All Chapters of Bowing to Silverclaw: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Alpha Gathering“Has anyone even met this Silverclaw family before?” Paladin’s voice carried in the Hall of Alpha’s easily as everyone gathered.“Oh yes, very good people. I made it to Miami a couple of times at their expense to see Silverclaw Enterprise headquarters and Silver Thread as well.” Mydel answered gracefully, painfully aware that Paladin happened to be the father of Samantha. He was never a huge fan of the Moonriver Pack, and was more than happy to be helping Samantha keep her identity to herself from those people.“How did you manage to obtain such a relationship with the alpha of Newblood?” Alpha Logan was quick to ask, his wife, Loraya, was quite interested in the Silver Thread line, and he hoped to gain insight on becoming close to the Silverclaw family as well. Anything to make his Luna happy. Much to Logan’s dismay, Mydel merely shrugged and mumbled something about his travels.“I’ve certainly traveled often with my Luna, I haven’t randomly come across any Silvercla

Samantha“If I didn’t know any better, I would say the wheels are spinning faster than usual.” Nick’s voice sounded behind me as I was sitting in the garden of Dragonmoon Pack.“And yet you do know me better than that.” I offered without turning around.“I do, the wheels are always spinning fast. What’s wrong?” His voice was next to me now as he sat down on the decorative log with me. I looked at him and gave myself a moment to appreciate how handsome he was. I didn’t allow myself to do that often, I never wanted to be defined by a man ever again. But once in awhile, I would wonder what it would be like to give myself fully to Nick. To be marked again, to be loved by him and allow the feelings to envelope me.He knew I cared deeply for him, as I knew he did me. The fact that he didn’t push me, further endeared him to me. I wasn’t ready to lose focus though. I had a plan.“The meeting was fairly successful, but without entry to Moonriver I’m worried about how I will pursue his pack.”

Samantha Davis’s keen gaze seemed very thoughtful as he mulled over my words.“And you believe that your vision is something other packs may disagree with?”I nodded. “Essentially, yes. The were culture is the culture with the least amount of change, but change is already happening while the species stay at a pace that will ultimately destroy us. Elder alpha’s don’t think so radically, because of this they are affecting future progress. A world where humans could get the control and potentially eliminate us. We need to grow with the world, not against it.”Davis smiled. “I think that is a very forward way of thinking. I think maybe I could speak with my father, don’t dwell on his avoidance. I will keep in touch on this.”I smiled my thanks at him.“Dragonmoon fully supports Alpha Samantha and even agrees with her views.” Serburi added. “Samantha is something of a family member to us, I’ve watched her grow into quite a person, my luna and I are very proud.” He raised his glass to me b

SamanthaWhen we were finally back in Miami, my traveling companions immediately went home to their mates. I had sent multiple messages to Ansel as they had not been able to meet us while we were in Fallen Heights, and I was worried.When I got to my apartment they were both there, waiting for me. I breathed a sigh of relief at their presence.“What happened to you guys? I tried multiple times to get a hold of you both.” “We are sorry Alpha, I wanted to be there, but we got some news and that’s why we are here instead.” Ansel’s voice was soft. “A tech lab was broken into, we have several missing records and.” He took a deep breath before continuing. “Schematics for the,” his eyes flickered to Nick who was behind me.“It’s fine.” I answered his unspoken question of whether or not it was safe to discuss these matters in front of Nick.Ansel stood up tall and gave me an apologetic look. “Schematics for Lykanthrope were stolen as well.”I let out a growl, not necessarily directed at anyo

SamanthaThere were a total of 332 pack members in Newblood Pack, this did not include the Silverclaw family, of which totaled 7 of us. Newblood has a small number compared to the many in the western packs. And every single one of the pack members showed up, which ensured that there would not be another break in at our main lab.Settling into the cabins we owned was typical for us, we had done this several dozen times now, even when we had new pack members, we found a way to ensure everyone had their needs met. Usually, we came here for our week-long pack runs, celebratory purposes, ceremonial purposes, and meets.Our meets usually happened during a pack run, and though I did plan on a pack run, this time was far different than usual. We had an altar set up in a small clearing in the forest, it opened to a pedestal that sat under a large gazebo that was stringed with twinkling lights. Torches were lit around the gazebo, allowing the flames to dance on our skin as everyone circled arou
