Chapter Five

"So, who was she?"

"Kiera Yearwood. James Yearwood's niece, I suppose."

"Did she know to keep out of the woods?"

"Ya know, I didn't ask her that, Jack. Want me to run after her to ask?"

"Mark, don't be a smartass" Jack said with a blank face. Mark just shrugged his shoulders as he pulled on his shirt. Mark was Alpha of the Cresent Moon Clan, Jack was his Beta. 

Jack had short steel grey hair and bright blue eyes. His skin was pale, his parents originally being from Ierland, and his body frame was slim but he was quite strong and agile. He was around Mark's height, if not a bit shorter and his voice was a tad bit high pitched at times. Mark, on the other hand, had short dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He had olive skin and was a moderate muscular, his father was German and his mother Korean. His voice was deep and smooth, but tended to get deeper with a harsh tone when he was pissed off.

"Regardless, I think she knows to stay out of the woods now" Mark said, casually shrugging. Jack looked doubtful, but just nodded. He rubbed his face and soon heard his wife call, him running off to her once he bid farewell to Mark.

Mark chuckled as he watched his Beta hurry off before he himself went to room in the Clan's cave. Actually, I guess you could call it more of a tunnel system, since it ran all through the forest and had one main entrance/exit, but many hidden exits in case something went wrong. Mark rubbed his face and sighed softly, sitting in a chair at a table and opening his journal. He grabbed his quill and ink, opening the leather bound book and writing the date. He breathed in and the out slowly, thinking about earlier.

He had been following a scent when he and Kiera had their...altercation. He had been out at the pond, thinking about when winter would come. He's been Alpha for five years now, yet he hasn't found a female suitable enough to be his Luna and mate. He got a proposal from the Blood Rose Clan last month from their Alpha. The proposal was that if Mark married his daughter, he would have resourceful allies and land. Mark had been wanting that land, since it was an actual town and not some tunnel system in the forest.

Today he planned on sending the Alpha a letter agreeing but...now for some reason he wanted to tell the Alpha no.
