~~Cole~~

Cole your mom wishes to see you in the garden. 

I will be right there.

I drag myself out of bed, and search for clean clothes.  What do you think she wants? Asked my Wolfe Zander. I don't know she hasn't talked to us directly scene dad died.

Well i think she wants to talk to us now.

Smart a**.  I finally find my black cut off and dark jeans. And I make my way to the garden.

When I get there my mom is sitting where she usually is, on the ground next to my father's grave.

" you wanted to see me mom?" She flinches,  like she didn't hear me coming.

" yes... I have been thinking Cole, it's been almost a year scene your dad has passed. And I can't continue being a mother, luna, and alpha to our pack it isn't good for them... or I. I need to focus on being a mother to you Gwen and Allie, so with that being said, tomorrow I will step down and you will take over our pack."

What?! Zander yelled in my head. What are you so upset about? We get to be the alpha! This is what we were born for.

I understand that dip sh**. But we haven't even found our mate yet. We are supposed to be com alpha when we find her!!

Good point...

" Mom, what about my mate? It is our packs tradition to find our mate before I become alpha." She sighs, stands up and walks to me. " I'm so sorry baby.  I know you had your heart set on this, but I can't do this anymore.  It's to much."

Tears start rolling down her slightly wrinkled face. I wipe them away and pull her into a hug." It's ok mom, I understand. " We stand there for a while just holding each other, wondering what tomorrow will bring. " oh!  I for got to tell you, mr. And Mrs. Anderson found a she wolf to adopt they are bringing her home next week. So you need to have a pack meeting ok?" She pulls back and looks me in the eyes, they look just like my sister's.  I lean down and kiss my mom on the head, nod my head and rap her into another hug.
