When she entered the room became silent. Brad stood up and introduced Carrie as a new member to the pack to everyone. He explained to her that these are his pack council. After breakfast Char took her around to each person there and reintroduced Carrie to everyone. When they were almost finished she was introduced to her Aunt Kammi, who stared at her for a long time.
Brad called for the council to take their seats. Two guards manned the doors and after Ann, Frank and Dr. Paris entered the guards went outside and secured the doors closed.
As soon as the three new comers were seated Brad started speaking "Today it will be announced to the public Heather died two years ago from Meningitis infection and other causes. Her remains were found in a shallow grave outside of Denver, Colorado. DNA positively confirmed the identity yesterday. There will be a public burial later."
After the commotion died down Brad continued "Over a month ago Dr. Paris, who has joined us today if you have any questions later, had a patient at the hospital he is a resident of in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was very confused female Alpha. She had silver burn marks on her neck and ears. Dr, Paris, can we all call you Clint?" Clint nodded yes. "Clint also joined our pack so we could communicate with him thru the bond and provide medical advice on going.
Clint treated her with Tlevar, which calmed her and made her treatments effective. After his shift at the hospital he contacted his Grover Mountain Pack leader, who contacted us."
That evening we went to see her. She had Char and Kammi's family birth mark and her personal scent was Heathers also. We all agreed she was our daughter." He said and paused.
"Ann and Frank Turner adopted Carrie on June 12, 2003. They have raised her since. The Turners have now joined our pack. We all agreed Carrie will have two sets of parents from now on. For the future Carrie will be treated as an orphaned female Alpha Were who was adopted by a human family.
The agency they adopted Carrie from hasn't contacted them in about three years, but they could still be a threat.
For the last month Carrie has attended and graduated a Female Were boot camp in hiding."
We'll slowly take any questions about this." Brad concluded.
After varied, sometimes humors questions Brad had a young couple take Clint, Ann, Frank, and Carrie on a tour of the huge house. It was split into three very distinct areas -- Family, Pack Leadership, and Political. They explained all the special features of the house in each part.
Then they walked down a slight incline for about a block to the Community Center. Outside the main door were level maps of the different parts of the center. They were all impressed.
Inside there groups of people doing different activates.
After passing what appeared to be a CPR/First Aid training class we heard "Move! Get out of my way!" The instructor ran up, jumped up throwing her arms around Clint and started deep kissing him. They ended up with his back leaning against the wall.
Minutes later she leaned back saying" I've finally found you, Clint, your my MATE and I'm not letting you go!"
Clint moved his hands under her butt pulling her in and kissed her back equally deep. As he did she wrapped her legs around his waist.
Everyone started joking "Jeesh! Turn off your pack links your embarrassing yourselves and us!"
After a couple more minutes Clint lowered his mate to her feet and stood her in front of him. "My Mate! What is your name?" questioned Clint.
She answered" Tabatha Mae Sarbon, Doctor. I hate it. But hopefully I'll have an entire new name that you give me." Clint grinned and said" How about for your first name AMOR and my last name when we marry? Unless we at the clinic and there your my boss, Doctor Sarbon"
She grinned back and said "I can see already I'm in for a good life with you! Why not Yo Amor Paris?"
They both laughed and told everyone "We've got things to workout. We'll see you later, MUCH later!" With that they left. Shortly after they left it came over the pack link that NP (Nurse Practitioner) Brown was taking call and manning the clinic till future notice. Which caused us renewed laughter.
When they finished the tour the Turners went to show Carrie their new home with offices attached in the Chevy 4x4. Frank explained he loved truck and the bench seat allowed Ann to sit by his side again.
As they neared a large two story rock fronted house Frank opened one of the garage doors with a clicker. Carrie was shocked as they showed her around. It had four bedrooms with two on each level of the house.
Frank proudly showed her his new offices with two locals working in its open floor plan basement.
They all went into the den. Ann said "I love this house and as soon our lease to own contract is up we want to buy it. With us selling our old house, offices, and all the other stuff we didn't bring we can afford this house and we can live openly with you safely here.
Eight days after their departure the Paris's returned with their matching mating marks on their necks. They also traveled to Las Vegas and had gotten married. Melody Paris was her married name.
Over the next two weeks Carrie/Sally continued their defense training, entered a remote high school program with additional local classes. They also attended Were and strength training classes
On a Saturday the five of them meet over a BBQ with Brad and Frank competing for the best smoked BBQ brisket. They all sat down in a blended family supper. Everyone was happy with their new lives and time together.
Brad over dessert said "Carrie, next month we need to attend a North American Pack Meeting in Calgary Canada, which is a fancy way of saying MEET, SNIFF, and MAKE CONNECTIONS MEETING." As a new unmated female Alpha you must attend with us, and I tried to get you out of it. I have checked with the Drs. Paris to see if we could hide your natural scent, without silver, during this trip. We researched it and came up a blank on both.
You'll need a crash course in pack meeting educate. Sally will have classes to attend too"
Carrie stated" We thought you all know we are always paired in everything we do."
Brad and Char jumped up shocked. Char said "I, we, knew you were paired during the first hunt. But now you can pair whenever you want?
Carrie said "We are never not paired. We have talked about not being paired when we are (finger exclamation marks) entertaining a prospective mate. (Finger exclamation marks), but not for while yet folks.
All of a sudden both Bard and Char's pack links were buzzing while their phones were out and setting conference calls about a full time Alpha and their inter wolf pairing. Within hours the prime answer was the eighteen years of separation and the reattachment caused this full time pairing. Everyone felt it wouldn't change and would be hazardous to try.
