2024-10-29 19:42:56Craig and Rachel returned to the old drug lab. Here they could set up. Then send out small teams of people. Run in stealthily and attempt to catch him unawares.
“Alright, Ashley. You and Craig will go investigate the old packhouse. Focus on the basement, and attic. Any place a secret room might exist. Look for spaces, seem off. You’re looking for a secret space, don’t expect a sign hanging on the wall. Space might hold an old bunker or safe room. If you think you’ve found something, then don’t search for an entrance. Contact us immediately so that we can be there enforce to lower the danger factor.” Rachel instructed those leading the groups around an old table that now housed several maps and other documents. Craig leaned on the table watching the faces of those she instructed, what

Serving the Alpha at His Whim Holly Jolly Chaos and Walking into It
Alrick and Jessie returned to the packhouse. They’re greeted with absolute chaos. People were everywhere. Decorating, delivering, and creating everything. They could hear Bonnie running the kitchen like a madwoman. Jessie assumed the sheer size of this endeavour overwhelmed Bonnie and its time constraints. Alrick sighed. His office was one of the few rooms off-limits during the event. So, he’d have a safe space from the chaos there. “Why don’t you go see if you can help her out? I’ll get down to the mess in the office. I’m sure it’s boring sitting there watching me work. Never mind, you would distract me.” He smiled and placed a kiss on the top of her head. “Sure. I believe she needs it. She can’t be in all places. She needs others
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Ashley and Holly, the Search Goes On
Sal paced in front of the old building. Time was of the essence. They must hunt down who took Ashley. He wasn’t sure when he’d lost her. Sal cursed himself out because she was in his care. She disappeared on his watch. They didn’t arrive in the next three minutes. Sal decided he would go in alone and find her. It wasn’t long before several vehicles pulled up. Rachel, the lead enforcer on this mission, flew out of the passenger side door. She halted before him. “What in the hell happened? Your instructions were to stay together. Search for evidence and if you find something call it in.” “I thought she followed me to the attic, and I was there when I realized she wasn’t behind me. I figur
Serving the Alpha at His Whim The Best Laid Plans
Bonnie and Hannah met with Jessie in the Delivery Storage Room. The pack used the room to store delivered pack purchases. Then the pack member could pick it up later. That meant there were often boxes and packages scattered throughout the room. No one made it their job to organize the area. It’s now difficult to find things. “Hello, alright we’ll check this place and then break for lunch. No one works on an empty stomach.” Bonnie laid down her law before they said anything. “If we must.” Bonnie’s words did not phase Hannah. She smiled at Bonnie. “We’re
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Grounding for Celebrations
There wasn’t any point in further searching. The baskets weren’t there. “I ordered eight baskets. This is the invoice they left. How did I miss it? There’s a note on the back. Who writes on the reverse? The last half of the shipment is coming separately. They don’t say a date we’ll receive it on.” Bonnie frowned in a puzzled manner at the back of the invoice. “We’ll work with this.” Jessie didn’t think of her words’ meaning. What she’s thinking? This was Bonnie’s event. She was helping. “I’ll pass on the message about the baskets and tell everyone to break for lunch.” “Yes, lunch is ready in the
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Juggling Crazy
Ashley watched Hector pace in the gloom. She contemplated what she could say to save her skin. “Blame your sister, Jessie, and Alrick too. We’re trapped here because of them. Think about what they’ve done.” Ashley needed him distracted away from her. Her safety hinged on distracting Hector. “You can’t keep your mouth shut. Can you?” His voice was more growl than words. She bet his teeth were closer to a wolf’s than a human’s. “Jessie’s screwed up everything. She conned your father to get everything. Then she wouldn’t share with you.” The Gods only knew what ‘everything,’ was. “Then she stole Alrick from me. Just because she could. You can’t let her have this. It’s wrong. What’s your plan? Alrick owns everything. He’s got what’s you
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Setting Up the Future
