I figured it was about time I called my friend and Beta into the office and had a serious talk with him. It had been twelve years since he sent his six-year-old son to his brother-in-law's pack in Europe.
I loved that kid like he was my son, and I miss him. I still remember watching the four pups, my three children, and Angel, my Beta's son, play on my office floor.
I went against my Beta's decision to send his son away, but I understand my friend's decision. He had just lost his mate and didn't feel the strength to be my Beta and father at the same time. I never thought he'd let his son reach adulthood far away. So I decided to intervene.
When there was a knock on the door, I knew it was him.
Rat-tat-tat
- You may come in.
- Alpha! - Brady greets, showing his neck.
- Sit down, old friend. We have to talk.
I could see in Brady's face that he had no idea what I wanted to talk about, and that was good; it was going to take him by surprise.
- I wanted to ask you if you don't think it's time for Angel to come home. He should have already started training, or don't you want the boy to be my son's Beta?
- You're right, Ulric –. My friend answers me and rubs his face with his hands. – every time I talk to him by video call, I intend to tell him to come back, but the boy is happy in England, he has his friends and studies there. I'm always indecisive and never say anything.
- You know very well that he also talks to my children. The distance did not stop their friendship. I even talk to him from time to time. He's a good boy, but he doesn't belong in his uncle's pack. He belongs to our pack and should replace you when you retire. - I told him, showing the greatest of convictions.
- I'll call him today and ask him to prepare for his return. After all this time, I don't even know if he wants to come back.
- He will come back. He knows his future is to be my son's Beta. He belongs to the Lycan Moon Pack.
I let my friend go and do his Beta duties, and I sat there thinking.
Honestly, I imagined the boy had his whole life in the River Ash Pack, and that was going to be a hard decision to be back, but a alfa can only hope.
Moving from a pack like that to ours wasn't going to be an easy change. They lived in a modern way. They had built a village in the middle of the forest with everything that any other human village has. Cafes, bars, clubs, and even a shopping mall. All things young people love.
My pack, despite not being small or poor, lived more humbly. We have a hospital, which is basically a maternity home, where our children are born. We werewolves rarely turn to doctors.
We have a large gym where our members go to train and improve their physique.
We have a school that serves students from the first year until they finish high school.
And we have several villas where our more than five hundred members live.
We are not a small pack, that, we are not.
About three hundred and fifty are trained to fight and the rest are old people, children and people who work different jobs. We have bakers, farmers, hunters, cooks, and all professions needed for the survival of a large pack.
But when a young person wants to have fun in a bar or disco, he has to travel many miles to get there.
Don't get me wrong, I could have all this done here in the pack, but I don't want to. Maybe one day my son, when he's alpha,'ll do it.
My pack would undoubtedly be a major lifestyle change for Angel.
My hope is that, before he's a young man, he's a werewolf, and we're social people. He'll want to come home, I'm sure.
I decided to stop thinking about it and pay attention to the documents in front of me. In addition to Alfa, I was also the CEO of a large company, whose headquarters were in the middle of Wall Street.
It was the pack's biggest source of income. Everyone received money for their personal expenses, and food was free. There were no poor people here, and I, as an alpha, had to do my best to keep the money coming in.
I basically work from home, and my PA, a human who is aware of our existence, spends time traveling by helicopter between the pack and the company, letting me know when I actually have to show up for business meetings and matters that I can only decide on.
To be completely honest, I would be lost without my PA, and I'm grateful that humans like him exist. I still have high hopes that among our members, someone recognizes him as a mate, but that doesn't matter now. He wants me to turn him into a werewolf, and I probably will soon.
I was rereading an account report when my Beta contacted me through mind-link.
“Ulric, I just spoke to my son. He promised to return to the pack within two weeks. He says he wants to finish high school and say goodbye to his friends.”
“That is excellent news, my friend.”
When I ended the mind-link, I couldn't help but smile. I should have pushed Brady to do this a long time ago. I decided to tell my Luna.
