2022-04-16 07:13:33It took almost all afternoon before Elle finally came up to us and told us that we could take a break for the day. In all, we moved almost a quarter of the plants to new homes. Our backs are aching, we are drenched in sweat and personally, my arms feel like rubber. But, the plants that we moved are much happier in their new homes. Maybe this will mean that they will thrive even more than they have been.
The walk back to the pack house is farther away than I remember. As I make the walk, my feet feel like lead. Maybe the longer jog this morning before lessons was a bad idea. Then again, how was I supposed to know that Elle was going to expect us to do physical labor today as well? Normally training with her is all mental.
If I am feeling this sore then I am sure that Julia is really feeling it. She may have just been training with the kids today but any training on a body that is not used to it is going to be extremely difficult. By tomorrow she might even decide not to

"How exactly are we supposed to do something like that? We can't just leave with the rest of the pack unprotected. I am all for taking some time off and spending it with you but doing what and where?" I query out loud."We can spend some time thinking on it for now. Maybe an opportunity will come up." He says mysteriously.Has he already planned something without telling me? Or does he just know something that is happening soon that will help me to make up my mind? I narrow my eyes as I study him. He definitely seems to be hiding something."I take it you are just going to let me wait and find out?" I say to him."I have no idea what you are talking about." He says jokingly.Well, looks like I am going to be kept in the dark until he wishes for me to know what is going on then. At least I have plenty to keep me busy until then. We both know that I definitely could use a vacation with all of the training that I have been doing lately so if som

"Why don't you come in and join us for a bit. Take a seat." Morden says to me rather sweetly.Nothing about what is going on is making any sense. I know that they are not here to be nice to me so what could they possibly want? What could make a witch and a werewolf work together? The only way to find out is to join them and see if I can get any answers.Walking closer to them, I decide to lean against one of the walls instead of actually sitting across from them. I do not exactly trust that they will not have somebody come up behind me when my back is turned."What's wrong? Don't trust us?" Morden asks."Not really. Not the greatest track record I am afraid. Plus, to put the entire pack to sleep just to get a moment alone with me is not exactly the greatest way to build trust. You should really work on that." I say sarcastically."It is rather sad that it has come down to this. I have been asking for a meeting with you for some time. This was

Morden seems absolutely furious at the fact that Julia does not wish to go with her. I do not blame Julia by any means though. From what she has said, living and training with Morden was an absolute nightmare. Not something that I would want to willingly go back to by any means."Well then, now that that is settled. I think that it is time for you to go ahead and take your leave. There is no reason for you to be here. As you can see, we are not holding her against her will. I promise that I have not brainwashed her by any means either. I know that you will choose not to believe that but it is true. So, now, please leave." I tell Morden as nicely as I can manage.The entire time that we have been talking Lovette has not piped in about anything. I have no idea how she feels about this entire situation. Still, she continues to just sit there and watch our back and forth battle instead of joining in. Is something going on here that I do not know for sure?"Tha

"So, what happened? I know that I did not sleep through my alarm that easily." Dante says as he walks down the stairs."Um, Morden happened." I say a little guiltily.I know that i have not learned anything about spells that could cause an entire pack to sleep that way but I still feel like I should have been able to stop her. I should have known that something was wrong. I just should have done something other than walk right into her trap."What do you mean, Morden happened? What does she have to do with me sleeping like that?" He asks confused."The entire pack did actually. She cast a spell over the whole pack making everyone sleep like the dead until she could talk to Laina. I still do not know what she had hoped to accomplish besides being a nuisance but she was here in this house. She had a younger wolf with her too. Laina, who was she?" Elle says turning to me.Dante turns and looks at me curiously too so I clear my throat and answer,

Julia and I are on our way to practice after breakfast. I cannot help but notice that it seems like Julia is just bursting to say something or ask something. I smile slightly just waiting for her to finally start talking but somehow we make it a block away without her saying anything."Okay, spill, what is going on in that head of yours?" I ask her exasperatedly."Well, this guy training me, Dante said that he is a beta right?" She asks. At my nod she continues on, "So that means that if I can get him to like me then I might be able to get more of the pack to like me too right? I might be able to make some real friends?"She sounds so hopeful for friends that it saddens me. Knowing that Kevin will treat her fairly and not judge her for being a witch leaves me fairly optimistic about the outcome here. She just might find more friends after training with him for a while."Yes, you could make more friends. I know that we are technically family and cons

