HEAT AND RUT. (Alpha Lycan And His Omega Tiger)

ALPHA'S SON.

Chapter: 40
******

Kael stood at the Gates of the Manor, overlooking the vast expanse of land stretching as far as he could see, beautiful gardens and fields with rolling green hills in the distance, all perfectly landscaped and cultivated to perfection. A small river winds its way through the valley to disappear into a hidden pool. A few large ponds are scattered amongst the land. A magnificent view that should have been breathtaking but all Kael saw was an endless stretch of dull grey. The only colors were the white stone buildings and the green grass. Today was not a day for the beautiful scenery. Today is the day he introduces father and son. His eyes wandered to the little figure clenching onto his pinky, standing side by side with him and staring ahead into the Gates.

A small smile stretched across his lips as he watched his son. For all his outward appearances he was the most stoic little man anyone had ever seen. His face was impassive, his mouth set in a frown, dark hair tied back into a short ponytail, hand behind his back. He wore plain clothes without any jewelry or adornment. He had an air about him that screamed quiet confidence, even for his age. Kael admired how strong he already appeared, how maturely he carried his shoulders and body language. He knew he had raised a boy whom Rafa would be proud of. Kael knew deep inside he was doing the right thing, he had no regrets, no hesitation, it didn't matter if they disliked him, he had made up his mind, and he'd waited long enough for this moment. It's time he gave his son the good life and gained himself a Lycan.

What better time is there to come back to River Bay with the Alpha's son than at a time like this? Dare mentioned to him the Alpha's disappearance, and his opportunity to become the shining light the people need at their trying time. And once the Alpha returns, he must find favor with him so they can obtain the Book.

Three months have passed since the Alpha's Omega disappeared and Rafa in turn has lost his mind. He has abandoned his duties and his Packs. Even his Betas could not find him. Wherever he was, he made sure to seal his scent, and block his Links, so none could reach him. It was a scary time in River Bay and other Packs in the Alpha's protection and all hands were on deck, trying to find a trace of the Alpha so they could bring him home, but most importantly, they had to know if he was alright.

He could be sick, or dying someplace, but certainly not dead since a sudden death would bring down his Pack and kill many along with him. It worries his Betas greatly, they have visited with the Alpha's Birth Omega and even he could not say for sure where his son is now. They are worried sick that something might have happened to their Alpha of Alphas while he was away from his pack, but there is nothing to do at this point. If he doesn't want to be found, which is clearly what it was, then there is nothing they can do to find him. The pack is still mourning the loss of its Omega and the Alpha himself is nowhere to be found, which makes them feel more alone than ever in their grief. The Alpha's presence would have brought about a certain amount of comfort in their Souls, but with him gone, they all suffered greatly.

Even Leon has been contacted at some point, and he too was confirmed ill from the Alpha's disappearance and disconnection from him. Conri was acting recklessly, although they had seen it coming which was why Colleen didn't wish that he went on with the Rejection, it would have been endurable if the Omega were to be dead than be Rejected. Leon had informed them he knew where the Witch lives as well as who Dare works with, but he could not reveal these details to them unless he told Conri first.

His Links were so highly blocked, none could get through to him.

They had even gone as far as visiting the Seer, but even he had very little to tell. He had mentioned a son of the Alpha being the only Were who will be able to disclose the Alpha of Alphas' whereabouts besides his Omega, and now they have no choice but to wait and hope the said son foreseen by the Seer appears before the Gates of River Bay.
