Chapter 11 - Family

Family is supposed to be the best of all, not to mention that family doesn't have to be blood-related to be considered family. Family is believed to have each other's backs no matter who or what the situation is with the pack. Not all packs have decent family connections. Some are brutal with each other. Some Alphas do wars for greed and status. Her father and grandfather were always the most honourable and caring alphas she has ever known. Jazmin knows not all packs have that same luxury with their alphas, and she knows it all too well. 

"Ashton? I have a question." Jazmin said in a calm tone with a wondering expression. 

Aston perks up at her voice; it always catches his attention so effortlessly. "What is it, love?" 

"I was wondering if you have ever had encounters with rogues and Alphas who mistreated others for greed and status?" she said in an honest tone. 

Aston paused to recall those encounters over the years as he had met many packs, including packs of rogues. He was taught that even rogues can be very unmannered, regardless of whether in a pack or not. Now, not all rogues are terrible wolves, but some are downright, utterly vindictive. Aston recalls some of the times he had seen the ugliest sneers on the faces of rogues and Alphas alike. Along with some of the warmest, brightest Alpha smiles. 

"Well, Jazmin. I have had a lot of those over the years, some of the nicest to some of the meanest of the ones I have met." Where was she going with that question, he thought. 

"Did you ever save anyone from the vindictive Alphas?" she questioned him. 

Aston reminisced on a memory of his father in a standoff conversation with a very rude Alpha when he was just a little boy. The Alpha was very angry and threatening towards Aston's father that day. He doesn't recall why they were in such a heated argument at the time. He started to wonder if his dad remembers that day. Aston started to question if he should ask his father about it.
