The Wolf Life

Chapter 2: Everyone He Had Known

                                               "If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf."

                Seeing body after body a single tear from his eye fell. He howled louder than he had ever howled before. He laid there with her for around 3 hours laying with her cold frail body. SNAP! Timber got up to see what had made the noise. He sniffed around to see if he could get a whiff of it before he tried to challenge it. It was the smell of a wolf. He jumped out of the comfort of his cave to see a wolf around his age, female, alone, a flower lay in her ear, purple hibiscus. He can't fight a girl never, even if it was self defense.

"Who are you?" Timber said skeptically.

"Who are you?" The female wolf said aware she was around multiple corpses of her own kind. "Im Destiny, did you kill all of these wolves?!"

"No and I'm quite offended that you would think so..." Timber said about ready to attack. "This is my pack, and might I ask where is yours?"

"I'm the last..." Destiny looked down as a single tear from her eyes fell. "We were ambushed, and I was the one out hunting... Getting food for the young, my pup included. So I head out for the closest sent I could find. Your pack." She noticed the mark on the side of his face. It showed he was with someone... She could spell it out, even though it was a bit faded. N.O.V.A. "Who's Nova?"

Taken off guard Timber looked at her like she had told him there was something wrong with him. "What?"

"Who is Nova?" She asked once more.

"Nova is..." Tears started to fall. "I dont wanna talk about her."

Destiny looked at the body with flowers all around her. "I'm sorry, I didn't know, I lost mine too, his name was John. After he passed I made sure I had nothing to remind me of him. Including the mark, just like the one on your face. If you want I can show you how to get rid of it."

"I didn't think you could... But I'm not leaving her here, not like this. Could her help me bury her?"

"You know it's not gonna keep other animals fro-" Timber couldn't hear anymore of this. He knew she was going to be dug back up again by another animal...

"I DON'T CARE! SHE DESERVES THE BEST. She was the one to teach the pups how to do everything they could, she was nice, kind, car-" Cut off by Destiny, understanding of how he felt. But still couldn't take hearing him talk about her like this. She did the same and it brought nothing but more pain.

"This isn't going to help you Timber, trust me I know how you feel." Timber looked at her confused as to how she knew his name.

"What did you just call me?"

"Timber, that's your name right?"

"Ya but I never told you that... How did you know my name?" About ready to attack not even caring if she was a female now, she knew his name, that was enough for him to cross the line. Timber walked around in a circle trying to find her packs mark. Not all that shocked by what he found, he looked at her, trying to understand why. "What pack did you say you were in?"

"Tsume, what pa-" Cut off once more by Timber.

Timber growled deep in his throat, "Why are you here? How do you know my name? Did your pack do this?"

"Wait, you mean yours didn't do that to us either? We thought that your pack had planned this..." She looked sad enough to believe

"We would never..." Going through other enemies of his own pack Kaiba, none came up other than Tsume.. But the question still lingered in his mind, why was she here?