“Raven, I have good news. Angel will come home soon.”
“When?” – she asks me happily.
“Within two weeks. Brady just told me. You have to organize a welcome party for him.”
"I got it. Let it to me." - my mate answers me.
I closed the mind-link and went back to the documents, but still smiling.
When my middle son slams the door and walks in without waiting for me to answer, I have to take a deep breath to keep myself from throwing a stapler at his head.
- You need help dad - he told me, making me forget the irritation. This son of mine was the only one with a business liking. The others spent their free time on the training ground or playing silly games.
He loves to sit next to me, reading and analyzing documents.
- Help is always welcome. - I answered him.
He gives me a big smile, which I love, and sits down across from me, hands outstretched.
I always have to laugh at his eagerness to read and review documents.
- These documents are from a business proposal. I don't know if the proposal is very advantageous for us. Can you review and give me your opinion? - I told him, passing a folder into his hands. I'm not closing this deal, but I want to hear Dominic's opinion.
He takes the documents from my hand and immediately starts studying them with a very serious face. I'm a lucky parent.
- Do you want to know very good news?
He immediately looked at me and nodded.
- Angel will be coming home when he finishes high school, which is to say, in two weeks.
- vacations? - my son asked me.
. No. Forever.
I had been waiting a long time for my father to ask me to come home. What I didn't expect was for him to tell me that it was the alpha who insisted.I don't know if my father doesn't really like me or if it's the fact that I look like my mom that has kept him away from me for more than twelve years.Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy here. It was a lot worse at first. No one could expect a six-year-old pup, who had just lost a mother, not to be upset about losing a father as well. My uncle, the Alpha of the River Ash Pack, my late mother's only brother, made me feel a part of the pack, of the family. He and my aunt had two children. A girl one year older than me and a boy one year younger. We grew up together like brothers, and I trained, since I was little, with the future alpha of the pack.You could say that my beta genes made me strong, but my cousin won most of the fights we had in training camp. No wonder, after all, he was an alpha, and I think that the times I won, he just let
Today, I received the best news in years: My little Angel is going to come back home. I miss that little one so much.He wasn't that little anymore, but I've only seen his face all these years on my kids' phone screens. I'm looking forward to hugging him. My little Angel, who was always an angel around my terrorist children.Dominic is already holed up in his father's office. I tell you, I don't know who that kid looks like. Even his father doesn't like bureaucracy as much as he does, but I'm sure Ulric will break the news to him. So, I can only break the news to Klaus and Colby, who are certainly sitting in the game room stuffing their faces with junk food.When I opened the door to the playroom, I was in awe. Nobody was there. I went to look in the kitchen and found Colby eating a sandwich that was bigger than his head.- You have the mouth for all that? - I asked him, laughing.- Of course, Mom - he answers me, opening his mouth and biting a big piece of the sandwich.I had to laug
sixteen years ago- Luna – the warrior says, with a bow.Raven hugs her friend tight.- How many times have I asked you to call me Raven? You know that only in official acts I'm your Luna. In everyday life, we are best friends.- You know that, in the first place, I'm a warrior of the pack; you are my Luna – she says, laughing and returning the hug.- Come and have tea with me, Mary – Raven tells her.- I can't, I have to train the 10-year-old class. That's why I came here.Luna knew what Mary was asking for and interrupted her.- Where is my favorite puppy? - the Luna says, peering behind Mary's back at a small pup clinging to her mother's legs.Angel was two years old, the same age as Colby, Luna's youngest pup, and he was adorable.Angel laughs, and when Raven opens her arms, he runs into her lap.- Can Angel play with Coby, Domi and Kaus? – he asked in his baby voice.- Of course, my Angel – she puts the little one down, and, she says – they are playing in their father's office. G
