Now I hear not only Micheal behind me, but Ansel, and Julian as well. Julian may be new to the group, but he is also upset at a man challenging a woman half his size. But I don't mind, because if I loose it won't matter to me much, since I am a girl, and half his size. However if I win... He would never be able to live it down.  My eyes narrow on Chad. "Alright." I say. "I accept your challenge. Standard council challenge rules." I tell him.  Standard rules state that we fight until one of us is unable to continue, either the loser dies, or is knocked unconsious. We do not stop the fight for injury, and forfeiture is not allowed.  Since Chad is an alpha (at least for now) if he was to lose the challenge to another male, that male would be able to claim Chad's pack, and take over as alpha. However, as a female, even if i win I will not be able to claim his rank as my prize.  It doesn't really matter to me tho, since I know that I wi

The party is in full swing, people are dancing, eating, and having fun. On Miss Frankie's suggestion I hired a group of teen's, their garage band is playing now, a mix of country, rock, emo, and pop music, the pack seems to be loving it.  The council walks in, in their robes, looking intimidating. They all sit together, not talking to the pack members. I would say it is rude, but they are the council, and this is sorta just how they are.  After a few minutes I notice that Matteo is not among the council members, since he is staying here to help me adjust he is dressed in regular clothes now, blending into the crowd. I am not sure this plan will work, since anyone here can smell the council rank on him, but at least it has a chance of tricking the witch if she is watching.  I wonder if we should light the bonfire? I turn to Ansel, to ask him for a lighter, but before I can get the words out Julian walks over with two warriors. They light the fir

Micheal returns followed by Miss Frankie, who is dressed in her night things."Oh no! I didn't realize how late it got miss frankie, I am so sorry! Unfortunatly this can't wait, I need to ask you a few questions... I trust you, so I want your account of what has been happening here in your pack, and with your pack. What has changed for you in the last 2 years?" I ask her.She considers me for a long moment before she answers "Well, in the last couple of years there have been a lot of changes. I am sorry to say that I knew about the Omega... found out about 3 months ago. I was filling in doing laundry while some of the girls where out sick. They are all young, none of them knew what the smell was, thought it was just sour milk or something... they had no idea, never having smelt an omega before. I only knew because my mother made it a point to educate all 8 of her children on things like that so we would never be complicate in the suffering of others. When I found out I

As we are helping clean up the aftermath of the council's going away party, I look over to see my father and mother. They are seated next to each other, but they look distant. Neither has spoken to the other all night, they do not look at each other. Thinking back to my childhood I can not reember a time when they acted like this. My father was always doting on my mother, he held her hand anytime they were near each other. To see them acting like this, like they are strangers is odd. Suddenly my father is on his feet, running across the dance floor towards a girl, I think she said her name was Molly. The trash bag she was filling up split in half, before anyone else could react my father was on the girl. His claws extended, he raked his claws down her face, and across her stomach. He tears the girl to shreds. I am caught completely off guard, I never would have thought my father would react like this... I don't know what to do now.Before I can think of what to d

I walk my mother up to her room before I head over to meet up with Annie. I wanted to make sure that she got their safe, because she seems rather unstable on her feet. As I make my way over to the hospital I pass pack members gathering here and there, it seem that the whole pack is disoriented, I am unsure if this means the spell is broken, or if something else is happening. I walk into the waiting room, Paula is sitting there waiting for me, she jumps to her feet as soon as I walk in."Hey Ansel, they are this way. Matteo just went into the room, he was rather upset at being made to wait and I think offended that he was asked to meet like this in the first place." Paula tells me. "Right, I am sure he resents not being the one in charge, coming from the council he must be used to being the top dog." I say with a smirk, I am going to enjoy bringing him down a peg. Or at least that is what I thought, until I entered the room,
