Ten years later~

A single snowflake descended from the sky just to land right in the tip of my snout. I shook my reddish brown fur, making melted snow fly out from my fur coat. It felt good to be a wolf. I was free, powerful, and overall in control.

"Simon!"

I took in a large breath and closed my eyes shut. Ever since I got married to Brittany, my life was turned and made to do the same thing over and over. It was the same boring routine which I dreaded and regretted. I can't be one minute by myself when that woman I have for a mate, comes and ruins everything.

"Simon there you are," She came out from some bushes in her wolf form. She was a plain ordinary gray one with just plain amber eyes.

Why did I had to be mated to someone so bland?

"What. Do. You. Want?" I hid my anger and frustration with a force grin, revealing all of my sharp teeth.

"I thought we could spend some time together," It came out more in a question.

"I just left you five minutes ago," I could feel the corner of my mouth start to twitch.

"Well yes but you know I feel lonely," she started to make circles with her paw in the snow.

"Why don't you play with the six kids we have?!" I barked.

She flinched back and her jaw started to quiver.

Ughhh not this again.

"I'm sorry Brit it's just," I walked over to her and nuzzled her neck fur, "I have too much stress going on."

Partially was true.

Ever since I became the true alpha of the pack, So much responsibility landed in my hands. Other nearby packs tried to take over, some of my people left, bills, bills, and more bills, and then I have the other job of an alpha and that is to be a father.

Of six boys.

I had so much in my hand that I felt age starting to hit on me. My pack was slowly falling apart all because I slacked off a few years. What can I say, I was a teen.

"You barked at me," Brittany's lips still quivered and her voice cracked on the verge of spilling tears out.

"I said I was sorry," I groaned.

"Yes but it hurt. In here," She placed a paw where her heart was located.

"How about I make it up to you tonight?" My voice came out husky.

"Y-you want to go for the s-seventh?"

"Argh Brittany not this again!" I snapped, all my patience washing out from my face.

"Come on Simon!" She sat down, "You never please me no more."

"I am busy," I gave her my back.

"I want to try again. For a daughter," She ran up to me and faced me.

"No is NO."

"But-"

"No Brittany! What in no don't you get?! Do you want me to say it in spanish???? It's still NO!"

A small whimper escaped from her as her tail went in between her legs and she stared at me with fear in her eyes.

"Factory is closed," I mumbled and started to walk away.

Knowing her, she will probably cry all through out the day and whimper in her sleep all night, bringing the conversation back up the next day.

It has been like this for the past ten years of my life.

I ran through the snow back to the pack house, turning back to my human form. The main doors for the entrance opened as I arrived.

"Everything okay alpha?" Bodyguard Mathews asked, handing me a robe.

"Yes. Make sure Brittany gets back home and get the kids back in from wherever they are. Whatever you tell them, please do mention all of them to not disturb me at all," I instructed him.

"Even your mate?"

"I said all of them." I walked up the stairs to my room.

*****

"Hello? Lydia? It's me Simon," I spoke through the phone.

"Ah Simon Ivan Hawthorn to what I owe this honor of you calling me?"

"Um yeah look I know we didn't end well but how about I prize you tonight, hmmm?"

"After ten years?"

"Yeah how about we do some catching up and catch up with the good old times."

"And what makes you think I am still available?"

"Oh come on Lydia, you are so fake that all the men just find you as a piece of meat to play around with. No one will be that serious to have a thing with you other than you know what," I told her.

"Just a piece of meat to play around with huh?" She let out a small chuckle.

"In a good way of course."

She hung up on me.

"Lydia? Hello Lydia? Lydia?! Argh bitches!" I threw my phone across the room.

Just when I felt like ditching my own wife for just a day, I have some woman reject me.

Who is crazy enough to reject me?!

"A-Alpha?"

"What?!" I turn back.

My door was half open with a peeking Julius. He hesitated to come out but eventually came out.

"S-Si-Simon w-we ha-have a-a-a p-prob-problem," he stuttered.

"What is it?" I frowned.

"T-the-the t-there is an a-an-aaang-ry-"

"An angry what?!" I snapped.

I remembered a few years back in the highschool in the janitor's closet where Julius and I had our small meetings in our so called office. The last time I recalled, he ran off leaving me in the dark. When I finally became alpha, I punished him every single last thing that he ever broke obedience towards me. Even so I trusted him, and that we were young, he still needed a lesson to learn. If I wanted my pack to obey, I needed the closest to me set an example as well. Since his last punishment-which was him walking barefoot in fire- he somewhat turned into a stuttering freak.

