"Okay, I give. You wanna tell me what's going on?"
"Henry found my dad."
"What! That's awesome Rose!"
"So while you were gone Jesse and I had breakfast then headed to the office."
Locklin was there talking with your dad."
"That sounds pretty normal, he is alpha, and dad was previo-
Dad has high ranking here and is his mentor."
"Well when we went in there, he seemed pretty pissed."
"Hmm, did you hear what they were talking about?"
"No, Jesse was in my ear the whole time, so I didn't pick it up."
"Ahahah ya that doesn't surprise me. I think he has a little sweet spot for you."
Shut up."
"I wouldn't worry about it."
He's probably all worked up that I dropped in like this."
So tell me what you found."
"Well, your dad showed me a newsletter of a council meeting that took place in 2003. There was a photo at the bottom of the attendees and my dad was there."
"That's great Rose!"
"Rose?"
"It's been so long, I almost forgot what he looked liked."
"You want to tell me why you turned down alpha?"
I'm gonna kill her."
"Y....you don't have to tell me if you don't want too."
"Noo..
I guess it's time that I tell you. After all, I know everything about you."
"I'm not sure what Mandy told you, but I need you to understand my point of view."
As you know our dad was the previous alpha of this pack, which essentially means that I was next in line to take over. I spent many days in that office, going over our packs foundation, history, and analyzed everything he set in front of me. But one day, I came across a journal, of how our pack was founded."
"It was founded in blood."
This pack is the result of a war that happened by the hands of my great great great grandfather. He went mad and would stop at nothing to claim what he thought was rightfully his, and if you showed resistance he would do anything and everything to show his power. Many shifters died and lost their loved ones. Even powerful bloodlines became non existent thanks to him. I remember reading this and feeling absolutely disgusted that our packs ideology was built on the graves of people who fought for what was right. I couldn't comprehend, if I was ever put in a position like that. I wouldn't be able to send others to their death on my behalf. So I started to fight against my father's wishes. I acted up, and cared nothing for the alpha role. It got really bad between us the last few years, and that's when I decided I would live outside the pack house and live a more human lifestyle. That is until I saw you."
"I don't care to admit it, but I missed it here. Dad seems to have dimmed down the resentment a bit, but deep down I still feel his disappointment. It's been years since I've seen him dive down into his books, so I have you to thank for that."
"You have no idea how special you are to me do you?"
I think I do."
"We'll call you if anything turns up. In the mean time, keep digging and don't get into any trouble."
"Whats going on?"
"Ah yes, that makes sense as to why dad left."
What you are hearing Rose is the crazy phenomon called....procrastination ahah."
"No really, what's going on in there? It seems to be everyone's out rushing and running around.?
"It's the eclipse tonight, and here at the house is when everyone gets together for a celebration. What you are witnessing is last minute details. Probably at my mother's request ahah. Shes hardcore when it comes to that. It's funny, we've been here for almost 2 months now and you haven't really seen her yet."
"Your dad said she's a busy body and is constantly doing something. Even he barely gets to see her."
"I'm sure you'll see her at some point, she'll be running around barking orders as usual."
Be prepared Rose, this thing can get pretty wild as it lasts a couple days."
Com'on, let's see if anyone needs help."
"Oh! sorry about that Rosalie, I didn't see you."
"No, it's ok don't worry about it."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"She's made herself useful today."
I like her!"
"No."
Not like that..how many times do I have to say it....."
"Gah! my back."
"Ahahaha ok I give! I give!"
You seem in a good mood."
"Well, wouldn't you be? By the looks of it this is gonna be a treat! Did you see the bon fire yet! It's huge!"
"Well we better get ready then. There's gonna be other packs coming to join the festivities, and its starting in a few hours."
"Ready!"
"Alright..here help me up will ya."
"Rose!"
