Starting The Remodel

“Toby can you bring the two guys that we just let into the pack that does construction. I want to talk to them about the plans I have for the town. How we can bring in humans as tourists and stuff.” Athena said

“Wait, you want to bring humans here?” Toby asked

“Yes, how can we protect them and understand them if we don’t mingle with them? We are part human so we need to learn to act like them.” Athena said

“Ok, I can see your point on that. Let me go get them and bring them here. I think they were in the living room.” Toby said

“Athena, what are you thinking about? How will we bring humans here to help us to make money?” Tony asked

“I want to make this an extreme zip lining park and more. I want to have shops and stuff so we can have money coming in and we can start the change that way. To show that we can live among them without hurting them and not telling them who we are it’s the first step.” Athena explained

“That sounds like a plan. I think that would work. It’s also a good place to start, I can’t wait to be a part of it.” Tony said

Toby and the other two guys walked in that I had asked for. They looked a little scared but eager at the same time.

“I asked for you guys to come in to talk about your help in remodeling the town and bring in a new look and more life to the town. I want you guys to help work with Tony, Toby and Lee and Rami and myself. We will go for extreme zip lining and more. I want to see the plans and designs of your ideas. Also if anyone had ideas about shops, or other businesses that we can bring in would be heard.” Athena explained.

“Alpha I think we can help with that. When would you like to start on the plans?” Fred asked

“I would like you two to get some drawings done and some ideas going to meet all of us here in a week so we can talk more. In the meantime, we need to get all the houses fixed up and start looking at building a school. Can we get that started tomorrow?” Athena asked

“Yes Alpha we can start that tomorrow. I will need a truck and a way to order supplies for all that we will need. Or a way to order them online.” Rick said

“Tony or Toby can help you with ordering stuff online until we can get a work truck of our own. I will have a card ready for you tomorrow to start ordering and have your list ready on what you will need to start with.” Athena said

“Thank you Alpha, we will have a list ready by dinner time and get with you then,” Rick said and Tim just shook his head in agreement.

“Hey, sis let’s go to the gym and work out a little. I am sure you need a good workout. You're looking a little off.” Keme said as he walked out the door laughing

“I see you want to get your ass kicked in front of everyone, and as far as me looking off you should look at yourself dear brother,” Athena replied while following her brother out the door.

I saw that my brother was in a mood to tease me and wanted to play like old times. I guess it’s as good as time as ever to show my pack some moves. I know they will want to watch me and my brother. That way they can see some things they will learn. I walk into the gym and a lot of my pack here and then I see the gym needs to be improved upon. I will add that to my list.

“Keme are you wanting to show everyone how to take a fall today?” Athena asked

“Oh, come on baby sister we all know that I will pin you and I will then spank your butt,” Keme said laughing

“Why do you think? Did you learn anything new that I haven’t taught you?” Athena said taunting him.

“Get in the ring little sister,” Keme replied

I climbed into the ring and looked at him with his shirt off and he was looking like he was up to something. He would not play fair today. I can see it all over his face. Then neither will I if he wants to do it this way. He started circling me and I waited for his move which I knew very well. He jumped towards my back and I moved to the side with an upward kick. He landed face-first on the mat. He could sweep my leg to where I lost my balance then I see what his game plan is he would have Aiden help him. I will use this to my advantage to show my pack what to do when outnumbered. I laid there waiting on both of them to make a move and then I sensed that Keme figured out what I would do and yelled no Aiden it’s a trap. But by then it was too late for Aiden. He jumped at me and I knocked him off his feet. When Keme yelled out I had him pinned to the ground and knocked my brother on the ground beside him all before Aiden realized what had happened to them both. I got up and looked over at them. Everyone cheered and was laughing at all that happened.

“You never learn and this time you got Aiden involved, and you both lost. When will you learn that I know your moves brother and figured you were going to bring someone else in to help to see if you could get the best of me. Don’t you remember he used to try that with me too” Athena said with a laugh and her pack cheering her on?

“Thank you, everyone. That is just some things I would like to teach you. Remember warriors you have training in the morning with Keme at five am but anyone is welcome to come and learn.” Athena announced and walked out of the gym to go get cleaned up for dinner. How am I to act when I go to the Elite pack now? I beat another Alpha for his pack and now I have to have a meeting with the council and then my dad’s council I will have to meet with. My dad will find out soon about me. He will try to take my pack or get me them to take me away from being an Alpha. I will not go down without a fight and he knows that. I think that is what he really wants. They brought me out of my head when I heard a knock at the door of my room.

“Yes, who is it?” Athena asked

“It’s Tony, May I come in?” Tony asked

“Sure, come in Tony. How can I help you?” Athena voiced

“I wanted to let you know that dinner is ready and ask if I may speak with you about the town remodel after dinner?” Tony asked in wondered

“Sure that shouldn’t be a problem, Rick and Tim are supposed to have the list ready of what they will need as well so we can order that too. I want to set up accounts for a lot of different places so we can order when we need and the bills get sent to me so we can keep an account for everything like we are supposed to. Let’s walk down to dinner and afterward we can go to the office and talk.” Athena said

“Sounds good. Thank you” Tony replied

They walked into the dining room and could smell the wonderful food coming out of the kitchen. Everyone was there and was all just talking away with each other. I sat down in my seat and waited for the others to join me. Then Amy and her staff came out carrying all the wonderful smelling food to the table. It looks like ribs and mashed potatoes and salad. She even had rolls done up.

