Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

“Vincent, you have no idea how thankful I am for you. You are not just my guard, you were the first friend that I made after coming to this house. You are so kind hearted yet stronger than so many others. There isn’t anything you wouldn’t do to help those you care about and I am honored to be one of them. You, with your boundless determination, deep compassion, and endless heart, you always seem to center us and get to the heart of the matter when we need it most.”

“Dietrich.” I started with those I haven’t known for as long now. “I don’t know you as well as my guards, but you are an important person to me now. As a friend, an honorary pack member, and the mate of someone I hold dear. What I admire most about you is that you seem to know things before anyone else and with that it’s like you can read people’s minds and in turn manipulate them into getting the outcome that you want.”

“Rawlynne, Jackson, I am sorry that I do not know the two of you more. The time that you have been here with us, we’ve not spent as much of it together like I have with me as the others, but I do hold you dear. You know of us and are willing to help us. You accept us. And to top it all off, you’re an information source for us. I don’t mean that is a bad way, but with your connections there is a lot we might not have known about if not for the two of you. You’ve revealed things and enlightened us to a vast amount of hidden information. I sincerely hope that we can continue this friendship, with or without the inside help.”

“Gabriel, I do not know you much at all, but what I have been able to see from you is an immense loyalty. You have a way of bringing people together and gathering information. It’s like you can make almost anyone your ally.”

This was what I wanted to tell them all. These words with my emotions open for them to see. I wanted them all to be strong enough to survive the trip and the battle that would most likely follow. And no matter what other abilities they might get, I wanted them to be stronger and faster like Gabriel said. I would also like them to be able to communicate among themselves and smell the warlocks, for now that was the most important thing for me to worry about.

No sooner had I thought those words then a blinding light filled the room. I understood what it was this time and was not frightened by it. The pulling and tugging on my psyche was not painful, but it was still awkward. It was like I was a rubber band being pulled in a dozen differections at the same time.

Just as I felt like the rubber band had reached its limits and would surely snap and break, the tugging stopped. The light faded, and it was followed by words that were different than last time.

“Welcome to the Goddess Guard, use your new abilities to serve your Queen well.”

When the room was quiet, and everything had settled, eleven awed looks were staring back at me.

“Were we granted special abilities?” Vincent, like always, got straight to the heart of the matter.

“I don’t know. But I do know that you’ve all been made part of the Goddess Guard.”

“How would we know if we were granted an ability?” Shane asked me, excitement on his face.

“Well, you would have a mark like this.” I pulled aside the thin, long sleeved, black cloth cover I was wearing over my tank top, it was like either a very thin and short robe or a jacket without buttons and zippers.

When they saw the crescent moon and paw print they were in awe. I heard several gasps and a few excited exclamations. Jackson was the loudest with his.

“This whole wolf world is fucking cool as hell.”

“Jack!” Rawlynne was at a loss for words after he spoke.

“What? She didn’t have that mark two days ago, did she? That means it appeared there by magic. And she is saying that the guards will have them too.”

“Still, watch your language.”

“It’s fine, Otsana.” Joaquin finally broke his silence. “None of us have virgin ears. And he’s right, this is all fucking cool.” Joaquin smiled at me. “And she didn’t even have that mark yesterday. It appeared sometime in the last several hours.”

“Do you have one?” Jackson asked him excitedly.

“No.” He shook his head. “I would have seen it this morning.”

“You did not have one this morning, my King, but that was a different time.” Gabriel told him as he held the collar of his button up shirt to the side, revealing a mark just like the one I showed, only he had an addition to it.

On top of the moon and paw print, Gabriel had a circle with two capital letter G’s in an elegant and beautiful handwriting. The circle was silver and the G’s were gold.

“That looks different from hers.” Shawn noted.

“Of course, she is the Goddess Incarnate, she cannot be a member of the Goddess Guard. I think we have been marked as accepted into the guard. And the mark that matches the Queen’s means that those who bear it will indeed have an added ability.”

“What kind of ability?” Dietrich said as he looked at his own chest which had the same two marks as Gabriel’s.

“That is probably something we will come to understand over time. Or, perhaps the Queen will be able to see that as well.” Gabriel looked extremely happy to have been marked.

“I only have one of them.” Joaquin complained. “I am not in the guard.”

“You are the King, you bear the protector symbol already. You will be our commander as well as our king.” Gabriel’s words brought a smile to Joaquin’s pouting face.

“Who all has a mark?” I asked them.

