White Wolf Hybrid

Alexis’ POV~

Walking downstairs, I grab Helena’s hand and taking her outside “Would you help me ward our borders? I realize it will require a shit ton of rocks we can spell… but I want to include the town, as well. Bad things are coming and we need… I need…our people to be safe! I will not allow any part of my parents’ sacrifice to be in vain! Apparently, my mate and I are responsible for saving our entire species.. so the best way to do that.. in my mind, is to begin with our pack!”

My aunt pulled me into her arms and whispered “You never have to ask for my help! It is always freely given! I am so proud of you! Of the woman you’re becoming. I know your mother is! And it makes my heart happy you have forgiven both your parents.”

I laugh “Truly! There was nothing to forgive them for! Meeting Blake… there is nothing..absolutely nothing, I wouldn’t give up, for just one night in his arms! I am struggling with Hecate.. and Selene. I understand the need for my safety! I resent my dad never knowing about me. It hurts. And now he knows.. I can only imagine his pain! And that’s a shame!”

I went to the shed and pulled out a gardening wagon, so we could get to the river and collect the proper stones we will have to cut runes into. This is going to take all day! I let Blake know where we are going to be, so he doesn’t worry. But I know he is busy with the other Alphas.. arranging for the packs to arrive.

I have had our people erecting our military tents.. forming separate encampments for each pack. Every Alpha needed to be in control of their people..and they need their own space to do that. A bunch of bossy, dominant Alphas in one place is a recipe for disaster! I let our people know to tell me when they’ve completed that, so Helena and I can swing through each camp and arrange power and water.

Reaching the river, I took my shoes off.. grabbing my net.. I started sifting through the rocks. We need only smooth ones..at least two inches in diameter. I prefer white quartz.. some pinks.. while my aunt.. being the ever traditional witch likes black and gray slate or granite. It’s a thing with us. She calls me Glenda… and I call her Wendy.. you know.. Good witch.. Glenda… Wicked witch.. Wendy! Yeah.. weird! She’s the one on Halloween.. pointed hat.. cauldron of candy.. the kids love it!

Three hours. We have been collecting rocks for three hours. It would have been a lot less time.. but my crazy aunt keeps trying to separate the freaking rocks! Because apparently my good colors will taint her dark ones… keeping them from being as strong! It is so obvious she’s only eight years older than me! Tugging on the wagon handle, I realize it’s a lot heavier than I anticipated.. Thinking small rocks equals less weight. But a ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks.

I arranged for Cody to get our stones up to the studio. I pulled my etching and carving tools out to set about carving the runes we needed. Helena decided her task would be carving her dark rocks with a shield rune…and mine will have protection rune. We should be ready to place them tomorrow. Deciding to intersperse every other one so that we can doubly protect the pack.

It was getting dark when Blake walked into my studio “Babe, our first winter storm will be moving in around 4 tomorrow.. You will need to get your ward stones planted early. I have arranged thirty pack members to help you, so it should go pretty quick, yeah?! Also.. Matthew and Damon will be arriving sometime tonight with refugees from Thomas and Albert’s packs. Thomas surrendered, but Albert tried to kamikazi attack Matthew and his men.. sacrificing nearly a dozen of his men! Asshole! So.. he’s dead!”

I asked “How bad is this storm going to be? I mean.. Georgia girl here…our idea of a snow storm is four hours of a few white flakes that barely have time to land before they melt..once or twice a winter.” And they both laughed.. Okay.. didn’t seem that funny.. but okay…

Blake pulls me into his arms, kissing my head “We will have six inches by midnight..possibly four more by daybreak. But this storm is set to last three days. That’s a harsh one for the first of the season.. and I have a feeling it’s going to set the tone for our winter! One good thing, wolves don’t usually attack in the winter. It’s dangerous and having a white wolf makes it even more difficult for them! I doubt they would risk it. Our first packs will start arriving tomorrow. And Caroline is on her way with Ian’s pack. Could one of you possibly check her out?! Ian says she’s complaining of severe back pain and light cramping.”

Eeeeeep! *Poof* Helena laughs “Pups excite her “ “Goddess Damnit LEXI! That’s hot” and I poofed right into Cody with a whole tray of hot chocolate! Fuck! “Is that a favorite hoodie?” Walking back into the studio, Blake and Helena are chuckling.. “Shut Up and fix it! He likes that hoodie!” And I went back to finishing my runes.

Blake pulls me around and hugs me close “You poofing in and out is one of your most endearing qualities and I don’t want it changed for anything or anyone, sweetheart!” And kissed me. Cody grumbles “ Sure.. it’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye! Just sayin “ and then we all laugh.

We kept at it for two more hours.. breaking only long enough to eat a sandwich and some chips, until we were finally completely finished. We spelled 300 stones. Just as I stepped from our room, after a long relaxing shower, Blake linked that Caroline was arriving and would I meet them at the infirmary.

I open the door to a screaming Caroline, “Get them OUT! This shit hurts! You are so lucky you get two in one shot! I sure as fucking hell will Never do this again! I will cut your dick off, Ian! Swear to the Goddess! You will be known as the dickless wonder!” And I bit back my laugh as I watched all the color drain out of their faces.. and Blake shaking his head “Baby… baby.. I want to apologize right fucking now if we ever get pregnant! I am more than happy to let you break every bone in my body… just please.. pleaseeee, leave my dick where it’s at, yeah? That’s okay, right?” And I burst out laughing “Pregnant women are scary, aren’t they!?” He nods profusely!
