Run Away Alpha

11- Special Something

"Nathan, Diego, Karma, Eric, Louis, Alex, Fin!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

    I will admit I am probably being dramatic but NOBODY takes the last fifteen Oreos except me. Especially in a new pack house, people need to know not to take my stuff. Well, specifically food.

    "Yes?" They asked in unison, using their best puppy eyes. Such ass kissers.

    "Who said you could take my Oreos? I was looking forward to them after the meeting. Even if I wasn't you know not to take them unless there's a new pack just for me."

    I carefully eyed them, seeing who would suck up to me first. Casually noting that Fin pushed the twins to signal for them to talk since they are the youngest. Bad move Fin, you are going to be my first victim.

    "We sowwey mumma. Dada didn't know better." 

    I internally laughed at Fin as I saw him facepalm himself. Yep, he's officially going to be the sacrifice.

    "You are forgiven my little munchkins. As for the rest of you kids, double training for a week. Fin, you know what you have to do."

    Strutting out of the pack house and into training grounds I smiled as I heard Fin gather the pack. Casually taking off my jacket and leggings leaving me in my sports bra and panties, I waited on the pack to surround Fin and I.

    "Alright everyone, since we are your new leaders let's set a few ground rules. One, never disrespect another Werewolf, in or out of our pack. Two, be honest and don't blame others. Three, don't touch Alpha Ramirez' food."

    "If you touch my food, specifically the Oreos, I will either give you: triple training, extra chores, punishment, or fight you in the training grounds. My mate Fin is going to be our first example of what happens when you eat all the Oreos."

    "Delta Simon, come forward to be the announcer." Fin called out before an older man stepped into the pit.

    "Fighters, take your positions." Simon hollard so everyone could hear.

    Lifting my hands in front of my face and putting my left foot forward I started to size up Fin. Noticing his left arm have a slight wound, probably from the night before. I quickly faked a weak spot on my right leg, as if I were to try and protect it.

    "Fight!" Simon yelled before quickly exiting the pit. 

    "You got this mom! Beat his ass!" -Eric

    "Come on Uncle Fin! You can do this!" -Alex

    "Mumma is gonna die." -Twins

    "You got this Paris! Show him what you got!" -Karma

    I carefully watched his stance, waiting for just one muscle to move. Noticing his eyes land on my leg and a smirk form a did a mental victory dance, he fell for it. Clenching my jaw I waited on his first attack, knowing exactly what he was going to do. As soon as his left fist went back  I moved to the side, pretending to protect my leg. 

    After a little more cat and mouse I decided to give the crowd what they needed to see. Taking a deep breath I let my eyes change color and Fin's smirk faded away. You know the final move off the movie Karate Kid, not the original but the one with Jayden Smith? Well if you don't then look it up. Although my version of the move is better. 

    Running away from Fin I mentally rehearsed what I was about to do. Front flip, full twist, cartwheel, back flip, and then hook my left foot onto Fins head and take him down to the ground resulting in a tap out. Seems easy enough for an ex gymnast. 

    Turning towards Fin I mouth "I'm sorry." I started to run towards him. Using my senses I could tell which direction Fin was moving to and each time he changed direction I followed suit. I had to add in a few extra stunts due to him running around but after a while I brought him down.

    After Fin tapped out I kissed his nose and apologized again. Not because what I did hurt but because we both like winning. Although he has been good with accepting that I'm better than him, which is great for our relationship. 

    "What was up with all of the flips and stuff?" Someone asked after a moment of silence.

    "Because punches are easy to see. You can always tell where they're going to end up and the force of the blow. And certain stances show weaknesses. Fin noticed that my right leg was so called 'hurt' even though I faked it. It just shows how much we rely on our sight. In order to be the best we have to be able to use other senses.

    Adding tricks will confuse your opponent and give you leverage, especially if they can't fully access your physical appearance. You could have a bad arm and not even have to use it and still win a fight. So in other words you guys should expect a lot more than fight training. All of you are going to get gymnast lessons."

