Eleven Years Ago

(Alpha Chris P.O.V)

“Daddy guess what?” I grabbed her under her arms and brought her into a big hug. I looked at my cute little daughter with her brown hair and face that mirrored my beautiful wife, who was standing next to the door trying to catch up. I smiled at her while she was trying to catch her breath. Then I couldn’t help but laugh at her appearance.

“What ya laughing about, daddy?” I turned my attention back to the little girl in my arms and poked her nose then kissed her head.

“Oh nothing Elsie, what did you want Daddy to guess?” Her face scrunched up like she does when she is thinking.

“I met this boy today and we played while Mom and his Mom talked. I really had fun. I really like him Daddy” I knew the day was coming when she would have interests in boys but I didn’t know it would be so soon. I was speechless then I felt something hit the back of my head and I looked up to see my wife laughing at me.

“Yeah Elsie and I met up with Lynette and her son Owen. He’s such a cutie pie and seemed so overprotective of Elsie,” my wife said as she ran her fingers through my hair making me relax.

I looked at Elsie and said, “Owen is the son of one of my best friends. I bet he is a good guy just like his dad.” She just looked at me and smiled.

This brought me back to the things I am supposed to do. I put Elsie down and told her to go play with the other kids while Mommy and I talked. After she skipped away, I turned to my wife.

“Emerson says that there is a rogue pack close to our area. Now I know that we could probably get this handled, he said it didn’t seem that many”

“Well, Chris I know you and Beta Emerson thinks this is nothing but we also have Elsie here. You know and I know that this is a small pack and it’s dangerous for someone to know about Elsie. Remember that’s why we went through the trouble to get Elsie’s necklace from the witch. I talked a little with Lynette and she thinks that we should make a treaty with them. They are our friends and we can trust them.” She sat there on my desk with her hands on both sides of my face. I couldn’t look at her eyes she was right.

“I’ll call him right now,” I said picking up the phone, “Oh and Melanie.” She turned back to look at me.

“Where’s my kiss?”

She laughed as she came and placed her lips to mine and left. I returned to the phone and dialed the number.

“Alexander Brooks speaking”

“Hey Alex, it’s me Chris”

“Chris it’s been some time. I heard that Lynette and Owen saw Melanie and Elsie. Elsie sure made a number on him.” His laugh was contagious and I couldn’t help but laugh too.

“Same here, but I wanted to speak to you about something else”

His voice suddenly became serious. “What”

“There seems to be some rouges around my pack’s area and Melanie and I are wondering about the safety of our pack but most of all about Elsie” He and Lynette are the only ones that know about Elsie. We trusted them wholeheartedly knowing they were never going to use her power for bad. It was everyone else I worried about.

“Is Elsie in danger? How many are there?”

“Emerson said that there wasn’t much, but I just wanted to have some extra protection and even though I hate to admit to that, I want Elsie safety more.”
