No one said anything after that. Nothing came out of anyone. Everyone ate in silence before the food was finished and plates brought away. Then Quinn and I were back in his room and I was staring at his comforters wishing Lupa was here.

"Are you okay?" Quinn asked staring at me. "I'm fine." I responded looking up at him. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yes I am fine." Quinn said. "Are you sure?" I asked and Quinn watched me. "Because apparently your a prince." I said and Quinn gave me this look.

"This is what your little silent treatment is about?" Quinn asked. "If I was giving you the silent treatment I wouldn't be talking to you there is a difference." I responded. Quinn nodded at that. "Well your upset." Quinn said sitting down next to me. I gave him a dull look for that.

"And I can understand why you are upset with me. I am sorry Silver for not telling you. But it never seemed important to me. I left this life behind and telling you would be like bringing it with me. So I never thought it would be important." Quinn said.

"Would of been nicer to hear it from you." I told Quinn. "Thaddeus. . . he's trying to find a way to scare you off. He doesn't like wolves all that much. And I'm sorry for that. I was going to tell you after dinner. . . or later." Quinn said biting his lip.

"I want to see Lupa." I responded. "Yeah of course. Come on." Quinn said and we exited his room and walked through. Everyone here had similar features, well hair color. Everyone had that snow white hair and varied brown color. Which was the only common thing.

Quinn and I walked through and out into the cold as the doors to the castle shut behind us. And then down to the gates that Quinn opened. I searched for Lupa my eyes waiting for her to come out. Quinn walked past the polar bears who watched him as he passed them and I followed behind him.

We found Lupa laying next to Eden gnawing on a piece of meat that she had gotten. Eden watched her with distaste like usual as she swallowed some. Her ears perked up and then her tail thumped against the ground when she saw me and at that moment she was up.

Lupa raced towards me before jumping up on me. 'Silver, Silver, Silver! I missed you so much! Don't ever leave me alone with them again! They're mean and Eden is grouchy and I'm going to kick his furry butt around if he nips me one more time!' Lupa exclaimed.

I laughed at her before giving her a hug back as Quinn watched in amusement. This was honestly the longest we had ever been away from each other and I didn't like it. We spent every waking moment with each other typically unless I went into the city and she couldn't come.

Lupa licked my face some giving her form of kisses which I accepted. And she even tried to lick my teeth as a form of greeting. If you pushed her away she grabbed you with her teeth and brought you back to continue her greeting and affection.

"Were you being mean Eden?" Quinn asked. 'No. She kept on pushing on me, and kicking snow everywhere. I simply pushed her to make her stop.' Eden responded. 'I was marking my territory since that fat thing keeps eyeing me up.' Lupa said nastily looking at a female polar bear.

Quinn shook his head. I turned to see Claw walking past with a huge leg in his mouth as he left to go eat it. Out of nowhere a female polar bear came up and stopped in front of Quinn.

Quinn turned around and smiled at the female polar bear as Lupa watched her ears laid back. "Hello Primrose." Quinn said with a smile holding his hand out. The female came up and sniffed his hand before rubbing against him affectionately. "This is North's bear." Quinn said with a smile as she watched him.

Lupa moved away before sitting at my heels. Primrose looked at the wolf and then at Eden before she walked past Quinn to go greet Eden. They rubbed against each other in a weird affectionate way before Eden stood up and walked over to Quinn as Primrose followed.
