"Grandpa!" he whined. "Why do we have to drive there?! It would be faster if we just ran!"

"Patience, Shiro," his grandfather chuckled. "We wouldn't be able to carry all that's in this truck if we simply ran all the way here."

"I could!" He puffed up his chest.

"Now, now, Shiro," the man patted his knee. "It's not wise to have that great of pride."

"I thought you said that it was good to have pride?"

"Not when it blinds you from the reality," he told him. "That's where humility comes in. It balances pride. If you can master the art of pride and humility, then you will be a great leader."

"You say that about every lesson."

"It's all true, Shiro," his grandfather laughed again. It was great seeing him laugh. He had the happiness that spread to everyone else. "These are lessons that I had to learn to be a good leader."

They turned the bend of the dirt path, dark trees all around them. Many people in the city feared them because of how dark they were and how eerie the forest was. But he c

    "Kill them all," Shiro had ordered. "For they have attacked our innocent. And for that, they will pay."He wasn't going to back down from orders like that."Miki," he looked over to her. "Get Tammy to safety. Guard her."Miki just nodded and ran off. Jin stood next to him, awaiting orders. With Shiro gone, it was up to him to take command. He wasn't scared. He had trained all his life for this moment. That and enemies could always smell fear."We need to split up," he told the gamma. "Go to the community center. Tell me if you see anything suspicious there.""Yes, sir," Jin said before running off. They were in the city, which meant that they couldn't be in their wolf forms. That would make them stick out like sore thumbs. But these hunters had picked the perfect time to try this. Night time was the Reverence Pack's strong point. And the shadows were always on their side."Where are they going?" Alex asked. He had caught up with them around the same time that Jett had left with Shiro.

    "Eenie, Meenie," Alex pointed at the hunters that had all been disarmed. "Miney, Moe. Catch an asshole by his toe.""Let us go, you demon!""If he hollers," Alex gave them a devilish smirk. "Hear the blow." He pointed the gun at the man and shot. It went straight through his head. "Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe."Oh, they all looked so terrified. He almost felt bad for them. He would have, at least a little, if he didn't see them shooting at all the people he had known his whole life. Now, they got a taste of their own medicine."Alex!" Luke called for him again. "I kinda need your help over here!"He shot the rest of the hunters in both the head and the heart and ran over there. The other Valor warriors were fighting at the city's exits at the moment. Some of them were trying to escape. And that was just something that he couldn't let happen. Because, if any of them escape, that meant that they would come back.Like the idiots they were."You know, Luke," Alex helped him swing a hunter t

    "How do you know him again?" he asked his father. He really didn't want to be that far from Shiro at the moment, but he also needed answers. They were just a few rooms away from the infirmary."He came with Elder Munni when he was giving us medical supplies," his father said. "It was when that wave of vampires had come through years ago. He didn't want to bring him in case there were anymore in our territory, but the boy insisted."Jett vaguely remembered that. He was pretty young, but he remembered still wanting to try and fight them with all the other warriors. His father had to tell him no at least a hundred times. He also threatened to chain him down to his bed if he kept asking."Where was I?" Jett frowned. If Shiro had visited their house, he was surprised he didn't see him at all. He was forced to stay in the pack house the whole time they were fighting."Probably sleeping," his father said. "Now, why are you so curious about him?""Isn't everyone curious about him?" Jett asked

    He trusted him. He didn't know why, but he did. Just because the man was his mate didn't mean that he should trust him with his warriors. There were a rare few that he would allow to take over in case something happened. Geo was one of them. He had trained hard with both him and Hiroko so that he could be just as ready for battle as they were. While Jin was great at silent attacks, Geo was the best at strategizing and finding the high ground. Miki was their defense, and usually took lead with the warriors that defended.He hoped none of them got hurt. He knew what he would tell them all if he had stayed in the battle. But he wasn't there. He was in this infirmary recovering from bullets that he had failed to dodge. All he could do was hope that Geo did well in taking command.It wouldn't be the first time. They had plenty of enemies that had tried to come onto their land. Sometimes Shiro would be stuck on the other side of the territory, and would leave the leading to Geo. When he had

    He hated everything. He hated life. He hated his room. He hated this car, even though it was brand new. He hated how the damn night was mocking him with how clear it was. It was the best time for a party, yet he couldn't enjoy it. Instead, he had to fake being happy at the party that his family had for him just so he could get through the day."Miki," Geo called for his friend. "Please tell me you're up for some practice. I need to beat someone up.""Like hell you'd be able to beat me up," she teased. "But this late at night? Aren't you going to be trying to stay in your room and hide out as soon as it hits midnight?"He was planning on doing that. And it was already 11pm. But there was no way he could be at the packhouse right then. Not with him still there."It's just going to be the community center, and then back home," he told her. "Please, Miki? For my birthday?""Alright," she said. "But you better tell me what the hell pissed you off this close to your birthday. I need to know

