2022-03-27 02:06:58"I know we are going to have to make all the big decisions eventually, but I think for the tie being we should lean on Alpha Maxwell for guidence." I tell Ansel.
"Agreed, he should be givin a voice, I also think that we should make up our own council, take one representative from each of the packs that we our to rule over, that way they can have a say in things like taxes, the gala, and the army. I know we haven't talked about those things yet, but I think most every pack will be expecting each of those things..." Ansel says.
"Right, taxes I have thought about, and while I don't really like the idea, I think that we must charge taxes. That way we can use the moneys to fund things like pack repairs after a rogue attack, or a fire, or other such event." I tell him.
"That is a very good point, I also want to use some of the taxes for the Gala, IF the packs decide to have it, then we will need to host the event. In the past it was voted on what

Ansel heads beck to our tent for an afternoon nap, since he will need to be alert through the night he needs to rest now. I keep telling myself that this is just for today, and after today the schedule will be different and I will not have to be away from Ansel so much. It is not helping though... My heart hurts being apart from him, I know its only for a few hours, but our Amore bond was was damaged before it even had a chance to grow... Because of the nature of the bond it has a will of its own, it WANT'S to be forged, it is trying to push us together. To be honest, if we were not so busy with the merge, the move, and the start of a war, then the bond would have worked its will over me much faster and more easily. As it is I am spending the afternoon sitting on the wall, one of the warriors on duty here has a wife who went into labor about an hour ago. I took over for him so that he could go be there for the birth of his child. I don't know what it is l

Alpha Maxwell came up to sit next to me, we have never been super close, but he has always trusted me to do what was best for the pack. I know that he is feeling an aweful lot of emotions at the moment, so I am not sure how this private meeting of ours will go. I have not even had the time to thank him properly for coming to save us from the witch and her army."My Queen, my I make a request before we talk?" He asks."Of course, what is it?" I ask, I am conserned with his tone, he sounds nervous about something."Well, I was hoping that you would be okay with, when we are alone, we could drop the titles and just speak normally? As family?" He asks me."Uncle Maxwell, that is what we have always done... Why would that change now?" I ask him."Now that you are the Queen, I was worried you might not like it anymore... But I was really hoping that we could still be like family." Maxwell says."Agreed, we are f

I talk over a few more things with Alpha Maxwell before he excuses himself to go help set up for the pack meeting we having tonight. I plan to let him run most of the meeting as the Alpha, but as the queen there are a few things that it will be my responcability to address. My shift on guard duty is alost over, I was able to knit 3 baby blankets in the hours I was sitting here. The first one is yellow, with a white trim, the second is pastel, blue with an orange flower in the middle, and the last is a green blanket with a pink flower and a yellow trim. I know there are at least 7 more mothers who are pregnant at the moment, so I will have to make some more, but these are a good start. I plan to give the yellow and white one to the baby that was born today. I am also thinking that maybe I should make some for the babies that are already born, those who came from Ansel's pack, I don't want the children to feel bad later when they figure out that only some have a blanket made by the qu

I am on watch with my Warriors, it feels odd to be on duty on the wall with 2 men as my guards. I want to tell them to go away, that I do not need them to babysit me, but Annie agreed that they should be my guards until I decide who it is that I want as my guards. I can keep these men that Annie and Micheal trust, or I can choose my own guards if I find other men that I trust more. For now I will do what I always do, follow what Annie tell's me to do. Because eventhough I am the King, she is my Queen and I trust her not only with my own life, but with everything that I am as well. She will not onlu take care of my life, and my people, but also my heart, and my soul. I can hear James and Oliver talking and munching on chips. The sounds of them chewing is driving me insane. I just want some peace and quiet. I turn to look up at the stars for a moment, I wish that I was able to remember all those astronomy lessons I took as a child, I was never very good at

I wake up around 4am, the sun has not yet lite up the world, but the wind is howling. I slept in one of the tents last night, Alpha Maxwell and most of the day yesterday moving people into the rooms as they where cleaned out. When I made the lists of the cleaning order for the rooms I put mine last, the rest of the leaders in the pack are right before me. I want the main body of the pack to be housed first before we are. I learned from watching and helping Alpha Maxwell over the last 10 years that this is how a good leader acts, we help the people first, make sure that everyone has what they need and then we take whatever is left over. I change into some clean clothes and leave the tent, I walk into the kitchens looking for coffee. Miss Tilly is already in the kitchen. "What are you doing in here so early?" I ask her. "I am always the first one in the kitchen, it is my job to turn on the oven's and dishwashers, so that they are all warmed up

