“Sam, Drew and Talia, you all will also leave in two days on the jet with Seleste and her warriors, but you will go to meet up with Alpha Blake of the Crescent Moon pack. There has been a little unrest in South America and the Caribbean Islands. Alpha Blake has some contacts in both areas. We need to know who the leader of this unrest is and what they are trying to accomplish. The intel we have so far is that there is a mixed group of shifter who think that they have years before the protector is back on the in action. Everyone felt the shift of power from Seleste on her birthday, but they are assuming the protector was just born since they did not feel the shift when Former Gamma True passed away. You all will also work with Councilman Pruitt. Councilman, do you have anything to add.?”
“No Bari, I think you have covered everything. You all need to be to our private airfield before 6am Tuesday morning. If we have any new information, we will provide it for y
Ben linked me and told me that our friend wants to get together tonight at the dinner. This will be the last time all of us will be together for a while. They want to meet tonight at 8:30. Ben made sure to tell me that Seleste will be there and told me to be on my best behavior. I’m a little offended that he felt the need to warn me about my behavior. I know I did some dumb stuff over the last year, but Ben is my best friend. He of all people should know that I am sincere about wanting to be better and that I am taking all of this seriously. On the other hand, I have to admit that he has the right to be concerned. They all tried to warn me in the past and I didn’t listen. I was stubborn in my determination to do the wrong thing. I guess it will take time for them to believe in me again.I’m feeling the strain and consequence of my actions emotionally. Right now, I just feel drained. I heard from Convel that he had been taking most of the pain from the reject
*I lie here for a while longer. Since I am already dressed, I don’t need to go home. I stay in the meadow until the very last minute. I walk back to the packhouse and get my car. I can say that for the first time in over a year, I’m looking forward to all of us being together. I know that Seleste and I are not friends again, but I’m glad we are not enemies.I make it to the dinner. All of my friends are already there. I come in and find a seat at the table. I can tell there is still a little tension in the air. Our friends don’t know how to act with Seleste and me both in the room. I need to clear the air with our friends so that we can have a good night together. So many mistakes were made by me and I don’t know how to fix it, but I will start by taking ownership of my behavior.After a few minutes of awkward silence, I addressed all of my friends and put my heart on the table.“Guys, I know I made a lot of bone
So, my leaving the pack to train is a reality. The last two days have gone by super fast. Sunday night, I had a long conversation with Trevor. We are not besties again, but I have a somewhat better understanding of what he was thinking over the last year. I still don’t like it. He should have done things differently or maybe had an actual conversation with his father. Anything other than what he did.I left Trevor in the meadow and went home to get ready for our farewell dinner with our friends. I decided to dress nice, but casual. Before I leave the house to go to the diner, I check in on Tamaska to make sure she is ok. I can feel her getting stronger every hour. She is almost fully recovered from breaking the bond. Sitting in the moonlight in our sacred spot has helped tremendously. I am going to miss that spot while I’m traveling, but I’ll be able to come to bask in the moonlight and recharge when I return to the pack periodically. I go downstairs and kis
Today is the day I leave my pack and head to the Royal pack. I drove myself. The Royal pack is only a two to three-hour drive from our pack. My parents, my friends, and a lot of the pack members gathered around as I loaded my car to leave. It is a little bittersweet leaving. I’ve never been away from my pack and family for more than a month or two, so I am really going to miss everyone, but I know this is the best thing for my pack and for me. Convel is almost back to normal. I am really glad. I kind of missed that puppy.“Who are you calling a puppy? I’m a full-grown alpha wolf.” Convel said in a huff.Yes, is it nice having him back and grumpy as ever. It was a little lonely in my head while Convel was rejuvenating. I will be forever grateful to Seleste for allowing me to keep him. Even though I have sentenced us to a life without experiencing the mate bond, I am so grateful to have Convel I know eventually, we will need to take a cho
“James, I just got the call from Councilman Barinel. The visitors will be here in 30 minutes. Do we have everything ready?”“Yes alpha. Everything is ready. I have the room ready for this shewolf, whoever she is. I don’t know why we have to play host to some pampered princess.” The Beta says with a huff.“James, it is an honor for our pack to have been chosen for this project. I never said she was a pampered princess or anything like that.”“No, you didn’t say anything other than we will have an important guess coming with the council and I need to make the best room ready for this shewolf. I don’t see why we have to roll out the red carpet.”“Beta, it is not your place to question my orders. If you have a problem, I can always find someone else to do the job. You are the one acting like a pampered princess right now. You need to get yourself together or I will replace you. Is that un
We leave the restaurant and head to the pack. Councilman Barinel is driving. I called shotgun. My warrior team seats behind me. Talia and the twins sat together in the back of the van. The trip from the restaurant to the pack entrance was nice and serene. The scenery changed every couple of miles.“Councilman Bari. I think this is the first in all the years that I have known you. I have seen you drive yourself anywhere.”“I actually like driving, but my security team rarely lets me do it. This time it’s better that we stay low-key. My security team is around but will remain unseen and blend in around us. The less attention I draw to myself, the less attention I draw to you.”“That makes sense.”The rest of the drive was peaceful. I continued to watch the changing greenery. Blood Moon pack is located in a very beautiful area. I never asked Councilman Bari what state we were in, but I’m guessing we are somewhe
“Now for the other three. We have a big mission to complete to get things in order for Seleste while she is training.”You all will be going to Alpha Blake, correct?” Alpha Clark asks.“Yes, that is correct.” Councilman Bari answers.“Councilman Bari, can you tell us a little about Alpha Blake? I have heard about his pack and the great way they keep order along the border, but that is all I know about him other than him being a premier hunter and alpha.” Sam Asked.“Well young hunter, all the stories you have heard are probably true. Although Blake is an alpha, he is dedicated to the Protector team. He has been even more dedicated after losing his mate two years ago during a rogue attack along the border. She was ambushed in an attempt to weaken him. Thank the goddess that Alpha Blake survived and kept his sanity. I believe it is because of his dedication that the goddess had mercy on him. I also believe tha
“Why don’t we show you all to your rooms. Seleste, you are on the top floor with the alpha and beta families. The warriors will be two floors down with the warriors from my pack. My sister will show Warrior Peace to their room. I can’t believe my little sister found her mate and before I did.” Alpha Clark says shaking his head.“His mate is closer than he thinks and he will meet her in due time,” Tamaska says.“Do you know who his mate is T?”“Yes I do, but I cannot tell you. They have to meet normally when it is the right time. If I tell you, you will try to influence them meeting sooner than they should which could mess things up.”“Ok, I won’t ask again, but can I reassure him that his mate is out there?”“Yes, but it will be some time before he meets her, maybe months, but I don’t think it will be a full year,&r
