Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

I looked out over the two new houses being built at the edge of the small town that were continuing to grow. I couldn’t

believe I had been here for over three years. One of the new houses was for a lone wolf we had recruited. Ramses had

been with us four almost half a year and he was fitting in like he had always been with us. The other house was for one of

the pack who had found her mate during one of the allied parties we had started to attend. The two had chosen to settle

down in our pack. We were slowly growing. It was important to all of us that we didn’t grow too fast. I turned around and

headed back to the pack house for breakfast. The fall air was clear and the red and yellow leaves were slowly falling.

“How does it look?” Finlay asked as he came walking from the other direction and met me by the front door to the pack

house.

“They are coming along great. It looks like they will be waterproof before the first storm hits,” I told him as we walked

inside.

“Perfect.” We sat down at our usual table and Matilda joined us and started talking about the next hide and seek

tournament. They were a beloved twice yearly tradition by now. Jake proved with each one that his skills were developing.

There was the usual chatter in the dining hall. It all felt familiar by now. Suddenly, the room got dead quiet and everyone

scented the air. I was the first one out of my chair and hurrying over to Medow, sweeping her up in a tight hug.

“Congratulations!” I shouted. The room burst out in activity as everyone wanted to congratulate the expecting parents.

Finlay and Martin were congratulating Sam, who desperately tried to keep an eye on Medow. Medow was thanking

everyone for their well wishes with a blush on her cheeks and a hand on her stomach. Sam finally managed to get away

from his friends and get to Medow’s side and place an arm around her.

“Don’t fuss,” she told him as he was about to object to the next batch of pack mates that wanted to congratulate the

couple.

“Oh, just let him. It’s part of the experience,” Matilda said as she beamed a smile at the couple.

“Finally, someone sane,” Sam said, sounding relieved. After reluctantly letting the rest of the pack congratulate them,

Sam guided Medow to our table and had her sit down. She looked at me, rolled her eyes, and then giggled. I got the

impression she didn’t hate it nearly as much as she pretended to. Which was good as we would have seven months of
