I watched as we were driving away to go park 102

ALPHA ERIC: After talking with Alpha Camron, I look around at the group of people standing around. I notice one of the
princes standing behind a pup that looks to be about 16, and another girl that also looks to be about the same age, with
a ranked wolf standing behind her. As I watch both men wrap their arms around the girls protectively “No need to worry I
have my mate.” I say to them. They both nod at me. I am assuming that the blond is Alpha Drake’s daughter. I approach
her. “So what part is the secret? The fact that you leave the pack grounds, or the fact that you brought an unknown wolf
onto pack territory?” She looks to the other girl who just nods. “The later, the Alpha had us followed a while back, so he
knows we leave the territory for our lessons.” She answers my question. “You call him Alpha, not dad or father?” “No,
because he is not my parent, he is my alpha.” She answers again. Now I am confused. “You are not the alpha’s
daughter?” “No alpha I am not.” I watch as her eyes glaze over. Then she smiles, trying to contain her laughter. “What am
I missing?” I asked. “It is the first time someone has mistaken Mackie for the alpha family.” I hear from behind me. I turn
and see the auburn-haired girl speaking. “You are the alpha’s daughter?” She in turn nods her head at me. “My
apologies.” I say to her. “No need to apologize to me, alpha.” She says. I get the feeling that most don’t realize she is
alpha blooded. “I made the mistake of assuming she was alpha because of her hair color.” I said. She again smiles at me.
“Again, no worries alpha. Most don’t realize I am from the alpha family due to my coloring.” “So, your father knows you
leave the pack lands to go to aikido lessons? What exactly is aikido?” “It’s an oriental martial arts form of defense.” She
says. “He allows you to leave?” “It’s a long and complicated issue Alpha, he didn’t know at first, and then he had me
followed, that is when he learned about it.” She tells me. I get the feeling that she doesn’t really want to tell her story,
afraid to make her pack look bad. So, I don’t push beyond what I have. I go to my men. “We will help them out, and how
you came about finding her will also change.” I tell my men. We will keep the secret. I tell them. “Yes Alpha.” They say.
“You all will go to the human town that’s just up the road, I believe that the young prince and the others will be going as well, the story will be that you accompanied them on their outing, and he found her in the bakery. Understood?” “Yes
Alpha.” “Good.” I then walk back to alpha Camron, “My men are on board, the story is that they accompanied the prince
and his companions on an outing to the human town and they found her in the bakery.” He nods his head.
CAMRON: “Ok everyone, here’s how this is going to play out, to minimize the blow back. You accompanied the prince,
and the alpha’s daughter on their outing,she wanted to go to the town to get things for a picnic lunch, you all went with her, and came across Ailea and her son in the bakery. Instead of coming back to the cabin you will go to the front
gate to come back onto pack territory so she can be recognized as Smith’s mate.” I tell the group as a whole. They all
nod at me, in understanding. I watch as they all leave following Keska to the border where they could cross it to get to
the town. I then turn back to alpha Eric, “I have one more request, or favor to ask of you, if I may?” “Ask, I can’t promise
anything until I hear what it is.” He says. I motion for us to head back towards the pack house. “I will not repeat her full
story to you, but I will tell you she is from Stone Claw Pack.” He whistles. “She’s a long way from home.” I nod. “Whith
good reason, there in is the reason for the request, I would like to trade lead trainers, just for a month, so that my men
and women can be well versed in different fighting styles and techniques.” I say to him. “You expect trouble from them?”
“Unfortunately, I do.” I say. “I would be more than happy to trade lead trainers for a month. It will also help my pack be
better as well.” He says and I nod. We get back to the pack house and go about our business before we get the call to
head to the front gate.
DRAKE: I get a link from the guards at the front gate. “Alpha, we have some people here at the gate that say they are part
of the ball.” “So, what seems to be the issue than?” “They didn’t leave through the front gate, or any of the other gates.”
“On my way.” I close the link and head down to the front gate. I see the youngest prince, his best friend, 4 warriors,
Keska, Mackie, and another female I don’t recognize. “Keska care to tell me what is going on?” “We went for a walk, and I wanted to go to the hunting cabin, and have a picnic lunch, so we decided to head over to the town to get stuff for our
lunch and Alpha Camron’s man here found his mate.” She tells me. “You didn’t think to link someone to let them know
what you were doing, or where you were going?” I ask her. “It has never been an issue before.” She says. “You have never
taken a prince with you before, what if there would have been trouble?” “We were there Alpha; they were not alone.” One of the warriors speaks up. “What packs are you from?” “Harvest Moon.” The warrior with his mate says pointing to
one of the others, “Midnight Sky” one of the others says. “Please link your Alpha’s to come to the front gate.” I tell them,
and watch as their eyes glaze over. We only wait about 5 minutes before Camron and Erick show up. “What’s going on?”
Erick asked. “Just want to verify that they are your men.” I say to him. He scans the group and points out his two warriors.
“Yes those two are mine.” He says. “Those two are mine.” Camron says pointing at his two. I nod and wave to let them
back onto pack land. I turn to Camron “He claims she is his mate, let me know if you need help sorting that out.” I tell
him. He nods his understanding to me. “Kes my office.” I say to my daughter. “Yes father.” She moves to follow me, as
does the prince. “I need to speak to her alone your highness.” I say to him. He glares at me but stays put. I can feel
several sets of eyes on me as I turn and head back inside and up to my office with Kes following me. I close the door
behind us. “What were you thinking?” I asked her “I was just thinking that it would be kind of fun to have a picnic, but we
didn’t bring anything with us, but I knew we could buy the food that we wanted at the store in the huma
