Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Planning the Next Steps
Jane Ann looked at the email from Becky. “Okay, we have our hands full, Jon. Come look at this. I think we need to call in the troops. Becky’s gone full Luna on us. Who would have thought a human could measure up? Jane Ann was human, but she meant it as a joke. A poke at Jon for not listening to her about how Becky was good enough for Rob. “Great, we’re tour guides and teacher’s now? What are they thinking?” “We’re here. We have the space. They know we exist. It would help the human community to not fear us because we won’t be an unknown. They know us and initially it will be a shock that some of us have an alter ego that’s a little furry. But we have many locals here in the know already, like my family. Think about it. We can get some of them involved to tell what they know and why they trust us. Here in pack territory we can explain how pack structure works, the rules about little things. How many business owners do you think will be worried about
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Time Well Spent
“Do you really believe we should hide in your apartments while everyone gets ready for a practical invasion of judgemental humans?” “Well, you aren’t nice to your own species, Becky.” Rob laughed as he settled down on a chair with her in his lap. “I’m serious Rob. I know how mean and unforgiving some humans can be. The judge people, situations, and things very harshly. The average human sums up a stranger within the first fifteen seconds of knowing them. Fifteen seconds. That’s not a very long time. I’ve been on the wrong end of being judged several times in my life, and it was horrible.” “I’ll take it under advisement. But we don’t have anyone that worked on nullifying the lab working no preparing for the visit. You don’t need to worry. We will be nice to them but careful as well so that they won’t take advantage of us. The pack is not full of gullible people. I am confident that Jane Ann and Jon can deal with anything that crops up. But we need to
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Surprise and a Pack for You
A few days later, the first visit of officials to the pack’s lands was arriving. Rob and Becky were helping Jane Ann and Jon with the final preparations. Grace was busy setting up new equipment so that she could start recording broadcasts for various organizations and the internet media sites she maintained.Bart would not make the meeting until later in the afternoon because his Alpha summoned him to a face-to-face meeting in town. He wouldn’t enter Rob’s domain, but he would enter the town. Bart made his way into town and found the Justiciar with his security team animatedly chatting up the waitress at the diner. Bart stood there and watched his usually sober and formal leader laugh and joke with the human female.All he could do was wonder what the world was coming to.“Well, it’s about time you got here, Bart. Come sit. The little lady here says the pie is to die for.” Ian Lucas of the Indigo Dawn Pack sat there at the table chatting up the waitress.
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Plans Coming Together
“Alright, we have our teacher working on a simple overview lesson on our history. She says that it should be ready by morning, and she’ll deliver it to the guests in the morning when it’s time. I have a list of various positions with the pack that most humans wouldn’t be familiar with. This will include a brief job description. It’s so difficult to define a specific duty to one particular position, though.” Jon turned from his laptop and looked over his desk at his mate sitting there with her phone in her hand. He didn’t know how she coped with using such a small screen, but she did. “No, it’s not. You’re just looking at it from the inside and not the outside. Yes, some duties bleed over, but there’s a hierarchy and you need to keep that in mind when you’re writing. If anyone asks why there’s so much bleed through of duties, just explain it’s because of various reasons.” She didn’t even look up as she spoke to him. Her eyes and fingers didn’t stop working. She was ma
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Alpha Hebbs is Here
Bart stopped his vehicle at the front gates of Rob’s territory. Crap. He couldn’t enter now because of the bloody papers on the passenger seat beside him. That and as soon as Rob encountered him, he’d figure out something was different. Sure, Bart carried the alpha blood before, but it wasn’t connected to a pack’s leadership or territory. He could feel the difference already after going through all the formalities. His boss insisted it happen now. He’d not had an option because the Lycan needed stability. Yet they didn’t know whether they were pack orientated. Everyone just assumed they were, because most were wolf shifters before this. He prayed he wasn’t getting in over his head. Heck, he knew he was in over his head. “Hey Bart. What’s up? Your meeting goes well? Oh, wow. I’ll get the Alpha on the line.” The guard at the gate that came to meet him was the same as when he left only three hours ago. A lot had changed since then. He neede
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill There's Always an Interruption
Rob dragged himself from his bed when the alarms went off and his phone blew up with messages. “Now what’s wrong?” Becky sat up on her elbow and looked blurry eyed at Rob. “Are we being attacked again? They accounted for all the Lycan, hadn’t they?” “Yes, but this time it’s not the Lycan. There’s a breach in our southern border. It looks like it’s the rogues Bart came here chasing. “Looks like our afternoon nap will have to become an evening nap. I need to deal with this.” “I guess we’re all going back to the room in the basement?” Becky sighed as she made to get out of the bed. She didn’t look forward to going down there and listening to all the complaints. Sure, she understood now it was her job as Rob’s mate to deal with the complaints, but some of them were just foolish and petty. Becky wasn’t sure what they thought those complaints would achieve at this point. “No, it’s far enough away and there can’t be that many. I just need to be th
