Fallen Tear Pack: Deception

Prologue

Crying Cloud's POV

"Oh no!" mother whimpers. I had just taken a mate and I don't know what's wrong. I see nothing wrong with taking a mate, father did, mother did, even my brother did! I thought that would make mom happy, like it did when Storm Cloud told us he chose his mate, but apparently I was wrong.

"What's wrong mother? Are you not happy that I have taken a mate? Father, why do you look like you have seen Fallen Tear? Brother, why are you shocked? Please answer me!" I ask starting to go into a rage.

"I'm happy that you have found a mate, it's just... we have to tell you a family secret. We told Storm Cloud when he was a very young pup because it does not affect him." father says slowly as if he's talking to a newborn.

"Spit it out then!" I bark with so much force I scare myself. I look at mother and father, but they both avert their gaze to the ground. I look over to Storm Cloud, but he's staring at the sky.

"In our family, brother, wolves with long fur can't have pups, and wolves with extra long fur have extra large litters." Storm Cloud says, slowly bringing his gaze back to me. I'm extremely shocked. "You can't tell anyone, not even your mate, Ash Splash." he says. I stare blankly at him. My family gets up and leaves shortly after. I mindlessly get up and head back to my den. Why would they keep such a thing from me?!
