Sammy waited until the kid had taken the paper from his hand. He felt much more comfortable that he had at least tried to be of some help before he left the car. Hunter had his number now so the rest was up to him. Sammy wasn’t going to push him to make him promise. He knew how difficult, complicated and uncomfortable these kinds of situations could be.

He nodded his head and grinned at the boys small thanks, already walking towards the forest. He knew the place like the back of his hand now and knew it would probably be easier for the kid if he got undressed in the shadows rather than on the roadside.
Still grinning, he took another drag on his cigarette and turned to look at the boy, taking care whilst he was walking backwards so as not to fall over and make a fool of himself.
“So… I have never actually met another wolf other than the ones in my old pack before. I never expected to meet one here either. I guess I need to get out more… Are there many of you here? I mean, like pack… wise?“

Towards the end of his sentence, his eyebrows furrowed. Why had he not thought of that before? How many wolves didn’t travel in packs? Sure, Sammy and Beau were lone wolves but they had their reasons as he was sure this kid did too but what if the kid wasn’t actually alone? What if there was another pack here? Would he get in to trouble for talking to this boy? He knew some packs were very specific about who their own communicated with, his own being the biggest example.

Unlike beau though, Sammy wasn’t one to judge everyone by the odd few that made is life a misery. His expression softened again before he reached the trees and turned back to watch where he was going. Pulling his T-shirt over his head, he chucked it lightly over one of the branches before disappearing in to the darkness where he continued to unbutton his trousers to do the same.

He watched as Sammy started to walk backwards towards the forest, keeping his eyes on the other with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He guessed it would be best to just undress and not risk tearing his cloths into a million pieces.

Well yeah theirs a pack...its called the Somber Falls pack....our alpha is Jack Stone.....I'm surprise that you didn't know about him, alot of the werewolves know about him and there are about eight of us in the pack...the rest are loners or rogues. He said.

He couldn't really reveal to much about the pack, Jack didn't want everything about them out in the open. My alpha is really nice though....his different from your typical alpha.... He admitted with a smile.

He watched Sammy head off into the darkness now, seeing the others shirt suddenly come off and blushed some. He was alittle timid about getting naked around others, it was awkward as hell when he was around his pack mates. He walked into the darkness as hell, standing behind a tree and some thick brush. He took off his own shirt, tossing it over a branch and unbuttoned his pants, taking them off along with his underwear and hung them over the branch.

He bite his lip, closing his eyes and transformed into a medium size copper colored wolf with big brown eyes. He looked around, finding Sammy and trotted over to the other and poked his side before taking off running.

It was strange for Sammy to know there was another pack around the sleepy town he had moved too as even though he had lived there for a few months now, he hadn’t really taken the time to get to know anything about the town or it’s folk. He felt slightly stupid that he hadn’t thought about a pack sooner as he already knew there were certain other gifted beings that lived in the town but wasn’t sure as to how many or what exactly it was they could do. He wasn’t going to fret about it though, not unless they posed any threat towards him or his family.

Unbuttoning his jeans and pulling them down with his boxers so he was standing around stark naked, he quickly flung them over another low branch and grinned at how shy the younger wolf seemed to be. Within seconds he had turned into a large, dark mahogany wolf with thick glossy fur and was sat with his back to the boy to allow him his privacy. Even in his wolf form he appeared to be chuckling. The kids were always shy when it came to getting undressed around others but that soon left with time, once they realised that no one was ever actually looking and that even if they were, they had seen it all before.

He felt the slight nuzzle in his side before turning his head to watch the young wolf run off through the darkness. Sammy made a strange short whine before jumping to his feet and running after the smaller wolf, dodging trees and jumping over fallen branches as he allowed the wolf inside him to take full control. He had no idea why wolves were so playful at times but he didn’t mind as it allowed him to stop worrying about things closer to home and closer to his human form.

The boy was fast, Sammy had to give him that but soon he could see the smaller wolf a few meters away from him. Closing in, he pounced at the smaller one though with only enough force to pin him to the ground where he nuzzled and nipped at his ears and waist knowing it would tickle before jumping back off him and sitting. His ears pricked up as he picked up the scent of something closing in on them, something with much more authority then either he or Hunter had.

Hunter dashed off into the woods, not even thinking that he would run into his alpha or other pack members. He was having fun, just running through the woods like this. He would have giggled if not for the sudden pounce and fell to the ground, giving a playfully sound and yanked at Sammy's ear.

Before he could even get up and return the playful gesture, his ear and nose suddenly picked up a all to familiar smell. Hunter quickly git up, ear lowered some and he went down alittle lower to the ground in a more submissive stance.

Everything had gone down hill with Jack. He had never been so angry in his life before.....even when he was a teenager, that kind of anger was nothing compared to what he was feeling now. He was so sick of Amanda and her bullshit power hungry self and the fact that Mason had a small portion of that toxin made him sick to his stomach.