Since the training lesson this morning went so well for both of us, we arrive at the cottage in high spirits. That is, until we see the look on Elle's face and know that she is going to work us hard today. Thankfully, it has started to rain so I do not think that we are going to be moving the plants around today."Alright so, today showed me just how much we still need to cover. The basics you just need to practice in every day life and you will be okay. Remember to center yourself, connect with the earth and find a way to communicate with plants and animals and most things will come naturally. Today, we are going to learn how to counterract spells that other witches have cast. Now Laina, you and I went over a couple but we did not go over the types of spells that are cast from afar. We only went over the transfiguration types. There are some that can be cast using runes, words, potions or a mixture of all. Not all spells can be counterracted the same way with the most diffic

Today is the day that we have our second group training. There will be no obstacle course for this practice though. Just Dante trying to assess everybody's skills. It is something that we have all been looking forward to. A way for the men to work less and the women to be able to help out more.Most wolf packs still live the same way that they did in the past with women staying home, raising babies and keeping the house clean. The men did all of the warrior type work outside of the house. That would leave the women and children vulnerable if there was an attack but back then it was unheard of for women to entre training.Now, we are going to show the men in our lives that that type of thinking can no longer hold us back. The women are able to help defend the pack just as well as the men. Honestly after watching some of the men fight, the pack might be better off with female warriors as well.Dante and the other men arrive without quite as much pageantry as

Our first patrol with women joining is about to start. I am more nervous than I care to admit. Not because I think that we cannot handle it, but because I worry about how the men are going to react. Having the women go on patrol on their own might have been easier but then we would not have the benefit of experience on our side.Dante thought that having Kevin lead our excursion and having another male that is a little more open minded with us might be helpful so we all gather close to the woods by the packhouse. There is Kevin, Quin, a couple of male warriors that I am not familiar with and then me and two of the females. Most of the patrols are only 3 people total but now that we will have more wolves available we will be increasing the size of the patrols as well as the frequency of them."Alright so for you men, we have done this patrol hundreds of times. We are going to take the perimeter down to the creek and then take the long way around. We will all

"Wait, you can do that?" Frank asks shocked. "Yes, of course I can. It is not something that I have done often, actually only one other time but it is an option. It is one that terrifies her." I admit. "Who did you do it to before?" Rand asks me. "I did it to Morden. There was no other way to stop her from coming after my pack or my family." I answer simply. "Your grandmother said that Simonetta was behind that the entire time. That only makes it right that she gets the same punishment if not worse than what Morden received." Rand points out. I had not thought of it that way but it is true. Still, we need to have a system set up for something like this. Otherwise, there will always be somebody that takes advantage of the power and that is not something that I can condone. "That is very true. I had not thought of that but this is not a decision to be made lightly. There might be longer reaching consequences that even I am not aware of by using this ability. Still, I see no other o

It did not take long at all for the Hybrid Council to arrive. They all file in looking a little shocked to see Simonetta there, unable to use her magic as she floats slightly in the air. Quickly, they find their seats. Then, both Rand and Frank walk in as well. I had not thought of inviting them but I am glad that Dante did. With how long she terrorized their pack it is only fitting that they are here for this as well.I smile at them all as they whisper among themselves for a few moments. This is a bit of a shock for those that were not here to see Simonetta arrive. For Frank and Rand, they finally see their enemy tied up and floating in the air. They are not aware that I can take away her ability to use magic so this is going to be a shock to them when the meeting starts. "I take it you called us all here for a reason?" Elle says once everyone starts to calm down."Yes, I did. As everybody here knows, Simonetta has caused quite a few problems for us. She has terrorized werewolves,

Simonetta rushes towards me using wind to guide her speed. It is not enough to throw me off guard though and I shove a wall of dirt up in front of me. She almost crashes into it before she is able to skid to a stop at the last second. If she had prepared then she might have been able to use the air that was helping her speed up to me to jump over the wall but instead, she is used to using her other powers for combat and did not make the decision in time.As soon as she begins to stop, I tear down the wall and shift into werewolf form quickly to land on top of her with my teeth to her neck. Out of all of the forms that I could have turned into this was the only one that registered as an option. I would like for her to see the one thing that she thinks is beneath her be the thing that brings her down. For once, she surprises me when she throws me off of her with some air. I quickly flip over and land on my paws. I shift back and face her again. She is breathing hard and I find myself a

