2022-04-21 08:23:32Our 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

As I race towards my den, I keep my awareness spread out for any surprise attacks. I have had enough of those when I was training with Elle at her house in the mountains. They managed to get the upper hand on me a couple of times but now I am ready for them.I crouch behind a bush as I get close to my den. Sniffing around, I notice a couple of unfamiliar scents but they are all around a day old. This could be from when Morden and Lovette came to visit. Maybe I am just being overprotective but I would rather check it out just to be safe.Nothing is moving in the den from where I am sitting so I move closer slowly. My belly is practically dragging the ground as I move stealthly closer to the opening. Keeping my awareness out and my wolf senses alert I still do not detect anything abnormal as I creep closer to the entrance.Right before I go to enter the den I hear Dante yell "Stop!" through our mind link. Luckily, all I have put into the entrance is my nose

If this is a trap for me then shouldn't I be the one to go in and check it out first? Why would Elle want to be the one to go. It could be something that even she cannot handle. "I think that I should go in first. I am not only a witch but I have my wolf as well. It might help me out more than we know." I try to persuade her. "No, when I say that I am going first, I mean it. I have the knowledge to counteract almost anything that they could have done in there so I will be the one to go. It might be nothing and if so, then I will allow you to follow me. I am not arguing about it. If you insist on trying to follow me, I will have to use magic to keep you from entering until I am all done." Elle threatens. She must mean business if she is thtreatening to use magic on me. I had not expected that. As I watch her duck into the den I can feel the tension in the air. She is much better trained. By a few hundred years. Still, I cannot help but feel as if I need

After delivering the supplies to Elle, Dante and I continue to do a sweep of our territory along with as many spare wolves as we can find. Every female that has been training with me as well as some of the teenagers are out helping us as well. Even without witch powers we are hoping that with their knowledge of the area they will be able to tell if something is amiss. By the time we have checked everywhere we are relieved to find that nothing else seems strange."What type of thing do you think they were doing in my den?" I ask Dante as we get ready for bed.While he grabs some pajama pants he thinks a bit before answering, "I am not sure. With witches I can never tell. They all are just so blood thirsty and confusing.""Hey! I take offense to that!" I say jokingly before continuing, "But, honestly, I do agree. At least when it comes to the only coven that I have met. It seems like all they want to do is get their way and they will go to any lengths necessary to

The very next dawns almost as if nothing had happened. Except for the fact that when Julia meets me at the gym, she tells me that Elle went straight to the den to work on studying the runes. I guess the best time to do that is before our lesson so that she can tell us what all we are looking for today. I fully expect that she will give us plenty of reading material to study runes and try to make sense of what is written on the walls."Oh, Kevin is here. Am I just going to work with him every time from now on?" Julia asks a little shyly."Unless he thinks that you are ready to work with the rest of the group then yes, you will be working with him. You are not quite as fast and strong as the wolves naturally are so it would be best to keep you separated until you are all caught up. He helped train me when I first got here so I have no doubt that he will be able to help you." I explain.She just nods and looks more nervous than upset to be working with Kevin

Elle seems a little distracted when we get to the house to work on our lesson with her. All she does is hand us each a couple of rudimentary books on runes and tell us to start studying. About half an hour into the lesson she then hands out some sheets with runes on them that she wants us to translate. It is slow work that takes quite a while for us to translate but eventually we get the sheets figured out.Each one that she handed us translates into a simple spell. After we translate them she has us copy and perfect each one. Even the wrong placement of a line by a centimeter can change the entire spell so she checks them over and has us redo them until she deems them to be absolutely perfect. Then she dismisses us before grabbing a cloak and heading back out."She seems awfully distracted today. Do you think that it is all because of the runes that you found in the den?" Julia asks me."I can only assume that is it. What are your plans for the night if she is

"Well, now that dinner is over we should get the patrols started. Sorry Julia but I will have to have you return to the house. You do not have to stay there but without one of us around I do not want any of the wolves to think that you are fair game for any reason. Most listen really well even when we are not around but for now I would prefer of one of us or Elle were with you at all times." I tell her."That is alright. I understand. As much as I wish to go out and explore sometime I do not want to go alone. I will wait until I have somebody that can go with me." Julia says."I will walk you home. If you would like I can take you to do something this weekend. I am sure that Dante will be able to spare me for a short while at least." Kevin offers.Julia starts blushing again as they turn to walk out the door. She sure does blush easily when it comes to Kevin. Maybe they will be able to bond more over the weekend since they will be doing something other than trai

We start out following the same route as the night before. None of the wolves in my patrol are the ones that were with me last night thankfully. I do not want them thinking that every time I go out on patrol I am going to do something strange.We fan out and follow the same general idea as the last time that we went out. We make sure that the men stick with the women and show them what all to look out for. There is not quite enough wolves for anybody to be paired with me but after years of living in these woods I think I can manage a simple patrol.As we approach the den, I send my awareness deeper into the den. I can feel Elle still in there, sitting on the floor and sketching the runes onto paper. There are countless papers scattered around her in no particular order. Does show know for sure what she is doing?There are also two guards outside of the entrance with another five constantly circling it in turns. I am glad that Dante is not taking the threat too l

When we get back to the pack house to swap out patrols I see the next set of patrols eyeing me a little differently. They must have all been gossiping about what had happened through their mind link. Granted they cannot all mind link everybody like Dante and I can but spouses can definitely speak to each other and before they switched back into their wolf forms communication would have been no issue. So, of course, everyone knows what happened on patrol today."Let's go! Let's get this patrol done so I can get back home and relax." I say to them all before turning and running off again.I do not wait to see if my group follows me or not, I just keep running. After what had happened I can only assume that they would all follow without having to be told multiple times or threatened once again."Do you want me to do anything else to handle David?" Dante asks me using our mind link."That is up to you. I would hate for the rest of the pack to think that he go

"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
