It felt like my paws were going to ignite the forest floor as we ran from the clearing with the black wolf and his mesmerizing electric blue eyes. We had no idea we had come so close to a territory. Callisto was strangely happy we found the wolf, but I could not disagree more. We had been seen; we could be in danger. We zigged and zagged thru the forest to ensure our scent trail crossed over each other as many times as possible for as long as possible. About an hour or so later we found the stream and jumped in, following it back towards camp. The sun was long set, and the moon had risen in the sky.

I saw the campsite up a head, so I found my way to the bank of the stream and shifted. Entering the camp Enzo and Ember were already awake and talking, while Seth was still curled up sleeping. I went and sat next to Seth scratching his head and behind his ears and he moved his head to rest in my lap.

"Is Bruce awake? We need to talk." I asked him. He nodded and stood stretching himself from the forest floor. It was taking a toll on all of us. After traveling in the Onyx Rainforest, we thought we would be used to forest floors, but nope. It still sucks. Bruce came into the camp a few minutes later and we all sat around the little campfire that Fern had used her majic to start. I was surprised, she had not used any majic since we arrived. Interested as to why she is using her majic now I put the questions aside now was not the time, I looked up at my family and explained about my dream, about my failed hunt, and how Callisto acted, and what I found emphasizing on how close to a pack's land we were and what that could mean for us.

I noticed that Bruce had a curious look about him, and his aura was happy, feeling he was genuine relaxed me, yet he seemed to be holding something back, I cocked my head at him, and he simply shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Another thing to set aside and deal with later. I talked about how I ran across my own trail, and found the stream to kill the trail, but it would only confuse for so long if we stayed here much longer.

Fern then told us about what she had seen from the treetop, it was good news that we were closer to the mountain, but I was trepidatious about the direction. I did not want to come into contact with the wolf territory again. I was not about to end up in some jail cell being tortured for information as a rouge. We decided that we would all follow the stream with two on each side. This way we would be able to use the creek to hide our trail if necessary. We packed up and split up Ember & Enzo; and Bruce & me. We crossed the creek and started to make our way in the direction Fern provided.

We walked all night long, and Callisto was dodgy the whole night. Every time I asked her what the hell, she was thinking about exposing us to a wolf. A wolf on their own territory no less, all she would say was she knew we were safe. That we are looking for civilization, and we had found it, yet we were going the opposite way. She continued to grumble until she finally fell asleep. We had come to a point in the forest where the trees where thinning out, so we decided to make our camp a way back in the forest to prevent anyone from stumbling across us. We set up watch again and I laid on my forest bed and stared at the trees as the sun climbed higher in the sky. Every time I saw the sun or the moon since I got here, I felt warmth, like I used to feel when I was little, and Trisha would hold me after I was scared.

DREAM

The night sky was clear the stars were sparkling brightly. I laid on my back and watched as Lunara crossed the sky, it was not the same as it was before, she felt so distant. I missed her love and warmth. I feel it so strongly with Solara, but I know Lunara loves and misses us. I look over to see my love, my heart, my mate smiling at me. He reached out and caressed my cheek. I lean into his touch, his warm hand upon my cool skin filled me with such love. I twisted myself so I was laying on my side facing him. I study his face, the striking blueness of his eyes, his long dark chocolate hair covering one of his eyes ever so slightly. I ran my fingers along the side of his face tucking the stray hairs behind his ear. He pulled my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on my palm sending shivers down my spine. His hand then found its way to the back of my neck drawing me into a soft kiss. I melt into him, laying my head on his chest listening to the strong beat of his heart. My mate runs his hands along my body, leaving a trail of warmth from his soft touch. His hand lands on my stomach which has only just started to grow, showing this new world that we had created a life. I placed my hand overs his and closed my eyes. With Callisto's help we could hear the humming sound of our pup's heart. Smiling I opened my eyes to see strong electric blue ones staring back at me. Alaric had his head tilted towards my stomach and the smile across his face told me he could also hear our pup. Leaning up I capture his lips with my own and pour my love, my happiness, and my desire into it. I feel him shift and I am under him. His smiling face is all I see before he tilts my head and buries his nose into my neck, where the delicate patterns of our mating mark lay. Remembering the night of our marking spikes my desire for him, and I hear the rumble of my mate as he trails his hand further down to pull the hem of my dress up. He started slow as always, ensuring I was fully ready to accept him into me. I was breathing heavy and I could feel my hair sticking to my back from the extended orgasms my mate had already given me. As he positioned himself to enter me, a smile spread across his face and he leaned down kissing my forehead, the tip of my nose and then my lips, soft feather kisses, I tried to roll my hips to meet the needed part of him that was just out of my reach, and heard him chuckle, leaning into my ear he softly whispered that all good things come in good time. I shook my head and was about to protest his persistent teasing, when he entered me in one fluid motion, causing my eyes to roll back into my head. A moan of pure extasy escaping my throat. Once again my lips are tangled with his as my mate makes love to me under the once watchful eyes of Lunara. As we came to the crescendo of our starlight love making, a warm light filled the clearing.
An ethereal voice floated on the breeze coating me like a warm blanket.
