Gamer Pack (Werewolf AU)

Chapter V: Unexpected Trouble.

It was early in the morning, Mark hadn't slept all night and basically just stayed outside all of the night, letting his thoughts flow over him. Jack on the other hand hadn't gotten that much sleep from the night before due to his face hurting and the absence of Mark. 'Man... He didn't come to the room after last night.... I feel bad for going off on him so badly.' Jack sat up in the bed and stretched his arms out, standing shortly afterwards. He made his way to the bathroom and did what people normally do when they wake up. Go to the bathroom, wash your hands, brush your teeth, etc. After that he walked out to see that Mark was not in the living room like he thought he would've been. "Mark?" The irishman called out with his accent thick from the sleepiness he has yet to shake off. Everyone else in the pack was asleep besides Cry, who's sleeping schedule has never been the best. He heard Jack calling for the alpha male and quietly walked out of his room, careful not to wake Felix. 

"Jack, what are you doing up so early? You're not a morning person." He said casually, his voice deep with tiredness and messy hair from tossing and turning in his bed. Jack looked over at the taller male and sighed, running his hand through his fluffy patch of green that was on top of his head. "Mark never came back into the room last night after I yelled at him... I went into the room since I got teary eyed but he never came back." Cry nodded at this and smiled softly to Jack. "Well, knowing him, he couldn't have gone too far. Let's look for him and if we can't find him we'll wake the others and have them help." Jack nodded to this and they bumped each other's fists. "Alright, sounds like a plan." The smaller male said. The two males walked out of the cabin and closed the door behind them. Cry looked around and sniffed the air a bit, seeing if he could pick of Mark's scent. Since he was an alpha, he has a distinctive scent to him like all alphas did, Jack included. Jack started to walk and noticed footprints near the creek, but no Mark. "What the hell... Where is he?" The irishman cursed under his breath and continued to walk. Cry, not being far from the second alpha,  was the one to keep a look out in case some bright red hair was to be seen in the distance. The pair had been walking for quite some time and still had no sign of the alpha at all, not even a scent. "Crymony man.. Where the hell do you think this dude went?" He asked Jack, walking next to him. When he didn't hear an answer, he looked over at the other alpha to see small tears stream down those rosy cheeks of his. "Jack? What's the matter?" Cry asked, becoming a little bit concerned. "This is my fault man.. If I hadn't yelled at him last night, we wouldn't be doin' this!" Jack said and sniffled quietly, wiping his face. Cry shook his head and patted Jack's back lightly. "No, no, no friend please don't cry. This isn't your fault! You had a reason to be angry at him, that bruise is his fault for crying out loud, Jack." His deep voice expressed to the upset alpha, trying to get the point through nicely for him. 

"I know, I know. But the look he had in his eyes, Cry! I just want to find him and talk this out." Jack said, calming his nerves and continuing to walk, trying to stay in pace with Cry. Being short and keeping up with taller people was not easy. The two continued to walk and the hot suns were on their backs. It was now around ten in the morning and still no sign of him. "I vote we split up, I think we'll have a better chance of finding him that way." Cry was starting to get hot and wanted to speed this up some. As an alpha, Jack didn't feel right about splitting up with Cry to find Mark but he had a feeling that it would speed this process up a little bit. "Alright, but make sure to stay alert of your surroundings, we're technically not in our territory of the woods anymore." Jack's voice was serious and commanding to Cry, as this part of the woods was dangerous. "Yes sir. Of course." Cry said and went off to his separate path. Jack watched him until he couldn't see him anymore, which wasn't very far considering he forgot his glasses yet again at the cabin.

Time had passed and Jack hadn't found Mark yet. He was caught up in his thoughts about Mark until he heard a loud howl coming from the distance. He realized it was Cry and his eyes widened as the howl wasn't how he normally sounded, meaning that he was injured and in trouble. Jack's instincts kicked in and he turned into his wolf form. His fur was a dark brown color mixed with grey in it. He howled as loud as he could back to Cry, and the rest of the pack to get them into the same area as Jack was, and hopefully attract Mark back. No sooner than five minutes later, Felix, Ken, Wade, and Bob were next to Jack all in their wolf form. The last one to arrive was Mark, in his wolf form as well. Jack glared over at Mark and then looked at the rest of the pack. "This is serious. Cry is in trouble and we are not in our territory of the woods. This means that he got kidnapped. He howled to me so you all follow me and we're going to rescue a member of this pack!" He sent this through his mind to the rest of the pack. 

'Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Jack?' Mark sent to Jack as they all were running towards Cry. 'Probably not, you're in trouble after this, alpha boy.' Jack scolded him back. 'But if you're talkin' about who probably took Cry, then yes I am.' The two alphas led their pack to the rescue of Cry. This was definitely going to turn into a big fight, and blood was certainly going to be shed.
