Rin sat beside the pool watching as Haru swam laps, it aggravated Rin to no end that he he couldn't swim with him though. Alphas weren't able to interact with any of the member of another pack unless they were duel claimed and sadly Haruka was an unclaimed, and unclaimed wolves were a no go for all pack members. It was really strange for a clan to have an unclaimed but Haru had yet to show what he was, would he be an alpha, an omega or a beta? No one knew what Haru, the only guy to not show before the end of middle school, would be and sadly Rin would never know. Souji ,the alpha of the pack his parents and sister belonged to, was sending him away for his own good as well as a safety to the pack. Not many alphas can take to having another within there territory and sadly Rin was in the middle of it, being a child to one of the elder families of the pack.

"Haru? Are you home?" Makoto yelled into the dark entry hall of Haru's home. It had been weeks since the end of school and Haru had yet to come out of the house. Makoto had come by every morning to check on him and leave food that his mother had prepared, yet no matter what when he came by in the evenings the food would be eaten and the dishes would be clean and a note that said he was fine and to stop worrying would be on top waiting for him at the door. He would then go home only to repeat the process again the next day. "Haruka! This has got to stop you have been locked in your room for almost two months this isn't healthy!" Makoto layed his head aginst Haru's door his voice wavering slightly. "I'm worried about you, so is Ren and Ran as well as the Souji. He wants you out and at the meeting hall in the morning by seven. He says it's about time for you to be claimed and if your not there he will come and drag you out of this house and hand you to the first Alpha he sees." Makotos grip on the door handle tightened slightly at the thought of Haru going to an abusive or over dominating alpha. Makoto could hear shuffling on the other side of the room so he took a step back from the door hopeing that he would open the door, instead a note sliped under the door. Bending down he grabbed the note and read it.

"HARUKA! THIS ISN'T A LAUGHING MATTER! STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD! SOUJI ISN'T HAPPY WITH YOU AND YOUR ACTING LIKE A PUP BY HIDING IN YOUR ROOM!" Makoto had to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm himself before he could continue. " Haru this because Rin left isn't it ? Haru, don't you understand Rin was to much for Souji to handle? Plus he told the pack that if there was anyone who wanted him to be their alpha that they should go with him and that he wouldn't judge them. I'm loyal to Rin as well, but I stayed here because of you, you stupid bull-headed boy. I couldn't think of leaving you and going with Rin because I knew you would have never left this house and you would have starved because of your stupidity an pigheadedness. You mean so much to me Haruka." Mokto's voice became strained with the last few words.

"On the other side of the door Haru stood looking at an old photo of the three of them, the past two months had been hard on him. He had finally come out as an Omega and the Alpha he was bonded with was thousands of miles away and would never know that he existed. Haru hated to think about it but Makoto was right, he needed to get out of the house and tomorrow he would. He would meet Souji at the meeting hall and tell him that his wolf had come out at the beginning of summer break."Yea fat chance, I've talked myself into doing that a million time and in the end I stay in this room and hide. To afraid to show my face to Souji and Mokoto." He mumbled to himself. He looked to the photo of them again his gaze lingering on Rin's smiling face and the way his arms were slung around Makoto's hips so casually. Why couldn't that be him? Why did Rin have to want Makoto so much and why was Makoto so oblivious to Rin? "Makoto? Why do you...why did you turn down Souji's offer when you know Rin cares about you so much? I saw how heart broken he was the day he left and you turned away when Souji told the pack that if they wished to go with him they could but I wasn't a wolf yet so I couldn't go." Haru flung his door open staring Makoto in the eye. "You chose to stay because you were afraid to leave your family. You didn't stay for me, I know you say you did but I know better." Haru's heart was racing by the time he was finished and he was face to face with Makoto's surprised face.
