Soulmate

Chapter 19

Kurog ran into the forest with Jenna starting to catch up to him rather rapidly. He didn't run, not really, more like he was waddling awkwardly around the thick tree trunks. The blonde reached his side and slowed to a fast paced walk. The dwarf huffed loudly, he was insulted and didn't hesitate showing his annoyance. Deciding that it wasn't worth it, he went to a walk and glared at Jenna. She still had red eyes from the crying and sniffled a couple of times. They walked far at a fast pace. Using Jenna's hearing and smelling abilities, they managed to go around most vampires without a fight. It seemed as if the vampires were too busy with killing the other wolves to even bother with them at all.

"Where are we going, Kurog?" Asked Jenna with a hint of curiosity peering through her grieving.

"Does it even matter?" Grunted Kurog. The blonde frowned and slowed down to a stop. "Yes." Jenna's voice was harsh, and the dwarf sighed and turned around to face her with an annoyed face. "Where are we going?" Insisted the woman.

"To meet the others." The short man turned around and walked away. The blonde woman was shocked from his words, and looked at his sideways.

"How in Hell do you know where they are? I can't even detect them from here..." Jenna squinted her eyes at the dwarf, who kept quiet. "Fine. But don't expect that I'm letting you get away with this. I'll figure this out, and I'll find out who that person was too."

Kurog flinched at her words, but he still refused to speak. The silence stayed for the rest of the long walk. Crows stared at them from the top of the branches, and their croaks echoed for miles around. It was a haunting feeling, a silent forest. As if it was holding its breath.

Soon enough, the two of them reached the rest of the group. Alpha Louis and Luna Della were cradling their wounded son, as Maria and Klaus talked anxiously. The moment the two women saw each other, Maria and Jenna ran into each other's arms, the blonde falling to tears on her friend's shoulder. Klaus stood behind the two women with a sad smile, as he waited for his hug.

"I'm glad you are okay!" said Klaus to the blonde. "I was so worried for you."

Maria looked at Kurog and gave him a faint smile. "I'm glad to know you're safe as well, Kurog." She spoke politely, yet the woman meant her words heart fully. The dwarf's face brightened up a little, to darken once again as if his thoughts had taken hostage of his mind again. The four of them stared at the Pack Leaders.

"What do we do now?" Della looked up to the small group, and she fell into deep thought.

"Louis, where did you park your cars?"

"My cars?" The Luna nodded. "Well, I'm guessing that they aren't too far from here, since it was only a thirty-minute walk, give or take." Calculated Louis. Della gave him a nod, and stood tall. She winced as she accidentally stretched her injured shoulder. Louis stood beside her and stared at her while she spoke.

"This is the plan; Klaus and Maria will help my son to walk, and Jenna and I will scout in front to make sure we will not meet any of those bastards on the way. Louis and Kurog, you two will stay behind and fight, if ever there is any need." The Luna clapped her hands, and all rushed to their posts. Maria holstered the half conscious Nicholas to her side as Klaus supported his other side. Nicholas' head rolled around limply, but at times, he would mumble or groan in pain. Louis cocked his gun, and Kurog whipped out his axe from its holder.

"We will keep in touch as wolves do." Said the Luna to her husband. Louis was impressed with how she handled her authority, and when she leaned in for a quick kiss, it took everything in him not to follow her. Jenna quickly shifted to her wolf form, and jumped into a lope, leaving the rest behind. Della's silvery fur disappeared along with Jenna's pale one, and Maria and Kurog started to walk, holding the Future Alpha.
