Chapter 40 The Call Of An Alpha

Arriving home, Marcus asked Julianna to wait on the front porch with Harrison and Tia since he knew something wasn't right from the moment they got there.

He could hear the sound of Joshua panicking from the moment they walked up the path way.

Cautiously, he entered the house, preparing himself to console his best friend about whatever was troubling him. Shutting the door behind him and looking straight in front of him, he saw Joshua, a trembling mess, slumped down against the wall in the hallway.

"What happened?" He asked, a lump forming in his throat as he kneeled down and placed a hand on the blonde boy's shoulder.

"I..I...I...c..couldn't st..stop it, Marcus I..I tried, but...you're gonna hate me." Joshua cried out, barely able to speak.

"Bro, calm down...it's okay. You're okay. I'm here and I will help with whatever you need...now take slow deep breaths and then tell me what's going on." Marcus reassured, handling it the best way he could.
