Chapter 6
“what the fuck? Holy mother of spider cows, dad you need a collar with a bell on it too.” how did he get the drop on me well easy I wasn’t paying attention I was too busy fighting with the cow. My father just chuckles as he takes the bag of cinnybonnies from me. Tossing a few to the cows. “hey those were for the road” I huff. “do you think that Mary would let you leave without a bunch of these.” he asks raising a brow. Mary has been teaching the younger staff how to make these little treats. My mother fell in love with them when she was my age and when she became pregnant with my brother had horrible cravings for them. So when Mary came back with the secret recipe and started making them for my mother and the pack. That they soon became a staple here. My mother and father decided to invest in their creator of them and opened a bakery for her to run as she sees fit. The pack got a very small amount from the bakery at first. When it expanded to several locations across the land. Bonnie had wanted to give my parents more stake in the company or shares but they refused to say cinnybonnies was hers. they were happy with the small stake they had. Why did they do this simply well? Why not? They had the funds to help someone out at little risk to them. Why would they want to muddy a perfectly working relationship? And they still hold rights over the recipe. Bonnie signed it over to them when they gave her the bakery. No company or person other than Samuels or Bonnie can use the name and recipe. Well, it will follow her family line like ours does but you get it.
“so why are you hiding in the barn?” “pfft, hiding who says I am hiding?” I wave my hand at him before stealing my bag of crack back. “let's see I saw rose drive off with rosemary and Eris. Then I saw Matilda scurry by heading to the stables. Then I saw your sister stomping back holding her heels and hair a mess telling me she shifted to run back here. Then you're here yelling at snow for being too dark in the shadows of her barn. So again why are you hiding?” sticking my tongue out at his back as he opens one of the feed barrels. “seen that” stupid alpha. “okay well I didn’t want to go to the stupid party to start with. then you know they invited all the alpha and alpha heirs. We both know why. And I am in no hurry to find my mate. So you having us head north tonight was music to my ears. But well I didn’t tell Eris because “ I didn’t need to Finnish that as we hear “ENOY! GET YOUR BLACK FUZZY ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW! I MEAN IT. GET YOUR STINKY ASS OUT HERE. DON’T MAKE ME COME IN THERE!” gulping see that's what I was trying to avoid. I hate Matilda. Stupid spider. “dad do something. She's so mad I can feel it from here and I am trying so hard not to feed into it.” looking down at me he nods. “out the back I will deal with your sister.” with a nod I take off through the back of the barn. A baying in the distance tells me Freya is heading this way. I can hear Eris yelling at our father and my father's calming tone. I wonder if my mother was as hot-headed as my sister and that's where he got the calming skills from. Then I think oh man I feel sorry for her mate.
Looping back around I see two big vans heading this way so I stop by the side of the gravel road. Coming to a stop in the first van is our first pick for the warrior. James son of Jillian our fire elemental. Her brother Kevin's daughter was our other top pick for warriors. Like the rest of their family, they have a special connection to the earth or fire. But what was new was the other elements started showing up Kevin and Jillian's pups. But that's not why we wanted them. They both have been top of the class all through school and in training. When we spar for fun they always make it to jasmine. They almost beat her once. I know you wondering well of course they have some kind of magic in them. But nope it wolfs only sparing. They can't. A special ring had been created long ago for just this reason. Well okay, not for this reason but when someone challenges an alpha for title and pack. Not like a war alpha against alpha. More like you know what I think I could do better as alpha so let me challenge for the spot. When this happens to us because of our long line of goddess blessings one of my long list grandfathers thought it is fair if it was wolf against the wolf. No added power from being an alpha or blessings you might have from the goddess. Stripped of everything to fight for everything. To have it all you have to start with nothing. the winner of the fight walks out with the alpha power. The ring has been used several times my family has always walked out.
I have heard talk of the heirs banning together to find a beta they approve to challenge me for the pack. Little do they know I train in that ring on a regular to make sure training never triggers my gifts. And not one of them knows of my gifts. I have best every one of my masters in every field of combat I took. For this reason, they have brought in experts in combat nonleather weapons. A witch that lives with the pack wants to try and immune the weapon that calls to me with my power and see if I can use that as an extension of my power as well. I won't lie and say I’m not excited to try all that. What I am is annoyed that I have to wait longer now. So if they want to challenge me for my title and pack I say
Bring it bitches.