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Rogue Cleanup
Rob got a call from Bart and thankfully he’d put Bart’s information into his contact list because right now he wouldn’t have known who it was. “Bart, where are you? I’m a little busy with a rogue breach going on.” “I heard, well, things are a little complicated and I’m stuck outside your territory until you give me permission as one alpha to another.” “What are you talking about? You had permission to come and go as you needed this morning.” “Yeah, but not as an alpha of another pack.” “What pack? Was that what the meeting was about?” “Looks like there are Lycan ready to be released, but they need an alpha. The position was between Jon and me. They figured they didn’t want to break up the two of you since you worked so well together. So I got stuck with it. Before you ask, no, I didn’t get a choice. It’s a rare command from the Ruling Council.” “I’d say congratulations, but we’ll save that for later. Hand the phon
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Entertaining Human Curiosity
Sure enough, the time Rob dreaded was here. The humans were at the gate, and it was as uncomfortable as he expected it to be. Enforcers greeted them at the gate and escorted them in to the packhouse where he and his command staff. Jane Ann and Jon did a great job of getting a variety of pack members involved in taking small groups about showing the humans how they lived, and describing how they worked together as a community. They’d grouped up the different interests of the humans so that they saw exactly what would interest them the most. Like medical professionals visiting the healing centre. Then learning about how they combined science and different types of magic to deal with medical issues. Law enforcement met with enforcers and talked shop while learning about different procedures for dealing with certain types of supernatural crimes and perpetrators. Which led Rob to explain why their jail was so full of young wolves. They’d been br

Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Conclusion
Becky stopped in at the new broadcasting centre in town to have lunch with Grace. Jane Ann was back in the pack, claiming she couldn’t get away because her twins didn’t let them sleep last night. She’d had two males in offspring. Becky still thought it was odd to say that, but they could be lynx, wolf, or human. It was anyone’s guess right now. No one would know for another seven to ten years. Grace sadly lost a pregnancy. The healers claimed it was because she was doing too much, and the stress was too much for her. They would continue trying to have pups once Grace’s schedule settled down and became more manageable. Becky and Rob were still trying after a few false positives. But today was the day they’d first gathered as the mate’s self-help group and explained everything to Grace. How did the pack take the news that their Beta’s mate wasn’t human but a lynx shifter? It was mixed, but nothing like the reaction of the elders who were remo
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Grace's Day
3 Months later- First Lycan Pack The seer entered the new territory and felt the rush of the past and present mingling there. Sadly, she may feel it. She wasn’t strong enough to see it. Thankfully, she couldn’t see it either. The headache she received to some time to get rid of. The land had a lot of traumas associated with it; the druids did their job and tried to wash it away. The issue was that only a god or time could purify a land fully, and no one had time like that to wait. She settled into the seat the pack provided for her as she waited for the time she’d be needed. Many spoke carefully with her, and it was all quite sombre and different from the last one she’d presided over. Someone pushed her right shoulder forward and when she looked behind her, there was no one there. Well, no one with a physical body. She’d told no one that she had a physical connection to the dream realm. She’d encountered no one with this curse? Ability? Whatever people
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Surprise for All
“Jon, wait. Uh, we need to talk. I want to know when we’re breaking the news to everyone. I mean, what’s one more scandal? One more controversial mating fact? I hate sitting here lying to everyone.” Jane Ann held onto Jon’s forearm and looking into his eyes. Her guilt and frustration were written all over her face. Only Jon knew their family’s secret, the reason they were one of the few families that kept the pack’s secrets over the years. Only the alpha’s knew about them, except no one told Rob directly and since Rob didn’t correct anyone about assuming Jane Ann’s species, she’d struggled with telling him. Jon though kept begging her not to say anything to him, because it was all too much at the time. Her big secret? Her mother and she were lynx shifters. One of the few shifters that didn’t have a pack or community. They lived usually in family groupings only. Jane Ann’s father followed her momma here and kept her secret and that of the pack this entire tim
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Becky and Jane Ann's Day
