CHAPTER ONE

Today was the first day of classes for the first class of the Academy; the students for both the Rouge Retrieval Unit and the Lycan Protection Unit were excited and nervous. These students would set the bar for all of the future classes, the first class for the Rouge Retrieval Unit would be hand to hand combat training and the first class for the Lycan Protection Unit was called story telling. The story telling class is where each student is presented with a series of events where Lycans have been exposed to human contact and they have to come up with a cover story to protect the Lycan community.

The hand to hand combat training is for the Lycan to be able to protect or take down any opponent that is attacking them. The instructor for the hand to hand training would be Mark Shuttle and the instructor for the story telling would be Sandy Russell.

The first week of training consisted of mostly physical training in the human form, as well as classroom training on the procedures that would need to be followed when out in the field.

The class for the Rouge Retrieval Unit started with thirty students and at the end of the first week of training the class now had only twenty five students. Two dropped out because of injuries and three were dropped because they were unable to meet the physical standards. The Lycan Protection Unit dropped seven students for failing to meet the educational standards, the class started with forty students.

The second week of training was a joint class on basic self defense. This was aimed at the female students so that they could be able to defend themselves in the event of an attack on them while in human form.

This class pitted the male students against the female students. Two students stood out from all the others. Sam Wilson stood six feet four inches and weighed almost two hundred fifty pounds. His dirty blonde hair and steel grey eyes and his physically fit body made him stand out from all the other students in the Rouge Retrieval Unit. The main problem that the other students and some of the instructors had was with his attitude. Sam felt that he didn’t need any one to succeed in the unit. Sam was as close to being a rouge as a Lycan could come without actually being one. Sam was a loner in his home pack and never fit in with the other pups when he was growing up.

Sam was pitted against a cute female Lycan named Darlene Simpson and she stood only five feet seven inches and weighed maybe one hundred thirty pounds soaking wet. Her red hair and green eyes made her strikingly beautiful. Sam decided he would take it easy on her because he thought he could get to know her better.

Darlene stepped out on the map when her name was called followed by Sam. Sam felt confident that he could put her down with one hand. When the instructor told them to begin Sam was surprised at how quick this female was. Sam moved closer to her with the intent of grabbing her but when he reached out with his arms Darlene dropped to the floor and did a leg sweep on Sam and he fell to the mat and Darlene was on top of him and drew back her hand to hit Sam in the face.

The instructor blew his whistle to stop the two Lycans. Sam ignored the whistle and pushed up with his legs causing Darlene to lose her balance and Sam rolled out from under her and he took his massive arms and wrapped her up and he stood and slammed her on her back. The impact with the mat knocked the wind out of her. She lay on the floor and Sam went to pin her to the ground when he was grabbed from behind picked up into the air and he found himself lying on his back with a foot on his throat. Sam tried to squirm free from the foot but the more he moved the more pressure that was applied to his throat.

Sam slapped the mat to tell whoever it was that he gave up. The pressure was released from his throat and then the foot was gone. Whoever it was was helping Darlene and Sam had his back to him. Sam turned and lunged at the stranger and grabbed him by the throat. Sam had every intention of applying a choke hold to him. When Sam grabbed the stranger he found that the stranger had grabbed his arms and flipped Sam over his head and Sam hit wall stunned by the action of the stranger Sam let out a low growl.

The stranger stood and said, don’t do it.

Sam ignored the warning and jumped at the stranger. The stranger side stepped to the side and slammed a powerful fist to the back of Sam’s neck. Sam fell to the mat and he submitted to the stranger. The stranger said I told you not to attack, you try something like what I just witnessed again and you will find yourself on a bus back to your pack.

Just who in the hell do you think you are? Sam said.

I am your boss and supervisor, Greg Jackson. You lost your temper and let it get the best of you. Being in the Rouge Retrieval Unit the last thing that you can do is lose your temper. One more incident like this and you will be history. Do you understand?

Sam shook his head that he understood. I’m sorry sir, it won’t happen again.

Greg looked at Mark who was teaching the class and said Mark send him to my office after class today. He and I need to talk.

Will do Greg, he will be there.

Greg walked out of the training area and headed back to his office. He had Sam’s file brought to him and he sat down and reviewed Sam’s personal file. Greg leaned back in his chair and started leafing through the personal file on Sam Wilson. Looking at his history Sam will be a perfect addition but the big concern is his temper. Greg tossed the file back on his desk and got up and left his office. He went outside and try as he may he wasn’t sure how to temper down Sam’s temper and not kill his enthusiasm.

Mike walked up behind Greg and said, My friend you look troubled.

