The pack kept vigil at Dominic's bedside for three days before he finally passed. He never woke up. Clay tried to be there as much as he could but Jeremy ordered him to keep going to classes, although he skipped ones that weren't absolutely necessary. Antonio tried to handle the funeral but Jermey ended up quietly taking over for him. There was a small ceremony and then everyone went back to the sorrentino estate. They were there less than an hour before Malcolm spoke up. "We need to decide on a new alpha. Mutts get word that Dominic died without a successor and they'll be breaking down our doors." | |

Moderator Posts: 221610 | Ruby had actually stayed with everybody instead of going home. She had taken some time off work and had helped care for Emily so Jeremy didnt have to worry. Emily absolutely hated this and would have rather almost anyone else. | |

"We just put my father in the ground." Antonio said, lifting his head from his hands. "You can wait another goddamned-" "No." Jorge said softly. "He's right. We need to get this over with." "I don't mean any offense to your father, Tonio." Malcolm said. "If it seems that way, then I apologize. I'm just thinking of the Pack. We can get this over with quickly and painlessly, then let everyone get back to mourning a great alpha." | |

"We all know how this works. I'm putting my name forward. If anyone cares to challenge me, we'll step outside right now and settle this." Malcolm said "Challenge you to what?" Clay asked. "A duel? You gonna pick swords or pistols?" Jeremy's lips curved as he recognized his own words from so long ago. "A fight, Clayton." Malcolm said. "To the death. That's how it works when an Alpha dies before the Pack chooses an official successor. Now, the only people here who might have a shot at winning that challenge are you and Antonio. Tonio doesn't want it. You'd make a damned fine Alpha... in ten or fifteen years. If that's what you want, I'll pick you as my successor and I'll make sure you win. That's a promise." Jeremy cleared his throat. Malcolm turned on him before he could get a word out. "Don't embarrass yourself, Jeremy. Just keep your damned mouth shut for once." "No, I don't believe I can." Jeremy said. "You said that this is how we choose an Alpha when the previous one dies without a successor, but I must point out that you are mistaken." "Bullshit. Go grab the Legacy. The last time an Alpha died without a successor-" Malcolm snapped. "-was in 1912." Jeremy said. "And they did indeed choose the next Alpha with a battle. However, there is nothing in the Law to say that's how it must be done. If you read the Legacy entry, it quite clearly states that a battle was how both candidates decided to handle the matter. I am putting forward myself as a challenger but, unless I agree to a fight, which I will not, then the matter must be handled in the same way all Pack successions are handled, by a vote." "He's right." Jorge said. "Do you want to check the Legacy?" "Never mind." Malcolm said. "He wants a vote, let's give him a vote. All in favor of me-" "That's not how it's done." Jeremy said. "We both need to deliver our platforms, let the Pack know our plans for the future-" "If we don't decide this fast, we won't have a future. The mutts will see to that. Everyone here knows you and they know me, and they both know what kind of leader we'd make." Malcolm said | |

"If that's what you want, that's fine by me." Jeremy said. "We'll vote. But, as the Law says, if any Pack member feels he or she isn't ready to make a decision, they have two days to consider the options." With that, a decade of Alpha campaigning came to a sudden end. The vote was open, as all Pack votes were. As the former Alpha's closest relative, Antonio began, by casting his vote for Jeremy. Jorge was next, who also voted for Jeremy. Nick did the same. Then it was onto the Santos family, including Hayley, all of which went with Malcolm. Peter went and pledged his support to Jeremy. Ross voted for Malcolm after some nervous hesitation. Cliff then went and voted for Malcolm. Then it was joeys turn. He opened his mouth, his lips forming Jeremy's name, but he was elbowed by Dennis before he could say anything, who requested some time to think about everything for the both of them. "Oh for God's sake." Malcolm snarled. "Just pick-" "He gets his forty-eight hours." Jeremy said. Then, to Antonio. "Should we continue? Or leave it there?" "We'll keep going." Antonio said. "Anyone else wants time to think, just say so." He turned to Clay. "Clay? Do I need to ask?" Clay didn't hesitate. "No." "Jeremy, then." Antonio said. "Sam?" | |

There is was. A tie. As far as clay was concerned Jeremy had won though. Joey has been ready to name Malcolm and Dennis would vote for Jeremy over Malcolm. After the meeting Joey and Dennis excused themselves and went to the guest house to talk. Although the one-bedroom cabin was for guests, during a Meet everyone liked to stick together, so everyone slept in the main house. The guest one was used for humans and, occasionally, for Pack members whom Dominic chose to punish. When Dennis asked Antonio for the guest house key, everyone knew that it meant they wanted a place to talk without being overheard. That was fine. They were sent off and Jeremy forbade any of the kids from trying to visit Joey and sway his father. This was a choice they had to make on their own. | |
