Darrell
Christopher always had a way of making me feel better whenever I was feeling down. I appreciated his friendship a whole lot and I'm glad I met him in this lifetime. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the years I've known him. Just as he has promised to always have my back, I will always have his.
I brought out my phone to call Lilith to find out how she was doing with the favour I asked of her as it was already 4:30 pm. As I was about to dial her number when my father linked me. "Yes, father." I answered him.
"Come to the house now," he ordered and broke the link.
What did he want from me now? I should be heading to Nelly's to meet up with Lilith for the sedatives but my father decided to see me now. I guess I will have to ask Christopher to represent me instead, I would not want to reschedule with Lilith. Whatever my father wanted from me would probably take a while so I had to make sure all grounds are covered and nothing is left hanging while I'm absent.
I linked Christopher "Chris, you will have to meet up with Lilith. My father just asked me to meet him and I suspect whatever he wants of me would take a while" I said to him through the mind link.
"I can't stand Lilith, but it's alright. I will let you know when I have the sedatives" he replied and I thanked him and broke the link. I linked Lilith as well to let her know Christopher would be the one meeting her, just so she does not give him a hard time. She tends to do that to Christopher all the time.
I met my father in the living area of the house when I got in. He was seated on his favourite chair and had an envelope in his left hand. "You summoned me, father," I said without getting too close to him.
"I need you to deliver this letter to Alpha Jack of the Cleven pack. You are to leave at once" he instructed. I was fuming inside but I knew there was nothing I could do.
"What's the content of the letter?" I asked him out of curiosity.
"Don't bother yourself about the content of the letter, just deliver it and return," he replied without looking at me. I took the letter from him and left the house.
I linked Christopher and told him about the development "Chris, I've been sent on an errand by my father. I do not think I will be back in time" I said to him through the mind link.
He replied asking "Where are you going to?"
I slapped the letter on my left palm and replied "Cleven pack. I'm going to deliver a letter to the Alpha"
Christopher tried to talk me into letting him run the errand in my stead but I refused. I broke the mind link and set off for the Cleven pack. I was on my way to the gates when my mother linked me.
"Darrell, my son. Can you hear me?" I stopped dead in my tracks. Hearing her voice in my head made me so emotional. I found a corner to be by myself so I could speak with her via the mind link before setting off.
"Mother, I can hear you," I replied to her, feeling a bit relieved that we could finally communicate via the mind link. "I have been trying to reach you since morning, but you were unreachable. You must know, I don't believe anything they are saying about you. I don't believe a single word of the accusations levelled against you" I told her, with determination in my voice.
"I am trying to see you, but father sent me on an errand. I will come to see you as soon as I get back. I want you to know that I don't believe what they're saying" I said to her.
"Oh my boy," she said, crying, "my sweet boy. I need you to be strong. No matter what happens at the end of all of this, I need you to be strong. You are the future of this pack and you have to stay strong, do you understand?" She asked me. I did not understand why she was speaking that way. She sounded as if she believed her life was coming to an end.
"Why are you saying these things, mother? Why are you talking like this?" I inquired. She sounded like someone whose fate has been sealed. "Mother, I am going to see you and we will straighten things out, just stop talking like this. I will come to see you soon. Alright?" At this point, I was fighting my emotions.
"I love you, my son," she replied and broke the link.
I felt devastated and scared. I did not like the way she sounded. My hands and knees were shaking; my throat felt dry, I looked for water to drink. I was being consumed by fear, and that made me more determined to see my mother.
I linked Christopher "Chris, I'm taking you up on your offer. Come meet me at the armoury." We met there and I gave him the letter and all the instructions he would need. I asked for his phone so I would receive the call from the Omega and I gave him mine. I took off to meet with Lilith while Christopher went ahead to Cleven pack. I prayed to the goddess to guide him and to let no harm or trouble come to him.
It was already ten minutes past five when I got to Nelly's. I met Lilith already waiting at the same booth where we sat during the first meeting. I joined her at the booth and I could tell she was surprised to see me but she did not bother asking why I showed up still. I saw it as a gesture and I was glad for it. I took the pills from her and thanked her for coming through.
"Darrell" she called to me as I was about to leave and I turned and looked at her. "You will be fine," she said and smiled at me; I nodded at her and left.
