CHAPTER 11

T he days flew by, with Mark not sending any message or report about the status of his mission. The entire pack was worried. Some of the city dwellers came periodically to give reports on what they had all been able to gather in town, but no one had anything concrete to account for the whereabouts of Mark, Jasper, and Raymond. Neither could anyone convey the status of their mission nor the level of information they were able to gather.

Back at the Naltice Settlement, as it was fondly called, Shane was trying his best to keep it together. He was in the greatest state of confusion. He could not leave the cabin or the woods to look for Mark in town, as he was constantly needed to attend to pack affairs alongside William. For the days when no one heard from Mark and the team, he usually kept to himself as he ensured the smooth running of affairs and the preparation for war. He only spoke if he was spoken to, and tried to avoid long conversations, as he did not trust himself not to lose it at any point. He was a symbol of leadership within the pack and he was not ready to jeopardize that due to his inability to control his emotions.

He sat by the lake one afternoon as he thought about Mark. He was the only one who ever understood him sometimes, his anchor. He had been trying to keep it together for the previous days, because he knew that there was no one to bring him back from the edge if he lost his calm. He noticed William walking towards him by the lake and tried to hide the forlorn expression on his face. William sat by him and held his hand, trying to reassure him that all would be fine. He was assuming the position Shane always served to him now, and was trying to be there the best he could for the older man.

“He’s alive, Shane, you know that, right?”

“I don’t, William, and you don’t. Nobody knows that. The only ones who can possibly know that are Mark, Jasper, and Raymond, and whoever has held them captive! And even Mark will not know that if he’s dead! You know, you can’t ‘know’ you’re alive if you’re dead! ‘Cause you’d be dead! So you see William, nobody really knows anything here!” Shane yelled, raising his voice. He was sure he could lose his cool when William was around, without the alpha judging him.

“Another hunting party will be sent out to sniff through the city for him, okay?”

“Another hunting party won’t do shit, William! We both know they won’t find shit! They only ones who can find any vital information are us. And we can’t leave, not at this point!” As emotional as Shane was, he was still being practical about the safety of the pack. He knew that Mark was just one man, and no matter how much love he had for him, he was not ready to undermine the importance of the pack’s safety for his personal concerns.
