He was definitely underdressed. Everyone was wearing either fancy looking ropes or button ups, blazers and dark colored ties. Alec was the only one wearing an sweater, A babyblue one that said "rouge boy" in black letters on the back and a black jogging , no shoes. Because Sil could only do so much to convince him.

Alec did not care even the slightest about this. Even though everyone that was seated at the long dark oaken table kept looking at him.

Sil was seated somewhere in the middle and Alec stood behind him and tried to remain as still as possible. Which was hard because he was never really good at standing still.

And there was this guy who had not stopped looking at him from the moment they had arrived. He had dull brown short hair and dark green eyes. He smelled like a Alpha wolf but he was only a couple of years older than Alec so he didn't understand what the guy was doing at an elder meeting...

There were four elders. All old Alphas of the strongest local packs. So the room reeked of power and it made Alec even more nervous. Then there were Sil and him. The green eyed man, a Guy with a pointy nose, who looked really pissed of and kept glaring at everyone. And a couple of guard wolfs that were standing near the walls of the room. And of course a couple of representatives of the packs law enforcement and the official United Nations Council.

The UNC was for all supernatural creatures. They usually wouldn't bother with a small dispute between an warlock and some wolfs. Unless a small war was brewing. One of the council members that was present was a vampire. And pack law was just there because it was mandatory. The rest all belonged to the local affairs council that every area had.

They had started the meeting with a long list of bullshit that Alec didn't even pretend to listen to. Sil had not told him to pay attention so he didn't think it was necessary.

Until ofcourse they started talking about one of his wolfs.

"Law is the law and it is a crime to keep mates away from each other!" One of the grumpy elders noted. His face looked like he had never smiled a day in his life. Alec tensed up and put his hand on Sil shoulder in support. Something that did not go unnoticed by anyone in the room.

"Fraya came to me. She begged me to protect her from that pig that calls himself her mate. It is my believe a mate should protect and love its other half. Not beat them half to dead and force them to mark." Sils words were ice cold and his magic made the rooms temperature drop instantly.

"You talked her in to those things. I never did any of that!" The angry man yelled as he slammed his fist on the table. Before Sil or anyone else could speak Alec lost his cool.

"Oh really. Then I must have imagined all the cuts and bruises she had when we found her. Or the nightmares that wake her up screaming in the night. Or the fact that since you tried to come and take her back by force, she has been so terrified that she doesn't want the eat, sleep or go outside."

The man growled at him and Alec just glared right back at him. He would not let her go. If they tried he would kill him.

He had promised that he would protect her. And he would keep that promise!

"She is mine."

"No... after you tried to kill her you lost her. And she will remain with us for as long as she would like." Sil didn't sound angry. He was just as calm as always. And there was no doubt in his voice.

"What is your name?" One of the pack law people suddenly asked.

Alec frowned at him.

"Alec."

"Last name? What pack do you belong to?"

"don't have one." He answered both questions at once.

"His name is Alec Darren and he belongs to the Ash Creek pack." The man with the green eyes said.

Alec lifted his eyebrows.

"I do not. I am with Sil. Who the heck are you anyways?"

"I am-.."

"Alec. Do me a small favor and tell me what you know of your past." Sil interrupted the guy. Alec nodded a little confused.

"I came to you in need. I asked for my memories to be gone. So I don't remember anything from before two years ago." He shrugged.

"You... you don't know.... you don't know who I am!?" The man had paled and jumped from his seat. Alec felt a little uncomfortable so he gripped Sil shoulder tight and stood a little closer to him.

"Nop."

His wolf didn't like that man. He wanted to kill him for some reason.

Alec just kinda didn't want blood on this sweater.

"I am your mate!"

Alec laughed.

Funny joke.

The man looked at Sil with a fierce kind of anger that could make the world shake.

"This is your fault! You stole him from me!"

Alec really started to feel more and more nervous. Something heavy seems to have set in his stomach. What if all these people who were trying to take Fraya away also wanted to make him stay with that weirdo.

"He can't do this! You need to give them back! You can't just go around stealing mates just because your a mighty warlock." Sil raised an eyebrow.

"Sweetness, I can do whatever I want because I am a mighty warlock. And you can't do anything about it!" Sil smirked.

Some of the guards moved a little at those words. And everyone seemed a bit on edge.

"Can we go home?" Alec asked. He really didn't want to be here anymore. Sil grabbed his hand.

"Don't worry Alec, I would never let anyone take you against your will."

"If he knew who I was he would want to go with me." The man said.

Sil looked him dead in the eye.

"Oh really?!"

The guy knew he fucked up now.

Sil stood up and patted his head like he always did to make him feel better. Some wolfs growled. Alecs wolf wanted to do the same. But these wolfs where strange. They weren't like his wolf. These where the kind of wolfs that thought Fraya should be with a man that beat her. They were  dangerous.

And they were outnumbered by a lot....

"So you honestly think that if our sweet Alec should have his memories back that he would want to stay with you. That you somehow could convince him to stay?!"

Some people exchanged looks and the pack law people narrowed they're eyes.

That would never happen.

"I could convince him, yes. I could do better. I could show him how I have changed. I made horrible mistakes back then... and I regret everything. But I have changed! The pack has changed." Sil rolled his eyes.

Alec was really confused and shook his head. Who even was this guy?

"So if Alec would be willing to take his memory back and willing to stay with you for like a week or two, than you think that after those weeks he still would want to stay there?"

The man nodded completely convinced.

"I... yes!"

"I think that would be a reasonable offer." The pack law man said.

"He should just give the boy back." The elder said annoyed.

Alec gripped Sils rope tightly.

"There would be rules." Sil said completely ignoring the elder like he should.

"Alec would have to give his consent. And if he would chose to stay or return his wishes will be respected by everyone without question."

The man nodded also ignoring the nagging elders.

"You can't touch him or force him to do things he doesn't want to do. You cannot mark him. You will treat him with respect. And take good care of him. If i as much see a hair out of place I will destroy you and everyone in your pack." All the words were as calm as ever, but everyone tensed at those last one.

"I agree with these rules." The pack law said.

"We don't know the reasons the kids left. And this is a very reasonable agreement."

"Sil..." Sil turned around and grabbed his shoulders.

"You are so much stronger now. I think you are ready to take your memories back. After the two weeks you can always decide to erase them again. You can't delete your past. But it is in the past. You are a different person now. Strong, brave, loyal and kind. You should be very proud of yourself."

Alec looked down.

"I...I... if I go.... than after that I can just come back and no one will ever try and take one of us again than?" He asked the pack law man. The man looked kinda scary. He had a big scar over his face. Blond short trimmed hair and a little beard.

But he seemed alright compared to the rest of them.

"And you won't make Fraya go back. Cause she really is scared and I promised I would keep her save!"

"If the girl does not wish to return we will not make her. Same with you. And if you can do this, to proof your warlock didn't steal you like is claimed, all charges against him will be dropped." Alec nodded.

He could do this. For Sil. For Fraya. For his pack.

"We will make a blood oath to make sure not you nor your pack will harm Alec." Sil said.

"We would never!" The man said.

"Than the oath won't be a problem then."

He growled softly and looked away.

"You sure?" Alec nodded. He was. He could do this!

"It will hurt. It's eighteen years of memories and they aren't all so nice."

Alec took a deep breath and nodded.

"As ready as I can be."

"I love you." Sil said. Because he did. Not like a lover or a child or a brother but still like family.

And then he felt the magic and his wolf released all his memory at once.

Sil was right.

It hurt.

Edit: I added some stuff to this chapter like the UNC  to make my super natural world a little more... realistic.