His cabin was burn down, so the pack had to find a new head quarters and on top of that Jack was practically taking care of Kailah full time along with being on the council. It was highly stressful and sometimes Jack tend to take it out on his pack members, especially when they misbehave.

He was trying not to show how stress and tired he was of everything, but more than anything he was heart broken. Mason had put him through three years of hell....and he was still doing it. He felt like Mason would never grow up or even appreciate all the things that Jack does for him.

Jack had to hire a baby sitter for Kailah so he could get some time to himself. He had not spoken to Amanda or Mason for that matter, not wanting to have anything to do with either witch at the moment. He shift forms, making sure that a stack of his cloths were neatly hidden within the brush before taking off.

He ran for about a hour into the woods till he stopped once he smelt something very familiar and unfamiliar. So, the boy was out tonight but who was he with? He sniffed the air again, smelling something that was similar to the young wolf he had saved a week ago. He thought he heard something hit the ground and trotted over, finding Hunter had lowered himself to the ground in a more submissive stance, but Jack merely lift his large head up, signaling that Hunter didn't have to act like that.

Jack now turned his attention to the stranger than was with Hunter. He didn't like new males all to well, this was one older than Hunter. He growled deep in his throat, warning the other not to try anything. Hunter of course whimpered, pawing at his alpha that everything was okay.

Sammy made sure to place himself between the new wolf and the younger wolf he had felt he needed to look after. He would never forgive himself if any harm was to come to Hunter, not after he’d agreed to take him out for the night and felt the young wolf was his responsibility.
As soon as the new wolf turned his attention to Sammy, Sammy stooped closer to the ground though his teeth bared and his ears were pinned back in a way that told the older wolf to make a move if he dared. Of course, he knew this was stupid but he was in protective mode, the kid’s life being more important right now.

He let out a small whimper to let the alpha know he meant no threat; clearly leaving his last pack had made him socially awkward. Without thinking, he trotted over to the bigger wolf and dropped to the floor before playfully pawing at his face and whining, the wolf in him taking over completely and only wanting to play. He wasn’t sure how the older wolf would take it but at least he’d know that Sammy was harmless.

It seems that this older wolf and him were having abit of a stand off in a more protective mode. He was protective of his pack mates, especially the younger members. Hunter was trying to get Jacks attention, nudging his alpha with his nose and whimpering. Jack kept his dark eyes on the older male, seeing his teeth bared and ears pinned back but he got low to the ground.

The act signaled to him that this male had no intention of hurting Hunter, but at the same time wasn't going to back down from a fight if Jack was the bad guy. He felt the playful pawing and finally stopped growling and sniffed the older male for a moment before looking to Hunter, licking his face.

Hunter got up now and nudged Sammy, letting him know that this was his alpha and that he wasn't going to hurt either of them, unless Sammy tried something of course.

Sammy stayed perfectly still as the alpha wolf sniffed at his fur. He knew if he made any sudden moves it could give of the wrong idea which would turn the innocent playing he had in mind in to something that could be regrettable.
Once the wolf had finished, Sammy rolled over again on to his front and watched the two greet each other, the older wolf being much friendlier than Sammy’s father had ever been. In fact, in his old pack, they rarely greeted each other with more than a simple grunt.

Sammy pawed at Hunter as he got nudged, letting him know that he was ok with it. He wasn’t exactly sure what he should do from here as changing back in to his human form to talk would be a little awkward with the lack of clothes. He nudged Hunter and looked back through the forest the way they had come, signalling that they should probably go and retrieve their clothes now and introduce himself properly.

Jumping to his feet, he took off back through the darkness, every so often stopping to turn and make sure the others were close behind. He loved this feeling, having the cold night air against your face as you ran. The feeling of freedom as you tore around without a care in the world. Reaching the outskirts of the forest again, he slowed to a trot as he circled the branches he had left his clothes hung over. Seconds later Sammy’s human form stood where the dark brown wolf had once been, pulling up his trousers before turning to face the others with a slightly cocky smile.
“Well… now that I can keep my modesty, I’m Sammy. And you… you’re the alpha right? It’s a pleasure t meet you. Hunter and I were just letting of some steam, we didn’t mean to startle you or invade your space. Sorry.”

Hunter was worried that maybe Jack would attack Sammy and he sigh in relief once his alpha simply sniffed his fur and then gave him a affectionate lick. He made a soft sound, one of happiness as he bounded off with Sammy and his alpha followed.

Once the made it back to their cloths, Sammy transformed and Hunter did as well, putting his cloths back on and looked at Jack who was still in his wolf form.

Hunter signaled to him that they should follow Sammy so he could properly introduced himself. Jack thought that might be a good idea and followed the two younger wolves to where ever their cloths were. His own cloths were miles away, so he would either have to stay in his wolf form or shift where their is thick brush so nothing was seen.

They came to a abrupt stop and he sat down on his hunches, waiting for the two males to change back into their forms. He watched as Hunter emerged from the brush with his cloths and then the other male emerged. Jack simply walked to some thick brush and he shift, nothing go be seem from the waist down. He was, of course, much larger and muscular than the other two.

