''Oh well, you are young enough to meet someone, you're what? 200 years? pfff it's nothing compare to the wolf shifter elder in the Council, 610 years, that's old Dad''

''Honey, i'm not interested on meeting someone, i have my hands full running the pack, the business in town plus i don't want to, so let it be'' my daughter have a vague idea that i'm gay, i'm not in the closet but don't know why i feel old enough for a relationship, well i don't have the energy to start dating, to court him, even to make time for this person i think that i'm fine alone and (...) i will try to change the topic, Lisa will still try taking about but i just don't wanna

''i can tell you that the fight with the old man was tiring, he started blabbering and i remembered not paying attention because of the pain, i just want to finish and sleep like what? a whole year ahaha i wanted to be a wild bear so i can hibernate ahaha but that wasn't the case, by the time i pay attention to him he was saying the usual: 'you and your good for nothing brother are the paria in this county, no pack will let us join them i hate both of you' until something catch my interest because it seems that he was furious and let it escape a tiny piece of information about the papers i remembered i found in his office, it was that project and the whole letters: 'A.R.M.B.E' he said if you kill me ARMBE this, ARMBE that, i don't know what does the initials mean he (...)''

''ARMBE? what the hell does that mean? after all this years have you find out something? let me say that the initials sounds ridiculous'' Lisa was laughing about it

''oh i know hon, i laugh later about how stupid it sounds but i have my suspicions about it and i have to talk about it with Brimm, because it concerns him too, oh and Luca''

''The North Brigde Alpha? why?''

''Look honey, i will talk about it when i'm sure not sooner ok? trust me''

''Oh ok don't worry, and then what? the Alpha realized he made a mistake right ahahah''

''Hell yeah! ahaha when he realized he had just spoken too much he decided to shut up and pretend he hadn't, after that, he decided that fighting was a better option than talking, so he set out to land the first blow and it hurt like shit, he punched me and knocked out a tooth from the blow, I felt sand in my mouth and when i spit the blood the rest of the tooth came out too, at least by shifting i can be able to recover a little but he didn't give me time for anything in the whole fight, i tried to dodge all the blows i could because some part of me knew i was fighting against my father and I refused to fight back; until I realized that I was the only one who could protect Brimm and Amanda from him so, I started to fight seriously and of course he noticed because he told me that I had finally stopped being silly that he felt nothing towards his son because to him i was just a stranger and that i have to fight seriously because only one of us could come out alive of this; closing my eyes and shifting, he does the same and we launched to each other throats, it was kinda refreshing knowing we can fight with all our strenght, we were circling the ring trying to imitate each other, we couldn't take our eyes off, i jump on him aiming his throat he dodge it then grabbed me by the tail with his powerful jaw and threw me into a tree on the other side of the ring, and I fell, I tried to get up but it was hard my ribs hurt and i can't get my breath back, of course he would use it to lunge at me and bite me in the back, i quickly dodged him and bit him on his ankle joint i knew it would hurt him bad, he howl of pain and retreat but i didn't let him so i launched myself again and bit his shoulder but this time i wasn't just trying to hurt him but to bite his leg off and i almost succeeded but i saw his muzzle very close to my throat so I had to pull back; he looked tired and sore from the wounds I had just inflicted on him''

This time Lisa didn't said anything just holding her cup in her hands so i continue,

''He tried several times to attack me but he couldn't because he was losing too much blood but I didn't care so this time I bit him again on his left ankle and I managed to tear it off, he howled and it was heartbreaking, i don't know why my mother came to my mind and couldn't care less for this bastard so i start tearing it off piece by piece; I felt like I'd let out the wild side of my wolf, but no, I was the cause of his bloodlust i want him to suffer, i shift back and did what he did to my mother, i tore his heart out and then i tore his head off so he couldn't howl.''

''Jesus, Mary and Joseph that was one hell of a fight, that was (...)'' She was excited and couldn't stop talking as she walked through the kitchen.

''Bittersweet, i was thrilled i was finally free but it was my father after all, a bastard but (...)'' i admit it was a little bit sad, but fuck, he deserved it

''Ohmygod Daddy i'm sorry i was excited and didn't thought (...)''

