   Summary

   The day that Mike Wheeler presented as a prime alpha was also the day that everything changed for him and Will.

   OR

   Will and Mike make a promise to each other to never abandon each other no matter who they present as and what happens. But when Mike presents as an alpha, he apparently does everything in his power to go against that promise.

   Everyone says it's for Will's protection. Mostly Mike.