    "Be careful, Hound Dog. This puppy could have you on a leash faster than you could say 'Whoof'."He wanted to say 'woof' at that moment. His buzz was kicking in as he teased the beta. Now that he thought about it, and had sobered up some, the guy really did look like he had been pissed off beyond belief. But his drunk brain was too occupied with how fun it was to tease him rather than anything else that his senses could pick up. He was always fun to tease.And now, he was a tease.Alex walked into the empty bar. It was dawn now and they were closed for the night. He had been walking around to try and calm himself down the rest of the night, so he didn't try and chase after him.That scent was absolutely maddening when he smelt it. He was wondering why Geo had been running from him. At first, he thought that he actually did take it too far. But once he caught onto his scent, he knew it was more than that. Geo was smart, that was for sure. He caught onto it before even Alex. Sure, he en

    He didn't want to have to do this. He wanted to finally relax and get some sleep now that all the chaos that was the past two weeks were over with. He had been so worried about Shiro and his wounds from those hunters that he hadn't been getting that much sleep. Surprisingly the man actually started answering his phone to him, though. They had a bunch of late-night conversations the past few days. It was calming just to hear his tired voice over the phone, even when he knew that they should both be sleeping.It seemed like night time was best to call him. He kept himself busy throughout the day. Jett didn't like that he had still decided to work after getting those wounds. Dr. Bailey said that he needed to stay in bed for at least two days. Jett was half tempted to go over to that pack house of his and force him to stay down. But he knew he couldn't.Which brought him back to the present. Where he was somehow supposed to convince two other Alphas to do an investigation on the pack that

    "Stay focused," Shiro told Geo. They had all decided to do some training today so that they could stay in shape."Are you sure you're okay to train, Shiro?" Geo asked. His face showed a hint of worry. "You did just get shot by a silver bullet last week.""I was going to say that myself," Hiroko spoke up in their mind link."It is healed," Shiro assured them. "Every warrior needs to train regularly if they want to maintain their strength. Even an Alpha."They spoke through their mind link, but they were not in their wolf forms, or in any potential danger. This was how they talked when they were training. That was how they maintained stealth. Through being able to talk through the mind, they are able to know where their enemies are and kill them silently. They might have been the smallest wolves out of the ones in BlackCreek, but they knew how to use their weaknesses to their advantage.They were also using the mind link because of a location change. Shiro had decided to bring them to t

    "Why is it so cold in here?" Shiro shivered, sinking into the covers more."Because that's the only way that you'll let me hold you," Jett chuckled, pulling him closer. They had been practically living in that bed the whole week. Shiro wasn't used to laying around all day. It made him restless, which made him not being able to leave the apartment all the more frustrating.Jett did keep good company, though. He always seemed to know when something was wrong, or when he was upset. They had talked a lot that week they had been together. It was mainly about things like their past and their family and friends."I'm too used to having a whole bed to myself," Shiro huffed, giving in to the man who was holding him tightly. "I like to sprawl.""Then sprawl on me," Jett pet his hair. He loved when he did it. It was a relaxing feeling. "I don't mind.""It's not the same," he complained grumpily."You're really cute when you act grumpy like this," Jett laughed."No, I'm not," he frowned. He hated

    Sleeping was so nice. He never had to deal with his father yelling at him when he was asleep, or all the worries that he had about Shiro as well as the rest of the pack problems. He didn't have to deal with hiding himself from everyone. He could simply be himself in the black pitch void that was his slumber. Sometime, when he was angry and couldn't find a way to get it to go away, he'd just sleep. Was he really getting rid of the problem? No. It would still be in the back of his head. But that was how life was. That was how his life was at least. Sleeping was just a better alternative to punching someone in the face.Having a completely soundproof room, with curtains that could block out the sun as well as the heat, he could sleep for days in that room of his. It was his cave and his safe place. And he needed it the most right then.How on earth did Shiro contain the symptoms of the curse? He was only half way through the month and it was already eating him up. He supposed it was karm

    He woke up calmly. It didn't feel like he needed to do anything. He was merely hungry. That was always a good reason to wake up. But his body didn't want to get up. It wanted to stay in the comfort of the bed he was in. If it weren't for his stomach screaming at him, he may have laid their a little longer. He enjoyed the snug feeling that it gave him. It was as if he had gotten tucked in. Hiroko used to do that for a while, after his grandfather passed away. The small action helped sooth him in many ways.When he finally opened his eyes, he slowly began to take in his surroundings. He was in Hiroko's apartment. The one that she had always used whenever her cycle for the curse came. She had prepared it for him before her departure. She would help with the Luna duties until the day before Shiro was supposed to come back, as she had another trip that father wished for her to go on. But her apartment was stocked with everything that one would need when they underwent something like this.

