God damn Ranger, quit being entitled with Claire. Seriously arguing about coffee, or just being a dick? Props to Diane though, muffins are a universal win. I got fuzzies when she thanked them/us for finding the traps, you could hear the warmth and relief. x3 Claire you are TERRIBLE at hiding werewolves when you're worked up lmao Something tells me if the poachers didn't get lucky, someone in the Pack is in trouble. "It's called common courtesy, Ranger. You've got enough room under that hat, you might want to put some there." I snorted. Claire is the queen of sass and snark, that and the door schtick was gold.
"W-wolves? No. We haven't seen any." 😉 the ANTAGONISM between these two is BEAUTIFUL. Anything out of the ordinary... could be a compliment? maybe? if you squint??
I don’t know if the ranger perhaps knows more about the supernatural than he is letting on or if he just has a very bad gut feeling about them. If it’s the second option I think him and Claire could come to at the very least respect the other for caring so deeply about their home and people. Also I’m a sucker for dominant girls and Beth is already pretty dominant but I can’t wait to find out how dominant the damn alpha is.
Hmmmmmmm… I’m gonna bet that the next time ranger gets an audio we’re gonna learn something important about them. Also might be the only one to say it buttttt, i like the ranger and I am very curious to figure out what’s going on in that brain that’s making them act like this… my bet is something bad.
Ah, a return to my old, dear friend, the Park Ranger who almost certainly has a conspiracy board by now. Newspaper clippings, red string, the whole works...Diane unfortunately probably has to listen tot hem rant when they get wired up about it. I'm starting to headcannon that Ranger is 100% human, no grand secret or special magic background, but is one of the only humans who has noticed how much of a hotspot Glenwood is. One of those 'right for the wrong reasons' theorists that no one is taking seriously. Good to see there's all the more reasons to keep forcing these two to cross paths, can't wait to see Claire and Ranger's side of a festival this time, though I have a sneaking suspicion it won't be nearly as sugary sweet as Beth and Seer's time together...But maybe a little less hostile than they've been, if we're lucky. Poachers attracted to big game by the deer population...Seer's vision was that they caught the shifters out on a hunt, and the Poachers revealed they knew there were massive wolves around...Do they know what they were going to be trapping out in the woods? Or just greedy for some abnormally large wolf pelts to add to the collection? Neither answer is particularly comforting, but I'll keep my mind open to the possibility that the poachers might be more important than just some minor annoyances in Claire's back yard... Also, if the poachers caught sight of the shifters to know there were wolves around, did the pack fail a massive spot check on that one and not sniff out the nearby humans that could've been watching them? Or did they ignore it and keep pretending to be wolves to not blow their cover? Or did they know/guess that the poacher's know? Not totally clear, Claire likes to be cagey...Especially around Ranger. Definitely not helping the pack's 'shadiness', Claire, and even Beth, and been dancing around a lot of subjects, and while I have more trust in them then someone like Rachelle, they're not helping their case with how flighty they can be... And speaking of flighty and cagey...Oh my god Claire might have a lot of sass but she certainly lacks subtlety. What was that, 3 near misses in one conversation with the Ranger you know is breathing down your neck? Claire, honey, you are playing fast and loose with those slips... Which onto the sass...Claire's a riot, and I continue to headcanon that Ranger is a very dry counter to those delightful jabs. A lot of 'Enemies to Lovers' have implied history to get right to the change of hearts and bonding moments...Not this series. Oh boy have we gotten to see the "enemies" side, they are vicious to each other sometimes...both with some pretty reasonable reasons to dislike and not trust one another. Ones that could probably be avoided, Claire's revealing herself to be kinda bad at covering things up and Ranger has 0 tact...Can't wait to see how we even get to 'friends' let alone 'lovers'. ...Maybe when they hook up one day, long long down the line...Ranger can show Claire their conspiracy board room and they can have a good long laugh... Or update the tag to [Enemies to Lovers to Enemies Again] ...I read your community posts...I shouldn't be giving you ideas...
I do love reading your dissertations 💛 I can actually confirm some of your headcanon/theories! The Ranger is definitely human, no magic to speak of but keenly aware of these not-so-normal newcomers in town. As for the poachers. The pack actually has wards set up around their territory which is why Claire was so concerned. Some of the pack have been getting a little adventurous during their hunts and going outside of the ward where they can be noticed. The festival will focus on all the little groups of Glenwood (Beth and Beautiful, Dear with Rosie and Abby, Genevieve and Sweetheart) but Claire will definitely get her time with the Ranger. Enemies to lovers to enemies, you say?? Very interesting. 🤔
@@castleaudios I...Forgot about the Ward, oh my god do I feel...Sheepish. Yeah that makes a lot more sense then trying to engineer a bunch of grand theories about the poachers and the shifter pack I...Oops. This is going on the grand tally of "things I wasn't even close about" isn't it? Oooooh, I'm even MORE excited to hear that we're actually going to get a little of everyone at the festival! Love the times you get to converge the stories back in on each other like this! ...And there I've gone opening Pandora's Box. XD
Dang, I _just_ wrote my fan theory about how Ranger's a druid. My next one might be that old grandpappy Ranger thought himself a werewolf hunter and passed along that bs.
Ranger: You know Ms. Claire, your level of animosity you have towards "khakis" like me, are usually reserved for the red and blue; city folks usually deal with (according to what you've told your family's from). Claire: ... Ranger: Just an observation.
