Jessie awoke feeling relaxed and warm. When did she fall asleep? She sat up and looked around her. She panicked at first. Jessie relaxed as she remembered the last night. They’d captured Kevin, and they’re safe from him. Alrick wanted to deal with issues that plagued her people. He expected her to help, but how did she do that?
The Luna, she wasn’t ready for being that. She knew nothing about being the Luna he expected. She needed education and would take years to get it. Gods, she would screw up her new life before it even started. She believed him now. The clothing in that enormous closet, he’d stopped lying to her, and he included her in his

Breakfast ended, and Alrick still felt the frosty nature Jessie emanated. “We should check in with the miners. See if it’s safe to enter yet. If not. There’s no point in standing out there waiting.” “True. If that’s the case, you can try to have a talk with Ashley. Or check on the search for my brother and his band of assholes.” Jessie busied herself gathering up her dishes. She didn’t look at Alrick. “Fine. I’ve put off dealing with her. Do you want to be there?” “Why would I want to be involved? No. My relationship with Ashley is di

Alrick returned to the packhouse with Jessie in tow. In the packhouse’s office, Alrick scanned the documents. Alrick locked the original documents away in a safe for their safekeeping. He’d use the copies to verify everything. He didn’t want to leave the originals on his desk. Anyone could take them. “Alright, I’m sending a message to my agent. He’s a lawyer that deals with my real estate transactions. He deals with the various rights attached to them. We’ll get to the rest of our issues after.” “Wait, how much land do you that? Why would you need an agent?” “It’s a complicated legal mess otherwise. The time it takes up is lengthy

A few last words, Ashley left with to search out Craig. She wasn’t happy. Ashley looked as if she were a cat who ate the cream. She’s planning something. This didn’t sit well with Jessie. Alrick appeared, unaware of the next issue with this woman. “Bonnie. Are you alright?” Ashley finally left. Jessie stepped into the kitchen. She watched Bonnie. “Are you hurt?” “You are such a dear. You’re sweet for asking, thank you. I’m not hurt. My nerves are just in top gear. Ashley overstepped her position. I think she believes if she acts as she believes a Luna acts like, then Alrick will change his mind on who his mate is. The woman is a fool. I swear

Alrick left the dining room and hid in his office. He wanted to be with Jessie, but it was true. He’d things to do. Messages to return, documents to sign, not to mention talking with Craig. He needed to give Craig a heads up about Ashley. Sitting at his desk, Alrick took out his cellphone and answered several messages before biting the bullet and calling Craig. Craig had enough on his plate already. Alrick felt guilty about needing to pass more to him. “Hey, you see Ashley yet?” “Not yet. Why?”&nb
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Demanding Visitor
Jessie’s consciousness slowly returned to her. The world around her looked different. Grey and hazy. She frowned, sat up on the bed. The voice called to her again. It wasn’t far from its sound. But the voice sounded off. Like it’d an echo somehow. Jessie climbed out of bed. She followed the noise out of the apartment. Jessie noticed the packhouse was silent. No one was about. She figured everyone must be sleeping. Following the voice out through the kitchen. The night was dark. It’s unnaturally dark. There was no wind, nothing moved. It was like everything was dead. The mist was thicker outside, giving everything softened edges. Then it hit her.A quick lookup. Stars, but no moon. No moon meant she was in the Dream Realm. Her heart picked up its pace at this discover

Alrick fell into a heavy sleep quickly. However, when he dreamed, things were far from perfect. He noticed his surroundings. At first, he didn’t recognize where he was. It’s too dark for him to make out where he was. He could see shadows flitting back and forth, nearly out of sight. Alrick could hear wails and screams off in the distance.He could hear something closer gorging on something that sounds squishy and wet. He shuddered, deciding that he wouldn’t investigate who or what it was. Alrick realized now he was in a cave or rough-hewn tunnel. The walls were damp. He stood in a chamber-like room. With tunnels branching off in different directions. There was something clinging to the rock walls, giving off

Morning came early as Eric’s phone woke them. Blurry-eyed, he struggled out of bed to answer it. “Yeah?” He listened for a few moments. Jessie watched from the bed. Tense as she waited to find out. Why they were receiving a call at this hour. She caught Alrick’s attention and mouthed. “Who is it? What’s wrong?” Alrick only held up a finger and continued to listen. “Corral them and keep them calm. Rachel or Davie need to fix that. We do not deal with that. They can call someone in to fix that. Yeah, it’s the worst thing that could happen. But that’s why we brought in NARC representatives. We’ll survive this. Just keep a low-key. Don’t admit to knowing anything. Stick to the story that the land was unused to our knowledge and we’ve just ga

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

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
