3RD POV
The Clearwater house was still a mess. Even though the glass had been cleaned, the door covered as well as the furniture, there was still a brokenness to the house.
As soon as Seth saw his mother he ran to her and hugged her, crying into her shoulder. His sister Leah sat beside them on the couch and a moment later stood up to join their hug, a few tears slipping down her face.
Charlie Swan stood at the front of the room, his eyes red. He had been told that Leah and Seth took out their grief on the house and ran away. He didn't need to know the truth.
"Harry Clearwater," he started, his voice choked up, "was one of the closest friends I've had. We were going on, what?, thirty years?"
He stops for a moment and looks around the room, "He was always there for all of us. He was a friend, a husband, a father, a protector. He was always up for a good weekend of fishing or hunting." He chuckled, "remember when we went about three years ago and we thought he got a monster! Turns out it was just an old cooler full of beer." That got a laugh out of a few people, "although it wasn't completely wasted, we drank good that night, boys!"
The room cleared up after that, people giving their condolences before leaving. After about thirty minutes, the house was empty except for the Clearwaters and the pack.
Sam stepped forward, "I think it'd be best to explain all of this at my house." He smiled at Seth, "Emily made steak."
Seth's eyes brightened and Roman smiled a little at the sight. Paul punched his shoulder, "Simp."
Roman playfully glared and grabbed his head, giving him a noogie.
"Ahh! Rome, stop! Yield, yield! I yield!"
Roman let him go, laughing. He only had a second to brace himself though before Paul pounced on him, pushing him to the ground.
"Oof!" all the air rushed out of him as Paul lay on top of him.
Jared smirked at him, "Dogpile!"
Rome's eyes widened as he looked at Sam who was laughing, "Jared, don't. I'm warning you."
Jared just laughed and flopped on top of Paul, followed by Embry. "Ugh. Just wait until we're outside."
They all laughed, "You know," Paul started, "Your muscles are surprisingly comfortable. Is it from surfing? Cause damn." Roman just rolled his eyes and laid his head down.
He opened them a few minutes later when he felt even more weight on top of him. He groaned, "Not you too, pup."
Seth was now sitting on top of Embry's back with a small smile, "it looked fun."
Roman just smiled and laid his head back down until Sam ordered them to move.
"We'll meet at my house, that sound good?" Sam was looking at Sue as he said this.
"I don't have Harry's keys."
Roman dug in his pocket, "you can take mine. It'll be easier than running back for it later."
SHe took the keys and smiled at him, "Thank you Roman."
He smiled back before looking at his new pack members, "So, what are you two gonna do? You gonna shift or are you just gonna ride?"
Leah clenched her jaw, "I wanna run." Seth looked at her for a second before agreeing.
"This'll be fun." Paul smirked as he walked out the back door taking his shirt off. He quickly shifted into his grey and white wolf.
He started strutting around as the rest of the pack came outside. "Showoff!" Roman yelled.
Leah and Seth looked a little nervous, "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. In the meantime, just think of something that makes you really upset or angry."
Yeah, just think of your dad, it shouldn't be too hard. Paul chuckled from where he was laying on the ground.
A moment later he was pinned by a large black and white wolf. Roman bared his teeth as he growled, Do you have any common sense, Paul?
He was using his alpha voice and all the pack bowed their heads in submission, have some decency for once.
Paul whined, baring his neck. Roman growled once more before getting off of him, go tell Emily we're coming. And if i hear anything like this again...
Paul bowed his head, yes, alpha.
He quickly turned and ran into the trees, his tail between his legs.
Roman shifted back and turned around to look at the pack, "That goes for all of you, got it?"
They all nodded, including Leah and Seth. Seth.
He looked terrified, although he was trying to hide it from behind Leah. It seemed they had already shifted.
"Lets go." Roman said as he shifted. Sam nodded at him as he passed, you'll make a good alpha Rome.
Thank you.
Roman waited until everyone was in front of him before speeding up to pad alongside Seth.
Are you ok?
Yes, he replied, but i could hear what was going through his mind. He was scared.
Its alright, pup. Quil said as he came up to the other side of Roman, He's all bark and no bite.
Although, Jared gave a wolfish grin, he probably wants to bite you.
Roman nips at his heel, causing him to yelp and fall. Seth starts to laugh, or, whatever it is wolves do. We're here.
Sam and Emily's was much the same, although, in place of muffins was a big stack of steak.
Roman smiled at Emily, pecking her on the cheek, "Thank you, Em." she smiles and returns to the kitchen.
Roman turns to see Paul sitting on the stair, he waveshim over. "Come on, Paul. I don't want to hear you moaning about being hungry later."
He gives a small smile and joins the pack at the table and makes himself a plate.
Jared is already on his second plate, "Oh. my. God." he pointed his knife at Sam, "if you don't marry this woman, I swear."
"Agreed." Said Quil, while the rest of the pack nodded, including Leah. Roman watched as Leah walked towards the kitchen where her cousin was still making food.
They appeared to talk for a moment before Emily pulled her into a hug and they laughed.
Roman turned back to the table to find Seth watching him. He raises and eyebrow and smirks when Seth quickly looks away.
He quickly finished eating and waited for the others.
Once the pack was done eating and Sue had joined them, Roman went to the bathroom and got the scissors, "Its time. Who wants to go first?"
"I will," said Leah, she was still standing by her cousin by the island. Roman pulled out a chair for her and handed Collin the scissors while Jared went to get the tattoo stuff. Once Leah was sat down and ready, Rome went to stand by Seth.
He bumped their shoulders, "You ready?"
Seth looked at him, not quite meeting his eyes, "Not really." he laughed.
"You'll be fine. It's over quick. I mean, if Jake can do it, you definitely can." they both cracked up at that and their eyes met.
"You know, Seth, you're supposed to stay on the board not jump off it." Roman was laughing as he helped pull a drenched Seth out of the water.
Seth shook the water out of his hair,
getting it all on Rome, "Ha ha. Shut up."
"Here, you have to make sure you're balanced. Like this-"
"Seth! Are you ready?" Said boy quickly jerked his head away to find the pack watching them. Paul and Quil had big smirks on their faces as Seth passed them and they came to stand beside Roman.
"Hey, loverboy."
"Shut it, Lahote."
"You guys-"
"Roman," it was Sam, standing by the door, "come on."
With that, he stood and walked out the door, flipping the bird to a laughing Paul.
