Click hereDominic was torn. He didn't want to leave Flint behind to face those bastards on his own, but if they stayed it would be at just as much expense to Flint and far more dangerous for the rest of them.
"Dom." Garrett spoke up next to him. "Let him try."
Dominic's stomach clenched, but he knew what the right call was.
"What do you need from us?"

"I know this is not what you all wanted to hear, but this small sacrifice is worth the peace that comes with it. No longer will we have to watch our backs in fear of an attack. No longer will we lose our brothers and sisters and children to battles fought for no true purpose. Is that not worth giving up a small portion of our territory to have this?" Sol's voice echoed in Kate's ears, only to be drowned out by the packs' howls of agreement.
They were all gathered in the dining hall, listening to what changes were to come now that they had signed treaties. Kate sat close to the front of the pack, straddling the bench seat at her table with her mate doing the same behind her so that he could wrap his arms around her. The Alphas were standing on a raised section at the very end of the rectangular hall, a long table behind them where the Alphas, their Seconds, and their families ate their meals, along with any guests that happen to be visiting. Orion stood next to Sol and behind them were Hale, Misty, Cole, and Amethyst, along with Thorn and Cascade, their Seconds, and their only children, the twins.
Both Storm and Thunder looked anxious, and looking behind her, Kate could see that Augustine was the same. All three were being tormented by their wolves to go and retrieve their mates, but Sol had ordered them not to. If any more bias was put against them, their matings could be put in even more jeopardy.
"Good, I am glad you all agree. Tomorrow, we will begin establishing new patrol routs along our borders, but tonight we will celebrate!" More howls, these ones filled with excitement. "But before we begin preparations, I have more news.
"During our visit to the city, there was a development. As I am sure you all have discovered, a group of six humans were brought back with us. I know all of you are wondering why we would-"
Without warning, Orion collapsed to his knees, crying out in pain and grabbing his head.
The room went insane. Most of the lower ranking wolves panicked at seeing one of their Alphas collapse, while others like Cliff and Kate sprung up and took on defensive positions. Dagwood was next to Kate in a flash, both running up the short flight of stairs to guard Orion and the others.
Sol was kneeling beside her mate, her eyes tight in pain as she tried to help her mate.
"Orion what is this?- AHH!" Sol's eyes shut tight as she buckled a bit. Orion was on his side, panting in pain with unfocused eyes.
"Shit. Cliff, Kate, get all the high-ranking Betas, now! Someone is attacking our Alphas' minds, and we need to create a Pack Mind to block them out." Storm was already beginning to shift, his clothes becoming tighter and beginning to tear at the seams.
"No!"
Everyone looked to Orion, still on the ground but seeming to have been lifted from whatever had brought him down. His body was weak and shaky as he tried to get to his feet.
"Orion, I don't understand. What was that?" Sol helped her mate to his feet.
"It was Flint." Orion turned to look at Thunder and Storm. "Get to the Omega Wing housing the humans NOW!" Both men didn't hesitate; they simply began sprinting to where the humans were located. "Cliff, go with them. I will be right behind you."
"Alpha, what is going on?" Kate moved aside as Orion moved down towards the steps, his legs still wobbly but able to hold him up. "What do you mean it was Flint?"
Kate followed as Orion, as well as the rest of his family and his Seconds, began running through the Den, following the scents of the twins. "I don't know how or why, but Flint was able to bond with his wolf enough to communicate with me. He is with the humans and they are not safe. That was all he was able to convey to me."
"Does this mean...?" Thorn asked.
"No, he has not Shifted. He simply pulled his instinct forward to try and communicate with me. That was why it was so painful. All of his pain and instinct was flowing unchecked into my mind." Orion looked extremely worried, and Kate could understand why. They had been trying to repress Flint's wolf so that it wouldn't tear him apart while they tried to figure out how to get him to shift. If Flint had purposefully brought it forward, that meant it would most likely try to create a physical form, and kill him.
Everyone's pace picked up at the realization.
As they drew closer to the Omega Wing, Kate could hear a fight up ahead, and she could smell the scent of blood.
A lot of blood.

UltimateHomeBodyover 7 years agoThere may be inconsistencies, and some editing would iron that out, but I am really liking the story. The people are not perfect autobots making them better for it. Like Sol acting like a dictator, she is! The pack structure described has her as the strongest wolf with absolute power and control, ie dictatorial. This is how any wild group of animals behave.
payenbrantover 7 years ago...Cell Phones! =-) I know, it wouldn't be as cool and dramatic but here in Oregon we can get cheap cellphone plans with good coverage for dirt cheap and no sales tax!
Again, very good at showing the narrow minded views of werewolves. It's really a very engaging story.
Sincerely,

Anonymousalmost 8 years agoAfter the altercation at the Pine Glen estate, and the one at the air strip and the one when they arrived in the SUVs, that the Alphas would have used their alpha bond with the command (the one no pack member can refuse) that this latest incident would have been prevented.
Lark is one of the most brutal and overly aggressive were in the pack. He attacked someone under the Alphas protection and assaulted Flint a member of the apha family.
The discipline in this pack leaves a lot to be desired. I hope they put lark on 6 mos of kitchen dutyand if he was looking for a promotion he could kids that goodbye. Promotions are about leadership and thinking before you act not bullying behavior like what he did. He even went and got friends to help him do it.
The leader, Sol, seems more like a dictator. She led them to the OMEGA wing told them she was going to throw out their possessions , locked them in like prisoners and left them their for 2 hours. They did ensure that Dominic and his family were Fed. But didn't get them medical attention. Wouldn't you see if everyone was okay?
I feel a lot of empathy for Flint not being touched little to no friends in the pack Even his own family and the way they treat him as if he is a 10 yr old and not the 21 yr old that he is. That has got to make him feel so alienated. Then the shock he would surely feel to be so accepted by these humans that are virtual strangers. Just Wow and good on Dom and his family.
This is so well written that I am drawn in to the drama of the story.
Anonymousabout 8 years agoYour story is so well written. Very original. I am hooked! I can't wait to see what happened.
LadyPartsabout 8 years agoI really like this story. I like the different slant you bring to the fated mates, love and first sniff and all the hog wash. Love is a bitch! Love hurts! Finally we have a story in which love is not wanted or welcome and is being battled against.
And that's where you get lost in your narrative. Dominic and his gang are fighting against their fate, Misty is fighting against her fate. It's frustrating that there is SOOO much else also going on that each chapter gives a tease, a tiny peak at the fight against love.
I just love how all of these wolves have some serious flaws but I think you're getting too close to making Dominic without flaw and that gets boring.
Great story, write faster.
