Breaking the Bond that Binds.

Chapter 61 - Nope...can't think of anything.

I had a huge brain fart today and had to do this chapter quickly.  I had a few things I wanted to get down, this may be a little disjoint but it will all fall into place later.  Goodnight.  It's close to 1 am here and I need my zzz's.

The Pure Blood compound is basically a circular fortified stronghold, to the human world a very exclusive gated community. It covers a vast area and contains several buildings that make up the headquarters of the pack. Although most of the pack live in and around the city, it is the hub of the Pure Blood pack.

The compound holds a large barracks building for the guards and lieutenants; an armoury; there are two smaller buildings used as dormitory accommodation for the staff working in the compound, mostly unmated Lycans; there is a modern well-equipped hospital and the main house which is a sprawling mansion, through which all of the packs business dealings are done. There is a block of 5 apartments for the use of the Guardians. Only one is used...by The PA, the only unmated Guardian. An impressive mound rises in the center of the compound on top of which is the Chapel, the first and original structure on the site, built by the first Pure Blood that arrived here around 1900 when this was still very much a distant colony.

Entry into the compound is through a single gate. The perimeter is constantly monitored and the whole area is covered by CCTV. From the gate, a road runs around the compound leading to the different buildings, like spokes in a wheel. The lawns are lush, and trees and flower beds are dotted about. It is meant to show the lowborns the power and prestige of the pack. Although most never see more than a glimpse of it from the gate.

Virgil (PoV)

Virgil woke up feeling in a much better mood. He stretched out on the big bed and sighed contentedly. A few hours of solid sleep did wonders. He wondered if Paul was over the surprise of having someone crawling into bed with him. It was harmless and he meant nothing by it. Hopefully, he didn't take it the wrong way. In the past when he had a bad night full of nightmares or couldn't sleep he would call James and he'd pop upstairs and climb into bed with him, no sex, just comfort and he missed that feeling of being safe. Last night he just needed to know someone was there.

He wandered out of the bedroom and had a proper look around the apartment, it was just like The PA, minimalist, all white's, grey's and black's, very masculine, with no personal touches.

                                              On the table, he found a note.

                             I had an early breakfast meeting with the Alpha.

                                  Call me or Lewis if you need anything.

                    DON'T LEAVE THE COMPOUND without letting me know.

                                                                     P.

The main pack issues were covered quickly, they had time to enjoy their meal. The Alpha and PA were alone in the breakfast area. It was early in the morning and the main house was still fairly quiet.

"I thought he would be totally against the idea. You're a miracle worker Paul." Damien was enjoying his breakfast for a change, no grumpy Damos to spoil the mood, a problem solved without any drama, it was a good way to start the day. Paul was good company, he didn't say much.
