The next morning Marcus awoke at his usual time, which was before the sun rose . He was alone in bed . This was unusual these days . Either in his apartment or her suite, he had her beside him and she liked to sleep late . He took in the scents and sounds of his apartment and realized he smelled coffee and she was definitely still in the living room . He dressed in his normal black shirt and grey trousers and headed to the kitchen for coffee .

As he was moving through his living space he could see her leaning against the lone window that looked out over Clan Home . It was twilight yet and the area still had a fog that had rolled in over night . She looked pensive . Grabbing his favorite Alpha Dog mug he filled it with coffee and joined her . She didn't look around or acknowledge his presence in any way . Just looking out over Clan Home . Setting his cup aside he put a hand around her hips and pulled her bottom back against his hips . "What is it?"
With this she leaned her head back against his shoulder . Her whole body relaxed against him as if to let him take away a burden . "I am probably going to have to go away for a few days . Want to come with me?" She wanted him to go with her and she didn't at the same time . She was going to have to kill and it was going to be ugly . Cally looked up at his chiseled face . Raising a hand she stroked his jaw tenderly . "Never mind . You have a lot of work going on right now . I can handle this . It's just I will miss you while I'm gone . "
Marcus was giving serious consideration to going but she was correct it would be difficult to leave right now . "Where are you going? And for how long?" Cally looked back out the window as if she could see where she was headed . The night was giving way to lighter blues and grays as the sun rose behind them . "Somewhere in the Middle East . I'm not a 100% sure where yet . I'll know more when I am closer . How long? I don't know how long it will take yet because I'm not sure where he is . I think he's moving around quite a bit . "
"A mad wolf . " It was a statement on his part . Why would she go otherwise? "You need back up? Weapons, transportation, supplies, just name it . " Marcus rubbed his face in her hair for a moment while his hands splayed across her lower abdomen . "I can shuffle some things around and come with you . Do you know who it is?"
"En, Yes, I know . " Cally sighed from the bottom of her soul . Turning in his arms she put her arms around his neck and stared deeply into his eyes . "He's a few hundred years old, smart and cagey . He's been an Alpha for centuries . Taking people with me will just be troublesome . I don't want to stand out to the regular populace more than necessary . The best way I can think to take him out barring blowing him up from a stealth bomber is close quarter combat . " She loved this man . She had loved him in more than a couple lifetimes . Losing him again would be like a knife to her soul .
Placing her hands on either side of his face, "My Beloved . My beautiful beloved Marcus . I was being selfish . It would be best if you stayed here . " Marcus tightened his hands on her arms, "Are you actually trying to protect me?" He asked with more than a hint of displeasure . "No . Hm, yes maybe . " She dropped her head on his chest and just let him hold her . After a minute she said,"Not the way you are thinking . It's one of your pack members . You should probably call your Father when you get to your office . He should be aware of the situation by then . " Looking up, she gave him a sad little smile . "Please don't hate me . " Cally gave him a quick kiss on the lips before leaving his apartment .
