The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 76: Grace
By the end of the week, everyone seemed to have settled into their new roles. All of the omegas were medically cleared and positions within the pack were found for them. I met with Cammy after the Lead Omega in the kitchen at my father’s pack asked if she could split shifts with her. “Cammy, I wanted to talk to you about Melinda’s request to split shifts. I don’t want you to feel like I’m undermining you or your role, but I was thinking that it would be good for you to have more time in your day.” I say when we meet in my office. “Actually Luna, I had wanted to talk with you about something else and this is the perfect time. I know that many people in the pack are getting the opportunity to open a business and I wanted to talk to you about the possibility of me doing that as well.” “What kind of business are you thinking of starting, Cammy?” “Well, Luna, I’ve always wanted to open my own diner. I’m good at managing the kitchens and I know how to schedule staff. I’ve been playing ar
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 77: Eli
The week after the mate gathering, we continue our crazy work schedule but also prepare to have King Ailduin and Prince Aolis in our pack for the next training session. There are some adjustment issues that either I or Grace have addressed. Some pack members didn’t think we were serious about punishing them for being verbally aggressive to other pack members. It’s a good thing a couple of the cells had been cleaned out. It gave me a chance to give those individuals a night to think about their choices and whether or not they want to continue in this pack. Grace had pulled some of the new pack members in to assist with the cleaning and restocking of the bunkers and safe rooms. Now that we have more members and many are omegas that would not be required to fight in a battle, we will need as much space as this pack has available in the event of another hunter attack. Liam and Rik talked to different supernatural beings and everyone has heard the rumblings of the hunters taking supernatu

I wipe my eyes as Thomas and Tula head inside. Tula is such a sweet sprite. Well, they all are, but there is something about her that has pulled at my heart ever since I met her. “I don’t know how we can thank you Ailduin.” I say, walking over to him. “There is no need. You are a leader of your pack. You would do anything in your power to help those that look to you for guidance and protection. I am the same. My gifts are just different than yours, Grace. Or, at least, somewhat different.” “Now,” he says, before turning to the other sprites, “did anyone else need my assistance before I begin my training with the Guardians?” He asks. “Sir King Ailduin, sir. We were wondering if there would be any more time we could spend with you while you are here.” “We just want to be near you.” “We won’t be a bother.” “We could help, if you need us.” I can feel Eli’s patience starting to wane, so I jump in. “How about you all join us for dinner this evening. We’ll plan to eat out back here a
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 79: Eli
Dinner was a loud and chaotic affair. The sprites were back to their incessant back and forth chatter. I don’t know how Grace can have conversations with them and not get a headache, but my amazing mate takes on the roll of hostess and inserts herself in the conversations with the sprites. Angel and Cara seem to have the same ease interacting with the sprites. Liam on the other hand, makes me look like I have the patience of a saint. He has no tolerance for their chatter at all. Rik falls somewhere in between us and our mates. I watch as Aolis dotes on Lily. She’s still too young to really give him attention, but he seems to enjoy making her laugh. “Is it weird that you already know who Lily’s mate is?” I ask Rik. He looks over at Aolis, playing with his daughter. “Right now, it’s fine. As she gets older, I know it will be harder for me and I’ll have to set serious boundaries. Here I was, worried I’d have to fight with Liam about his son messing with my little girl. Instead, I get fa
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 80: Grace
I knew it! I knew Anastasia and Ailduin were mates! Now, we just need to see how this plays out. In an instant, Ailduin has moved forward and has Anastasia in his arms. “King Ailduin, may I introduce you to Alpha Anastasia. Anastasia, this is King Ailduin.” “King?” Alpha Christopher says, looking at his daughter in the arms of her mate before turning to me. “Ailduin is the fae king.” I reply. “How is this possible? I thought you only get one mate in a lifetime.” Ailduin says, his voice thick of awe. He hasn’t looked away from Anastasia. She tenses in his arms. “You’re already mated?” He shakes his head. “No, I was, years ago, but she was taken from me.” He looks around at all of us. "How?" “You’ve lived more than one lifetime by our standards.” Rik says. “And werewolves have second chance mates. It’s not common, but it does happen. Maybe the fae do as well.” “Perhaps you would like someplace more private to get to know each other.” I say, gesturing to them to follow me. “I’m s
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 81: Eli
Well, I guess we can all assume that Ailduin and Anastasia have completed their mate bond. I’m not sure what else could make a man happy enough to cause this sort of change in the environment. I'd like to be aggravated about it, but since it's not a bad thing, I know that if I had the power, the entire world would have shifted when I mated with Grace, I can’t really say anything. As everyone is adjusting to the fact that happy fae royalty means a plush landscape, Alpha Christopher comes out of the forest, looking a bit worse for wear. His hair is going in all different directions, he has pieces of what I think are twigs in his hair and on his clothes. He looks like either he or his wolf have been rolling around on the forest floor. Knowing the effect the sprites have, I’m guessing I’m not far off the mark. “Alpha Christopher.” Grace says, looking a bit alarmed. “Is everything alright.” “Dear goddess above, those sprites.” He turns and we see Fanella at the edge of the forest, waving
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 82: Grace
I knew Eli was an Alpha, or at least descended from Alphas before he took over as one. He’s more of a leader than many Alphas I’ve known, my own father included. But it was nice to have confirmation and to be able to show him that he isn’t the fake Alpha to this pack that he sometimes feels he is, even now. He is the real deal. He always has been. The next day, Eli and I drive north two hours to meet up with Benny. I didn’t want him driving all the way to the pack if he ends up running and screaming after we tell him what we are. Eli found a small town with an even smaller diner where we could meet and have some privacy to talk. We arrived first and got a table in the corner. I smile at Eli thinking of the time we were on the run and we had breakfast in a diner. “Why are you looking at me like that, baby?” He asks me. “You’re sitting the exact same way you were that time we were being chased by the red wolves. You remember, we were eating breakfast and you saw the shifter you’d hea
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 83: Eli
It’s been a couple of months since Benny joined our pack. It's is really coming along now. Most of our pack members have homes that are either complete or in the final stages of completion. Main street stores are complete, and we’ve started building another set of stores in the expansion portion of the pack, making it easier for those members that chose to live farther away from the packhouse to get supplies when needed. Grace and I started having monthly pack meetings, keeping everyone up to date, providing any announcements and using that time to add new members to the pack, whether they are wolves coming of age, or people who have come to our pack looking for a safe place to live. Ailduin comes for training every two weeks. He brings Anastasia so she can see her father. Alpha Christopher spoke to his Beta when he returned with Fanella. He set up an Alpha challenge and his Beta’s son won, as expected. He took a month to help transition the duties to the new Alpha and then he and Fa
