Everyone was gathered outside the pack house in their feral forms and those who couldn't shift yet remained in human form. Dad Byron was giving his speech for the loss of our future alpha while my eyes couldn't look away at the two bodied that was placed on top of those dried woods that were neatly piled and arranged.
Burning the bodies of the dead was always been our ritual. The ashed would be gathered after and during the next day's morning patrol, the ashes would be placed around the pack borders believing that they would guide and protect us and to strengthen also the pack borders.
I sighed and as I watched my dads shift back to their human form and they were handed with a torch. I watched them walk to the piled woods and burn it.
The fire spread immediately, crawling up until it reached the top, burning the two bodies slowly. Dad howled after shifting back to his wolf and all the pack members followed howling under the half-moon.
The howling sounded like cries in my ears and tears couldn't help but stream down my eyes.

Dad Byron stayed with dad Darren until all the ashes were gathered in a huge jar. Dad Byron was hugging dad, who fell asleep while crying non-stop.
"I never thought your older brother would pass away before me." Dad Byron said.
I only sighed as I looked up at the moon.
That morning, I also went with the early border patrol and helped with the ashes. After the patrol, I took a long bath and before I started dozing off, I stood up and wiped myself then went down for breakfast and to tell my dads that I'll be visiting my mate that night.
"You already found your mate?" Dad Darren asked, surprised.
"Yes. I'll be seeing him tonight."
"Who's pup is he?" Dad Byron asked.
"He's a human." I said and they both looked at me.
Never in our pack's alpha line had a human mate which would make me the first.
"Have you told him about us?" Dad Darren asked.
"Not yet. I might tell him later."
"Did you mark him already?" Dad Byron asked.
I almost choked on my food. "Yes."
"Then he must already know."
"He's confused right now."
"Tell us about him." Dad Darren said.
I couldn't hide my smile just thinking about Jean. "Jean Fiore." I started and I ended up saying all the things that I knew about him including how he likes to eat chicken.
Dad Darren chuckled at me when I couldn't stop talking about Jean. "You're whipped."
"You were like that when we were at his age." Dad Byron said.
"Excuse me, it was you. Did you forget how you keep on chasing me?"
I smiled at my two dads arguing like pups in front of their pup. I was to see dad Darren smiling after seeing him last night who couldn't stop crying. Even his eyes were still puffy.
Dad Darren started telling me how Dad Byron chased him like his bodyguard before making me laugh.

I just finished taking a shower and my body was trembling from the cold but I still couldn't decide what to wear thinking that Dos would visit tonight. Should I wear my pyjamas or a casual shirt. I searched for a nice shirt in my drawer but I still ended up putting on my silk pyjamas.
Dos messaged me that he would be there at eight. We already had dinner at seven so I had time to wash before Dos arrives. I checked the time. It was seven forty-three.
My heart jumped when I heard the doorbell rang making me stand up from the bed and run down the stairs. Mom already opened the door and she turned to me wondering who was rushing down the stairs like a tornado.
"It's Dos." I said.
"Yeah. You go and open the gate for him. You should have invited him earlier for dinner. It's been a while since he dined with us."
"The next time." I said as I went outside.
My heart was pounding as I walked towards Dos who was watching me without blinking his eyes making my face hot. I opened the gate with my trembling hands and I felt like a fool because it seems like the bolt was stuck and after I pulled the bolt, the gate wouldn't open when I pulled it. I forgot that there was also another bolt below the gate.
My face was heating up so much from embarrassment as I finally opened the gate after making myself a fool in front of the person I love. I really want to earth to swallow me right now.
"I missed you, hubby." Dos said and he pulled me in a tight hug.
"I missed you also." I placed my ear on his chest and hugged him back.
I didn't want to let go but it was getting colder outside.
"Let's go inside." I said and Dos let go of me.
Dos held my hand making me smile shyly.
"I really want to kiss you." Dos said.
"Uuh, my parents are watching." I said and referred to mom and dad who were in the living room watching tv.
Dos smiles and I almost melted. He was so handsome.
"Inside your room then." He said.
I blushed. "Okay."
×××××
I pulled Dos up to my room because mom wanted to chat with Dos and it seems like she had no plan of letting him. Dos chuckled as he closed the door and locked it.
"You missed me this much?" Dos asked and I was about to defend myself when he didn't give me time and pressed his lips on mine.
I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. I shivered when Dos held on my ass and lifted me making me wrap my legs around his waist without cutting our lips.
"Jean." Dos muttered in between our lips and sucked on my bottom lip as he walked to my bed and placed me down, him on top of me then cut the kiss.
Dos looked at me and I pulled him in a hug.
He was still grieving after losing his older brother.
