Ment to be mates (~First time rejected, Second time in love~)

Mark’s P.o.v.

What will you do if it’s happens to wake up after a horrible memory that hunts you every day and night? Well I can tell you that in my case I’m in the kitchen drinking coffee at 3 in the morning because of that memory that hunts me for 10 years. I can’t sleep anymore. Even if I want to. So I take my cup of coffee and go to the living room, open the TV and start to watch an old Disney movie. I’m to lazy to search for something on TV. I’m still trembling from that horrible memory. Those scenes appear every time when I close my eyes.. those terrifying moments...

After three goold old Disney movies that I enjoy a lot watching them, I saw that the clock on the wall show the hour six in the morning. So I decided to go in my room and get ready for a new day. I put on me a pair of black molded pants cuted on the knees, a black undershirt with a text in white ‚Geniuses don’t exist, only dreamers’ on it, a black and red open checkered shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, then I put on my left hand a thin black leather bracelet with a cross and a silver watch, and on the right hand a black leather bracelet with targets. Then I made my bag with everything I need today and after I finished with brushing my hair and teeths, I went to the kitchen and start making breackfast. Some scrubled-eggs, bacon and a cherry tomatos salad. After geting everything ready, I put the plates on the kitchen counter with three glasses full with apple juice and start the coffee machine because I want some more. After finishing making the breackfast for my little siblings, I went up stairs at the door next to mine and open it slowly.

„Shu, Jun. Come on sweety pies. It’s time to wake up.” I sayed after I enter their room and they slowly open their little eyes. After they saw me, they immediately jumped from their beds and run passing me and entered their sister’s bedroom. I followed them, stopping in the door way and watching my cute triplets doing their morning . Jun and Shu wake up their sister, each one kissing one of her cheeks making her like a sandwach. LingMyn wakes up smiling at the boys and takes both of them in her little arms to give them a morning hug. This scene makes me smile every morning. My little ones are too adorable for their own good.

LingMyn gets down from her bed, goes to her wardrobe and change her clothes as fast as she could, then went to her twin brothers and pushed them in the wardrobe and give them their clothes that they will wear today. „Hurry up and change yourself.” She told them starting to jump up and down, waiting to see how her brothers will look in what she chose for them. After the boys change and comed out from LingMyn’s wardrobe, she get’s up from the floor next to her wardrobe where she waited for them like it was an eternity, then all three of them come running to me and jump in my arms. „Good morning Mark, big brother!” they greeted me. I hugged them and kissed each of their foreheads, smiling that I can see them one more day being little kids. Soon they will grow up and they won’t be my little cute siblings. They will be mature wolfs and won’t need my help anylonger...

„Morning my sweet little sunshines. Lets go eat. Beta Wilton will come in three quarters of an hour to take you three to the pack’s school. So lets hurry up.” I told them and the children jumped quickly out of my arms and ran down stairs to the kitchen shouting happy “Food!“. They are such adorable beings. I follow them to the kitchen, take the three plates with scrubled-eggs, bacon and cherry tomatoes from the kitchen counter and put them on the table before I’m turned to the kitchen counter and pouring some coffee in a mug when I start to hear a strange noise coming from behind me. I turn to see where the noise comes from and guess who I discover? The triplets. They are having a little competition about who’s eating breakfast faster. I’m starting to giggle. This is our daily routine. I’m going to wake the boys, the boys go to wake up their sister, she gives them clothes to change in for that day, then I give them to eat and watch them amused how they fight between each other about who eats faster. This routine brings me a smile on my pale face every morning and I wish it won’t end too soon.

„I finished!” „It’s impossible! How did you eat that fast ?! You’re a girl! Girls are delicate and elegant!” the boys looked at their sister with wide-eyes. „What are you saying there losers? I couldn’t hear you from the delicious sound of victory. Ha! I’m more a man then you two at one place!” she start to laught victoriously, leaving me, Jun and Shu shock with our jaws dropped. I couldn’t imagine that LingMyn will ever say this until this day. The boys took their sister up on their sholders and started to congratulate her like she is a champion. God, I didn’t thought we were just boys in the house, haha. I thought we had a delicate little sister, but from what I see it is more like a boy than us three at one place at this subject. After all, she grown up between boys, so I shouldn’t be so surprised about this. At last she know to act as a girl too. She can act as what she want.

After laughting with my little triplets I wash the dishes, then go with them to the bathroom to help LingMyn make a ponytail while the boys were making their schoolbags and their sister bag. After 5 minutes we went downstairs, the children take their school bags and their food boxes that was prepared last night with some cookies, chocolate milk and some fructs that I cutted this morning when I woked up from my nightmare.