Which drives me crazy!

I pushed him aside from the doorway and headed downstairs. If I wanted things done, I had to do them by myself.

"A-Alpha y-you c-ca-can't go o-out-outside!"

"Why not? Can you tell me that without your stuttering?"

"....."

"I thought so."

I skipped the last two steps and confronted Mathews who had his back against the front doors with his arms spread out and sweat beading on his forehead.

"Can someone," I turned back to Julius and shot him a glare, "Other than Julius tell me what the heck is going on here?!"

"Angry mob," Mathews gritted his teeth as the doors were being banged.

I ran to the nearest window and peeked from the curtains to see more than dozens of people with pitchforks and torches being held in the air.

"Old school style I see," The corner of my nose twitched.

My hands shook as I frantically searched in my pockets.

"Alpha I...I can't....hold on...much longer!" Mathews rose his voice as the yell from the people got louder and louder.

"What do they want?!" I panicked.

My hands got a hold of a cigarette and quickly I lit it up and started to smoke with uneven breathing.

"W-what a-are y-youu doing?!" Julius got to my side.

"Smoking what else?!" I snapped.

"B-But t-t-the m-mob!"

"I don't know what they want!"

"They want freedom!" Mathews yelled as a pitchfork managed to go through the doors.

"What on earth is going on?!" Brittany rushed down the stairs.

"What do you mean freedom???" I demanded an answer from Mathews.

"The people...they've gone mad because...because you have gone in dictator mode!" Mathews winced as another pitchfork sleeked through the doors.

"Simon!" Brittany gasped.

I swallowed a huge puff of smoke and started to choke on it. I did not and have not gone in dictator mode. All I have done was cut all technology and electricity from my pack, limited food supplies, and told them where to be, who to be with, what to do, when to sleep, and obey my rules.

Is that too much????

"Simon you have to let them go!" Brittany tugged on my arm.

I threw my old cig away and pulled out another one.

"Simon do something!" Brittany snapped.

"Shut up woman! I'm thinking!"

"Hurry up before they destroy all of us!"

"I said shut up!"

All of her talking, yapping, and yelling wasn't helping me concentrate. If anything, she provoked my mind and body to panic. I just wanted my pack in control. I was just fed up with my people leaving to a different pack and I was just worried for any more traitors. Other packs want to see me fail but I am not planning on any time or sooner to show them failure from me. There was no way I am going to let my pack go.

I slapped a hand on my face and dragged it down. I honestly had no idea what to do without letting them leave the pack.

"You should let them go!" Brittany ran to Mathews side and started to help him with the door.

"Are you crazy?!" I finished my second cig and went for the third one.

"Do it Simon!" Brittany, Mathews, and Julius all said it in unison.

"Over my dead body! I do not take orders but make them!"

"Simon!"

Another pitchfork went in, almost getting Brittany from the side.

"Arghhh​ just get away from the door and let them in!" I pointed with a finger.

The doors to the entrance was opened as Brittany and Mathews got to my side. A huge group fell on top of each others as the door went wide open.

"Get him!" They all shouted.

I simply shot a hand up, making everyone freeze in their tracks with their pitchforks and torches held in the air.

"Simply tell me what do you want," I spoke.

"Let us go!" The people shouted.

"Get."

Everyone's face turned baffled and confused among themselves as my one word left from my lips.

"Woah that's it?" One of them spoke out loud from the crowd that went in complete silence.

"GET BEFORE I CHANGE MY FUCKING MIND!" My voice echoed the whole place in a roar.

Everyone dropped their weapons to the ground and started to cheer as they walked out from the big doors. The last of the people waved at me before the door was slammed in its face.

"Damned all of them," I muttered as I started to walk back up the stairs.

"You did the right thing," Brittany followed behind me.

"Right?!" I turned back and faced her, "Now I'm an alpha without a pack! How do you think this makes me look like to the other packs competing against me huh?! Thanks a lot Brittany!" I stomped away leaving her in shock and in tears.

Just when I arrived to the top, a marble came rolling out. I turned to the side to see all six of my boys looking at me with wide eyes and gawked mouths, piled on top of each others like bricks.

"Wow...." They breathed in amazement.

I don't even know in what.

"To bed now!" I growled.

They yelped and all scurried to their rooms.

Another cigarette I pulled out as I heavily breathed into it. My whole pack was now destroyed and I have to start at zero to get what was rightfully mine. All because I had to listen to my woman.