    "Which is fully necessary. If you guys want to be the best you have to learn the best techniques. Your ex Alpha agreed to this before we came here, in fact it was his idea for us to train and take care of you all." Fin added making me mentally roll my eyes.     

    They shouldn't need a reason to accept this. But I will admit that this side of him is sexy.

    'Don't give me those eyes Paris.' Fin linked me making me remember where we are.

    "I will make sure Paris won't go over kill on the training. And before you ask, yes, our entire family will be at training so you won't be going through this alone." Fin reassured. Damn, daddy material much?

    "Are there any other questions?" I asked sweetly to the pack.

    "How do you know our old Alpha?" A pup pipped up making everyone INCLUDING FIN look at me. Talk about pressure.

    "We used to be engaged before we found our mates. Hence him being bisexual now. Anything else?" I asked clapping my hands hoping to change the subject.

    "Great, I will see you all at dinner which will be at 6. We are throwing an alliance party this weekend for a week so be prepared. There will be near fifty packs coming, and yes, I mean full packs. Betas, Alphas, Lunas, Omegas, Deltas, orphans, you name it."

    I walked away from the speechless crowd to prepare for Friday night, which is in TWO DAYS. As an Alpha there's a lot to prepare and I am in charge of all of it. From flowers, dinner, breakfast, lunch, snacks, housing, meetings, training, activities, decorations, cleaning, EVERYTHING.

    Fins' POV

    "It's news to me too guys. But I promise that you all will be protected and if something does happen my wife and I will protect you. But this is a good opportunity for all of us. We can meet new people, possibly your mates, life long friends, maybe even get a chance to bond with our allies so they won't turn on us. Just please do this for us, we will go easy on you during the training for the first week." I offered to one of the elders who had brought the packs concerns to me.

    "No. I'm not saying that to upset you, I'm saying it to please you actually. We will do this for you guys without going easy on training. In all honesty we like training, even if it is difficult but that just means we will continue to improve. But, we want a game war with all the packs." The elder suggested with a smirk.

    "Okay, explain this game war."

    "Every pack has a competition for every age group. The winners from each pack will compete against their age group and after that those winners will compete in the championship round. Each winner should be able to choose something they want, anything as long as it's not someones mate." 

    "Alright, sounds like a plan. I actually love the idea. What's your name?"

    "Alexis Cunningham." 

    "Well Alexis, thank you and I will make sure you get credit for this."

    "You're welcome Alpha."

    "It's just Fin, and my wife is Paris. We are co-Alphas so just come to one of us when there's a problem."

    "Alright, thanks Fin." Alexis bowed in respect before leaving the training grounds.

    "Boys!" I screamed waiting for them to come to me.

    I let out a laugh as the boys tumbled over each other trying to get to me first. 

    'Just imagine what it'd be like with ten. I can't wait.' My wolf said wagging his tail. Our lucky number has always been ten so we'll see.

    "What's up pa?"

    "Is it training time?" Karma asked excitedly.

    "Yep. You know the move your ma has been working on us with right?"

    "Yeah, why?" 

    "We are not leaving here until we perfect it. Your ma is busy with organizing everything for the guests. So while she does that I'm in charge of everything. I want to surprise her with this."

    "Is this your anniversary gift?"

    "No, I have something special planned for that. But let's get started so we can surprise her."

    The boys quickly got into stance while I watched them. Their form is perfect to a tee and now time for the invasion.

    "Teams: Brandon, Cortez, Allen, Karen, Sylvia, and Nico come out." I hollered as the boys changed their eye color.

    -- -- --

    Paris' POV

    "What's with all the screaming?" I sighed, standing up and running out the door.

    To my amusement my family was in the middle of the training grounds and kicking ass in every way possible. Karma was using karate, Eric was using jiu-jitsu, Alex was using mixed martial arts, Diego was using acrobatics, Nathan was using wrestling , and Louis was using boxing. Every time Fin called out "Switch" the boys would alternate fighting techniques. This is my amazing family.

    After every fighter either tapped out, passed out or cried the game was over. I looked at them with awe as I saw their amazing brown/green/yellow eyes. My little hybrid babies.

