I grab a bottle from my cupboard as I don’t drink cold water after hours, it’s really not good for the body, a movement out of the corner of my left eye catches my attention outside my window, I place the bottle down quietly on the counter and ease close to the back door, I watch as Five wolves emerge from the forest and slowly creep through my backyard, they pause as though communicating with each other before branching off, One is heading to my house while the others continue down the road to the other houses.
What sort of covert mission is this? and how on earth did they manage to get past border patrol and into the packlands like this, I open my mindlink to the Alpha ' Alpha Teejan! ' he responds in a matter of seconds ' yes Roro ' ' from my backyard I spot Five wolves, there's intruders in the pack! one is heading to my house and the others have gone down towards other houses, send help!' ' on our way! ' he growled into the link before cutting it. I quietly move around the house and go get my daggers and needles, I listen at the bottom of my stairs as my backdoor lock is being picked, so I presume the wolf has shifted back into human form to infiltrate my home. I put my mask on and throw one of my potions pills on the floor by the door, the wolf pushed my door open and stepped in on the pill which released a knock out scent, he made two steps into my house before face planting onto the floor butt naked! and I still shot him with a tranquilizer for good measure before tying his mouth, hands and feet. I look out to see warriors along with the Alpha and Beta fighting with other wolves in the street, there's at least Eight of the unknown wolves fighting and trying to get away and get back to through the forest, one is fighting with the Alpha and another shoots from the treeline and they don't see it coming, it's heading right to the Alpha who has his back turned, I shoot through my front door and make a beeline towards it, running with all my might, I know it would not be wise to call out to the Alpha because it may distract him from the fight he already has going on and the others are already occupied too. I throw myself at the wolf just as it lunges and pushes it a few feet away, it shakes off and is about to attack me when I pull my gun out and shoot it, it yelps then falls to the ground, it turns back to it's human form dead and bleeding black blood? By then the other wolves had either been killed or ran off into the forest wounded and being hunted by the warriors. " Are you okay Roro?! " " yes Alpha Teejan I'm fine " I wince after a minute, only now realizing that I'm actually hurt, the damn wolf scratched me " you're hurt " " I'll be fine, I've got first aid in my house " just then the others came back " they got away Alpha, it's like they just vanished, there's no scent or anything " " Did anyone check on the border warriors ? because, how did they even get this far into the packlands undetected? " " yes Roho we did, they're fine, they say they didn't scent or detect anyone or anything crossing into the pack " " that's very strange, but we can ask the one in my house what pack they came from whenever he comes to that is " " there's one in your house?! " I rise to my feet and dust myself off " yep " we all go to my house and the Beta picks the unconscious man up by his neck and look at him " no scent " " they must be using blockers, wash him off with this " I hand them a bottle and the Alpha takes it and looks at me knowingly and sighs " thank you Roro, let's do a sweep of your house to make sure you're safe before we go " They do a sweep from top to bottom and once satisfied that there was no one in the house they took the guy and left out the house, Alpha Teejan stopped and turned back at me " you did the pack a great act tonight Roro, had you not been around who knows what would have happened tonight, you have my thanks for saving the pack and for saving me, perhaps you being here is a blessing to us all " by here he means in this part of the pack. " Good night Alpha Tee " " good night sweetie " they leave and head back, I lock up and head back to bed after having a shower and cleaning the wound with some herbs and bandaging it. As I lay down, it comes back to me, a voice woke me up from my sleep but whose voice was that? I say in my mind ' hello? ' and of course nothing and no one answers me. I roll over and get back to sleep. Alpha King Tyler " My darling, how have you been? " " I'm good mother, how are you and father doing? " " We're good my dear, to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit? won't you join us for a meal? "" Well mom, I'm actually here to speak to father on a very pressing matter but I will dine with you after first conversing with him, where is he?" " Oh, he's out back tending the garden dear " " The garden? my father? the former Alpha King, is out back, tending to your garden? " " What's so shocking about that? " " Uhm, nothing I suppose, I will see you in a bit then " I walk through the manor and head out to the backyard where I am just discovering they've got a full blown greenhouse, I see movements inside and I know from the scent that it's my father so I make my way over to him, I stand just a few feet away staring at him as he works in full gardener mode clad in a gardeners uniform. " You'll bore a hole in my head if you keep staring at me like that Ty, what brings you by? " " I have something important I need to speak to you about, is this a safe space to have a discussion or shall we move to someplace more private? " " The greenhouse is as good as any place to talk son,