As the pack starts to wake up I head back to the kitchen so I can talk to Miss Frankie. I know that she will be there making breakfast. "Hey, Miss Frankie... I'm sorry to come get in your way, I just need a few moments of your time." I tell her. "Of course, what can I do for you Queen Annie?" She asks me. "There is a hurricane coming, due to hit in about 24 hours, I have a list here of all the food we have, in every kitchen and cooler and everywhere. What I need from you is a list of what else we need. We have generators here, so we will not loose power, but the stores might, and even if it is only for a few days that means we will not be able to but anything refrigerated for at least a week while we wait for the stores to get deliverys. I am so sorry to drop this on you like this, but I need the list done in 1 hour, I am going to send warriors to the stores in one hour, so please, be ready." I explain to her. "I understand

The next guard shift arrives a few minutes late, the explain that Alpha Maxwell was speaking to them about the upcoming storm, so I let it slide that they were late. I slowly walk down the steps of the wall, and make my way across the grounds to find Annie. I find her in the middle of helping a mother move her 4 children into the castle. They had been staying in one of the large family tent's, we had been trying to move all of the families inside, but it was a slow proccess. As the wind whips throught the castle turrets it causes a loud whistle making the children scream. I chuckle at them as they run past me with their arms full of their bedding. They are helping move their things into the castle, but the winds whistling has caused them to run the wrong way. "Hey there handsome, how was your night?" Annie asks me as she walks up to me with her arms full of tent bags. I take them from her because they are heavy, and I don't like to see her c

I spend all day running around helping the pack get ready for this storm. We move everyone into the dorms we have set up. We move all of the tents and the loose items into the castle as well. I tie down all the bigger item's that we can't take in to the castle, I tie them to the cars, or to the tree's, or to the pillers arround the buildings near the castle. I don't really care about loosing any of these things, most of them can be replaced pretty easiely, but I would be heart broken if one of these items was to fly through the air and kill a child, or a member of my pack. I check on the warriors who are boarding up the windows, thankfully the castle doesn't have any glass over its windows, only the other building within the walls. There are still a lot of windows, but most can be reached from the ground or a small folding ladder. The warriors are making good progress, so I leave them to their work. The castle does have windows, they are just open holes, most o

I turn to Ansel, not sure what to do about this vampire who has tried to kill me multiple times suddenly claiming to give me his alegence. *Give him an order, say a few orders out loud, but only put your authority into one, maybe that will help us know if he is lying..?* Ansel tells me through the mind link. I nod, then I turn to this vampire king to give my orders "Stand on your feet, spin around, tell me your name, touch your nose" Only a werewolf, vampire, witch, or other person magicly bound to me would be able to tell which one of these orders was the one with power behind it. But, as I speak the vampire does rise to his feet, he is slow to follow my second command, I can see he is thinking it through. The moment I give the order for him to tell me his name he follows the order without hesitation. "I am Samuel Keith Singer, King of the Vampires." He tells us. Before I can say anything else Ri'elle rushes out into the hall, he takes in the scene around him, his fingers are twi

Many in the pack are against the idea of a pack member adopting a child who is not a werewolf. They do not say so directly to me, but I can feel the stare's as I walk around with Nicky trailing behind me. I think that if I was anyone else besides the queen they would be much more vocal about their disapproval, or maybe it is because they can sense that Nicky is not human, so they figure he will not pose as much of a threat to the pack that a normal human would. Either way, I have decided to address the pack at dinner tonight. I want everyone to know that Nicky saved my life, but I also need them to know that he is MY child, and if anyone tries to hurt him they will have to go through me. Once everyone has taken their seats I call them to attention and introduce Nicky to the pack as my child. Ansel stands to his feet and addresses the pack. "He is OUR child. I know that a lot of you are going to find this odd... adopting a child from outside the pack is... uncommon to say the lea

I quickly untie the ropes from my legs, but I stay where I am on the ground, knowing my legs will be to shaky to hold me up. My Ansel suddenly apears, jumping over the limo, taking the vampire king down to the ground in one move. Then he takes the kings head off in one bite. The rest of my warriors are here now, fighting vampires on all sides. I watch in horror as one of my warriors move in, to attack Nixie, I jump to my feet and place myself inbetween Nixie and the warriors. The warriors stop dead in their tracks, tilting their wolfish heads at me, tying to understand why I am stopping them from saving me. "No, he is with me... He saved me... He is just a baby..." I pant out. The warriors nod and turn back to the vampires to finish killing the last of them. Nixie trasforms again, this time he is a pure white horse. He walks over to me and nudges his head under my arm, helping me stay on my feet. With Nixie's help I climb onto his back, and I ride on his

