I never knew

Chapter 10

The surprise party went on as people ate food and played games or just enjoyed the company, and listened to stories told by the elder members of past wars and packs all over. I and my sister were sitting at the bar when Justin and Garon came in. " evening fellas ... A bit late I see ?" I couldn't stand tardiness but these two I'm sure had perfect reasons for their lateness to my sister's welcoming surprise to the pack. " we were out finishing patrol alpha ." Justin spoke up as if he had embarrassed himself. I knew the problem but I didn't speak about it much. " alright. You two are relieved of your duties go have fun." They almost ran from the room in glee. Turning to creed I could see an impending thought on her face . " what's wrong sissa? " I leaned into her curious about what she had on her mind. She hasn't accepted the pack yet or I had invited her yet so I couldn't search her thoughts till then. " I'm sorry for acting like such a brat about all of this. I just. I wish you would've given me a heads up or something.. This would've been less a shock and piss-off moment than it was.." I felt my heart sink. She was right. If I had told her this might've gone smoother than planned.." I'm sorry I didn't. I thought if I had said anything you'd tried to have me put in a mental institute for delusional psycho " I heard her laugh. The ice was melting from a tense moment and it made my heart swell with joy. " I would've considered it but you're my brother. You have never lied to me so... I would've eventually gotten curious and said show me..but I am sorry.." Her arms tugged me Into a hug and I smiled. Her petite form seemed so much more fragile when she hugged me. " creed I need to speak with you about something important.." Her shoulders tensed and I felt her pull away. My heart sank again. I enjoyed bonding moments with her, they were rare. " do you remember anything about earlier today...?" I questioned her looks instantly as she looked up at me . " not really.. Just the wolf information video and going for a walk. Then I woke up in bed and came to find you.." I thought for a moment and nodded . " alright. Well if you do .let me know ." With that, I sent her on her way to have fun. She deserved it. Later I'd ask as a formal alpha to join the pack. A proper invitation as it should be. My wolf purred with joy. His little wolf sister would soon be a part of us and it made us both feel complete. No more lies or hiding the truth from our only family.

Everybody was running around chaotically laughing and screaming. Almost everyone was in excitement. I and my friends Garon and krux were drinking martinis and eating tiny sandwiches, joking about who would find their mate first. I saw kruxs face turn a bit red and in my shock, I decided to poke at his quick embarrassment ." What's turned you 50 shades of red? " I had to ask...he was hiding something. " I'm hot... It's stuffy in here... " I saw him eye me like he was going to punch me. But I simply pressed on. " you can tell me you know... We're family... Brother " his eyes darkened from their grey hue to a dark purple. " it's creed " that was all he said then he got up and left. I and Garon exchanged looks and he got up to follow. I just sat here eating and drinking watching the party go on before me.

"Krux what is your problem ?" I had to keep following him. He twisted through everyone trying to lose me, but it didn't work. "KRUX!" He turned around his purple hue eyes now a dark red. He was angry and his wolf was so close to breaking the surface. I took a quick chance and shoved him through the rest of the people into the closet room I could find. He fell through the door and came crashing to the floor with a loud thud shaking the floor . " krux forgive me. Now, what is your problem? Ever since creed changed you've been uptight and....wait.." I eyed krux as he was now standing. Watching me, almost in a challenge. " krux is creed your...mate..?" He stiffened but still did not speak. "...krux..?" He snarled in response. " I don't know yet... My wolf is confused.." I blinked and just stared at him. " I've been trying to keep a distance from her. But alphas orders are making it impossible until I know for sure..garon don't say a word" I could see the plea in him if Kuja knew he'd either toss krux from the pack or kill krux and pass his rank to someone else. " I won't. But when you know for sure...let me know" I was sincere with him. I stepped aside and let him out the door. After the door shut I slipped down to a squat, rubbing my face. " uggghh this may have just become the worst idea ever..." After steadying myself, I rejoined the party in search of Kuja. We had some words to share.

The party was still going but it slowed a bit. All mothers had wandered with their children to bed. It was only 11:00 pm. But pups needed their rest. Most of the pack had made it to the backyard. Surrounding the enormous bonfire constructed by Garon and Justin. It was supposed to be unsupervised fun but turned into an amazing gathering for everyone. At 11:30 pm. Hissing and loud booms whereas the sky decorated itself with fireworks. It was all for creed.
