45 Bella She found herself a month later in the Alphas office , staring at an angry looking Whitney , who was glaring at another boy across the room , standing with his father .
Whit it had been reported to her by Mala , had punched that boy over there .
He was older than Whit , and it was reported that the boy had bullied one of his sisters ; about being an orphan .
Not something that had ever happened here inside the pack before .
She looked at the boy , Ace , knew he had come here with his father , when hed mated into the pack , to one of their own she wolves .
He was new here himself , had only been here since just after the last full moon .
Had returned to his pack to collect his son and come here to live .
They came for a rough and tumble pack , and hed , from what she understood , wanted a better life for himself and his boy .
The father was a mechanic named Winslow ; he was looking at her now , he looked more than annoyed about the injury to his son .
She raised an eyebrow at him .
Not really had the pleasure of meeting him officially , but knew of him because hed had to go home and collect his family to move here .
That news always got around the pack quickly was thought to be a good thing .
She watched him smell her and registered she was alpha blooded herself .
Blinked a little in shock , likely thought Whit was one of the orphans as well , was only now realising he was not , and she was his actual mother .
Her eyes moved back to her son .
Whit ? she questioned him .
Whit pointed to that boy , who was 12 shoved Alexi , and she fell down , then he called her a wimpy cry baby .
She could hear the anger in his words still .
Calm yourself , she told him .
Youre pure blooded and are stronger than others .
She reminded him .
Please , calm down .
Her eyes , however , moved to the other boy now .
He had a busted lip and a solid looking bruise to the corner of his mouth , he didnt look too badly injured , but violence wasnt something she approved of .
Whit had also always been calm and collected , just like she was .
Wheres Alexi ? she asked , seeing that she wasnt in the room and had not been taken to her in the hospital for medical treatment .
Still in school , she is alright , physically .
Aston told her .
Winslow ? she questioned the boys father .
Did he apologise ? 1/4 +8 Points 45 Not yet .
Winslow answered her Where we came from , Orphans .
he sighed Dont get treated so nicely .
Its actually why I moved us here , instead of asking Gail to come to our pack .
So that Ace here , can learn to be better towards others around him .
He is still adjusting to the way of life here .
Her eyes moved to the boy ; he looked just as mad as Whit did .
Whit , please apologize .
Why ? he shot right back He started it , picked on a girl even .
I understand that .
Aston will sort that out .
Please apologise for punching Ace .
She watched as his jaw set and shivered a little as she saw Parkers temper right there in her own son .
She might be the one raising Whit , but he still had Parkers bloodline , and she could see it in the way his jaw was ticking .
She also knew that Whit wasnt going to apologise , he didnt think hed done anything wrong .
Had defended his orphan sister .
Whit also knew he was not only Alpha blooded but pure Alpha blooded , and technically the top of the food chain , so didnt feel as though he had to in all likelihood .
She sighed and hunkered down to look right at him .
Alphas have to apologise too , know when to say they are sorry , when they themselves have crossed the line .
Violence is not the answer , Whitney , you know this .
She admonished him gently but firmly .

Whitney , thats a girls name .
Came a snort of laughter from Ace .
Bella snapped her hands on to her own boy , to stop him from racing over there and punching that boy again .
She had seen a flash of real anger in his eyes at those words .
Enough Ace .
She heard Winslow state in an angry tone Youre out of line .
Aston sighed himself and stood up .
I think both boys need a lesson here .
Whit , you will work in the packs kitchen , breakfast shift .
5am to 10am .
He told him Violence is not the answer .
She watched Aston turn and look at Ace .
You Ace , will work in the packs laundry .
Morning shift 5am to 10am .
Both get five hours of chores .
An equal punishment .
Thats for omegas only .
Ace gasped out Im warrior ranked .
Whatever .
Whit muttered about his punishment .
Technically , youre a boy of no rank , Ace , until you get your wolf .
Your bloodline is warrior rank .
But everyone here is a warrior , even the omega bloodlines , they all train and are warrior class .
As for jobs for Omegas .
Here everyone pitches in , I believe the head of my laundry is actually an Elite Warrior ranked bloodline , and its a man , he finds ironing and folding the 2/4 3 Pem 45 clothes therapeutic .
Aston looked right at Winslow and then to her Ill put this down to boys being boys .
But I wont be standing for it again .
I wont stand for abuse of any kind within this pack .
Everyone here is of equal standing .
I expect Ace to apologise to Alexi and also now to Whit for that not so nice comment about his name .
Whit I expect you to apologise to Ace for hitting him .
Now boys .
Aston stated all Alpha in those last two words .
Im sorry .
Whit stated .
Im sorry .
Ace muttered .
Good , now Im expecting to hear from Barnaby and Lolita , that youve turned up for your punishment on time , tomorrow 5am both of you .
Aston told them .
Winslow , take Ace back to school and have him apologise to Alexi .
The Luna is with her now , and just so you know .
She watched his eyes glaze over and Winslows as well .
She understood that he was probably letting him know just where Alexi had come from and why it was likely Whit had come to her defence so vehemently .
She saw that man frown deeply and then looked at her and just sighed , nodded and stated Understood .
She left that office with Whit , Winslow and Ace and sighed to herself .
Winslow looked at her , Im sorry for the trouble , Bella .
He murmured I hope it doesnt affect Alexi too badly .
She just nodded and hoped the same, that it wasnt going to bring up all the girls memories of where she had come from .
She understood kids fought and could be unruly at times .
That it was hard to break old habits , Ace was still adjusting here , Perhaps Ace could speak to Cody .
Whos Cody ? he asked .
Pack therapist .
Shes good with the children , with all of us even .
I dont know if thats necessary , he muttered .
You do realise that like 60 % of the wolves here see her right .
All have terrible history and need to talk .
Im not saying anything is wrong with your son , just find out why he thinks its okay to pick on little girls and shove them about .
Stop that behaviour is all Im saying .
Your boy needs therapy , he muttered .
My boy defended a pack member from being attacked by another pack member.
That is actually what we all do here , protect each other .
She stated simply .
3/4 +8 Point 45 They walked in silence after that , and Whit stood there and watched on as Ace had to stand before Alexi and Mala and apologise to the girl .
His muttered words didnt impress Mala , and she told him flatly I dont believe youre actually sorry .
Mala looked down at that boy and then made him look up at her .
I will not tolerate bullies , even children .
This behaviour , if it happens again , could see you get your family banished from my pack , pull your head in .
I copped a lot of abuse where I came from , physical and emotional .
I wont stand for it , young man … Now apologise and mean it .
Or Ill punish your father for raising you wrong .
It was that side of Mala that no one wanted to see .
She was generally happy , but inside of her was a full warrior Luna that took no crap .
She watched Ace stare up at his new Luna and then look to his dad .
He actually looked upset and afraid , he thought that his behaviour might see them turned from the pack .
He turned to Alexi and stated , Im sorry Alexi , it wont happen again , I was wrong .
Good , Mala nodded Now off to class all of you .
