The alpha's defiant mate

Becoming Part of the Pack

"Well, I signed an agreement that I would never try to take over his pack as my own. He does know that

I have alpha blood and doesn't hold that against me. This pack has shown nothing but kindness and

caring for us and the families and people that we will be bringing here. At dinner tonight we will be

making the announcement to the pack that we will be becoming part of the Mountain of the Moon pack.

As of tonight my lovely mate, Caroline, and I will be getting initiated into the pack," Malcolm made this

perfectly clear to all our people that were here.

Caroline went to the kitchen to help start dinner for tonight. She was welcomed with open arms and

handed tasks for getting dinner prepared. Once dinner was done being prepared Caroline went up to

her room to get changed for dinner.

They all met in the dining hall to get ready for dinner. Once everyone showed up Alpha Zack let

everyone know that he had an especially important announcement before dinner. Malcolm went

forward and stood beside Alpha Zack as they were waiting to make the big announcement. "Today, I

have decided to let the people that have come to visit us become part of the pack. We are to make

accommodations for them and for the rest of the people and families that they are going to bring back

with them as well. We will treat them as one of our own pack and if anyone has a problem with that

speak up now and we will deal with it right now," Alpha Zack let it be known. There were no bad

reactions to the announcement and the only thing that happened were people from the pack were

congratulating us and asking when we would be initiated into the pack. Alpha Zack asked, "who would

like to be initiated into the pack right now before dinner is started?" Malcolm and I stepped forward and

then we realized that Axel, Roman, Nico and Leo were standing right behind us. We all excepted the

pledge and Alpha Zack excepted us into the Mountain of the Moon pack and made us pack family

members.

We all loaded up our plates and proceeded to eat dinner. All of a sudden I hear my mate mind-link me

that he loved me and that he couldn't wait till we were able to bring Alexis to the pack and be able to

have the extended family we have now. Just as we were done mind-linking we heard a few voices over

the mind-link saying there were rogues and that they needed help at the Eastern border. Malcolm and I

now naturally ran out the door after Alpha Zack and immediately changed into our wolf form to help the

pack fight against the rogues. There was a lot of them, and we were outnumbered five to one. As we

got to the forefront of the fight I was taken down by a Big Sandy wolf that broke my leg in between its

teeth. My leg had been broken in at least three spots and a huge scratch down my flank. As I spun

around, another four wolves surrounded me. The big gray one took a lunge at my throat and I couldn't

get out of the way. I mind-linked Malcolm to tell him I love him and to let Alexis know that I love her and

will always be watching over her.

I heard Malcolm through mind-link to hold on that he was coming to me but, I couldn't hold on any

longer. Malcolm made it to Caroline's body and was still fighting off the rogue wolves. We were very

close to winning the fight so, I took out a second to check on my mate and could feel the bond break

within seconds. I fought the rogues hard and they still got one up on me when five of them cornered me

at the same time. I didn't go down without a fight and I mind-linked all of the other warriors and let them

know to bring the rest of our people and families here and make sure that they took care of Alexis as if

she were their own.

Once the fighting commenced, we found all of the fallen and grouped them together. Axel, roman, nico,

and Leo made it through the fight. They knew it was up to them to go home and get the other people

and families and bring them here to join the pack. We haven't decided who was going to tell Alexis

what happened to her parents and what they said with their dying words. She is now an orphan and we

weren't sure if she was going to be willing to come to the pack.

After all the bodies had been taken care of and buried, we decided to start getting ready to go back

home. We showered quickly and got ready to go. Axel made sure he told Cassidy that he loved her and

that he would be back shortly. We all climbed into the van and slowly headed home. It was a very quiet

drive home because of the bad news that was hanging over our heads. The first stop we made was to

see Alexis since we knew that April and her family would be there when we have to tell her the bad

news about her parents.

As we walked in the door, Alexis immediately started looking for her parents. Once she figured out that

they were not there she asked, " where are my parents are they still in the van getting stuff?" We called

April and her parents into the living room before we broke the news. Axel began to talk, " we found a

very good pack to join and your dad even signed a pack with them for all of our people and families to

become pack members. We were all accepted into the pack and became pack members while we were

there. The last night we were there some rogues crossed the borders and we all went to help stop them

and keep them from getting further into the pack. During this fight your mom and dad both died and we

felt the snap of their life link from the pack. your parents wanted all of us to go to this pack to live out

the rest of our days so that we would have a pack family and be treated the right way and we can even

possibly find our faded mates there." Alexis began to cry and told us that we were there to protect them

and it was our fault that we let her parents die. she went up to her room and none of us knew what to

do. April and her parents told us it was okay for us to return to our own houses and they would look

after Alexis and make sure she makes it through this hard time.