I'm frustrated. I didn't come, and the she-wolf ran out of my room. All because my mother is happy with the return of her offspring from another mother.Sighing, I decide to take a shower and jerk off, thinking about the fuck that was left in the middle.Angel is coming home. I miss him, but I'll never tell that to anybody, all because of our past.I regretted what I did the same day, but Angel fulfilled what he promised and never spoke to me again. I could see him, with his tiny eyes, looking at me and letting tears escape, but neither he nor I spoke again.When, a year later, his mother died, I wanted to hug and comfort my friend, but I couldn't. I was like an idiot, clinging to my father and crying. Shortly afterward, he moved to England, and although I often watched while my brothers chatted with him via video call, the truth is that I stopped doing it a long time ago. We will never be friends again, and I'm the only one to blame for that.- Shit - I screamed in frustration. - My
When I had that horrible conversation with Peter, he cried. It broke my heart. I didn't see or speak to him for all three days, and it was tearing me apart inside.When, on the fourth day, he came to me with a miraculous idea, I immediately agreed. He wanted us to get married, so I had an excuse to stay or he would leave with me.Same-sex marriage has been legal for many years, and when we were going to prepare everything, my uncle stopped me and put some sense into my head.Peter and I were inconsolable.I have finally reached the end of my senior year, and today's my graduation day and today I will receive my diploma.. I have been studying at TASIS, The American School in England, since I came to the UK.It was my uncle's choice to keep me as "Americanised" as possible, in his words. It's a good school and I finished my senior year at the top. I'm the student with the best GPA, right after Peter. We're called the nerd couple by my peers, but we think it's funny. Peter chose to study
When the helicopter landed on our helipad, we were all safely away, outside the fences that kept the area isolated from pups.Angel wasn't the first figure we saw. A tall, upright pup, giving off a powerful alpha aura, stepped out of the helicopter and looked around until he saw us. He just stood there like he was protecting someone. Afterward, the pilot came out, carrying with him some bags. Finally, the most beautiful specimen of werewolf I have ever seen jumps out of the helicopter.I'm not gay, but there was a werewolf capable of making heads of all genders spin. I know how to appreciate male beauty. We werewolves are very rarely ugly. Even rogues are attractive, either way, but there in front of us was the most beautiful of them all.Dressed in light blue jeans, ripped above the knee, a white T-shirt, white sneakers and a jacket to match the pants, he was a tall creature with an athletic physique, slightly long blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. That one was Angel, his face was
Angel took a shower, and changed into a PJ. Then he started taking the clothes out of the four suitcases he had brought and chose the clothes he was going to wear to the party. He hoped not to shock anyone, but he'd spent his teenage years proving to the world that being gay was okay. If the pack didn't accept him, he would return to England. Maybe that was what Angel really desired. He felt the security that his uncle always gave him, and thanks to him, Angel had the courage to face the world.After everything is arranged and the clothes are ready, he turns away the gifts. He'll open them later. He lies down on the bed, falling asleep immediately.When it was almost 8 pm, they knocked on the door, waking him up. It was Colby.- Angel, it's time to wake up and get ready. We are waiting for you at the party.- There was no need for you guys to throw me a welcome party. I'm tired.. Don't be like that, hurry up. - Colby says, leaving and closing the door.Angel sighs. He was unwilling t
It's two in the morning, and I still can't sleep. The party was much better than I expected. I had a lot of fun. I met several pack members and concluded that Colby and Dominic were even crazier than I imagined. It was much more fun than the video call. I might do better here than I was thinking.In England, it's 7 am. Peter must be asleep. I miss him, kissing his soft lips, tasting his whole body, making love to him. And that's it. Now, besides not being able to sleep, I have a boner.I decided to take a shower and maybe jerk off.The hot water on my tense body felt divine. I ended up jerking off imagining my love.I swear I thought sleep would come after this, but damn, jetlag.I put on some track shorts and went downstairs. I don't know the pack, but I want to let Snow run. He, like me, is anxious about all these changes.The pack door was closed but not locked, and I noiselessly opened the door and slipped out into the night. The pack was beautiful, only lit by moonlight. In my un
