Baylor POVAlpha Colin stepped into our room at 5:00 a.m. and turned on the lights bellowing, “Time is wasting lads and it is something we have very little of. Meet me at the training grounds in 30 minutes.” Mitchum groaned, “We don’t even know where that is.” Alpha Colin laughed and said, “Then I suggest you make haste, so that you are there in time. You don’t want to know what happens when you are late.” I rolled off the bed and stumbled to where our suitcases sat on the floor. I opened mine and grabbed a pair of shorts, a muscle shirt with the sides open, and my running shoes. Kenneth had grabbed similar clothing, while Mitchum sat on the side of his bed still sulking. I looked at Mitchum and said, “We are leaving in 5 minutes, with or without you. Get your ass up and get ready!” Kenneth and I made our way to the kitchen to grab water bottles and since we were engrossed in our own conversation, we almost ran into the woman who was bustling around the kitchen preparing to make bre
Baylor POV After dinner I sat down with Alpha Colin again to ask some questions that had come to mind. “How is the pack hierarchy decided and what positions need to be filled?” I asked though I had some idea based on what Clive had told me. “You’ll need a Beta, Gamma, Delta if you choose to have one and a lead warrior. Your Beta should be the person you trust most, not only with your own life but the lives and well being of your pack. The person you know would lead your pack to continue to survive in your absence,” Alpha Colin stated. “Was my father’s Beta Neil untrustworthy? My pack survived only because you and the other Alphas that my father was aligned with provided asylum to my people,” I asked because the truth was, it should have been Neil that took over. “No absolutely not, Neil was one of the most noble men I have ever known. Cillian would never have been able to do the damage he did if the pack hadn’t been grieving so deeply. You and your parents were loved and respected b
Baylor POV As I came down the stairs and entered the lounge area, I noticed Phoebe carrying a large platter of burgers towards the front door. “Hey there Phoebe, can I give you a hand with that?” “If you could hold open the door Alpha, I would be very grateful.” “What is all this for anyway? Aren’t you coming to the shift and pack run?” “Aye, Alpha I am. But I am after setting everything up so that the elders who usually don’t participate can start the food on the grill.” “Oh, ok. Is this something that happens with every pack run?” “Yea, shifting takes a lot of energy and well, running does too.” “Ok Phoebe, just make sure you make it out to the training grounds so you can enjoy yourself. It hasn’t gone unnoticed how much you do for the pack every day all day and you deserve to cut loose with the rest of us, probably more so.” “Don’t worry about me Alpha, I wouldn’t miss it. I have me eye on a gent and would like to see if the Moon Goddess has decided to send me my fated.” I smil
Kenneth POV In my periphery I see Clive approaching fast and but I am staring at Phoebe as she reaches a hand forward to touch my arm. The little electrical tingles startle me, “What the fuck was that?” Phoebe looks like she might cry and I don’t want her to cry and Clive puts his hand on my arm. “Kenneth, are you okay, tell me what’s going on?” “Well, we just came back from the run and I was shifting back and I smelled peanut butter cups and fresh rain and I saw Phoebe. As I started walking towards her, the scent intensified. But then she stopped in front of me and said ‘mate’ and then she zapped my arm.” I can honestly say I have never seen a man laugh quite as hard as Clive did in that moment. He turned his head towards Phoebe and said, “Well little sister, it seems the reason you hadn’t found your mate was he’s a bit younger and an American until recently. Kenneth, my apologies, I didn’t even think to tell you fellows that you could possibly find your fated mates tonight.” As
Unknown POV Well look at here, they’ve found the little bastard heir and brought him home. I was sure that he had died in the crash with his parents. I did after all pay a great deal of money to ensure there were no survivors. When I received word that the task was complete, I made my move to make Skatom Mochain mine. It seems I have a refund to collect for the incomplete job. Oh, and they will pay with more than money, they will pay with blood! Skatom Mochain never even saw me coming until it was far too late. Beta Neil, his mate Adele and their son Clifford were the first that I killed. Then I moved onto Gamma Richard’s pregnant mate Ashley, I almost considered drawing that one out with a bit of extra fun but knew that I had to move swiftly, knowing that it wouldn’t take long for Gamma Richard or the Elite pack warriors to discover that the beta family had been murdered. With the hierarchy out of the way, my army of rogues and I began taking out warriors and skilled fighters swif
Baylor Pov I am not sure if I even understood what real training would look like once I was able to shift. Prior to shifting what we did would be considered basic conditioning or calisthenics. What we were doing now was more like a mix of army boot camp mixed with an underground fight club. I had every surface of my body punched or kicked today and had no idea how I would manage to do this every single day. Clive told me that we had something called wolf healing that would have me good as new before we even finished with lunch. That’s where I am headed now, the pack house for lunch, praying that my tired sore legs will carry me there without falling down. Where I open the door I am hit with the most amazing smells, “Smells like my girl has been cooking her ass off again,” Kenneth boasted while patting his stomach. He is right Phoebe is an amazing cook, everything she makes smells and tastes amazing. Phoebe came into the dining room wheeling a cart with an enormous pot and bowls on
Mitchum POV So, I have accepted this whole werewolf thing. It’s kind of cool really. It’s nothing like in the movies, although I would like to shift on the run like I saw the one character do in that movie based on a good book series. That would be pretty dope if I could do that, though I would have to replace my clothes often. I guess I will have to think about that some time. Anyway I was saying, I accept being a werewolf and that I went from being an orphan with two guys I consider my brothers, to part of a pack which seems to mean a family. But I can not accept what happened to that girl Siobhan. I call it like I see it and maybe I am just a dumb human still, but that was rape. Who cares what her rank is? I certainly don’t, she’s a human being and her body belongs to her and only her. Bay has to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone ever again, or I may just lose my shit! Kenneth’s mate Phoebe was an Omega and I am sure she wasn’t treated like that. So I am trying to understa
Baylor POV I had a few ideas that I wanted to run by Alpha Colin, not that I needed his permission but I valued his opinion and input. One of the ideas I had would work for the short term, but I didn’t want it to be wasteful for the long term. One thing I learned once the guys and I ran away from the orphanage, was you don’t waste anything. I don’t know what kind of money the pack has, but I want to use it wisely and eventually figure out a way to make more. I notice we don’t have a large amount of children at least not yet, but we only have a little more than half of the pack here so far and that could change things. But I think we should probably look into making a more formal school system and set up a daycare-preschool. So these things in addition to housing are top of my priority list, right after training and keeping the pack safe. I should probably find out more about what happened after my parents' deaths that sent the pack into hiding in the first place. I don’t want a rep
