Pack Meeting
We all walk outside to see around a hundred and twenty-five wolves all in their human form. Then I see Beta Tony walk up on stage to make an announcement about a new alpha.
“My fellow pack mates we have gathered here today to meet our new alpha. They beat Alpha Marcus in a fair fight and he lost to Alpha Athena a female. Let’s welcome her here, so she can make an announcement.” Beta Tony voiced out
My group and I walked to the stage listening to small little whispers and everyone staring at me. I am walking up there with my head held high and not a care in the world.
“Good afternoon to all of you. I am an Alpha Athena. I will be the new Alpha of this pack and the name will be changing. They will now know us as the Moon Goddess Pack. Let’s just start this. Is there anyone in this pack that wants to challenge me for Alpha status?”
There were like four hands that went up and the one upfront was the Beta just like I thought it would be.
“Ok, Since your Beta outranks you he gets to go first. Let’s go to the clearing there and we can have this challenge.” Alpha Athena said
The walk over to the clearing and a big circle is formed around the pair is about to fight.
No sooner did they reach the clearing Beta Tony changed and took off running at Athena. She wasn’t even changed into wolf form at all. She turned and faced him look right at him as he started to jump and she yelled in her Alpha power.
“Change Now.” Alpha Athena yelled at the Beta
He falls in mid-air and changes back into his human form. No one could believe their eyes at what they had just seen. No Alpha has had the power to force a change in mid-air that they knew of and now they were scared. Athena walks over to him and kneels down and pinned him to the ground, cutting off his air supply.
“Do you submit to me, Tony?” Alpha Athena asked
“Yes, Alpha,” Tony replied, showing her his neck.
“Now do I still have other challenges?” Alpha Athena asked
Not one person raised their hand or stepped forward to take her on. They knew they had no chance against her. Then they all walked back to the stage so she could finish what needed to be done tonight.
“Now that we have that out of the way. I am a fair and strong Alpha. I believe my pack is my family. They hurt if one of us is hurt. If one needs help, then the rest will lend a hand to help. Now if you do not agree with this outlook, then I will give you a few choices. Choice number one is that you can stay as me as your Alpha, choice two you can live your remaining days as a rogue, the last choice is you can join the Elite Pack. That is what I offer to you. I will make up three groups that go with the three choices. Toby will be your will go if you stayed here, Keme the big guy over there will be the choice of a rogue, future Alpha Aiden of the Elite Pack is that choice. Please go to the area that you wish to do.” Athena spoke with authority and watched as they all raced off to get to their spots. She saw five go to the rogue area then fifteen go to Elite pack. The rest went to Toby to stay with her. I think what surprised her most was that Tony the former Beta stayed. She walked over to the rogue group first.
“From this day forward they will know you as a rogue. You will seek another pack once you live as a rogue for a year. That is my command and it shall be done. Now you may leave the pack grounds.” Alpha Athena told them all. She and everyone around watched the five run off into the woods. Next, she walks over to the Elite group. You fifteen wish to join the Elite Pack and it is up to Alpha Aiden and his Beta if they will take you. I will let them take over you fifteen now and I will go to my pack now. I wish you all the best of luck. Toby, please have them all follow you to the clearing and get into a big circle please,” Athena asked him
“Yes, Alpha,” Toby replied
She watches as Toby takes them all to the clearing to get into the circle. She will do one big pack joining and it will take a bit.
“How are you holding up?” Rami asked as she walks to her
“Not too bad for what is about to happen. Let’s go get them added to us.” Athena voiced
They walked to the middle of the circle where Toby joined them. She looked at the hundred and five people standing in a circle to join her pack and told herself to get ready for this.
“As you can see Toby and Rami are already part of my pack. You will join them tonight. Your children as they get to where they can feel their wolves will come to me to have their wolf join the pack. I will say a speech that will join the whole pack at once you repeat it and I shake each of your hands. I will know if you have joined all the way or not. So does everyone understand? “She asked them all
Once she had seen that they all shook their heads and responded with a yes Alpha she was ready to begin.
“All brothers and sisters, whether born wolves or reborn
To the moon and our packs forever worn.
By the sun, the moon and the power of three
Spirits from the deep who never sleep, be kind to me.
Stars and spirits and powers that be,
Wolves of the woods that listen to me,
I accept you former River Moon Pack into my pack Moon Goddess Pack
This is my will, so mote it be.” Athena said out loud
“All brothers and sisters, whether born wolves or reborn
To the moon and our packs forever worn.
By the sun, the moon and the power of three
Spirits from the deep who never sleep, be kind to me.
Stars and spirits and powers that be,
Wolves of the woods that listen to me,
I accept you, Alpha Athena, as my Alpha of the Moon Goddess Pack” The whole pack said at once and she could feel the rush just waiting to join her. Athena walks to Tony first and shakes his hand and tells him welcome. She went around the whole circle telling each one welcome to the pack until she had shaken everyone’s hand. Once that was done, she looked around and they needed to run as a pack to strengthen the bond.