Incredibly glad that I found this series and your channel by extension. I think this is the first time a video like this has me making a fan theory. Namely that Ranger is acting they way they do as a means to provoke Clair into making the one slip up Ranger needs. Almost had it too, with how they were swinging at each other right off the bat. Loving the slow burn to this!
My head cannon for why the Ranger in acting like an ass: Ranger's an upity druid who's upset that **anyone's** allowed to hunt the deer on the land he's charged with. Maybe they also feel emberassed that the pack discovered the traps on "his land" instead of him. It's just hard to imagine the Ranger getting redeemed enough for Claire to start loving him, at this point anyway. I'm obviously hooked. MORE PLEASE!!!
I didn’t see the notification because I was distracted and then it came on my front page and I was way too excited for it, I almost died from coughing 😂
Ahhhh I seriously don't like the way Ranger is acting but I really like Claire and her sass. I am so curious to find out what the hell is Ranger's deal because I really do not like the way that they treat Claire at alllllllll and it's so frustratiiiiing. I have a feeling that like all the other stories there's something deeper going on. Maybe something Ranger is insecure about or like...maybe they're someone who was turned (dunno if werewolves operate the same where they can turn people with a bite and the mechanics of that) without anyone to support them and so they had to learn on their own and something about Claire rubs them the wrong way and that's the way they treat her in such a passive aggressive manner.....But it's still so incredibly frustrating to see them be like this aaaaaaAAAAAAA. Amazing work as always Castle! Hope you've been having a good week and that you'll have a nice weekend EDIT: I now understand what the other comments mean by The Door and it's fucking hilarious
I'm interested in the story with this Ranger so far. Enough I'm beginning to wrap my own little ideas about this character and his past. Came across this channel just today and I'm excited for the next installment of the series Did some searching up about the ideas running through my head. And the listener's profession. I'm very curious about the Ranger's additude and why he's being rather, loud about his approach. Maybe he's trying to make her slip up by being so horrendously annoying I like to think the Ranger had a previous career in the military and did a tour in the war on terror. Perhaps even seeing something he wasn't ever supposed to see while in the sand. I feel like that might explain why he's gotten so conspiracy theorist on these new people in town, and his obnoxious behavior around Claire. Also. Assuming he's a Park Ranger. His main job is to enforce the park, its safety regulations and serve as a guide. He has no authority to investigate. Which produces a giggle from me.
1:19 in the near future ranger DID bake muffins (I think) in one of the Halloween or new year’s event 1:34 blatantly honest lmao 😭 6:30 lol 6:37 oh rude! 😂😂 6:47 DAYUM THAT WAS A VIOLATION 7:14 XD 7:22 PHAHA 7:28 CACKLING 😂😂
Hmmm... I'm being a little more of a jerk then wariness of Shifters justifies... I wonder if I have a reason... Or if I'm just a bit of a pompous blowhard...
Its a good thing she secretly likes me, or I would probably be at serious risk of being sued for harassment.
The way i sprinted to my headphones
Now that i know ranger bakes I want the muffins diane gave the pack to be made by them and the ranger just not telling claire
God damn Ranger, quit being entitled with Claire. Seriously arguing about coffee, or just being a dick? Props to Diane though, muffins are a universal win.
I got fuzzies when she thanked them/us for finding the traps, you could hear the warmth and relief. x3
Claire you are TERRIBLE at hiding werewolves when you're worked up lmao Something tells me if the poachers didn't get lucky, someone in the Pack is in trouble.
"It's called common courtesy, Ranger. You've got enough room under that hat, you might want to put some there." I snorted. Claire is the queen of sass and snark, that and the door schtick was gold.
Listening back through these. I wonder if the reason the Ranger is so paranoid is because of the whole thing I won’t say for spoiler reasons lol
"goodmorning ranger..I hope your having a good day so far"
*ok im scared.. what do you want.. what did you do..*
Ain't no heckin' woofers round these parts, ranger. You're crazy.
I'm honestly expecting both to end up hate screwing each other with alot of stuff being broken, scratching, bite marks etc... throughout the night.
The ranger almost reminds me of a little kid thats clearly attracted to someone and has no idea how to show it.
They definitely have a little bit of the tism
“I don’t want to see your khakis on my property “
Me: got it, I’ll wear jeans
"W-wolves? No. We haven't seen any." 😉 the ANTAGONISM between these two is BEAUTIFUL. Anything out of the ordinary... could be a compliment? maybe? if you squint??
0:03 you forgot the other part *knock knock knock knock knock* then *knock knock* 😭🤣🤣
Assuming my theory Is right, the only danger she see's is traps and the only danger Ranger see's is a 'Pack First' mentality.
I don’t know if the ranger perhaps knows more about the supernatural than he is letting on or if he just has a very bad gut feeling about them.
If it’s the second option I think him and Claire could come to at the very least respect the other for caring so deeply about their home and people.
Also I’m a sucker for dominant girls and Beth is already pretty dominant but I can’t wait to find out how dominant the damn alpha is.
What a great gift to go into the weekend with, bless
Hmmmmmmm… I’m gonna bet that the next time ranger gets an audio we’re gonna learn something important about them. Also might be the only one to say it buttttt, i like the ranger and I am very curious to figure out what’s going on in that brain that’s making them act like this… my bet is something bad.
I love her so so much 🤣🤣💚💚💚 the sarcasm. The sass.the honesty.
Oh gosh this really is going to be a slow burn, buuuuttt it’ll be worth it in the end right?
Right?…
Definitely my favorite story to listen to! I love it a lot!

