In the Chains of the Alpha Pack Re-Structuring Meeting
It took Jaxon only half an hour to have everything set up and the necessary people showing up. The room was in an uproar as confusion reigned and they all tried to make sense of the scraps of information they’d discovered.After fifteen minutes, groups of wolves scattered the Pack Dining Room. They’d arranged themselves by department or job. Security with security and so on. Jaxon stood there and announced to the gathered crowd. “Please take notice of anyone missing for later. They have five minutes to get here before this begins. There will be a recording of the meeting made along with any notes taken. We ask that every group take notes and shares them with us afterward. We’ll ensure they keep everyone in the loop on this. It’ll be a genuine team effort, but I’ll let our Alpha to explain this fully to you and then we’ll go from there. So five minutes until we start. Please be ready. If anyone needs something to take notes, the stationary cabinet is at the back.”She-wolves usually us
In the Chains of the Alpha Getting Down to Brass Tacks
Tara came out of the meeting stunned by all that needed to happen to make these changes. Now, with notes in hand, she needed to make changes to several things. Before she held back doing anything and thought what she did was to a grand scale. What Tara learned in there was her effort weren’t enough. She must think larger and do a lot more.Her staff left, following her, and talking among themselves. They were all pleased their efforts were recognized, but unhappy that they criticized them as not going far enough. They were ready to get down to the brass tacks and get the changes made immediately.“They could be here as early as tomorrow. I say we should focus on the six immediately needed residences for now. Have them readied by morning if it’s possible and then get on with scheduling the rest of the spaces.” Betty tried to walk while making notes on the pad in her hands until she almost missed the turn and the corner wall in the face.“Mind where you’re going, geez the last thing tha
In the Chains of the Alpha Enter Lycan
Tara stood by the sight of where the mage portal would appear on the main floor of the club. It turned out that out-of-town supernatural clients could arrange to come and go from this portal area so they could avail themselves of the club. They verified all their credentials before they made the portal appointment with the mages. Today Tara watched the blue glow of the portal form. It was the first time she’d ever seen a portal in action. Now the Lycan would use the portal to arrive here. It was fascinating to see the blue glow open to swirling blobs of multi-coloured light. Tara now understood why Cal warned her of the feeling nauseous a little from the way the colours moved and shifted. Only moments later, several figures were seen making their way out of the portal. Each one carried a backpack or bag of some sort. Tara realized she could relate to these Lycan. Everything they owned was in those bags. Tara’s bag, she assumed, was still in the mote
In the Chains of the Alpha Old Habits Die Hard
Five Days LaterWith the Lycan settled into their homes. The scramble to get everything a wolf shifter needs to live comfortably for each one. Tara soon learned that the small she-lycan was still coming to grips with her ability to shift, her instincts and senses amplified as they were, and just the culture shock of how differently they live to humans. As she started life as a human before Hectric took her for their experiments. The files were correct. Each Lycan had unique experiences and needs. There was no way to create a blanket program to get them back to being a functional being.However, Eddie found that if he took her into the kitchens and gave her a little encouragement, she was an excellent baker, and he was an excellent assistant. The two began to haunt the kitchens to the point that Rachel assigned them both to work there. The little Lycan was educated as a baker in her human life and quite talented at it. Eddie seemed to have a natural talent for preparing foods and follo
In the Chains of the Alpha In Walked Grandma
“Tara, we held off on this to the point of being rude. We can’t back out again. It looks like we aren’t serious about opening the lines of communication with the Maple Grove Pack. We have to go. Now please get ready. It shouldn’t be a terrible drive if we leave soon.” Cal explained for the second time today. He’d lost count how many times he explained this to Tara. “You are strong enough to handle anything they might say or do. I’ll be right there, and I promise you I won’t accept them acting out against you in any way. If they try to do that, I’ll pull you out of there so fast everyone will have whiplash. Now go get ready.” Cal put some stress behind his last words, and he wasn’t surprised that he put a little of his presence behind it. He was frustrated and didn’t want to deal with her fears again.Tara had been running the gambit of those fears and now they were stuck on repeat. Cal was fairly certain he could now pick out a pattern on how they surfaced.“Fine, I’ll try to hurry.”
In the Chains of the Alpha It Takes Two
Tara hesitated for only a few breaths until her mind could catchup to what the old, she-wolf demanded and who she identified herself as. Her grandmother. This was someone that insisted Tara had roots and a family. Not just a male claiming her as one of his. She knew this she-wolf existed. Kole told her to expect to meet her. What she didn’t expect was the depth of surprise at there actually being a real person actually waiting to meet her. Really wanting to meet her, not just reluctantly there. “Go on Tara, she wants a hug. She really wants to know you’re real.” Cal whispered from behind her in encouragement. He probably was right. Touch and scent were so important to wolves. A scent could tell them so many things about the wolf. From their health, to pack, and even in some cases some wolves could recognize family by scent even if they were new to them. Which could cause all sorts of issues for others. Nothing like finding out that you’re a father by catchin
In the Chains of the Alpha Twenty Questions
Cal’s hand settled back on Tara’s shoulder, shocking her out of the daze she’d been in for several moments. “I’m sorry, this is something that took Tara completely by surprise. She’s going to need time to understand what it all means. What we’ve learned as we dealt this the scum who had her is that they taught her nothing about our world and what to expect. She’s been almost alone for most of her life. She raised a pup believing he was her younger brother. Before you ask, sadly he’s no blood relative, but we were able to save him as well. He’s finally able to settle within our pack. The wolf who claimed to be her father was murdered and the female, who is the male pup’s mother, is still missing. We gave Kole the information Tara could remember about her, and he’s given that to your investigator. But she has little understanding of what a pack or family.” Cal thought it best to get this out of the way so that Elaine and Elliott could understand why Tara isn’t jumping for joy a

“So there’s nothing special about how you were raised, pup?” Cal wasn’t sure what Stone was trying to get Tara to say, but it was annoying him. “If you want me to tell you, it was all rainbows and sunshine. It wasn’t. I don’t talk about the rest. What’s the point of rehashing it?” He hated hearing the annoyed tone Tara had in her voice because he could hear and almost feel her pain. “So you don’t want to talk about it?” “Why would anyone want to talk about stuff like that? It’s not like I have anything to be proud of.” Stone’s eyes narrowed at these words. “No sob story about how badly you were treated. No seeking comfort?” Tara sat there and returned the old wolf’s stare for stare before she simply said. “What would be the point?” “The point is to get attention, pup. To gain something you want.” Stone’s temper was surfacing now. “But that means I would have to want something from you. I am curious, though. What s
