The Red Wolf's Mate

Chapter 20-Report 2 Garret, Lucille

"Alright Jax, keep me posted on what your investigations yield. Next, Garret. Report", I instruct after rubbing my eyes and taking a deep breath, trying to picture Wyatt as to calm down.

****Garret- Head Warrior****

"Alpha, we are switching our patrol schedules around. I don't like that the truck was able to make it to our main gate. In addition, our training methods are being altered somewhat as well. We are adding a bit more in human training, fighting involving vehicles, and fighting in small spaces in both forms. Fighting in wolf form in an open space is natural and less difficult obviously. We are trying to think outside the box to simulate and train for more difficult scenarios.

"Good, continue with that route and keep me posted. Now, what about Wyatt?", I inquire further.

"He is improving. The nutritional and fitness plan I developed for him seems to be working. He is gaining strength and stamina. The self defense training is coming along well too", he informs me.

"Excellent, glad to hear it. With this attack and threat I want his training increased. Try to make it look like a natural progression in what  he is already doing. I want you to add weapons training to your regimen too." I continue, "Also, make sure there is always a warrior assigned to him. I need to make sure he is safe while he is human."

"Yes, Alpha", Garret replies to me.

****Lucille- Beta Female****

"Now, Lucille," I say to move along.

"Yes, Alpha. As soon as the alarm sounded the women, children, elderly, and non warriors were taken to safe rooms nearest their location. Attendance was immediately taken and quickly entered into the database. We were able to account for and reassure family members to lessen the uncertainty and stress. Everyone stayed in their safe rooms until given the all clear signal", she reported.

"I'm glad to hear that Lucille. Past mistakes have yielded better safety procedures. The system has definitely improved since our last attack so that 's a positive. Live. Learn. Improve.",  I commented.

"Now, everyone report on your progress in three days. Contact me immediately if something comes up before then. Dismissed. Lucille, stay. I have something else to discuss with you", I state. I see Jax eye me then Lucille while slowly walking out of my office. "You'll get your mate back soon Jax, no worries", I tell him. He bows his head when he shuts the door.

Lucille now is sitting on the couch closest to my desk.  She smiles at me and ask, "What's up Maureen? Everything ok? I mean, besides the obvious current pack situation?"

Uugg, I hate talking about this type of stuff. Most females enjoy talking about guys, dates, clothes, etc. I don't! I'd rather train! But, this concerns Wyatt, my mate! I want to actually go on dates with him.

**Among other things-Shelia chuckles

*Oh jeez Shelia

I mean, I'm comfortable with my style so I could care less about talking about my clothes.

**Oh, you need sexy undies girl! He'll like that!- Shelia contributes

*You're not helping!

"Spill it Maureen. It can't be pack related since you asked to speak to just me with a far away look in your eye. Are you arguing with your wolf right now?", she laughs. "You know I'm taken right?", she winks at me.  "My guess is, it's  about Wyatt. What, you need help picking out sexy lingerie?! Oh, this is going to be so much fun!", she exclaims excitedly while clapping her hands with such a big smile on her face. She cracks me up when she gets so ecstatic over such simple things, my goodness. Fancy underwear, who knew??!!

**See, she was thinking it too. Great minds think alike-Sheila eggs on

*Oh, zip it.

**You know you want us to wear something special for our mate to make him drool- she argues and I can practically see her rolling her eyes.

*Yeah, you're right. I just hate looking at it all. There's just so much to pick from-I reply to her.

**Well, it's not like it'll be on us  for long so what does it matter- she chuckles at me

*Hahahaha, true

I continue toward Lucille, "Ok, ok it is about my mate. His eighteenth birthday is in a month. I was going to have a small party yet with the direct attack and threat, Wyatt directly mentioned, I don't think that is a good idea anymore. I want to plan a private celebration, just the two of us. I am not good at doing that sort of thing as you know. Soooooo, please help me plan a special birthday get together for Wyatt", I playfully plead while sticking out my bottom lip and batting my eyes at her. She is the only one I would ever act like this with beside Wyatt.   She lets out a hearty laugh and says, "Well, how can I resist when you act like this?! Alright, lets get down to business!"
