The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 50: Grace
Eli and I went to our room early. This weekend, while taxing emotionally, has been good for us. It’s the most time we’ve been able to spend together in weeks and when we return to our pack, we’ll have to get right back to long, tiring days. I keep my promise from earlier and finish what I started. It feels good to reconnect with my mate, to be able to shut out the world and let it just be him and me for a couple of hours. The next morning, we both wake feeling refreshed and reconnected. We join everyone downstairs for breakfast before starting to work on pooling our Guardian strengths. Rik wasn’t happy about having Cara participate, so Ailduin had me and Angel work together. “Angel, since you’ve done this with Cara, let’s see if you can direct Grace’s power as well.” Angel walks up to me, taking my hand. “Ready?” I nod, looking at Rik’s warriors that volunteered to be part of our experiment. Ailduin tells us to start with half of the warriors being protected by Angel and the othe

When we arrived home, we were greeted with howls and yips of happiness from the pack. We found out quickly that more people had come to our borders seeking shelter. One group required Sirona’s medical attention due to their significant injuries. Not only had they run from their pack to avoid the persecution of an unjust Alpha, but they had been attacked by rogues. Noah told us that she had them in a portion of the pack hospital that has been rebuilt. It wasn’t ideal, since the hospital was still under construction, but it gave her the ability to treat them and keep the family of four together. Eli and I went to see the two other groups that had arrived, two adult sisters and a young boy and his sister. They had lost their parents after being banished and just happened to find us. Cammy and Summer made sure they had food and rooms in the packhouse. “We need to build an children's home.” Amber tells me. “They won’t be the only children that come to us without parents. We have the spac

Grace returned from the pack gathering with an additional 16 pack members. Six of those are warriors and the other ten are omegas. Carlos finds a place for the warriors and begins training them, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. It’s an adjustment for them at first, our pack being so young and needing so much work. But eventually, they appreciate being needed and begin to enjoy building a life with their mate literally from the ground up. Grace easily found places for the omegas, especially as our pack is growing. They were excited to be able to build their own houses and if they have a skill, they have the ability to expand that into a business if they choose. The ten pack members that went to spend time with their mates chose to stay in those packs. Once they realized that Rik, Cara, Liam and Angel are good leaders, they were more comfortable staying. It helps that they were evenly divided between the packs and therefore have some friendly faces around them. Over the next
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 53: Grace
As Eli and I head to the border, I have an idea of what this is. Over the past couple of months, both Cara and Angel have had, mostly vampires but other supernaturals as well, come to pledge their allegiance to the Guardians of the Realm, as they call us. Word of Angel's imprisonment and the Guardian's defeat of the vampires has spread quickly. However, when we arrive, I instantly understand why Carlos called them ‘creatures’. I have no idea what these little fairy looking supes are. There are five of them and they are flying around with their little wings. They can’t be more than about a foot tall, if that. They are shining and look like they are lit from within. They have strange, flowing gown-like clothes that look like they were made from plant leaves. Their hair and bodies seem almost opaque, and probably would be if not for the bizarre light shining from them. “Oh, I knew she’d be more beautiful up close.” One of the two males says in a stage whisper, looking at me. “Oh, and h

Fucking woodland sprites. I’ve never met a sprite before, and I could have gone my entire life without that shitshow. Of course, now, Grace has offered to let them spend time with our wolves. I'll have to order the patrols to stay on their watch and not go off having literal quickies with these damn creatures! “Do you think there’s any possibility that wolves could be mated to sprites?” Grace asks me as we head back to the packhouse. Alexander had shifted, much to the delight of the sprite twins, and asked if they wanted to meet him at the pond when he got off duty. I’m surprised they were able to answer through all their drool. “I have no idea. I would never have guessed that a 10-year old fae prince would be mated to a Guardian’s daughter, so what do I know?” I say, still feeling grumpy about this whole mess. Grace takes me hand and pulls me to a stop. She runs her fingers over my temples and into my hair. “Let it go, my love. They aren’t a danger. It’s just like being in a room w
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 55: Grace
A couple of days after we met the woodland sprites, we got word that Angel had her baby. A beautiful, healthy baby boy that they named after her father and Clint, who had acted like a second father to her. Eli had me spar with the tournament contestants until he made his final cuts. We ended up with two that had moved from Rik’s pack, two from Liam’s pack and the other 16 were from our pack. Eli had begun preparations for us to be gone for nearly a week. The tournament lasts four days, plus it would take us a day to travel each way and then there was a ceremony at the end announcing the top five packs. Eli had been in communication with Rik and Liam. Our packs would be on-call to help each other. Rik and Liam were both leaving their Gammas in charge. We had not assigned a Lead Warrior, but Rik was bringing Trevor and Liam was bringing his new Lead Warrior. The tournament would start on day one with warriors. Day two would be for Lead Warriors and Gammas, day three was for Betas and

I call for help and more pack members come to assist with the injured. Several of our wolves are unconscious and many are not healing because of bullet wounds. Only one looks to have been injured severely and I send him back to the pack first. I’m worried about Grace, but she seems unperturbed by the bullet in her shoulder. However, I’ll feel better once it’s out. I know we were both hit by wolfsbane arrows, but other than the injury taking a bit longer than normal to heal, I’m not feeling the effects of the poison. I’m beginning to truly understand Rik and Liam’s excitement when they talk about the gifts of being mated to a Guardian. I’m stronger and my body heals faster. After a battle like this, I should be feeling exhausted and sore, but I don’t. I almost feel rejuvenated. When we get back to the pack, we head straight to the pack hospital. When we arrive it’s chaos, and not just because it’s full of wolves needing medical assistance. Connor, Thomas’s wolf is standing, guarding….
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 57: Grace
The whole situation between Thomas and Tula was stressful and bizarre. I’m thankful to my mate, who really doesn’t like the sprites, for calling King Ailduin and finding out how to save Tula.As Thomas leaves, taking Tula with him to his room at the packhouse to recover, I turn to my mate. “Have I told you lately how amazing you are and how lucky I am to be mated to you?” I tell him, meaning every word.He pulls me to him. “I love you too, but you aren’t going to be feeling lucky when I tell you that I want that damn bullet out of your shoulder now and I don’t want any more interruptions.”I chuckle. “Nope, still feeling lucky.” I say, turning to see if any of the medical students are free. While we were dealing with Tula, they have been running around helping the pack members that were injured.“I can get that out.” Sirona says, escorting us to a room. I sit while she gets her scalpel and forceps. As she’s working Carlos comes in. “We have 15 wolves that were injured, twelve will be
