We walk to the left of the living room and into one of my favorite places, the kitchen. Just like the kitchen at Blue Crescent, there were multiple gas
cooktops and at least six ovens, four refrigerators that I could see, and 11m sure there’s a pantry probably as big as my bedroom hidden in here somewhere.
“What do you thinkso far, Little One? Do you think you could handle living here?” Alpha Reggie asks, like I might be disappointed in something.
“Are you kidding?! This place is amazing and I’ve only seen the living room and the kitchen! This is actually where you guys train and live?” I can’t help letting my excitement show.
“Our warriors spend a lot of time out on the property doing practical training within the territory or out on missions. So when they do come back to our
compound, we like to make sure that our warriors are very comfortable. They don’t get a lot of downtime but when they do we like to take care of them.” He lets out a little chuckle.
“What else is here?”
“Well my dear, let me show you to your room and then I will let Warrior Osiston give you the rest of the Grand Tour.
“Oh! 11m so sorry Alpha Reggie, I didn’t realize I was interrupting your day. You didn’t have to stay with me so long.” It didn’t even occur to me that he
probably has pack business to attend to, instead of babysitting me.
“No, no, none of that child. I wanted to see your reaction to your new living space. But, as I do not live here, I am not the best one to give you the tour
itself. I did want to talk to you a little bit before you got too deep into your admiration for our Warrior facilities, though.” He smiles a genuine smile at
me, that proud dad look, like he got confirmation he did a good job.
“Okay then, let’s go. I didn’t want to take any more time from his busy schedule than I already had.
We walked to a set Of stairs that is hidden on the far side of the kitchen and headed straight up.
“Just so you know this end of the dorms is for females. The other side is for males. Once you have your Elite Warrior brand it won’t really matter as al
of those male and female hormones will be suppressed, your orientation class will explain how all
of that works. The separation is more for the comfort level of all involved. Before getting here, not everyone is as accustomed to being underdressed
in front of the opposite sex. That is not to say that males will not come to this side or you cannot go to theirs. It is just the best way to organize
everyone.”
I nod my head in understanding. We eventually all get comfortable being in various states of undress the more comfortable we are with shifting. You
just kind of have to be really. I only shied away from it because of my injuries. I didn’t want people asking too many questions. I follow Osiston down
the hallway, Alpha Reggie behind me.
“Each of our Warriors has their own room. We do not force you to share with somebody that you may or may not get along with. Unfortunately, the
warrior brand does not hinder your personality and not everyone will always get along. All of our Warriors are highly competitive and some tend to
take winning and losing very seriously, while others see it more as a game and for fun. You’ll figure out who the hotheads are and who is more laid
back pretty quickly.”
