Harry's POV

I looked around the room and noticed a lot of my pack members of my pack and could see they all had a look of confusion and worry on their faces.

'What's happening?'

'Are we under attack?'

'Alpha Harry looks scared are we in danger'

Those were all the questions his pack mates were shouting out to him demanding an answer why there was a sudden pack meeting.

"I know all of you are worried and some scared, but it's nothing to be worried about. Our rival demanded we help him with rogues on his territory or else he will attack" I started before shouts of protests filled the room.

'To hell with him'

'Let his pack suffer'

'I refuse to help that demon after what he did to our families'

"Settle down everyone! I understand you don't want to help Payne's pack and I don't either. But if I refuse to help him then a lot of us will suffer. We are a powerful pack and have strong warriors, but he has the numbers to overpower us. I have selected a majority of you to start training since the deadline is in two days" I announced.

"What about our families, I have a wife and kids" someone shouted.

"All women and children will be sent to a secret house in the mountains just in case Payne decides to attack" I answered.

"I am going to lead a small group of soldiers go and help Payne with his problem with the rogues. If any of you suspect he will turn on us another group lead by Zayn will attack his pack and when we think it's safe enough we will retreat. When we get there you are to not provoke any member of his pack or there will be consequences for your actions. I don't need anybody dying because of your stupid decisions and you know who I'm talking to" I said looking directly at Zayn who rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"You are dismissed. Go check in with Nick to see if you are to go in for training" I said and watched as everyone headed for my second in commands room.

"Well that went better than expected. I was picturing a lot more yelling" Zayn chuckled holding a terrified looking Niall under his arm. The blond was visibly shaking, eyes cast to the floor almost scared to look up while his hands gripped Zayn's. Zayn of coarse didn't notice any of this seeming almost proud that Niall was behaving so well in public.

"Me too. Hopefully a lot of members follow through with plan and everything goes according to plan" I muttered, "Where's Louis?"

"I haven't seen him" Zayn said and I looked at Niall waiting for an answer.

"Answer him" Zayn growled, lightly smacking the back of his neck and Niall flinched before looking at me with terrified eyes.

"W-Went outside, s-said he needed air" he stuttered in a soft whisper. I nodded and decided that I should give Louis some space since we are going to be mated soon and that's a lot for someone to take in.

'Go outside and make sure he is okay'

Zayn gave me a look of annoyance, whispering something to Niall before the blond scurried out of the room. I signed and ran a hand through my curls wanting this day to end so I could sleep away the stress of this whole situation. I went upstairs and decided I should send that email to Liam before it's too late. Before I even could turn on my laptop Zayn ran into the room with a worried look on his face.

"Louis. He's gone" Zayn panted out of breath.

"What the hell do you me-" I started before I pulled my phone at and checked the time.

3:00

"That doesn't make any sense the clocks all around the house said 11:00 when I started the meeting there is no way the meeting last over three hours" I snarled.

"Maybe someone from Liam's pack came in a switched the times" Zayn said.

"That's impossible, somebody in our pack is always in the house. Plus they smell different then we do, I would have caught on it immediately" I mumbled pacing up and down the room of the living area. "What if it's not someone from his pack but someone from our pack changed then on purpose?"

"Who would want to help them, everyone in the pack hate Liam's pack. Nobody would even think of helping him" Zayn exclaimed confused on why his friend would think of something so stupid.

"I know someone who would" I said, before making my way to the top floor where mine and Zayn's rooms were. I pushed open the door and as expected nobody was in there.

I walked further into the room and noticed that the window was half open and laying on the made bed was a note:

"I'm sorry"

-Niall
