My eyes looked around the pack and I was about to speak when I saw a familiar face coming towards us. It was Dandeline who was going to join the pack officially today. Channing saw her and spoke loudly so she could hear him, "Dandeline get here fast, take a seat at the front."

Everyone's heads turned to her, and Dandeline did not succumb under their gaze but rather walked confidently to the front before taking a seat beside Elaine, passing her a smile as if they had met before. Dandeline's personality had completely changed, just as expected of her. She was good at disguise, and just calling her good would be an understatement. Dandeline passed me a beaming smile, and I returned it with a polite smile and a nod.

We were supposed to not know each other here. But somehow Dandeline in front of looked like someone who would give orders to her personal servants and less like my palace maid.

"Since we have a new member, we will have the introductions after Selene is done speaking," Channing said, and waved his hand for me to start talking.

I cleared my throat before speaking in a loud enough voice, "I have observed how the growth of the members here is obstructed to only patrolling and training. We will start by involving members in non-confidential paperwork and other jobs in collaboration with the police and prison guards, so the duties will get more complicated and exciting. More than all, I want to establish a different training mode, not just physical but people will train their special abilities in pairs every morning."

I saw Jack send glares, wanting to say something like 'the police force did not need help', but he was keeping quiet about it. After all, he had zero say in these matters.

My eyes turned to Channing to ask for his approval with all this, and he raised his eyebrows. "Those will be some amazing reforms here. I have no objection, Selene. You are free to plan those things and go ahead with them as soon as possible," Channing said honestly, loving the idea.

I smiled, and Channing's approval was encouraging for me. I continued, "very well then, tomorrow morning at eight sharp, we will meet at the gym to make a list of your special abilities and in what ways they can be improved. Apart from that, there will be people assisting in investigations and members making trips to the prison and observe and keep a report of the prisoners." These reforms would be already heavy on them so I did not want to add more.

The members were sceptical, but also excited about it all. They had already tasted what working other than patrolling was like when I was the acting Beta and some of the faces were eager for the next day to start.

The atmosphere was lightening with what I had said. Their duties had increased, but instead of being lethargic about it, they had a welcoming aura.

I took this opportunity to speak further with a plan to aid the increasing the members in the pack. "Also, the members can bring people who are not a part of the pack during the morning training for improving their special abilities. After all, we would train in partners and if anyone wants a partner of preference or friend and family to improve along with us, bring them all."

Somewhere deep down, I wanted to pat my own back for this. It wouldn't be tough when people join the training that was not specifically physical and get to improve themselves with their innate abilities.

That would not just improve people of the pack but also others from the village, as they would get the rare opportunity to use the pack's gym and train with them.

There was no doubt that we will be seeing new entries in the next few weeks, growing the pack of Winterwells. And when common people would see the members working around the village with their work distributed with the police force and the prisons would make more people want to join the pack.

But there was one more thing, and a while back I would have thought Channing would be against it, but looking at him now made me not want to change it that way.

"There is one more important thing," I went on. "To avoid the shift of power like what happened a while back, everyone will be referring to Channing as the Alpha henceforth." I turned to Channing, wishing for him to refuse this, as that would mean he had not lost his personality.

Channing creased his brows, thinking about it for a while, and there was silence till he gave the final decision. The rustling of the leaves was the only thing heard as the members sat unusually quiet.

Channing hummed, "I think if they referred to me as Alpha, I will feel stiff."

His words made me release a breath of relief. Channing was simply angry and hurt right now. His personality was still here and there was not a lot to worry about.

"How about they refer to you as Alpha Channing?" I asked, giving a better option.

Channing smiled, "Okay, that would be better. So here forth, when things concerning pack duties are involved, that is the professional life, I will be referred as Alpha Channing." He looked my way and said proudly with his eyes still locked in my eyes, "And Selene will be talked to as Beta Selene away from her personal life." Channing turned back to the members smiling at them for the first time in a while, "Everyone fine with that?"

"Yes, Alpha Channing," came the reply in unison. The members relaxed with Channing's relaxed manner. I could see the change starting and the members were glad to have been forgiven by Channing.

"Umm, I think there are still questions unanswered," I saw to who had spoken, and it was Rita, the tomboy of our pack. It was rare to see her talking and be interested in the pack matters.

"What is it Rita go ahead," I urged.

Rita chewed her gum and rolled it over her tongues before asking, "What is your relationship with the Alpha?"
