The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 21

15 - Ryker

I get up and run the pack border again, alone this time and I move slowly, making sure my scent permeates the area fully. This part can be monotonous and boring, but I want this tiny pack to be safe at all times. I then hit the training grounds where only twenty were in attendance, but that is about what I suspected with a pack of this size and part of the reason Edward sought me out in the first place.

We begin working. My Beta, Gamma and Delta worked with Edward’s yesterday to put training plans into place. With Edward’s passing we had to make some quick changes to our plans and I am needed here, but I wanted my guys at home for my sister’s arrival with her mate since I couldn’t be there to greet them.

I go through a series of tests that we do with all of our warriors. It is to truly assess what they are capable of. Samuel, Drake, and Jacob are paying close attention and taking notes on how I assess warriors in my pack so they can duplicate the process when I’m not here. We are looking for strength and sheer power, naturally, but we also want to see how they think on their feet and use problem solving. A lot of times when one of my packs is attacked, it’s not a small affair and people can get hurt or be killed if it takes a warrior too long to react.

The assessment takes half of the day, they shouldn’t need this much time, but I want to be thorough. We stop and break for a late breakfast when one of the packhouse Omegas, Jean I think is her name, brings us a basket of food and takes the time to scold me like any mother would do for working these warriors too hard. But, she does it with a wink and a smile and I know she is a keeper. These warriors are under trained for sure, but they all have the potential to be great. I have to be hard on them now so they can excel for the pack in the future.

Danny and I decided with the size of the pack we can only send about three to five at a time to training at our home facility, so they aren’t left defenseless here. Since there are so few of them, I sent Danny back to the pack with instructions to make rooms ready and see where the rest of our trainees are and if we can fit small groups of these warriors into our current training. I make plans to run with these warriors again after I wrap up getting all the business info I need before I leave to meet with my sister. It will take most of the day for her and her mate to get to our pack so I’m going to use my time well here. I can review business paperwork from anywhere.

I make my way into my office where a leggy red-head leans against the desk, lost in a file. I can feel my face pull up in a sneer. I don’t appreciate anyone being in my office, my space, especially before we have been introduced. She is too comfortable here and that needs to change.

“Is there a reason you are not waiting outside my office? Do you have a habit of entering rooms that don’t belong to you?” I growl as I walk in, heading straight for the desk without giving her a second glance. My tone isn’t impolite, but I know it’s not inviting either.
