Moon Goddess just remove my nose...

The Wolf coughs out.

He exhaled out a thick smog of nicotine grey smoke from his nostrils and mouth, which Grim loathe because of the after effects of cigarettes to his sense of smell. Al was clearly doing this on purpose for what happened earlier, by the full packet in his hands it seems The Alpha's gonna burn their lungs to the fucking ground and Grim wasn't going to get much sleep either. Just brilliant.

Grim would rather have Al go back to drinking endless booze than smoking, though the hangover in the mornings wasn't any better. The Wolf thought whether his human smoked or drank, it did never solve their own problems.

Grim wasn't any help to him either, because The Wolf was just as lost too.

Until the women, parties, and illegal fights weren't enough to dull the pain.

Then came the drugs, but again, even that got old quickly and Al was numb.

But it seems cigarettes weren't going to be crossed out of The Alpha's system.

Before Cyrus came into the picture. It all just seemed bleak and dark for him.

Als depressive state had affected his grades, and his room soon became a dumpster wasteland. Al hated that no matter how hard he tried to sleep on some nights, he'd still find his pillows soaked with tears in the morning after.

Thinking about her again.

Her smile and laugh.

His dear Selena.

It was a miracle, Al has gone through a couple of months now not drinking himself unconscious or injecting some godforsaken stupid drug Al let other teenagers sneaked in from dealers, Allison did a great job shoving some senses into her frustrating son's head.

Things didn't stop there.

The serious confrontation Al had with his auntie Miranda upon the Head Luna discovering he was responsible for allowing this to happen The Alpha got collared up for weeks, well it was a reasonable punishment, after all...

Northwood could've been shut down.

Had it not been Weiler, who first found The Alpha in time during a serious overdose in his room one night and immediately called for help. That's when his grandmother Anselme got involved, she threatened to strip Al of his title and give it to Shane instead.

He was an irresponsible Alpha.

Yet it was the one thing he couldn't let happen, Shane can't---shouldn't be the Head Alpha so Al got his shit together.

Al didn't want to lose the absolute sheer power of authority, dictating, ordering, ruling others. Only he can become Head Alpha and Al was going make sure Shane never ever becomes the next heir.

Over his fucking dead body.

Al tapped into Shane, meanwhile the boy was in his own room, admiring his plants. {Shane, what the hell did I say about coming to my room?} Al snarled.

Shane expression went gloomy. {I just wanted to fix things between us, and I know you're not one to approach fir--}

{That still doesn't give you permission to come to my room. I warned you to mind your own business, and stay the fuck AWAY from mine.} The Younger Alpha was dejected. {But...Al. I just wanted to help yo---} Grims loud growl resonates.

Shane wince a bit hearing it.

{Remember. I didn't ASK for your help. You volunteer for it and I'm letting you do it because you want to. Besides that, leave me alone Shane. You can help with everything else.} The Younger Alpha then felt his brother block him out.
