Unexpected

**Mark**

I stood at the head of the meeting table of what was left of my clan. They stared hopefully at me as I started to speak,

"Today I found the girl. “Everyone cheered. I cut them off "BUT! So did the local tribe and the mate have her heart already! I heard about their mates but never knew how fast it worked with one glance she no longer wanted anyone else. I could read it in her eyes when she looked at me. I even tried to seduce her nothing. It is a very powerful thing."

Ï have seduced a wolf before. She also had a mate." Richard said with a confused look on his face.

It might be stronger for them because of who they are." Tilde said.  Stared quietly at her dissolving her words.

"That’s it! It’s because of who they are if we were able to cause a conflict between the two or pull them apart from each other we'd be in business. "I smiled in victory.

"And how the hell do you expect to do that when the Luca's know we are after her? “Monica spat back, that's my supposed wife yeah I married her but on because I was told to I don't sleep nor fuck the bitch she just annoys me. I find my pleasure in human girl drink from them as you climax. It’s sad how my whole clan (what's left of it) all have mates that they enjoy being with and I’m stuck with that one.

"She is alone now..." responded with just as much attitude like who the fuck did she think she was? Oh right my wife... damn.

"Then why are we here? We should be working on a plan to get to her right now not going over unnecessary details. “She said and stood the females stood with her.

"And where do you all think you’re going?" I spat angrily.

"To save our fucking clan since you men are fucking wimps." Monica said and she left the room with her part of the clan.

"We should so make this a competition. “Robert smiled

"Shut up duff us" Todd retorted.

"No no that might actually help. If we make this a challenge there will be two against one in sense and the luca will feel out numbered." I said.

"But we only have 8 girl and 8 of us. The luca have 32 women alone counting the girl. And about 36 men." if they heard about this they might back up too and destroy our women. “Todd said in a frighten tone voice.

"Point made." I said. “Okay new plan... I apologize to Monica the women come back we work together to save our kind. The men nodded and I left the room to apologize to Monica. I found her and the women in the kitchen cooking something that smelt like dirt. They like to feel human when they could.

"Monica you were right I was wrong please come back and help us." seemed easy huh? I WASN'T!! Was mentally stabbing her as I said this.

"Forgiven baby “she smiled kissing my cheek." and turned the stove of and re-entered the meeting room.

"OKAY! Here is what we are going to do..."

*Derwin*

I softly knock on my father's door to give him his dinner but there was no response. I slowly opened the door. Immediately after I dropped the tray of food and sprinted to his side. He wasn't breathing and there was a letter in his hand.

Dear pack,

Today I know that my soul will pass on to the land of our ancestor to join them. I will forever be in your heart. To Derwin look under my mattress there is a key. Use it to open the box I gave you when you were younger. To the pack help your know alpha save his alpha female.

Much love

            Di

It just said Di instead of Dillard, had he died writing this letter.

"Dad! Dad! Come on you can be dead "I chuckled as tears swelled up in my eyes. I forced myself to laugh. When mom had did dad told me that men don't cry and I wasn't going to start now.

-Ring ring- it was my cell phone. I pulled it out of my pocket to find that it was Aria.

"Are you okay?" she asked "I was sitting here and then suddenly I felt that you were sad over something."

"I’m fine Aria. I got to go stay safe." that was just weird. Anyway I hung up the phone and frowned how did she feel that was it or wolf become one already? I shrugged and ran outside calling the pack.

"The chief “I air quoted “is dead."

They stared.

"My dad is dead I’m the alpha now. He died writing a letter. Here let me read it out loud "I read the letter to them 3 times. And they all looked at me. Then the elder ran into the house only to come out 30 minutes later crying.
