The Alphas Son

13

Rhett's POV

"Alright bud, we're going to start off in a big group first, okay? We will talk about what we want to accomplish for the day and then we break off into groups, just stick with me."

Weston nodded his head and smiled brightly, freezing still by my side as I commanded the attention of all the warriors.

"Good morning everyone!"
"Good morning, Alpha!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Today we're going to focus on technique. I don't want you doing anything at 100% until I see that everyone has the proper technique down. We are not risking any injuries when it comes to level 1 skills. Now everyone break off in your groups."

Weston looked up at me and raised his eyebrows, like he was questioning if we were actually going to train today.

"Come on buddy, we're gonna train with your age group. I'm gonna teach all of you the proper way to fight without hurting yourself"

"Nice" I hear Wes whisper.

We get to the small group of about 10 young pups, roughly about the same age as Weston, if not a year or two older.

"Alright everyone, I'm going to be helping you train now, I also brought my friend Weston so he can learn everything too. Please make him feel welcome"

Weston went in the group of kids and started chatting, introducing himself to everyone. He was very chatty when it came to making friends.

"Alright let's partner up and get started"

Weston looked at the kid next to him, Micha, and smiled.

"Can we be partners"
"Yeah, sure!" Micha said with a big smile on his face.
"Cool" Weston said back as they spread out to find a spot to practice.

All the young fighters lined up in their pairs and stared at me, waiting for my orders.

"Okay, we are first going to practice how to throw a proper punch. One partner is going to throw the punches while the other absorbs them."

"Excuse me, Alpha, how do we absorb?" One of them asks.

"That's what I'm here to show you" I tell them confidently "so first let's start off with how to throw a proper punch. We don't need any of you hurting yourselves"

Once I finished showing them how to execute each skill, I let them do it themselves. I watched over them, of course, because I knew one of them was bound to forget something and accidentally get punched or be the punchee.

After a little training I finally heard a small whimper and a thud. Turning around I see Micha on the ground curled up in a ball and Weston standing looking scared.

I walk over and lean down to Micha to make sure he was alright.

"You okay Micha?"
"Y-yeah, I couldn't breathe for a second but I'm fine now" he groaned out as he stood back up, dusting himself off.

"I'm sorry Micha, I didn't know how hard I could punch."
"It's okay dude, I'm back up. Can I punch you next?"
"Sure" Weston said with a smile on his face.

The whole encounter was kind of funny. I'm going to have to talk to Rhi about this though. He's starting to get stronger. I was his age when I started to begin my alpha journey. I just need to figure out what to do.

All of a sudden I hear commotion behind me and when I turn around I see some of my warriors urgently running my way.

"WHAT IS IT?!" I yell through the mind link
"The borders have been breached, Alpha, at least 10 dead. Everyone needs to go under lock down immediately."

"EVERYONE! LOCKDOWN! NOW!" I roar and everything becomes chaos. Everyone is moving every which way and I immediately get my eyes on Weston, grabbing his arm and throwing him on my back. Micha was already gone, knowing his plan for lockdown was to go back home.

"Alpha what's going on?" I hear Weston cry out as I run towards the pack house with him clinging on.

"We have people who we don't trust that just trespassed on our land. They are very dangerous people, Weston, this is why we are going back to the pack house. I know you're scared but we will be back with your mom in no time okay?"

"Okay" he whimpered out. His head was tucked in my back, shielding his eyes just in case he saw something he shouldn't have to see. My legs have never moved faster, my son was on my back. I was not only saving my life but his as well. In the end, his life is more important than mine and I knew that I would do whatever was necessary if something were to happen.

The pack doors were in sight and I reached them fairly quickly. People were running in the house, going down to the basement to lockdown.

Each house is equipped with technology installed in the basement. We are able to hide in compartments/rooms in the pack house basement or in any basement in the pack so intruders can't locate us. The compartments are hard to spot and cover scent so it looks like we just vanished.

I run downstairs to the basement and crowd in one of the compartments being used. A lot of people but they were all safe.

I scan the room and look for Rhiannon and I can't seem to find her.

Weston found some boys from training and sat with them, all of them seemed scared but were being comforted by each other.

"I'll be back Weston, just stay here, don't leave this compartment."

He nodded his head and turned back to his friends, continuing to talk to them.

I quickly run upstairs to Rhiannon's office and open the door. She was sitting at her desk with headphone on, typing vigorously on the computer.

Once she felt my presence, she looked up and tilted her head in confusion.

Her hands reached slowly towards her headphones and immediately ripped them off, noticing my face did not change its serious expression.

"What's going on?"
"We have intruders on the property. We think it's the  rouges trying to get our attention. They've already killed 10 of our men so we have to get downstairs now"
"Where's we-
"Downstairs! Now come on!"

I grab her arm and practically drag her to the basement. All of the compartment doors close as soon as we get inside. The silence is now deafening. People don't want to move and risk making any noises to be captured.

All of a sudden I remember my wife. My Luna. The woman who runs this pack with me. I become furious with myself. Why didn't I think of her before I thought of Rhiannon? What type of alpha am I for doing that to my own Luna.

"Rhiannon is your mate, what do you mean?" My wolf, Zed, spoke.

"But I have a Luna, she is the only Luna my people know."

"Well maybe she shouldn't be anymore."

"What are you even saying to me?"

"I'm not saying anything. You need to know deep down that the moon goddess paired you with Rhiannon for a reason. That reason is why she is better suited for you and for the Luna position"

"I can't listen to you right now"

Just like that I turned him off. I couldn't hear this right now. I am stuck in here and I have no idea where she is. What is wrong with me? I should have checked to see where she was first.

At least Rhiannon is safe.

Scarlet knows lockdown too well. She knows where to go, what to do. I shouldn't be worried. I know she's safe.
