Everyone from the pack has to go every weekend for training. Who wants to become warriors have intense training and all others have basic self defense and fighting training.
Dale attends basic training, but Ruth and F4 attend intense training. After 18 years, every member has to attend a watch routine. Once a week you have to participate in watch. The F4 started their routine from 16, they're good fighters and John(command of warriors and father of Ruth and Micheal) doesn't want to give them slack. The pack is not small but they have a huge amount of area.
Dale has called for sick, John has ignored studious members' workouts absence, because he knows how much he trains them, they are not going to be the fighters for the pack and they don't have to be. They will serve the pack in their area that's why John gives them slack in training.
Cody was waiting for his oxygen. He knows he can't train with Dale but he can see him doing his exercise and can touch him accidentally if he makes the right move and chooses the right place while combined exercise, but Dale never showed up at the training ground.
Cody waited for the whole day, he was pace out whole time, other F4 have noticed his moody behavior but they didn't comment.
Generally after workout and training all members play football but today Cody said no and seats on the bench as an audience. His whole body was shivering, it's not yet noticeable to anyone else but he knows his body is out of control. He knows the medicine but he doesn't know how to get it.
He was in audience but he didn't know what actually happened on ground after game, he didn't meet anyone, he directly came to his room and take shower, he think shower will make shivering go. After shower he ate something from fridge and go to sleep, after long time roof staring, sleep came to him but early morning he wake up frightened, he saw something in dreams, he doesn't remember dream but feeling was depressing, he starts missing his oxygen source, it's too early still he get ready and started walking towards training ground because he knows, he can't go to sleep back.
Noone was there at the training ground, he started running, after some rounds he did warm up exercise, people started to show up and all joined him.
John order for combined exercise, Cody knows his oxygen is not here, his eyes was scanning every new entry in field, so he knows. After exercise, there is combat for warriors and Cody is very enthusiastic members of combats but today he was extra aggressive. Other F4 get him out of there and started asking questions, Cody stood there in silence, he knows he may have hurt someone in combat practice, if he just loses his control, he can lose his alpha position for this. He said sorry and make "not feeling well" excuse and that was true, he have fever, his body temperature is rising and and his body is shivering.
Michael checks his body temperature by touching, it's high so they walk him pack dispensary, both doctors was not there because it's weekend but nurse was there, Cody don't want to go through all check up so he just ask tablet for temperature and took it then and there.
John called his son Micheal to ask about their disappearance, he told about Cody's temperature situation, Micheal knows Cody is going through transition, he is going to be Alpha in a month, this transition is not easy, his body is changing and his mind needs peace. And all F4 members are serious about training and combats so John gave them this time slack, they left ground without any notice still he ignored it. Combats are not the same without them so he releases all warriors early.
Every Sunday the pack canteen hosts big dinners and lunch parties. Every other day there is regular food, and pack members eat there but Sunday is a feast. And Alpha and Luna personally start the feast. All warriors and family attend feast, few families like Dale's enjoy their weekend in house.
Dale also joins the feast when he comes to training.
But today he is not planning to leave the house for anything.
All was in the feast mood, Cody played along because he didn't want further inquiry from F4, his temperature was down little but shivering was still there but don't want others to know that. This time they will not let me go without convincing explanation about his behavior, he was behaving strange whole week and he knows so he was pretending having all fun in feast.
After the feast they go to their houses.
Cody felt the temperature rising again, he took a cold shower and decided to sleep but sleep never came.
At the feast someone mentioned Cody's presence in the dispensary to Luna(Cody's mother) so she came to check on his son.
Cody pretends to dead sleep, Luna touches his forehead and neck and he has a high temperature.
Luna knows this is a transition period and sometimes it's hard on alpha, she thinks it's better if father talks with him and asks him if anything is wrong with him or he wants any information about transition.
She decided to talk in the morning on the breakfast table about this, he had medicine so letting him sleep is the best option.
Cody was laying on his bed the whole evening and night, he never left his room he took two more cold baths and lay there.
He decided to find his oxygen in the morning and have his way with him. He can take Dale to the back side of the cafeteria and hug him like last time, not a big deal. Noone will notice, and it will be fine like last time.
