The Legend of the Alpha

11

"Hello dad, "Mike said as he looked at his father's unconscious form. He had been told that, his father's injuries were so great that, they had to keep him sedated to prevent him from feeling any pain, and, so far, the anesthesia hadn't worn off.

"Everything is going great, the mission was a success, much like you wanted ,but, "he shook his , "You don't need to be concerned, "the brown haired teen said.

"We'll handle it, just focus on getting better, we need your help now more than ever if we want to keep him safe. "

He stood up and kissed his father on the cheek gently. "I love you dad, "was the last thing he said before he turned away and started moving out of the room, 'I won't let your sacrifice be in vain,to rescue a friend only to lose another. We'll find Tyler,no matter what , even of its the last thing we do. '

And with this conviction in mind, he left the room, heading to Gerald's cabin to start the search for his best friend. Unbeknownst to him, there was a faint smile on the face of his unconscious father, as if he could sense everything that was happening around him, even though he wasn't able to participate, and was proud of his son.

......

Jack stood in front of Gerald, the blonde haired man not looking at his alpha directly. Even though he was looking better, it was obvious that he had seen better days.

His face was still and sweat could be seem on it. His black almost midnight coloured hair was stuck to his face, even so, he smiled when he saw Jack, the many scar and bruises on his face were slowly being healed. One of the benefits of being an alpha.

"Jack, what a pleasant surprise, I d-""Please forgive me sir, "Gerald, who was trying to get up paused in his action, a surprised look was donned on his face.

"What do you mean, "he asked as he slowly sat down. Jack shook his head, "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help in the rescue mission, but, I was recovering from an injury, and -"Gerald helping up an arm to stop him.

"It was not you fault. In fact, it was mine, had I not rushed into save the others, o wouldn't have been captured, and Tyler, wouldn't have been placed in danger. This is all my fault. "

He grasped his head, his eyes clearly showing the pain that he felt. Jack knelt down before him and grabbed his arm. "It's not your fault, you couldn't have known. "

He hesitated a bit before he continued in a lower voice. "And, about Tyler, he's gone. "Gerald immediately shot up. "What do you mean he's gone, " Jack rose to his feet rather slowly and took a deep breath.

"I think that it would be better to wait for the others to help explain the current situation. Even I'm not sure what is going on. "

The black haired man nodded and sat down again. "You're right, I shouldn't get flustered ,"he sighed as he passed his hand through his hair.

"It's just that, things have gone by so fast so quickly. I mean, I few days ago, I was merely planning what to teach Tyler during our next training session,but now, I'm forced to protect him with everything I've got.

"And, even an alpha of my calibre, feels exhausted at some point, and, I guess that,what I'm trying to say is that I've finally reached my limit. "

Jack was silent for a moment as he processed this. Finally, the blonde haired teen opened his mouth, "I so, wouldn't it be better to just get rid of him. That will take a great load off your back, and allow you to focus on resting and regaining your strength.

"With your permission, I shall gladly hunt him down and end his existence. It's not anyone if his friends can stand against me. "

As the words left his mouth, Gerald silently watched him as his eyes became increasingly colder, until it was like staring into the eyes of death itself, which, in a sense, it was.
