Chapter 8
Making it to the border of the winters pack we are met by guards. Three men in cameo stop us at the gate. Checking our id’s and papers to be on the property. Making copies of our id’s for the computer and printing id’s and passes for parking and to be on the territory. The alpha of alphas takes security serious. I like the idea of a gated community but then it wouldn't work for us as we use the land to raise cattle and horses. We also have a vegetable garden and pigs. The black rose pack lands looks like a giant farm/ ranch. Most packs believe that out packhouse and territory is a decoy as the packhouse looks small on the outside. But on the inside there is an elevator and stairs leading down into the earth. Hidden in plan sight.
Given a map and sent through the gate towards our dorm. Three story cinder brick building sits in front of me. The first floor is glass walls through out several rooms filled with different weight machines and weights. Following the lower floor to the side of the building that has walls. Must be the locker rooms.linking Ty as I grab my bag from the back “with as mush money as we donate every year you would think they would be up to date with equipment.” “ya I seen that two. But maybe we are the only pack that donates as much as we do?” okay so he made sense. Father and grandfather had set up a some charity that donates to the education and combat training at the academy. All alphas and betas go here for four years. The whole winters pack attends the main school along with other small packs close by. I also know that each pack donates to the academy. We give every year though its not said its almost implied that's its tuition for the alpha and beta training and everything we need while here. I also know that grandfather set the charity up so that smaller packs could donate what they could and then we would cut a big check to the academy. This made sure all alpha and beta heirs get the proper training.
Most packs no longer know the reason for this training but my family keeps really good records. The winters stared this program as a way to increase their guard without having to use more of the winters pack to do so. Most of the winters pack believe that because they are in the royal pack they are better than the rest of us. What Ty and I have decided is that they are setting themselves up to lose the throne. They are making their pack weak by using other packs for the guard. If war was to break out between the packs the black rose pack would come out on top. Like every other pack we send out twenty warriors to train and serve for a year on the royal guard. We then take that training and add anything new that works for us into our training programs. What the other packs do not know is that every wolf over the age of 13 train to kill. My grandfather lost a few wolves due to them not being trained. Father did to but changed that. When she-wolves and pups started going missing without a trace. Father made it mandatory for all wolves to train. Never will we be caught off guard again. If other packs did the same and a war was to break out. The packs have strong defensive but the royal guard is made up mostly of other pack wolves. Where do those wolves loyalties lay with the royal pack or their pack? For any black rose member our loyalty is blood deep. The blood in my veins is the same as that of any wolf in my pack. So I would leave alpha winters to the rogues if it meant my pack was safe. Can the royal pack say that?
“as you can see the academy has state of the art equipment for the students to use at any time of the day or night.” a nasally self important voice says behind me. Looking at Ty I raise a brow, “big guy blonde blue eyes chip on his shoulder so I am gonna go with Apollo winters.” Ty links groaning in the link I turn and smile. “be nice. Bite your stupid tongue.” I tell myself “only the best for the future of wolves don’t you think …….?” he pauses telling me he has no Idea who we are. So I introduce us “future alpha Philip Samuels and my future beta Tyler black from the black rose pack.” I hold my arm out to him. He looks down at it and wrinkles his nose. What the fuck was that? Looking at my hand nope clean so what the fuck? Looking at him he is sneering at me. “oh I don’t know why your little pack still tries. You are always gonna be a burden on us. Maybe when I take over I will disband your little pack. We can run a farm just as good as you.” my hands turning to fist my claws slipping out cutting into my hands. I can feel them slicing in. The only thing I can smell is a rotten egg odor of disgust heavy in the air. Gritting my teeth I just bow my head to him and wait for him to leave. “breath Phil. He is talking out of his ass. This shows he knows nothing about the packs.” Ty is rushing through the link. Adding things to calm me down more like heading into the local bar and see what fun can be had tonight. The thought of some kind of stress release has me relaxing a little. “you know if I wanted I could probably take him out.” I fume in the link with Ty. Chuckling he shakes his head as we head up the stairs. “he cant see past his nose.” he tells me. Talking through the link as we make our way up to the third floor where our room is. A heaviness covers me the second we stepped onto to the third floor. “the air feels thick” I link or try and link. I can feel that Ty is there but the link just cant connect. We both stop and look at each other

Shaking my head I nod to the door with our names on it. Opening the door and walking in. Ty shuts the door behind him and a snap is felt in my chest. Taking my breath away I stumble back a step. Ty falling back into the door. “DA fuck?” I mumble “what the hell was that.
