The lights in the pack house was all off. Most of Daniel's pack members were asleep besides the guards. Daniel didn't sleep until sunrise. It was currently 3:45 AM. Daniel went over more paperwork.

A pack in the South pleaded with him to help them, send them some warriors, or even come down and train their warriors. Daniel tapped the pen on his desk. Rouge wolves recently have been destroying packs and Daniel simply wondered how.

Rouges alone or even with a number of people still shouldn't have been destroying packs. Unless, Daniel thought. No. He dismayed the thought.

Someone knocked on the door causing Daniel to curse under his breath, "Come in." Daniel said. Daniel was annoyed, the whole pack questioned why. But only one person besides Daniel knew why.

His Beta, Jace. Once Jace seen the look on his best friend's face, he understood. Jace wanted his mate, just like any man would.The person who walked in was his Beta. Daniel looked up at his Beta and the Beta looked into the Alpha's eyes. "Yes, Beta Jace?" Jace rose an eyebrow at Daniel's annoyed voice.

"To ease your wolf, I found out. The ride for the two she-wolves have been described as 'nice, and comfy.' It seems as the girls are enjoying their ride here." A faint smile touched Daniel's lips, knowing his mate wasn't in any danger. The smile disappeared faster then it came.

"Thank you Beta." Jace rolled his eyes at how formal his Alpha was. Daniel wasn't always like this, he used to be careful and happy, and now he's strict and always angry. Jace wondered if that was truly the life of an Alpha. But Jace only got more eager to meet his future Luna.

Would he change? Or will he still be the same? He thought. "How do you this your mate will react when she finds out you're still a virgin? You think she'll laugh?" Jace chuckled. "Would you be angry if she's not a virgin?"

A deep and powerful growl rumbled from Daniel's chest. Jace stiffen, "Sorry Alpha Daniel." He bent slightly and excused himself. Daniel quickly calmed down.

He looked at her file again. Flashes of her appeared in his eyes. He was wrong, wrong about those beautiful eyes. In all his lives, he never saw her look as she did in the life before. It almost scared him. Would she remember me? He thought. Would she want me? His thoughts were wild.

Of course she would. His wolf growled, angry at the fact the Daniel would think that she wouldn't. Daniel shouldn't be thinking like this, she might not even remember him. But he could never forget Sofia. She in all his past lives were someone he loved, not like brothers and sisters but as, lovers.

Daniel smiled as memories flashed in his mind. Him embracing her as she slept in his strong hold, and her kissing his cheek. One memory caused sadness to wash over him.

She lying in a hospital bed, she was terribly pale and skinny, scars because of Daniel (or as he thought) all over her stomach ending at her feet, dark circles under her eyes tears spilling out of her eyes as she looked at Daniel, him clenching her skinny and delicate hand so hard. "I love you, remember that. No matter what I will love you. I will always love you." Before he reply to tell her how much he love her, how much he cared for her, he eyes fluttered closed and a long "Beep" filled the room.

"Sofia!" He called out. "Sofia! Sofia! Sofia!" He yelled, tears spilling out his eyes in both the memory and in his office. It was all his fault that Sofia was gone. She wouldn't be gone that soon, if only he had...

He sighing looking at the clock 4:50 AM it read. Daniel closed his laptop after saving important files, and putting up his papers for the upcoming Pack meeting. After he did, he took a long hot shower.

Once Daniel stepped out of the shower a knock was sounded at the door. "Alpha! Alpha! Alpha!" A teenage boy said from behind the door. Daniel sighed, could he not get a moment of silence.

"Yes, Elliot?" He asked, slightly annoyed. Elliot blushed and looked away once he realized his Alpha wasn't dressed. Daniel almost forgot Elliot liked men. "Elliot, y'know if you like I could always put a shirt on." Daniel said, only making Elliot's blush worsen.

"S-sure." Elliot stammered. Damn, Elliot thought. An eight pack, Alpha? Why are you not my mate? Elliot watched his Alpha change. If only I can get a sneak peak downstairs? Elliot's eyes travelled downward and downward.

"I can feel your eyes on me, Elliot." Elliot quickly looked away. His cheeks were redder then the red traffic light. Daniel knew he had an amazing body and would always wear around shirtless around the pack house just to show he knew.

Once he was fully dressed he stepped out of the bathroom, his hair still damp. "Elliot, what do you want?" Elliot looked up and licked his dry lips. God surely did bless the Alpha. Daniel was delicious looking.

"Well, you see..." Elliot quickly told the Alpha about how about pack has been wiped out by rouges and only some she-wolves were alive. This kept happening. It made Daniel think hard, too hard. He made Elliot go to sleep as the guards shifts switch.

This pack that was recently attacked was close to Daniel's pack, too close. Daniel needed rest, his wolf was on edge and rest would surely come down his wolf.

His wolf didn't let him sleep. His wolf wanted to make sure his mate was safe. His wolf wanted her by his side like she used to be. Cephei, his wolf wanted her to be safe and Daniel wouldn't sleep until Cephei was aware of her safety. Daniel sighed, dialing the number.

"We're all safe Alpha." His Third-In-Command told him. Daniel sighed in relief, pulled the covers up to his chin and began to drift silently to sleep.

Until he was awaken by a frighten scream.
