November 12

Jonas, Cassie, and Jenny met after breakfast to discuss their schedules.

Jonas said, "Luna and I need to return to the pack. Maybe that young girl could have been spared if we had been there when Carl and the other two alphas had returned. I just returned here for this meeting and to talk to Jules about something."

Cassie replied, "I know my school is being run well by Amelia. She was going to take over the school at the end of the year. The council and her know, but we have not officially announced that I am retiring. I will become an elder, and she will become the priestess."

Jenny said, "I am happy for you. However, I am surprised by it. I had been working on a tentative schedule. I also had the small room that was going to be used by Finn and Faye, which was changed into a study hall. I had one of the three-bedroom suites on the top floor turned into a classroom with Jules's permission. With Gideon bringing in more students plus having Stanley, Stuart  Ophelia, and Amelia Brown, I needed more room."

Cassie replied, "I did not realize Ophelia and Amelia hadn't graduated."

"They are seniors. Plus Brian, Edwin, Conner and Conrad; juniors are Finn, Faye, Glen and Sandra; sophomores Patrick, Megan, and Tegan. Finally, Seventh graders are Stuart and Stanley. Today the IT department is setting up the classrooms. They will officially start online classes tomorrow.

Cassie I know Samuel, Maddie, Conley, Sara, Monroe and Zennia are students of yours. Would you like for them to join the online classes here or will you be teaching them

"That will be fine.Conley and Sara are Juniors and the others are all seniors. I would guess the online class is state mandated?"

"Yes. I will arrange extra online set ups for them. Now here is the schedule I came up with...

5:30-7:30 Training with Gideon and Frank
8:00-8:30 Breakfast
9:00-12:00 classrooms
12:00-1:00 lunch and break
1:00-3:00 classroom
3:00-4:00 Gideon will do PE with them in the indoor gym"

Cassie smiles, "while the wolves do their training with Gideon and Frank. I will have the witches meet with Tori and Francis. Those two guides have agreed to teach them some defence and offensive spells.  Can we see if Gideon and Frank will mind the vampires training with them."

Jonas replies, "I will talk to Gideon about that."

"Thank you. Now for the top three classes
5:30-7:30 Training with Gideon and Frank (plus warriors join in)
8:00-8:30 Breakfast.
9:00-10:00 Cassie will lead a class about elemental control practice and she has agreed to teach the history of the supernatural.
10:00-12:00 and 1:00-3:00 the top three will do their online classes. These classes will be recorded if the leaders have to step away. The main disadvantage with recordings will be if they have questions they will have to find the answer themselves. During live classes they can buzz for a question."

Jonas says, "They can write their question down. We do have tudors at the library. Just remind them to call the tudor hotline. They will be asked which class, instructor and what the question is. Then be set up with an assistant to help them. They also will have Gamma Russ here to assist them."

"I will be sure to let them know.  Tanya will be working with Edmund. She too will be popping back and forth during the learning stages. The Elemental training will be set up between guide and element.

"Cassie would you be willing to teach your  same elemental control classes in the afternoon to Jonas and Luna Vicky. I know Jonas said Beta Michelle will be going back and forth along with Edmund and Tanya between Symposium and here?" She looked at Jonas, "that is if you agree to her coming onto your packland."

"Yes, she can come to Symposium Pack but she will need to make the arrangements with Edmund. The times might vary each day based on pack demands."

Cassie replies, "I can do that or we can record that class and they watch it at their convenience."

Jonas replies, "that might even work out better. Since my daily routine changes. Will change more now that I have pups."

Jenny adds, "You will also have to set up rooms for your guides here at at Symposium Pack. That way you can train with them there

"I will set up those rooms on the alpha floor."

"Since you agreed to the schedules with the mild adjustments to accommodate the witches and vampires I will head upstairs to the classroom and wait for IT to show up. Rodney was going to move desks into the area. Amelia and Ophelia agreed they would help me get the room set up. I will email everyone their schedule's."

"Thank you Jenny for all your assistance here. I am going to go meet with Jules. Tell the IT while here to boost up the WiFi to make sure all the cabins get better connections so they can get WiFi for any homework needing done. Check with Frank and Gideon about warrior training schedules.  Will there be Saturday training? You can send them out too.