    "That was amazing boys." I called out to them with a huge smile on my face.

    "Ma!"-Twins

    "Mom!"-Louis

    "Momma!" -Eric

    "Paris!" -Karma and Alex

    They all ran to me with bright smiles before tackling me to the ground. "Did you see us?!"

    "Yes I did boys. I'm so proud of you!" I smiled at their happy faces and kissed their heads before standing up.

    "You did great with them babe." I whispered as I hugged Fin.

    "Celebration picnic?" Eric asked with his crystal blue eyes.

    "Of course kiddo. Go ask some of the maids to pack food for 10."

    "Why ten?" Karma asked curiously.

    "Cause I'm starving and Fin eats a lot."

    "I do not!" Fin defended himself making me roll my eyes.

-- -- --

    Karma's POV

    "Can I talk to you Paris?" I asked as soon as we arrived and tugged on her arm before she could answer.

    "What's up Kay?"

    "Do you know?" I whispered so the others wouldn't hear us.

    "You have to be more specific, I know a lot of things." She said while booping my nose.

    "About you." I said giving her 'the look.'

    "Not yet. I was going to announce it at the party in two days."

    "You might want to tell Fin first. He will probably figure it out by then."

    "Noted, thanks Kay. But how do you feel about this?"

    "It's a lot to take in. Moving here and now this, on top of the week long party. Plus I haven't found my mate yet." I said feeling stressed.

    "Hey, chin up. You are fourteen there's no need to rush. Some people don't find their mates till their mid twenties." She smiled down at me and for once everything seemed alright.

    "You're right I have time. I can wait and save myself for my mate for as long as it takes. Just like you did for your mate." 

    "Yeah, just like I did." Paris said hugging me, making me feel whole for the first time in my life.

    "No matter what happens, we are your family and we will love and accept you no matter what."

-- -- --

    Paris' POV

    This has been the most stressful few days of my life and due to that I never got to tell Fin the good news. I actually haven't even seen him since the picnic. Between him training the pack, taking care of the kids and me making sure everything is perfect there has just been no time for us.

    But today's the day. Thankfully there have been no complications with the party or my surprise. I was worried for a while but everything is in tip-top shape and we are waiting on the guests to arrive. Due to us being in the biggest pack in the world there are plenty of extra rooms for everyone to stay at the pack house.

    "They're here your Majesty." One of the maids informed me as I stepped out of my office.

    "Perfect, where are the seven boys?" I asked as we walked down stairs to greet everyone.

    "They are waiting for you by the entrance. You will greet them together, Fin's orders."

    "Good to hear. Are the ladies prepared for everything?"

    "As prepared as we will be. Don't worry, everything will be spectacular." Lindy reassured me as we reached the bottom of the stairs.

    "Alright, let's do this." I mumbled before putting on a brave face.

    Fin and I opened the Pack House doors and were immediately face to face with thousands if not millions of people. And when I say I was on edge I mean the edge of a damn rocket at the end of Earths' atmosphere and if I fall I will plummet to my death.

    "Good evening everyone, I'm glad you all could make it. I believe we are missing the Golden Arch pack but the Alpha has told us to proceed without them for now. So please make yourself at home. Alpha's and Luna's, if you will please follow Miss Lindy to your rooms so you can get settled in before dinner."

    After all the leaders were gone to their rooms I turned to a young wolf named Lacy, she is Lindy's daughter. "Lindy, could you please show the Deltas and Gammas along with their mates to their rooms?"

    "Of course your Majesty." Lacy said as she bowed and went into the house.

    After a few minutes of silence I looked at my fellow pack members. They were clearly anxious and nervous about this party. 

    "Please, respect ALL of the members of fellow Packs. I don't care what kind of treatment you get away with in your territory but this is mine. If you get caught mistreating someone, even if they are in your pack, you will be punished by me, and your Alpha can't stop me. Am I clear?"

    "Yes Alpha." They all said in unison making me feel proud.

    "Good, you can do whatever you like while you stay here as long as it's legal." I clarified before dismissing everyone.

