I Scored Myself A Mate

"It seems that most of Sam's people are out." Allias commenting staring at the pile of bodies. Markus and Daniel had alerted the rest of the people on the compound, calling out a meeting at the auditorium. Luke was in his parent's office while the two elves stood outside watching how the people grabbed the dead and placed them on a pile. Soon in the distance Ea with Ares appeared, mark following them close behind. "Well it took you a while." He said and Ares shrugged his shoulders. 

"We sent the pup though. He asked as to break his seal and now he owes us."

"You made a deal with the poor kid?" Theseus asked and his brother grinned. 

"You never know when we will need him. So what's happening?" 

"It's over for now." Allias informed them. "They have sent people looking for Sam. They have called a meeting. Mikael on the other hand, just in case someone wants to know is in his room."

"Oh really?" Mark asked surprised. "I suddenly need to go to the bathroom." He said and ran away, following the familiar route to Mikael's room. 

"Humans are weird. Trying to hide that he wants that wolf." Ea commented and Allias laughed. 

"We should be getting inside too." He said and led them towards the auditorium. There were already a lot of people, even more gathering as time passed by, staring at the four elves that stood at the back close to the door. All of them seemed confused, Allias didn't really blame them. The sun had just started to rise but they were called at an emergency meeting. 

The King stared at the stage, a frown on his face as he felt Theseus grab his hand and squeeze it. 

"Are you alright?" he asked him instantly noticing the change in his expression. 

"Yeah." He answered with a chuckle. "Guys." He grabbed their attention. "This stage right there was the place I was tortured for the first time as a human." He told them. 

"Should we burn it down?" Ea asked with a serious expression. 

"Yes Ea I think we should." Ares agreed. "We can burn these people here too. Imbecile peasants torturing our king. I could just…"

"Calm down." Theseus told them and put them in their places. "We are here for business. Don't be foolish." He scolded them and his brother scoffed. "We will burn this place down when they can't see us and pin it on us. I thought I taught you better than this." He said and Allias burst out laughing, taking the hand of his lover. 

"I am fine or at least one day I will be." He reassured them.

Luke on the other hand was definitely not fine. He was sitting on his father's office which was now his with Daniel by his side. Markus was sent out to organize the pack meeting before he appeared. He was hiding his face on his palms, his elbows resting on the desk as he breathed in heavily. What was he supposed to do now? He wasn't ready for any of this. 

"Relax. We will take everything step by step and you will be fine. Markus will be here too." Daniel said, trying to soothe his worries. He caressed his back before he rounded the desk and sat at the armchair in front of him. "At first you need to inform the people. Talk about your father's death. We will announce you as the new Alpha after that." 

"And Sam? When will I be able to kill that bastard?" He asked, facing him, his hands clenched in fists. At the moment he didn't care about anything else. All he wanted was to find his cousin and make him beg for his life. Smile in his face as he slashed his throat and ended him. That was what he deserved for everything he had done. A humiliating pain. 

"Markus sent people to look for him. You can't kill him though. We will have to give him t the Council. I have already called them. They will be here tomorrow night." 

Luke's eyes widened, worry spreading all over his heart as he heard of the Council's arrival. He couldn't bring them here. Not yet. Not while Alexander was out there, alone and not in control. He had to deal with him first. Make sure he was okay and hide him. He didn't know what they might try to do.

"I need to find Alexander then. I can't have them knowing he will be here. I need to protect him." He said and stood up, ready to leave the room and drop everything. He should have followed him back then. He knew he should but once again he was a coward. 

"No, you can't leave to compound. We haven't caught Sam yet and it's dangerous. I will talk to the elf King. From what I've realized he is getting along with that boy. He will be able to bring him back. We are already indebted to the elves anyway. There is no way to erase that, at least we will use them as much as we can for now. You need to stay in."

"I want to be the one to find him. I need to talk to him, please." Luke begged but Daniel didn't seem to budge at all. 

"Listen to me. Alexander can't be here right now. I will have the elves take him for now. Once the council leaves you personally will go get him. They are already watching us Luke, they always do. You will put Alexander in more danger like that." He explained and the young wolf sighed. Everything had turned upside down. All of his dreams had been crushed in just one night and now he was left alone with a pack on his back. He wasn't even able to protect the guy he loves how would he make it out of this?

"Come on. It's time for your speech and then I will tell you everything." He said and Luke's eyes widened. Finally, at least now he would get to know the truth. He nodded and opened his office's door, letting Daniel exit first. He fixed his freshly worn shirt and began walking. 

Today was a time of change. 

Suck it up and do it. He told himself as he entered the crowded room.