Cassie adds "I am going to head over to the greenhouse and work on some potions. Maude was going to teach me some forgotten potions. Even old dogs can learn new tricks." She laughs as she walks out.

Jenny gathers her notes and walks out. She sees  Jules and Frank waiting outside in the hall, "hello Alpha Jules and Alpha Frank. Alpha Jonas said he was going to go look for you."

Frank replies, "hello Jenny. As for warrior training. Gideon will do Warrior training 9:00-12:00 Monday-Friday. Saturday no before breakfast training, but we will do training 9:00-12:00 with whole pack. Make sure everyone knows that Saturday and Sunday the omegas are off. They have to arrange their own meals on weekends. 
Make sure the whole pack knows Saturday training is for everyone and not just warriors and elementals. I will arrange pizza delivery for lunch on Saturday.

Jules adds, "in that note can you add a note from me. Tell them Friday will be cabin inspection day. Anyone whose cabin does not pass inspection will spend Saturday after training cleaning  plus will be given 25 hours community service to be done before next inspection time. I stopped by a couple cabins and they are in terrible shape. I will not condone slobs especially in places that do not belong to me. Make sure they know that it is an order from me."

"Will do Alpha Frank and Alpha Jules."

Jules replies, "what did I say about calling me alpha?"

"I am using the same rules we do at Symposium. When Jonas is in alpha mode or in front of students it is Alpha Jonas. You both are talking in alpha mode and not friendship mode."

"I am sorry for using alpha tone."

"Well I got to go. The IT guys are here. See you later Frank and Jules." She goes running down the hall toward the steps.

They walk inside, "hello Jonas we figured we would meet you here. I know we had a few things to review before you head back to the Symposium Pack."

"As Jenny said there were a few things to discuss. Though to cover the inspections I will do the first one with you this Friday after lunch. I know what each place looked like beforehand.  I would guess the warriors who have always had parents do it for them  are the offenders.  Tell me are the offenders Alex, Samson and Tyrone? They got in trouble with that in the past."

"One of them was, but I did not see the other two cabins. Just like it was one of Gideon's warriors and I did not see the others. They had decided they wanted their own single cabins and not sharing cabins. I wondered if it was for that reason. They did not want to get in trouble because of others."

Jonas laughed, "my guys got worse punishments than your giving out. Just tell them this punishment Jenny announce is for a first time offense.

"What punishment did you have for not cleaning?"

"They had to shadow an omega. He or she would show them how to dust the furniture on the smallest item in the room. Then they were left to clean that room. That day they were in charge of dusting everything on my floor. If Vicky or I found any dirt on any furniture we had a shaker filled with sand. We would sprinkle everything in that room. The next day they would once again be shown how to dust the smallest piece of furniture and have to redo that room plus have to do day two cleaning chore. Which was vacuuming. If not done correctly the room not done got dusted with sand. Day three was having to clean the restrooms. Day four was bathrooms. Tyron was furious and tried to take it out on the omega after having to clean his assigned rooms for the fourth day. He accused the omega of sabotaging his work from days one to three and hit him.  When day five arrived he started cleaning and grumbled about sand being back. I came in while he was cleaning and he saw me sabotaging his work. I spent the time showing him what he missed before I sprinkled the sand. I told him next time he accused and smacked an omega he would get worse. I then knocked him out."

Frank laughed, "that sounds like my kind of punishment."

Jules replied, "I am not sure I could hit someone for rule breaking."

" As an alpha you have to learn to dish out punishment. When Tyron came too he had a note I left for him. He was to properly clean the whole Alpha floor by himself  and was bumped down to omega until he got it cleaned properly. That took him three days to finally get it spotless.  When he came back to training he had been bumped down to year one warrior training and had to work his way back up. After that I never had a problem with him. I even saw him volunteering to help the omegas who struggled on pack training day. He learned how hard working omegas were."

"If you mean Warrior Tyron who is over here it was not him. Though he was the one who asked to be given his own cabin and not share. I saw him the other day helping Rodney build some shelves and drying racks for the greenhouses."

