Carlos's POV
I prepared my luggage for my flight tonight. I zipped my luggage when my wife, Clarissa, entered our bedroom cross-arms, leaning at the door and watching me.
"Are you sure, Tif, can help you to solve the case?" Clarissa asked.
"I'm not sure, but I want to believe, because she is a vampire, more than anyone else she knew her kind," I said. I embraced her, worries seen on her face. She snaked her arms to my waist.
"Do not worry, my love. Be careful while I am gone. Call me if needed. Keep our children safe, ok?" I kissed my wife's forehead. She nodded.
"Not to worry about us. I just worried that you will travel long and it's the first time you will be away from us." She said sadly.
"Don't be sad. It's just two to three days then I will be back." I said smiling at her.
She sniffed and hugged me tightly.
"Ok, you go. You might be late if you will not go now." I nodded. I grabbed my luggage and lead my wife outside of our house.
"Ok, Tyler let's go." As I called Tyler's attention.
"Ok," As he goes into the driver's seat.
"Alpha, I'm going." I waved my hand as I said my goodbye to our Alpha Daniel.
"Be careful on your way, Carlos."
"Sure." Then I go inside the car's passenger seat.
"Mind linking us if needed." Alpha Daniel said before waving his hand.
"Yes, Alpha." We said in unison.
We now leave the territory of the Blue Moon Shadow Pack to which we belong.
Early on this, I had a tough debate with my pack. I am the warrior of this pack. My pack was worried about what is happening at our place so I asked to have a conversation with Alpha Daniel.
"The series of kidnappings and murders are uncontrolled. The human police have a hard time solving these problems. I'm afraid for our family's safety. So we should take safety measurements of our kind, especially for our pups." I said to Alpha Daniel when inside his office.
"I agree with you. Seems that they want to kill all the innocents. Maybe they are building their armies. What do you think?" Alpha Daniel said.
"Yes. I think so. So we should be careful." I replied.
"Any idea how we can solve this problem? 'Til now, we don't have yet gathered a report." Alpha Daniel plopped his elbow.
"I have an idea how to solve this problem, Alpha, but I need you to be open-minded," I said.
Alpha Daniel furrowed his brows and looked at me.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I'm afraid that if we will not do this, we are the next target, especially our pups. So I decided yesterday to call my old friend to help me solve this case." I looked at him intently.
"That is good. Then what is the problem?"
"Well, my old friend is a vampire."
"W-what? A vampire?" He was extremely shocked. I nodded.
"Yes, a vampire. So, if I seek help from her, she must live with us. That is the problem. I hope you will allow her to live with our pack for the jiff. After this case was solved, she can go back to her place." I said.
Alpha Daniel was silent in the meantime. He was thinking deeply.
"This friend of yours, how long you know her?" He asked after a moment.
"For hundreds of years, I know her. She even lives longer than us. We went through life and death, so I trust her with my life." As I said this, remembering my memories with Tiffany soften my voice.
"Seems she is very dear to you. Ok. I will hold a meeting regarding this matter." Alpha Daniel said so, agreeing with me.
"Thank you, Alpha Daniel. I will go to Norway to visit her and get her here." I informed.
"Ok." Aloha Daniel said.
As I expected, the pack disagree with my plan.
"No, Alpha. How can he be sure that the vampire will not harm us?" One of the pack said.
"Yes, Alpha!" The crowd said in unison.
Alpha Daniel looked at me.
"I know you are worried about our safety but I guarantee you that she is harmless to us. I've been with her for centuries and I can guarantee that. If I fail, you can take my life." I heard my wife gasp at what I said. The crowd became silent so Alpha Daniel spoke.
"You heard what he said. We can take his life if he failed. So, as your Alpha let's take this chance as an opportunity to stop killings and murderings in our place. We are in danger. And we have to defend ourselves, especially our pups from this danger... So now, I allow Carlos to his decision." Alpha Daniel announced.
Murmurs were heard in the crowd.
"Silence!" Alpha Daniel said.
"If any of you disagree, you suggest what is your solution to what we are facing now and do what you plan. Anyone?" No one spoke. They only bowed their heads.
"So that it! This meeting ends now. You can go back to whatever you need to do." Alpha Daniel said.
The Alpha went down from the stage and strode back to his office. The pack was spread out. My wife and I went back to our house. My wife arranged the extra bedroom for Tiffany.
We arrived now at the airport. Tyler was assigned by Alpha Daniel to the airport. He is the Gamma of the pack.
"So here you go. Good luck with your journey." As Tyler patted my shoulder and pull me to hug.
"Thank you, Tyler. Go back safely, ok?"
****
"Yes. And I hope this plan of yours will succeed. I am worried about our pack and other packs at Seaward Pack. This is the first time it has happened." Tyler says.
"Don't worry about it. In every problem, there is always a solution. Be careful on your way back. I'm going now." I tapped his shoulder.
"Ok. Good luck."
Then Tyler goes back to the car and drives away going back to the pack. I pulled my luggage and went ahead inside the airport.
I went to the immigration officer and answered his questions to me and he stamped my passport after I passed. I went to my flight designation while pulled my luggage and sit on one of the chairs to wait for a call to board my flight.
