Reluctant Luna

Breach

Gage

I opened the door to my room and noticed that scent was stronger than normal. I rushed to the teddy bear's hiding place to make sure it wasn't found and dragged over the room.
"Gage?!" Sandra whisper shouted. Caleb must be asleep. I glanced at the crib and saw him passed out. I dug threw the drawer and felt the teddy bear. I pulled it out and inhaled. "What. Are. You. Doing?"
I looked at Sandra, she had an eye up.
"I really like this smell." I shrugged.
"Funny you should say that."
"Because?"
"That's Calla's teddy bear. She gave it to Caleb as a sweet gesture. She thought you threw it away and left the room upset."
"She was here?" I asked. No wonder the room smelled amazing."
"Yes, she was dropping off towels." Sandra looked at the stuffed animal, then at me. "You like her scent? That's weird."
"What is?" I asked.
"She's human."
"And." I motioned for her to continue.
"It's just you are acting like your- never mind" Sandra shook her head.
"What?!" I dragged her out of my room so I don't wake Caleb.
"Nothing... er... are you going to let her stay?"
"Yeah, she is the adoptive daughter of the Beta."
"That's odd."
"I know. What's even more odd is that, she was given to them from the elders." I shook my head. "I was never informed about it when speaking to them about this pack."
"Maybe they forgot." Sandra defended.
"They never forget. Mom and dad could've said something."
"It's not like they had a chance before they died." Sandra scowled.
"No, but I was still in training learning about the packs." I sat on the couch and put my head in my hands. I look up. "Where are you going?" Sandra was by the door.
"Well,  it's an almost super time. And want to go to the hall early to see if there are any prospects." She left me alone with Caleb. I guess need to get him up, changed and take him down. I really need to hire a nanny.

The hall where those who live in the pack house are served their meals was a like a dining hall in a large bed and breakfast. It was intimate and comfortable. The crown in there stopped to look at me as I entered. I looked around and Sandra was sitting at a table with a high chair pulled up to it. Beta Marc came up to me with a tense expression. Something was on his mind.
"Alpha." He spoke. I nodded for him to continue. "We decided to call our pack meeting this evening rather than in the morning if that is ok."
I don't like schedule changes. "Is there a reason?"
"We found a breach on the border of our lands. We need to inspect the whole border tomorrow and get the materials to fix the breaches if we do not have them in stock. I need to put 40 of my wolves on this."
"Why so many?" I was a lot for 1 breach.
"The breach was man made on purpose." He sucks in a breath. I suspect hunters.
My eyes widened. How would hunters know about these lands?. I asked through the connection.
I don't know. But if it is, we need as many warriors on it.
"Understandable." I spoke out loud and head to the table to place Caleb in the high chair. I looked at Sandra. "The pack meeting is tonight."
"Ughe. Do I have to attend?" She laughed.
"No. Do you have other plans." I ask as I clip the belt in around Caleb while he slapped the tray.
"Yes. Calla is going to make more cookies, and I'm going to lick the bowl."
