath in."There is something I wanted to ask you, Dad."He put back the cup of coffee in the saucer and looked at me. "Hmmm, what is it, Isabella? You seemed anxious so early today. Did something happen last night?"I cleared my throat when Martha came in the dining room bringing the usual breakfast. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs made me look at her. I waited until she was done putting a cup of coffee in front of me. "Thank you, Martha.""My pleasure Miss Bannister, please enjoy your breakfast, and you also Mr. Bannister."My father nodded towards her and waited until I started talking. "I had a great time with Bernard last night D
* Isabella *The following day came fast just like a blink of an eye. I woke up early to get ready for my morning run around the backyard of the Bannister mansion. It feels good to have peace and maintain the quiet and safe surroundings of our lands. My father loves this place despite it being far from the City proper of the North. I guess old men love nature and the slow life away from the busy streets of the City.I was about to get back to the house when along the road my phone rang. "Hello?""Miss Bannister, sorry to disturb your morning run but your father asked me to call you."It was Martha on the other side of the line using the phone of the house. "What is it, Martha? Did the guest arrive?""Yes, Miss Bannister, and your father wants you to come back quick and meet with them in the library."I turned the phone off and ran fast towards the backside of the mansion. He came earlier than usual, I let out a harsh breath after arriving at the gates which the guard opened promptly.
* Isabella *There is almost a thousand acres of land which belongs to the leader of the Bannister and about a quarter is inhabited and well develop by my father and uncle. After the recent meeting with the Alpha of the Cold mountain pack my father called out my cousins and other relatives together with the people who works at the ranch and the farm."Today I would like to announce the new leader of the Bannister hunters! None other than, my only child! Isabella Abegail Bannister!"My Aunt and Uncle clap their hands as both of them stand up from their chairs to give me a formal greetings. It was a brief introduction from my father since it is pre determine that I would replace him of the title."Congratulations Isabella! I know you can make it, you have the blood of your father running through your veins! We are here to give you our full support just like how we supported my brother!"The smile on my uncle's lips might look genuine but I could see the disappointment deep inside of him