“Let’s all change into our wolves and run as a pack. Let us show that we stand together as one and that we will start the change with our pack to strengthen us.” Alpha Athena spoke
They all changed into their wolves and waited till their Alpha changed and when she did they couldn’t get over how big she was and beautiful. They ran for an hour and some did a little hunting and brought their Alpha some meat back. She showed her approval and ate some of each rabbit that was brought and gave the rest to the pack. To show she will not let her pack go hungry. Once everyone was done they changed back and went home she told everyone to meet back at the clearing in the morning.
“Aiden, what is your plan? In the morning I will need to go over these packs' finances. I was wondering if you were leaving or staying a little longer?” Athena asked
“I would stay a little while longer to help you out if that is okay with you,” Aiden replied
“Oh, that’s fine. I could use the help with the finance and the list of what all will need to be done to get this place looking good for everyone.” Athena voiced
“That’s why I am staying for now. I have called Gamma Eric to come here and collect the men to take them to my father so they can get to know their new pack. I am very proud of how you have handled everything that has come your way. You will do this pack proud and make it one of the best. I can see that.” Aiden acknowledged
“Thank you, I wasn’t expecting that from you. I hope I can live up to all that and more. I hope I can do all that the Goddess wants me to do.” Athena said then walked off to find a place to sleep. Aiden also went to find a place to sleep in the packhouse. The morning seemed to come quick, and they were back at the clearing with the pack. Aiden and Keme stayed back at the packhouse waiting on Eric and someone else to show up and get the new pack members that were going to the Elite Pack.
“Good Morning, family. I want to know where everyone ranks. So we will do a stare-down. I will know by how long you can stare at someone to know what rank you are. So me being the Alpha will not work. So I have asked my brother to come back this way once he is done to help with ranking all of you. That way we can build our pack up and be one of the best. We can’t do that unless we know everyone's strengths and weaknesses. Do you have any questions?” Alpha Athena asked
“Alpha, how do we stare at your brother and tell you how strong we are? Shouldn’t we fight for rank?” One member asked
“Anyone can be a good fighter or a poor fighter. Not everyone has the mental state to handle working with an Alpha or Beta daily. I can have over one Beta and Gamma and over one Delta. Then we can have warriors, healers, counselors. That all has different strengths for our pack. A beta is not only strong but smart and can teach. He is a role model for his people. Does that answer your question?” Alpha Athena wondered
“Yes, Alpha thank you.”
“Another question? Well, please hold all questions now because my brother is on his way here to help us out now.” Alpha Athena announced
“Hello, everyone. My name is Beta Keme. I am here to help you all to see what rank you are. It will be rated by how long you can stare at me without looking away. I will put you into groups that will help us know your strengths. Then we will test you to see where your other strengths line up to what we are a good place for you in the pack. Does everyone understand? “Beta Keme asked
Everyone shook their heads, yes, and he went down the line with everyone. There were some strong men in the pack and some strong women. There were a few middle strengths and lower levels. We seven that ranked as a beta in strength, eight that ranked as a gamma, twelve that ranked as a delta, eight as an omega, the rest fell between delta and omega. So which was good. There was a wide variety of strength in the pack.
“Thank you all once we have lunch we will test everyone on their mentality to see what job fits them best within the pack. This doesn’t mean you can’t learn other jobs or that you can’t move up. It just means for now this is where you will start from. So go have lunch and then report to the packhouse for testing, thank you.” Alpha Athena voiced
They all went to lunch and were a little nervous about the testing that was coming next. They have had no one want to know them and care about what they can do. They wonder if this will last or if it will go back to being bad or worse. They didn’t have a lot of hope of it becoming better. Athena could hear how her pack was thinking, and she needed to make sure that their minds had changed about her and their outlook on the pack. When lunch was over the pack showed up at the packhouse and she did it by the groups they were in at the clearing. That way she could learn names and rank as they took their test. She will see who will be her lead Beta and beta and then lead gamma and gamma, Lead Delta and Delta. Then we will need a Lead warrior and warriors, lead scouts and scouts, lead healers and healers, Lead counselor and councilor, child caretakers. Once she sees who is who she will get them started in making this place, a proud place to be. The testing took about two hours to get everyone done.
“Now everyone thank you for doing this. Now I need to know how many buildings we have on pack land and how many need repair or just needs to be rebuilt. We will need a list of all the things that need to be done so we can make this a pack we are proud of. So please break up into three teams and I want each of you to make a list of everything you see that needs to be done. I want to see how each group works together.” Alpha Athena told them and they all took off to do what she had asked of them. Then she goes back in to look over all the tests to see who ranked where. Toby ranked as a Beta, Tony ranked as a Beta, Lee ranked as a beta, Tom ranked as a warrior, there were four other warriors, Rami as a counselor, Tim as a councilor, Becky as a healer, Rick as a healer and two other healers, Hunter as a gamma, Becky as a gamma, Fred as a Delta, Lisa as a Delta, Stacy as a scout, and Mark as a scout along with four other scouts. Then I had four omegas turn out to be child caretakers. Even had a few come as cooks so that will be good. Once they bring me back the list, I will go over all the ranks in the back and make it so. That way everyone feels useful in the pack and will be respected even the omegas. They will learn that the omega is the heart of our pack because they are the ones that need us the most. They give their love to everyone and are the caregivers to our children. So much this pack still has to learn, before we can move forward. Why me? I know you picked me Goddess, but why? I have to know Why me?