We come to a wall and he pushes a brick in and the wall swings open, he stepped in and I followed after him, we made our way down a flight of stairs " you know, you'd never be able to over power me, if you've got any thoughts of murdering me old man " he chuckled lightly " I wouldn't dream of it! I'd get your mother to do it if I ever have the thought "I simply smile, as he knows I'd never be able to hurt the woman who gave birth to me and brought me up from a pup to the man I am today. My father pushed open a large Brown door and switched on a very large chandelier " what the hell is this place Dad? " " it belonged to the Kings before us, a secret storage and archive so to speak, anyway come and look at this " " and just when were you going to tell me about this place? " " right now, now focus and come here " Alpha King Tyler cont' I go over to where my father has just taken what looks like a scroll down and placed it on a table in the far left corner of the room, he turns on an o
" Son, hold on " I turn to see my father running up to me " if you'd like I can swing by the lab tomorrow and have a look at the specimen you have there " " it's not necessary to do that father but you are free to go and have a look in your own time, that's fine by me " " okay, well I'll stop by and just have a quick look, by the way what do you intend to do with the person it came from " " I thought about sending someone to the pack he's from to confirm his identity but decided against it because if what he said was true and he was rejected and banished because he was mated to the Alpha's daughter then they would know he told me and may send warriors after him if or when I release him and he returns to his cottage, so I've instead sent two Royal Guards to his cottage to first see if it's where he said it is and bring me anything that proves he is who he says he is, they should be back any day now " He nods and pats me on the shoulder " okay, have a good night Ty " " good night fathe
So what I will do for every Three fighter or volunteer sent to the Royal City I will in turn send One Royal guard, as my guards are specially trained and much stronger than the regular wolves so that would even out the ratios and make up the ones they are losing, and it would only be a temporary arrangement until the fighters training is completed, once they've gotten to or close to my guards level they will return to their packs and will expect to be called upon should this war make fruition , this would just be advanced training for that possibility and it's a plus that the packs would have fighters with the kind of training given to the Royal Guards here, extra security. Yes, that's the plan I'll go with, for the time being I'll hold off on contacting Astrid and start putting this plan in motion, Astrid will come in a bit later to help me see if she can figure out where these things are from and how deep this plot runs. I open my mindlink and reach out to my Beta ' Cory, I need t
Cory sits back in his seat and nods his head slowly digesting what I just said, Isiah speaks next " if that is the case my King then I am more than prepared to go through with your plan, it makes the most sense to start preparing in advance, and even if it turns out to not be the case, that's still okay because knowledge in battle can never be too much, but Ms. Astrid, how does she fall into play in all this, we all know very well how Ms. Astrid feels towards you my King and it's hard to miss how you feel in regards to her, is it necessary for her to be involved? " " She unfortunately has a gift so to speak, like a foresight, she may be able to channel through, using the specimen and see where it originates from, that would then help us find the source, hopefully " " Understood sir, Beta Cory, what do you think? " Cory leans forward once more " the plan sounds good to me but we'd have to find a way to be discreet about it because if they can infiltrate packs the way they've been doi
My dad speaks up " Nika, is this really why you Two dragged me all the way out here, to get Roho out of her own house, I just came out of a Twelve hour shift and I am tired and you brought me here for this, really? " she walked over to my dad " honey, come on I mean look at this house isn't it something Niki deserves, as her sister why can't Roho just let Niki have it " " One, because she did not work for it, Two because Niki will not survive on her own considering how much she doesn't know domestically and Three this is the outskirts of the pack where if you both can recall the last pack breach occurred and of the two pups, which of them is more likely to survive should there be a serious threat? " Nikas' jaw ticks and I can see the defiance on her face as I stand there leaned up on my door frame with my arms folded, I am not amused. ' Go back inside Roho, I'm sorry I have no idea how they found out about the house and I also didn't know this is why they wanted to come here ' ' oka
