Two days.
I haven't moved I two days other than to go to the bathroom. Someone brought me food but I can't eat. I feel numb.
I never thought of myself as a bad guy. Until now that is. I mean I'm no saint but I love my pack my friends my family. I joke around and have a temper but I never thought I was bad. I need to do something.
I get up and walk to my desk. I begin to write a letter. Then I write it again. And again.
"Dear Alpha,
This is Ryan Quenton Andersen. I fully admit that I have wronged you and your pack. I would like to settle this. I invite you, the women I've hurt, and their mate or father to discuss this. I want to make this right if that is even possible. Please come to my pack house at 5PM tomorrow evening if you wish to be a part of settling this matter.
Sincerely,
Ryan Quinton Andersen"
I fold the letters and place them in separate envelopes. I jump in my car and drive to the Sand Stone pack house. I knock on the door and am greeted by a hulking figure I assume is the Beta.
"You are not welcome here." He says glaring at me.
"I know... please give this letter to your Alpha." I tell him looking down at the ground I feel him staring at me. Finally he takes the letter.
"Leave now." He commands.
"Yes sir." I say and return to my car. Now for Ocean Spray.
Much the same happened at their pack house. No one will touch me because they don't want a war with my pack but they all look ready to tear my throat out.
Knock. knock. knock.
I wrap my knuckles on the large oak door.
"What do you want?" Is the greeting as Jack opens the door.
"I have a letter for your father." I tell him.
"Father doesn't want your letter he wants your blood. Come back when you can offer that!" He goes to slam the door but I stop him.
"Please if he wants blood he may just get it but I need to make sure he gets this!" I beg him.
"Get out of here Ryan! No one wants to see you!" Jack yells.
"Jack stop!" A girl steps out and I can't help but look away.
"I'll make sure father gets the letter... you can go now Ryan." She takes the envelope from me.
"Thank you Stacy." I step away and allow her to close the door. Now we wait.

4:55PM
"Ryan get down here now!" I get a mind link from my Dad.
As I descend the stairs I see a large crowd of men in the entryway.
"Care to explain why I have three alphas in my home son?" Dad asks.
"Please Dad. Give me this." I say.
He looks me over and finally nods. I look at the men in front of me. All are scowling. If looks could kill I'd be a dead man.
"Please follow me." I lead them into the large room we tend to use as a gymnasium, ballroom, conference hall, what ever we need a large room for. I set up chairs for all of them a few hours ago. "Please have a seat." The men grumble but comply.
One of the elders is present. I want to make this official. I want to prove my remorse.
"What are you doing Ryan." Dad hisses in my ear.
"Making amends." I answer. I gesture to an empty seat. "Please sit down."
"Good evening Alphas. I brought you here to apologize for my actions in the last few weeks." One of the men stands up stopping my speech.
"You think that cuts it boy! You say sorry and all is forgiven! Ain't even close!" He yells. I see the girls sitting in the back. All four of them including Lisa with her father.
"I don't believe an apology could ever fix what I've done... nothing can... please let me finish what I came to say then the decision is up to you." The man sits down and I continue.
"I didn't realize the effect I was having on you... I didn't know the pain I was causing... but I don't mean to make excuses." I hear someone say "well then don't!" But I ignore it and keep talking.
"Words can not express my remorse over what I've done... and that is why I've brought you here. I believe that any punishment should fit the crime. I can not judge this because I was not the one hurt. So I will submit myself to what ever punishment you deem fit so long as it will not impare my ability to lead my pack if and when my father determines I am fit... a long way in the future I'm sure." I finish.
The room explodes with yelling, growls, and stomping feet as many men jump up.
"So we can castrate him then. Cuz that's my vote!" One man yells.
"We could just beat him bloody that'd make me feel better!" Another suggests.
"He can lead without fingers! One for each girl he touched."
I look at the ground as they debate my fate.
"Silence!" My Dad yells and the room stops dead. "I've let this go long enough you will not castrate him. Part of being Alpha is producing an heir... all of you are saying what you want but you weren't the ones he hurt! Talk to your daughters then we can discuss this.
I learned that we have 3 alphas one Beta ant two warriors with us. Stacy had found her mate in one of her pack wariors plus her father the Alpha. The girl from Sand Stone's name is Jenny her father is Beta. The girl from the arcade I thought was from silver star like Stacy was actually from Ocean Spray. Her name is Heather. Good thing I sent them a letter just in case. Her father is the head warior. I guess Dad was right all ranking wolves. Lisa and her father look quite out of place amongst such power.
"Mark him!" the Beta finally says. "They say they just want him to know how it feels so the girls mark him. When one fades the next girl goes. Boy may even go insane from it." I can see joy in his eyes at the thought.
"Daddy no!" Jenny jumps up to her father. "I only want to mark my mate not him!" The look of pure venomous hatred makes me look at the floor again.
"How can we make him feel what they do then?" The warior asks.
"I know of a way." The elder says. I wasn't actually expecting him to be involved it was more of a formality but if he can solve this I'm grateful.
"Explain old man." The Beta growls.
"Packs have a mind link that is connected by the Alpha. If all Alphas agree I can connect them one by one with Alpha Rhydian allowing the girls to share their experiences with Ryan. He will live through everything the girls suffered by his hand." The elder says.
The men look at each other and begin whispering.
"Agreed." The Alphas sat in unison.
