As the wolves slept, Tiny jolted awake and growled loudly. She went low in the grass and
crawled around in it before climbing a tree. She looked down below and scanned the area. Over the years she has gotten used to the smell of rotting flesh and blood. The only thing that give that smell off so strong are rogues.
Will, noticing his imprinted's missing presence, got up and started sniffing. Soon he heard a howl. It was a warning howl. But not from the boarder patrol.
"Get the pups and she-wolves to safety! Thunder find Tiny and get to safety!"
Her father bellowed. The prince watched him puzzled as did every other wolf. Lake faced the king and muttered one word.
"Rogues."
All wolves began getting ready for the attack. Pups and she-wolves were directed to the safe cave. Thunder immediately began running ahead, as Will followed as well. He was just reunited with her, he couldn't lose her.
Oga growled lowly wanting to follow but couldn't as his mother held him down. He whined and thrashed in her hold causing too much noise so the Queen nipped at a vein rendering him unconscious.
Soon the foul stench of blood filled the air and the once peacefully quiet night was filled with howls and growls. Rogues getting ripped apart, shredded to pieces as the warriors got terribly injured.
Tiny jumped down from the tree and began heading to where she saw the winged wolf, Will, last. As she approached them she saw that they were holding off their own fight. Whining to distract the rogues, Will and Thunder jumped at them clawing them out.
Once they were done, Thunder took Tiny by her scruff and began running with Will hot on his tail.
Tiny curled into a small ball and watched as Will's wings were concealed into his fur.
Her eyes sparkled in curiosity. She wanted him to fly her high.
Once they arrived to the safe cave Tiny wiggled out off Thunder's hold and went to her mother and brother.
She then looked around for Will and spotted him not to far from her talking to
the wolf she encountered earlier. Hours went by when the howls finally ceased and the pack wolves
howled in victory. Though many were terribly injured they still walked with pride until their legs gave way and they collapsed.
Tiny look at her father who had gained a deep cut over his eye. But what caught her attention was the
small cream brown pup he carried by the scruff. As he set it down it wimpered and began crawling searching for his warmth. She huffed and walked of, subconsciously towards Will.
Will watched as his mate strutted over to him. Head held high with her tail down and curved upwards.
As she reached him he lay down and closed his eyes. Soon feeling his fur being tugged as Tiny climbed onto him. He let out a wolfish chuckle. 'She's a moody one.' He thought as he felt her settle on him.
Lake watched his pup carefully. Other wolves would think she was spoiled. Though she is, she has limits.
She's a daddy's girl. He watched his mate who eyed the pup. And her mother's daughter.
He knew they'd accept the pup but they won't be close. But at least they would have accepted it.
The she-wolf huffed and put her paw over her son who had fallen asleep recently. She watched her husband who was about to clean the pup and growled loudly. He couldn't clean any pup as she was due soon.
It was customary that the father not clean any when his mate was due soon.
He realized his mistake and put the pup near it's new brother. Oga opened his eyes and looked at the
three legged pup. It was obvious up close that her hind leg was bitten off. He watched her carefully. She slowly opened her eyes; one silver, the other a bright blue. Her fur was a brown-red colour.
She wobbly stood and tried to walk immediately falling forward. Oga stuck his paw out to break her fall.
He was sure of a name to call her but he doesn't mind link, though he can, he refuses to. Last time he
did he was made fun of because his voice sounded feminine. It wasn't his choice.
He promised himself that he would never link again. Though Thunder's family and his tried to get
him to do so he did not.