Jessie sat at Alrick’s desk and watched him shuffle papers, talk to people on the phone. This was her future. Ashley might change Alrick’s mind. She knew mates were just that. Forever and permanent. But her parents taught her that mates could still regret their choice in mates. Just because of great sex. Didn’t mean your partner was. Alrick confirmed moments ago that Hector was in fact her half-brother. The Iron Hill Pack wasn’t his but Jessie’s and whoever she mated. So her parents experienced traumatic events of which the other couldn’t forgive or forget. Would that happen to Alrick and her? She was useless to him because she was an uneducated bumpkin. Why did her father believe girls were useless? “Jessie, we’ve got confirmation. Your father put the mines into y
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Things are Coming Together
Ashley slunk through the darkness. This was the basement, but not a section she’d explored. Now she stumbled her way through by her phone’s faint light.She wondered if they threw anything away. She couldn’t find a path through the trash and abandoned things. The few items she’d looked at show damage and wouldn’t be useable. Moving through, Ashley prayed her phone’s battery would survive. She’d never seen so many old-fashioned phones in one place. Glancing around to find a new place to stop, she’d seen no less than seven shattered telephones. Either they were accident prone, or someone needed anger management. She’d not hear of it for shifters. Some animals lay closer to the surface of the person’s nature. Those often were the ones who’d become rogue. Rogue was a polite word for becoming a feral. Where the animal nature became domin
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Growing Pains and Shocking Surprises
“Jessie, can you meet me in the office? We need to talk about several things with Craig. Before we announce anything to the pack.” Alrick said into his cellphone when his mate accepted his call. She still wasn’t good at using it. But at least she could answer and make a call.“Yes, sure. I’m finishing up here with the volunteers. Give me ten to fifteen minutes.” Jessie looked around as everyone snacked. She’d dropped a bombshell on them. Many didn’t have a chance yet to react to her words. Jessie hated doing this. She felt she was mean to them. How could she cope with everything? She needed the support of the pack. “Now I need to know where I stand with everyone. Things will change and I understand that not everyone will like it. There’re things coming from outside the pack. It’ll change the dynamic. I can’t explain it yet, but we’re able to help others survive something horrible coming. I need to k

Serving the Alpha at His Whim Epilogue
Three months since the mine returned to the Silver Ridge Pack’s control. It’d been out of their hands for almost six months in total. The miners could finally return to the mine safely. Oddly, the Fae never returned to the region. Perhaps the Fae thought better of returning for some unknown reason? Either way, the pack now settled into their new way of life. Everyone lived more closely together and now grew closer to each other every day. Kelly and Kyle focused on themselves and the things going on in the tavern. Making changes where needed to make life easier for the suddenly overflowing pack living and working under the tavern’s roof. Not everyone initially was a pack member, which meant there were strangers among them, but they were in the same position as the pack. They would come to find their places in the pack. It wasn’t smo
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Kyle’s Intent
Kyle left Craig’s office and went back to the tavern. The changes around here didn’t sit well with him. He didn’t know how he’d tell Kelly the truth about him. He’d told Alpha Alrick when he approached him to ask for membership, and they both agreed that they would take it easy and not tell anyone about it. He entered the warmth of the tavern and went in search of Kelly. There were more people staying here. Kyle would need to get used to it. On a good note, someone started preparing the bar for tonight. He wondered who that was. He’d need to find out and see what he could arrange. It would be nice to have someone else behind the bar a few nights per week. He’d have time to focus on Kelly and Eddie. Here’s hoping it wasn’t Kelly. She would have so much on her hands right now. He w
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Inside the Chamber, Situation Status
In the Chamber, Dean found his people working hard to document everything they could. He thought of the worst-case scenario. His mind worked out vague plans on how they’d evacuate the entire pack or packs. He didn’t know where the blast radius would be. If they could use this magical leak to their advantage, they could use it to attract the magically starved Fae here. Because they’d attacked several wells of power in Europe. Well, ancient wells, wells that ran dry over a thousand years ago of their magic. “Sir! I think you need to see this.” One of the portal experts brought in to review what they’d found. “I need to show you what we have. Though I think we just might have a weapon on our hands that we can use.&r
