Chapter 25

Alkane POV

The two of us enjoyed the night for not only do I feel like Riz will finally leave me alone. But also, finally confessing my love to Takeshi. And from that point on, I believe that we could finally get together without any problems. Well, can't really say without but it would be nice if that's the case. The morning soon came and almost all the pack members woke up quickly. The reason why is because mating season is almost over (thank goodness), and for those who are still searching have to get up early. Those who already have a mate or already mated, can rest until the next few days. Father is even taking only a few to just scavenge for any fresh meat.

I for one is enjoying the best sleep, but my heat was starting to bug me badly. And thanks to that I had to wake up early. I noticed Takeshi was still asleep and to be honest its rather quite the scene. Looking at his muscular body. I guess it must do with his change, but who knows maybe all males do it to. Man, just thinking about it is starting to turn me on.

It wasn't long before Takeshi starting to wake up. He looks up to me with a smile like he had a great time.

"Morning Alkane, sleep well?" he asked.

I responded, "Yes big boy, and you?"

"It was great, thanks for asking." was all he answered before getting up and stretching out his body.

I tried my hardiest to keep my thoughts from rising my heat but just looking at him strectched out wasn't really helping.

I soon tell him that me and Jane are going out for a walk for a little bit. Then if he has the time, we could have some fun, and then well let's just say after what I said after fun…he was really blushing hard. But his response was that he wasn't sure that he's ready.

"I just…what if we have kids. I know nothing about being a father. So…I'm not entirely one-hundred percent confident."

I just took a deep breath and said "It's alright, I'm not going to force you if you are not ready. Besides, you got the easy part and that would be the mating, hunting, and gathering part. While I do all the hard part."

"By hard you mean laying the eggs, making sure that they all hatch…"

"Keeping them from getting into trouble, all that nice stuff." I finished.

Takeshi rolled his eyes before continuing "Hey, you don't have to do all of it. Maybe we can work something out. Like you watch the kids for that day something like that."

I soon thought about and answered "Yeah, I guess that could work, but let's not rush it. When we both feel like were ready. Then well do it…deal."

"Deal." Was all he said before licking the side of my check.

Takeshi soon took his leave to help Razor and the look outs while the rest of us tried to either enjoy the restful day or mate like crazy.

Jane and I just avoid the conflict as much as we can and start talking about our future. It was a lot of fun and just hearing some of the other females being mated is kind of pleasing but I didn't let it be too much of a distraction.

It took around have the day for everyone to get finished and for the moment it looked like to be a relaxing day. But I'd noticed that the day did started out a bit cloudy and the wind was blowing but not too hard. It's not until now that it started to pick up but not to any danger or anything.

The look outs soon came and told father that something is coming. Takeshi soon explained to him that a storm may hit the island and it would be best if we find a new home. Father wasn't to keen on it since we been living here for a long time. But from what Takeshi is saying this storm is going to be strong and deadly to all living things if not taking any caution.

"Are you sure about this? The last thing I want is us being left opened for an attack." Asked Phantom.

"I'm positive, the sooner we find shelter the better and I know the perfect spot."

He takes a few minutes and soon agrees to the idea. Without any hesitation, he orders everyone to get ready to move. And if anyone needs to do something to make it very quick. I soon offer to make sure that everyone was alright and ready to go. While Razor and the Lookouts, look ahead to find a quick and safe route to the building. What's been bothering me is that I haven't seen Riz. I mean he has purposely bumped into me, threated me, and even telling me that Alkane belongs to him.

Just thinking about it just makes me very unhappy. But he'd backed off which is good cause the last thing I want is to start a fight. Especially when a storm is on its way. Without a warning, the wind started to pick up very fast, so fast that debris started to fling in the air.

"Alpha!" shouted one of members "We need to start moving!"

"We can't go, until my son and his group comes back." was his response.

"WHAT IF THEY DON'T!?"

"They will…"

I soon found Alkane and Jane stalking about something. I went to her to make sure she was feeling alright. And the look of worry was all I needed to see.