We went outside where we should meet with Beta Wilton and after we got out of the house I notice that he hasn’t appeared yet. That is strange... I decide to check the watch on my hand and I notice it is 06:45. Ups... Looks like we are done too early this time. „Children? Would you like to play for a while until Beta Wilton comes? It seems that this time we are much more matinally than usual.” They start jump happy that they could stay a little longer and they started to talk about a treasure hunt that they want to organize for their friend and the rest of their classmates. Jun started to plan the game with his sister while Shu was day-dreaming about the game.

I’m waiting with them and after a little time I started drawing some sketches for one of my part-time jobs. Yeah.. I don’t think you knew until now, but I’m working. I started to work at a young age because I didn’t want Alpha Dalton and Luna Merlya to worry so much about us. For other people, a kid who works more then a part-time job or two at the age of sixteen, almost seventeen years old is a wirdo. Not to mention that I start working at the age of seven to eight. I had to. Jun, Shu and LingMyn at that time were just babies and now they are just nine years old. In a few months they will be ten. And in that they there will be ten years seens our pack and family died and we were ‚adopted’ by the Wind pack. Now I think you’re wondering ‚Why do you work at this age when you could use what you parents left for you’. Well, I needed the money, so now I have 4 part-time jobs that I think will be my work places soon. Or at last one of them where I really finded people that don’t judge me by my past. How do you think I can take care of the three little ladybags and our home and our schooling? Even if our parents bank accounts and the rest of the packs money are left for our needs because we four are the only survivors, I want to keep that money for the kids for the moment when they will go to college to be their money. I don’t need them because I can make my own money by my hard work. From what I’m working now I earn very well. Better than I could have imagined. And I’m glad I can give them an easy life, without putting the worrys of the past on their backs. They don’t need to worry about anything. They don’t have to know what happened at that time.

„Big brother!!” I jumped a little when I heard my little sister’s voice and I see the three of them look seriously at me and I got curious why they were looking at me like that. What I did? „Yeah dear sister? What is it? What’s with these faces?” „Well, you were too lost in your thoughts. And we asked you what are you draw there.” Shu and Jun told me in unison like they always do. „Oh, forgive me my sweethearts.” I take them next to me and start to show them what I was drawing. „I’m drawing some sketches with animals in different styles.” I told them and LingMyn looked so fascinated at my papers. „Ooooh! They are so cute! I like the little squirrels! They look like cartoon characters!” „I like the big funny bear with a bee on his nose!” Jun started laughting an was folowed by his twin that showed me the drawing he liked „The seahorse!”

Suddenly we hear a roaring from the forest and a dark gray wolf comes out. I go quickly to him and with a piece of material I create a cover up. The gray wolf is mister Wilton. I made the cover so the children will not see him when he will shift. I guess you already know that when a werewolf is shifting he has no clothes on it, so he is complitly naked and I don’t want my younger siblings to see this until they’re trained. Or until their curiosity will grow and they will want to know about their genitals. I waited for mister Wilton to change in his clothes and when he told me he is ready I took the piece of material off and greeted him. „Thanks Mark. And I’m so sorry that I’m late.” He told me and I looked confused at him. „You don’t have to be sorry, mister Wilton. You arrived at the usual hour.”

For a moment the blond men looked confused at me then spoke „But I made you wait if you are already outside, didn’t I?” he look a little confused at me. „Actually... This time we were much more matinally than usual. So you have no reason to apologize, mister Wilt..” „Beta Wilton, beta Wilton! We want to make a treasure hunting for Cody, Lea and the rest of our classmates! Can you help us do it?” they come running and look at Beta Wilton with puppy eyes. Mister Wilton look at them and I could see how his pupils dilated because those three little angels. „Sure kids.” He told them and my little siblings start jump being happy that they will be heled with their game. „Come on now. Oliver is waiting a little far from here with our car.” I look at him confused and I couldn’t resist asking him „But if you came with your car, why were you in the wolf form?” and he start giggling, making me even more confused. „Oh, I didn’t come with the car, dear Mark. Oliver came with it. I came directly from the morning patrol. My son didn’t felt to well today, so he is coming from home with my car to take me and your siblings back to the pack.” Then he get closer to me and whisper. „I think he’s still a little sick after that trip at the lake when he jumped in the water from that cliff.” That make me laught because I was there when Oliver, the future beta, tryed to make the pack’s kids to laught by jumping from a cliff and do various scammers in the air until he was in the cold water. „Oh. I hope he’ll get better.” I told his father. What I could say when his son isn’t well? I can just wish him good luck to get well as soon as posible.