''Don't be darling, please, my suffering ended, it is what it is so it doesn't matter now; it was all over so I could go back to my family Brimm and Amanda, I took the old man's wolf's head and started my journey back, don't know how long it took but it was strange to see a bigger house with trees a bit more grown, everything we had planted with Brimm 5 years ago was growing and blooming and i took it as an analogy of our future; As i walk through the woods i remember seeing Amanda sitting on the porch and getting up excitedly from the wooden bench throwing the cup of whatever she was drinking and shouting Brimm's name, i hear things breaking inside the house and on his way out he stood with his hand on the door handle and neither of us could move, I walked to the front porch and threw the wolf head to the side and told him it was all over, with two steps he close the huge gap we seemed to have and hugged me, took me by the shoulders and told me to come in, until then, Amanda also hugged me and told me that they had been waiting for me; As I entered the house I realized what had been broken were dishes in the kitchen but at least dinner was safe, Brimm showed me the house they had remodeled and showed me my room, everything was unrecognizable because they had demolished it and built it from the ground up, i took the first decent shower in years and that made me relax enough to go out and fall asleep on the floor of the room, don't know how many days went by; When I woke up, Brimm was sitting next to me, we talked for a while and then Amanda joined us with food, I told them what I had been through during that time, they end up crying, Brimm said that Jackson and the old man had come to tell him that i had died it occured the first year I was with them and that he should be grateful that it had been me, but he never believed them, at least they stopped disturbing the lands and they never stopped looking for me in the pack lands; From the moment i arrived we became inseparable, they had forged a very good friendship through the years and my relationship with both of them improved with time''

*snif snif* ''They never stopped looking, they were so sweet i can't imagine now how Uncle Brimm suffer with mom's dead too'' *snif*

''We both lost our best friend that day, but he lost a sister that day''

*snif snif* ''Sorry Daddy it seems that i can't stop crying, but what happen (...) ''

''Oh well before that, the pack wasn't happy with me being the Alpha i had to exiled some but others were content, we demolish the main house but not before taking all the things to the warehouse and we build a small memorial on top if it to the people who had perished because of the previous Alpha''

''Oh it's were the wolf statues are? i never imagined that there was a house before''

''We want it that way, plus we want to keep the underground cells and it's well disguised by the little flower field''

''How much time pass before i born dad?''

''Let me think, it had to be 100 years since I became the new Alpha and was reunited with Brimm and your mother, it was a very cold December, we were celebrating and *poof* 9 months later, you were born, the end'' I said as I got up and stretched it's after 12 a.m., time flies

''Ohhh comee onnn '

''Nope, i'm not discussing THAT with you ahaha'' Of course it didn't happened like that, at least the part of the 9 months and the celebration were true, but it was Brimm's fault if he hadn't come to the house with the whisky bottles the tension between Amanda and me wouldn't have dissapeared, that night we were celebrating that Brimm had build up the first clinic in his town so we started dinning and drinking, at some point Brimm left and the whisky plus Amanda's heat cycle plus my 'hornyness' was the perfect formula to bring us together, we weren't romantically interested in each other but God, she was beautiful, i was interested in the baker's town but he was straight so it was just a crush; Amanda and I spend the next week together, it was lust, in some point there was loyalty, trust and love; Time passed and Amanda was pregnant we were happy but Brimm was ecstastic to become an uncle, we know that he was gay therefore couldn't have children, me too but, it happened that i became a dad with my best friend

*gasp*

''Hold on, don't tell me (...)'' Lisa was shocked realizing what i said

''Yes, you had 1 year before that day''

''Jesus (....)'' she sat down and his eyes became watery again

''Now that i thought about that day i think that even the Gods were telling us that something was off, the wind were grim and very windy, the sunset was orange and red but it was early spring and we thaught that it was just a bad day with a bad omen, all the town seem dull and Amanda thought that we should come back to the house quickly we were more overprotective with you, you know? ahaha She cherrished and spoiled you a lot (...)'' I feel a lump in my throat and i have to stop talking before i cry ''that evening you were needy and no one can carry you except your mother, Brimm came over to warning us because he felt the something was off ~again~ and that we have to stay alert, Amanda said that it was probably the winter leaving before spring comes and decided not to pay any more attention to the matter, even though she was anxious; We had an amazing night eating, drinking and laughing remembering old times together''.
