Alec laid with his head on his crossed arms to prevent them from shaking.

The tears kept flowing out of his eyes. Sil petted him  and scratched his fingers thru his auburn curls. About three weeks ago he had shaved up the sides of his hair and now only had a blob of curls on top. It looked cool, at least that was what Ezra said.

It hurt...It was like he was run over by a truck, then pierced by knives and then tossed of a very tall building like twice or so.

It still hurted. It was weird. The pain felt physical but he knew it was mental.

Al those horrible memories that kept on flowing thru his mind over and over. Like a horrible movie you couldn't pauze.

Thousands of missing pieces flowing back into place.

That time he was pushed down a stairs and broke his wrist. It had taken a long 12 days to heal. Or his grandmothers flower garden in spring. And the smell of sunflowers in the morning. Or the time he was chased from school to home by bullies who where gonna beat him to pulp.

"Your okay." Sil kept talking to him and petting him. He didn't know if he had fallen down, he knew he had screamed, but he hardly remembered what. But by the looks of the people around him it wasn't any good things.

He even had begged Sil once to kill him. But Sil had just petted his hair and hugged him close. And reminded him of everyone that loved him. And every good thing that had happened the past two years. And of the good things his former life had. Like his mother. Or the memories of his grandfather teaching him to ride a bike. The delicious smell of peach cobbler when his mother and him visited his grandparents at their pack in the summers.

Slowly Alec recovered.

His wolf was silent. Letting him recover on his own.

But was still like a rock in the background holding him up.

He sighed deeply. Slowly getting up.

"That hurted a lot more than I thought." He whispered. His voice was raw from the screaming.

The man with the green eyes looked at him like his pain affected him also...

that man... his mate.. Jacob Allister. Alfa on the Ash creek pack.

He looked a little taller than last time. Older of course. But he also looked a lot less arrogant. He had bags under his eyes and Alec wasn't as afraid of him as he used to be.

He had bullied him for so long as he could remember. Him and his stupid little friends.

And now he had to go back to that place. He almost regretted making this deal.

But Sil had made them swear a blood oath. They couldn't hurt him. Besides he could fight back now. He was stronger. He had friends. People he loved. He wasn't alone in this world. He had a home to return to.

He was happy now.

He sighed. Sil had given him his spot at the table and kneeled beside him. He slowly rose up and gripped his shoulder with a soft smile.

"I can already tell you now, that after this two week thing I will return home!" He told Jacob. He almost wanted to give him the finger. Just because when he was younger he never had the guts to do that.

He couldn't believe he used to be scared of that prick.

That he let them make him unhappy. That he let hem have so much power over his life that they drove him to the edge, he should have left much sooner.

Should have never given him that kind of power!

"Will you tell Fraya I will come and see her as soon as I am back."

"I will."

"Oh and tell James en Kit not to fight while I am away. I will know if they did."

Sil smiled.

"Oh and Kit doesn't like to sleep alone, so tell James to for once not be a..."

"They will be alright. They will miss you of course, but they will manage." Sil interrupted him and patted his arm.

Alec nodded. He missed them already.

"I didn't even say bye."

He regretted not waking them up or nuzzling them before leaving.

"Perhaps they can come visit?" Sil gave the... mate a very dirty look, which almost made him laugh.

"Yeah... sure... your friends can come over." Alec looked up at him.

Jacob kinda looked like he would burn up in flames for some reason.

"When ever they want to!" He added right away.

Alec nodded slowly.

"Tell them not to worry. I know how they get." He slowly stood up. His legs felt a little weird still. He just wanted to shift back. Crawl into his den. Stuck his head in the pile of leaves Kit had collected and sleep for a year or four..

The elders tried to get a little attention but Sil and Alec pretended that they didn't exist. Jacob walked him to a big grey Jeep. His beta was sitting in it.

"I thought Max was your beta?" Alec remembered the jerk that always stood beside Jacob for as long as he could remember. A tall dark skinned boy that grinned like a sadist. Alec didn't miss him in the slightest!

"Max left the pack to be with his mate. Sam is my beta." Sam? Alec couldn't remember a Sam in Jacobs little friend group when they were little.

But then he could be new. He was probably a jerk anyway.

Sil had hugged him goodbye and Alec went and sit in the front seat next to the beta.

Leaving the stupid Alfa boy to sit in the back all by him self.

Beta smirked at that.

Alec sighed again.

"You look like we are going to your execution." Sam noted. He was a tall blond guy with dimples and he wore a grey shirt with paint remains on it. He was not dressed for a fancy meeting with the elders. Alec liked that.

"We are." Alec told him in confidence.

"Oh that sucks. You wanne go and stop for ice cream then?"

"He, whose side are you on?" Jacob growled.

"His." The beta smirked and stuck out his tong. Then smiled at Alec.

"Lets. I really need it."

"IceCream it is then!" He exclaimed happy.

Maybe this new beta was not so bad.

Sil had given him a black card that had a lot of money on it or something. So he could get whatever he needed. Ice cream... he really needed that.

It seemed to make things just the tiniest bit better.

"Maybe tommorrow we could get you some clothes? Since you don't have any stuff with ya?" The boy asked after a hour of perfect silence.

"Nop." Alec told him.

"You need more then one set of clothes though?" Jacob said slowly.

"Don't be crazy it's not like I shift a lot anyway."Alec rolled his eyes and leaned back.

"I hardly ever shift. Also I know your all a lot more human then wolf but I don't do that anymore." Alec told him. He crossed his arms.

He wasn't gonna pretend to be the old him. Old Alec died years ago.

New Alec liked being a wolf. He hunted. He slept in dens. He howled at the moon just because he could. He liked the way he was now.

"Your mother missed you." He just had to sting him somehow didn't he.

Guilt trip him into something perhaps.

Alec rolled his eyes.

"Don't even try, sugar. I wrote my mother letters. She knew where I was the whole time." Alec couldn't help but smile. Sil took all the bad memories away from him. But made sure he never forgot his mother.

Also his mother was very happy that he had left. Because she had been very scared to lose him. And she knew... she knew she would have lost him if he had stayed.

"Sugar?" Sam grinned.

Alec frowned.

"You wanne be called sugar to? Or sweety?" He informed with a smirk.

Sam laugh and shook his head.

"I knew I was gonna like you!" He said.

Jacob was very quiet the rest of the trip to the packhouse.

"I already made sure they prepared you a room. So you don't have to worry about any-.."

"Cant I sleep outside?" He asked a little startled.

"O-outside?" Jacob asked him.

Alec ignored him and looked at Sam.

"I prefer to sleep in a den." His old pack lived like humans. But Alec just didn't like sleeping in a bed anymore. A den was quit and comfortabel.

Especially when you had your own pack around to keep you warm and fuzzy.

"A... den?"

"Yeah.... like a hole in the ground. You know! Kit always stuffs them with leaves and blankets and stuff." He told him. Just thinking about his friends made him a little sad.

"He made you sleep in a hole?" His voice laced with venom.

Alec rolled his eyes. Of course he had to misunderstand and already get pissed.

"Sil gave me a big fancy room with showers and baths and the whole ... you know... but me and my pack prefer a nice small den in the woods. Close to the nymphs and a little lake where we can swim." He sighed deeply thinking about his home.

"But if your gonna be a baby about it I'll sleep in a stupid bed for these two weeks. A den won't be as good without my brothers anyway." He rolled his eyes and Sam grinned.

"This is gonna be so great!" He said smiling back at Jacob.

If only He had known...
