“We need to work out some things, since you lot are my best enforcers, and Arden and Tristan are in away teams for the next couple of months. I asked you to come today as I’ll need help to put the new recruits down a peg or two. Show them the supernatural strength they’re going to be working with. I’ve also been given the go ahead to expand outward. I’ve spoken to several of the world’s alphas and they’ve spoken to their head human military. They’ve all decided that they need to take part and will be sending representatives from a couple of packs to see how we’re working out.”
He ran his fingers through his hair as he looked at all the wolves before him.
“America and England have only agreed to have one human military base, so we’ll be getting extra recruits from England and America’s packs, so we need to get ourselves ready. A lot have been given the choice to move and join our pack permanently. I’m in total agreement with this as it should make us stronger, although it will also make things harder as we’ll have more work and many more recruits.”
Rane looked around at his fellow werewolf friends. He knew what they were all thinking about. It was the same thing that clouded his mind at present. The enormity of what he had just told them and what it would mean for them.
Chapter 6
Getting ready for the dinner party and the big concert, Kirby smiled, because as usual all the women were running late. They had lost track of time this afternoon as they enjoyed the sun and sea at the beach, and they were now all nicely tanned, or burnt in her case. They were all in Faith’s huge bathroom getting ready when she asked Faith for the second time, “Are you sure you don’t mind Rane coming to take me? I feel so bad. I came to spend the weekend with you.”
Faith laughed. “I’m fine. I’ll have Remy, my brother, and Kane. After what I said this morning, my husband…” She glanced at Remy who raised her eyebrow. “…mate, is going to watch me like a hawk. You and Sara are meeting us there, and we’ll all be sitting at the same table together. At the concert we’ll definitely be together. Sorry, Remy, but I’m going to sneak back early and have some hot se—”
Sara’s hands raised in surrender. “Okay, okay, we get it. We’re to go out with these men and not feel guilty.”
Faith laughed again and seemed to go into a trance for a minute or two, then looked at Sara. “Please, don’t choose the red, because it’s not my color, and think of poor Kirby, redheads and red do not go together. Oh, and say no to your dad, you are not waiting that long. I’m not going to be your bridesmaid six months pregnant. With a werewolf baby, that would mean I would be almost ready to pop.”
All three women stared at Faith.
She stared back at them, raising her eyebrow. “What? I really don’t like that red you have picked out.”
Kirby giggled. “I hope I don’t sound weird saying this, but Faith, I love you. You make me feel normal. It’s so nice to have friends that are just as crazy as me.” Kirby hugged Faith, Sara, and Remy.
Sara grinned. “Okay, I get it. No red bridesmaid dresses.”
They were interrupted by Jamie. “If you guys just kiss, it would be just like my—”
Kirby, Remy, Sara, and Faith each picked up something and threw it at Jamie. He dodged everything, chuckling. “What?”
Faith laughed. “Jamie, you’re a dick. Tell them we’ll be out in five minutes and to never send you in again, or to allow you to volunteer.”
“Argh, come on, Faith. Lately you’re always taking the fun out of everything.”
They all threw more stuff at Jamie and he grinned, dodging them, then waved and walked away.
The laughter stopped as Faith turned to Sara and Kirby with a grin on her face. “I’ll be sleeping in to really late tomorrow. Remy already volunteered to take Bengie bowling. I’ll be sleeping in so late that you probably won’t see me tomorrow. Maybe Monday morning before you leave for work I’ll say bye.”
Remy groaned. “This is so too much information.”
Kirby bit her lip to stop from laughing.
“How come I get stuck going bowling, while you guys get to fuck those hot, hard-bodied men?” Remy asked.
Kirby stared at Remy, and Sara laughed; obviously comments like that were common from Remy. Walking out to the lounge room, they found Tray, Kane, Rane, and Bengie all dressed up and waiting for the four of them.

Kirby arrived with Rane at a huge field area that was covered with tables galore, where groups of werewolves were sitting, relaxing and talking. She felt roughly a hundred wolves. They were easy to spot as all of them were freakishly tall and muscular. She would swear the smallest one was six-one and he was probably a teenager. You could even tell who the female werewolves were because they were stunning.
