Chapter 27

Grayson had disappeared almost for two days and I had taken over the duties of Alpha while he built up our defense.

The area the wolf had gotten into had never been barricaded but now they were building a wall. I still had no clue as to why this was so serious.

I now took over all relations, trade details, the progress of exports and goods, warrior training oversight, and transitioning wolf problems. My days were endless but I gladly took on the job for my pack and my mate.

I had to start by looking at the crops and making sure that we had enough for a profit. The small profit we could make. I went over which ones were more expensive to raise and which ones needed could be distributed elsewhere. I left notes on where these foods were popular and we could try and distribute them there for higher profit.

We were growing a lot of potatoes, then there were the apples and Grapes. I was surprised athos much we had but I felt we were missing an opportunity eventually I wanted to talk to Grayson about brewing hard apple cider and barreling wine.

He had so many exports for the pack no wonder it felt like paradise here. Then I had to go to the greenhouses.

The greenhouses were where the ramie was grown for the fabric. Since we were high in the mountains there was enough sunlight for them and the greenhouses took care of the climate.

I wasn’t much for humidity so I got out of there as quickly as possible. The plants were not what I expected. They were tall and looked more like grass than a fabric producing plant.

The women were the main people who wove the fabric. It was good for wolves because of its durability so this is where most of our money was made.

I made sure that if the weavers had anything they wanted for production written down. If they needed new looms, stools, threading hooks and needles. Their stools were just wooden logs.

T

Greyson please tell me you can at least me sensible to agree to cushioned seats.

I shook my head at his senselessness. He ran the pack logically but sometimes having more empathy could help increase production of goods.

It was towards the end of classes for the pups which meant they would have a break soon. This meant that the classrooms in the main building needed attention.

What I had thought was the clinic was more a mash up of community jobs, medical, and school. Grayson spent everyday here. It was called the keep.

I had to look at the classrooms and school supplies.

Oh Grayson!

They were still using chalkboards! Grayson Adams, you are surprising.

I wrote down that we could get whiteboards in every classroom. Then I went over the classroom supplies. Paper,

pencils, new chairs, markers, globes, the list was endless.

I turned my head to the teachers who explained that we should have more than one extra chair in each classroom. Packs only grow in size until they decide to split. We had more and more children every year we needed more room.

“Luna I think we should focus less on defensive lessons and more on art, math, science,” one teacher spoke up to me.

“Really? We’re a warrior race. If they aren’t taught how to handle their aggression in a healthy manner they’ll become violent and fateful.”

I understand skills used outside of the pack but if physical strength and hormones arent addressed in wolves. Those

wolves turn into killers.
