P.o.V ColmColm hoped the week of training in wolf form would have been a release, a chance for him and Patrick to make amends and strengthen their bond. But no. The entire week was Patrick ignoring training and then shutting him up in the back of their mind as soon as he regained control. Colm begged, bargained, and threatened for the chance to go to the extra practices with the elders, but Patrick would not allow it.Colm's mind was settled on simply failing whatever tests they faced since he could not be treated any worse. Patrick had found a way to mute him when he tried to talk about anything Patrick didn't like. Spending hours and hours locked inside their body, unable to communicate or act. Being let out only for mandatory time-frames and immediately shut back in when they were over. Colm wanted to run in the woods and feel the uneven earth unde

"I said, 'Shut it!'"                          "Oh quit pouting. It was funny, but effective. Captain Marta literally didn't know what hit her. And now every bowling pin within a hundred miles will know to fear us." M

P.o.V. Moira/TrajanThe practices and extra training times grew more and more difficult. Some of the trainees began to be directed at more focused training during their morning practice and Commander Alexi was inviting Captains in throughout the weeks. The elders also began training in groups so that one would generally work with the group as a whole, but a couple could take aside wolves that seemed to be gravitating towards particular skill sets for more focused work. The first from the gang to be singled out was Chris. Captain Daryl came in at the forth practice and pulled out Chris, Sarah, and one other boy Moira only knew from school. After practice that day, the three of them were bombarded with questions that they refused to answer because Captain Daryl swore them to secrecy. Bo and Rich weren’t far behind, Captain Marta snatched them

Moira/TrajanReturning to the pack house after practice one evening at the end of summer, Moira felt lighthearted. They were planning on meeting up with their friends that evening for a movie marathon. Jessica and Annie were even going to join them. It was going to be a blast to just relax with her friends. As much as they all loved warrior training, they didn’t get much time to chat and just hang out.As Moira strolled in the front door and started up the stairs to get cleaned up and ready, Molly, the housekeeper for the public areas of the packhouse, called out to her. Moira swung back off the steps and into the kitchen. She was hoping they were trying a new recipe or something. It really didn’t seem to matter what the kitchen staff made, it was always delicious, so Moira and Trajan were willing to try anything set before them. Trajan was

P.o.V. Moira/TrajanMoira and Trajan were excited when they and their new friends walked into the lunch room and saw Chris and Jessica. Bo and Stan joined them a few minutes later and the small pack grew. Soon the large table they were seated at as well as the one next to it were full of werewolves from both the High Valley and Grey Peak packs. Introductions flew around fast, but it was not long before the bell rang for afternoon classes. Moira looked nervously at the group from Grey Peak but was relieved when Bo, Chris, and Stan all brought out their schedules. Aside from a couple of the more basic classes, they were all going to be together. Jessica was even in the math class with Moira and Chris.Trajan was almost making them bound down the hallway towards their Introduction to Local Cultures. Moira finally broke into a run at the sight of the rest