“Amy you and your staff have outdone yourselves. Thank you for all that you do for this pack. I know I will gain a lot of weight with your cooking skills. I also would like to talk to you sometime this week about updating the kitchen and other ideas. I also want to hear what you would like for the kitchen since you and your staff are the ones that use it the most.” Athena said with a big smile on her face

“Thank you, Alpha. I would enjoy the conversation with you whenever you're free.” Amy replied

They all sat back down and enjoyed the meal that was put in front of them. The pack was growing and learning to work together just like she had hoped. Now if we can just get this remodel going to help all the families and this pack, we could really show what this pack is made of. I finished up dinner with the pack and I stood after giving Amy and her staff thanks one more time. Then I headed to my office to wait for Tony and whoever that wants to talk with me to come to my office. It was only fifteen minutes when Tony knocked on my office door.

“Come in Tony,” Athena told him

“Alpha can we talk now or are you busy?” Tony asked

“I was waiting for you Tony to come and talk like you asked earlier,” Athena replied

“Oh ok, you said you wanted to do an extreme zip lining for the town. Is that right?” Tony asked

“Yes Tony, I think it would be fun for everyone. Do you have any other ideas that we can do here?” Athena asked

“Yes, I was thinking we could also do boating or Kayaking since we have the lake and the river that runs through our woods that we could try. I like to do those things and I am sure others would. What do you think?” Tony asked with a little nervousness in his voice.

“That sounds like fun to me. Write up the idea and I will need a list of all the supplies that will be needed to get your idea off the ground. Then the price that you would charge and things like that and get it back to me and we can see if it will be profitable. Does that work for you?” Athena asked

“Yes, thank you for giving me this chance. Also, I think we should start with the families' houses first, Then the school and so forth. I have been thinking I could help and if we get enough people to help, we can have several crews get more done at one time.” Tony voiced

“I was thinking the same thing. That’s why I asked Tim and Rick to make us a list of all the supplies that we would need so we could get started right away. They should bring us that list here soon.” Athena announced

Just then they both hear a knock at the door and Tony walks over to answer the door. Tim and Rick were standing at the door.

“Come in Tim and Rick. You have the list for me right?” Athena asked them both

“Yes, we have a list of supplies but we also have some plans drawn up that we think you might like or at least we hope you do,” Tim replied

“Ok, Hand me the list first then let’s go to the big table there and lay out the plans so we can look at them. Tony and you clean that table off so we will have room please?” Athena said

“Yes, Alpha,” Tony replied

Once the table was cleared they laid the plans out on the table for all of them to look over.

“Here is the packhouse. So we want to build all the family housing near the packhouse so they have better protection. Then do the training center on the other side of the packhouse.” Tim explained

“Then if you go to where the family houses are now and the small town you can see we made the school there and a small medical facility for the tourists if they would need it. Then there are a lot of shops for crafts and clothing with our town name and stuff. Then if you take the trail towards the lake, you can see we set the Zip lining building up there and we can go through this section of woods with it and still have a lot of the woods for the wolves. Then if we want to do anything else, there is still room in the zip lining building to use as well for that.” Rick explained.

“Wow, you guys went all out on this and thought about it in a short time. I like what I saw so far, but you forgot about the diner just inside our territory that anyone of the packs around can come to that we have a treaty with. I like what I see and I think this will work. What do you think Tony?” Athena wanted to know what everyone thought, so she called for the rest of the pack members in the high ranks to come to her office. While we were waiting for the others Tony was telling me what he thought.

“I think it would work once we get it all together and see who can help,” Tony replied

Then there was a knock at the door and Tony answered the door. He let the others in which included my brother and Aiden.

“Athena we need to talk as soon as you have a minute. It’s important.” Aiden said

“Ok let me talk to everyone about these plans and then we can talk,” Athena replied

“Ok sounds good,” Aiden said

“Everyone, I need you to look over the plans and tell me what you think. Rick and Tim can explain anything that you may have questions on. If everyone is in agreement, then we need to find people to help make it happen. I will also talk to the council to see if they know any people who can help with the rebuild.” Athena said

Once everyone gave what they thought they all said they would see who can help and figure out what family house they needed to start on first. Then they all left so I could talk with Aiden.

“Ok, Aiden what’s on your mind?” Athena asked

“Dad mind linked me and told me that the council will be in tomorrow to talk with you at the Elite Pack grounds. They want to talk with your brother and they want you to show them your strengths and what you have done with this pack so far and your plans for the future. You will need to leave two of your betas here and take one beta and gamma with you tomorrow. We need to be there at first light.” Aiden explained

“That is short notice. I was hoping they would have given me some notice before they just showed up. Why are they in such a hurry now? What has them in such a rush to jump into this so fast?” Athena asked

“Well, I guess your dad is starting up with other packs trying to find you and the other packs are not liking what he is doing. So they are hoping once they can take care of this with you and then maybe he will settle down and let everything go once he sees that you have support from a lot of other packs.” Aiden said

“Ok, all we can do is try to hope that I don’t have to fight him. I would really hate to hurt my father, but I will if he hurts my family or my pack.” Athena warned

“I know. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. I will also ask my dad to see if we have anyone willing to come to help you with all the construction that needs to be done here.” Aiden said

“Thanks, Aiden your family has been wonderful through all of this.” Athena expressed my gratitude never seems to be enough to me when it comes to Aiden’s family and pack.