„Thank you, Mark. And have a good day at work and school. We’ll see again tonight.” he ruffled my hair. „Thank you.” then I take my siblings in my arms and kiss their foreheads. „Be good and do not upset mister Wilton, Luna Merlya, Alpha Dalton, nor your teacher.” and they gived me their pinky fingers „Promise!” Then mister Wilton put his hand on my shoulder „And I asked you not to call me “mister”, Mark. “Wilton” is enough. You don’t need to be that formal with me.” „I-I’m sorry. I promise I will not call you like that again.” And he ruffled my hair once more. I got embarrassed because he told me many years not to call him like that, but I always forget.

Wilton gives me a smile then he takes Jun and Shu on his shoulders and to LingMyn he gives a piggyback and goes with them to a black car parked a little further from my house. Before Oliver start the car mister Wilton says ‚goodbye’ to me and I look at them as they go to where the whole pack lives. After I was’t able to see the car, I went back to the house and take my things to go to high school.

Yep. I’m also going to high school and four jobs every day. I can’t do anything about it. I have to finish my high school after all. And at the same time I have to make money to support the children. Hah... The kids... I would really like to see what they do every day there. Even if they are telling me every night when I get home what they did, I want to be there with them. To cheer them up, to see them playing with other kids... Yeah, I can’t go in the pack’s territory. Why? Because of Alpha Dalton’s oldest son, Thomas Wilson.

When alpha Dalton found us, me and my siblings, Thomas felt something strange in me.. In my aura or soul and then he didn’t let me be a part of the Wind pack. The elders and the alpha couldn’t do anything about it. They have to respect the decision of the future alpha even if he was at a young age. I have nothing to comment at this point. As long as my brothers and sister can have a future without having to deal with the past of our family, I am happy, even if this meens I have to be a lonely werewolf or rogues. Anyway, not to lose more time than I already did. I have to get to high school quickly. I don’t want to be late or I’ll meet again with trouble in person.

Dalton’s P.o.v.

I’m serving with my wife some coffee at one of the tableta from the big terrace of the pack house and look after Wilton’s car to appear in the landscape. He went to take the younger siblings of Mark LeeYoung. Hah.. the SnowIce pack... I miss it... It was such a beautiful place. It look as if it was tooked out from a fantasy winter story. And also, it was one of the most strongest packs, like ours. Well.. Much stronger and it was one of the first packs in this part of the country.You can say that was one of the oldest packs around here.

I still can’t find out what or who could have killed the whole pack, except for these four kids. It counldn’t be posible to do such think by one person or just one pack. They were the most strongest warriors I ever saw in my life. Their trainings looked like pure torture, but actualy it wasn’t like that because their training wasn’t just fighting but also relaxation hours where the warriors meditated and were put at different tasks that were making them concentrate and train all their senses.

I won’t accept the idea that Mark could have killed the all pack members. When I found him he was just a child who was too scared to even move from the place I founded him with his little siblings in his arms. He bearly could talk without trembling and crying and holds his baby siblings close to him to be sure they won’t be hurt by anything. I won’t forget that awful day.. So many lives have been taken in such a barbaric way.

~ Fleshback ~

We arrived in the SnowIce territory. We received an hour ago an alarm signal that the pack from this part of the forest, with which we are allies, is attacked. Unfortunately, we’ve gotten here too late. Everything in front of our eyes is just ruins, fire almost everywhere and dead wolfs and humans. I can’t believe what is in front of my eyes. I think I could just faint right here, right now, but I have to act strong to coordinate my warriors. „One group go to the west aria, another one to the south one and one to the east to investigate. Another group to stay here and search. If you found any remaining members alive, let me know immediately.” Then every one went to search. Except for my beta who stayed next to me and looked as horrified as I look. „Wilton, you come with me in the center of the pack. We need to check there right now. Mabye they are still alive.” He nudded and we run to the SnowIce pack house.

After we were near the pack house we still saw just fire and dead bodys everywhere.. „Dalton... Do you think the alpha’s family survived? The northern area is looking horrible, but what is here... I have the impression that no one is alive..” „I know what are you saying, my friend... But until I check everything, I won’t believe for a second that the all pack is dead.” and with that we kept running to the pack house and after 5 minutes we got there. It’s barely standing up at how it burning. Even if the fire is not that big, it still burns.

