“No need to thank me, it is my job as your Commander to look out for you, and that goes for each and every one of you.” I look around the room to make sure that they know I mean every word before I hand out the files to my team Captains and ask them to take a look at them.
“I want you to tell me which team will be best suited to handle it,” I say as I start reading the file for our first assignment. I can see that both units tried their best to resolve it, but they forgot to ask the important questions.
An hour later, I hand the assignments to the best-suited teams, and it doesn’t surprise me that every team Captain knew which team would be best suited to handle it.
“Our first assignment will be a unit assignment, two Packs are after the same piece of land to add to their territory, and neither Alpha is willing to make a compromise. I want to know how long that territory has been vacant. I want to know what the reason for wanting the territory might be.
We will head out there and ask both Alphas to join us at the territory they are after, and we will listen to both sides. After that, I will give them a solution to their problem; if they don’t accept it, I will inform the King and let him deal with it. As King, he can order them to accept the solution we provide, but it will always be a last resort.” I tell them.
We all pack a bag, knowing we won’t be home for a few days, and I see Flora place something between the door of our wing before she locks it. “Why are you doing that?”
“A few of us have this feeling that someone has been entering our wing. It started about a week ago, and I want to know if our feelings are correct.” She answers me.
“If the card is still in place when we return, we were mistaken and have to figure out what could have given us uneasy feelings. If the card is on the floor, then someone has been in our Quarters. Which means that we need to investigate further.” Faith explains.
“Good thinking, but next time come talk to me,” I tell her, and we head out to the SUVs, heading out to Silver Dawn Pack.
“Find a place to pull over. I could use something to eat.” I say through the mind-link, and after a few minutes, the first SUV takes a right turn.
An hour before we reach the territory, we make a stop at a diner, a short drive from the main road. Hidden away between some trees, I see a small wooden structure, and for a moment, I fear it won’t be big enough for us.
While we enjoy our meal, we talk about what Danica and Orson discovered through our mind-link, because we don’t want anyone to overhear us. Once I have all the answers, I need to talk to the Alphas, and I also have the solution for this dispute.
“What was your life growing up, Commander?” Waylen asks out of nowhere, and for a moment, I think about how to answer him.
“Different from most high-ranking shifters. I spent most of my time with my father or my brothers, helping them with their tasks to the best of my abilities. Filing papers, getting coffee, or answering the phone.
Not that my father was too fond of that specific task, though. I thought I knew how to answer the phone in his office, but I hadn’t counted on a toddler’s speech.” I look at Waylen for a moment.
“What happened, Commander?” He asks, still looking at me.
“Hello, Boo Livel. Who you want?” I say with a soft, high-pitched voice, and I see his jaw drop. “Luckily, it was one of my father’s oldest friends, and he had a good laugh about it. I thought he was making fun of me and hung up.”
I quietly eat my lunch while the others try their best to stop laughing and failing, of course.
“He called back after a few minutes, and this time my father answered. I got scolded for hanging up on the guy and was no longer allowed to answer the phone. Unfortunately for my father, that didn’t stop me from doing it anyway.” I continue before we pay our bill and head out again.
Our first stop is at Silver Dawn Pack. I get out of the SUV to walk over to the Guards at the gate.
“Tell your Alpha to be at the corner of your north-east border in an hour, no excuses,” I say, and I walk away before he can answer me. I get back into the SUV to drive to Red Forest Pack.
At Red Forest Pack, I give the Guard my message for the Alpha to be at the corner of their north-west border in an hour, and again, I don’t wait for an answer, getting back in the SUV to head to the territory they are fighting over.
When we arrive at the agreed-upon location, I see a lot of Warriors on both sides of the border, and it looks like they are about to go to war, well, not on my watch.
