Moonlight Sun 2

Climax

The entire drive home, I tried to think of all the solutions I could, to ensure that Randy wouldn't have to marry Alana. All I could come up with was that we could run away, try to find our own pack, and I could come back when Sorrell is eighteen, even though a year without Sorrell would be torture for me, but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make for Randy, who was doing this for us anyway. I would just stay in touch with her. I wondered how, Sorrell felt about a long distance relationship. What other options did we have?

When I finally reached the cottage, Aunt Talya told me that I had just missed Randy. We were going to meet Randy at the reservation. That just meant I had to had to be secretive about letting him know my plan, I sent him a text message telling him that I needed to talk to him. I didn't get a response.

I decided to get ready, as if I was going to go through with the ceremony and somehow, sneak Randy out of there. I knew that with the both of our trust funds from our dad as well as the one that Satordi had set up for up for us we could stay gone for a year. Also with the part-time job I had at Ro's shop, I had also been saving money for Sorrell's engagement ring, but that could wait, it wasn't like she'd accept it anytime soon. Definitely not during senior year, which was as long as we planned to stay gone.

"Will, you take that thing off? It looks stupid." hissed Aunt Talya as I was in the mirror talking about the dog tag Sorrell had given me. I tucked in my shirt, and that was that.

Aunt Talya had asked to ride with me to the reservation, and I all I could think of was disinfecting the seat when I got the chance. She the sight of her made my skin crawl.

Witiki meetings took place in a community building whether than a bonfire. Even though the wedding was not supposed to take place today, this was where it would take place. Tonight Randy and Alana would promise themselves to each other. It was basically a Witiki courting ceremony. The only intention I had walking into it was to make sure it didn't happen.

There was a small lobby type area, where we were to wait to see the tribe elders, Aunt Talya and I had been the first in there. I check, my watch and it was 6:58.

Aunt Talya sighed. "Has your brother tried to call or text you?"

I shook my head and thought that maybe he had the same idea, maybe he left me to deal with the tribe elders. I shook off the thought, knowing that Randy would never do something like that. Just as I picked up my phone to call him, but then he ran in. He looked sweaty and disheveled.

"Are you okay Randy?"

"Yeah." he smiled.

"I'll go tell the elders we are all here." said Aunt Talya,going through the double doors of the community conference room.

Now this was my chance. "Randy, why don't we run?"

"What?" he snapped.

"We could leave, and make our own pack somewhere. We could find a tribe of wolf shifters on our own. The Witiki can't be the last tribe."

"Then you run Ken!" he said.

I shook my head. "Randy we don't have to do this."

"No, you don't have to do this, Ken." Randy said. "I have a legacy to protect. As long as I have kids with Alana, they don't care what you do, Ken. So go. You can hide out if you need to, but after while they won't even care, you can be with Sorrell, you guys can live a normal life."

"Randy, what are you talking about? We're a pack. You are my alpha." I pounded my chest with my fist. "I would follow you to the ends of the earth!"

He pounded his chest in response. "Thanks Ken. Now let's show these Witiki, what Lougaro men are made of."

I nodded.
