Chapter 76: Maintained Silence
P.o.V. Alpha Gerald
The rogues had been particularly quiet since the disappearance of the driver we believe was passing them information. The only times they made pushes into the territory were seemingly for supplies, though occasionally they would take people. A few times, those who vanished when the rogues attacked were later discovered among their numbers. Apparently turned toward their cause. So far we have been unable to question any of them as they either joined the rogues in retreating or died fighting rather than allow themselves to be captured.
We were still able to gather information from some of those captured who were not originally from High Valley. Apparently the orders have changed since the trucker vanished and they were no longer told to attack the leadership directly, just get supplies and get out with as many as possible. Some on our

P.o.V. TroiIt took ages to get cleaned up after the battle with the rogues. Between being careful over wounds and simply getting the blood and dirt and everything out of our hair, the process seemed never-ending. We didn’t realize exactly how bad we looked until Luna Martha met us in the hall and nearly fainted. Though most of it was dry by the time we made our way into the packhouse, there were still patches that got on her and Alpha Gerald when we made contact, and that alone was enough to warn us of the mess we were going to find when we got to the mirror.Since coming to High Valley, we know we have come to care for Luna Martha and Alpha Gerald and they have grown fond of us. We didn’t realize the extent until tonight where they were faced with the real prospect of losing us and responded with more concern and affection than our mother
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 78: Influx
NarratorTroi was excited to complete the pack bond with Tyko and begin exploring what possible feats they would be able to accomplish as a pair. As the bonding was completed and they began to feel the link, the difference between that and others was clear. Where others were like a phone line that was present but needed to be dialed, Tyko felt like a wide open tunnel. It took less than a thought to establish Tyko's state of wellbeing and proximity. Linking her was almost as easy as Moira and Trajan talking.They were exploring the link further to see if they could figure out how power would be transferred through it when an alert went up from outside that a nearby village was being hit but they were sending some warriors. Bo didn't seem to sense it and Tyko and the Coven Mistress wouldn't have been able to, but Troi could hear the warriors instructions. This wa
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 79: Gossiping Washerwomen
P.o.V. PatrickThe air outside was crisp and cold, but heaters around the back patio allowed for a comfortable seat outside. With what was probably the last sunny day of the year I decided to spend my time studying in the sunshine before winter really set in. I had brought out a few books and my computer and was reviewing information on the different species we had treaties or trade agreements with. It was rather tedious but I didn’t want to slip up in an important meeting and cause a disagreement. Meticulousness was always better than embarrassment.“Packs, Covens, Clans, Courts, Tribes, and Populations. Werewolves, Magic Users, Vampires, Fae, Giants, and Humans,” I kept reciting to myself. “Alpha, Coven Mistress, Sire, Queen, Chief, and Mayor. Wait, that's not right. Governor or president…” I had to go back to loo
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 80: End of Term
P.o.V. TroiWith only a few weeks before the Maben Ball and the week of finals that ends the semester, we couldn't miss any school. Having to return before we were fully healed was difficult since our leg and back were still not a hundred percent. We weren't limping but strenuous activity was a challenge and we still had trouble even laying carefully on our back, much less sitting back on hard plastic seats. Everything else was healed well though and the only scar was the cut along our neck. Although many others treated it like a cool new tattoo to be marveled at.The extra attention would have really bothered us if we hadn't returned home before getting back to school. Those from our pack were so rarely touched by battles that they still seemed to think of them as glorious. It didn't help that rumors traveled faster than we did and everyone was telling huge wh
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 81: Passing Time
P.o.V. NarratorThe winter break passed quickly for most, though the Leary twins found it dull and time without the welcome distraction of friends or school seemed to slow to a crawl. Their friends were either at the Maben Ball or spending time with their own mates. Those few who remained and were unattached were enjoying the last break they might have before becoming young adults and having to begin caring for their mate or taking their place within the pack. While they would still attend training, or in Jessica's case volunteer time at the clinic, they wanted nothing to do with extra pack duties or studying during their free time.Patrick spent the entire vacation locked in the library working on advancing his knowledge of contracts and treaties and politics. He studied law and a bit of languages to be able to greet guests and perform b
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 82: Surprise Party
P.o.V. TroiSitting at their desk in Grey Peak, Troi was feeling restless by the end of the first week back to school. It seemed like everything was on hold and the entire world was holding its breath for their birthday. They couldn’t focus and their mind kept drifting and they found themself staring out of the window while tapping rhythmically on the desk or bouncing their legs. No matter how hard they tried to keep their attention on the work, they kept being drawn back to the snowy, moonlit lawn. Finally frustrated trying to force it, they shut their books and decided to go for a run.As they grabbed the bag they’d use to store their clothes, they mindlinked the patrol captain for the evening to let him know they would be roaming. While the warriors all knew their scent, the wrong wind direction had caused them to charge directly in fron
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 83: Time to Grow Up
P.o.V. TroiThey finally managed a response as their mother daintily sipped her tea, “A hundred people for our birthday party? That seems like a lot, but why only five of our friends? What families are going to be there if they aren’t from our pack?”“Think of this logistically dear,” Luna Fallon sighed, setting her cup down with a slight clink. “I had to invite enough female and male children of prominent werewolf families to have the best chance of finding both Patrick and you a mate. Some of the available wolves are traveling with just guards, but most are bringing at least one parent as well who are expecting to attend as well. It will be like a Maben Ball just for ranking families. There are also several who have given up on their children finding mates who are looking to arrange marriages for the betterment of
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 84: Call to Order
Alpha DarrenIt was a surprisingly quiet evening, so I should have known something was going to go wrong. Since Bo's mating ceremony was interrupted by the attack and the rogue band was decimated, everything had become increasingly calm. Tybris was growing restless and I was considering a run once our paperwork was done before settling in for the evening when a spark of anger flowed through the mate bond. Tybris was growing irritated and anxious as the anger simmered until it was a full boil. The feeling was very familiar, and I knew Fallon and Troi were at odds about something. Normally when they were just interacting I'd get small blips of annoyance, but this was extreme.I was almost to the door to go and find out what was wrong when Fallon slammed it open looking like she was charging into battle. She slapped the clipboard into my chest and said "Y