    He couldn't believe this. Jett hadn't even known that this was a way in which you could bypass this stupid curse. It raised more questions on top of the ones thjey already had. How many people did this? How did they figure this out? Why on earth was this pack trying to bypass this curse?Well, historically, every pack had tried to find a workaround to it when they first got it. They had worked with witches, demons, just about every magical being. Nothing worked. If anything, it made things worse for a while. This trick must have been something that only the Reverence Pack figured out. But he couldn't imagine mates letting the other go through so much pain alone. Just the thought of it made him hurt."Don't do anything stupid, Jett," Alex told him. "This could be life threatening.""I'm aware," he told his second. Alex always got worried about him when he got in this mood. "I just need to find him.""You want me to try and get the warriors to help?""No," Jett parked the car on the sid

    "And you guys didn't find anything?" Alex asked over the phone. He was talking to the member of the Dynamic pack that had been assigned this case."They had all but disappeared the past three days," he said. "And the night that you were talking about was so dark, we couldn't catch a whiff of anything."Alex sighed. For the past four days they had been doing nothing but trying to find clues about what was going on in that pack. The first day of Summer had come and gone as if nothing was happening. But there had to be something going on.Because why would they all have disappeared from the city? Why would Shiro's ceremony get canceled? And the fact that Geo wasn't texting him as much was only putting him more on edge about the situation. He didn't like this one bit.And here he thought that he would only have to wait two weeks. Alex huffed a laugh. He was never lucky when it came to a mate, he shouldn't have been surprised. It just hurt that Geo wasn't even talking to him. And he was on

    He was on cloud nine. Even with all the work that he did in his office, the kind that would bore him to tears but always needed to get done anyway, he could close his eyes and still be right back in that part of the forest.That laughter. It was addicting. He had never heard something so purely joyful in his entire life. The man was amazing like that. It had taken him a little to get the real him out of the serious man that he had been, but once he did, he could tell why so many people still remembered him to this day. Even the way that he talked changed. Instead of always being respectful, or speaking like he was a royal prince, he talked like he was actually from this time and not the 1800s or something.He also couldn't get over how easily he disappeared in that fog. He could hide in it and Jett wouldn't have a clue as to where he was. Then he would spring out of thin air and pounce on him. He had no clue just how happy the man could be just by doing that. It was as if Jett had bro

    He was still living in that moment. The one where they played in the woods and laughed until their stomachs hurt. He didn't even know what they were laughing about, but it made him happy every time he thought back to it. He couldn't even be annoyed with how much extra work he had been given or the fact that he still had not heard from his father about important matters. None of that seemed to matter to him as much at the moment.The rest of his pack seemed to notice his smile and relaxed demeanor. When they asked him about it, he merely told them that he was given a day of rest in which he could meditate. They believed him, for they hadn't gone a day without seeing him working on something. He made sure that Geo had his rest, as well as all of his council members. Jin was the one who worked quite a lot. It was difficult getting him to rest. But Shiro knew that he had a reason. He had to help his father and battle his own issues that he was going through. Sometimes, work helps with tha

    He didn't think he was cut out for all the mate stuff. It felt amazing having his touch lull him to sleep, and what had happened the night before will be etched into his mind forever. He was sure that his mind would use it as ammo whenever it tried to rebel against him again. His scent was lovely, and soothed him to the very core. It was an earthy smell that reminded him of times when he would roll in the dirt when he had first transformed into a wolf. He always seemed to bring out that part of him: the child that he had pushed down a long time ago.+But now he didn't think he was cut out for this because of one thing:He was stuck.Why did the Valor Pack have to be the strongest? Why did those strong arms have to hold onto him so tightly? He was thinking about trying to be polite and making him something to eat for when he woke up, but that didn't seem to really work out. Every time he moved in the slightest, those heavenly arms would pull him closer. He was glad that he could heal s

This has to be in person.Shiro: Where do you want to meet?Jett: How about that shed of yours right by my territory lines? Is that safe enough?He impatiently waited for a reply. Dr. Bailey had told him to get some sleep to get his wounds to heal faster, but he just couldn't. He was restless as his soul threatened to pull him all the way to that man. He needed some answers. But, more importantly, he needed to see him. Because the last time he saw him was when he had those cold eyes. The ones that he had when he was looking at him as if he was an enemy, rather than a mate. That wasn't the real Shiro. And Jett needed to finally see him with that mask of his off.Shiro: That's safe. No one typically goes near that one unless it's for purposes such as when we went to your territory to help with the hunters. I have some chores to do, but I'll meet you there.Jett: Chores?
