Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
Those that were still in their rooms in the north wing of the sixth floor all seemed to check out. There were quite a few people who seemed promising in fact. There was a man who would be in charge of training us, his name was Lucas, and he instantly seemed to connect with Shane. Seemed like we could all make new friends here, not that we needed Shane with a new bestie to pull pranks on everyone.
We also met a man named Nicholas, call him Nick he insisted, who seemed to have a strong desire to be a guard. According to Vincent, he checked out, and if he proved himself he would most definitely be allowed to come aboard. I wanted to expand the guard as it was.
Next we met a man named Grant. He seemed like a strong man that would add a lot of strength to the pack if he wanted to come back with us. All of these people checked out so far. That was comforting.
There were a few women who we came across as well. One named Lana looked young and was apparently the nurse or medic of the Sentinelle. She was responsible for helping everyone that came back to the abbey injured. She could learn a lot from Griffin if she were to come back to Colorado.
Then there were two other women who seemed promising so far, Thoma and Izzy. These two seemed as close as sisters but couldn’t look more different. One was tall with dark hair and eyes and a strong looking build, the other was on the short side, but still taller than my Little Bunny and she was platinum blonde with bright hazel eyes.
These two would be great female warriors for my mate. Some more women around to be friends with would help too. It was probably not right of me to be looking through the Sentinelle with hopes of filling out our ranks, but to be honest, wasn’t that what they were meant for?
We met some more good people that seemed like they would be a good fit among us, Perkins, Malik, Hideki, Micah, Christophe, Victor, Celest, Thea, Sebastian, Yuri, all these members were beyond excited to get a chance at serving the King and Queen. If they proved themselves then they would be a great addition to our pack.
This search and interrogation of the members was going great. Everyone seemed to be in this because they believed in the legend of the Goddess Incarnate and truly wanted to offer their lives to the Goddess. I truly had a good feeling about all this. That is until after lunch.
After we ate our lunch we moved to interviewing people outside the abbey. Most of them were just as loyal but perhaps a little less enthusiastic in that loyalty. There was nothing wrong with being a little less hyper about it.
There were promising people among this group too. Hal, John, Joe, Tim, Richard, Ruth, Mary, Seiji. This group of Sentinelle warriors was proving to be quite the boon. There were only two that gave Vincent pause when he met them.
He seemed to have gotten tense when we met two men who were working together near the docks. They didn’t seem to be bad people in attitude and appearance. However, we all knew that this meant nothing, and apparently their words did not match up with the truth of their intentions.
The men, named Charles and Ralph, were repairing the docks and had the most direct contract with people outside the village, aside from the scouts that is. These men often spent a lot of time in neighboring villages and cities.
I don’t know if that helped to contribute to their disloyalty or not, but these two men claimed to be loyal to the Sentinelle and to the Queen. Though the truth of the matter was that they only wanted to stay in the Sentinelle until the Queen was found and they could move on with life in a different era.
When Vincent spoke to these men he got a full picture of what was going on with them. He saw exactly what it was that they wanted in life. These men never wanted to be part of any Goddess Guard. They would never be willing to fight for what was right or protect the Queen.
They didn’t seem to be actively working against her, yet. But given the opportunity they would most definitely betray us all. They cared for no one but themselves. They would turn on a dime, and jump sides at the drop of a hat.
When their loyalties were called into question they, obviously, took offense to it. They claimed that we were just trying to find people to remove from the group and add our own. They tried making claims that we had, most certainly, removed many others and this was just a witch hunt so to speak.
“I’m afraid that you are mistaken.” Ghirald, the steward, informed them. Ghirald had been escorting us around the abbey and village for our investigations.
“This is ridiculous.” Charles, a tall surly looking man with a permanently angry look etched into his face spoke first.
“What reason do you have to call us into question?” Ralph demanded. He was just as tall and surly looking. But where Charles had bright orange hair and eyes, Ralph looked swampy with muddy eyes and murky brown hair.
“Your words don’t match your heart, your soul. The things you say are in direct contrast to what you truly believe.” Vincent stepped forward and answered him in a stern tone. “We will not let you near our Luna if we cannot trust you, and you two are the only ones we’ve come to so far that pose any sort of threat to her.”
“You’re insane.” Charles ground out through his teeth.
“No Charles, he is Goddess touched.” Ghirald said the words reverently.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Charles looked confused and angry.
“He has been granted an ability by the Goddess.” I told him. “And his ability is to know someone’s true intentions.”
“Seems a little useless to me.” Ralph scoffed. “That doesn’t sound like something that the Goddess would give someone.”
“I don’t believe you in the least.” Charles added.
“It doesn’t matter. You’re done here. You will no longer be part of the Sentinelle.” David stepped forward and spoke angrily.
“The group of you think you can boss us around?” Charles was laughing. “Not all of you are even wolves. You’ve got a bloodsucker and a pair of witchy boys.” Charles’ manner of speaking was getting more and more crude as he went on.
“We will not be put out by you.” Ralph backed up his friend. “Only Gabriel can relieve us of our duty.”
“I am your King, and you will listen to me.” I snarled at him.

A group of men that I had never met before came spilling into the room.
“My Queen, please excuse this interruption.” They all knelt as soon as they were inside the room.
“What is it, Perkins? What has happened?” Gabriel asked in my stead, knowing these people more than I did.
“The King has found unworthy men among our ranks. And I am afraid things are about to escalate among them?” The man named Perkins responded.
“Escalate?” I made the one word a question. What could possibly be happening among them to cause this?
