The Alpha Damien One Hundred- Forty Four
Damn, but at least with this one I can clean the outer shell of any accidental blood stains and re-proof it with a can of repellant. Hopefully it will pay off in the long run. If I go out every month and ruin a cheaper bag, I'd be spending more than this in four months time.The next morning she was happy when she went to work. Yes, I'm leaving but Rhoda won't be there to ruin my mood anymore. Charlenne proved herself to be as smart as Elena thought she could be. She had no trouble getting her acquainted with the software, but she needed to find some inspiration with the graphics layout. That's where natural talent comes in, you are either inspired or you are not. It's an artist part of the job, and this was where Charlenne had the most difficulty."Honestly, Elena, I've never thought about art or graphics. Can I take a class or something?""Well, yeah, you can. However, this is where you need to let your imagination flow and try to feel for the client. Find out what they are looking

Elena blushed again and she saw Marcy shoot a look at Gab that was a mixture of surprise and annoyance. Goob just grinned and shook his head. He had wanted to surprise his wife with his new friend, and it had worked."I surprise a lot of people, Marcy. So don't feel embarrassed about it, you should have seen Goob's face when I shot that rifle for the first time and just grinned at him like a kid at Christmas. He didn't know what to say or do for a minute there."Marcy laughed and nodded, immediately taking to Elena's easy-going personality and humor."Yeah, I've managed to do that to him a couple times myself. Let me just get the rest of the food into the cooler and then we can hit the road."Marcy went back into her kitchen and Elena waited with Goob."Okay, Elena, we're heading for a friend's ranch and the roads are almost non-existent once we get into the higher elevations. Here's a radio for you to use so we can stay in contact if we get separated. It's got a 12-mile range out on

This was the truth, so she knew her voice wouldn't detract from her excuse. They both stared at her a few seconds; and then at each other, they shared a look together before they turned back to her. Marcy was the first to break the silence."I'm sorry to hear that. Again, I didn't mean to embarrass you."Gab was looking at her, and she could see that he was mulling something over in his mind; finally he shrugged and grinned."Well, I guess if you're willing to forgive our lapse in manners, then I'm willing to forget about it and just enjoy the weekend with a new friend."Elena smiled and let out a big sigh of relief."Thank you. I'm sorry too, I should have warned you, but it slipped my mind in all the excitement and rush to get out here."They all smiled their relief at the averted social faux paux. They started chatting about the next day's plans and Gab reassured Elena that she would be just fine around the horses. Eventually they all yawned, Marcy first and then the other two in s

"I forgot to eat dinner last night and camping always gives me a huge appetite. I'll burn it all off before the day is over. Well, maybe. You have brought some horses but when I go camping, I'm always on foot. So I normally hike ten miles in one day when I go out.""Oh, okay. Yeah, I'd eat that much too if I was going to hike ten miles."Gab just sat there and grinned as he sipped his coffee. Marcy and Elena finished their breakfasts almost simultaneously. They washed their plates and cleaned out the skillets. Gab doused the fire while Elena and Marcy drank their coffee. She watched Gab as he saddled the horses. She was still nervous about this exercise. She didn't know if the horse they would try to get her on would stand still enough for her to do so. She went through her calming exercises in her head, trying to still her nervousness. She figured that if she didn't feel nervous, the horse would be calm as well.They finished their coffee and went over to where Gab was waiting for th
The Alpha Damien Chapter One
The large gray wolf's nostrils produced plumes of steam that stood out in the sunlight due to the Front Range's chilly, crisp morning air. As he gazed out over the undulating hills in front of him, the early morning sun glinted in the treetops. His prey, cows, were scattered across this frosted-tan countryside. Early in the morning, they were gathered together for warmth, but as the day's meal approached, they were beginning to spread apart. He planned on eating properly today. He thought he could make a quick kill and feast before the humans returned because they hadn't been around here in a few days.Damien had observed their daily routine as they rode their horses along the edge of their property for several days. The cattle were left to graze the hills while the horses were loaded into a trailer and hauled away last night. He and his group of cousins had to be extremely cautious about how many cows they kidnapped.If they frequented a certain ranch too frequently, the residents wo

"We did, didn't we boys, show those jerks something!""They won't attempt to steal one of our cows again, you can be sure of that""Have you seen that opening shot? I adore my new rifle!"The final voice was heard to his left. Damien shifted his gaze carefully in order to get a better look at the person who had shot his second-in-command. The tall person held his weapon up for the other people to see while also pulling back his grass cover.He committed every feature of that face to memory, imprinting it on his enraged psyche. He saw them group up and then circle about to celebrate their victories. Squatting over the body of his former second when they turned their backs, he realized that this was his last chance to go.He emerged from the grass like one of the rifle shots and sprinted headlong for the tree line. The humans behind him were audibly cursing and shouting in shock as they realized their mistake. He was about to reach the top of the hill when he heard the piercing crack of

He had stumbled into several trees on his route as a result of his depth perception being seriously impaired by the absence of that eye. He anticipated it would get worse when the sun set and the light vanished. He still wished to continue. He would feel safer as he ventured further into the woodlandFive more kilometers had been covered when he heard a disturbance off to his left. There was something in the trees here, something bigger than a rabbit. He couldn't smell anything peculiar because the wind had died down. He paused and listened in search of another cue as to what might be out there.From a copse of undergrowth, the sound of liquid striking pine needles could be heard.As the sound faded, Damien turned his gaze toward the bushes. More rustling followed by a big object shifting against the branches. A tall human female emerged from the underbrush before he could move to conceal, still looking down as she fastened the top button of her jeans. They established eye contac

She carefully turned and unzipped the tent flap. She cautiously unlocked the top of a large backpack after removing it from the tent with her hand. She took some beef jerky out of the bag and threw each piece at him one at a time. By the third piece, he was within throwing distance and was successfully grabbing the pieces before they landed.He glanced at her and swung his head back and forth to indicate that he didn't want any more when the bag was halfway empty. After a few period of continued staring, he licked his chops and started to scan the campsite. He failed to spot any nearby water source. Suddenly, recognition appeared on their faces"Oh shit! I bet you are really thirsty after eating all that salted beef. Let me get you a bowl and I'll get you some water."Her voice was normal now, with no trace of fear. She opened another pocket on the backpack and pulled out a small silver oblong container. She flipped open the lid and removed all the other items from inside it and
