It was another day of school for Erick and for once, he was a bit distracted. Wait, that was a lie. It's not really the first time that he got distracted like this. To be exact, it was the first time that the reason for his distraction was not because of Amber, but someone else.
Erick stared absent-mindedly at the board, not really seeing anything as he listened to his teacher drone on and on about the history of literature.
Although he was distracted, his hand was still writing whatever the teacher talked about. Then again, he wasn't sure whether he got them right since he didn't even look at his notes.
Hamish, who was sitting next to him, sneakily peeked a glance at Erick's notebook and stifled a laughter as the latter's handwriting was illegible. He took another glance at Erick's face and noticed how distracted he was.
'What's wrong with you?' Hamish asked Erick, using a mindlink.
Erick jumped, startled at the sudden mindlink. He turned his head towards Hamish with wide eyes and replied back in the mindlink. 'Why the feck are you using this?'
'Because I can and I want to,' Hamish answered back, looking in front as if he wasn't talking with Erick at all.
'Won't you be weak from using the mindlink?' Erick asked again, using the mindlink.
Hamish inwardly rolled his eyes. 'It's not as if I'm going to use it everyday. So, anyway, just answer my question. What's with you?'
Erick ran a hand through his hair in frustration as he thought of his plans. 'Nothing. I just… I don't know what to do.'
'About what?' Hamish asked.
'Dane.'
Hamish went quiet and then continued again in the mindlink, 'Didn't you say about collecting his souls?' he asked again.
'I did. But I'm not confident. I don't know what to expect.'
'The unexpected is always scary,' Hamish replied. 'But don't worry. I'll go along with you and Noaz.'
'It would be dangerous. I don't know how much had changed since I last went there,' Erick said, referring to the Kraken Forest.
Hamish went quiet again and then he spoke up again, 'Bro, I'm going to be your future Beta. If I can't cope with helping out with my future Alpha, then what use am I as your future Beta?'
Erick inwardly chuckled. He was glad that Hamish was his best friend as well as his future Beta. There was probably no one who could understand him and has his back like Hamish does.
'Thanks, bro,' Erick said in the mindlink.
'No problem. Now, get your mind off the clouds because you were chosen to present what we were currently studying in front of the class.'
Erick's eyes widened in surprise as he shook his head out of the daze. It was then he realized that everyone in class was looking at him with bright smiles.
"Welcome back, Mr. Kendall," Mrs. Evans said sarcastically with a fake smile on her face. "So nice of you to join us." She then walked closer to Erick's desk and c.o.c.ked an eyebrow when she saw his 'notes' with his 'superb' handwriting. "Very diligent of you to write notes. I don't think I can read those so perhaps you can come up to the front and present them?"
Erick cursed under his breath. "FML."

The Police Headquarters.
Lachlan was skimming through the many reports that had been placed on his office desk when he heard someone knocking on his door.
"Come in," he said, without raising his head.
Fergus entered with a solemn look on his face. He stood in front of the desk, waiting for Lachlan to acknowledge him. Moments later, Lachlan placed the sheet of paper on the table and looked up at Fergus. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"It was as you said, Chief," Fergus reported, with his hands behind his back. "The other day, there was a suspicious man coming over to his house. And according to our sources, they were in his study room for more than two hours. They couldn't get near for fear of detection."
Lachlan narrowed his eyes at Fergus' report. "I see. Continue to keep an eye on him. With the elections coming to an end in less than a week, there's bound to be trouble popping up," he predicted.
Fergus nodded. "Currently, they are setting up camp at the mall, trying to boost up their campaign," he continued.
With both of his elbows on top of the table, Lachlan placed his chin on his linked fingers, his face looking thoughtful. "Did something happen when they were at the mall?" he asked again.
Fergus shook his head. "Nothing. Other than requesting for more police patrolling the area."
Lachlan nodded. "I'll leave that to you," he said as he stood up.
"Yes, Chief."
Lachlan nodded again. He then grabbed his jacket and said, "I'll go around the area and see first."
"Yes, Chief!"
Few minutes later, Lachlan was standing beside his police car as he watched the scenes before him. He was at the mall where the campaign for the mayor was held. At that moment, there was only one candidate who was actively conducting his campaign at the mall.
He watched as Zant was walking here and there, helping out with the volunteers. He was laughing at something one of the young volunteers were saying.
Lachlan then walked over, just as Zant turned his head around. A smile bloomed on his face when he saw Lachlan approached. "Chief!" he greeted, holding out his hand for a handshake.
Lachlan shook his hand and nodded. "Good morning, Mr. Zant," he greeted back. He then looked around him and was amazed at how amazing they have done with the place.
There were tables being set up just near the entrance of the mall with posters lined up, covering the legs of the tables. The poster was a picture of Zant with his fist up, looking energetic as he talked, standing behind a podium. Most of the volunteers were young, some were even Erick's age. They were talking animated among each other as they held up the posters. Loud voices coming from their speakers could be heard in the background. It was Zant's voice, where he talked about the good opportunities he will bring to the town if he was voted as mayor. There were also talks of motivations and more.
Zant stood beside Lachlan as he, too, watched the youngsters working. "Aren't they great?" he asked with awe in his tone. "They are quite amazing. I'm glad that they were willing to sacrifice their time to help me with their campaign. After all, these youngsters are the people whom I'm doing this for. They are our future."
Lachlan just nodded.
Just then Fergus and a few policemen came over. The former nodded first at Lachlan and then to Zant. "Good morning, Mr. Zant," he greeted.
Zant immediately held out his hand for a handshake which Fergus accepted. "Howdy there, Vice Chief." He then guffawed. "I'm feeling mighty flattered to see the top people in the Police Force in my campaign."
Both Lachlan and Fergus just smiled.
Fergus then turned to Lachlan and gestured at the young men behind him. "These are the men that will help with the patrol."
Lachlan studied the four policemen and nodded. Two of them were from his pack so he was familiar with them. While the other two were human. Not everyone in the Police Force knew about their heritage of being werewolves. Including these two.
Lachlan turned to Zant and said, "I wish your campaign goes well."
"Thank you, Chief."
He then turned to the other policemen and ordered them to be cautious and to take care of themselves. He then used the mindlink to give additional orders to the two packmates to be on alert at all times.
"Yes, Chief!"
Moments later, Lachlan headed over to his police car, followed by Fergus from behind.
Inside the police car, Lachlan was at the driver's seat while Fergus was at the passenger seat. Lachlan drove them a few metres away from the mall before voicing out.
"Any other updates about that man?" Lachlan asked, his eyes on the road.
Fergus shook his head.
"I see."
"Hilliard will be at the park in the afternoon at 3 o'clock," Fergus reported.
Lachlan nodded. "I'll be there to check things out. You continue on, getting more information on that man," he ordered.
"Yes, Chief!"
