Chapter 5: Golden-moon

.............One week after leaving.......................

After searching for a while, we finally found some land for our pack. We hired a construction crew to build our pack house, for now we are living on store bought meat, cooked over an open flame. On the third day Oliver and I called the pack directory office in California and registered our pack, we were no longer rouges! Oliver and Dawson are mates and spend most of their time together. My dad and Ella took their jobs seriously, which i was grateful for. When everyone was sleeping i would often wander the territory. I found quite a few nice spots for future events. The ache in my chest felt like it was getting bigger day by day. Then one day my chest was burning and i expected to start bleeding, but three seconds later, I felt free. He accepted my rejection. Now I was free, truly free.

............One Month after leaving........................

Our pack house was completed, finally. It looked like a wood cabin, mansion style. Five floors of pure beauty. The first floor, was where we had a living room, and kitchen with a restaurant themed dining room. We had an indoor poll with a matching hot tub and sauna. The first floor also held an indoor garden.

The second floor had a daycare center for when we had pups. We also had rooms for any guests, who needed to stay with us. There was a bar as well, with a flat screen for game nights. The second floor also had the "Man Cave" and the "Damsels Den". 

The third floor had two conference rooms. an indoor training center and library. The fourth floor was where the beta and gamma would reside. Each had a kitchen, office, master bed and bath with one spare bathroom and two spare bedrooms.

The fifth floor was my floor, the Alpha floor.

 I had my own office, kitchen, game room, mini-bar, personal gym, two spare bedrooms, and a spare bathroom. I had a large master bedroom and bathroom, with a glorious walk-in closet. My canopy bed was king sized, just off to the left, there was a sliding glass door that led out to a personal balcony. My balcony faced the mountains, I often just sit there mesmerized by the view. I liked to sit there and look at the trees waiting for them to change color, wishing William were with me. He had wanted to see them change too.

We often used the conference room for catching up. We needed a way to make money so we decided to started a fitness center and located it in Burlington. Ella, myself and My dad were the trainers. Seven o'clock at night on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, Ella and I always hosted a self defense class for woman. Through it we added three new faces to our pack. A young omega and her grandmother. Amanda and Gertrude, Amanda decided to help in the infirmary and Gertrude decided to help in the house. A rouge named Zach, joined us as well. He came from an abusive pack, after being rejected by his mate he ran away. He fits in best as a chef, so he does the cooking. 

I woke up really, early one morning, so I had Ira take over, she ran all over the territory, excited to be out. We got back just in time for the others to wake up. I went to my office and did some paperwork. I had an idea, so I called everyone to the conference room. 

"So we need another way to make revenue, how about a restaurant?" i suggested. "We can easily build it, and we can serve a variety of food."

"Who would work there?" Oliver asked. 

"I was hoping you would run this one Oliver," He looked taken aback. "Zach would be our chef and Mia will be the hostess, and if it is okay Tanner and Rose you could help Gurty keep the place clean. Dawson you would be the bartender, because your drinks are the bomb."

"I like the idea, Finn." Tanner said grinning. "What should we call it?"

"Hmmmm, I want everyone who wants to write down a name, and we will draw it out of the hat, same way we named Golden Fitness Center."

Oliver, Mia, Tanner, Ella, Amanda and I wrote down the names and put them in the hat.

"Dawson shake the hat and Zach you pick." Oliver said handing the hat to his mate. Dawson shook the hat then held the hat out to Zach, who pulled out a piece of paper. 

"So the restaurant's name is........Billy's bar and grill."

I smiled at the name, I looked over at Mia who had tears in her eyes. I got up and went over to her.

"I miss William too, Mia." I whispered in her ear hugging her from behind. 

"Mia I think it's perfect." Dawson said.

"Who is Billy?" Asked Amanda

"Billy was with us before we were Golden-moon. He left the day before we did to go back to his sister and his old pack." Rose explained

"He hated being a rouge, the only thing he hated more than that was Alpha's who abuse their power." Mia added.

"And being called William." I said, smirking. Rose and Mia giggled.

"I remember the first time you called him that, he didn't know how to respond, so he just stood there looking down at you. He was pissed, then you laughed and walked away, God, what did he do to piss you off that day Finn?"

"I'm pretty sure you guys had only been at the school a month and you were already pissing off the pack, I accidentally bumped into him and he was rude even after I apologized , I had heard you call him Billy, which is short for William, so i just called him William." I said shrugging. It was during times like this I would wonder what William was doing. Was he happy? Is he in good health? Did he miss me as much as I missed him?

"Alright, back to the matter at hand, Oliver seeing as you are the manager, you can design your own office, Zach draw up a kitchen schematic that would work for you, Dawson same with the bar. Tanner, Gurty, Mia and Rose, you guys are doing the floor plan. By the end of the week please. Dad and Ella, I would like to hear any ideas on how you think we can boost memberships, Mom and Amanda, I would like you guys to get me a list of medical supplies that need to be ordered. Anyone have anything else, that needs to be brought to attention?"

