Grounding for Celebrations
There wasn’t any point in further searching. The baskets weren’t there. “I ordered eight baskets. This is the invoice they left. How did I miss it? There’s a note on the back. Who writes on the reverse? The last half of the shipment is coming separately. They don’t say a date we’ll receive it on.” Bonnie frowned in a puzzled manner at the back of the invoice.
“We’ll work with this.” Jessie didn’t think of her words’ meaning. What she’s thinking? This was Bonnie’s event. She was helping. “I’ll pass on the message about the baskets and tell everyone to break for lunch.”
“Yes, lunch is ready in the

Ashley watched Hector pace in the gloom. She contemplated what she could say to save her skin. “Blame your sister, Jessie, and Alrick too. We’re trapped here because of them. Think about what they’ve done.” Ashley needed him distracted away from her. Her safety hinged on distracting Hector. “You can’t keep your mouth shut. Can you?” His voice was more growl than words. She bet his teeth were closer to a wolf’s than a human’s. “Jessie’s screwed up everything. She conned your father to get everything. Then she wouldn’t share with you.” The Gods only knew what ‘everything,’ was. “Then she stole Alrick from me. Just because she could. You can’t let her have this. It’s wrong. What’s your plan? Alrick owns everything. He’s got what’s you
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Setting Up the Future
Jessie sat at Alrick’s desk and watched him shuffle papers, talk to people on the phone. This was her future. Ashley might change Alrick’s mind. She knew mates were just that. Forever and permanent. But her parents taught her that mates could still regret their choice in mates. Just because of great sex. Didn’t mean your partner was. Alrick confirmed moments ago that Hector was in fact her half-brother. The Iron Hill Pack wasn’t his but Jessie’s and whoever she mated. So her parents experienced traumatic events of which the other couldn’t forgive or forget. Would that happen to Alrick and her? She was useless to him because she was an uneducated bumpkin. Why did her father believe girls were useless? “Jessie, we’ve got confirmation. Your father put the mines into y
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Things are Coming Together
Ashley slunk through the darkness. This was the basement, but not a section she’d explored. Now she stumbled her way through by her phone’s faint light.She wondered if they threw anything away. She couldn’t find a path through the trash and abandoned things. The few items she’d looked at show damage and wouldn’t be useable. Moving through, Ashley prayed her phone’s battery would survive. She’d never seen so many old-fashioned phones in one place. Glancing around to find a new place to stop, she’d seen no less than seven shattered telephones. Either they were accident prone, or someone needed anger management. She’d not hear of it for shifters. Some animals lay closer to the surface of the person’s nature. Those often were the ones who’d become rogue. Rogue was a polite word for becoming a feral. Where the animal nature became domin

“Jessie, can you meet me in the office? We need to talk about several things with Craig. Before we announce anything to the pack.” Alrick said into his cellphone when his mate accepted his call. She still wasn’t good at using it. But at least she could answer and make a call.“Yes, sure. I’m finishing up here with the volunteers. Give me ten to fifteen minutes.” Jessie looked around as everyone snacked. She’d dropped a bombshell on them. Many didn’t have a chance yet to react to her words. Jessie hated doing this. She felt she was mean to them. How could she cope with everything? She needed the support of the pack. “Now I need to know where I stand with everyone. Things will change and I understand that not everyone will like it. There’re things coming from outside the pack. It’ll change the dynamic. I can’t explain it yet, but we’re able to help others survive something horrible coming. I need to k
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Explanations
Craig disconnected the call to Charles. Happily informing him Ashley was fine and Sal would bring her home. He avoided informing Charles of Sal’s mate declaration. Craig would not deal with that mess. Next on the hit list was informing Alrick. They’d discovered two more of Hector’s missing men. Sure enough, they saw his lost sanity. Add that to the fact they’re now on the losing side. They’d used it as a reason to cut and run. However, without their bikes, they didn’t get very far. The unusual amount of snow made the bike unusable. So they’d holed up in a couple of hiding spots. The caveat was Hector, being in custody. Rachel informed Craig they’re calling the hunt now. They’d needed additional information from the new prisoners. No point in searching for non

Miss Mabel sat across the dinner table from Doc. J.J. He’d brought dinner like he did most nights when his work didn’t require his attention. The man’s heart was golden. She admired how he kept up with it as old as he was. “So, tell me again. Jessie is good? She’s happy? That girl’s been holding things together for too long for everyone else. The Alpha’s learnt to treat her better?” She’d lived so long. All she could do was live vicariously through other’s stories. Many of those stories were repeats of generations past. It was better than television. Most of the time, anyway. “I’m not sure yet. I see her tomorrow for the first tim

Ashley talked herself into what she’d expect would happen when Sal talked to her father. They’d never talked about her finding a mate or how their relationship would change. He’d told her many times that he lived for her, and she was his life. Even thinking about this, sent Ashley’s world into cataclysmic shock. The guilt of her father’s perceived reaction was too much. She wasn’t ready to take a mate. It’s happening all too quickly. Sal is far too forceful. Ashley felt many confusing feelings toward many within the pack. Every decision she looked at didn’t make her happy. She kept running back to the safer options that she knew. She knew nothing about Sal. He could be a monster. She didn’t know. Sal sat there, trying not to grind his teeth. He
Serving the Alpha at His Whim Planning
Jessie sat listening to the two men talk. They discussed the situation and sweeping changes to the current pack formation. She couldn’t predict how the pack would react to this. They’d not settled from taking in the Iron Hill Pack. But what else could they do? They needed more members to expand. There were people looking for homes. Albeit not the people Alrick would choose. Could they get the pack to band together for this? It could benefit them. Or spectacularly fail. “So you have this part vaguely sketched out. You’ve started the process for housing. We’ll need to know housing placement. There’s also demolishing the buildings there now. Finishing the clean up the horror show. Then we’ll see about adding space for them to add sheep and free-range chickens. They can come in and
