This is a pure work of fiction and all aspects are from my own imagination though some parts will probably sound similar depending on how much fantasy reading you have done.
If you have any problems with what I am typing let me know but if you are only going to give crappy feedback as in 'it sucks' then go frost yourself and hope you need a new wanker... Now if you have some positive feedback please let me know.
Oh and a few things you might notice, most of the characters are not going to be some hot rockin' stud who looks like Adonis. Can you say over used and over played? Also if I ever have a set of dueling tongues I might just shoot myself. Every time I come across that I can't help but see them facing off at 20 paces with guns and that is just wrong...
I would also like to greatly thank Somaluna for proof reading this and giving me some excellent feedback. I hope everyone enjoyed the last chapter. This one is going to intro some new characters and I hope everyone enjoys them... I broke chapter up into two chapters since the two main sections didn't really have anything to do with each other.

Mari froze for a moment and then sighed and wiggled slightly. "Well if I am going to have a cub, you are the male for me. I have wanted one but not with the dirtbag who used to be our alpha. Having you as the father of my cubs is wonderful. Thank you." If she was pregnant she was going to enjoy having Dan's cubs.

A few days after Dan and Mari had made love, he was on the porch helping several of his pack replace the railing. The wood was old and was starting to crack and the paint was starting to peel off as well. It wasn't worth simply painting over so they were replacing it. He had found the stash of money the former alpha had and they had made a run to town and picked up a bunch of wood and a large quantity of paint. Once they were done with the external repairs, the house was going to be painted and trimmed.
When he thought about finding the stash he had to shake his head. It was built into the side of the desk and was opened by pushing one fancy carving or by banging your head in just the right spot. That was how he had actually found it. He was feeling very frustrated with a couple of his wolves and was beating his head against the desk when he heard a click and a side panel was partially opened. There was a heck of a stash in there and it was easily enough to support the pack for six months.
As he was working a screw into the wood his ears picked up the sounds of someone walking up the road to the house. It would be a few minutes before they arrived so he didn't say anything and waited to see which of his wolves noticed the intruder first. Charles stood up and gave the road to the house a hard look and then glanced at Dan.
Dan nodded and grinned. "Good catch Charles. Let the pack know that we have a guest and make sure the pups are all accounted for." The others were starting to catch on as Charles headed inside to take care of his alphas orders. "All of you need to pay more attention even while you are working. Keep working till we find out what the person wants."
He put the electric drill he had been using to drive the screws in with down and walked over to the stairs and stood there with his arms crossed and waited. When the person was finally visible Dan's jaw damn near hit the ground. He was huge. Even from this distance Dan could tell that. He was probably close to 7' tall and as muscled as Dan was. He had dirty blond hair and striking blue eyes.
As soon as he saw Dan the man slowed down and finally stopped a moderate distance away. "I would like to talk to the Alpha if he is available." For such a large man his voice was fairly light. His head was slightly lowered and he was looking at the ground. His posture was definitely submissive and almost beaten down.
"I am the Alpha and what are you doing on my territory? I don't know where you are from but it is usually a good idea to call ahead when you are going to be on another pack's territory." Dan's voice was hard as he spoke. There wasn't going to be any question that he was in charge and wasn't going to take any crap.
"Sorry sir, I would have called if I could have but don't have the money to make a call." His voice was still light. "I have heard of you from some of the other wolves around here and most everything that I have heard has been about all the things you are doing for your pack. I don't have a pack anymore and wanted to ask if you might accept me into your pack." He had been walking for so long and he was tired and if he didn't find a pack soon he wasn't sure what he would do.
That actually startled Dan since he hadn't really considered adding to the pack though they could use it. "Come with me then and we will talk about it." He looked at his pack members. "Continue working while I deal with this." Dan turned and walked into the house and led him to his office and inside. "Sit. Now tell me why you don't already have a pack and tell me why I should accept you?"
The man carefully sat down and folded his hands together and looked at the desktop. "I left my pack because I was tired of being beat up on. I might be large and scary looking but I am at the bottom of the pack. Since I was little it was allowed for others to pick fights with me since I don't fight back much. I want somewhere that I can live and be myself without being abused. I understand that I am the lowest but does that mean that I am not worth anything? That I am not a person?" He was starting to shiver from fear.
Maybe he should have just stayed a lone wolf. He was large and worked hard so he would be able to support himself but his wolf needed the companionship of other wolves. It was the only reason he hadn't left the pack beforehand. When some of the dominant wolves started discussing the new Alpha in the next territory he couldn't help but listen. Their comments on the changes he was making were fairly vulgar and that alone was a positive indicator that he was probably a good alpha.
Dan leaned his chair back and listened to the man as he was talking. *Mari bring some coffee and a large sandwich please.* He contemplated the man. He definitely smelled and felt like a submissive and having more than one in a pack was always a good thing. "Discipline is one thing, but abuse is something totally different. Nobody deserves to be abused in any way, and it isn't allowed in my pack. I am going to need to think about this but for the moment you can stay here till I decide what my choice is. If I do decide to let you stay it will be on an interim basis till you prove that taking you in is the right thing for my pack."