We turn ourselves into our human forms, put on our clothes and start searching the house. Wilton went in a direction and I went in the opposit one, but it seems that I don’t have luck.. I can’t fing them. I tryed to smell their scent but nothing in this area... „Dalton! Come quickly to the training room!” Wilton yelled for me and I run to the area where Wilton shouted. When I get there I couldn’t believe what I have before my eyes. Alpha Shing with his wife, TinXion, their son with his mate and Shing’s brother with his wife are literly dismembered with their heads hanging from the ceiling.

„I can’t believe my eyes...” „This is a massacre! A cold-blooded massacre!” Wilton yelled and could see that he was not just horrified by the scene in front of our eyes, but also he barely could resist not to vomit. This gruesome image could turn your stomach up side down.

Suddenly we hear cryings. We begin to look in desperation in all directions to find the source of the cryings. Wilton was called by the warriors and went to them but I stayed to search form where the cryings are caming. This is a sign that there are some survivors from the pack. When I was ready to leave the room to see if the cryings were coming from an other area, something felt strange. Out of the blue I felt the floor weeker under my foot and I hear a voice trying to calm down the person who was crying. I start to touch the floor and find a hiden knob and open a secret door.

„Don’t harm them! I beg you don’t kill them! They’re just babies! If you want to kill someone else kill me but let the babies survive!” It was a child. The poor kid start crying along with the babies that he was holding in his arms. To be more precisely, in the hidden room under the floor was a boy about 7 years old, no more, protecting three babies wrapped in towels with a little blood on their faces. The boy, on the other hand, seemed very hurt and traumatized. He is coverd in blood, sweat and fear.

„Don’t be afraid little one. I won’t hurt you.” I told him trying to calm him down. He looked up at me and his eyes, even if they were full of fear, start shining with a little bit of hope. „A-Are you A-Alpha Dalton...?” His quastion supised me, but I had to give him an answer. „Yes. I’m Alpha Dalton, little one.”

He got out of the secret room, being careful not to drop the babies and run to me. „H-He killed them! He killed them all! He killed my mommy and daddy and the rest of may familly and pack! Alpha Shing’s put me and my new born siblings in that room telling me to be silent. But I heared their screams and an evil laught. I-I was so scared! The alpha also told me before he closed the door that after I won’t hear any noice to get out of there and go to your pack to tell you what happend and gi..” All of a sudden he interrupted the sentence, his eyes got wild open and didn’t move an inch. His face become much more pale and his eyes went to the back of his head. Before he could faint I catched him and the tiny babies and hold them in my arms. Fuck.. He saw the dismembered copses. Poor child..

„We should go back to the pack.. The warriors didn’t found any members alive..” Wilton comed in the room with a sad face. „I find this little boy with his new born baby brothers in this hiden room in the floor after you went to see if the groups found something.” His face got pale and suggested to take them as fast as we can back to our pack so best doctor i our pack to check them out. A warrior comed inside to ask me what we shoud do with the dead bodies. „We will let them here for now. Tomorrow morning we will come back with some doctors to see how they died. For now just secure the area.” then I look at Wilton „Call Jinx and tell him that he will have to call a psychiatrist. The boy saw the dismembered bodys and fainted from too much fear.” „Oh dear moon goddess.. I’m calling him right now!” and he run to our cars.

At the time Wilton calls the pack doctor, I took the boy in my arms, making sure the babies won’t faint from his and start walking out from the destroyed house. I told to some strong worriors to take from one of our cars some sterile bags and go in the trainging room and collect all the parts from alpha Shing’s family and put them in the cars so Jinx could see if something could be done or not. We will have to make at least an autopsy to every one from his pack and then to make a funeral for all of them. I’ll have to call all our allies to tell them what happend here... When I looked back at the boy in my arms I saw the most adorable thing ever. The babies looked at me and start giggling. They are so cute. Poor kids.. They won’t be able to know their parents.. I’ll have to ask the little boy who were his parents when he will wake up.

~ End of the Fleshback ~

„Hon? Are you okey?” I wake up from those memorys when my wife snaps her fingers in front of his face. I took her hand and gently kiss it, making her giggle. „Yes dear. I just thought of the day when we found Mark and the little ones.” and with that, her smile disappeared from her face. „Still thinking of who could have killed them all, darling?” She always knows what is in my mind, doesn’t she?

„Yes.. I just can’t take this thought out of my head, my dear..” Merlya smiled for me and put her warm hand on my cheek. „My dear Dalton, you are trying to solve this puzzle for ten long years. Nor you, nor Thoe, nor any other could thought who might be the crule beast who killed our dear friends. Please.. don’t over do it..” I took her beautiful face between my palms and kiss her sofl lips. I know she is worryed for me.. But I can’t go to the conclusion that... „Alpha Dalton! Luna Merlya!”