Over the next two days the whole pack pulls together to help the towns around us. We work our way down the street from the pack castle into the town, once we reach the edge of town each house that we pass we check for people in need of help. There was a lot of flooding in this area so we make is a point to check every house for the injured or trapped people. Most people evacuated the area before the storm hit, so many of the houses are empty, but we search them all anyways. This storm was predected to be more on the mild side, so people expected to be gone from their homes for only a few days, because the roads are not passable people can not return. We find some pets in houses alone, when we find a pet in an empty house we leave a note with a phone number and we take the pet back to the castle to be fed and taken care of until their families return. I want to lead the pack as we clear the roads, but the warriors of the pack insist on keeping me surrounde

It takes the whole pack working together for three days to get the whole castle and grounds cleaned up. Thanks to the warriors and other pack members who boarded them up, most of the windows are fine. But a lot of trees came down, and a few of them landed on some of the buildings on the grounds. The larger brick buildings are largely okay, a couple of them need new roofs put in. It is the smaller wooden buildings that took the most damage, a couple of them will need to be completely demolished, and a few others will need some major renovations to be usable again. I spend my days cutting the fallen trees into logs, so they can be moved out of the way of the rest of the clean up efforts. Once that is done I split the logs into fire wood. My back and shoulders are killing me after a two whole days of splitting and stacking logs. Ansel spends his days loading our dump trucks with pieces of the broken buildings, the warriors dump the debry from the trucks in one big

I know that I already agreed to help Ri'elle with his spell, and I will, but the thing is... After the regular spell work part of it...Ri'elle says in order to seal the magic I need to kiss Ansel. I have never done a spell that requires love kiss in order to seal the magic, but he says that this spell needs it. I know he would not lie to me, and I will do the magic he needs me to, the thing is that I think this spell maybe too advanced for me. I wish that Ri'elle was well enough to work the spell himself. Ansel walks with me in silence to our room, I am thankful that he lets me walk without talking because I need the time to sort out my feelings about this spell, and also to work up the courage to try this spell since I am not a full witch and my not have enough experience to work this spell.Once we make it to our room I ask Ansel to sit on the bed quietly so I can make myself ready for the spell. I change into a pure white dress, then I cleanse the space by burning sage. I finish s

"Micheal, thank you for meeting me here. I didn't want to leave her alone while she is still asleep...Something strange happened last night, and it wasn't the first time... There is something wrong with her..." I tell him in a low voice. "Okay, slow down and start from the beginning." Micheal tells me. "Okay, well... You know when we marked each other, tight?' I ask him, he nods and I go on. "Well, then on the first night we stayed in this room she made a big deal out of having sex, like it was the first time. And then she marked me again, and she had the same reactions to the marking as the first time." I tell him, then I pause and take a deep breath, I hate that I have to talk to Micheal about our sex life. "Okay, but that was 2 nights ago, so what happened last night that made you call me here so early in the morning..?" Micheal asks me. "She did the same thing, she initiated sex and then acted like it was the first time again. At

I follow Micheal as he takes me on a tour of the worst of the wounded. There are only a few people who got hurt badly enough to need to see a doctor, a few warriors where on the stairs when they passed out and as a result they fell down the stairs. One older man fell onto his tool box giving himself a concusion, and a few other fell in similar way. There is a total of 8 broken bone's and 3 concusions. Plus the 5 mothers who went into labor as a result of the stress from passing out the way they did. There was a total of 544 pack memebers effected by the spell, and only 18 people where hurt or effected badly enough to need to seek medical attention right away. The other 526 people have been givin the order to report to the hospital wing within the next 2 days, refusal to do so will result in punishment. I hate the idea of threatening the pack members, but this is how things are done, and everyone knows that I hate doing it, so they know to really listen when I do make t

I rush to the west tower, I have a bad feeling that something went wrong on Ri'elle's end. I race up the stairs and burst into the room, I find Ri'elle in the center of the room, spiritual energy fills the room, he is covered in his own blood, it looks as though the spirits are trying to rip him apart limb from limb. I know that if I siply rush to him the connection will be broken and his spell will backfire onto him completely. Right now I am thinking that maybe the spirits simply do not like the offering that he used. I skirt around the edges of the room, being carefull not to touch any of the silks. I make my way over to the rabbits in their cages, I reach in and take out one, I slit its throa and coat myself in its blood, saying a quick cleansing ritual as I do. Then I take a few cautious steps towards Ri'elle, then the door bursts open again and I see Ansel with some warriors right behind him. "STOP!" I order. "Leave, go check on the pack, if you touch any
