a/n: As I mentioned before, this story will be a series of flashbacks and then flashforwards of what happens when little Billy has grown and the remaining Volturi return for revenge.
Flashbacks will be in italics like the prologue (which was future, lol...sorry for the confusion) Chapters will be short and drabbly. :)
Enjoy!
FULL MOON II
CHAPTER ONE
Nessie is worried for our son. It's the only reason she's allowed me to get involved in this.
Oh yeah. I admit it. I'm totally owned by my wife. Most men don't have the balls to say it but they know it too.
I had stopped shifting, stopped patrolling, stopped everything to be everything for my girl. We've had an amazing fifteen years of marriage, four pups, and many of our own wonderful adventures.
I don't regret a minute of it.
But running like this … it's like nothing else. My fur is but a blur as I speed through the forests. I don't hear my son's mind … he's either shifted back or is still too far. I suspect the former. I don't believe Billy would leave these woods … not that quickly. And my mind stretches pretty damn far as Alpha.
Sam retired many moons ago and since I left the pack had been running as a team without a leader.
It worked for patrolling but not now … not now that there's a threat.
Alice has seen the oncoming storm. The war is coming to our doors once again.
My Nessie is so full of worry and anxiety. Even the twins feel the tension at their tender age of four. Their mother would never let any harm come to her cubs. She wouldn't live through it.
I know this.
Billy must be found.
My rest is over and it's time to run again. I send an update to Seth so he can reassure my bride and then I'm searching again.
I catch his scent near the cliffs but it's faint. I follow it to the nearby river.
"Finally."
He looks up at the sound of my voice. His face full of determinaton and teenage tenacity.
Damn, I feel old.
"Billy. You're mother is worried."
Billy's face softens and he looks down at his feet.
"I'm sorry … but … dad, I can't help it … this … I need to fight."
I nod in understanding and move closer.
"I know, son. It's part of your inheritance. You will fight, but for now, you will return home."
I turn on my commanding Alpha powers … I hate to do this to him, but I have no choice. I can tell he feels it and he's angry once again.
"Go home, Billy. Now."
"I hate you." he spits, before changing and running back into the woods towards our house.
"You'll get over it." I sigh and change too, running after him.
Teenagers … such fun. I send up a silent apology to my deceased father and make my way home.
