I fucked up, again. Regan’s pissed at me and so is Xavier. I glare down at the desk, wondering how I have managed to get this stupid. My father walks in, shaking his head at me. “Son, sometimes I wonder how I managed to give birth to such a moron,” he said as I glowered at him.

“Thanks, that’s really helpful” I snarled out of sorts and not willing to admit that he might be right.

I was an idiot.

“Look on the bright side. The summit is in a week and all of the Alpha’s of the various packs are going to be meeting there. You’ll be able to enquire about Heather and Isabelle and gain some information about them. I’m sending you, Xavier, and Regan to represent our pack this year instead of me” he said smugly.

“But you always attend the summit,” I said dumbly “You’ve always liked to.”

He was particular about how our pack was represented and worried about how we would come across to other packs. He was infinitely picky about it.

cheered up at the prospect of representing the pack and attending something so vitally important as the yearly summit. For a moment all thoughts of my child and Isabelle were pushed aside. I leaped to my feet and quickly reached for my father’s hand, vehemently shaking it as his eyes glinted with humor.

turning and rushing out the door. My father didn’t like to show weakness in front of us. Even though I thought that it showed how strong he was to be able to express his emotions like that. I sighed and then began to take the stairs two at a time. I banged loudly on the bedroom door, Xavier opening it with a fierce scowl on his face, that didn’t dissipate as he saw me.
