It’s Cammy that responds. “We were wondering, Luna, if you happened to ask if omegas were welcome at the pack gathering.”
“Oh yes. I did, and as I said, everyone is welcome. Luna Angel was quite excited to have more attendees, so you need not worry.” I say and while I expect that to cause them to relax, it doesn’t.
“Is there something else?” I ask.
“Well, it’s just, it’s just that….” Cammy begins, stammering her response.
“We’re all terrified to go to another pack without one of the ranked members there.” Summer finishes for her and I look around to see everyone nodding their heads.
“You’re afraid they might mistreat you, or worse, not let you leave?” Eli asks, coming up behind me.
Again, everyone nods their heads. I look at Eli before turning back.
“Well, we can’t have that. I guess I’ll be accompanying you to the pack gathering next weekend.” The change in their demeanor is instant and their happiness at being able to possibly find their mates finally becomes apparent.
Over the next week, Joel and Peyton, the parents in the hospital recover slowly. Joel ended up losing his leg, but Peyton was able to keep her eye. She’ll always have scars on her face, but they will fade. Peyton and her children were able to move to the packhouse by the end of the week. As houses are being completed, we have more rooms available.
Peyton had worked in the kitchens as the person responsible for smoking and curing meat in her previous pack. Eli immediately found out what she needed to set up a smoke house for smoking and curing meat. This way, we can send out pack members to hunt for food more often and we will have a way to store it
1/2 other than filling the freezers.
The news spread that I would be going to Shadow Falls for the mate gathering. and 30 omegas agreed to go, bringing our numbers to 80 for the gathering. Angel was thrilled that we would have more people coming and that I would be joining them. She suggested we take the time to practice boosting our gifts.
Eli stayed behind to continue helping with the rebuilding effort while I led our pack to Shadow Falls. It was my first time in their pack, and I loved it. The falls are beautiful and the view from the top is amazing.
I count our first mate gathering a success as 26 pairs, or 52 wolves found their mates. Fifteen of those wolves are omegas from our pack. Of the remaining eleven, six are warriors and the other five are workers, one is a worker in the garden. She is mated to a warrior in the Canyon Ridge pack and has decided to move their where she and Maddison can begin building a garden for their new pack. Surprisingly, the warriors chose to stay in our pack, having the opportunity to build their own home and create a new life for themselves and their families. Thankfully, their mates agreed.
Not surprisingly, the omegas are reluctant to leave our pack. That was not a problem for most of them, but there were five that are mated to warriors who have achieved some status in their pack and want to stay there. In addition, most of our pack’s workers are mated to warriors and the same issue applies.
Rik, Cara, Liam, Angel, Eli and I have a meeting and we agree that the newly found mates can spend a week together in each pack before making a final decision.
I insist that the newly mated pairs hear from both Alpha Rik and Alpha Liam that they will not be forced to stay in the pack if they choose not to stay. I also remind them that Eli and I will be going back to Canyon Ridge in a week, and we will bring them back to our pack with us at that time, if they choose to return with us. That settles their concerns, and they agree to spend the first week in their mates packs.
Grace returned from the pack gathering with an additional 16 pack members. Six of those are warriors and the other ten are omegas. Carlos finds a place for the warriors and begins training them, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. It’s an adjustment for them at first, our pack being so young and needing so much work. But eventually, they appreciate being needed and begin to enjoy building a life with their mate literally from the ground up.
Grace easily found places for the omegas, especially as our pack is growing. They were excited to be able to build their own houses and if they have a skill, they have the ability to expand that into a business if they choose.
The ten pack members that went to spend time with their mates chose to stay in those packs. Once they realized that Rik, Cara, Liam and Angel are good leaders, they were more comfortable staying. It helps that they were evenly divided between the packs and therefore have some friendly faces around them.
Over the next month, we continue to build. Once Joel left the hospital, Perry and Sirona were able to get the building finished and Sirona is working on the final touches. She now has two more individuals we acquired through the mate gathering that have requested to learn medicine. She’s got them working to help her build out the rest of the hospital while they are in school.
With the continued housing development, more and more space has opened up in the packhouse, so Perry assigned some members of his team to look over the first-floor rooms, previously assigned to omegas to begin development of a nursery and a children’s home for those children who have lost their parents. In addition, he assigned some members to begin development of the main street. shops, starting with the open-air market.
We quickly realized that 30 egg-laying hens would not be sufficient, so Grace has purchased another 150 hens. She also got a rooster this time and the hens who will produce baby chickens were separated from the egg-laying hens. This way, we can ensure that the rooster only fertilizes the eggs that are meant to develop.
After the first group of mates found each other, we had a ceremony initiating them into our pack along with the new members that came to us for sanctuary. As more and more people come to our borders, Grace and I decided to have a monthly ceremony, at least for now.
