Just Maybe

Chapter two

Sora stood tall with his full 6'6 height, his large body dominating the space surrounding him. His short, cropped, jet black hair contrasting with his frosty blue eyes making him look even more domineering. A twitch developed in his sharp jaw as he surveyed all the pack members gathering in front of him for their meeting. As the Alpha of the third generation of rogues, he was deadly. At the young age of 25, he had murdered, stolen, cried, bleed, dominated and hunted for his pack, and they were loyal because of it. But today he was going on a mission for himself, something that would end up being good for the whole pack, but if he was being honest, he wanted this for himself. 

Outsiders quickly learn not to mess with his pack. With Sora's short temper and ruthlessness, he was almost legendary. Known for conquering opposing packs and claiming their land, leaving just the innocent to become a part of their pack. All others were killed swiftly. 

His pack had no choice but to obey him. As far as he was concerned, those opposing him could leave or could challenge him to the death. At 18, he had claimed the Alpha status. At 19 he had conquered his first war. At 21 he had claimed land for his people to call home and now, today, at 25, he was going to find his mate.

Turning to his brother Lyel, he looked at his capable brother. With deep green eyes, and lush brown hair, you wouldn't know that this was his sibling, most people thought that they were just very close friends. Sora had decided that while on his trip to hunt for his mate, he would be leaving the pack under his order. He could trust his brother. Lyel was his second brother at 23 years old, built like a brick house with bulging, muscly arms, a thick neck leading to broad shoulders. At first glance, you might think he was an aggressive, giant of a man, falling just shorter than Sora at 6'4 ft, but more time with the man would reveal a loving, gentle giant. His loud booming voice would normally frighten most people, however he never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it. But anyone that challenged him or attempted to hurt the pack, would meet a gruesome death. 

Tristan, who stood on his other side, was their younger total opposite. As the youngest brother of the three, he was always well protected. Small in stature but the most observant of them all. His hazel eyes pierced you, keeping an almost hawk-like gaze on his target before attacking. His small lean body meant that he could accomplish the jobs that his large and in charge brothers can't do.Due to his slight build, Tristan prided himself as being the 'spy' of the family. If something needed 'obtaining', it was always Tristan's job to get it. But not, however, before his big brothers did extensive research to make sure that there was no way for Tristan to get hurt. 

Sora refocused on his pack as they began to settle and become quiet, waiting for their Alpha to begin the meeting. Clearing his throat, he made sure to make eye contact with some of his member as he spoke. 

"As majority of you know, this last few days, we have had visitors in the cabin just north of our land. Normally we leave those people alone because they cause us no harm and we have had an agreement with the family for the last three generations"

A few members nodded while some agreed verbally. 

"During this last visit, I have smelt the scent of my mated! and I will be following the scent to where my mate resides and I will be bringing her home!" 

A burst of cheers filled Sora's ears. He felt the excitement of his pack fill him. 

"While I am gone, Lyel will be with you and he will be taking my place as secondary Alpha until my return with our new Luna, and he will deal with any situations as he sees fit.  Tempest will also be his second in command. Any orders given by Lyel will be treated with the utmost respect or you will be held in the dungeons and then prosecuted by me on my return!"

After my meeting, Tristan came knocking on the stone wall into my cave before lifting the cloth that is used for the makeshift door. 

"Brother, the enforcers have prepared for our leave. Lyel is also on his way to farewell us before we leave"

"Oh, you gonna miss me pipsqueak" came the booming voice of our brother, the bulging hunk making his way into my room. 

"Jesus. I feel like my rooms become a meeting room for the whole pack" 

"Oh calm down oh so mighty one. I've just come to say goodbye before you leave and wish you well for your mate" Lyel said in his cheeky tone. 

"I swear if you were just a normal pack member and not my own blood, I would have thrown you into the dungeons till you learnt not to speak to your alpha like that" Soras voice returned. 

"Yes, well... Lucky I'm your brother right"

"Lucky for you. And only you to be honest. The rest of us don't feel so privileged to be related to you" Tristan returned in a snarky voice.

"Ugh, you two have no hearts, I swear. Anyway, I've gotta go and do this stupid paper work before the council meeting tomorrow. I love you both and good luck with the mate" Lyel said honestly. It warmed Soras heart. 

"Thank you Lyel"

"Bye Lyel!" Tristan replied happily. Glad to be away from at least one of his over bearing brothers. He would have been glad to be away from the both of them, even for a weekend but he took the blessing when it represented itself. 

Laughing as his hulking body made its way out of the cave door "Sure" was his reply before he was out of sight.