*excited noises* Ahhh, this just made my day amazing!
Ranger: You know Ms. Claire, your level of animosity you have towards "khakis" like me, are usually reserved for the red and blue; city folks usually deal with (according to what you've told your family's from).
Claire: ...
Ranger: Just an observation.
I have never enjoyed the midweek. Now when I see these vids, I’m ecstatic

I'm obviously hooked. MORE PLEASE!!!
I mean the redemption I see is just that he's the type of guy who doesn't know how to show he likes a girl and acts like a dick
I wonder if the ranger just like theorising or they have a ability that make them sensitive and they don't know it.
I didn’t see the notification because I was distracted and then it came on my front page and I was way too excited for it, I almost died from coughing 😂
Totally love Alpha Claire thanks C.A.
OoO!!!! These two! Detective Toxic lookin for lore!!!
Aahhh I have been waiting for the continuation of this serieeees
Thank you Castle :D
this is amazing i totally am listening to this to go to bed ☺️

EDIT: I now understand what the other comments mean by The Door and it's fucking hilarious
Great work as always
AHH YES IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!
oh heavens, I love Claire, I don't like being on her bad side
Awesome audio Castle

I apologize for my lengthy/multitude of comments, there was too many gems/favorite moments to resist pointing out lol
Never apologize! I love reading through comments like these 💛
love this series

Very nice

I would like another video of Beth the hot head beta
The ending was wonderful 😅
Best way to sus someone out is to keep them agitated.
Ranger out 👉😎👉
I know you probably already have stuff planned, but I think it would be cool to have a poacher's revenge episode.
I AM HERE
Yay! :)
Claire can make all the khaki jabs she wants but,,, ranger uniforms are cute... she is not immune
1:19 in the near future ranger DID bake muffins (I think) in one of the Halloween or new year’s event
1:34 blatantly honest lmao 😭
6:30 lol
6:37 oh rude! 😂😂
6:47 DAYUM THAT WAS A VIOLATION
7:14 XD
7:22 PHAHA
7:28 CACKLING 😂😂
LETSS GGOOO