Our next trip to Canyon Ridge allowed Grace to really showcase her strengths and that she and Maia could share that power with her Guardian sisters. Their ability to boost each other’s power is getting stronger. Grace is careful not to pull too much from Cara and Angel, so she doesn’t impact their pregnancies. But I wonder what will happen after they have their babies. It will be interesting to see how her strength impacts her ability to draw on theirs.
Grace and I had been practicing with Maia pushing her power to Louis. And, while we were in Canyon Ridge, I tried to mind link Carlos again. This time, I was able to do it. We then reached out to find the patrols and while they were even farther away, I was able to reach them.
While we were in Canyon Ridge, Grace checked on our previous pack members. and found them flourishing. She suggested that some of them come to the next mate gathering to share their experiences with those that may find their mates, so they know it is safe to move to another pack if they choose.
Two weeks after that, we again arrived at Canyon Ridge to train. However, baby Lily had other ideas. Cara’s delivery was difficult, and it was good that we were there. Angel was able to provide her healing to both Cara and baby Lily and afterward, Grace had Angel pull from her strength to regain her own.
Grace and I had talked about the strange connection between the fae royalty and the Guardians. But, as it turns out, Aolis recognized Lily as his mate, which explains his odd draw to Cara. He seems too young to recognize his mate, but it’s obviously different for the fae than it is for wolves. Angel explained that Ailduin was mated to a Guardian nearly a century ago, but his mate was taken from him. So, it’s not surprising that Aolis is mated to the daughter of a Guardian.
The sadness that Cara had before having Lily seems to evaporate when she holds her daughter in her arms. I think Rik is just relieved that he didn’t lose his mate or daughter during the delivery. I’m not sure what happened with Aolis, Angel and Liam wouldn’t say, but he had some involvement in helping with the delivery process as well. We were with Ailduin when Aolis returned from the hospital. They had a strange mental communication between them, and they left soon afterward.
We’re about a month away from the Tournament of the Moon Goddess. I’ve chosen the first 10 individuals who will participate. Grace and I will be involved as the strongest members of the pack. Carlos, even though he doesn’t have a wolf, is very strong and wants to participate. I’m still assessing Amber, but she is showing her strength and is a contender to participate as well. Several other warriors have shown themselves to stand out and are in the top 10, including one of Rik’s previous pack members. He is looking forward to showing up his friends in his previous pack. Noah wanted to participate, but Sirona told him she would need to stay behind to finish the hospital and to be available in case any other people came to ouf pack needing medical attention. So, he will stay behind and run the pack while we are away.
Liam and Angel had agreed to have two mate gatherings and the second was scheduled a week before Angel was due to deliver. An additional 25 mate pairs. found each other, and we reshuffled the packs again. Grace and I have agreed to host the next mate gathering after the Tournament of the Moon Goddess. As our pack is coming together, we will be proud to have others come to see what we have accomplished.
As I’m finishing up some pack paperwork and about to go looking for my mate, I get a mind link.
“Alpha. We have some…..creatures at the border. They are asking to see Luna Grace.” Carlos says.
“They specifically asked to see Grace, not me?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“We’ll be right there.”
I turn the corner and see my mate is looking for me. “Did you hear that?”
“Yes. Let’s go see who wants to speak with me.” She says as we take off at a jog to where our visitors are waiting.
As Eli and I head to the border, I have an idea of what this is. Over the past couple of months, both Cara and Angel have had, mostly vampires but other supernaturals as well, come to pledge their allegiance to the Guardians of the Realm, as they call us. Word of Angel’s imprisonment and the Guardian’s defeat of the vampires has spread quickly.
However, when we arrive, I instantly understand why Carlos called them’ creatures’. I have no idea what these little fairy looking supes are. There are five of them and they are flying around with their little wings. They can’t be more than about a foot tall, if that. They are shining and look like they are lit from within. They have strange, flowing gown-like clothes that look like they were made from plant leaves. Their hair and bodies seem almost opaque, and probably would be if not for the bizarre light shining from them.
“Oh, I knew she’d be more beautiful up close.” One of the two males says in a stage whisper, looking at me.
“Oh, and he is so much bigger this close, isn’t he?” The woman next to him says, as if we can’t hear them speaking about me and Eli.
“Have I mentioned how much I like wolves. They’re very…wild.” The other male. says reverently.
I can’t tell if they are speaking to each other, or if they are speaking out loud to themselves. Their voices remind me of a human movie I watched one time where these little people called munchkins lived in Munchkinland. Their voices were higher pitched than a human and these little creatures sound very similar.
Eli and I step up next to Carlos. “Hello, I’m Alpha Eli and this is my mate, Luna Grace. You’ve already met my Beta, Carlos.” Eli introduces us.
“Sir Alpha Eli.” One of the males says and gives quite a grand bow for someone with wings on his back. “My name is Funichio and this is my sister, Fanella. This is Draiden and the twins are Leilani and Lolana.”