After everyone in the room checked they all raised their hands and said, almost in unison. “I do.” I hadn’t expected this. Even Rawlynne and Jackson were marked with both marks. Meaning they have been made members of my guard and given abilities.

“Can you tell what abilities they are?” Joaquin asked me, excited to learn more about the powers he possessed.

“I can try.” I answered him.

I looked around the room, trying to detect their abilities. Joaquin, it seemed, had shields, barriers that would protect him or those he wanted to protect. Noah, my rock I had called him, could manipulate earth. He couldn’t move it too much, but he could reform it and crumble it, perhaps it would grow with him as he came to understand it all. Shane had an electricity manipulation that varied between low and high voltages. Carter, the spy for our pack, could camouflage almost like a chameleon. Jackson and Rawlynne would be able to find hidden information easier. David was now going to be nearly supersonic in his speed. Dietrich, as I said he could almost control people to his outcome, was now able to perform that ability for real. Shawn, the man who affected those near him with his personality, could now truly affect things around his with telekinesis. And lastly, Vincent, he seemed to be able to see the world for what it truly was, enemies would never again be able to hide the truth of their hearts from him.

When they all heard their powers they seemed to be awed, excited, and reverent. Just what did I do?

With the stuff about the abilities over, we discussed what was likely to happen for the mission. And I told Joaquin I was bringing Juniper so that she could help the kids, mentally and emotionally, after they were rescued. He agreed, and said that we should bring Griffin as well. Having a healer on hand was a great idea also.

When I told Juniper why she was coming, Paul and Cedar both insisted on coming along as well. So, now our traveling party was up to sixteen. We would not fail to rescue the kids this time. I would see to it.

Joaquin **

With all the changes that have been going on around me, changes in my wife’s status, in mine, in the whole order of the pack, I knew there were decisions I had to make. There were going to be more people around my pack than there was before. And after hearing what Gabriel had to say about the type of people who joined the Sentinelle it had me thinking about another project I wanted to undertake.

But right now, I had to focus on the situation at hand. I would not let these rogue warlocks get away with what they had done. And now that my pack was stronger than it has ever been before we could expect things to go better.

One thing I noticed when the meeting with what effectively became the Goddess Guard was over is that my sexy little mate smelled differently, again. This time, I knew what I could attribute it to though. I had most likely been given the ability to smell warlocks, like she had intended. And since my mate was half warlock it altered her scent to me.

It didn’t alter her smell too much. In truth, it added a slight lemon scent to her already intoxicating smell. I didn’t know if that smell was distinctive of the warlocks or not, but I would find out soon I guess.

All my mate’s female friends were still staying at the house, and with them all of their mates. Ella was coming to the house today so that she could be protected as well. She was going to be driven here by her mom. Gia was in quite the state with her son missing and her daughter attacked. From what I gathered she was barely holding it together.

Little Bunny suggested having her meet with Juniper while she was here, the emotional calming would do her a wonder of good. So while we waited for Ella to arrive we were in that same sitting room as before. In the room with us were Cedar and Paul, we were just waiting on Juniper to arrive. Both of the men wanted to join us on the mission tomorrow and had even joined the ranks of the pack warriors. They both showed such initiative and skill among them that I wanted to do something for them. Honestly, it had nothing to do with them being friends with my mate. Ok, very little to do with it.

I had a sudden inspiration and decided to run with it.

“Paul, Cedar, I want to talk to you guys about something.” I saw the looks of shock and panic wash over them. Honestly, am I that scary? I know I could be but come on guys, you’ve been around me for a while now.

“What about?” This came from my Little Bunny, like she was going to protect them. She’s always been very protective of her friends and family.

“Nothing bad.” I smiled to soften the mood. “No need to be worried.”

“I’m not worried.” Paul tried to sound convincing when it was clear on his face that he was nervous.

“Look, you’re both great warriors. You’ve done a lot for the pack in such a short amount of time. And I am finally starting to fill out the ranks like I should have done a long time ago. There are a lot of roles I should have assigned and delegated when I took over but I admit I didn’t trust anyone enough to do so.” That seemed to shock them both completely.

“What kind of roles?” Cedar was at least curious by my words. Paul was too I guess, it’s just he still hadn’t recovered enough to speak.

“I’ve added a gamma, though I should have two. And there are other small things that need to be addressed. I’m thinking that the two of you should each take a role.”

“Did you have anything in mind?” Little Bunny asked me, seemingly more curious than those two warriors were.

“I do. I want Paul to be the new trainer for the warriors. He has progressed in training faster than any warrior I have ever seen before. And as for Cedar, he is a go getter and extremely capable. I want him as my second gamma.”
