The Council and a pack gathering tomorrow! Busy day for Cyra and Yorick.
YorickOn Sunday morning, I left Cyra to train the warriors on our side of the pack with my father, and I took our friends to the new side of the pack.“You’re really going to have to do something about the literal divide in your pack lands,” Zach says on the drive over.“Yeah. The only thing I can think of is to build a centralized packhouse, which we can’t do until Cyra has our financial situation in hand.”“It’s a good thing the two of you like hard work. You’re about to have a year of it,” Chase says.“Yeah, but you have us too,” Piper says.“Thank goodness for that,” I say.Warrior training went really well. The pack responded positively to my form of training and they enjoyed sparring against my friends. Since all of them but Landon are Alphas, and he’s an incredible warrior, they’re all very good at instructing others on how to fight. The feeling in the pack when we were done was light and excited.Afterward, I met with Beta Eric and Gamma Hugo to go over patrol schedules. Whil
CyraEven though I know the area isn’t cleared out the way we would like, when Beta Lewis and Gamma Elliot returned to our pack later that afternoon, covered in dirt, sweat, and grass, they assured me that the area had been sufficiently cleared. Neither of them seemed particularly pleased with Gamma Hugo which I found interesting. I’ll have to talk to Warren about our plan to assess him and his position.Because Yorick didn’t have a chance to get the patrol schedules set up, I sent a group of warriors with the omegas from our pack and coordinated with Beta Eric on the other side to send warriors with his omegas to set up the food. Eric said he has some ideas to make the area look festive, which is good, since we don’t have electricity out there yet.I intended to arrive early and help with the final set up, making sure that everything was in order, but when we arrived, Beta Eric was already there. He had the warriors start a large bonfire in the center of the space that had been cleare
YorickWith the addition of a second pack, I feel even stronger than I did before. The buzzing in my mind, the connection to our pack members is also stronger. I hope that feeling of connection will continue to improve and strengthen as our pack gets stronger. I’ll be interested to see how I feel tomorrow after our gathering tonight.Because I have more strength, I enjoyed my mate before we fell asleep last night and then woke her up again this morning to have her again. It’s the best possible way to start and end my day.After another fun morning of warrior training, we sat down for breakfast. We talked about tonight and decided to send Beta Lewis and Gamma Elliot from this pack, and Gamma Hugo from the other pack to find and start preparing a space for tonight’s event. Cyra and I agreed that while we’d like Beta Eric to also be a part of that, we need him to be in the other pack making sure the pack members there don’t have any problems with all the changes happening.We had just fin
CyraSince Quirin and Kennedy are planning to head home after they make their announcement, we drive two cars to Christer’s old pack. I guess it’s our pack now, or it will be by the time we return to our ‘other’ pack tonight.“How are you feeling about everything Cyra?” Warren asks me. He and Yorick are sitting in the front while I chose to sit in the back. I’m behind Warren, so when I look up, I meet his eyes in the rearview mirror.Yorick turns to look at me, reaching out to put a hand on my knee.“There’s just so much to do,” I say. “It was already a lot, but now, with another pack, adding pack lands, increasing patrols ...” I stop, getting overwhelmed with everything that still needs to be done.“It will all get done. We didn’t have time to sit down today to go over the finances, but you still have two more days, and you aren’t the only Alpha in your pack. Yorick can work on patrols along with your father’s Beta and Gamma, if you trust them. Yara can help us plan the gathering of t
Yorick“Yorick, sweetheart, can you please disengage from Cyra so we can finish our conversation. Then the two of you can continue,” my mother’s voice says from somewhere behind me.I’ve gotten totally lost in kissing my mate. I forgot we were still in the pack hospital.I reluctantly pull away from my mate, who is quickly turning a bright shade of pink.“Sorry, Luna,” she murmurs.“Never apologize for loving your mate, especially when that mate is my son. I am well aware of the ‘passion’ of the Hill men,” mom says, making me chuckle and Cyra blush an even deeper shade of pink.“I have your results. First, your hormone levels are back to normal, meaning you definitely were given a placebo. I’m guessing the hormones from your previous implant lasted just long enough for me to confirm your negative pregnancy test,” she says.I feel the same wave of disappointment in Cyra that I’m feeling. I was excited to start a family with my mate, even if it would be difficult for the next year.“Now,
PiperI’m not sure I like the excited, almost maniacal grin on Alpha Quirin’s face when he walks out rubbing his hands together.“Alright! Let’s see what they’re teaching you Academy brats these days,” he says. “Kennedy says I’m not supposed to put you in the hospital, but since she AND Luna Yara are here, I feel confident that any damage I do can be undone.”Word spread quickly that we wanted to spar with Alpha Quirin and since everyone heard about what happened to Alpha Christer yesterday, most, if not all, of the pack warriors not currently on patrol, are here to watch.“So, how do you want to do this? Do you want me to take on all four of you at once?” he asks.I frown.“No. Then we wouldn’t be able to tell how we do individually against you,” Zach says and the rest of us agree.“Okay, who’s first?” he asks.“You choose,” Chase says.He looks the four of us over quickly then points to me. “Piper.”Of course he picked me. I thought that maybe he’d be different than other Alphas and