DarrellI rushed out of Nelly's after taking the pills from Lilith. I had to find a place to crush them but I knew I couldn't go home lest my father sees me. I wasn't supposed to be around anyway, I didn't want him finding out I delegated the errand he sent me to Christopher. He would definitely flip out if he should find out; I've seen him angry a lot of times and it is not something to look forward to. He could break a wolf's spirit when he's angry. I headed to the armoury and found a quiet corner to crush the pills to dust. The time was already a quarter past six, so I headed to the prison building to wait for the time. As I was walking, I bumped into Lilith. She had a backpack, so I guessed she was going to work on somebody. "You got a gig?" I asked her, trying to make small talk even though I didn't really have the time. I just thought it would be awkward bumping into someone you know without saying something to them. "Yeah, I got a gig. I'm painting a couple of people for one
Christopher I still couldn't see clearly after being knocked down by Darell. That was quite a blow for speaking the truth, I mean I did call his mother a bitch but only because it was true. "Darell that punch was not necessary. You and I both know that I didn't say anything new, you need to learn how to manage your anger," I said to him sitting on the floor where I fell and nursing my temple. "And you need to watch what you say about my family," he retorted in anger. Darrell hasn't been the same ever since his mother, who's the Luna of our pack was accused of murder; it is claimed she allegedly killed the Beta of our pack who was formerly the Gamma but rose in ranks through 'dubious' means. Before he maneuvered his way to that position, my father was Beta; but Darrell chose to keep me as his Beta and made sure everyone in our generation referred to me as such. It honestly felt weird, bearing the Beta title while my dad bore the Gamma title. It was quite unheard of in the history
Darrell All the things Christopher had said really got to me and I knew I had to make some things clear for myself. First, I needed to speak with my father because he was the only one I could go to for all the information I needed, and also ask his permission to see my mother. She was the only parent who cared about me. My father never really cared. He has always been a selfish person. A lot of times, I curse the goddess for sending me to such a family. But I guess, you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. I had a few friends, Christopher was the best of them. We practically grew up together. We got to my house and luckily, we found my father in the living area with Delta Bernard. They were discussing in low voices, like they didn't want the walls to hear what they were saying; which was why they were jumpy when they saw us. Actually, my father saw me first and tapped his Delta who then turned back to look at us. I was a bit surprised by their reactions but I paid
Darrell We would have to get past the guards in order to see my mother, and Chris and I were not coming up with any brilliant ideas. All the things we have been suggesting were either too dangerous or just stupid. "You know you can just walk up to them and order them to take you to your mother, right?" Chris said. It sounded right but I knew better. "I don't have that kind of authority, Chris. Moreover, don't you think my father would have ordered them not to let anyone visit any detainees?" I pointed out. I knew my father would have put orders in place to keep my mother from making contact with people and that would be no surprise. But I was open to any ideas that were not the foolish ones we have been coming up with. We went to the prison yard together to try out our luck with hopes that word would not get to my father. "Darrell, you know this was my idea, right? So if it does not pan out, it's on you to come up with a better one" Christopher pointed out. "More like a suggest
Christopher Darrell and I have been friends ever since we were little kids and we have grown to become more like brothers. We have always had each other's backs in tough times and also whenever either or both of us got into trouble. Seeing him go through a lot of emotions because of his mother's situation touched me deeply, he needed emotional support at a time like this and I would be there for him. I couldn't help but wonder why his father, the Alpha, would not let him see his own mother. No matter the crime one has committed, their loved ones should be allowed to see them. Not allowing people see their loved one who have been put in prison seemed unfair because if that person is found guilty of the crime they were accused of, they get either the death penalty or the life sentence. And they are usually taken to a different confinement when they get the life sentence. We would not be here trying to break the law if the law was fair to begin with. Darrell needed to see his mothe
Darrell I searched through my mother's bathroom cabinets but could not find any sedatives. All I found were aspirin and some antibiotics. I went to my father's bathroom to see if I would find something. I doubted I would find any but I had to explore all avenues. I looked through his cabinets but found nothing useful to me. I was disappointed, not because I was expecting my parents to be into drugs but because I would now have to reach out to Lilith, and I really did not want to. I brought out my phone and searched for her contact. I found it and dialed. She picked up on the second ring and spoke with a sultry voice which did not have its intended effect on me "Hi handsome. Missed me?" Paying no attention to her question, I replied "I need to see you immediately. Meet me at Nelly's restaurant". I have not eaten since morning and it was already 3:00 in the afternoon so I would use that opportunity to recharge my belly there. Before I could hang up, she replied "in a heartbeat". It
Darrell I walked out of the restaurant feeling satisfied. It was still 3:45 in the afternoon. I believed I gave Lilith enough time to get the pills. So I decided to meet up with Christopher to get the full details of his encounter with the server. I brought out my phone from my breast pocket and dialled his number. The call rang out. I dialled his number again and he picked up on the third ring. "What's going on, Chris? I told you to stay by the phone" was what I said when he picked up. "I'm sorry bro, I fell asleep," he replied. "So what's up? Any luck with the sedatives?" he asked. "Yeah, meet me at the armory in 2 minutes" I replied to him and hung up. I could have gone to his place to meet him but I did not want to be held up by his mother. The woman asks a lot of questions and it always gets on my nerves. The last time I went over to his place, that was the day after my mother was put in prison, Christopher's mother asked a bunch of questions that annoyed me to the point o
