Alpha AnsonThe more he went through the Luna’s files the angrier he got.  Bernadette had tried to bleed the pack dry, no wonder she had never used her Luna salary.  She’d cut the budget for household, kitchen and the gardens.  Then he found out that she had used thirty percent of that money to pay the salary of the omega she had doing her work for her.  The rest, it seemed, was spent on spa days, shopping, day trips and generally living the high life.He was livid, realizing what he had put his pack through by keeping her there for the sake of some stability.  He had corrected the budget cuts, so the broken items could be replaced.  It was then that he realized that Ember’s tinkering had kept things running smoothly.If he hadn’t stripped her title the moment he realized what Bernadette had done, her underhanded dealings would have come out eventually, but probably much later and with so much more damage to

Paul Michaels (Tracker from River Ash Pack)He had been sent by Alpha Anson to check if he’s god-daughter was in this academy.  They’d received a lead that she had been signed into this school when the previous Luna had banished her from the pack.As a new father, he could only imagine how worried his alpha was over this young woman and had volunteered for this, even if she wasn’t his real daughter, he had raised her from 5 years old.  Personally, he had no problem with her, she was a sweet kid, if somewhat reserved.He didn’t understand what the other members of the pack had against an innocent child, and recently it came out that the innocent child had been keeping up the tools for the kitchen and the garden since the ex-Luna had been stealing from the pack.  Now everyone who had backed the ex-Luna had egg on their faces.Paul had made sure to be dressed elegantly in a suit for his visit to the academy.  It wa

Ashton BaneAt the end of their training class, he felt this jab of urgency; the need to move and protect something.  His step faltered, unsure what this feeling was and why he felt this sense of urgency to act when he had no idea why.He noticed Oliver and Leo falter in their steps as well and he looked at them in confusion.  What was going on?  His wolf was vibrating with the need to move and attack, but he wasn’t sure what was going on.Leo seemed jittery and more serious than they had seen him in a while; the hairs on his arms rose in a way that showed that his shift was not far off.  “What class did Ember have while we had war training?”  He asked in a voice raspy with the sense of his wolf just below the surface.Oliver was thoughtful for a moment, since he was the one that gathered intelligence.  “Technology, I think.”  He answered with a look of concentration on his face.  Ash w

Alpha AnsonHe had been held up longer than he had wanted to be; mostly because he was still busy fixing the fuck-ups that Bernadette had created with her greed and selfishness.  He made sure that the whole pack knew that she would not be tolerated on this pack territory and started slowly correcting her years of stealing from the pack.He knew it would take a small fortune to correct the damage she had done.  But he also knew that once everything was as they should be, they would all save money in the long run.  She’d raised the rent for the family homes more than fifteen percent every year to fund her spending.  Then she had cut budgets in running the pack properly as well.  He had been a horrible alpha not to notice the damage she had been doing to his pack.Finally he had set one of the omegas to work on cataloging and researching prices on the bags, shoes and brand named clothes he had forced Bernadette to leave behind. 

Alpha AnsonHe felt even more like a failure when he drove away from the academy without Ember. He had failed her as a guardian if she had felt that she couldn’t be herself around him or tell him everything that had been done to her. He hadn’t even known that some of the pups had bullied her.When he pulled to a stop in front of the pack house, there was a welcoming party waiting for Ember. Most of the household and garden staff, some guards were waiting, as well as Ilene and even Tom. There was a measure of excitement in their patience and he felt horrible, when he stepped out of the car alone and their faces fell at the realization that Ember was not with him.
