The alpha's defiant mate

The Scouting

The next morning I woke up to the smell of eggs, bacon, french toast, and blueberry muffins. I took my

shower and hurried to get dressed. I ran down the stairs for the wonderful breakfast that I could smell

and couldn't wait to eat. I filled up my plate with my breakfast and sat down at the table and started

shoveling my breakfast into my mouth. Someone was knocking at the door and just for a little while this

morning I totally forgot about the group going out on the Scouting today. My mom made enough food

for everyone that was going with them today. A knot ended up being stuck in my stomach the rest of

the morning. I couldn't bare the thought of being alone without my parents by my side. It had already

been decided that April and her parents were supposed to stay with me while my parents were gone.

As soon as everyone was done eating they started getting into the big black van they decided to use

for the trip. My mom and dad hugged me and kissed me good-bye before they all left. I shifted into my

wolf, Shakira, and followed the van for a few miles not wanting to let my parents out of my sight. I

turned around and let Shakira take over and have a nice run in the woods around us to let out some of

the feelings we were feeling about being alone. From what we could tell it would take a days worth of

travel to get to the border of the Mountain of the Moon pack. At least I know my parents will be safe for

the next hour.

Axel drove while Roman, Nico, Leo, Caroline, and Malcolm sat in the back devising a plan. There's

really only one way to go about this and that is to speak directly to the Alpha of the Mountain of the

Moon pack. Hopefully, he will be an alpha that will talk and understand where we are coming from and

why we have taken such desperate measures on going about this. We were almost there and the

nerves in the van were getting edgy because none of us new what we were about to walk into. The last

thing that Malcolm and Caroline mentioned was that they needed to make sure they have a safe way of

life to raise Alexis and make sure nothing bad would ever happen to her for the rest of her lifetime.

The closer they get to the pack lands Axel slows the van down so that we can all get prepared just in

case this turns into a fight. Once they pulled up to the pack gates they were met there by six warriorsNôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

that were on guard. The main guard at the gate asked what business we had being at the pack lands

and who we were here to speak with or see. Axel explained that we were here to see the alpha of the

pack to be able to talk to him about some issues that they could only talk to him about. The guards

eyes glazed over for a minute and we realized he must be talking to his alpha and explaining

everything to him. After a little bit a very tall fit man and two other guards showed up at the gate. We

figured that the big guy must be the Alpha, since alpha's are known to be bigger in size and their wolf

even greater in size. The alpha introduced himself as Alpha Zack of the Mountain of the Moon pack.

We explained that we came here in peace and just wanted to talk to him about a few things that they

had been worried about. The alpha gave us entrance to go to the pack house and had us followed by

four warriors.

Once at the pack house we were invited in and were treated like we were regular guests that just

dropped in all the time. The Alpha, his Beta, and his Gamma met us at the dining room table so that we

could discuss why we had come to their pack. Malcolm spoke up, "we have come here to see if we can

seek asylum in your pack because we have families that don't feel safe with some of the other packs

around. A lot of the packs believe that young she-wolves, that are not marked, should be used as

slaves and given around to the pack males to be used to give them pups. We ourselves have a young

daughter and don't wish this to be her future. We are looking for a good life for the families that live with

us.

Alpha Zack replied, "we don't believe in those ways of life any longer. We put a stop to that way of life

when I took over this pack about six years ago. Our she-wolves are trained right along with the rest of

our people. She-wolves are not made to do anything they don't want to do. They are never used as

slaves, and they are never given around to the men in the pack. We treat our women with as much

respect as we treat each other.

"Is there a possibility that the families that live amongst us could also find asylum within your pack and

perhaps become a part of your pack?" Malcolm said with a quick tilt of his head to his mate, Caroline.

"Let us all think this over through the night. We will have dinner ready in about an hour and a half and

we can do get to know each other a little better that way. I will have someone show you to your rooms

and then we'll let you know when dinner is prepared." said Alpha Zack.

Caroline asked gently, "is there anything I can do to help prepare for dinner. I enjoy cooking meals for

big families and outings."

"I think we have everything covered for tonight but, maybe you can help with the morning preparation

for breakfast. I'm very glad to have met with you all and can't wait to get to know you better." responded

Alpha Zack.

As they were escorting us to our rooms, I noticed that they were putting us all in some nice rooms.

When they put Malcolm and I in our room my adrenaline sort of crashed. All I felt like doing was laying

down since I was coming down from from all the worry and being scared of the possibility of having to

fight to get inside the pack. My energy was just totally drained, and it seemed like my mate was still

extremely worried about something. He let me know that he was still worried that there was a possibility

that they may just be acting nice to see where the rest of us stand. I told him that we would be able to

just stick around for a while to see how things are ran around here before we even thought about taking

any of these people anywhere near where we have been camping. I would never give up the rest of the

families up and especially not my darling daughter who had just turned eighteen and could either find

her fated mate or get treated like she was nothing. I will never let anyone treat her like she was less

than she is because we have taught her so much better for her life.

After about an hour and a half we had been told by one of the pack members, Gloria, that dinner was

ready. Well here we go, we follow Gloria towards the dining room to meet the rest of the pack and see

what kind of wolves we were going to be dealing with and what kind of decision we would start to make

for our daughter. I really didn't think we had anything that we had to worry about. We met everyone at

the end of the stairs and met everyone that was standing around waiting to meet us. There were men

and women, mated and unmated, and we were able to meet the Beta's mate and the Gamma's mate. I

liked the idea that the women here were not expected to keep quiet and had the right to have a mind of

their own.

The Beta walked up to us and introduced himself and his mate, "My name is Beta Terrance and this is

my lovely mate Cassandra. And we are happy to meet you." The Gamma repeated the same thing in

introducing himself and his mate, "Hello my name is Gamma Lawrence and this here is my wonderful

mate Sheila b We are also very glad to meet you and hopefully form a good friendship with you."

Cassandra seemed to be shy while on the other hand Sheila was very outgoing. "It really is nice to see

you guys here and thinking about possibly joining the pack. I can tell already we could become good

friends." Sheila said in a very uplifting voice.
