Battle of Fate 104 (1)

Game of Destiny 

Chapter 104-1 

We had been in the car for hours. We were heading for a meeting with the Winter Peak pack. As both Finlay and I knew they were good wolves. We had agreed to arrange a social gathering with them Each pack would bring around twenty wolves. There would be BBQ and time for the packs to get to know each other while we and their top tier discussed a formal alliance. We had made sure as like these were rare and far between. It seemed to make the most sense to take full advantage of it. Sam had objected when he was told to stay on pack land. It was sweet how seriously he took being my bodyguard. But we had persuaded him Ramses was almost as good. Finlay had even let Ramses drive, as long as we didn’t take Beula. 1 suspected it had a lot to do with the act it allowed him to sit in the backseat with me. 

many as possible of the pack members we brought along were unmated. Occasion 

“Any strategy when we get there?” Ramses asked. 

“No. They are a friendly pack. Just relax and try to have some fun,” said. 

“And keep an eye on your Luna,” Finlay added. I rolled my eyes, secretly enjoying his stubborn protectiveness. LouAnn, who was sitting next to Ramses, giggled. The pack didn’t seem to mind when Finlay and I got overly sweet with each other. Which was lucky. 

“Yeah, I have got that memo. Sam may have told me a couple of times, or a hundred,” Ramses said, pretending to sigh heavily. We all laughed. 

When we arrived at our destination, a smaller campsite we had booked for two days, the Winter Peak pack had already arrived and was setting up their tents. It felt amazing to get out of the car and stretch. Alpha Jonas and his Beta, Remy, came walking. 

“Nice to see you again, Alpha Finlay, Luna Amie. And congratulations on your mating,” the Alpha said and shook out hands. 

“Thank you, and thank you for agreeing to this meeting so soon after the Game,” I said. 

“Oh it’s good for the pack to have an opportunity to mingle with others,” Beta Remy said. I nodded. 

“We tried to bring as many unmated members as we could. One can only hope,” Finlay told them. They both smiled. 

“Let’s hope the goddess smiles upon us,” their Alpha agreed. We started getting our tents ready. There was a traditional way of placing them when meeting with other packs. A round opening was left in the middle with room for a fire pit and the tents were arranged around it, ours on one half and theirs on the other half. Both packs helped with digging and lining the firepit and got it started. I smiled as I saw the excitement on everyone’s faces and food started to appear. Some were pre–made, some needed to be cooked over the fire. Finlay guided me to sit on one of the logs by the fire with him next to me. Alpha Jonas and Luna Beatrice joined us. The Alpha introduced us to his mate. She was just as nice as he was and soon she and I were talking like we had know each other for years. 

“Our youngest daughter Kayla was so happy she was allowed to come this time,” the Luna told me. “She was desperate to go with the pack to the Game, but we didn’t think it was a good place for her” 

“I can understand that, even for the supporting members it can be trying. How old is she?” I asked. 

“Twenty. I’m happy we put our foot down, but I’m also happy she gets to come to events like these. It’s good for her to meet other packs and learn to accept different customs. And it doesn’t look like she will find her mate in our pack,” Luna Beatrice said. 

“Then this is a good opportunity for her.” 

“It is, but it’s a little scary for a mother. I have been spoiled as her older sister’s mate was a member of our pack and I got to keep her close. My son’s mate is from another pack, but since he is the Alpha heir, they settled down in our pack. But with Kayla, I don’t know. That girl is adventurous.” I smiled at the worried mother. 

“I get it. At least it’s easy to keep in touch these days. My parents live across the country, but we FaceTime as often as we can. It’s not the same as seeing them in person, but it helps us keep in touch I told her. She nodded.