Jonas smirked, "He learned his lesson. I am glad he still helps the omegas. I will write down some offences that I have had to deal with. You two can add what discipline you would dish out. We will discuss why and I will share what they actually got."

He then leaned over and turned on a computer. "Now let us get down to business. With the pups and elementals powers you two missed the classes on budget. What I did was place RV information in a business program called quicken. What you both will do is manage the budget for  this pack. 

Frank moaned.

"I am selling you one of my apartment complexes in the human world at break even cost. I am not even going to charge you interest. You will have to work together to figure out a budget for this place and for those that business. I have done month one for you that shows how much you took in and how much you spent for repairs, employees, taxes, but I did not balance the month of October or November. Then for the pack I have placed all of your expenses. I have added what I gave to the camp for repairs.  You will have to figure out how much goes back into the business and how much transfers as profit into the pack."

Frank looked at Jonas, "other than taking accounting 101 in highschool I have not done this. My uncle refused to let me do anything like this. He kept sending me out to do training I think just to keep me away and trying to steal my rightful spot. Though I can balance my checkbook."

"At Striker our alpha hated doing the books. I took several seminars and I did the books since I became the gamma's mate a year ago. I input all his receipts and bills he gave me. I made a mistake once that Alpha Jon caught and was chained like a dog outside for a week. When Tonya found out why I got the punishment she always checked my work. She would show me what I did incorrectly. She was great with that kind of work.  Will it be ok for us to request that she help us."

"That is part of what Edmund does for me. This will be included in her training. She can check and share anything you did wrong but cannot do it for you."

"Yes, Alpha Jonas," Jules said. She then laughed, "now Jenny got me calling you alpha instead of Jonas. What else do you wish to discuss."

Jonas looked at Frank, "I have had my instructors asking about learning your methods. They were fascinated about how you and your siblings did certain techniques."

Frank pointed to the schedule in front of Jonas, "May I see that." Jonas picked it up and handed it to him. He looked at it.

"Send a group here on Sunday. They can join our training sessions from 5:30am-7:30am (M-F): 9:00-12:00 /100-300  training with Gideon. Then they go will run the PE class instead of Gideon from 3:00-4:00. Gideon was who trained me.  I will lead Saturday morning pack training. They depart on Saturday after the pizza. They can practice if they wish in the evening. Sometimes I have seen the pups practicing as long as it doesn't interfere with their homework. I let them do it until 9:00. Jules has announced they have to be back at cabins by 9:30 and lights out at 10:00pm.

"I will have Edmund arrange this. We have a couple bunk houses with eight beds plus a private room. I will arrange to send eight instructors over. The first two weeks will be all males and the third week will be all females.  I have a mated omega couple that has expressed interest in coming here since he is Rodney's nephew."

"Are we soon going to have Rodney's brother here to?"

"No, Sean and Beatrice Brown are close to Rodney. Rodney and his brother do not get along. His brother is great at his job as head omega in one of the dorms. He feels Rodney as a maintenance and Gardner brings shame to the family."

Jules says, "but Rodney loves the outdoors and is talented with his hands."

"You are correct. His nephew isn't happy working in the dorm. His father is forcing him to follow in his footsteps. I figure if you agree that I transfer him to RV. During the week he can help Rodney.  His mate can run the instructor cabin. He can help his mate Saturday afternoon prepare for Sunday's groups of instructors. He is able to please his father and himself."

"Tell them they can move in anytime, but they must have the rooms prepared since we will have class for the instructors which will begin the Monday after Thanksgiving."

"We can arrange that."

"Frank wanted to show you the gym and talk about some gear and improvements he feels should be done for both warrior training and for use in PE. Plus Rodney wanted to show you some cabins that need new roofs.  They both have gotten estimates for each.  They can go over that with you. Now I have to wrap up this meeting. I am supposed to meet up with Peter. He wants me to practice my healing without overusing my power."

"I will link Rodney to meet us outside and will give Frank my recommendations on both items."

"Tell Rodney to check the warehouse with flowers painted on it. There are a bunch of building materials inside it."

"A warehouse with flowers on it? I wasn't aware there was such a building."

