Chapter 2-Beck
I am a horrible monster. I ruined a child's life even though I saved him from the hell he was going through. I still cannot forgive myself. The saying like father like son effectively fit this scenario, no matter how wrong it may seem. I did this, I'm the reason Sam did what he did. I will never forgive myself, no matter what.

I was getting worried now, the snow was starting to fall faster and Sam wasn't back yet. I anxiously paced the snow covered ground, waiting to catch even the smallest whiff of him. My prayers were answered as well as my worst fear; Sam trotted into view, head low with a small brown animal in his mouth, and his tail tucked between his legs. Behind him wobbling on unsteady paws was a pup. He stopped about ten meters in front of me and set the pup down. It whined piteously and crawled towards him. Sam didn't look at me nor did he look at the pup. Instead he sat in silence, his gold eyes shamefully looking at the ground. I sighed and picked up the crying pup. I knew this day would come, Paul would blow his lid and i didn't even want to think about Shelby's reaction. Spring wouldn't arrive for at least another three months, and I doubted Paul and Shelby would cope with this for even that long. We met up with the others near the house. Paul was already outside with a surpizingly calm face. Shelby on the other hand was staring at the two pups with murderous intent. Paul met me halfway and took the female pup inside, keeping his eye on Shelby as he did. Sam and the older pup followed us. 'So, whose fault is this?' Shelby said smuggly as she looked at me. 'Shut up Shelby.' Paul snapped. She flinched and huffed before heading out into the snow. 'Paul, it was an accident, I swear.' Sam said. 'It's alright, I know you didn't mean it.' I sighed as he said that, that was one less problem for me to deal with. I was still a bit worried though, with no other females besides Shelby, who of course wanted no part in Sam's mistake, there was no one to feed the pups. My worries slightly eased a bit when Ulrik trotted in with Salem following behind him. 'What's got Shelby's tail in a knot?' Salem asked with a bit of a chuckle in his voice, as if he knew exactly what Shelby was upset about. 'Well would you take a look at this,' Ulrik chuckled. 'here's what's got Shelby all upset, two little pups.' I rolled my eyes, Shelby could be such a drama queen sometimes. 'Enough kidding around, we still have a problem.' Paul said, his voice more serious now. 'He's right,' I started. 'who's going to feed them? And keep an eye on Shelby?' Ulrik barked a laugh, as did Salem. 'Dont worry, we know a few wolves who can help. Salem and I ran into a small pack like us when we ran up north a few days ago. Their alpha just had pups.' Salem said. I pondered over the idea, while the pups were being cared for by the other pack, I could keep an eye on Shelby in case that blond head became filled with any ideas. 'That's a good idea. as long as Shelby doesn't know we should be able to get them up there.' I said. Paul nodded in agreement. 'Ulrik, you take Sam and run the pups up there; Salem, Beck, and I will keep Shelby at bay.' 'Okay, lets get ready before she gets back.' I said before standing watch outside. Hopefully, she wasnt up to anything.
