"....What did you just call me?" The she beast looked into the frail old she wolf's compassionate eyes. They spilled hot tears as the wounds of olden times reveal themselves and are rubbed bloody raw with salt because her own blood doesn't even recognize her.

Terra sighed heartbroken,"Of course, you were still a pup when it happened..."

"When what happened? Lily asked.

"When humans happened" said a muscular dark brown wolf. His eyes sparkled with tears and pain but he still held an image of strength and composure. Terra turned and grinned at the young alpha.

"Kole, was the hunt successful?" Terra asked all straight to the point n'stuff. Kole hung his head low in mock shame for a bit then signaled a couple of badass looking warrior wolves to bring what looked like a fat juicy elk fawn and it's even fatter mother. My jaw dropped at the sight of these two fleshy elk carcasses.

(I can't even catch a barn mouse)

Terra squints her eyes,"hmm...that's funny, where's the rest?"

"WHAT?!" I blurted out which made all wolves who were passing by direct their attention on me, even Trent gave me a look that says,"What's wrong, are you being crazy or disrespectful?" They all started to growl at me.

Kole stood protectively in front of me with his head high and his teeth bared.

"Silence!" He snarled which made everyone take a step back because it was so loud and sudden.

"This is my sister! You shall treat her with as much respect as the elder council. And if I ever catch any one of you doing so little as throwing a bad look at her or appeasing your 'romantic urges' it'll be warrior and shift training for all of you!"

Some of the wolves winced upon hearing shift and warrior training. He then yelled in a commanding voice,"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" Which they tucked their tails and replied,"yes alpha." I chuckled,

wimps.

"Kole you shouldn't be so harsh on them, they're only going on instinct to protect their leader." Terra looks over to me,"and now you young pup, aside from relearning pack manners you have to learn your blood story."

I cocked my head to the side,"My blood story?"
"I'll explain later. Kole what happened to the usual load?"

"We were ambushed by the east river pack, our sources say that chief Wolf Cloud was the one to organize the attack." Grandmother gave a confused look to Kole

"Nova's father?"

"Yes chief." Kole lowered his head slightly.

"I thought you said he took the marriage deal because he was sick and dying four full moons ago!"
"Yes, but he seemed to have changed his mind." Kole was now on his belly.
"When!" There was a long pause of silence

"Today..." was all he said and Terra was infuriated. "I'll take it up with the council in the next moon meeting, right now I need to know where the rest of your warriors are at."

"I dragged them to the medical den Chieftain."

Terra calmed down a bit,"okay, Kole I need you to start the feasting without us, Lily you follow me." Before we went our separate ways Terra looked to Kole once more."And Kole, STOP CALLING ME CHIEFTAIN! I mean come on I am your granny for peats sake!"

Kole smiles"Yes sir, Granny sir." He then takes off in a hurry laughing as he ran. "DO I LOOK LIKE A SIR TO YOU BOY!? Do I have male genitalia just jiggling between my hind legs!"

Terra turns to me and asks," Lily do you see a willie dangling between my hind legs?"

Now I understand why he took off  running.

"Uhhhhh....well I have only recently started to notice the um...male parts."

What kind of grandmother asks their grandpup that kind of question?

"Child it is a simple question, do you see any hard wood or not?!!" She gets all sassy granny on me.

"Uhh no ma'am I don't see any...hardwood."
"Ma'am?"
"I meant granny."
Before long we were at what was called the medical den where two wolves were badly injured.

"Grandmother Terra." One of them said trying to get up but fell back down twitching at the pain. "Stay down Connor Kole told me what happened."

Terra started to examine the wounds on both of them. After a few minutes of pacing, poultice rubbing, and cleansing Terra looked at me and lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Lily, would you mind licking their wounds for me?"

"Me? Why?" I asked weirdly.

"I just wanna see if you really are my blood relative."

Although I can't see why licking bloodied skin has to do with relation, I didn't question Gran any further and licked Connors wounds first.

Connor writhed in pain at first but slowly calmed down...as he did his open gash that revealed his innards gradually shrank in size to where it looked healed.

I was astonished at how my saliva was able to heal a fatal wound.

Terra was sitting with a smug but proud grin on her face.

"So, you are related to me...my tiger lily."
