Chapter 9: Antici....pation
P.o.V. Moira/Trajan
If any of the warrior leaders had looked at the pack house they may have seen a dark haired figure in one of the uppermost windows facing the training ground. If they had good eyes they would have noticed it was too small to be an adult. If they had remarkably good eyes they could see that this figure was entirely incapable of sitting still.
"Is it time yet?" Trajan whined for what felt like the hundredth time.
"No. This morning is taking forever!" Moira responded with a huff of exasperation.
"Why can't we just go to training? The warriors already went. We should go too!"

P.o.V. Narrator Each of the young wolves lined up quickly as the Warrior Commander and his leaders approached. Some bounded over with unfettered excitement while others scurried over nearly trembling with fear. He surveyed the group with an imperious gaze, assessing each one to the bone in the swift glance he passed over them. They squabbled themselves into something resembling a line as he and the leaders stopped and waited for the shuffle to end. This part was always painful to watch. How did kids who had been made to line up since they were small children still not understand how to do it? "We are missing five," he said to the tall female werewolf standing next to him once everyone became still and they could get a final count. She had long blonde hair shaved on both sides but braided all the way down her back. Her bare arms sported a few scars ac
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 11: Requesting Assistance
P.o.V. Moira/TrajanBefore the Commander left training on the first day, the young wolves got permission to practice in the afternoons IF they could find a fully trained warrior to oversee them. Without delay, or much discussion, Moira, Patrick, and all their friends were running back to the pack house. The group barreled through the door so quickly that they almost overturned a side table in the front hall.It being lunch, they first headed to the dining hall and kitchens, but Alpha Darren was nowhere to be found. They checked the patio to see if he was out back, only to find a barren yard. So, throwing all decorum to the wind, Moira and Trajan charged towards the stairs to the Alpha's private meeting rooms. As they bounded up the steps three at a time, the lack of footfalls behind halted them midway up.T
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 12: Alpha Gerald's Assessment
P.o.V Alpha Darren/Tybris "You'll need to help her learn to control her mind link. She only had the Alpha channel partially open, but I could tell she was receiving my top-level thoughts." said Alpha Gerald as he turned towards Alpha Darren. "Why did you keep sending?" Darren responded quizzically. Alpha Gerald was entirely capable of shutting off his mind link, so Moira shouldn't have been able to read him if he wasn't allowing it. "I wanted to test her and see how much she's figured out. When you told us about your situation at our arrival I was curious. You said she's only had her wolf a few months? And you have given her no instruction?" "Just some physical training with her and her brother in human form only."

P.o.V. Patrick/ColmWhen they made it out of the Alpha's meeting room, Patrick was ready to be rid of Moira. He was sure she planned on letting him go first so that he looked like he hadn't thought anything through. She probably just did it because they were in front of, not only their Alpha and Beta, but the pack's closest ally's leaders as well. Alpha Gerald actually seemed offended by the idea until Moira talked him around."She just followed up where you left off. There didn't seem to be any maliciousness on her part. And we got what we wanted in the end so the method wasn't important," Colm voiced calmly from deep in Patrick's mind where he had retreated after they fought in the morning.Patrick had woken up that morning in a worse mood than he was in after the ceremony. He wanted to confront Moi
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 14: Grapples, Kicks, and Jabs
P.o.V. Narrator True to his word, Alpha Darren spoke with Warrior Commander Alexi about the idea of retired warriors overseeing afternoon practices for the young wolves. Commander Alexi approved, provided he was able to invite particular wolves and work out the schedule. After they had settled the matter, Commander Alexi reached out to several of the more skilled and respected former warriors who had experience with training recruits and was ready to announce the available practices the next morning. As the young wolves took their places, he noticed that Moira and Patrick's groups were avoiding each other. He had heard from one of the patrols that was leaving the training area the previous afternoon that the Alpha's children had a loud and heated fight and the young Alpha had stormed off into the forest. The evening patrols kept tabs on her and her c
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 15: The Morning Of
P.o.V. Moira/TrajanThe sunlight cut through the curtains Moira had left partially open to act as an extra alarm as soon as it cleared the treeline. She stirred almost immediately before launching forcefully from the bed. Their eyes were entirely black and darted quickly around the room before finally settling on the clothes laid out on the desk. They hurried over and dressed before rushing into the bathroom. Not five minutes later, hair bound tightly into a braid, they hurried out of the door into the hallway.Their progress through the house was as silent as possible in the old building. Squeaky floorboards were avoided and the steps were taken at a careful pace with an occasional skipped step to avoid the loudest.The downstairs window shades were still shut, casting a gloom across the entire floor
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 16: Fight!
P.o.V.Moira/Trajan"Today... you will fight me."These words dropped like lead weights into Moira and Trajan's brain. Moira began immediately trying to recall any instance of seeing Captain Daryl fight or hearing anything about how strategists operated. Trajan was running through everything they learned and making adjustments to plan for speed and adaptivity. "Chaotic," he said. "We need to be unpredictable."But Captain Daryl didn't pause long to let them take in this news. He continued, after noting each of their reactions to the announcement, "I will act entirely defensively and use only things you have been shown in your training class with Commander Alexi. Points are awarded as follows: Strikes to body - 5
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 17: Proud Papas
P.o.V. Alpha Darren/TybrisWatching Moira and Trajan fight was a proud moment for Darren and Tybris. The focused look on her.... their... face was new but promising. He could see the analysis in their eyes as they watched everyone else fight. Apparently Daryl had as well. He changed the order up to make it more challenging. Didn't seem to phase Moira and Trajan in the least."They fought hard. And landed some good hits. Daryl will be feeling those," said Tybris as Moira's first round finished. "They were able to fake him out with that kick. Pretty impressive feat for a trainee with only a few months of training," he continued full of pride.That warm glow only lasted a few moments as Patrick stood back up to take his second round. His tardiness embarrassed Alpha Darren to the core. Even if Patrick didn't wa