    "You did great your Majesty." The servants said, bowing.

    "I'm glad you think so." I said smiling at the ladies.

    "So guys I have an announcement to make before I tell everyone. Who wants to guess?" I said looking at my boys.

    "Puppy?"-Eric

    "Bounce house?"-Diego

    "Swimming pool?"-Alex

    "Competitions?"-Louis

    "Training?"-Nathan

    "Tattoos?"-Fin

    "You guys are horrible at guessing like holy crap."

    "She's pregnant with twins." Karma mumbled.

    "WHAT?!"

    "You're going to have sisters!" I announced excitedly while jumping up and down.

    "Finally someone to blame stuff on." The twins announced excitedly.

    "I can teach her how to kick guys asses." Eric said happily.

    "Oh please, like we are going to let a guy get close to them." Karma said confidently with a smirk.

    "You guys are unbelievable." I laughed while rolling my eyes.

    "Karma's right, we aren't going to let them out of our sight." Fin whispered in my ear.

    "I know, you guys will protect them forever." I said, kissing his cheek.

    "Damn straight. Once they're born nobody is going to get though to them. That's the Ramirez baby guarantee."

    Alpha and Luna Meeting

    "Ramirez is and always will be a sacred family. Nobody will get to your pack, and we will risk our lives to make sure of it." Alpha of Pack thirty seven reassured me.

    "We need to take down Toby. We have five years to do it and we need to move fast or it will be too late." I announced, getting defensive of my family.

    "In time your highness. Toby is working with the vampires still and we don't know their numbers." Luna from Pack six announced.

    "Explain their protection system to me." I sighed, stressing a little.

    "During the day are werewolf elders, at night are vampires. There is no break in the switch, we have tested it many times and lost many good warriors from it." Alpha sixty five said.

    "Record the switch for me. I will see if I can find a pattern, maybe a common guard that we can take out so we don't have to risk taking every guard out. But I will need a month worth of footage and not just one night.

    We also need some of our human connections to track his payroll. I need a list of all of his informants and bank accounts. I am going to bleed this bastard dry even if it's the last thing I do." I said determined.

    "But not literally. I'm not willing to risk you or our family." Fin announced making me roll my eyes.

    "I placed a bounty over my family to save our asses. If I have to sacrifice everything I have to take it down I will do it. I'm not about to back out of this and run away like a coward. My family didn't die protecting me just to run the Ramirez name through the dirt."

    "Understood." Fin whispered defeatedly as he realized I wouldn't back down.

    "Good. Now onto the alliance discussions, what are we offering each other to keep the peace?"

-- -- -

    Karmas' POV

    What is that smell? I kinda like it. 

    I quietly followed the smell of pineapple and strawberries to the kitchen. Getting a big whiff of the smoothie in the blender. 

    'Maybe they won't notice if we take it.' My wolf Lenny suggested.

    'Hopefully not.' I responded as I left the kitchen with the blender and whatever liquid is inside.

    I heard someone coming from behind me and started to run like the thief I am in case it was the cook. Bumping into what seemed to be a wall I felt the glass break and the delicious smelling liquid to spill all over the floor.

    "Look what you did!" Someone screamed causing my ears to ring as I looked up.

    "Oops." I said, realizing the wall was actually a man in a nice suit.

    "Oops?! Oops?! You ruined my new suit you ungrateful mutt!" He stepped closer to me making me step back.

    My heart was pounding as I looked up at the terrifying man. When my back hit a door I panicked and quickly opened it, immediately closing it behind me and putting all my weight against it. I'm usually not one to back out of fights but for some reason my wolf cowers in fear of him.

    "Ahem." Someone said making me realize where I am.

    "Karma, what are you doing in here?" A sweet voice asked making me look up.

    "Paris." I said as I ran to her and hid between her and Fin.

    I heard the door open as soon as I got under the table making my heart beat even faster.

    "Sorry, wrong room."

    "Wait, come here." I gulped as I heard the door shut and someone walk closer to me.

    "Who are you chasing?" Fin asked, clearly knowing it was me.

