***Rowen***

Dad, and I have spent all week with Theo, Gloria, Trent, and Kyle. It’s been an interesting experience. Theo, and I spent a lot of time with the trainers for his warrior program, as well as reviewing all of the information from his program, and mine. The more he read about my program the more impressed he was. The program his father started, and my program could be combined seamlessly, and I was really excited about it.

We’re decided that the program will continue at his pack until the facility I am building is complete, which should be ready the beginning of next summer. In the meantime, when I return I am going to select the people I want to be the trainers in my program, and send them to his pack to learn directly from him trainers so that when to program moves his trainers can finally retire.

While with him we also established a new trade agreement with him for textiles for two of our seamstresses. Both have been interested in the fabrics he’s been producing, but hadn’t come to my father or I about them before we came here. I felt good about that fact that while we were taking something from his pack, we were able to give something in return.

The down side to being here has been Trent. He’s been rude, difficult, and uninterested. At some points he was down right hostile. Unfortunately he is the stronger one between him, and his younger brother so being the next Alpha does fall on him. It’s disappointing to see how uninterested he is in learning how to be a good Alpha. He truly believes he can do the job without any training, to the point he thinks he can do it better than his father. The really difficult thing for me to hear was when he stated that no pack or Alpha needs anyone else. It made an Alpha weak to rely on, talk with, work with, or otherwise have anything to do with anyone from any other pack. Nothing his father could say could change his mind. Dad, and I stayed out of it, but it worried me for the future of their pack.

By Friday Theo, and Gloria were giving serious thought to sending him early for training with another Alpha until Alpha school starts for him in two years. Unfortunately Dad, and I just can’t take him on. I am still learning the intricacies of my pack leaving little time for dad to work with Theo. After some calls by Theo, Trent may find himself at Dark Moon with Jeremy, and Robert with Jeremy being his teacher. I felt. for how hard it would be for them to send their son away early, but I think they felt like they had no choice if they wanted what was best for the future of their pack. I wished them luck.

Now it’s Friday evening, after dinner, and I’m in my room, video chatting with Chastity as I finish up my final proposal to Theo. We leave Saturday afternoon to head home, but Theo wants my full plan for the training program the following morning so he can review it, and put his stamp of approval on it. He wants to make sure the program his father started will continue to be a success in the hands of another,

Chastity is working on a paper she has due on Monday for one of her classes. I still enjoy being on video chat with her as we both work on our own thing. It’s almost like she is there with me. We don’t even have to speak, but just being able to see her face as I work will do, for now. I can’t wait until the day we’re side by side working together though. Sadly that is over two years away. That does make our relationship difficult, but I’m determined to do whatever she needs me to do for her.

I’m just focusing back on my work after staring at her beautiful face for a full minute when my door opens without someone knocking first. To say I tensed, and prepared to attack, would be an understatement. It took me a second to calm down when I saw that it was Trent entering my room. He slammed my door, and flopped onto the couch.

“You know it’s rude to enter someone’s room without knocking first, right? It’s also dangerous. I could have very easily attacked you.” I stated.

“My house. I can do what I want, and go where I want. I’m also an Alpha so I out rank you.” Trent snorted.

“You would be incorrect. Alpha’s still need permission to invade the space of another, unless that person is a criminal, doing harm to another, or is in need of immediate help. Along with that, you forget I am an Alpha. On top of that, I am Alpha with extensive training, while you have very little.”

“You certainly don’t act like an Alpha. Hanging on my wimpy father’s coat tails, following him around, asking all kinds of stupid questions.”

“Your father is not a wimp. He is a very intelligent male. He’s also an amazing Alpha. One I respect very much. Yes I am asking your father questions because he is teaching me things I need to know for the program I am taking over for him. I want this program to be a success, and the no one knows the entire program better than your father, other than your grandfather, who sadly isn’t with us for me to ask him about it.”

“You have no business taking anything from us.”

“Your father asked me. You were there when he did. He is looking out for the good of the program, and knows your pack can no longer provide that. He is also looking out for your pack by letting go of

something that is quickly becoming a financial strain on your pack. One that your pack cannot afford to have. He is making the best choice for everyone.”

“Whatever man. You don’t know shit. As soon as I am Alpha I’ll take over the surrounding packs, and make mine better than every pack out there.”

“And how do you plan to do that?”

“Take out their idiot, weak, and worthless Alphas. None of them are worth shit. A bunch of weak whiners who think working together makes them better. It doesn’t. It just makes them look as weak as they are because they can’t take care of their own pack without bugging someone else for help. A strong Alpha doesn’t need anyone.”

“You have a lot to learn when it comes to being a good, strong Alpha. You also have a lot to learn about the laws governing all of us. The King won’t stand for that.”

“I don’t give a shit about him. He means nothing to me.”

“I would think again. All of us, every werewolf, Alpha’s included answer to the King. We always have, and we always will. If we break his laws, we lose everything. What you’re talking about is treason to all werewolves.”

“Whatever man. He’s shit any way.”

“What the hell?” I heard Chastity say, sounding shocked.

“Who was that?” Trent asked, perking up.

“My mate.” I stated with a smile.

“Mate? Fuck that noise. Who needs a mate? Alpha’s don’t need mates. Alpha’s need a harem of females. No one female can take care of an Alpha’s needs.” Trent grumbled.

“Rowen, who is that?” Chastity asked.

“Trent.” I responded.

easy

“Let me see what she looks like.” Trent walked over to my computer, and turned it to look at my Chastity.” That? That is your mate? Man did you get the short end of the stick. There’s nothing to her. Hang up. I have a few females that were 100 times better than she could ever be.”

“Get the hell out of my room, now! That is my mate, and NO ONE will speak about her like that to me.” I growled as I stood up, grabbed Trent’s collar, and walked him to the door.

“Get your damn hands off me. You have no business touching me. I’m the Alpha around here, and you aren’t shit! You want to settle for some piece of trash like that, you’re weaker than I thought.” Trent grumbled as I walked him to the door.

“You have no clue what you’re talking about, and you’re in for one rude awakening.” I growled as I pushed him out into the hall, and shut the door.

After taking a deep breath, I walked back to my computer, and sat down. I looked over Chastity’s face. I was really worried about how what he said would effect her. She look more confused than upset, much to my relief.

“I’m sorry about that sweet girl.” I said quietly.

“Why are you sorry? You didn’t say all of that stuff.” Chastity responded.

“Yeah, but….”

“Rowen, you didn’t do anything wrong. You also stood up for me when he said that about me. Not that he said much. What is his problem?”

“If I had to guess, the fact that he’s the son of the Alpha, and teenage hormones.”

“He’s the one you’ve been telling me about all week, right?”
