Chapter 0419

When Grace goes to check on the packhouse, I grab hold of my patience and head to the border. When I get there, I can see that there are a bunch of sprites racing beside the patrols as they run the borders. I can’t tell if they’re playing or trying to help.

I walk up to the border. “Funichio? Fanella?” I call. I have no idea how to get their attention, but based on everything I’ve learned about them, their fascination with us would keep them close to

our borders.

“Sir Alpha Eli!” They exclaim excitedly as they rush over to where I am.

“Good morning. I wanted to speak with you about some disturbing things that have happened and ask for your assistance.”

After filling them in about the hunters and getting their very enthusiastic agreement to meet with one of the ranked members every day to give us an update on any strange sightings. I head back to the packhouse.

When I get back, I have the contract for the land from the elders. I call Carlos over and look at the land lines to make sure it meets the criteria we need to build with the addition of Edgar Winter’s pack. By the time we have reviewed the land and identified areas where we can build homes, it’s afternoon and getting close to the time of the pack meeting.

I head upstairs and find Grace getting ready as well. I walk over, taking her in my arms and kissing her briefly before heading to our closet. “How was your day?”

She tells me about her concern for Tula and wanting to speak to Ailduin. “You need to continue your training with him and your Guardian sisters. As much as you were able to do the other day, it took a toll on all three of you. If, or when, they come back, I don’t want it to drain you like that. Why don’t we have him to come here next time. That way he can see Tula and you can get some training in.”

“I’ll call him first thing in the morning. How about you? Are you ready for this pack meeting? There’s a lot to tell our people.”

“I’m ready. Our pack is resilient and flexible. I’m not too worried about how they will respond to taking on your father’s pack. I’m more concerned about the hunters. I did speak to Funichio and Fanella. They will watch the forest and report daily to us.”

As Grace and I walk out back to get on the stage that has been set up for our pack meeting. I can smell the food cooking in the kitchen. “Something smells delicious.”

+15 BONOS

“Cammy is amazing. She’s doing a great job.”

As we walk outside, we can see that the mood is calm, relaxed. Our pack members are talking

and laughing with each other. I take Grace’s hand and we move to the stage.

“I

“Good afternoon, everyone.” I say to get their attention.

I receive a chorus of “Good afternoon, Alpha” in return.

“We have much to discuss this afternoon. Some very good things and some not so good things. Afterward, our kitchen staff have put together a fantastic smelling dinner, so please plan to stay and have dinner in the dining hall.”

“First, as you know, 20 of us went to compete in the Tournament of the Moon Goddess. While we do not have the final rankings, I am please to announce that Safe Haven Pack placed in the top three.” Cheering and howling followed this announcement.

I gesture to Carlos. “Your own Beta, Carlos, took first place in the Beta competition.” More cheering, howling and this time, back thumping of Carlos.

“In addition, Warrior Ezra won on the warrior day against over 3300 warriors who participated. from all over the nation. Because of this, he has been named our Lead Warrior.” The back thumping shifts to Ezra along with more cheering and howling.
