David's pov
Do you ever have felt like everything is a fairytale and suddenly it becomes your worst nightmare?
You think everything is sorted and perfect , you are enjoying your life taking some things as granted? But let me tell you that is where we are wrong.
Life is full of mystery, surprise and shocking events. Life may be sweet and beautiful sometimes but it can also be the cruelest bi**h. And from my personal experience I learnt one thing and that is life is another name of imperfection. You may feel it to perfect but it's gonna smack you on your face and you won't be able to retaliate.l learnt it hard way.
My life was perfect or so I thought until I lost Mary. I saw her lose life right in front of my eyes. She was my love , my life, my everything and I saw the light slipping away from her eyes right in front of me, and what did I do? Nothing, I was just standing there watching her soul pass away.
I felt pain worst than dying, my soul was ripped apart from me, my chest tighten I couldn't breathe, grid of losing her made my wolf numb, I couldn't feel him, this was worst nightmare of my life. And all because Mary wanted a baby, hell even i wanted one but not at the cost of my Mary's life.
If I had a slightest idea of this I would have denied it, I would rather be heirless than losing my Mary. But its true that she is no more and our child is the last closely related thing to her and I must cherish him and I have tried, but everytime I see those green eyes i am haunted by Mary's smile, how her eyes twinkled whenever she smiled, her sweet voice, how she had a habit of holding my forearms or my hands and tracing circles, how she blushed whenever i complimented her cooking. And everything else that now I cannot enjoy.
When I became Alpha , we had already marked and mated and accepted our responsibilities happily. Being a new Alpha and Luna kept us real busy and we hardly got to spend time with each other. I always thought that we have time, I have time to makeup my lost time with her in future but I never knew my future didn't have Mary.
All these memories are like daggers in my hert and everytime I saw those eyes of Alex I relive them. They remind me of how useless I am. Whether I became Alpha of most strongest and largest pack or the most feared Alpha I still feel empty inside.
Unconsciously I kept Alex away from me, I don't hate him but I can't ignore the fact that unknowingly it is but he was the reason why I lost my mate, my Mary.
I could never form a bond with him, I was harsh on him, it was unfair I know but this was my escape, I am blaming him and myself for this.
I always saw him from afar , he lives with my parents , other pups call him names , bully him sometime hurt him I instinctively want to help him but I stop myself, I may seem heartless and cruel but I am not embracing Mary's sole cause of death.
Today I was lost in my thoughts, my wolf is a bit restless today. It surprised me as he totally stopped talking to me after I disowned our own pup. He tried to reason me but I was numb of any sane thoughts. Only emotions I felt was hatred towards this newborn who are s my son.
It's strange though, Harris is a very prideful and stubborn wolf, all these years he didn't talked to me but always helped me in battle with his Instinct, afterall he was an Alpha and the pack is his responsibility, but he never was this responsive after the tragedy.
Hey Harris .... long time no see huh????

silence
What made your panty twist, dude!? I joked
.
.
. nothing
If you are not going to talk it's fine but don't mess in my head. I am frustrated of his attitude
I was near my office window overlooking the playground, some pups are playing. Then I saw him, he tried playing with others but they pushed him and ran away. I first wanted to go and help him but I remained still instead I scolded him. I didn't knew where it came from but I shouted at him.
He ran away and as I saw his figure disappear I let out a long sigh, I turned around only to find Jack my beta looking at me.
I know that look," you are a douche bag and I am disappointed in you" but I don't give a sh*t.
I get that look many times from my mother, Jack and many more but I am not going to change my mind. I took seat at my table and continued to do the paperwork. My mood turned gloomy and Jack knew better to not lecture me now.

I was in middle of my work when I received a mindlink from Eastern border patrol
Alpha, a pup is seen near border and he is running towards the human territories.
Who is this? How can he get close to border?
Alpha... he...he is Alex.
Great, this is where he went to . I felt a bit worried as that part of border is common for rouges sighting, I guess it's Alpha Instinct.
Stop him from crossing border and lookout for rouges, they are common in that area.
Yes Alpha.
They replied , I closed my mindlink. Harris is now more overbearing.
" Are you going to sit around here?"
Jack asked who must have got mindlink from patrol warriors. I didn't replied him
After sometime Ruth a warrior mindlinked me
Alpha, Alex did not crossed border but we smelled rouges and they are many...
she stopped midsentence, I know what was coming
Did you find any smell or traces of blood?
I asked
No Alpha
I felt a bit relieved
Follow their smell and kill the rouges, bring Alex to me
Saying that I cutoff our mindlink
"Are you serious here ?"
I looked at Jack who what seems to be angry at me
" Dude your child is out there and there is a chance that he may be facing rouges but you are calm like it's nothing? This is so not you, you are not my bestfriend who was so caring even towards a stranger"
"Shut up Jake, you know nothing"
" No dude you shut up and let me tell you I may not have met my mate yet or don't have any experience with kids but Alex is innocent, I know what you lost but you will lose more if you are going to keep up this attitude. You may not give a sh*t about Alex but I am going to him, to help him whether you like it or not"
saying this he stromed out of my office, slamming the doors in this process
I know I am doing wrong but I cannot show care to Alex, this would be so wrong towards Mary.

Jack's pov
He is truly unreasonable, he was a kind-hearted person but after losing Luna he became cruel, buff head. I mean how can he ignore his own flesh and blood not to mention his late wife's child also.
This all was running through my head as we approached the border where Alex was last seen.
"Beta Jack, you're here." warriors on border patrol greeted.
" how much time has passed after his sighting?" I asked Ruth, the patrol leader.
" few minutes beta, but we did not followed him outside of border" this is not good,
this area is prime for rouge sighting and they are ruthless, Alex being 5 only do not stand a chance against them. Oh! moon goddess please bless the child.
" okay Ruth and us will track Alex, rest should stay here and report any unusual activity" I ordered.
" we all will follow Alex smell, and keep your senses alert." I told my team.
We head towards the smell of Alex which seems to be getting stronger as we move out of boundary ,and alongwith it I can smell blood also. I hope this is not Alex's .
Because if so happens then David is going to go on a rampage, he may not show this but I know him more than himself. He may pretend in front of everyone as a tough and bad Alpha who don't spare even his son but I have seen him in his worst moments.
I have seen him crying to sleep every night, I have seen him breaking like a fargile glass. He may have became the strongest Alpha out there but he have lost his other half on way .
"Beta look..."
A warrior's sound bring back my attention to present and looked in his direction, we werewolves have enhanced senses so it was not hard for me to see things clearly even miles away .
I can see there are some bodies of rouges and by the smell I can tell it's just their blood, but the question is who killed them and I can clearly smell Alex here, he was definitely here.
" Wait, and move swiftly.... don't alert whoever may be there" I instructed them.
I am having bad feeling about this , and Alex lingering smell is not helping at all, please let him be safe.
As I thought there were some bodies of rouges ,dead and no sign of Alex. But the question is who killed them.
" Beta Jack we can smell Alex here and it's very fresh.... what should we do?" reported one of the worrior
" Follow it" I ordered, whoever killed the rouges is talented for sure but it can wait.
After some time while