I don't give her a chance to come down from her high and roll her onto her stomach and mount her, driving all 9" of me into her, she cries out in ecstasy and I trust into her while spanking her, one hand reaches for her throat and pulls her up as though she's sitting on me, I hold her in place and roll my hips deep within her and she's a moaning mess for me, I take her in every position possible and we both find our release more than once through the night, by the time we're done it's almost dawn. I pick her up and take her to her room to sleep, I do not like sleeping next to others. I lay her on her bed and cover her and leave her room, I have a shower, change my sheets and lay down, I need at least an hour sleep to function through the day, I'll to figure out how to go about getting new recruits, it will be a challenge as the packs are now on the look out for anything suspicious they are more cautious so it will not be an easy venture but I must take the risk to complete my purpose
Beau " Hey Beau, you coming to Renes' party later?" " Of course not, I've got exams this week, why the hell would I go partying Kirk? and by the way, you also have exams this week, why are you going partying?" " Ugh, why are you such a kill joy Beau? all you do is study, train, eat and sleep, loosen up will you! have fun! we are in college, these are the best years of our lives! go wild! liveeeeee! " he rolls his eyes at me " it's like talking to brick wall " " Back at you Kirk, let's go to the study hall and forget about the party " he grumbles but follows after me, Kirk is the Alpha to be of another pack, this college is open to all were-kind who wishes to attend, there's even scholarship programs offered so the less fortunate can attend, of course those scholarships come with some sort of stigma as the rich and wealthy look down on them for whatever reason. I probably would have been one of them on scholarship had it not been for my father and uncle, my uncles Beta decided to
" Impossible " Tabitha muttered to herself before looking at the others " you know what it is don't you Tabi? " " come Sala there is something I must show you " " NO TABITHA! YOU CAN'T! " " silence! if this is truly as she says then we must show her! "" We barely managed to escape the last time they were here Tabitha! let us not be involved at all this time around, it is too dangerous! " "we scurried away like dogs with our tails between our legs last time, this time if this is really so we will at least guide them the right way through my Sala " Tabitha turns away from the scared looking bunch and looks at me "follow me child" she leads me through her house and out the back by a large Dark Oar Willa Tree, I look up into the tree as lights dancing and darting through the tree " what are those lights Tabi? " " she can see them? " " I told you my Sala is special, they are Whisps my child, they protect the tree and what lays beneath it."She says a chant while placing her hand on the
RohoI finally arrive to Tabithas after riding for about Two and a half hours, it would have been much longer had I driven, I get off my bad boy and stretch before walking over to her enchantment illusion while pushing the bike over, no way I'm gonna leave my baby out in the open like this, who thell knows who'd pass by when I'm not paying attention and steal him.I take a breath before pushing through the illusion, had I been anyone else I would have walked right on by and not realize there is a massive cottage situated right here, I shiver after I pass through the barrier ugh I hate the feeling, I stop as I feel more than one pair of eyes on me and look around suddenly very alert." It's okay my love, no one here will harm you, come on in the house " I hear Tabi's voice as she comes down from the porch of her cottage, I pull my bike stand down and lean it up and walk over to her, she smiles warmly and extends her hands for a hug and I lean in and hug her, she squeezes me and inhales
I fully well understand their reactions but it's better to be prepared than to be blind sided. That is how you lose " the wolf is at the City, he asked to return to his home but I can not allow it because he may very well be in danger if I allow to return, as they recapture him or kill him thinking he may have told us something he shouldn't have which he has not as he recalls nothing " " How do you know he's being truthful my King " a rumble of a chuckle bubbles up on my chest and Hunter pushes forward just a bit " because no one can fool the Lycan King " the Alpha shrinks back " I meant no disrespect Lycan King, I am merely skeptical about this person who claims to have no memories of breaching the Royal City "Hunter cocks our head to the side and observe him " how many pups do you have Alpha Noel " " I have yet to produce pups my King " he answers without missing a beat, we smile and tap our fingers on the table and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat " is that so? well then best
One by one the Alpha's and their travel companions fle into the room, I'm seated at the head of the table with my head guard at my left and the seat to my right is vacant for Alpha Teejan. As they enter they all greet me and bow to show their respect and submission to me." Okay my King, this is everyone who will be attending today's meeting " soon after the door is pulled open once more and the kitchen staff make their way inside with Eight food trolleys filled with refreshments and light finger foods " thank you ladies, now please ensure no one else disturbs us from this point on please " " yes my King " they bow and leave.I mind link Two of my guards and tell them to stand guard outside the meeting room door and also the front and rear door of the pack house. Not that I am expecting anything but I always like to ensure all bases are covered.I stand commanding all the attention in the room " gentlemen, thank you all for taking the time to attend this impromptu meet today and I mus
