Chapter 153: Bye, Bye Haters!

True to their word, the very next day, James, Beta Rafferty, and Dad (Sebastian) started working on getting the undesirables out of the pack. The Council sent out a letter stating why people would be punished or banished and why the pack was on probation. Once again, the Council stressed that they knew that some pack members were not guilty of any wrongdoing.

The Letter the Council sent out specified the banished members would be listed on the Council's website. Every pack would know why they were banished and listed as Rogue. Additionally, those who voluntarily left the pack before they were banished, they would be listed as well, but chose to leave before punishment could be imposed.

After the Council made themselves perfectly clear, ten pack members asked to be released from the pack that was on the list to be punished or banished. Now came the hard part, we had eighteen pack members left to deal with. James submitted the list to Elder Graham per his request. It took James, Beta Rafferty, and Dad two weeks to compile the complete list for the Council.

James was told not to take action yet, so the Council could review the list of pack members. We went about our normal routine of taking care of our children and preparing for the arrival of our soon-to-be newborns.

Greyson and Owen started kindergarten. They were so excited and I was so nervous. My boys were getting so big, so quickly. It was an adjustment for all of us.

As it turns out, the boys loved going to school. Our routine of getting them up and ready for school was an easy one. They would be up before us because they loved going to school that much. James and Davidson would even start having races with them in the morning to see who would get downstairs first for breakfast.

That's one thing our house was never short on, happiness and love. After each race, laughter could be heard from the boys and their fathers. I will never take that for granted ever again.

This morning as I was walking slowly down the stairs, I heard Greyson laughing at his father who stumbled at the end of the race.

"Daddy, you looked funny when you fell flat on your stomach. And the look on your face was funny," laughed Greyson hysterically.

"Yeah, I guess I should have made sure I tied my shoes properly this morning, huh?" chuckled Davidson as he ruffled Greyson's hair.

"Dad! Don't do that!" growled Greyson as he tried to fix his hair.

"Why not? Do you have a girlfriend already?" chuckled Davidson to his son.

"Yes, he does. He likes Juliette Michaelson," tattled Owen to everyone present.

"What? Already?" I stammered as I walked into the kitchen to join everyone for breakfast.

"Don't worry about it, my love. He's only five. It's just a crush," exclaimed Davidson as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I know, but still. Greyson, you better treat her well. If I hear you treating her badly, you'll answer to me. Understand?" I explained to him.

"Yes Mommy, I understand," Greyson answered as he came over to hug and kiss me.

"Owen, what about you? Do you have any special friends at school?" I asked him with a grin on my face.

"No ma'am. I like several girls, no one in particular," Owen answered with a straight face.

I almost choked on my orange juice. James just chuckled and shook his head.

"That's my boy," James proudly stated with a grin on his face while Davidson just shook his head.

I just thought, what am I going to do with these boys? I don't think I can handle two boys growing up to be players. After the boys left for school, I sighed wearily and looked at my mates. They had the same expression on their faces as did I, 'What are we going to do about our boys?'

We all started to head out when James's cell phone rang which caused us to momentarily stop. He held up his hand to stop us because it was Elder Graham's number on the caller ID.

"Good morning, Elder Graham," answered James.

"Ah, good morning Alpha James. I wanted to catch you before you left for the pack house. Did I accomplish this? Is Luna Sandra and Alpha Davidson with you?" inquired Elder Graham.

"Yes Elder Graham, they are both with me. To what do we owe the pleasure of this phone call?" James questioned him cautiously.

"I wanted to inform you that Elder Terrance and I will be arriving at your pack house later this afternoon. We will be staying for approximately a week or two until we can take care of the eighteen-pack members on the list. We, the Council, want to administer the punishment for them instead of having you do it. We wanted to send a clear message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated in any pack," explained Elder Graham.

"Yes, Elder Graham. Will you and Elder Terrance need a suite each or a room?" James inquired.

"My assistant will call Beta Rafferty shortly with all the necessary details. I look forward to seeing you all again this evening for dinner," announced Elder Graham. "Until then, Goodbye."

"Goodbye Elder Graham," replied James with a flushed expression on his face.

"I guess we will see him for dinner tonight, but where will we see him?" asked a confused Davidson.

"I'm not sure. I guess we will have to wait until I hear from Beta Rafferty. We could have dinner here, but Elder Graham is a crafty one. He may want to have dinner at Rock Canyon's pack house just to see how Sandy's received," speculated James with a smirk on his face.

"If I was a betting man, I'd say you'd be right. So, I'm not going to bet against you," Davidson joked as he clapped James on the back of the shoulder.

"Anyway, I have a meeting this morning with my ladies. I need to make my way back up to the office. Take care 'MY Alpha's.' I love you," I cooed as I pulled James into a smoldering, passionate kiss goodbye. Then, when I released him it was Davidson's turn. Come here MY Honey Bear. Davidson just chuckled as he entered my arms for his goodbye kiss.

Oh, the things I do for MY Alpha's. Before they left, they watched me walk up the stairs to make sure I arrived safely. My morning meetings with the female leaders went smoothly, but I was still curious as to where we were going to have dinner tonight.

As I'm sitting in the nursery feeding my girls their lunch, James opens his mind link. 'Baby, you got a minute?' James cooed softly like he was talking in my ear.

'Of course I do. If not, I'll make the time. What's up MY Sugar Bear?' I purred back at him.

'Oh, don't start something you can't finish baby,' James chastised.

'I can finish what I start, what about you? You started it. Why are you interrupting my girl time? Hmm?' I demanded in a low, sultry voice.

'Well, we are having dinner tonight here at the pack house. Are you up for it? Do you think you can handle it?' James inquired hesitantly.

'I'll give it the ole college try,' I chuckled at his hesitancy.

'Baby, you know I'm worried about you. Don't mock me like that,' begged James.

'I'm sorry Sugar Bear. I didn't mean to mock you. I will be fine. I promise. Are you coming home before dinner or are Davidson, the kids, and I meet you there?' I questioned him.

'You are meeting us here. Dinner is at 6. Dad and Mom are going to help you bring the boys and girls here. No worries. Love you, Sandy, MY Luna, now and for always,' cooed James softly.

'Love you too. We'll be there. See you soon. Take care. Now let me get back to our girls. I need my girl time and a nap. Love you,' I exclaimed as I ended the link with James.