    "Someone spilt a drink on me and I was just trying to talk to them." He said, sounding confident, as if that was the truth.

    "Really? Which pack do you belong to, so I know if you're a liar or not." Paris said, putting on fake interest.

    "Ah, Ronald and Megan. Can you tell me if this man is mated or not?"

    "He is, why?"

    "Call his mate in. No questions about why please." 

    I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack not being able to see what's going on or knowing why Paris willingly brought this guy in here. Yet alone his wife! Yet here we are. Me nervously waiting on this woman and hopefully they don't stay that long.

    "You know, you two would make a cute child. In fact I think I know one that looks similar to you two."

    Oh no, please don't do this Paris. Please, please, please, don't. I prayed until I felt her hand grab my arm. Well, apparently there is no God.

   "I believe your name is Maxwell Andreas and you are Elizabeth Sanders. This here is Karma Drake Ramirez, once known as Samuel Sanders. Sound familiar?" Paris asked lethally as if she knew something nobody else does.

    "We can explain." The lady started.

    "No, you can't. What would a good explanation be? We were young? It was a mistake? We didn't want him?! There's something called an abortion clinic, and even then those aren't good enough reasons. Not even for putting a child in an orphanage, yet alone a human one. Who knew about him?" Wow, I've never seen Paris so pissed.

    "Toby Cavanagh helped us get rid of him. Said his niece made a mistake and he wouldn't let us do the same if we didn't want to. Werewolves aren't aloud to get an abortion or give them up for adoption if we are able to support a child." The mean dude explained.

    "Yet another reason to kill the bastard." Paris said while sitting me on her lap. "What do you guys want to do with the parents of Karma?"

    "Kill them, we don't let people sacrifice innocent kids based on their wants."

    "Alright. Fin, escort them to the basement, I'll be there later."

-- -- --

    Competition Day

    "Okay Fin, we got this. All we have to do is jump over the wall, do a cart wheel across the field, handstand down a hill, and do a balance beam routine. You already know the real problem is Paris and Alex, we need to sabotage them."

    "You hate losing as much as I do don't you kiddo?" 

    "Who would willingly lose when they know how to win?" I asked while smirking at out enemies.

    "Paris is unbeatable so we have to target Alex. It has to be big or else Paris will be able to help Alex."

    "Hurt his arm, not too much but enough to where he can't do a handstand." I suggested making Fin think about it.

    "Fine but how?"

    "The twins are too young to compete so...."

    "Perfect, let's get to it." Fin agreed causing me to laugh evilly.

 -- -- --

    Paris' POV

    It's an hour before the competition and I am FREAKING OUT.  It was supposed to be a duo competition but Alex broke his arm because him and the twins were playing in the tree house and he fell out of it. But I talked to the 'judges' and they will let me go solo in the duo challenge. Since only five players can get through it makes it easier if I win. Besides being solo is more of a disadvantage than an advantage.

    "Are you sure you'll be alright?" I asked for the millionth time since I can feel his pain.

    "Yes, just do me one favor while you compete."

    "Anything." I reassured while rubbing his back.

    "Make them regret it." Alex said making me laugh a little.

    You see we already figured out whose idea it was to hurt Alex. Fin and Karma would do ANYTHING to win so it wasn't that hard... Well that and the twins told us because they felt so bad. And you think with Karma being Karma's name he would know what it tastes like, but apparently he needs a reminder.

    "Attention everyone, the competition will be starting in five minutes. Golden Trident Pack is up first so get to the field." That's my qui.

    "You sure you want to go through with this? I mean your brother is in the pack hospital." Fin offered as soon as he saw me step on the field.

    "He's getting stitches and a cast not open heart surgery Fin. Besides he told me to come, especially since you guys are the ones that came up with the idea." I informed him as I watched as his confidence started to go down.

    "Who told you?"

    "A blind person would know it was you and Karma. You guys are so obvious." I said rolling my eyes and walking to my spot.

