Alpha of the Peak Chapter 23: Patrick's Fury
**Trigger Warning: This scene contains elements of verbal, mental, and physical abuse. Please refrain from reading much beyond the 7th paragraph if this can cause you any issues.** Patrick/Colm As he limped into the waiting area after the last section of the gauntlet, Colm felt exhausted but still elated. He’d made it through the first and second sections in time, though he felt like he hurt his leg when he slipped slightly in one of the mud holes. Captain Marta managed to keep him from passing through her section, but overall he was 2 for 3. Looking at the other wolves in the area, several looked very upset. Even Trajan seemed to be moping in a corner. Maybe Colm had done as well as him. With these happy thoughts and Patrick seeming to be resting quietly, Colm settled in to wait
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 24: Promotion
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
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 25: Lesson from the Alpha
Patrick Patrick was almost excited for the lesson with his father. The only part of them he disliked was the presence of his sister. She was always waiting with their father before Patrick got there and staying afterwards to “help clear up.” Her sucking up wouldn’t matter though, mother had made father promise that there would be no difference in their treatment. Even if she spent all of her spare time trying to gain father’s favor, it wouldn’t have an impact. She was almost always quiet in the lessons and never tried to answer any of the questions their father posed. She would even doze off with her eyes glazed over when they were supposed to be reviewing material. “Maybe her presence was a good thing after all,” Patrick thought to himself as he entered the room they were using for their studies to see Moira and their father setting out maps a
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 26: Schedule Woes
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
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 27: Welcome Freshmen
NarratorThe first day of school seemed to come in the blink of an eye. Both the Leary children got parental approval for their classes without much trouble. Patrick was going to take a business and public speaking focused set of courses while Moira’s cultural studies route received an abrupt snort from their mother but full and cheerful approval from their father who let them know how much he wished he’d learned to speak other languages instead of having to rely on interpreters.The highschool was on the edge of the territories near the base of the mountain. It held students from multiple werewolf clans, the human population, a couple of covens, a vampire clan from nearby, and various other species who called the area home. To ensure that everyone got the most pertinent education possible, there was a core of classes including one specific
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 28: Miss En
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
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 29: A Few More Weeks
Diary Entry of Patrick Leary (14)The first few days of school were quite successful. I was able to almost completely avoid my sibling and her sycophantic followers. I only had a few basic classes that overlapped with them and was lucky enough that only Seamus crossed my path and he seemed content to ignore each other after a brief greeting. I have learned not to trust him and Stan since they sided with Moira. It is annoying having to leave school early for warrior training. Luckily there are only 7 weeks left and we will be considered graduated from the program. The day can't come fast enough.Moira came to talk to me one evening this week. I haven’t yet figured out what she was trying to do though. She was asking me about being lonely at school and rambling about the “feeling of packless-ness.” It could be she was trying to taunt me
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 30: End of Training
NarratorThe last weeks of training passed in an exhausted blur as the young wolves settled into school routines while keeping up with their practices. It was taxing for many who found balancing the stress and time of training with their homework was very difficult. Jessica impressed many of the leaders. She had the hardest course load of any of the freshmen having tested out of her science and math freshman level courses and gone straight to the sophmore classes. She attended brawler training, remaining a fierce warrior, while still keeping up with her volunteer hours at the pack clinic. There were some full warriors that could have learned from her work ethic and time management. Captain Marta had even contacted Dr. Slater to be sure Jessica was getting enough rest and wasn't feeling taxed but hiding it.Because the goal of their training was t