I jumped out from behind the brushes just ahead of the woman and she freezes, her eyes widen and she stumbles back and trips, it was then I saw it, her long flowing dress inched up and she has one human leg and one hoof, she scampers to get up and run but Trevor is at her back, her breathing quickens and so does her heart beat, the Two warriors are standing in place, not blinking, not moving just there.Her eyes turn bloody Red, no sign of pupils or white in her eyes and she let's out a scream so loud I swear we are going to be deaf.I step back covering my ears and Trevor does the same, by the time the sound dies down, she's gone, it was only then it really dawned on me that the area is now more lit and you can hear the crickets and cicada’s, it was nothing but silence before *thud, thud* both warriors fall to the ground unconscious.We access them to ensure they are unharmed and once we've verified that they are both men shift and I lay one on each of their backs and I shift too, we
I can finally have a shower and get some much needed sleep, tomorrow is going to be another long day.I shower and get to bed and when I tell you as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone! By instinct my body naturally wakes up at 5:00 AM, but I just lay in bed for another Twenty minutes because I have no royal duties to tend to just yet so I can afford to lounge for a bit.I slide out of bed and check my phone, it's now 5:35 AM I stretch and head to the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth, I think I'll go for a quick run before the pack rises then shower before the other Alphas get here for the meeting, I haul on a vest and running pants as well as my slippers and make my way down the stairs, this descend will be my cardio warm up before my run.I have a fairly good idea of the grounds from yesterday so I'm certain I won't get lost, I was just out the front door when I see the Alpha and Beta brothers just about the enter the woods, my Lycan hearing allowed me to eavesdro
" Uhm well my King " he blushes and rubs the back of his head " I presume this has something to do with that mate of yours hmm " " yes my King " " has she accepted you? " " well, I guess I can say yes, or more so her wolf has but long story short she does not want to leave her pack here and move to the Royal City " " and you don't want to return to the City without her I take " he bows " yes my King that is correct, please don't see me as an abandoner but if I could just have some time so she could get to know and trust me then perhaps I could convince her to come with me to the City "" It really would be a shame to lose such an exemplary Royal Guard Grey but to me a mate bond is very important and I don't see it as you abandoning us, besides this works out just fine in regards to something I have planned for the packs, we will talk about it further tomorrow okay? be at the packhouse for mmm let's say 09:30 AM and we'd do a briefing and tell the others to be here as well "" Yes my K
Once they were all done, the King stood up and thanked them for their time, we were about to leave when Evo called out to me " ah Alpha Teejan " " yes Evo " " Ivo wants to know, where Red is, he'd like to say thank you but Red never came to visit which is pretty unusual "" Ahh yes sorry, you know Red would've been the first in and last out huh, I sent Red out on a solo mission sorry to say but it couldn't wait "" Okay, we understand we will see Red after then, thank you Alpha " they all bow again as we turn to leave.We walk out of the hospital in silence, once we're outside the King comes closer to me " may I ask what was Red's mission that had to be done so soon after an incident like that " " I do apologies my King, if I had known before you were coming I would not have sent Red straight away, it wasn't until after Red left I got word that you were on the way to the pack "" I see, well if that's what happened then I suppose it can't be helped " Alpha King TylerHmm, I do find i
I meet them on their way to the second site which is where the creatures escaped, I quite honestly feel some type of way that we had them, well one of them in our grasp and let them get away but what comforts me is knowing that even though that happened we were able to save the warrior, his human form has only a small scar on his face which I know would've been much worse had Roro not been there, he most likely would've been disfigured or worse, dead." Ah, Alpha Teejan, you made it " " sorry for the delay Alpha Tyler " " hmm it's no problem, I'd like to speak to the warriors after we finish inspection on the border, I was also telling your Beta that you should think about cutting a few trees around the territory, if it is a case of the creatures really are hiding from the sun then that could be helpful "" Well as much as I appreciate that advise sir, but I don't really that would be a good thing to do because it would then expose our borders not only to other packs and rogues but al
