Future

Chapter 3

*Chase's POV*

We walked to the terminal with Austin as he prepared to leave. Lexi held his hand tightly, her ring digging into their skin.
"Well this is it." He sighed, turning to her. Lexi already had tears in her eyes. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his hand lingering on her cheek.
"Don't cry Lex. I'll be home before you know it. And I can still write to you." Lexi gave a weak smile and wiped her eyes.
"I'll stop crying if you promise it to make me a widow before I'm even twenty." She joked. We all gave a little laugh but it sounded hallow. The couple gave each other a kiss before parting ways. Austin gave one last look at us as he left, we all hoped that this wasn't going to be the last time we saw him...

When we were back at the lookout, everyone tried to act normal. Pretty hard when my beloved mate was having awful mood swings due to her being in heat. I ran and hid in Lexi's room, hiding under the covers. The girl looked at me confused until Skye's voice came from the hallway.
"Chase just wait till I get my paws on you!"
"What did you do?" Lexi hissed.
"Someone ate her treats and she thinks it's me." I shivered in fear. Lexi shook her head and yelled.
"He's in here!" I sat bolt upright.
"What was that for?"
"Never mess with a girl and her food."
"It wasn't me!" I growled and ran into the main room where all the other boys were. Upon seeing the panic in my eyes, Marshall asked what was wrong. Before I could answer, Skye walked in.
"You are so for it." She growled at me. I gulped. Lexi appeared at the door, smirking at the scene before her.
"What did he do?" Rocky asked.
"He ate Skye's treats."
"How do you know it was Chase?"
"Who else could it have been?" The boys and me exchanged a nervous glance.
"SCATTER!" We yelled, tearing off in different directions. Lexi was leaning against the wall, tears falling down her eyes, laughing.
I sped outside and ran past Everest.
"Hey!"
"Sorry Ev no time to explain!" I yelled over my shoulder. As I shut myself in my pup house, I noticed that Everest hadn't bitten my head off like she normally did. Her and Skye were in heat at the same time but it seems that her mood swings weren't as bad. Come to think of it, they hadn't been since September or October, back when we were staying with Lexi.
She must have leaned to control it.
There was a thud at my door and I heard Skye calling to me.
"Chasey I'm sorry I blamed you, it was Rubble that ate my treats." I shook my head and smiled. Would I swap this life for anything else? Not a chance!
