On Sunday, our friends left after breakfast. Angel and Cara were excited about the garden and wanted to purchase some of the


    fruits and vegetables when they are harvested. It’s another way the pack can make some money and Victoria and Ivy are already


    making ns to expand the garden. They were part of the group that wanted a store on our new ‘main street’, although they


    want theirs to be mostly an open-air market environment.


    Grace, Amber and Noah picked up some eggying hens. They seem to like their new living arrangements. It will take a few


    days for them to adjust, but we’ve assigned some of the older pups to watch out for them, feed them and let them graze ina


    fenced in area every day. We started with 30 hens, we''ll see how many eggs they can produce, but I think that Grace is already


    working on a n for bring in more for the pack. If we produce an excess, we can sell the extras in the market.


    On Monday, Perry shows up with a crew and we get started with the morning shift. We had to divide everyone into shifts so that


    we can continue to manage the pack, run patrols and basically not shut down the operation of the pack. So, Carlos and | spent


    Sunday afternoon revising teams into 6—hour shifts for both construction and pack work. If they choose to work more in


    construction, they can. All of the ranked members are pulling patrol duties. Carlos insisted he be included in the rotation and


    while he can’t shift, he still manages to keep up with the other wolves patrolling and his eye for things that are out of ce and


    his instincts as an Alpha havee in handy more than once.


    In addition, we’re still managing 5 hours of training each day. I’ve assigned Carlos to train the pack members that can’t shift,


    whether they are too young, too old or pregnant. He is working with them on learning to throw knives and shoot arrows. Ever


    since our attack by hunters, we want to be ready and ensure that the pack feels confident in their ability to fight off anyone that


    comes into our territory. Noah and | run the morning training with most of the other pack members and Carlos joins me in the


    afternoon for warrior and tournament training.


    To say it’s a lot and | fall into bed exhausted every day would be an understatement. Some days it’s all | can do to pull my mate


    against me before | fall asleep.


    Over the next two weeks, the pack, with Perry and his crews’ oversight, demolish the rest of the homes that could not be saved.


    Five houses that were in various states of rebuilding arepleted except for things like painting and trims. After


    getting my first paycheck from Liam, | was able to buy several different colors of paint for the houses, letting the pack members


    decide on their own internal and


    external colors. Some pack members chose to buy their own and make their homes feel more personal or eclectic. The general


    attitude of hap“?


    and


    excitement that started with our inaugural ceremonies has continued, even though most of the pack feels as exhausted as | do.

    you name it, Sirona is thinking about it.


    I''m looking over our financials getting ready for our trip back to Canyon Ridge to meet King Ailduin, the Fae King, who is


    chronicling the Guardians lives and has been for a couple of centuries. Yes, centuries. He’s over two hundred years old.


    Liam was right about paying back the loan. He’s waiting to order supplies until we need them, and it allows the pack to repay the


    loan almost immediately. I’m feeling much better about this process, especially since more and more pack members have ideas


    for buildings they want to build.


    On the Friday we are going back to Canyon Ridge, Grace and | are checking to make sure everything is set. We''ll be gone


    through the weekend again. We used the money Grace got from working for Liam to purchase food for the pack. It’s been great


    to finally feed everyone the amount of food that they need, especially when we are working everyone so hard. Our hunters are


    still going out to catch wild game, but we can supplement that with other food now too, making itst longer. Grace’s hens have


    startedying eggs as well, so eggs with breakfast is now a daily urrence. I''ve also noticed that Cammy is using some of the


    fruit that has been harvested and is making jams and jellies.


    Sirona is using her money to supply the pack hospital with medical supplies and Amber has used hers to buy material that Anna


    used to sew her, Hope and Carlo some much needed clothes. Overall, it feels that the pack is really starting toe together.
