Chapter 87: Internal Strife
Patrick
It had been a rather dull evening overall when I decided to call it a day. I finished all my school work and didn't feel like reviewing any more pack or ally history. After spending some time poking around the library for something that would catch my interest, I gave up and decided to go to my room and watch a movie.
The packhouse was really quiet when I went through to the kitchen to make some popcorn on the way. There was a strange feeling in the air, like people were all hiding and whispering somewhere far away. I couldn't shake the feeling as I gathered my snack and headed upstairs to my room, glad that the ominous presence didn't follow.
The strange atmosphere was soon forgotten as I settled in watching a funny zombie movie. I must have fallen asleep, because it felt like I blinked and m

TroiAs Patrick's eyes fluttered shut we moved quickly to catch him. He was surprisingly light so instead of setting him back in the chair, we lifted him onto the couch. He was breathing and had a steady heartbeat, but didn't seem to be waking up.We couldn't fully understand what had happened. Colm seemed to have been hurting Patrick somehow and there was something seriously wrong with him. Trajan had to speak directly to Colm to get it to stop but it didn't feel right. Colm didn't feel right. He felt sick.Thinking through it all we realized we needed help, but dad had to deal with mother and if we called for them she'd just accuse us of causing this intentionally. It took us a minute to remember that Jessica was working at the clinic tonight. She'd be able to come and check and get a doctor if it was nee

Troi“We can handle our part and arrange for warriors to keep Colm company,” we responded feeling almost as anxious as we did when we were about to tell Patrick about the ceremony. “But he isn’t going to like this new arrangement. Especially the parts that mean he has to be near us. Someone else will need to explain that tidbit to him.”“You won’t need to be physically beside him at all times once we let him out of the initial phase where we are unsure of Colm’s response. We would just need you close enough to offer assistance if he loses control,” Dr. Slater advised. “While he is on bed rest, we can monitor him and keep him calm and stabilized. We will call if we need you to come in so stay close. You’d only have to be near until he regains consciousness so that you can explain the situ

???Our newest conquest in the Flowing Waters territory was very successful. The son of the Beta actually gave us the intel to take down the pack and brought many wolves over with him. This included almost half of his former pack's warriors. Though this only amounted to a dozen, they were well trained and supplied droves of information on nearby packs that have already proven useful to our cause.I can tell Teddy will prove to be a valuable member of our group. He understands our cause better than most, having been under the thumb of a stubborn Alpha and his insipid daughter his whole life. When they were kids, the Alpha and Beta expected their kids would end up mates and Teddy would take over the pack. However, when both of them came of age and neither found their mate, this plan was abruptly abandoned and his Alpha decided to try and find his daughte
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 91: Rude Awakening
PatrickPatrick’s indignation upon waking up into his new circumstances was indescribable. Not only did he find out his weak, pathetic wolf had nearly killed him and would have to be given freedoms to pacify it, but he was going to be forced to remain near his twin at all times until the situation was resolved. He wouldn’t have believed it at all when the doctors filled in what happened, but his mother reluctantly confirmed the situation to him when they left the room. She even added that Trajan was the one who saved him which is why they were making the rule about being near Moira.He still struggled to come to terms with it and argued that Moira had caused his problem by trying to manipulate him into accepting her as his Alpha and forcing Colm into his behavior. His mother looked angry at this revelation and told him that the situation in

NarratorPatrick tried to keep away from Troi as much as he could during the earliest stages of his recovery. In the hospital he could always pretend to be tired if he didn’t want to interact and Troi would leave his room. Usually they spent time visiting with other patients or assisting with the volunteer work instead of hovering around him. He was thankful for this until he heard some of the nurses discussing how impressed they were with Troi’s interactions with some of the younger child patients. Listening to all of the gushing over his twin caused another episode they needed to save him from which ended up making him more melancholy.After almost a week he was free to return home, but was not able to go back to school yet. While he had gone several days without an episode and had started being able to shift more easily, Colm would still
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 93: The Search
TroiThe sun came up, and we couldn't smell our mate. We showered and dressed and we couldn't smell our mate. There was no mate in the kitchen or dining room or on the way to school. No mate rode with us on the bus.People spoke but we didn't listen.We walked every hallway and went through every building before going to our first class. Finally we had to accept there was no mate at school. We sat through our classes but couldn't focus. We didn't eat lunch or go to Judo practice after school.All throughout the day, random people would come up really close to us to try and get us to catch their scent. Ever since we were named heir to the Alpha of Grey Peak, people had been going out of their way to get our attention and suck up. Now it was worse as they tried to
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 94: Reconnaissance
EnvyI couldn't find fault with the security surrounding Grey Peak. Their preparations started on the border of High Valley with checks there and then again as we crossed into the Grey Peak territory. Inside there we had several more stops and directions down different roads as we were guided to a lodge or inn outside of their residential area. It must be used often for guests as the rooms were modern and well appointed with plenty of staff to assist visitors.Teddy and I had a two bedroom suite to ourselves and were told our “guard” would be staying in the barracks on the lowest floor and could be summoned through a bell system in our front room. There were large windows and a balcony outside the main room. The she-wolf who brought us to our quarters offered to bring up a late dinner or draw baths for us as we got settled in. We accepted h
Alpha of the Peak Chapter 95: Periphery
TroiWe couldn't move fast enough to get out from between Patrick and his mate. As we jumped aside, she stepped forward and slowly reached for him. He stood and took her hand gently, never breaking eye contact. There was a feeling of electricity between the two as they just stood and stared.She was about average height for a she-wolf and stood eye-to-eye with Patrick. She wasn't dressed like many of the other ladies in attendance. Many were dripping with jewels and had elaborate hairstyles and clearly spent tons on their dresses. She wore a simple dress that suited her well and her hair was in a pretty, twisted bun.We hoped these were good signs. Maybe she could help ground Patrick and encourage him to bond with Colm. Maybe she wouldn't be all tied up in expectations like our mother's and could help him b
