His Ugly Mate

Alpha Kane

"Hey, all of you, make your way over here.... Let's start fires all over the place." While playing with my friends using arrows and fire, I couldn't help but laugh. It was the best game we had ever played.

Indeed, each of us was fifteen at the time. However, we were considered to be part of the royal family of the blue moon pack, and I was considered to be the next in line for the Alpha position after my father.

My best friend yelled at me, "No, don't wait, Kane!" as he tried to stop me from doing something.

But dammit! I just released the arrow, and it just dropped in the Beta's house at this very moment with the signal "run guys, run or they will catch us." I informed them, and without delay I got up and started to run.

One of my closest friends approached me with a concerned question: "Kane, what if Beta wasn't there, and he didn't have time or any help to stop the fire?!!"

But I didn't give much thought to whether or not I should return because there was no way to turn back.

And it is imperative that no one else find out about what happened, or else my father will kill me.

Even when it came to me and other members of the royal family, he was very strict.

"Do not talk about today's incident ever again; forget about it completely.... Is that clear? Or else my father will put us behind bars...." I commanded, while also elaborating on the implications for them.

And yes, all five of us, the five closest friends, completely forgot about that. It was a secret between us.

After ten years had passed, all that we were aware of concerning the fire incident was the fact that the Beta had permanently lost that house because it was destroyed in the fire and that his daughter had been Injured. That was something that everyone was aware of.

I didn't inquire because I didn't want to know what took place and I didn't ask.
