He looks at me and shrugs again. “As I said, I didn’t want the position.”
–
“But now you want to be Alpha?” I question. A Beta position is a lot of work, but an Alpha position is even harder if it’s done right.
“I want this pack to thrive. And no offense to you Beta, but with no leader that has a wolf, I’ve felt that the pack has been lacking a true leader. Too many people are depending on this pack’s survival, too many need this to survive themselves. I don’t believe that everyone that wants the Alpha position deserves it, so I decided to throw my hand in as well.”
“Caring about your pack members is another great quality for a ranked member, Noah. You seem to have many qualities that make you a good candidate for Alpha.”
“Thank you, I appreciate that.” He says as we arrive at the back of the packhouse.
We drop the carcasses at the door and I step inside to let Grace know we have food. Carlos and Noah follow me and all three of us groan at the smells coming from the kitchen. It smells divine.
“Grace.” I call out to her as we walk to the kitchen. I watch as she comes around the side of the kitchen, looking perfectly mussed. She’s been working while we were gone. Her hair is in disarray and she has something smudged on her cheek. My need to touch her overwhelms me and I move to her, taking her in my arms.
She takes a whiff. “Phew, you smell like the hunt and death. Does this mean we have more meat?”
“You smell like bleach and fabric softener, so I guess we’re even.” I tell her, stealing another kiss.
“And yes, we caught three bucks, several rabbits and a few turkeys.” I tell her, watching as her eyes light up.
She turns, stepping out of my grasp and claps her hands. The chatter in the kitchen immediately silences.
“Who here knows how to skin and strip a deer carcass?” She asks the room at large. Five hands go up.
“You five, you’re on deer duty.” She turns, looking at Carlos and Noah. “Where are the carcasses usually prepped?”
“I’ll show them.” Carlos says and motions to the five individuals that will begin working on the deer meat.
“Anyone know how to strip a rabbit or turkey?” She asks again and a few more hands go up.
She turns to Noah. “Where can we clean the smaller animals?”
“I know where we can do it, Luna.” One of the
One of the omegas says to her.
“Okay Jesse, you lead the way. Make sure to take whatever knives you will need. When you’re done, bring the meat back here and we’ll figure out how to store it.” She says.
“Oh and, bring the turkey carcasses back with you. I can use them to make a turkey soup.” Cammy, one of the girls from this morning says.
“You heard her, we’ll take the turkey carcasses too.”
A chorus of “Yes Luna” follows as they rush to begin their work.
Then my mate turns on me. “You!” She says pointing at me. My smile drops.. Me?” I ask, not sure what she’s about to say.
“And you.” She points to Noah. “What’s your name?”
I see Noah trying hard not to smile at my mate in all her Alpha glory. Luna.”
“Noah,
“Noah, you and Eli need to hit the showers. You both smell and are stinking up my kitchen. Off you both go. Dinner will be ready in about an hour and a half and we’ll be serving at the tables. Spread the word.”
“Yes Luna” He says, before grinning at her and turning on his heel. I’m right behind him, but I stop and grab Grace from behind, pulling her into my chest.
“You are sexy as fuck when you are in charge like this.” I whisper in her ear. I immediately smell her arousal and feel her push her backside against me. She turns and looks at m? over her shoulder. “You can show me just how much you like it tonight…..Alpha.”
I growl low and deep in my chest, letting it reverberate through both of us. “Oh I
2/3 definitely will little mate.”
With that, I join Noah as we begin to head to the stairs in the front of the packhouse. “She is an excellent Luna.” He says.
“That she is.”
Grace is definitely in charge!
After Eli and Carlos went hunting, I turned to Maddie who had just returned from the garden. “Can you begin to make a list of items we need to stock the pantry. Eli and Carlos are going back out for meat, but I know we’re lacking in condiments and I’m sure many other things.”
“Of course, Luna. Happy to help.”
I begin to interview the new omegas that are streaming into the kitchen. Those that had no cooking experience but have some cleaning experience are now joining us to get assignments in the packhouse.
I start with kitchen and dining room clean up, adding the community bathrooms on this floor to the list. I find someone that was a Lead Omega in her previous pack and set her up with a helper to go room by room in the packhouse to find out how many people are in each room and what supplies they need and cleaning rounds they would like.
As with the pantry, the linens and towel supply are dreadfully low. We’ll have to set up a rotation of washing linens and towels so that we don’t run out. I assign another person to begin working on what that rotation will look like. Then we get started on making sure that all the currently unused towels and linens are clean, as many are just in a pile on the floor.
I have Maddie add cleaning supplies to our list of needed items. We’re making good progress and I’m a sweaty but happy mess when Eli, Carlos and another man I don’t recognize come back from their hunt.
Once I get the assignments made for cleaning the fresh animals brought in and take a moment to tease my mate, I send him on his way.
I pull Cammy and another omega with extensive, but different cooking experience over and begin talking about the meals we can cook with the meat that we have. We come up with meal plans for the next week and I ensure that the amount of meat that will be fed to the pack members will increase. We have Maddie add the missing ingredients to her list as we go.
“Luna, if I may,” Autumn, the omega with cooking experience says. Her sister, Summer, is the Lead Omega I sent to inventory the rooms. They are from the same pack and ran together to escape.
“We could get egg-laying hens and build a coop near the packhouse. The women that look after the garden could look after the hens and young pups always like to collect eggs. If we get them at various ages, then we’d have a consistent flow of egg layers. And if we decided that we had enough eggs at any point, we could always let the chicks grow and have more of our own egg layers or decide we want some as meat. It would be another way that we could be self-sufficient.”
“Excellent idea.” I have Maddie make a note to research this. Without a computer, it may be difficult unless there are some local hen sellers.
As dinner time gets closer, I have the omegas begin plating food, while others set the tables for dinner. As we are about done, a couple of women come in carrying small baskets of flowers.
