17 17. It was just the start.

It's Friday, last week day of school, Ruth and Dale were walking to school, discussing a plan for the weekend. Dale can't skip training again, he has to attend, John will never let Ruth skip training session either. So they are planning remaining time for book reads, and excuses to access restricted area books.

Cody saw them and started walking towards them, Dale saw them walking towards him, his crossed his finger, his will passed them and nothing will happen. But his prayer didn't work. Cody whispers to his ear "Follow me".

Dale stopped walking, Ruth was with him, and Ruth will not let him go like in the past, he knows. He doesn't know what to do, he just pauses there.

Cody was waiting there for Dale, Ruth stopped after a few steps, He heard Cody, she was waiting for Dale's response. If Dale is going, Ruth will accompany him, She was ready for war.

Alpha wolf was not happy with Dale's response, he doesn't want to repeat himself. Cody walked a few steps back and whispered again, "Do you hear me ?"

Dale quickly responded, "Can we do this later.", as small voice as possible. He can see furious Ruth and he knows the outcome if this goes like this forward.

Micheal saw them talking, and from appearance he guessed its not normal talk, so he run towards them, when he reached, Ruth was ready to attack Cody anytime, and Cody was ready to kidnap Dale.

So firstly he held Ruth and asked Cody, "You want any help."

Cody, "No. I have some business with Dale to settle." And he moves to Dale and asks, "Dale, can you follow ?"

Dale, "Can we talk ?" He moved little away from siblings, Cody followed him.

Dale, "Can I meet you after school. I can't avoid Ruth. If you have anything urgent to talk, talk here, I can't follow you in her presence."

Cody, "Hmmm, Okay. Give me your number, I will text you after school, the place to meet."

Dale, "I will meet you at the football court seat entrance, Thank you." And he started to walk away, He came to Ruth hold his hands and started again to walk towards lockers.

Dale stopped and let Ruth"s hand, "Im sorry, Ruth. He has too much power over me. I can't refuse him. I don't want you to take against future Alpha for me."

He paused but before Ruth would talk anything, He started again, "I'm some toy to him, It will end soon, there is only two weeks for his birthday. He will F=find his Mate, If not he will start searching for one. He will have Alpha training, Celebration parties, he will forget me, and stop harassing me".

Once the Alpha ceremony on 18th birth happens, Every member of the pack has to greet and congratulate Alpha, If his mate is in the pack he can recognize her, there is lots of sign to recognize "Mate".

Their mate smell is very strong, they have different aura, and their touch is very exciting. For newly found mates, all signs are too strong.

If Alpha didn't find Mate in their own pack then he will travel pack by pack in search of his mate, All friendly pack of course, and pack congratulation party for him, and all pack members will be gathered to greet and congratulate him.

Alpha mate will be called Luna after the mating ceremony. Being Luna is a very strong position in the pack.

Alpha needs Luna to feel complete and stable, Alpha without Luna are not considered as stable one or right as the leader, Luna makes them complete and Strong.

Ruth, "Dale, You can't reduce him I get it, but I can, I can find for him, I'm ready to lose My future in this pack for you. You don't need to suffer this, Have you seen yourself for the past week, you corpse, You are showing but something is killing you inside, Express yourself, speak to me, We can go through this together, We will have war against the whole pack if that it takes."

Dale, "Yes, I'm going through some difficulties and Future Alpha have caused them. Okay I get it, but we don't need war for this. We are finding the cause, We can widen our search and look for any weakness in transitioning Alpha."

Dale paused for a few breaths, "We can solve this smartly without war."

Ruth, "You are not going to meet him without me, If he makes a move again call me. Take care." And they parted their ways.