Hey Mike, well I guess I am a little. Greg went on and told Mike what happened in the class today and that he was in a dilemma on how to handle it.

Mike answered, I would just chew on him a little and make sure he understands that his temper won’t be tolerated.

That makes a lot of sense, it shouldn’t curb his enthusiasm.

Greg headed back to his office to meet with Sam and deal with the problem, an hour after he was back Sam came and knocked on his door.

Come in Mr. Wilson and have a seat.

Sam entered Greg’s office and took the seat right across from Greg. Looking Sam over Greg could tell that Sam was nervous and worried about what Greg would do.

Mr. Shuttle said you wanted to see me sir.

That’s right Mr. Wilson, I am a little concerned about your temper, what happened today was totally uncalled for, I have reviewed your file and I see that you have a history of losing your temper, that has raised some big red flags about you. The last thing that I need in the field is a agent that cannot control his temper. Trying to bring a rouge in is hard enough and you may be required to use force to bring him or her in. Our goal is not to kill or injure the rouge, while I understand that it may happen from time to time, our goal is to bring them in unharmed. Do you understand that?

"Yes sir I do. I know that it was stupid to lose my temper and I promise you sir it will not happen again.

Mr. Wilson, I believe you when you say it will not happen again. but I promise you this, if it does you will find yourself out of here and on your way back home. Now with that said I want you to maintain your level of enthusiasm, I want you to keep it up, you won’t be punished for using your talents and your abilities. The courses that all of you are taking are demanding and will push you to your limits, but you must know when to reign it in just like you will need to know when to use force or not to use force in the field."

Yes sir, I understand that. I can only say that I am not use to having a female put me down the way she did and I have learned a valuable lesson from it, and that is to be prepared for anything from anyone.

"Very good Mr. Wilson. You are dismissed and good luck in your training and I look forward to see you graduate.

Yes sir and thank you. Sam got up and left Greg’s office and headed back to his dorm room. Before he headed to his room he wanted to find Darlene and try to make amends. When he arrived at the dorm building he spotted Darlene sitting on the ground reading and he walked up to her and said, Miss Simpson may I speak with you a moment?

Sure what’s on your mind?

I wanted to apologize to you for today, I lost my temper and I should not have done that. Having a female drop me to floor like that is not something I am use to. I learned a very useful lesson because of that happening, Again I am very sorry Miss Simpson.

Don’t worry about it, I can understand it happening and please call me Darlene.

Thanks for being understanding, and please call me Sam.

Sam and Darlene continued to see each other often after their classes during the next six weeks, They had become fast friends and were seen often together during their time at the Academy during class hours and then again after hours. Though neither admitted it to anyone it was believed that they were more than just friends.

Graduation day had finally arrived and the seven students from the Rouge Retrieval Unit class and the ten students from the Lycan Protection Unit were all excited that they had finished their classes. All seventeen of the students were offered positions with the Federation in their field. All of them would be given two weeks off to do as they wished before they reported back to Reidsville and going to work.

Jacob stood with Dawn, Chuck and his two twin pups Amanda and Susan and looked over the new headquarters of the United Lycan Federation; Jacob had never envisioned that he would be the one behind the creation of something like this. The Academy was graduating its first classes for the Rouge Retrieval Unit and the Lycan Protection Unit today, So much had happened since he and Linda had started this pack in what seemed like a lifetime ago.

There were almost five hundred Alpha’s along with their families and members from the High Councils from the other continents. This Federation has quickly become the leading authority for the packs. The Federation expanded the High Council from the original seven members to include members from Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and Africa; this brought the total number to seventeen members on the High Council. The first order of business that they did was taking the Lycan book of laws and adopt them for the Federation. The High Council made three additional changes for the High Council. Councilmember’s would now be Sub-Alpha’s and the Chairman would now be the Alpha. They also changed the term of the council from two and four years to lifetime. The vote on the makeup changes to the High Council was not unanimous the vote was sixteen to one, the no vote coming from Jacob.

You know Babe, This is a good day.

Babe it’s a great day for the Federation.

I do have to agree with you.

The graduation ceremony would be starting in less than an hour and all of the Alpha’s and their families were gathered and seated on the lawn facing the stage. The new High Council was seated in the front row. The one o’clock start time was quickly approaching and Jacob stepped onto the stage. The audience clapped when he walked to the podium and Jacob waited for the applause to stop.

"Thank you and welcome to the first graduation from the Academy. Our Rogue Retrieval Unit and the Lycan Protection Unit will be the driving forces behind the capture of rouge Lycans and providing a cover story for incidents that expose our packs to
