Chapter 108: Horizons
Rich
By the time we had finished handing everything over to Patrick, Trisha, and their group, Troi was long gone from the pack house. Even their scent was growing faint as Claud tracked them through the forest and up towards some of the overhangs. It was well past dark when he finally found more than a wisp of them and was able to hone in on their location.
As he got closer I realized where they were. It was the overhang where we found the phoenix feathers as kids. Sure enough, they were sitting on that ledge looking out into the distance. They were so focused, they didn’t even acknowledge Claud’s approach. I shifted back and put on the clothes he’d carried before climbing up beside them.
They still didn’t act as if they noticed anyone else here. I tried to wait, but eventually grew

Alpha of the Peak Prologue: The Tradition
Diary Entry of Fallon Teroth (16) of the Grey Peak PackThe Grey Peak Pack celebrates the bond forming between a werewolf's human side and their wolf side. As winters close and the final snows cap the peaks, tall bonfires are built all around the square. A platform is erected in front of the pack house with a discreet closed area in the center. At the end of winter after a young werewolf first shifts, their wolf is introduced to the pack by the Luna.The tradition started, as most did, out of a tragic necessity. Long ago, the Grey Peak pack was spread far beyond the mountain to the plains below. The Alpha at the time had a son. He was a bright child who followed his father constantly emulating his every move, even getting other kids to join him in their own version of warrior training. The Alpha fed his son's appetite to learn, and the boy was well on
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 1: Alpha Darren's Secret
P.o.V. Alpha Darren/Tybris"Four AM is a vile time to wake up." Alpha Darren groaned internally to his wolf as he drug himself out of bed."Don't blame me," a distant sounding grumble huffed back to him. He felt Tybris retreat deeper into his mind. Probably to keep sleeping. "Damn lucky dog," he muttered as he pulled on clothes for the day.Alpha Darren Leary was a big man. Not just in importance to his pack, but in physical size as well. As he drug himself out of bed, he kept the shaggy comforter wrapped around himself. His wild mass of dark curly hair and bushy beard blended into the dark blue of the blanket in the dim light making him look like a great bear rising from its slumber. Only someone standing just in front of him could have seen the small patch of ruddy, sun reddened skin between his mustache
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 2: The Twins
P.o.V. Moira Carefully peaking around the door to ensure her mother was gone, Moira darted across the hall into her brother's room. She wanted to gush over their plans to join warrior training and show the whole gang all the things they learned from their father. But she faltered as her eyes fell on her brother's stiff figure by the window. It is hard to distinguish werewolf children from human or magic ones when they are this age. By 16 or 17, they would grow much taller and more muscular but for now they were just children. Some are slightly taller or slimmer or bigger but not outside of what the humans consider normal. A sandy haired boy sits on his bed looking slightly worried. His green eyes staring straight out of the window and into the sky as if wishing it'd pull him from his room. He is just ove
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 3: The New Wolves
NarratorGreeting guests always started enjoyably, but felt so dull once other kids had arrived and were able to go off on their own and talk. While Patrick stood quietly by his parents, Moira fidgeted with whatever she could reach until her mother finally gave a sigh and released the two children to go join their friends. Moira grabbed Patrick's arm and pulled him quickly to the last place she'd seen Bo's towering figure."Hey, guys!" she exclaimed as she barreled into the group. They greeted the two new comers with energetic chatter. All of them were excited to be able to let their wolves out to run and be able to begin training. There were five boys in the group Patrick and Moira melded into: Bo, Stan, Chris, Seamus, and Rich. Bo and Rich were both big and extremely muscular for early teenagers. They could easily hide the remaining five in the group
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 4: Running the Path
P.o.V Alpha Darren/TybrisTybris and Axel chose a speed about half of what they'd normally run. Alpha Darren and Beta Owen had decided on this and the course the run would take ahead of time. If the wolf who paired with Baron could keep pace, they would steadily increase until he began to lag behind. Then they would slow to something that pushed him slightly but he could maintain. It may not be a race, but it was certainly a test.As they neared the end of the first leg of the run, the Alpha, Beta, and Commander were pleased with the young wolf shadowing them. He was chosing his path well and following subtle changes in Baron's trajectory that kept him out of any tough spots. A few times he even began to pace with Axel by mistake and fell back to rejoin the Commander. They were doing about 75% of their normal speed and it seemed to be comfortable enoug
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 5: Presentation of the Wolves
P.o.V Moira/???The final group had returned about ten minutes prior and they were about to begin the presentation. Each of the wolves waited anxiously by the stage. Ready for the long night to be over and to be able to get to sleep before rising for training the next morning."At least we can sleep until 10," Moira yawned to her wolf. "Training isn't until after lunch since they knew we'd be wiped out."He nodded internally. They were exhausted. "Who new father's wolf would be that fast?" he responded. "We almost couldn't keep up.""But we did," she said smugly. He could feel her smirk."Don't be too cocky. He wasn't going full speed. I noticed they were slowing down whenever we did."
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 6: Internal Divide
P.o.V. Patrick/ColmWatching his sister's wolf saunter into the enclosure on the platform squeezed the knot that had formed in Patrick's stomach when everyone realized he wasn't the large black wolf. How could she and Trajan disregard mother so? It was cruel for them to set her up like this in front of the entire pack. Moira never thought of how her ideas would hurt others, and clearly Trajan wasn't any different.As she emerged and announced her own wolf's name, the crowd started cheering and the young wolves rushed forward. Patrick felt heat rising to his face. She had planned this all along to raise her own standing. To make herself the center of attention. To steal the night away from everyone else. His mother tried to congratulate the entire group but it was chaos and she was forced to retreat to the pack house.
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 7: Prophetic Gift
P.o.V. Luna Fallon/Zira As Patrick shut the door, Luna Fallon smiled slightly. He was a good boy. He listened to what she said and followed her guidance as best he could. She had not made her usual request that he help temper his sister's wild behavior. They had that conversation rather regularly as she had to scold them both for being in whatever trouble happened, but wanted him to know she understood he wasn't the primary culprit. If only that girl would listen to someone's advice! A soft, meek voice whispered from the back of her mind, "Trajan is an Alpha. The Goddess even gave him a name that cannot be ignored. She is clearly showing the path that should be taken." "It doesn't matter what she has for a wolf. It doesn't matter if the wolf is the son of the Moon Goddess or a reincarnation of greatness.
