The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 42: Grace
For several hours, I train with Angel and Cara, tapping into and manipulating each other's power. Then Rik wants me to train physically. As we walk to Clint’s and Cara’s old house, he explains. "You’ve found your Guardian strength and power, but you need the physical strength in your human form. It will also help Maia for you to train both in human and wolf form. You probably remember that Clint had an entire training center set up for Cara." When we get there, I recognize the house. It has feelings of both happiness and sadness, loneliness and family. It’s a strange combination. ‘Clint lived here after losing Lily. While he had Cara and loved her, and Anders visited every week, he still felt the constant emptiness of losing his mate.’ Maia explains to me. “What is this?” Eli asks as we walk up and see an incredible training center. “This is only the outdoor training equipment. There’s an entire indoor training center as well.” Cara says. “Clint built it over the years to train

When we arrive back at our pack, I know Grace is exhausted. It’s been a grueling couple of days for her. I was able to complete our application to make our pack official, I applied for us to participate in the Tournament of the Moon Goddess, we set a date for the first mate gathering with Rik and Liam’s packs and I told Liam that I’d have numbers for him in a couple of days for those that want to work for him. All in all, it was a very productive weekend. When we get to the packhouse, Carlos is waiting for us, Amber’s baby in his arms. “Alpha, Luna. Welcome home.” He says. We shift and put on some clothes before walking into the packhouse. “Carlos, nice mark you’re sporting.” I say, referencing his new mate mark. He smiles sheepishly. “Thank you, Alpha.” “Congratulations.” Grace says to him, coming up beside me. “Uh, I know you both probably want to go clean up and check in on everything that’s happened while you were gone, but before you go, Amber and I would like to share someth

The announcements went as well as expected over dinner. Afterward, I took a much-needed soak, mentally thanking Cara for the muscle soak. The rest of the week became a whirlwind. I began training with Eli and Carlos in the morning and again in the afternoon. Afternoons are now three hours of training, the first two are required for warriors in the pack and the last hour is for those that want to participate in the tournament. We found out that the packs can only take their top 20 individuals, so our members will have to battle for their right to represent our pack. Eli and I are both pleasantly surprised at the number of individuals that are vying for those positions. It seems our pack members are proud of their pack, officially named Safe Haven. That’s right. On Tuesday after we returned to our pack, Eli received a verbal notification from Alpha Anders that our pack was approved. We are official. Then on Wednesday, Eli informed Liam that 250 of our nearly 300 pack members want to be

I’m so proud of my pack. The gift that they are giving their ranked females speaks volumes about their feelings toward our pack. It’s a good thing and reinforces what we are doing here, creating this place for those that have nowhere else to go.Liam, Angel and Liam’s foreman, Perry, arrive just before lunch. Grace and I meet them out front as they arrive and lead them to a table on the back patio we had set up for lunch. Noah and Sirona join us.“Dr. Phillips, how have you settled in?” Liam asks her.“Sirona please, Alpha. And very well. It’s very exciting what we are planning to create here. I’m glad to be a part of it.” She tells him.“If you decide you want to come back to the easy life, our pack is always open to you.” He says and Angel smacks him with the back of her hand. He rubs his chest, pretending she hit him hard, as he smiles down at her.“What are your plans, Sirona?” Angel asks her and she launches into her ideas of how to rebuild the pack hospital. Perry is paying atte

The day of our inauguration ceremony starts exactly as I expected it to, chaotic. People are bustling around everywhere. Luna Calista and Alpha Anders arrive after breakfast. With them, they brought suits for the guys. I guess they heard about our dresses but knew the guys didn’t have anything to wear. While his pants fit fine, the shirt and jacket were very snug on my mate. I called Anna to see if she could think of anything and she was able to find seams that she would let out so that the clothes fit Eli better. My hair was a simple affair. Since it’s short, I just slicked it to my head. With the dress, it gave the hairstyle an elegant feel. A stage had been set up on the lawns behind the packhouse. Chairs for everyone were set out with the front row being reserved for Rik, Cara, Liam, Angel and Calista. Anders will be on stage with us, presiding over the event. Eli and I meet Carlos, Amber, Noah and Sirona on the back patio. Amber’s dress is a beautiful teal, floor-length dress wi

On Sunday, our friends left after breakfast. Angel and Cara were excited about the garden and wanted to purchase some of the fruits and vegetables when they are harvested. It’s another way the pack can make some money and Victoria and Ivy are already making plans to expand the garden. They were part of the group that wanted a store on our new ‘main street’, although they want theirs to be mostly an open-air market environment. Grace, Amber and Noah picked up some egg-laying hens. They seem to like their new living arrangements. It will take a few days for them to adjust, but we’ve assigned some of the older pups to watch out for them, feed them and let them graze in a fenced in area every day. We started with 30 hens, we’ll see how many eggs they can produce, but I think that Grace is already working on a plan for bring in more for the pack. If we produce an excess, we can sell the extras in the market. On Monday, Perry shows up with a crew and we get started with the morning shift.

When I think of fae royalty, King Ailduin is exactly what I’d expect. He is tall, at least 7 feet, his hair is white, even lighter than Angel’s, but not gray, just very white. His skin is pale but seems to glow giving him the look of someone in excellent health. And he walks with such elegance it’s almost as if he’s floating. His son, Aolis, is a smaller version of Ailduin. When I say small, I mean at 10 years old, he’s already over 5 feet tall, much taller than a normal human his age. Eli and I stand up to greet him. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to bow or curtsy, so I follow the example of the others and just shake his hand. “Guardian. It is good to meet you. May I have your name?” He says, holding my hand as he speaks to me. His touch has a strange warmth to it. It’s more than body heat, it’s feels more like a relaxing heat. I instantly feel calm. Maia pushes forward. “King Ailduin. I remember you, although most of my memories are vague. I am Maia and my human is Grace.” “Maia,
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 49: Eli
I am stunned at the power that Grace just pushed out. And according to her, it was only half her power. She literally knocked all three Alphas, a fae king and a group of warriors on their collective asses. Cara starts clapping. “Nice job, Grace!” Rik jogs over to Trevor who is limping but not injured badly. I walk with Ailduin and Liam back over to my mate. “Are you okay?” She asks me, her eyes looking over my body for injuries. “I’m fine. But, wow, baby. I had no idea you were that strong.” “I told you, it’s a LOT of power that I can feel now.” As Trevor limps closer she goes to him. “Are you alright? Did I hurt you?” She asks him, concern etching her voice. “I’m good, Luna. I asked for it and wow, that was something else.” “Maia? That was only half of your power?” Ailduin directs his question to Maia, rather than Grace. “Yes. I pushed my power into Grace’s Alpha aura and then helped her hold it back.” “Impressive. I will have to come up with another way to test your strengt
