LIAM: “I heard that.” I call from the middle of running the course. “I still say if he does it, so do I.” I call out. I am not going to be left out of it. I am going to help protect my sister. I hate the way that Mom and Dad have ignored her for so long. I just hope that wherever Jessie ends up that she will be better there than she has been here.
LILLY: “Trever, you can’t do the blood oath right now, you will have to wait until she is 18, or they will know that something happened, as either you will not be able to link your pack, or she will not be able to link us anymore, it is only because they are of the same pack that it worked for them, and it will work for Liam as well if it is what they both want.” I tell him. “See, even Nana says it would be ok.” Liam calls out from his second go-around on the course. I swear that boy, still being cheeky even when being disciplined. I just shake my head. “Then I will settle for marking her the other way, but either way, I am going to be able to link with her.” He says with determination.
BARETT: “Miss Lilly, may we meet Cinder?” I asked her, I have been curious to meet her, especially with the Marsh talks about her. “Why would you want to meet her?” she asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice. “It’s just that Marsh talks about you all the time, I sometimes think he may be a bit scared, or enamored, not sure which.” I tell her. And she laughs a good hearty laugh. “Or maybe both.” She says. She walks to the side of the house, and when she comes back, she has shifted into her wolf. She is magnificent, she is black, white, and tan, with a black outline of what looks like an ember on her left flank that is tannish in color, and she has the brightest green eyes I have ever seen on a wolf. “You have the ember birthmark.” Rachell says. She just nods her head. She turns and walks over to Keska and nuzzles her. “Can I be done now, Nana?” Liam calls out. Cinder just let out a yip at him, and he comes back over to join the rest of us. “Are you still able to run the course in wolf form?” Trent asked? And to answer him, she just took off at a dead run right at the course and ran it with ease, and was back to us in less time than the girls would have run it in. “Wow. No wonder Marsh talks about you the way he does.” I say. She just nods her head. With all of us sitting around admiring Cinder, Trever took the opportunity under the watchful eye of Cinder to bite Keska’s shoulder and lick the wound close.
BLAKE: “I remember hearing about that battle between the packs, but I never heard about the marking part of it.” I say out loud. “What do you remember?” Rachell asked. “That 4 packs were going against 1, but that one was bad, almost evil.” “Do you remember what pack it was? Or what happened to cause the war to happen?” My mate asked. “I remember that the pack was Stone Claw.” Before I could finish what I was going to say, Keska interrupted me. “Wait, do say anything else, please, I think Alpha Camron needs to hear what you have to say.” She tells me. “Ok,” I say and watch as she pulls out her phone and makes a call.
CAMRON: My phone is vibrating in my pocket, and I take it out, check the ID, and see that Keska is calling me. I look around to see where everyone is around me, and decide to step away to take her call, and I pull my Mate with me. “Hello, Keska, how may I help you this time?” I answer my phone with a slight chuckle in my voice. “You know your new pack member, and where she is from, well, there is some history that I think you may need to hear about their pack.” I hear her say in a very business-type voice. “Ok, where are you?” “Nana’s." "We will be there in 5 minutes.” I tell her and hang up. “Problems?” Cortney, my mate, asked me. “Not at the moment, but there could potentially be later.” I tell her. “You wanted to meet Keska, well, now you will get the chance, and her famous grandmother, at least according to Chase, my driver and guard.” I tell her. I see the smirk on her face with the reference to Chase. “Well, let’s go then.” She says. I get Chase’s attention. “We are going to Lilly’s.” I say, and his eyes light up like a kid in a candy store. I shake my head at him, but we head to Lilly’s house. As we approach the side gate, I call out. “Keska, I’m here with my mate and Chase.” “We are in the backyard.” She calls back. And Chase leads the way to the side gate, and we enter the backyard and see all three princes, their mates, the Cold Moon twins and their mate, Dutch, Mackie, Keska, Liam, and a wolf I have never seen before, and Stephen. The wolf is sitting next to Keska. “Hello everyone, I am Camron Alpha of Harvest Moon, this is my mate Cortney from Black Waters, and my guard and driver Chase. I make the introductions on my side.
BARETT: “Nice to meet you Alpha Camron, Luna Cortney, Chase. I am Prince Barett, Heir to the throne of the Golden Sun Pack, my mate alpha born Alisha from Dark Moon Pack, my brothers Trent, Trever, their mates alpha born Rachell from Burning Ember Pack, you already know Keska, royal 3rd born Gamma Dutch his mate Mackinzie from here, and of course Liam, also from Blue Cresent. I make the introductions for us. He shakes hands with each of us in turn as I make the introductions.
BLAKE: I make the introductions for us. “I am Blake, first alpha born, Cold Moon Pack, my twin Blane, our mate Beta born Star from here. He shakes hands with us as I make the introductions.
CAMRON: “Nice to make your acquaintance, some of you I have met before, but I know my mate has not had the opportunity to meet you yet, so thank you for the formal introductions.” I said after everyone was introduced. “I am assuming the wolf is Lilly?” “Yes, this is Cinder, she is Nana Lilly’s wolf.” Keska introduces her. “Hello, Cinder,” I say. She nods her head in my direction and then goes and starts to stalk Chase playfully. I have to chuckle at that. “So now that all the introductions are done, what’s the topic up for discussion?” I asked, “Stone Claw.” Keska says. “Okay...?” I draw it out with a bit of a question in my voice.
KESKA: I look to the twins and Star, “I know that you don’t owe me any allegiance, but I still would ask that what I say stays here with us.” I ask them. All three nod in my direction. “The others know this already, as they were part of the original incident. There was a she-wolf that was close to pack territory, not on it but close to it, she was in trouble. We heard the fighting when we were on our way to our Aikido lessons at the dojo.” I say as I point to the princes, Dutch, and their mates. “Prince Barett, Prince Trent, and Alpha Rachell went to investigate the fighting, They saved the she-wolf and her pup.” “But long story short, that she-wolf is mated to one of Alpha Camron’s warriors, she is from Stone Claw, and her story is not a good one. I will not repeat it, for it is not mine to do so, and I doubt that she would appreciate it. But as I know everyone here for the most part, I know that none of you would tolerate what happened to her in that pack, she lost a good friend yesterday as he was trying to help protect her and they killed him, please don’t ask the obvious question, as I do not know the answer to it. I just know that they were not rogues. But in turn, the princes and Rachell dispatched the ones who had killed her friend. I gave her sanctuary in the old hunting cabin in the north woods.” I finish telling the story. “So, since the topic is Stone Claw, even though it is past history I felt that alpha Camron should be aware of it, as we all know history has a habit of repeating itself, and if we need to be on the same page for this, I would rather we start it now rather than later so to be ahead of the game so to speak.” I say.
