Carrie and everyone went to the Alpha's house, Guards and staff had checked the house and all the rooms were prepped to fancy hotel standards. Everyone went to bed with a promise to meet later in the day.
An entire house was raised by the intercom call woke everyone just before 10:30 AM stating a meal would be ready in an hour. Everyone staggered into the smorgasbord with heavily loaded tables which were quickly lightened,
Before going into the Family Room with her guests Carrie called and invited her parents and Brie to come visit in four days.
In the Family, they all sat around visiting and getting to know each other for the first time or better. Carrie saw Jason watching her from across the room until she waved him over.
"Ok fess up Jason AKA Patchouli Man and the Black Warrior. What's going on with you?" she asked.
"Alright. Do want the reader's digest version or one that will answer most if not all of your questions?" he inquired. After a moment's thought, she answered "For some reason, I think you'll be around so give me the long version. Please set on my right downwind. Your scent is overpowering to me."
"No problem, but I'll talk to my little sister about this problem when I see her.
During the 4 years I attended high school I wrestled. We went to state finals 3 out of the 4 years and I won my weight classes twice. I missed once with the measles and once for a pack obligation.
When I graduated I received a scholarship at the college I wanted to attend, but it was for a full academic ride only. They had no sports programs but had an ROTC that was shared with another college 20 miles away, which I joined for one weekend a month plus 3 times a year of extensive training.
I found work with room and board at a local gym. This allowed me to work, study, and exercise with friends.
On one Thursday night, a friend of the owner was complying that one of his wrestlers, who I knew from competing in high school. didn't have a match. I stupidly said, "Just hire an anoxic 14-year-old girl for his match and he might beat her." The manager said, "Do you think you could beat him?" Again stupidly I said, "I have for years when we competed in high school tournaments." "Ok. We'll come here and see if you're bragging or what. When can we do this?" he asked. I answered, "I'm busy with school and ROTC till late Sunday afternoon."
The owner of the gym told us he would be there at 4 Sunday afternoon and he would be in my corner.
During ROTC I talked to my commander, a fellow high-ranking pack member, about possibly wrestling pro. He said to it with provisos. 1. Wear gear so I wouldn't be recognized. 2. Wear hidden silver, so I couldn't change by accident. I agreed.