Becky couldn’t believe how quickly the pack pulled off the preparations for the mating ceremonies. Two for the price of one. It seemed this was offending the case where there would be a spree of matings at the same time. She’d been given several reasons for this, but it all came down to people finding the one that fate made perfect for them. The wolf shifters don’t believe that people complete each other. Rather that they complement each other. No one is lesser in a pairing. Where one goes, the other will surely follow. The drive for family and community or pack was a driving force for the wolf shifters Becky was somehow now intertwined with. Rogues were an exception to the rule she found out, and it often harmed them mentally and eventually they would see physically it. That’s why the Ruling Council and Rob were so keen on convincing the young rogues and their pups to settle for the pack life. They didn’t show the signed of the mental of physical decay yet;
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill More Lycan Arrive
Everyone in the First Lycan Pack territory was trying their best to adjust to the changes. Even Bart found he had difficulty adjusting to the new routines. Half his problem, he found, was that he needed to write the routines so he could refer to them again and again. The week went by far too fast. Bart learned quickly that the rules and routines he introduced were a strong suggestion. Those rules and routines right now needed to be written in wet cement rather than be set in stone. Grace’s day was insanely busy with her forced to travel between the packs for her job with the Ruling Council. Once the rest of the pack was here, they’d find people to train for the jobs she’d need help with, and then they’d move everything over to their territory. Rob right now was being nice to them and more than generous to let them use the space they were using. Today, the plan to bring the rest of the pack here was in full swing. There was an excitement in
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Sitdown with the Seer
The seer sat last, and she smiled nervously between her guests. “Now, let me guess. You’re here because you want your lives to go on as the Moon Goddess planned them, but you’re encountering obstacles. Am I right?” She looked expectantly at Rob and Becky as if they had the answer she sought. They looked among themselves to see who would be the first to say anything, but the seer carried on as if there wasn’t an awkward silence. Her friendly voice prattled on as she tried to entertain her guests. “Don’t worry, it wasn’t anything mystical or magical that gave me that information. My phone and messages have been lighting up like a Christmas tree mid season with calls from many people who are angry one way or the other. Heck, one elder called me to find out if I, a seer, could put a curse on you, like I was a mage, druid, or witch. When I told him I couldn’t and wouldn’t he threatened to harm me. You really must get those old wolves under control, Alpha Northgate.”
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Going to the Seer
The next day, Rob took his brother and their mates to see the local seer. She wouldn’t accept membership within his pack, but she didn’t have to. All she needed to do was provide guidance when some came looking for it. They well paid the seer for that. They hoped she wouldn’t respond like the Council of Elders had. If she did, they’d have to delay the mating ceremony until he would repopulate the Council of Elders with a better representation of the pack. This wasn’t something Rod discussed with anyone else. It was a silent worry that nagged on his mind as they travelled the distance to get to the Seer’s small home, which she’d built in a quiet corner of the county district. “How are we going to approach this one? A little more information would go down more nicely this time, because what you did yesterday, Rob, was a shocking revelation, and it doesn’t look good when the people backing you up have to pick up their jaws off the floor. We should k
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Settling in the Command Structure
“Okay, now I have a list of all your names here, and packages with the information you’ll need to know to settle in here. These packages contain everything from what room you’ll have here for now to the house that will be yours. Contact numbers are pre-programmed into the phone inside each package, so when you get your package, don’t drop it. Yes, your new position is within the package, along with a list of your duties. There are several maps, so you can get around here on your own. Your phones have an app that, if you get close to one of the current borders, it will beep. No one is coming to get you if this happens. But if you’re lost, please call. I’ve seen the land out there and it’s a mess. The humans messed with the terrain extensively. So try going for a run in pairs or small groups until you are familiar with the location. Or at least tell someone you’re going and about when you’ll be back. One of the lynx stone masons found a rather steep hillside one evening and wen
Wolf's Den Bar and Grill Miscalculation in a Good Way
Becky and Rob were both pleasantly surprised by the response his speech received from the pack. Rob learned quickly that he’d been wrong. His pack was with him, and not the Council of Elders. He couldn’t believe the support he received with people volunteering to help set up the mating ceremonies for both couples. “Yes, I’ll let everyone know when we have a planning meeting, and we can make all the decisions then.” Rob assured them over and over until he had to stop the crowd forming. “I’d like to thank everyone who’s offering or offered to help right now. I’ll set up a meeting for everyone who’s interested in offering their services or volunteering. We’ll take a few hours and decide, organize who’s doing what. Just set things up so we don’t miss anything, or have too many people doing one thing. We’ll make this a success.” A murmur of approval went through the small crowd of people, and they talked among themselves. “Look, I’ll put a clipboard out tonight in the pac
