After placing a huge order at the bakery to be shipped to our pack and placing an order to be picked up on our way out of town in two days, Damien and I get in the Hummer with Ely and Eivin, and we are on our way to the pack. Alpha and Beta will be later than us, because they have all the kids with them. I need to get back so that I can eat lunch, then start getting ready for the gathering after I help get the kids settled in. It's another busy day today.  When we got to the packhouse, I went straight to the dining room. While Damien and I were eating, Alpha Arnou and Beta Rule came in with the kids. They were all laughing, so I took this as a good sign. Alpha offered to let them sit at his table, and they took him up on it. They all got a plate of food and a drink and sat down with us. When Alpha stood,

Damien and I were still standing there, when another huge man walked up to us. "Hello. You must be Alpha Damien and Luna Abby, from Red Fang Pack." Damien nodded, "We are. And you are?" He chuckled, "I am Alpha Erick Fontenot from Shadow Pack. I have already heard a lot about you and the good you are doing for The Swamp Nightwalkers". Damien bragged, "You can thank my mate for that. She's the one with the heart to pull this all together. I could've never come up with these ideas." I poked him in the ribs, and laughed, "You could've, but sometimes, you need a she-wolf to bring out your caring side." Alpha Erick offered, "I would love an alliance with your pack. I would also love to invite you to come visit my pack and see if anything can be done to improve relations with humans in my area." I accepted, "I'm sure we could stop in at your pack for a day or two, after we visit these other three packs."

I went inside to get my plate and I asked Ely and Eivin to come outside and eat with me. We sat at the picnic table as we watched the kids get on the backs of my mate and the other Alphas. After some other pack members showed them how to hold on and how to signal that they need to stop, they all went behind trees to shift. When they were all gathered, they all took off into the woods to my right.  A few minutes later, we were eating our breakfast and I just happened to look to my left. I caught sight of an alligator walking up to us. I told the guys to sit on the table and I elevated the alligator to eye level for me. I started walking toward it when Ely warned, "Luna, please don't get too close to it. Alpha would kill us if you got hurt." I agreed, "I'm not going to get too close, but something is going

Anna smiled, "I kinda hope we do. That would show all of the town that we can all live together in peace." Yara grinned, "I will tell Abby that she needs to talk to your parents. There are things the two of you need to know soon." Anna sighed, "It's just us and my mom. My dad was killed by a drunk driver." Yara smiled, "Okay. We can speak with your mom when we take you home, this evening." Damien asked, "Yara, will you please let Abby come forward? We really need to talk to her now." Yara agreed, "Yes, Alpha. Your wish is my command." She winked at Damien, and I came forward. Damien was still chuckling when I came forward. I cringed as I asked, "What did she say?" Damien laughed, "She was well behaved. I am pretty proud of her."   I asked Anna, "Is there anything else you need to ask me?" She replie

After talking with the city council, it was settled that construction would begin on the water park as soon as the construction company was available. We gave them the link to the video. We watched it with them, and they were very impressed. One council member suggested, "I think I want to put this on the city's social media accounts as well as show it at all city meetings. This shows that you are not the monsters they think you are. It also talks about where the Rougarou originated from. They will be relieved to know that the Rougarou was taken out by werewolves to protect humans." We agreed that it would be a great idea. Alpha Arnou told them that Sergio's parents signed over custody of Sergio to him. They relinquished their parental rights. He showed them the paperwork and they made a copy for their records. The female council member smiled, "I'm so glad you are taking him. They are horrible parents. We couldn't do anything about it, because he never told anyone." Alpha Arnou tol
