???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

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

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

PatrickI was so glad to be out of school the morning after my birthday party. As soon as I found Trisha, I couldn't imagine being away from her for a few hours, much less an entire day. Luckily mother planned ahead and had one of the guest suites ready for her. We were able to talk late into the night before I showed her around the packhouse and said goodnight. She was one floor below me, but it felt like miles as I made my way up to my own room.I couldn't sleep with all the excitement over her being so near and got up a few times to go to her room, but stopped myself before I made it out the door. As soon as the sun was up, I rushed down to escort her to breakfast. She must have had a long night too since she was already up and dressed when I knocked.She looked just as amazing in her regular clothes and

Alpha DarrenThe clock struck six and I realized I hadn’t even had lunch. Everything today seemed to have run together and taken far too long. I had hoped to get to spend lunch with Patrick and his new mate, but Fallon wanted some alone time with them. I still went running with Colm while Fallon stayed with his mate and her packmates, but we didn’t get a chance to speak with Colm behaving as agitated as he was being away from his unmarked mate.Colm was still not reaching out to Patrick. I could tell that Patrick could read his agitation, but I think he dismissed it as Colm wanting to mate and mark Trisha. Really the wolf didn’t like her being out of his sight and wanted to be there to protect her more than anything, but he just wasn’t relaying that information. The fact that Patrick left her with two unmated males actually surp