"Were can they be?" asked Alkane "There usually not this late, I mean they been late before but not for this long."

"Maybe the coming storm is delaying them and they are taking extra caution."

Jane soon followed up "They could be it but at the same time it's kind of odd?"

"How so?" I asked.

"Well, we've been through a lot of what you call storms a lot and they normally find a safe route by now. But from the way you put it that could be the case."

Alkane started to pace back and forth for a while until finally saying "That's it I can't wait any longer somethings not right. I'm going out to look for them."

She soon started to walk to Phantom and the two of us started to follow her as well. As soon as we arrived to him. The group was about to lose their patients with him and the look outs. I didn't know whether we should interrupt him or not. But Alkane didn't care for she was determined to find them.

Alkane soon got his attention and responded, "What do you want I'm kind of in a middle of something."

She answered, "Father I believe something bad happened and with your permission…."

"Denied." Interrupted Phantom. "I know they'll be back just have to give them more time…"

"Look around you!" shouted Alkane "Everyone here is getting impatience and in my belief its better if three or four of us go scouting for them…."

"Listen to me young lady, I am the alpha and your father so I say no and wait for them!"

"Yeah, if they even come back in the first place. Look I am just as worried as you and everyone else. But its better if we find shelter quickly and a small group goes looking for them."

"And I know you are going so no and the answer is always no."

Alkane soon got impatient with him and to be honest I'd never seen her act like this…ever. The kept on going back and forth. Repeatedly they argued until Alkane soon shouted, "STOP TREATING ME LIKE A CHILD!"

That really got him silent for a moment and then said, "How dare you raise your voice on me."

"No, I am sick of it you treating me like a little child! Ever since mom died you'd been like this. I am happy that you and Takeshi are starting to get along but it's time to face it. Plus, I have Takeshi and Jane with me. Jane knows the areas where Razor goes and Takeshi has kept me alive ever since we first met."

Phantom stayed silent and soon realized that he was beaten for Alkane had proven her point. This caused him for the first time (for me that is) to see him started to shed a tear. I am on his side since he did almost lose her but I also understand that Alkane is a young adult and has made safe decisions (mostly) before.

I soon joyed in the conversation along with Jane trying to help Phantom understand that this storm is coming in quickly and the last thing we want is to get us lost or even killed. He agreed, and let the three of us go, while Phantom and the rest go to that building that I showed him when I was trying to tell him the truth. Thankfully it's not that far from here and we soon departed.

Alkane POV

That felt good but I also felt kind of bad for doing a stunt like that to father. I get it that he doesn't want me hurt but Razors out there and I want to make sure that he's alright.

Takeshi and Jane followed me and we continued walking in search of the look outs. If they are still alive that is. But I am not the one who gives up to easily. We search everywhere that the look outs would be but for some reason they're not there either. This was starting to worry me badly until, I started to pick his sent up and…as soon as I realized who was also with them I immediately started to run as fast I can.

"Alkane wait up!" shouted Takeshi with surprised and tried to follow me. Jane was not too far behind me.

His sent was getting stronger and stronger so I started to slow down a bit. Not knowing of how far I went away from Takeshi and Jane. I remembered how Takeshi and I hit from that Carnotor and did the same. I spotted Razor but he was having a hard time standing and was scratched and bruised up badly until I see Riz just ram into him. My blooded boiled as I see Razor fall to the ground and Riz was about to get ready to kill him. I had to think of a plan and fast.

Without thinking I shouted out "RIZ!" and got his attention.

"Alkane what a surprised." He said from a distance.

I thought insults was the worse he could do but know this…he is going to be a dead raptor when I get my claws on him. Though just straight up attack him is straight up suicide since he is a lot stronger them me. I must play with him to get a good hit on him.

OK RIZ I said to myself as I started to walk up to him you are going to get it. And this time, I will make sure father knows about this. And It's like I said before….NO MORE .
