"All I've ever wanted was you."

Amelia's POV

My small pack of rogues trailed me as I ran towards my home. My heart pounded and I raised my head in triumph the wolves behind me howling in joy.

Julius was in pup form, my jaws gently holding his scruff.

"Alpha Amelia, how much longer? Linx is losing strength." I glanced over at Blaise, a young gray wolf's yip. The teenager had picked up his pace to match mine and I turned my head a bit to see the old ebony wolf, Hank, was tagging our group. With a growl I slowed my pace until we'd stopped.

Julius yipped as I placed him on the soft grass. I sighed and nuzzled his side.

I padded over to the panting elder and he bowed his head, "I'm sorry Alpha, my old body can't keep up for so long." Linx huffed and I snorted and prodded his ear with my snout.

"It's not your fault Linx, it's fine, we all deserve rest anyway." I said and backed away from him.

"We will rest here for awhile, anyone up for it can come on a hunting trip with me." I said and Blaise trotted over to Linx and sat beside him.

"We'll come Alpha." I glanced over to see a light brown wolf, Hawk also known as Luke, and a gray speckled she-wolf, Storm; Blu. The two were in their twenties and had once been secret lovers, but now they were mated.

I looked at the rest of the young wolves all huddled together.

My gaze went to Blaise, he was the oldest of the youngsters.

"Watch them, howl if something goes wrong." I said and he nodded.

I picked Julius up by his scruff once again and turned to Luke and Blu.

I led the two wolves away and we stalked through the forest. We searched for awhile before I picked up a scent.

"Spread out. Hawk go left, Storm take right. There's a doe ahead." I growled past Julius's scruff.

"Yes Alpha Rain."

"Sure thing Alpha Amelia."

"Stay here my love." I grumbled to Julius and placed him beside a stump.

I looked to the others, nodded and our little group panned out.

We dragged the deer carcass back to the others and everyone dug in. I ate a bit before padding a bit away and sitting down with my pup.

Everyone's stomachs were full as they all settled down for rest.

My snout turned up to the sky as I watched the stars for a while. My heart hung heavy in my chest. Julius suckled hungrily from my teats and I gave him an affectionate lick.

"Alpha... are you alright?" A growl said and I turned my head to see Storm, Blu coming to a halt beside me. She slowly sat down and her blue-gray fur glittered in the moonlight.

I bowed my head before letting out a sorrowful growl and the female beside me whimpered softly.

"It must be horrible... Amelia I'm so sorry for what they did." Blu said and flicked her ears back.
