Alpha Blake

Chapter 35 A Second Chance-1

Blake and Tyler make their way back inside his grandfather's house. The sweet aroma of food

invades their nostrils as both men followed by the rest of their small group followed behind.

His grandpa stands at the wood fire lit furnace. The pot on top is bubbling and simmering. His

grandfather grabs the spoon and gives it a last stir before taking it off the hot top. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Placing the pot on top of the counter he greets all the boys and waits for them to sit. One by one,

he serves them a good heaping of food in a bowl each. Quietly, peacefully, they eat.

"I was sure I wouldn't see you until tonight. I'm glad to see you boys back so early. I have been

worried since the moment you left." He lifts his head looking around towards the boys.

"Please! Help yourself to seconds if you'd like. I made plenty of stew for everyone. "

"Thanks, grandpa. I really appreciate it. We were starving."

"So! Tyler, it's good to have you back safe and sound."

Tyler glances at him, a melancholic smile on his face. They all know this isn't over. Though he is

safe now, they all know that the battle is still to come. And though they dread to think so, someone is

bound to lose. Someone is bound to get hurt, and worst... there will not just be bloodshed, but lives will

be lost.

Silence becomes a favorite among them. They sit quietly. All men looking down towards the floor,

from time to time one or another steal a quick glance at the rest. Yet, no one shares to speak.

Blake stands, slowly making his way to a nearby window. Looking out onto the beauty of what

surrounds them. Nothing but a tremendous and beautiful sight of mountain life!

He's startled by the sudden appearance of a great white wolf. The wolf stares back at him. Their

eyes interlock, unable to look away, to move, to speak.

He mind links the wolf. Surprised by his response.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Blake demands.

"Your highness. It is an honor to finally have you back. We have been waiting for your return for

over a thousand years. We are indeed honored to see you." The wolf vows down inclining one paw

down and prancing away. Leaving Blake startled and confused.

He looks towards the men and stares at his grandfather who smiles at him, squinting an eye at

him. He looks back outside and to a mountain top.

Realizing there are more great wolves next to the white wolf. His once-over crossed over hands

now down to his side.

Making his way outside, everyone looks at him, but like always... they dare not question his doing.

He steps slowly towards the top, glancing everywhere but nothing insight.
