The Wolf In Me

Two days have passed since the day we were going to be attacked. I kept wondering if I should inform the other alphas and ask them to join me with the rest of their packs. The only problem was that the place needed to be bigger to let more join us. This place could only hold a few hundreds.

Dad pushed the door open and stood at the entrance looking at me as he waited.

"May I?" He asked.

I motioned for him to come in. He closed the door behind him and sat down. I was on my office chair writing down some statements and organising papers.

"Do you think we should start preparing for when the time comes?" He asked.

"What do you mean dad? Aren't we?" I looked at him frowning.

"We are preparing the pack, that's right. But how about preparing for when they return sooner than expected?"

I looked at him silently for a while.

"I was just wondering if I should tell the other packs to join us soon. The only problem is that we do not have enough space for everyone here," I showed him my concern.

"Well. I know of a larger place than here not so far. It has been abandoned for a long while since my childhood to be exact. My father used it last when we were in danger. It is wonderful and spacious enough for all the wolf packs to join us. I am sure that it holds thousands of wolfs. If we send some people to clean it and freshen it up, it will be as good as new."

My eyes stared at my dad's.

"How about showing you where it is?" He smiled, showing me the key.
