Ch. 17 Search Party.

"Okay, so for my idea, there's at least fifty of you right?" I asked, they all nodded in silence, and I smiled a little. "So I want to divide into five groups of ten, for each group there should be five people who are good at fighting, and five who are good at finding incase the other pack shows up. You can all start tracking where Dean left, which is my bedroom window, and if being in wolf form makes it easier go ahead, there's nothing but woods for miles around." I explained, they all nodded, Levi smiled at me, "You talk like an Alpha." He commented, but I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not. "You heard her!" He called, they all started breaking into groups, and Levi leaned towards me. "Go grab something that has Dean's scent all over it, it'll be easier to pick up on his scent that way." He ordered, I grabbed five things that had Dean's scent on them. A pillow, two t-shirts, a pair of jeans, and the pillow case.

"Diane and I are staying behind to make sure nothing happens to Sandra, if you find a lead, report back immeadiately." Levi added, they all nodded and left. That left Diane, Levi, and I just sitting in the living room completely silent. "So are there any questions you have about werewolves?" Diane asked, I nodded, "So you have inhuman, strength speed, and senses in and out of your werewolf form?" She nodded, "Except we're even stronger in our wolf forms." Unfair, I thought, but maybe that might work to Dean's advantage. "Dean told me about attachment, does it impair your judgement? How do you become attached?" I asked, Levi rolled his eyes, "It's so like Dean to only tell someone part of the whole thing. It doesn't impair your judgement, it just makes you more attracted and curious about the person that your spirit is attracted to, it's subtle, but it's still your choice on whether or not to act on those feelings, only Alpha males can find an attachment, regular male wolves can't, and female werewolves have it to. This is so the Alpha can find a suitable mate, because in a pack there's warriors, scavengers, and an Alpha male, and Alpha female. To become attached to someone, and complete the process, you have to kiss them." Levi explained easily, I paused in surprise. Dean and I were attached. Diane huffed, "You're as bad as your brother." She snapped, Levi rolled his eyes.

"You don't just give them a peck and then you're instantly attached. It can't be a kiss of lust or just plain passion, it has to be a kiss of love." Diane explained, glaring at Levi. So Dean and I weren't attached. "So true love's kiss?" I asked, she nodded, "Yes, I guess. Except it is not nearly as romantic as it seems." She answered, still glaring at Levi, but he laughed. "Come on, our attachment kiss was romantic!" He exclaimed, I raised a brow.

"Okay so Levi and I liked each other before he was Alpha, you don't always need attachment to make a smart decision, but Levi's father and mother said he couldn't marry until he was Alpha, and they told him that he shouldn't be around me. So we were torn apart, and I'd been in another pack at the time, so the Alpha in my pack proposed to me and even though I knew I didn't like him, I didn't think Levi would be able to marry me because it didn't look like his father was going to die soon, and sense they were a family pack he couldn't murder him to gain his position or he'd be exiled. So I thought I'd marry for power instead of love. At our wedding, I made sure not to invite Levi or any of his family. But as it turns out his father was deathly ill and had been hiding it, so he died. Then Levi ran all the way to wedding and interrupted it." Diane explained, I smiled, not seeing how it wasn't romantic. "I know, it sounds so cliche and cute, but it was just stupid and unwise." Diane added, Levi rolled his eyes.

"He'd just intruded onto another pack's territory, which was grounds for termination, and he also interrupted the Alpha's wedding. So he grabbed my hands on the aisle, and confessed his love for me, told me he was Alpha of his pack now, which was worse for him, and proposed to me. Right on the aisle of my wedding. Of course I said yes, which pissed off the other Alpha more, and to make things even worse, Levi kissed me. Then we were attached, which means we can basically read each other's emotions, and we know where the other is at all times. After that Levi pulled of my ring, and tossed it onto the ground. So he'd basically sealed our fate. The last thing I remember about that was running for my life in heels and a wedding dress, and getting shot at. Still have the scar on my shoulder, all because of this idiot." Diane explained, Levi shrugged, "I like to make an entrance, and an exit." We all laughed a little bit, but it was soon replaced by my raw nervousness.
