Nathan’s p.o.V.
I slowly start opening drawer after drawer and half way through the cabinet I find a drawer that is empty, the next few I open are empty as well. Looks like there are two and a half cabinets filled with files and I wonder if this Pack was the worst. I walk to the other side of the room to look for a cabinet that belongs to Autumn Pack, but after checking every cabinet I come to the conclusion that there isn’t a cabinet for Autumn Pack in here.
Damn, how am I going to get all those files to Alayah’s office? “Bryson, I am going to need some help getting these files to Alayah.” I say through the mind–link and a few moments later I hear him answer, “On my way, Nathan.” It takes a few minutes before I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs and Bryson walks in followed by Dad and Uncle Paul, “It will take us a few trips to get it to the Alpha office.” I say as I point out which cabinets hold the files.
Dad groans as I start opening the drawers of the cabinets, but Bryson seems to have a solution for bringing more files with us in one trip. He hands each of us a crate and opens a drawer as far as it goes and then he pulls out the rails that hold the files, than he puts them in a crate. After filling eight crates we each take two crates and walk back up the stairs to deliver the files to Alayah’s office.
We keep going back to the Archive until we have collected all the files and as I put down the last crate Alayah walks into her office, “Fuck, did you empty out the entire Archive?” She asks when she sees all the crates in her office, but before I can answer her my Brothers walk in and they mumble in unison, “Fuck.”
I grab a crate to go through and I pull Alayah with me to the couch, “This is just the files on Crimson Moon Pack, but we don’t have to worry about Autumn Pack. There isn’t a single file on them in the Archive.” I say as I grab the first file and start reading it’s contents. It is a file from when Alpha Randell’s Grandfather was the Alpha and he forced an Omega to deny the connection to her Mate, who happened to be the future Gamma.
He banned her from the Pack after she denied the connection and just as I wonder how her Mate felt about it I turn the page, he found out that she was given an Alpha order to deny the connection. He followed her to Blood Stone Pack and pleaded his case with Grandpa, he had already severed his bond with Crimson Moon Pack and wanted the chance to built a true Mate–bond with her.
“Place each file in the crate that is labeled with the crime, I want to know how many times they broke the same Law.” Alayah says and I place my file in the crate for High–Low ranking. We keep going for a few more hours and when Mara calls us for lunch we aren’t even halfway through the files, even though there are seven of us reading through them.
Just as we are about to walk out of the office Bastian walks in, “Alpha, I have confirmed that our Pack- members are gaining strength. I want to test them at least once every week for the time being, I am curious to see where this will take us.” He says and Alayah slumps back in her seat. I hadn’t had time to tell her what I asked Bastian to do and to say that Alayah was shocked is an understatement.
Alayah’s p.o.v.
I didn’t believe the Pack–members that told us they had felt an increase in their strength, but Bastian just confirmed that they were telling the truth.
“They need that strength to keep all those Alphas in check, it makes sense that with their true Alpha they would gain the strength they lost when your Great Grandfather died.” Topaz says and I hate to admit it but she is probably right.

the crates in my office I hide my face in his neck. If this is an indication for what awaits us I might regret this somewhere down the line, but then again I hate injustice just a little bit more and I know that I will go through every file to serve that justice.
We have just returned to my office after lunch and I have barely started reading through the file in my hand when Dad walks in, “Alayah, we have an issue with Marc and Crystal.” He says before he hands me his phone and I start reading the message he got from Alpha Gordon.
“Topaz and I were right, Marc poisoned Crystal from the moment they met. She went home after we left to pack her belongings and somehow Marc was unaware of that, she became ill during her stay at home. Doc figured out that she was poisoned and she confronted Marc, breaking whatever there was between them.” I say and I see Anton looking at me.
I look around the room before I look back at the file in my hand, “I want these files read and divided as soon as possible, I want to send out a message to the rest of the Packs. Blood Stone Pack is back and we will deal with everyone that breaks the Law, one way or the other.” I say before I start reading again.
I lean my head back as I close my eyes, I know that we are no were near done and I want to know exactly what Crimson Moon Pack is guilty of. But damn it, this is taking to much time and that isn’t the only problem I have. I hate reading everything that was ever done to another Wolf or Lycan, whether is was a small crime or a big crime.
What I hate the most is the stories that don’t have a happy ending, were the Alpha’s distorted view on the Mate–bond won. In some of the cases I read it involves two people that had known each other for years and both felt the same way about certain issues, but when push came to shove one of them chose the side of the Alpha.
We had dinner in the main dining room, because I needed something to take my mind of the files and I am glad I chose to go to the main dining room.
“Alpha, I would like to volunteer to start training the Pups.” Uncle Josh’s Gamma says and the entire dining room goes silent. All of them are waiting for my responds and I look at Bastian to see how he feels about that request, all I get from him is a small nod of the head.
“I don’t think that is necessary, Pups and females will head to the bunkers if anyone decides to attack us. I for one aren’t going to train.” One of the females, that is on the list of moving to another Pack, says.