    The course is five miles long. It's to show strength, endurance, talent, and flexibility. Only the Alphas and Lunas know the entire course since we are the ones that hand pick who are skilled enough to compete. Of course all Alphas and Lunas who can handle the course have no choice but to compete so nobody thinks it was rigged.

    "On your mark, get set, GO!"

    With that said we all took off running for a quarter mile, which would then turn into a down hill handstand walk, followed by 700 cartwheels, 800 front flips, 400 back flips, 8 full outs, 6 wall jumps, 16 half court shots, 8 shots of tequila/juice/milk depending on your age group, and the final 3 round house kicks with each having to hit a moving target.

    Is it obvious that I took first place? I mean ex gymnast werewolf vs flexible, athletic werewolves. Haha, losing Alex was more of an advantage than anything.

    So yeah, I claimed first place with the time of 12 minutes and 37 seconds. Second place was Lilly and Carly, both gymnasts as well. Then third is Fin and Karma.

    "Did all that dust eating make you come in third instead of second?" I asked, clearly gloating.

    "To be fair a normal person would've died from cardiac arrest." Fin said, trying to make himself feel better.

    "Whatever you say babe." I said before chugging water.

-- -- -- --

    "Competition number two is now beginning. Competitors get ready."

    I eyed my weapons, deciding which order I'll use them. This is all about targets, kinda like archery only with knives and guns. It's an even smaller target and attached to a biplane in a groove of trees. the target will continuously move until you are out of ammo/weapons. At the end how many marks on the target you have will determine how many points you have.

    "Begin!" The announcer screamed, starting off round two.

    Grabbing all the knives and tucking them in convenient spots I stood on the stand. Watching the target sway in the breeze and watching the direction the line is moving it to. 

    After throwing all the knives I grabbed the guns, making sure the safety is on before I tucked them too. The first pistol was pretty easy to use, each of them hitting bullseye. The second gun I got nearly all perfects as well. But the third gun was jammed and I knew Karma had to be the one to do it. 

    Quickly running to someones station I switched the guns and went back to my zone. Hurriedly firing my gun and finishing all the rounds for it. After that I put the gun back and put my hands on the timer for it to stop. I unfortunately came in second but Fin landed in third so that made me feel better. Karma, however, landed in first place.

-- -- --

    "Alright this is the final competition. The top two from each Pack will play. There is a fresh COD on each playstation, it is already set up specifically for this challenge. If you touch the remote before I announce start you will be disqualified. Players, take your seats."

    I sat down in a bean bag chair, staring at the remote in front of me. "You have two hours to get as far as possible, may the odds forever be in your favor. BEGIN!"

-- -- --

    Dinner Time

    "Alright everyone, please grab whatever you want and meet me in the training grounds for dinner. We will announce the winners from todays final competition as well as other things once everyone is there." I announced before going outside with my food, Fin, and the kids.

    "What do you think of everyone?" I asked the kids.

    "The kids are nice."- Diego 

    "Parents are strict."-Karma

    "Adults are uptight."-Eric

    "What do you think Alex?" I asked, curious as to why he's been quiet all day.

    "It's complicated." Alex said, looking sadly at all of us, especially Karma.

    "What is?" I asked, looking at him strangely. 

    "I didn't mean for it to happen Karma, I swear, I didn't want this." Alex confessed confusing us all as he started to cry.

    "Did you tell them yet?" Some Beta's son asked, clearly confused.

    "Alex, please don't be serious." Karma said, looking completely broken.

    "Come here Karma." I said, wrapping my arms around him as he slightly cried.

    "What's going on Alex?" Fin asked, finally speaking since this all got awkward.

    "I am Alex's' mate Talon Sanders." Oh s**t.

    "H-how old are you Talon?" I asked, trying to put all the pieces in place.

    "Eighteen why?" 

    "No reason, just curious." I said putting on a fake smile.

    "This is my husband Fin and these are our kids." I said, hoping to change the subject.

    "Who's the one in your arms?" Talon asked clearly curious.

    "I can't tell you, I'm sorry but it's not my place." I apologized trying to make this less awkward.

    "It's alright, I have forever to get to know all of you now." He said happily, without a care in the World.