We turn our heads and saw the triplest running at us. We got up from our sits and both of us took the siblings in our arms. I took in my arms the boys, Jun and Shu, and my wife took in her arms the little girl, LingMyn. „Awww. I missed you three so much!” my wife hug the little girl, then told them „And how cute you are dressed! I could just eat you three at how adorable you are!” Merlya loves kids very much and I do too. They brings joy in each of our lives in so many ways.

„LingMyn dressed us! She is the genius.” The boys told us with smiles on their little faces. „Yeah, but big brother made those clothes!” LingMyn continued what her brothers were saying. Me and my wife could not stop ourselfs not to think about how talented is that boy. After a little, my beta, Wilton, joined us on the terrae. „Sorry for being so late. I had to let Oliver at home first, then to come here with the little once.” I put a hand on his shoulder and told him „You don’t have to be sorry, old friend. Hope that your son will get better until my son’s birthday. The first and last time he didn’t came to his birthday, Oliver was so mad on himself that he couldn’t make it in time.” Wilton sigh and look at the little kids playing with Merlya. „I know. He wanted home to rest. He sayed that he want to be there for Thomas’s birthday.”

„First his health. then my birthday. I won’t let my best friend getting any sicker then he is now.” We all turned our heads to the door that gets to the terrace and saw my son who I think just got back from his training. „Good morning Alpha Thomas” Wilton greeted my son, who saluted him as well before the triplets run to him. The three little bugs jumped in Thomas’s arms, smiling at him. Thomas returned the smile and say ‘Hi’ to the little ones, but suddenly we heared our little girl yelling „Cody, launch the bomb!” then I saw my daughter standing on a liana like Tarzan and took from Thomas’s arms the triplets.

„What do you ..” Thomas couldn’t think fast when he heared our youngest son, Cody. „L-Launch...!” and with that our little baby boy pour over his big brother melted jelly and chocolate syrup, making Thomas a sweet mess who is trying now to get out of his hair the melted jelly and the chocolate syrup, yelling after his siblings. Cody run to his brother with some towels and water to help him clean up. „Please don’t be mad at me! Lea put me to do it!” he told his older brother almost crying from guilt.

„Traitor!” Lea yelled from behind her twin. „Lea! It’s not nice to force your twin brother to help you at this kind of jokes! Apologize to Thomas in this moment.” I scolded my daughter. She went to his big brother with a bunch of towels and no smile on her face. Pff.. those kids. They have so many crazy ideas. And some funny ones. „Forgive me big brother...” She sayed sorry to Thomas who started to think about it, then he takes her in his arms messing her clouths and hair with melted jelly and chocolate syrup.

„Haha! Well, I forgive you little punk.” He kissed her forehead making her smile wide. „Hehe! Now we are the sweetest in the pack! Okay, actually the second. The first place at ‚The sweetest in the pack’ is taken by Cody and Shu.” But in the next second our little Cody told her sister that he is not. He always think that he is not cute, but he is just shy. Cody was the shyest of our kids. Some times Merlya thought that some one at school was bullying our son, but everyone is playing with him and like him. So is just his personality.

Jun take Cody and his twin brother in his arms, hugging them while LingMyn takes some photos with her little camera. „How cute you boys are!!” she says and took some more photos. Lea go to her jumping up and down „Let me see them!!! Let me see them!!” then the boys run after the girls asking them to delete the photos.

Merlya’s P.o.v.

What sweet children are they. I would like them to stay always so small and innocent... But it can’t be like that. They have to became mature, to find their mate and love of their lives and make their own families. That’s the life cycle. And I will really love to have soon some grandchildren and they will come at thier time. First I want to make sure that Thomas will not make a huge mistake because I think I know who his mate will be.

But now my dear Dalton worries me. He has too much on his head and shoulders. He is still trying to find out who killed the SnowIce pack and he’s trying to convince Thomas to let Mark be a member in our pack. Not to mention that my husband and me are still looking for our other mate. Ever since we discovered that we are mates and we got married, both of us felt like something was missing. That we aren’t complete and that moment made us know that we have an other mate that mabye is in an other pack or is human.

Pff, and Dalton likes Mark, like I do too, and we try to bring him close to our pack, but we can not question Thomas’s instincts. I still remember when Dalton and Wilton came back home ten years ago with Mark and his siblings... For me as a parent with kids was such a horrifying scene. To see four little kids full of blood of which three of them were new born babies and the other one had to stay connected to various medical devices for half a year with therapeutic sessions with the best psychiatrist of our pack.

