Carl vowed not to have anything to do with the people of the pack not even his mother until he becomes powerful to be able to defeat his enemies.

But it has gotten to the stage where he had to call his best friend Dwayne. He know Dwayne was going to be so shock to here from him .

Carl went to the safe were he hid precious things and brought out the paper where he wrote Dwayne’s call number praying silently that he won’t have changed his line.

Luckily for Carl , Dwayne answered ” Hello , who is this?” Dwayne said at the other end of thel phone . His voice still the same as Carl knew.

“It’s Carl ” Carl replied.

Dwayne went silent for a while before coming back ” Carl? ” He asked in surprise.

” Yeah , Carl,” Carl replied.

” How have you been?” Dwayne asked Carl after he finally regained his voice .

” I have been good . What about you and how are the pack activities going?” Carl asked

” Fine . But you shouldn’t have left like that without notice . Your mom has been worried and miserable because she hasn’t heard from you” Dwayne said.

” I’m so sorry . I just had to do what I had to do, ” Carl apologized.” That’s not important at the moment. I need you to help me with some information at the pack ” Carl requested.

” What information is that ?” Dwayne asked willing to help.

” There is an incident that happened in our pack years back . It was about our pack members killing one innocent young man, ” Carl explained.

” I think I heard I heard of the story from my father . I will asked him and see if I can get some information about it for you ” Dwayne said.

” I really appreciate that ” Carl replied.

” Why do you need information about an incident that had happened years ago all of a sudden?” Dwayne asked.

” I just need it to clarify something, you will get to know as time goes on ” Carl said.

“So where are you now ?”

” I’m not in the right position to answer that question and I don’t want you to tell anybody about hearing from me not even my mother ” Carl said.

” Ok , I will keep you updated as soon as I can, ” Dwayne said.

” Thank you very much, ” Carl replied and ended the call. He was a little bit relieved.

Few days later, Dwayne called Carl, telling him that he had gotten the information he wanted. “Carl, I spoke to my father, and he told me what happened,” Dwayne said.

“What did he say?” Carl asked, his heart racing with anticipation.

“It happened that Laura’s father was a friend to a hunter, so that fateful day, Laura’s father went to his hunter friend’s place,” Dwayne explained.

“Yes, go on,” Carl urged.

“Well, the hunter had been tracking a young wolf, and he finally killed it. But the wolves saw Laura’s father there and thought he was the one who killed their pack member,” Dwayne said.

“That’s a misunderstanding!” Carl exclaimed. “Laura’s father was innocent!”

” I think so, ” Dwayne said.

“Alright , thank you very much for this . I will get back to you as soon as possible, ” Carl promised.

It happened that Laura’s father was a friend of a hunter so that fateful day , Laura’s father went to his hunter friend’s place on the day of the incident.

Immediately he entered, he suspected that something was wrong ” what is with the dagger and knife here ?” He asked his friend after noticing there was blood on the tools.

” Don’t worry it’s nothing” his friend said and quickly packed the tools somewhere else.” So where are you heading to ?”

” I just want to go on an adventure though I’m not good at hunting but I just want to give it a try,” Laura’s father answered.

” It is always good to exercise the body sometimes” his friend replied and gave him a hug ” I wish you best of luck” .

” Thanks man, ” Laura’s father said, not knowing that his friend’s saint was already on his body as he hugged him .

Laura’s father went hunting that day not knowing that a pack of wolves were waiting to take revenge on the mountain. The wolves thought Laura’s father was the one who killed the beta’s nine year old daughter because the smell on Laura’s father was also the smell they perceived on the dead body of the young girl.

They didn’t hesitate to kill immediately they saw him , though he struggled but they were stronger and powerful than he was.

Laura’s father’s friend knows the cause of Laura’s father’s death but he keeps mute and behaves like he knew nothing about it .

Carl found it hard to believe the story his friend Dwayne narrated to him so he decided to call Laura and ask her some questions. ” Hey babe, we need to see and it’s urgent” .

“Is it that urgent?” Laura asked, rolling lazily on the bed .

” Yeah I think. It is about your father’s death” Carl said.

Immediately Laura heard the word “father’s death”, the sleep on her face quickly went away ” Any information?”

” Yes , a lot to be precise . That is why I called you, ” Carl answered.

” I will be right there ?’ Laura said and hung up the call .

Laura got to Carl’s place in nothing more than an hours time which made Carl surprised. ” Did you fly here ?” Carl asked.

” Nope , I came in my car” she replied and gave Carl a hug ” good morning baby” she greeted.

” Good morning my love ” Carl answered, giving Laura a kiss on her forehead.” Have you eaten?”

” No I haven’t. I left home in a rush so I couldn’t make out something to eat “. She replied.

” I will just make you a cup of coffee now ” Carl said and went to the kitchen area.
