I hope you liked this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
When Joshua and Alpha Lucien returned to the pack house, Joshua walked straight to me and picked me up in a bear hug. He buried his face in my neck and inhaled my scent, calming himself and me. Alpha Lucien, Doug and Andrew walked in and I asked, “Did we have any casualties?” Andrew shook his head, “No, that was a big rogue attack.” I nodded, “I took care of four of them just outside the front and back doors. It was nuts.” Then I sighed and looked around the pack house with my hands on my hips, shaking my head. There was trash from take-out meals, cups, pizza boxes, and even old food all over the place. I looked in the kitchen and the stovetop looked like it hadn’t been washed since I left the pack. It was caked with grease and every dish in the kitchen was dirty. When the pack was back in the pack house, Alpha Lucien told them all to go into the pack meeting room. I gave them all fifteen minutes to settle down and get quiet. That was when Alpha Lucien started addressing the pack, “
I walked into the laundry room and found a disaster area. There was not an inch of floor that wasn’t covered by dirty laundry. I put the palm of my hand on my forehead, “Holy hell! Who is responsible for this mess?” One of the omegas answered, “It’s the pack, Alpha. They just throw their laundry in here and they don’t worry about where it lands.” I shook my head, “I’m sorry for this. This is going to stop too. Let me go get your new washers and dryers and you can work on getting this cleaned up. Once all this is cleaned up, we can put a huge hamper in the doorway so they can throw the clothes in there, instead of on the floor. I’m assuming that all the clothes they are throwing in here are clothes that were in the forest when they shift back into their human form.” The omegas nodded and one replied, “That’s exactly what they are.” I went to the office and immediately started looking at the books. I called the bank and found that Raymond was trying to withdraw from the pack account, bu
I walked to the common room and an omega let in ten people. As I stood with Andrew and my mate, I smiled, “Welcome. I am Alpha Isabel Myers. This is my mate, Joshua. This is my Co-Alpha, Andrew.” The first man approached me, “I am David Collins. My family left this pack when your parents were killed. We are so happy you were able to take it back. We were told you didn’t survive the rogue attack.” I explained, “I was well-hidden. Alpha Ben and Luna Kate found me and forced me into slavery the day of their funeral. I found my mate during a ball this pack held. My mate is Beta Joshua from Cold Springs Pack, so I am Co-Beta of that pack. I have named Andrew my Co-Alpha of this pack. He will be reporting to me daily and I will be down regularly for a pack run, special occasions and at least one weekend a month.” They agreed, “It’s good that you aren’t going to just turn it over to him and leave for good.” I smiled, “I couldn’t do that. Our second son will be Alpha of this pack when he is ol
We had been in Red Moon Pack for a week and we had welcomed a minimum of twenty new members each day. One day, we welcomed one hundred new members. We were now up to three hundred thirty-five pack members and we were still growing. I was almost overwhelmed with how much had changed. The training grounds was starting to get a tad crowded, so we cleared a little more of the surrounding forest to expand the grounds. I was smiling as I watched our warriors train from my office window and felt my mate’s strong arms come around me, “Matt and Jessie are coming down today. They want to see what we are doing with the pack.” I smiled, “I can’t wait to see them. I miss our home, but I really think we have a couple weeks work left here. Especially getting the books straightened out. We still haven’t gotten the safe open either.” He smiled, “Matt can help with that.” I whipped my head around, “What? How can he do that?” He laughed, “Matt used to crack the combination on our dad’s safe every time
The first note read, “To my grandchild. I want you to know that I wish I could have been with you when you took my pack back. I would have loved to have seen the look on your face when you saw the contents of the safes. I never really trusted banks. Well, not necessarily banks, but the wolves working in them. I would have used human banks, but I could have never explained this much money to the human government. “I’m sure you are asking how I knew I would lose the pack and that it would be you, and not my son, to take it back. Well, you have a cousin who is an oracle. She came to me one day and told me that my Luna, your grandmother, and I would be killed in our sleep by an outsider in order to take our pack. You see, Alpha lesson number one is once your pack gets big and it is flourishing, it becomes a target for other Alphas or even a regular lone wolf who wants to be an Alpha. You, my grandchild, are starting out with a huge pack that is flourishing. “I hope Jacob was able to come
At dinner that evening, we added the one hundred seventy-five new members to the pack and then we started a bonfire to be able to visit with one another and Honi would bless the pack. I explained to the pack that we will be receiving an Arapaho blessing from my mother-in-law. They all applauded resoundingly and Honi actually blushed as she nodded her head in thanks. I walked back inside to get a drink and heard another knock on the door. I opened the door and a man and woman were standing there. The man, Michael, introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Michael and this is my mate, Jada. She is an oracle.” I smiled widely as I asked, “Are you the oracle who warned my grandfather?” She smiled as she nodded, “I am. I hate that he passed, but I am very happy to meet his granddaughter.” I welcomed them into the house with a hug and added, “I would like to make you members of the pack again and then you are welcome to join us in watching my mother-in-law give the pack an Arapaho blessing.” We walk
When we got back to the pack house, we went back to my office and Joshua asked, “What are you doing, love? You are supposed to be relaxing.” I laughed, “I’m just looking through all of this paperwork from the safes. I want to see what all this is. While you guys were looking at the land that my grandfather left, I found more deeds and checked them with the land office. We still own them. There are some businesses. A couple are some of the oldest businesses in the pack. One is an old-fashioned ice cream shop.” He chuckled, “We should try it out before we go home.” I smiled, “We should do that but not right now. There are also some other deeds that I’m not familiar with.” I handed some to him and he furrowed his brow, “We should get an original pack member in here. It’s very possible that we didn’t need to buy that apartment building for revenue.” I smiled, “But it would come in handy for any overflow of pack members until we are able to build more houses.” He smirked as he nodded, “Tha
We had a nice walk and when we got to the ice cream shop, I was floored when we walked in the door. It had the feel of the old-time ice cream shop and soda fountain. Behind the counter was a huge dark-stained wood shelving system with a series of spigots and a variety of syrups in bottles in the center. On the shelves to the right, there were four different sizes of glasses, straws and spoons with long handles. The shelves to the left held an assortment of styles of ice cream dishes and a container holding several ice cream scoops in sanitizing water. There were four freezer cases under a marble countertop. Inside, there were two-gallon buckets containing forty different flavors of ice cream. The glass windows on the outside allowed the customers to choose the flavors they preferred. I smiled widely as I looked around at the nostalgic décor. Joshua and I held hands as we approached the counter. I looked in the windows and noticed an ice cream that was a beautiful shade of pink, with c