~ Flashback ~

I expect my dear husband to come home from checking out one of our allied packs. I’m in the living room of the pack house with my children. Thomas which have eight years old and Cody with Lea who are two years old. Thomas is watching with me some Mickey Mouse movies and the little twins are drawing on the table nex to the sofa where me and my oldest son are staying. But out of the blue Lea got up and start yelling at her twin „Hey! That’s my red pencil!” and Cody got pale. „I-I ​​know.. I just want to put a bit more color on the strawberry...” „But is mine!!” she countinue to yell at him.

I got up and went to them, taking my daughter in my arms. „ Lea, don’t yell at your brother. You know too well that Cody doesn’t take your things and then don’t give them back to you.” „ I know! But he didn’t even ask for me!” and then Cody come next to me and gived Lea’s red pencil back. „Sorry... You can use my colors as you want to, sister. I didn’t mean to upset you..” Lea look at her pencil then at her brother. She put the pencil on the table and got her twin in a big hug, saying that she forgives him.

It is such a cute moment, so I went to get a video camera when I heard the door opened suddenly. I went to the hall of the front door to see if my husband comed back and in the next moment I saw Dalton he ran past me with something in his arms. „Dalton!” He didn’t stop and got out of the house on the back door. Two seconds later Wilton got in the house. „Wilton! What is going on?” I asked him because I really want some answers. „I’ll explain to you in a bit, Luna Merlya. In this moment we have to hurry to the pack’s doctor!” and with that Wilton runs after Dalton with three babies in his arms.

Wait.. Babies?! What the hell happend there?! I have to go after them! Wait! I can’t let the kids alone here! „Thomas, Lea, Cody! Dears, let’s go. We have to go to mister Jinx’s office to see what happened with your dad and Wilton.” The kids comed at me and we went to the pack’s hospital. When we walk into the office and didn’t find them there, but I heared their voices from a salon that was next door. I went with my kids there and observe a little boy about 7 years old in a hospital bed with a oxygen mask on his little pale face and next to his bed an incubator with an adorable pair of triplets.

„Oh my God! What happens here?!! I-I mean what happened there?!” The nurse that was there took Thomas, Cody and Lea from me and told me that she will go with them in the hospital’s kitchen to give them some juice so they won’t see the little boy. Then Dalton comed and took me in his arms. „My dear, calm down. Everything will be fine. But unfortunately..” he made a pause before continuing what he wanted to tell me. „Shing and his whole pack... They all were killed. Only this boy with his siblings survived...”

Oh. My. Lord! Tears are now flowing on my face and I can’t stop them. „H-How..” „Shh... Don’t cry my dear Merlya..” He try to wipe away the tears on my face. „We’ll take care of them. We can’t abandon them. The babies will certainly not be able to survive without their older bro..” „Not even him won’t manage to survive on his own.” Jinx, the pack’s best docter and the head-master of the hospital, interrupted my husband and that makes me even more worried. „ What do you mean?” Jinx was looking on some papers when Lea run in the room. „Mommy! I wanna go home! ‚Secrets at Zoo’ is about to start!” Jinx wanted to tell us what the little boy from the SnowIce pack had, but he couldn’t do it in front of Lea. „Kids, don’t you want to go to Oliver so you all could watch together the animals?” Wilton asked the kids and they took Wilton’s by his hands and run with him out off the room.

„Now can you tell us what this boy has?” I asked Jinx. I really want to know! „After his eyes, hair and skin surely he has albinism. Even though this is not the most serious problem this boy has.” What?! Not the serious problem?! Oh my dear Moon Goddess! Please! I beg you! Please don’t tell us that this poor sweet child is dying! „He has a broken leg and some broken ribs. Not to mention that he have a very weak heart. It doesn’t pump enough blood to support his body.” Oh, the poor little boy... „He also has anemia, vitamin deficiency, and...” What?! He still has more bad news?! Jinx look at the two of us with sadness, then looks worried at the boy. „And he has a disease called “The Blood Poisened Flower”

A what? „What kind of illness is this? I haven’t heard of it.” My husband asked. He look as curious as I am. „When I was last time at SnowIce pack, Alpha Shing showed me a book with some diseases that have appeared in his pack over the years. He even gave me a copy of the book after he saw how fascinated I was about it.” Jinx went to his office and comed back with a very big book from his bookcase. „This disease can kill the boy.” He opens the book to the chapter of this disease, not even let us take in what he just told us. „But at the same time it can help him to find his mate and it can show his emotions if he don’t want to tell to someone beloved to him. The illness is helping the loved once to know what is wrong with the person that has it.”

