Thank you for continuing to read Gals and Pals. Please leave me a comment or a gem if you're inclined. -A :)
Baylor POV It shook me to my core when I learned that most wolves don’t survive when they lose their mate. I had given up on the battlefield and if it hadn’t been for Uncle Mike and Phoebe, Delania would most likely have died as well. That would have been another person who had died for me senselessly. So I have increased my training so that hopefully I am never in that position again. As for Alpha Colin himself, he has moved to the city to live above The Howling Shamrock Dublin and will continue to manage my finances until I am of age to do so myself. He said that even with the bond severed it was difficult to face pack life. His son came once he received the message we had sent to him through Agatha. He asked that we wake him and give him the choice of surviving or following after Luna Freya in death. He chose to live and it took half of the Crone’s coven to completely sever the bond and remove Luna Freya’s mark. These were some of the most powerful witches in Ireland and it prov
Baylor POV six months later “Would you quit staring at her already? I am sure that even the Queen of the Weebles is gonna kick your ass, if you don’t quit staring at her Kenneth,” I teased trying to push Kenneth out the front door of the packhouse. “Kenneth is P.W.’ed bad,” Mitchum taunted. “P. W.” Marlon and Connie parroted from their play pen. “I'm sure I don’t want to know what that means. And I definitely don’t want the pups repeating it,” Siobhan growled as she came into the common room. “What? You didn’t yell at Baylor for saying A S S, but I say P.W.’ed and I’m in trouble,” Mitchum sulked. “They didn’t repeat after their Alpha. They repeated after their Uncle Mitchum,” Siobhan scolded as she gave the pups each a carrot stick. “I was just saying that Beta Kenneth is Phoebe Whipped. Geesh, accidentally teach the pups the F Bomb and I am in the dog house for life,” Mitchum whined. “Come on dude. We all know what the real meaning is and no, Siobhan doesn’t want to know
Baylor POV“Come on Baylor, those dishes aren’t going to do themselves” Kenneth shouted from the grill area. I can tell you, I fucking loathe doing dishes. But I digress, when you’re 15 and not technically of legal age to work, eleven dollars an hour doing dishes isn’t the worst I could be doing. “Listen big guy, I am going as fast as I can, it’s Mother’s Day and this dive is packed” I shouted back. Kenneth is my best friend and has been as far back as I can remember. We lived in Monroeville together and managed to escape from there two years ago and have never looked back. Monroeville is an orphanage in Boston that I had lived in since I was two when my parents died in a car crash. Apparently when they died and United States authorities tried to contact any relatives back in Ireland, there was no record of Connor or Sophie Dunne ever existing. Well, I exist so that means they did too. Anyway, once we escaped Monroeville, we set out across the U.S. and landed in Silverthorne, Colorad
Clive POV“Agatha, can we try that location spell? Alpha Heir Baylor is sixteen, if he is still alive and should be getting his wolf today,” I plead. I truly hope he is still alive, he is the only hope for the Skatom Mochain Pack. “Clive, do you really want to go through this disappointment again?” The crone, Agatha chided. I stopped pacing and turned to face the crone, “Agatha, I am telling you that Alpha Heir Baylor is out there somewhere. I felt it when Alpha Connor and Luna Sophie died, but I am nearly certain, I never felt Alpha Heir Baylor’s tether snap.” If we can locate Alpha Heir Baylor our pack will be able to come together again instead of living as a group of transients. We had no choice but to live practically in the shadows, thanks to Cillian Branagh and his rogues. He murdered every high ranked wolf when he caught wind of Alpha and Luna’s deaths. The pack was in such heavy mourning that we were caught unaware. “Very well Clive, I will do the spell. But you do realize
Baylor POVI wandered around town most of the morning, hoping that the commentary in my head would stop. No such luck though, this Shammus as the voice calls itself, talks too damn much. “Ok listen, I can’t believe I am trying to reason with the voice in my head, but can you please just shut up for a while?” I asked, getting frustrated. “Fine dummy! I am not just a voice in your head, I am your wolf. The sooner you realize this, the easier it will be for both of us.” I climbed the back stairs towards the apartment, I just needed to get a shower for work. I walked through the door and Kenneth said, “Where did you go this morning?” I just shrugged my shoulders and said, “I just went for a walk to clear my head. I don’t know, but I think that the weed from last night was off. Messed with my head big time.” Kenneth replied, “Sorry man, maybe it was different than you’re used to. Not like you smoke much anyway.” I just walked off to get in the shower. Right now my hallucination is quiet,
Baylor POVThe next morning when I woke, Kenneth was sitting on the couch and I could hear that Mitchum was showering. Kenneth looked deep in thought so I asked, “Hey man, are you ok?” He nodded in response. “Yeah dude, I was just trying to think of a logical explanation of why these guys wanted to talk to you.” His brow was furrowed and I could tell that he was definitely concerned. Then he spoke again, “You know if for some reason the authorities have caught on to who we are, they can force you back to Monroeville since you’re only 16. Mitchum will be 18 in three months so it would be pointless for them to drag him back, and I have been 18 since January so they can’t take me.” I slung an arm over his shoulder and said, “Fuck that man, I am going nowhere near that place ever again. Besides, if it was that, don't you think they would have just taken me right then and there?” His mood seemed to lighten a bit and he said, “I guess, I didn’t think of that.” I patted his shoulder and sai
Baylor POVWhen we walked through the door of the conference room ’Shammus’ started chanting again as the staring guy came forward with his hand extended to shake mine. “Baylor, good to see you. I am Clive Kelly and this is Phineas Brody my best friend as you would say. The other fellows here are Fergus, Aidin, and Arthur,” Clive said as introductions. “This is Kenneth Goldberg and Mitchum Averman, my best friends.” Clive began to speak, “Right well, Kenneth and Mitchum can….” but Phineas cut him off, “It isn’t going to be necessary, these are the other two I could smell yesterday.” Clive gave him a curious look and said, “I truly can’t smell them are you sure?” Phineas nodded and said, “Yes, I told you something smelled off. It is like they are bound.” Mitchum pipes in, “Listen we just showered this morning and none of us stink. So, I don’t know what you’re smelling that’s off, but it isn’t us.” Clive chuckled and said, “Oh dear, this just became more complex. Well come on let’s ev
Baylor POVWe pulled up in front of the apartment and I began to feel gleefully anxious. I was getting my life long dream to make it to Ireland and my whole life was changing. As the fellas and I got out of the car I turned back and said, “Thank you Fergus.” He gave a salute and said, “The pleasure is mine, Alpha Baylor.” When we walked into the apartment, the place where my 2 best friends and I have lived for the past couple years, it hit me. “Guys we are moving to Ireland, I can’t think of anyone else I would rather have with me than the two of you,” I said becoming more excited. “I can’t believe I am a werewolf and never knew it,” Kenneth replied. I was glad Kenneth was excited like I am even if Mitchum was still skeptical. “Listen, I don’t know if I believe all of this crap. But I am not going to let you dorks go have fun without me,'' Mitchum taunted. “You’ll see when we get there” Kenneth stated. I just shook my head and started taking clothes off of hangers and folding them wh