I'm Jack and yes I am the alpha. He said and cocked and eyebrow at Sammy. Do you have a brother by any chance.....you smell very familiar. He added.

Sammy took his T-shirt from the branch he had left it on and pulled it through the belt hoops in his jeans before climbing in to his sneakers. He straightened up to smile at the man that had now taken the place of the huge, black wolf, his eyebrow raising at the fact he had to hide behind a bush. He would have giggled if it wasn’t for the fact the man was an alpha and that could be seen as him being immature which was never allowed in his old pack. That and the man was a lot bigger than him muscle wise.

When faced with the question the man asked, Sammy glanced awkwardly between the two other men with a very puzzled expression fixed to his face.
“Yes I do sir… but I have to say, I’m curious as to why you have brought him up or what he has to do with anything. He’s a good kid… he doesn’t want any trouble, like me. Why do you ask? Has he done something wrong because I promise I will deal with it myself, he isn’t used to older males… and he has his reasons.”

He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to question an alpha so defensively as it would have been followed by a severe beating in his old pack, it had always been yes sir or no sir but since leaving England, his brothers safety had always been put first weather it meant getting himself in to trouble or not.
He kept an eye on the other man now, waiting to see what he had to say and if his younger brother had been causing any problems for the pack of this town.

Hunter decided to just let the two males talk now and sat down, picking at the grass and started to mess with his phone now. Jack knew it looked funny to be hiding behind a bush, but he had no cloths with him and he didn't want to let the stranger see him in all his glory. Hunter had seen what Jack looked like naked, but that was because he was a pack member and their wasn't alt of privacy if you transform into the woods and around other werewolves.

Jack said. I know the boy isn't trouble...he hasn't done anything wrong but these two rogue wolfs approached us and I saved him. He said.

Sammy’s couldn’t help the concerned look that crossed his face as Jack went on to explain the situation his younger brother had been in. How had he not heard about this yet? Had Beau being hiding this from him? He suddenly felt angry with his younger sibling, angrier than he usually got for the youngster keeping such things from him. He could have been hurt or worse, killed. He couldn’t help but think about how terrified beau must have been though and his expression lightened. There would be some reasonable explanation for beau not telling him though Sammy still felt he had every right to know.

He glanced at the floor, using the front of his sneaker to kick at some of the fallen leaves, the anger and betrayal he felt being clearly visible to the others now.
“Well I guess thanks are in order and I must find a way to repay you but I’m sorry, Beau failed to mention this too me. He’s had a bad upbringing and I’m sure the whole situation scared him. I’m sorry for the trouble you had to go through but thank you. I don’t know what I would do if something had happened to him. I… I just can’t be around to keep my eye on him all the time y’know.”

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, brushing it away from his eyes and looking at the alpha with a slightly pained expression. He felt hurt that it hadn't been him that was there to save him and betrayed that his brother hadn’t told him as they used to share everything together but now as he thought about it, he started to wonder if maybe the younger one hadn’t mentioned it as he was worried about what Sammy would do. Admittedly, Sammy had always told his brother that if there were any wolves about they would leave and to never talk or trust one if he ever came across one. He’d only said this to protect him though; he’d never have dreamt Beau would actually meet one.

It was clear that the news wasn't something that Sammy didn't like to hear and he could understand why. Beau still hadn't come clean about the incident that had happened and with the two rogues, but he knew why Beau kept it a secret. Course Jack had to be a adult and tell someone who had some authority over the young wolf what had happened.

I know what had happened to your younger brother, he also told me....about your dad and uncle....and why him and his family moved here......he did open up to me.... He said.

He sigh softly again. It wasn't really any trouble..I am used to fighting off rogue wolves, they are quite the pest in this town and attack young wolves that aren't in my pack. He said.

Sammy allowed himself to slump to the ground, leaning back against one of the trees as he pulled his cigarettes from his pocket. Of course his brother had told him… why else would he have been too scared to tell Sammy. After all, it had been Sammy that had told him not to tell anyone about their past due to Sammy worrying somebody would hear that knew his uncle and then they would all come looking for them.

Sighing, he pulled his lighter out and lit the cigarette, taking a long, slow drag and holding it in for a few moments before letting it out again. This… this was exactly why he’d specifically asked his brother to stay away from the forest, knowing full well the sort of creatures that lurked in them. Of course, he hadn’t known about the pack up until today but he had known there were rouges like himself only they were out looking for trouble whilst Sammy just wanted to keep the peace.

Shaking his head, he turned to look u at the man hat he could just see over the top of the bushes.
“Actually it’s just me and Beau, we to leave our family behind. The people we live with now are distant friends. We call them our family so people don’t get suspicious.”

Taking another drag, he wondered if he should get the man some clothes to wear but felt sure his jeans would never fit the well-muscled man. He looked over at Hunter and watched him picking at the grass for second. “Do you get many rouges causing problems through here then?” He asked curiously, only now thinking about finding out as much as he could in terms of safety in the town.