My husband and I listen fascinated to Jinx, but at the same time we are worried and kind of terrified for what we hear. This poor little boy can die any second, minute, hour, day, month or year! I can’t believe my ears! „The disease forces his body to creat different types of flowers. Each type of flower has a meaning. They may mean death, sadness, love, anxiety, happyness, finding his mate, ect. Each of them have a diferent form and color. Those flowers with bad meaning or that person have other diseases or he/she will find their mate are removed from the body in a painful way along with a large amount of blood. The ones that means emotions appear on the skin and can be removed easily and without hurting that person by leaving that part of the body in warm water until the flower get out alone.”

I got even more curious and asked Jinx without thinking that I can get an other bad news. „Um... How exactly are they removed from the body when is about a bad feeling and the others that aren’t related with emotions..?” „By vomiting them, but they will start with a suffocation crisis or more precisely hyperventilation.” I just can’t.. I just can’t! I can’t hear anymore of this! How can such a cute little boy suffer from so many illnesses?!

Dalton saw that I was tensed with all the informations we just heared from doctor Jinx, so he hug me from behind and kissed the back of my head to calm me down. Jinx put his hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down. „He’ll have to take pills or his life will be in danger, right?” He sigh and put his hand on the boy’s head, gently stroking his hair. „Yes..” Hope we will be able to give him a long life and he won’t die too soon. Neither me or Dalton won’t forgive our selfs if he will die and the three babies will be the last of their pack.. „When he wakes up, docter Hilson will see if his mental state is good or bad after the shocks he’s been through. More exactly, what this little sweetheart saw there, alpha Dalton? I would like to know what me and docter Hilson to expect from this little guy.”

Dalton started to tense, but told doctor Jinx something that not even I wanted to hear. „All of Shing’s family and his brother’s family with their bodys dismembered and their heads hanging from the ceiling.” At this point I just have to think ‚Stay strong Merlya! Stay strong! Don’t faint on your husband!′ and yeah.. I took Dalton’s hand in mine to calm myself down. „So the worse it is.. I didn’t thought it will be that bad...” Jinx took three chairs so all of us could sit. I think he was about to faint from the shock as I was. So after we sat I decided to broke the silence. „Well... The babies are they okay?” I tryed to change the subject before I could vomit from the simple thought of how horrible those scenes the little boy and my husband have seen might look like.

„Oh! The triplets are fine. Nothing wrong with them. Soon they will be feeded with powdered milk containing the necessary vitamins that maternal milk has. It seems that they were just born today and so soon lefted without parents.” I could see the sadness in Jinx eyes. He doesn’t like when kids are felt alone, without their parents in their life to take care of them and give them love and support. „Thanks Jinx. I couldn’t imagine what might have happened to them if I couldn’t find you here at this time.” My husband ruffled Jinx’s hair, making the doctor to smile. „It’s just my job after all. And I love it immensely as tricky and tiring as it is. But I have an other question.” He look at my husband with a serious expression. „You know how their parent are?”

With that I was puted on thoughts. And I think my husband had this question on his mind since he found those kids. „No.. He fainted when he was talking with me. He was so scared and he was shaking very bad. I couldn’t have asked him this when I saw him so traumatized.” Jink nodded his head and noted something on some papers. „Okey. So an other subject to try to ask him when he wakes up.” While my husband and Jinx are still discussing, I’m went to see what the kids were doing. I could’t stay there anymore. I know what I have to do. Prepare a room for them for when they will be allowed to get out of the hospital.

After five minutes I got to pack’s house, in the living room and saw the twins and little Oliver sleeping over Wilton who gave up tired on the couch after 4 days of sleeplessness. So I decided to go in the kitchen to cook something for the warriors, Wilton and my dear husband to regain all their powers. Our chef, who mostly cook when we have events, is sick in bed, so I can’t ask him to make some food. And also, I still have two healthy hands. I can cook for a whole army if I want to!

After a short time, Dalton appears behind me, putting his arms around my waist and kiss my neck. „We’re gonna adopt them, right hon?” I asked my husband. „Normally, my dear. We can’t abandon them. I promised Shing that if the pack dies and there are survives we’ll take them to the pack. That goes also for the other allied packs.” I smiled and kissed my dear husband when suddenly we heard Thomas behind us. „I don’t accept that boy!”

