Alora’s POV

The Alpha had us all in the same arrangement as before, we would follow him, Serenity, and I in her Jeep, Darien, Kian, and Galan bringing up the rear in his car. The ride to the Pack House would take about an hour from here. Fortunately, I’ve always paid for my own cell phone, and plan. My parents never would have gotten me one, and after what happened, had they, they would have had it
disconnected immediately.
So when Serenity asked for me to play my music list I was able to connect my phone to her stereo and open the app. The first song that
plays when I hit shuffle is Ride of the Valkyries by Brothers of Metal. We listened to that a bit turned up, then she turned it down a bit.
“You did what you did to protect us didn’t you?” she asked me. I stayed silent for a bit, reluctant to admit it to her, but I wouldn’t ignore
her question.
“I’ve never had so much to lose, and now that I have it, I will protect it with every bit of power and strength that I have,” I said to her, the
next song came on, it was Jungle Juice by Ganja White Night & Liquid Stranger, she peaks at me.
“I’m glad to be counted as something important to you,” she says with a blush. I let out a small laugh “I’m glad you are someone I can call
a friend. I tell her.
“So how do you think the boys are doing?” she asks me. I look back behind us at the boys.
They all seemed to be talking, they were smiling, and each looked like they were laughing here and there in their conversation. “They look like they’re having fun, their male bonding time seems to be a success,” I say with laughter in my voice.
Serenity giggles. It’s such a nice day for me, a medium gray overcast, a warm wind smelling of rain, and the sun still shining through despite the clouds, the temperate a comfortable eighty–seven degrees. The rain–scented wind carried the scent of wet earth and flowers. Everything around us was deep greens, dark browns, and flowers of all colors all along the long road to Moonstar Territory the Current
Pack House, and other houses.
With the families growing bigger four more large Houses were built, they were set in a way to form a football field–sized courtyard in the middle of them. The Garages for the vehicles connecting the houses lead into common areas on the bottom tier, the second tier above hosted larger common areas, and the third opened onto porch areas with half of the porch covered and screened in with plenty of lounging outdoor furniture.
The courtyard had a very tall old willow in the middle, there were four stone benches set in a wide circle under the tree’s dripping vines.
There was a white wicker gazebo that had climbing vines and bushes of different colored hydrangeas all around, the courtyard seemed to
be made up of several different gardens.
There was a pond with a Japanese–style walking bridge over It, surrounded by stones. There were water lilies and colorful kol in the pond.
It was visible from one of the stone benches under the willow vines. There were some trees with blue flowers, some that had purple
leaves for a time, and some with red,
There were so many different kinds of flowers in different groupings, and bushes in all ranges of colors, I had been told once this place

was loosely modeled after the Heartsong Mansion, only the Heartsong was nearly six times the size of the Moonstar Mansion. The
Courtyard is said to be the size of six–foot ball fields, the house was five stories and built in the shape of a Hexagon.

I wondered if the bedrooms there were like the ones that were in this packed house. “So have you ever been to the Moonstar Pack
House? Serenity asks me, getting back my attention. “Yeah, a long time ago, do you remember about ten years ago the pack was in an
uproar about a pup who was tossed into the river while it was swollen during the Annual Pack picnic, I ask her.