"It is at the edge of the campground. Sara uncovered it when practicing her magic. Maude taught her a spell. When she used it, that building became visible. That building is filled with tons of supplies. It had invoices that were marked pain in full and came from Justin's warehouse."

"Who is Justin?"

"Remember when we told you about rejected mates that came together and formed a community in Hidden Valley? They built a very successful warehouse company?"

"Yes, that was Tanya or Maureen's brother?"

"Justin is Maureen's brother and his second chance mate was Tanya's sister. Serena. I did call Justin and asked him about this warehouse. He looked it up and said he still gets orders sent to that address. The invoice is always paid in full the next day. Aeon admitted he has Maude in a time loop. She cashes in her investment and then pays for deliveries on items she said she knew elementals would need."

"She knew elementals were coming and never said anything?"

Maude all the sudden appeared by them, "Alpha Jonas, your father gave me a chance when most had scorned me for being a hybrid. My original pack did not accept my mother as my father's mate. My father was the strongest warrior. The alpha encouraged him to take his daughter as a chosen  mate.  He rejected my mom. She moved off the packland. She later discovered she was pregnant with me. When I was five she passed away. Dad brought me back to the packland.  Dad would not let anyone in the pack physically abuse me, but I was ignored by them. I was forbidden to practice magic."

"That must of been torture for you."

"One of my aunts, mom's older sister felt bad for me. She taught me the invisibility spell. She built a small cabin and greenhouse for me on the Lackland. She placed many spell books in there.  I would hide in there for hours practicing my spells. When you're ignored you are not noticed when missing. When I turned sixteen I did get my wolf. My wolf had powers, but dad had her bound her.  He did not want anyone to know about my powers. I could not shift. My brother and sisters grew up thinking I had no wolf. When they got their wolves they started teasing me about not being able to shift. One day my mate showed up. He was upset I could not shift. He did not believe me when I said my wolf was bound. The alpha encouraged him to take one of my sisters as a chosen mate.  Anthony Eklem rejected me and I moved west."

"Did you say, Anthony Eklem? As in Tony Eklem from Striker Pack?"

"Yes, your alpha could have been my son."

"Wow, just wow."

"I took off and went west when I was rejected. My aunt who helped me with the invisibility spell invented the potion Vitawere. She followed me with two books she found that foretold of the elementals.

I later found out that my mom's middle sister was the one who  used dark magic to bind my wolf. She was disowned by her coven because black magic was banned. She founded her own coven, but only encouraged dark magic.

One of the good coven members contacted my aunt. She found a hidden compartment that discussed a dark spell binding a wolf.  She took snapshots and emailed them to her. My aunt and I traveled for a couple years before I met the coven Cassandra is part of. The coven helped me break the spell.  I was able to shift, but I struggled with control.

By then I had my house and small greenhouse set up here. Jonas' dad  was looking for a place to set up a campground. He figured I was a hybrid, and he helped me learn to control my wolf. We started building this campground. I agreed to keep the pack in healing potions and punishment potions.

Once I had my wolf under control my aunt traveled back to visit her coven. She missed the family and friends she had there. When she got ready to return she was killed by dark magic.  The two sisters had gotten into a magical battle.

I was angry and did a seance requesting my aunt, but she had already moved on to the garden. Instead of my aunt I got Aeon. We ended up getting a time travel loop going. I would jump ahead and see what was going on and then hop back. That is when I had the warehouses made with invisibility. I got everything that the loop said would be needed. I made a profit from things I was shown and then ordered items I was shown would be needed by the elementals.

If you go into the warehouse in the office there is a computer with a list of supplies and a computer that shows profit. You will see it is all written under Ragic Vatic. The computer is magically enhanced and it does it automatically. Your pack will never be short of funds. It will automatically add any business like the apartment complex that Alpha Jonas gave you."

Jules, Frank and Jonas just stared at her in disbelief. "I can say a fight is coming. When it arrives you must be prepared. Like in all wars I know some will live and others will die. I just haven't been able to see who lives and who dies. I have a plan that can help the elementals master their gifts quicker."

Jules replies, "I say let us call all the elementals and their guides together and here your plan. It began at Striker Pack and now will end at Striker Pack."