„Why not son?” my husband asked our oldest child. „Thomas, don’t be mean. His just a child like you and your siblings. And now he has no home, no pack and no family. We can’t kick him and his siblings and let them become rogues.” I tryed to make Thomas understand why we need to keep the kids Daldon saved from SnowIce ruins. „He smells like danger! I don’t accept this to hurt my family and pack!”

~ End FlashBack ~

Hah... I should visit Mark again.. I miss him so much. It’s such a good kid. It’s a shame that Thomas doesn’t let him to be part of the pack. I’m sure he would have understood if he gived a chance to know him better. „My dear. Wake up from the dream world.” Dalton smiled at me and start to giggle. „We have to go prepare the party.” Ah! I almost forgot about this! Stupid Merlya! „Yes, yes! Sorry my love. I was thinking about the kids.” He kissed my lips and we went inside to prepare the party that we will hold in two days. We still have a lot to do if we want to give Thomas the best party ever. I won’t accept any mistake! It has to be perfect for my baby boy!

Author’s P.o.v.

The rest of the day went quietly. Mark, after he finished school, went to work. First at the bookstore where he work for two hour per day, then at a kindergarten where he reads stories for the kids for an other two hours. After that he goes to a flower shop where he works for a hour just to help miss Clark’s sister. Today was the last day of helping her. He just took the place of an employee who gived birth and had to stay home to take care of her child. And at last he went to his final job at a tattoo salon where he stayed until it was the closing hour.

On the other hand, Thomas, after inviting the allied packs to his birthday party with his father, he went to Oliver to see how his best friend felt. LingMyn along with Lea and Merlya, made sweets for lunch and Cody, Shu and Jun stayed with doctor Jinx as his little helpers after the kids had a treasure hunt at school. After lunch, Dalton, Merlya and Wilton, along with the rest of the pack’s adults, start arranging the house for the eighteen year old alpha, while Thomas and Oliver along with the children enjoyed themselves playing video games.

They had so much fun that the triplets didn’t even realize it was time to go home. Wilton picked up Mark’s siblings and put them in the car while the kids were saying their goodbyes to Lea, Cody, Luna Merlya and Alpha Dalton. Thomas also comed to say goodbye to the kids, then went back to the house to spend the night with Oliver. Wilton starts the car and leaves with the children to their and Mark’s house. When they arrived, Wilton saw that there was no light inside, which meant that Mark still didn’t get home. He takes the backup key from under the door press, open the door, letting the children in and he puts back the key. He also comes into the house, makes them something to eat and after that he went to put the kids in bed. After the triplets fall asleep, Wilton goes to the living room and sit on the couch waiting for Mark to get home.

A couple of hours later, the door of the house opened, meaning Mark arrived home. Mark walks into the house without knowing that Wilton was there. He leaves the schoolbag near the ladder and at that moment Wilton greeted him. „Hi Mark. You got home very late. It’s already the middle of the night.” Mark got scared, but after he saw that it was just Wilton, he calmed down. „Beta Wilton!! I didn’t know you were still here! I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to worry you. Sorry you had to wait so long here alone after me..

Wilton could tell that something was off. Mark looked pale. Much paler then usual. „Mark? You are fine?” The he takes off his jacket’s hood and sees his bruised face. „Holy Lord! What happened?!” Mark told Wilton about the bullies and that they bitted him, but the school nurse saved him. „Off Mark.. Do you want me to call Jinx to consult you? He’s still awake at this time.” „No, thanks. I don’t want to bother him. I will be fine. A little rest and some skin base makeup will cover everything.” the boy smiled at the beta, not wanting to make him worry to much about him. „Now you’re exactly like your sister and my wife.” he start laughting. He missed his wife, but he couldn’t do anything to bring her back. He know that she is watching from heaven over him and their son.

„Well, it’s pretty late. You should go back home and rest.” Mark told Wilton. It was really late, but even if Wilton wanted to stay to make sure Mark was alright, he ruffled mark’s hair and smiled. „Yes. Then we will see tomorrow, Mark. Take care of yourself and remember that we are here for you whenever you need.” „Thank you very much. But starting with tomorrow I’ll stay home until Alpha Thomas’s party is over.” Wilton strokes his head, then leaves the house and went back to the pack.

Mark takes his school bag in his room, changes his school clothes and takes his pajamas, and as he got dressed, he goes to see the triplets. He goes first at LingMyn who sleeps like an angle, then at Jun and Shu who were kicking each other in their sleep. Mark chuckles and went back to his room, getting in his bed.