"Yeah, what about my and Amanda's schooling?" Tanner asked.

"I'll have you enrolled by the end of the week, speaking of schooling, I would like all graduates to take a few college courses that are of interest to you."

"Yes Alpha."

"Good meeting, over. See you tomorrow."

.......................Five months after leaving.....................

It is now November, we have had ten more wolves join our pack. One of which happened to be Ella's mate, he was a trained warrior, from our old pack. My father had trained him so I knew he was good, his name is Dax. We finally got a licensed Doctor, and two trained nurses. Three new omega's, a grounds keeper, and two warriors, not counting Dax. We were finally beginning to look like a real pack. All the warriors and omega's we allowed to stay in the pack house until their own homes were built. All the houses looked like log cabins, which i believe made our home even more beautiful. The cabins were done by the order of seniority. Ella got her cabin first, Then dad, mom and Tanner. Then Gurty and Amanda, and so on and so forth. 

Being that we are a small pack, I decided peace treaty's with other pack is a good idea. Dawson, Mia, Zack (new warrior) Dax, Ella and I are heading to the only other pack in the state to sigh a treaty with them. Two other Alpha's will be there as well. Alpha Caine, the Moon-rise pack, New Hampshire, and Alpha Stephen, the Snow-river pack, Maine. Alpha Gregg from the Green-Forest pack(other Vermont pack) insisted i align myself with them as well. Each pack has over two hundred wolves, where as we have Twenty-three. 

We pulled up the edge of Alpha Gregg's Territory, then Dawson and I hopped out of the car. We took the new SUV that can seat up to eight people, that way we could save gas by only using one vehicle. We met an older gentle man at the border, his brown hair was slicked back and peppered with grey, his skin a pale ivory color. His eyes reminded me of the emeralds, the shone like a lantern in the night. His jaw was a soft square, his nose was hooked and hip lips were huge. They looked so out of place with the rest of his face, being the nice person I am, I walked over to him, Dawson on my heels.

He took Dawson and I in, his gaze took in everything, from my ash blonde hair and my honey colored eyes to my lightly tanned skin and my wrist tattoo, to the outfit i was wearing. I had on a navy blue and white jumpsuit. The top was white with this navy stripes traveling laterally. The bottoms were navy blue, the reached my ankles where they met my favorite pair of converse, and my navy blue, Pineapple no-shows. I let my hair fall loosely down to my hips, where the breeze played with it. The gentleman looked a bit intimidated by Dawson who at six foot one dwarfed me. His curly copper hair was a mess, his brown eyes were hard and cold. No wonder the guy was intimidated. He wore a black t-shirt with a black leather jacket, his blue jeans were slightly torn at the knees, and he wore his combat boots. 

"Hello, sir, we are from the Golden-moon pack, we request entry onto the lands of Alpha Gregg." I spoke with conviction.

"Of course," the man smiled, for some reason that smile made my stomach flip, i made sure not to show it though. "I am Simon, I hereby allow Golden-moon to enter our borders."

"Thank you Simon." Dawson said, then we turned and got back in the car, Dawson driving, me in the passenger seat. five minutes later we pulled up to a small white town house. We all got out of the car and walked to the door, where three men stood. They all looked relatively young, Two of the guys had blondish hair, the third had light brown. All three of them were easily over six feet tall, must be a dominance thing. The one in the middle, one of the blondes, stepped forward and looked at Dawson. 

"Alpha Finn, I didn't know you were bringing your Luna." In that moment, I knew what had to be done.

(Everyone go with it, do not correct him, Dawson play Alpha Finn, and no I'm not playing Luna, tell them you wanted to bring an unmated female to strengthen the alliance should I find my mate)

"My apologies Alpha Gregg, It was a very last minute decision to bring Vivian, but she is not my Luna she is an unmated she-wolf, i was hoping to strengthen the alliance she she find her mate." He explained, using my middle name, clever boy.

"How thoughtful Alpha, your Beta and Gamma can join the meeting, everyone else will have to stay out here."

(Dawson, Dax is your beta, say your gamma is taking care of the pack, and ask if I may sit in)

"Alpha Gregg this is my Beta Dax, my gamma however is taking care of the pack, may Vivian sit in, should she be mated to an Alpha, she would need to know about these things."

"Of course, you are a man with a brain." Gregg purred. With that we went inside, leaving Zack to protect the girls. Once inside we went into a large conference room and took our seats. Everything went smoothly and we were done in two hours. Then we went home, once there we filled everyone in. That night i slept peacefully thinking about safety in numbers and how one day, I would shove the sexist werewolf regime up everyone's ass.
