Expect the unexpected, it expects you
Arthur sighed, when he came in from his night watch. He would run the whole territory, to make sure everything was okay, even if he could usually feel when something was out of place. He sat on the couch and looked out the window for a moment, normally the night was quiet and he would have been back hours ago. But he felt something off at dinner and when he checked in on Johnathan and Wade before laying with Kara to make sure she fall asleep, he had to know why. It was the normal routine for him and he was expecting something simple/ But what he found was not as simple as he had hoped. His night was spent tracking down a scent he was familiar with but hopeful not to know. But when the night started to show signs of it's end, he decided the scent was not in these territory anymore, so he should just get home before Kara worried.
Wade came down to see his father, he had woken up about an hour ago and came to see what was going on when he heard the door. For a moment, Arthur was unaware he was there, but as Wade got into the living room Arthur sighed, "You should be sleeping."
"I did. I went to sleep when you popped your head in and woke up about an hour ago." Wade reported before he sighed to seat with his father, "Have you? Been to sleep?"
"I just got back." he sighed, before turning to his son, "This is what an Alpha does. When something feels wrong we find out what it is and sometimes we don't sleep for days."
"But I could have helped you." Wade offered.
"You aren't ready yet." Arthur stated before looking out again, "You have a long way to go."
"Because you won't let me. I am a good fighter, you know that and so does the rest of the pack, you just won't let me do anything." Wade sighed, a little frustrated.
"There is more to being Alpha then fighting." Arthur told him and sighed, before he turned back to him, the light of morning coming in. "I allowed you to pick Johnathan as your Beta, I can not be any more lenient than that."
"What does that mean? You told me to pick someone strong and outspoken, so I did."
"I told you to pick someone that you could debate a choice with. You and your mother dolt on Johnathan too much for there to be anything close to a debate. You would yield to him and that is not what and Alpha does and that kind of control is not something a Beta should have. I was hoping for you to pick someone else, not your little brother."
'Well, I did and he is still the best choice to me." Wade growled as he stood up, "I am ready, you just won't give me that chance and you find the smallest things to be picky about."
Arthur looked up at his son, "Do you really thing you are ready?" he sighed, looking down for a moment, "Then I guess we should start the end of your training and see how ready you really are."
"Which is?" Wade asked.
Arthur looked at him, "This afternoon, we will see if you are ready to join the Elite."
Wade looked confused, "Why would I join the Elite, I would command them."
Arthur stood up and looked at Wade seriously, "You can't command a force you know nothing about and even more so, they won't respect someone that thinks that are their leader when they haven't earned the right. Get your brother up and ready, you both have a busy day today." he stated before he left the room, not allowing Wade to protest.
Wade growled as he moved to go to Johnathan's room to wake him. He hated when Arthur gave him orders but he followed them, because he was still just the son of the Alpha, and Arthur was Alpha. When he got in Johnathan's room he jumped on his bed, beside him and pushed him, "Hey, lazy pup, get up. Time to get started."
Arthur sighed as he got to his room and sat on the bed, before he laid down, knowing Kara was awake, he could feel her. But he stayed quiet and waited, she would know he had just got back and she would know that there was a reason he had no gotten to bed sooner.