As soon as my illsuion drops I see Simonetta's face blanche. Chelsea drops to the ground and has it swallow her up as she falls through it to meet the others. I send her a brief thank you as she helps to keep them all safe from whatever back up plan Simonetta could have.She sends me a sad farewell. Apparently she is worried about whether or not I am going to make it out of this one. I might not have used much magic recently but I guarantee that there is no way I will let her get away with this threat. Today, she is going to go down and she is not going to be a threat to anybody with werewolf blood ever again."Wait, you had the baby? No! You can't have had it already!" She screams in rage."Actually, I can. There was nothing stopping me from having it. There is also nothing in the way of me putting a stop to you and your bullying once and for all" I say. She takes a few steps back as she steels herself for what we bothk now is going to happen next. It is a shame that the rest of the

"Why would she ever want to go with you?" I ask Simonetta in shock."I am sure that she can see the benefits when she realizes that if she doesn't then she will never get to meet the bundle of joy in your stomach. I will personally make sure that you are unable to deliever them. After all, the more powerful the babes the less the mother can use magic so I am sure that you are not able to defend yourself very well." Simonetta says triumphantly.I try my best to look worried. I really do. I find that it is difficult to be worried about her though. She has never really had a lot of sway over me. Even when I first realized how much stronger than her I am I had found it difficult to be scared of her. "You really think that I am afraid of you? Even without being able to use my powers you do not worry me. I have plenty of other witches that are able to come and help me." I say."Not before something bad happens to you. Chelsea, I would hate to see for anything bad to happen to Laina. I just

Each team splits up and gets ready to make their way through the obstacle course. They are all going to have to take turns trying to make it through safely. Each team has a designated amount of time before they get elminated. The one that makes it through the fastest and with the least amount of mistakes, will be the ones to win the competition. The course is very similar to the one that we did with the entire pack when we first started training. The one that really got the women moving faster as they fought to make good time through the course to beat the men. This one is just a little more geared towards children and not fully grown adults.Some of the obstacles are smaller to better accomodate their size, some things are closer together and they have even added some new obstacles that would have been difficult for the adults. There are also some obstacles that are going to require teamwork to make it through. If they do not work together then they have no hope of making it to the

It takes much longer than planned to get the babies ready for travel. I have never packed a diaper bag before but luckily Scarlett shows up to help me get them ready and squeal over the twins for a minute. Or more precisely, several minutes."I can't believe that they are finally here! I swear it felt like your pregnancy was never going to end. Every time that I thought you were going into labor and you never did. Yesterday, I had no idea that you were going into labor. How did you keep that from me?!" She says to me."It was not exactly on purpose. I did not even know that I was in labor until I spoke to Dante and then Elle confirmed it. It was a really odd day. We had a lot that happened that day so I thought that everything I was feeling was just from stress." I admit to her."Ha! For once, I could have answered that if you had just talked to me. Instead, you have me doing made up jobs with you to help me out." She says excitedly.I shake my head as she begins showing me exactly h

The first night with the babies was quite a bit of a learning curve. Whenever we put them in their bassinets they just started to cry nonstop until we picked them up again. It took a couple of hours to find out that if we put them into the same bassinet they were able to sleep peacefully and not wake us up. By the time we managed learning that, I was beyond exhausted and ready to sleep. Thankfully, there was more than enough people in the house to help us out throughout the night.When I wake up I find that Dante is already standing over their bassinet watching them sleep. They have managed a few hours of sleep straight which for me was quite shocking considering that they are newborns. "How are they?" I ask him sleepily.Chelsea decided to sleep on one of the loveseats last night as well. She was just too excited to go to sleep in her bedroom after I had the babies. I do not blame her but as she shifts when I start talking I do realize that that might have been a mistake. She is goi

Chelsea comes running in once the babies start to cry for food. Her face is filled with excitement as she rushes over to me. Even though they are hungry, I allow her to hold and rock Caterine while I first feed Archer. I might get good enough to be able to feed them both at once in the future but for now feeding just one is tricky. I never knew that it could be this hard to feed a baby."Hi Caterine, I am your Aunt Chelsea. We are going to be best friends. You are going to get to go to school with werewolf pups and use magic. It is going to be wonderful. I can't wait to teach you everything that I know." Chelsea coos to the baby making all of us smile.It is a good thing that she already has so much experience being around babies because she does a great job holding Caterine while Archer is feeding. She does sit down though as she looks at her. Even though Caterine was crying just a moment ago from hunger, she is now looking at Chelsea with wide eyes. Werewolf pups have much better ey
