A/N: This is my first fanfiction ever posted (I've written others, but they were all to bad to post).  Please review and let me know if you love it, like it, hate it, etc.  If I don't get any reviews, or all bad ones, I won't update, so if you want me to continue, please review.  Flames are excepted, as long as you're honest and they're constructive.

A/N 2: There is some mild swearing in this chapter, so be warned (it's not really that bad).  Oh, and Luke does talk to himself again.  IMPORTANT A/N @ THE BOTTOM!!!

Recognition: I'm dedicating this chapter to all the other Wolf Lake writers out there.  Please keep on writing!  I love to read your fics!!  Thanks to all the people at http://www.soapsite.com/wolf/.  Due to their wonderful summaries, I was able to make this story as accurate as possible.  The site is also full of great pics and bios of the characters.  I definitely recommend that you check it out!

Let's pretend that after Luke dragged Sophia to his car, he drove off.  All that happened to the Sheriff, John Kanin, the scientist, etc. happened.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Where we left off:

As Luke pulled up into his driveway, he saw the sheriff's car.  "Shit."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As the sheriff walked out of the Cates' house, he saw Luke walking towards the door.  All the civility and politeness he displayed for V's sake left him.  He reached out, grabbed Luke's jacket and slammed him against the cruiser.

"I don't know why you did what you did, but if you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of my daughter's life."  With that said, he shoved Luke out of his way and got in his car and drove back to the station.

Luke began to continue the walk to his front door.  'God!  What's his problem?  Okay, so maybe I deserved some of that, but still, he had no right-' he was cut off.

'To what?  Grab you and tell you off for ruining his daughter's date?'  Damnit, that voice was back again.

'God, what do I have to do to make you go away?!'

'You can't make me go away, I'm part of you.'

'Yea, whatever, just shut up.'

'Fine with me, I want to hear what your mother has to say.'

He stopped as his hand reached out to open the door.  Shit.  He forgot about his mom.  She was going to have a cow!

He took a deep breath and braced himself.  Then, he reached out, opened the door, and stepped in.  He began to quickly walk to the stairs, hoping to put off the lecture until tomorrow, but he heard his mother call to him from the study.

"Luke, could you please come into my office?"

Damn, this was going to be worse then he thought.

He walked into her office and sat down.  His mother looked at him, and sighed.

"Luke, I just don't know what to do with you.  You've been acting more and more reckless ever since we first found out your father was sick.  Why did you interfere with Sophia Donner's date?"

Luke looked around the room and said, "I don't know."

"You don't know?  There has to be more of an explanation then that.  Why did you do it?"

He looked at his mom and said, "I told you, I don't know.  There is no other explaination."

V sighed.  "Luke, I am the new alpha, many people don't like it, but I am.  I have to earn their respect and prove to them that I can be their leader.  And if they find out about this and think that I can't control my own son, then they'll think that I can't control the pack, and that could be dangerous for both of us.  So tell me, why did you do it?"

"Honestly mom, I don't know.  She went out on a date with that ungulate, and that made so mad.  I told her I didn't want her to go with him, but she still did.  And then she let him kiss her!  All I know is that when I saw them kissing, something inside me snapped.  I just got so mad, and suddenly I couldn't control myself.  I drove up, grabbed her, threw her in the car, and drove off."

"And after that?"

"I was driving kind of aimlessly, and then she started yelling at me and we got in a fight.  Finally she told me to take her home, so I did."

"And then?"

"I just drove around for a while, and then I came home."

"So that's it, there was nothing else?"

"No."

V looked at Luke, arched one of her eyebrows, and asked, "So you were jealous?"

"What!"  He quickly exclaimed.  "No!"

"Then why?"

"I told you, I just lost control."

"Because you were jealous." his mother supplied.

"No!  I guess that I just wanted her to get used to the fact that when she flips, she's going to have to stop dating humans and date within the pack.  I'm just trying to save her the trouble of having to break up with him."

His mother looked at him like she didn't believe him, but moved on anyway.  "So she's going to flip?"

"Definitely.  She's been showing signs for a couple of weeks."

There was a pause.  "I guess that's all for now, you can go."

Luke stood up and kissed him mom on the cheek.  "Goodnight."

"Night."

A/N: Hi again!!  Sorry it's late, but I told you that I promised to try to get at least one chapter out a week.  Besides, I'm only a couple days late.  I had a bit of trouble writing Vivian's character, so I have no idea if it's good or not, so please review and tell me what you think.  Also, please include the following in your reviews:

1) If you think the story flows

2) What you want to happen

3) Any improvements you think I need

4) Your own personal opinion

A/N2: As I said before, I'm dedicating this chapter to all the Wolf Lake writers out there.  I just wanted to say that if you guys stop writing then I have no desire to write because then I have no fics to read.  So, PLEASE! don't stop writing! J Luv ya guyz!!

A/N3: I know by no you guys are getting sick of these, but this is the last one, I promise.  Plus, it's VERY IMPORTANT!!  I was wondering if anyone would want to be my beta.  I don't need one for grammar and spelling, so if you suck at that, don't worry.  I need someone who will read the chapters before I post them and will tell me if they flow good, if I keep the people in character, etc.  Being my beta would give you some benefits.  You get to read all the chapters before everyone else, you get to pelt me relentlessly with e-mails bugging me about how I need to post the next chapter soon, etc.  If you want to become my beta, please e-mail me (addresses listed above) and tell me why I should choose you to be my beta.  Thanx!!