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Digging into the Secrets
Dean left the Alpha’s office and moved towards the vehicle that would take him to the mine. His heart sank. Because of the lies he must tell these shifters. But the mage’s council ordered the information with a need to know thing. Those runes weren’t the mystery. It’s the placement of them. Dates and times didn’t add up for them. The meaning of the runes was what they wanted, kept quiet. Mages or even druids opened these portals. It’d been the humans, but that wasn’t the shocking thing. Humans didn’t possess magic, meaning someone was powering them. Someone supernatural, and the traces of power he’d found at the other site told him far too much. It took him several weeks to discover what supern
Serving the Alpha at His Whim All that Ends Well, Never Fully Ends
Alrick sat back in his chair as he watched Jessie walk from the room. He hated doing that, but the future didn’t look like it would be any easier. If Kelly and Kyle possessed any chance at happiness, they must work things out by themselves. Interfering with any part of the process would cause complications and all involved would suffer for it. He couldn’t stand for that. Now he needed to focus on the issues at hand and put out as many of the dumpster fires as possible. Craig found three incidents already where he’d forced wolves into time out, meaning they’d locked them away for a time to cool off. To wolves, this was like putting a drunk into a drunk tank to sober up. Territorial instinct still lingered within wolf shifter’s minds.&nbs
Serving the Alpha at His Whim The New Normal
Jessie now sat in Alrick’s office again. Alrick returned to the office and instantly went to his computer and copying something to everyone. There were two mages in there with them and they were watching a video Alrick took of the portal. “Well, it’s definitely not natural, and whatever is trapped inside the crystal isn’t as secure as we hoped. Look at this crack here. When the wall came down, it must have damaged it. We’ll get it secured as soon as we’re done here. But the runes are fascinating. I’ve not seen anything similar to this. We need to get copies of them. Then we’ll get people in translating them. But I know these aren’t from the local area. They didn’t have a written language when these runes appeared, that’s for sure. Someone came here and did this long
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Kelly's Future
Kyle couldn’t believe this. It took him several attempts to discover why this summons came so suddenly. When the enforcers first entered the tavern, he thought they were there to take him away from everything and everyone that he’d grown to love within the last few years. Now, with Kelly so close all the time, he didn’t want to deal with this. He just wanted to live a quiet life. Thank the gods he didn’t go off on them. Because what they called them in for was far more unbelievable. The Fae were back. Gods, the Fae. Now here they were setting up people to stay above the tavern. Several would stay in the restaurant, studying the human media for mentions of their actions. Others looked after the cattle. The mine would one day return to the pack, and only the gods knew when it would happen. NARC sent a motley cr
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Life Changing
Kelly couldn’t believe what was going on. Her heart pounded as they escorted everyone to the Audience Chamber. Her confusion increased when she saw everyone entering at the same time. Was there something wrong with the refugees? Before entering she asked several people but all she learnt was, it was an emergency. Once inside, though, she learnt quickly about some very unbelievable things. The Fae were back and roaming the world again. How could that happen? No one was aware of that. They could only find out that one enforcer on duty at the mine experienced an attack by an unknown Fae. Where and why were both great mysteries? Kelly quickly found Petra and retriev
Serving the Alpha at His Whim The Path of War: Guardians
Alrick sent the first force back to the Audience Chamber to help with organizing nearly three hundred shifters. They would fan out throughout the emergency land. When this pack first settled here, they laid out the main buildings in such a way that they could guard them easier, and the pack could monitor each others’ safety. The issue with this is it didn’t take into the changes within fighting over time. With machine flight, and now Fae using the Dream Realm as their public transit. They literally popped in and out at will. But at least it gave protection from physical attack and a false belief that everything would be okay. He prepared to go with his second set of forces for a short time. He needed to assess what truly was there. Not that he didn’t believe Herald. If Herald said he saw this, then Alrick believed
