“All I know is that she left when Meadow was about two years old and according to Rebel she is no longer alive. They can’t feel a bond with her, so I believe that Rebel is correct.” Hayden answers.
“Who the Fuck is Rebel?” Dad asks.
“Meadow’s Lycan. She showed up about three weeks before Rufus turned eighteen, neither of them understood why and it wasn’t until his birthday that they figured it out. Rufus was Meadow’s fated Mate and he knew that she was his fated Mate.” Hayden says.
No one says a word, we are all trying to see if Hayden is pulling our chains.
“Hold on. You are saying that Meadow’s Lycan showed up?” Alpha Lincoln asks and Hayden just nods his head. “Rufus marked Stella the evening we arrived and that means that Rebel would have forced a shift.”
“You might like to know that Meadow is going to become Makay’s nightmare.” He says and that is when I remember she went to the Elders.
“When did she leave the territory?” Alpha Lincoln asks.
“The morning you took out Alpha Hank, we knew that she would be leaving after Stella lied about Rufus being her Mate. I don’t think it will be wise to bring her back at this time, Rebel will probably kill them both.” Hayden says and I think that Hayden might be right.
“I will not ask her to come back, at least not for now. Hayden is right, Rebel will kill Rufus and Stella if we bring her back too soon. I’ll talk to Elder Morton about visiting her, just to talk to her.” Alpha Lincoln says.
I am about to open the door for Hayden, when I remember his remark from earlier.
“What did you mean with Meadow becoming
Makay’s nightmare?” I ask him.
“She is the team Captain of an all-female team and Makay is assigned to her team.” Hayden says with a smirk on his face and I know I am going to spend some time with Hayden and his friends, just to find out how much trouble Makay is in.
“Myka, tell River I want to see him in my office in the morning. I am going to try and find out what happened with Meadow.” Alpha Lincoln says and after acknowledging his request, I walk out of his office.
I still have a few hours to kill before dinner, so I return to the archive and hopefully find a few more papers on the Beta family.
Makay’s p.o.v.
I still can’t believe that they turned off the hot water or didn’t warn me about the rush on lunch.
“Maybe if you hadn’t stalled, you would have been on time and have had all the information.” Blade growls in my head.
He is repeating the words of that little wannabe Warrior, just to annoy the hell out of me.
She thinks she can get me to change my mind, I will show them that you don’t mess with a Bear. I can’t wait until we get to the real training, because that is when they will find out that a female can’t beat me and I will enjoy humiliating them.
“How is Gold Moon in comparison to Black Valley Pack?” Maryan asks me and for a moment I think about how to answer her question.
“We are raised to value each Pack-member, from our Warriors to our Omegas. Each Pack-
member contributes to Pack life and one will contribute more one day and less on another day. That is how things work in Black Valley Pack, but Gold Moon Pack…..” I let the sentence trail off for a little dramatic effect.
“Gold Moon doesn’t cherish every Pack-member. Rory, Alpha Hank’s Son, said that Pack-members that didn’t pull their weight around the Pack had to fend for themselves, he meant Omegas and Sigmas with that remark.” I say.
Maryan is staring at me, the disbelief is clear in her eyes to see. I have witnessed how Omegas and Sigmas are treated here in Renegade territory, so I understand her disbelief.
“Do they cook and clean themselves?” One of the other team members asks and I laugh at the idea of Rory or one of the others cooking or cleaning, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
“Want to see a Pack-house burn to the ground?” Maryan asks her and then we all start laughing.
Maryan takes me for a tour of the territory and in the meantime she tells me about the rules around here.
Breakfast at 07:30, lunch at 13:00 and you better not be late or there will be nothing left. Squad members that are still studying have their classes in the morning, the others train in the morning with their own team and in the afternoon everyone trains together.
Our team is the exception to the rule, Meadow gets to determine her own schedule and I am surprised to find out that they switch their training hours between the afternoon and the evening.
“An enemy doesn’t only strike during the day and Meadow believes that we will benefit from training in the dark. Other teams say that Meadow is nuts for running in the dark or for sparring in the dark, but I would say that I feel more confident now if I have to run in unfamiliar territory.” Maryan explains.
She is right, in unfamiliar territory you don’t run at high speed. Maybe there is something to say for this training method, but only our Elite Warriors train in the evenings and I believe that goes for almost every Pack.