    "Ah, there you are!" Ronald said happily with Megan by his side.

    "Alpha, Luna." Talon greeted as they approached us.

    "So is Alex ready to move?" Ronald asked, trying to make conversation.

    "Alex is not moving." I said loudly causing people to look at us.

    "Well Talon isn't moving either." Megan said in an irritated tone.

    "Then they won't be mates. I am not losing my brother or any of my family to you guys." I growled, daring them to over step.

    "You're right, it's your uncles job to take family away from you." Ronald said making everything around us go deathly silent.

    "Watch it or you will get cut." Fin growled stepping forward as the kids got out of the way.

    "We already lost our lead Betas because of you Paris, we are not about to lose their kid too." Megan countered which flipped my switch.

    "Shut your f*****g mouth or I will rip it off your body." I growled, while giving Karma to Fin.

    "You will claim their first son but not their second? You ignore the fact that I just got my brother back after losing him for nine years, you ignore that what I say goes, and you throw my families death in my face.

    Who made the deal that saved most, if not, all of you? Who sacrificed her youth to being a mother because of all of you? Who is taking responsibility and death threats because they decided to protect as many people as possible? It sure as hell wasn't you. If you want to challenge me do it now or bite your f*****g tongue for the rest of your God damn lives around me."  I growled loudly, showing them who is more powerful.

    "So, is he staying or not?" I  asked roughly after a long pause.

    "He will stay." They whimpered, making me nod.

    "Anyone else want to say anything or can we get back to the peace part?" I asked nicely.

    After a long pause I clapped five times and whistled, making music play and fairy lights come on. "Good, now let's eat." I said happily.

-- -- --

    "Okay everyone listen up, I have the list of winners in my hand. If you hear your name please come to me."

    Carefully opening the paper I read the names, "Ralph Kenny, Camila Atkinson, Regina Albert, Nathaniel...."

    After I called all their names they came to my table and stated their requests and I offered them all a spot in the Pack, which most of them accepted. The teenagers asked for simple things like video games, Apple Watch, new phone, shoes, a dog, and some robot thing. The adults just asked for me to pay for a nanny once a month so they can have date night with their mates, although one did ask for me to set him up with a widowed female in hopes of a friend or possible girlfriend since his mate died five years ago. 

    Once I rewarded everyone it was time for the announcements to begin. Which made me extremely nervous but this is worth it.

    "Can I have your attention please? I have a few announcements for everyone. First off I'd like to tell everyone that the peace treaty will be official in five minutes. During this time you are being offered a chance to back out. We will not attack you if your don't want to be part of us, you will still be a respected area unless you attack us."

    After a long pause I continued. "Today my brother met his mate, which just so happens to be one of my sons brother. So at least they get to be united for the first time ever. Speaking of kids, I am pregnant with twin girls and I would love for all of you to give name suggestions, we could take a vote on it and go off of that."

    "When can we vote?" Someone asked making me laugh.

    "We will vote a week before the due date. but name suggestions are open starting now. Please talk to Beta Rodney when you come up with a name." I answered.

    "My wife forgot to mention a big detail of the treaty. At any time you can request a transfer to allied packs. And if you would prefer to train with a certain pack we can make arrangements for you. We are also expanding the schooling program. Paris will go into detail about it."

    "If for any reason you would like to switch packs please contact the Pack you are interested in. We will then set up a meeting with your Alpha and even bring all of your stuff over to the pack house or wherever you want to stay. 

    Also, if you like a certain pack better but you believe another pack has better training you can train with the other pack. This means if you are less flexible you won't have to get punished for not being the right body type. 

    But most importantly everyone 18 and older who is going to school can learn anywhere. Want online school while you vacation in Fiji? Consider it a deal. All seven continents will have spots you can learn from. Want to go somewhere we don't have listed? Let your Alpha know and we will try to make it possible for you. Packs aren't just about hierarchy and pleasing your superiors, it's also about discovering your purpose and who you truly are. 

    So please, all of you, take advantage of this. We are doing all of this for your guys' enjoyment. This is your Special Something."
