The White Wolf's Lover

Chapter 19

Kimmon carried his pups as he ran on all four, the scent of his mate blood was thick in the air. He could hardly see on sense where he was running as he felt the pain of flesh being torn from her hands, limbs being pulled apart.

Pain was his as much as his mate's, he stumbled falling to the ground when he felt Maeve rip open Diane chest, her long fingers curled around the heart "both of  your soul is now eternally mine"

'Get them to safety' he heard Diane's feeble voice in his head 'save them; break the curse....'

Ming woke up screaming, he could still hear the female voice as if she was speaking to him, begging him, commanding him to save the cubs and break the curse.

Kit woke up startled; he had no idea when they had fallen asleep. All that he remembered was sobbing in Ming's hand as he felt Nila's grief. Ming looked around trying to find the source of that voice, when it finally dawned has him that it was a dream.

"Nothing" Ming said as he wrapped his hands around Kit "bad dream..."

"Want to tell me about it" Kit asked as he moved in closer to Ming's embrace, but Ming shook his head. Kit sighed as he rested his back against the bed frame and pulled Ming to rest his head on his chest "It's okay... I am here"

Ming laid his head on Kit and wrapped his arms around Kit's torso, taking in the warmth and sense of security, "I used to sleep like this when I was a little kid, hugging my mom"

"Are you implying I am your mother?" Kit smiled "Let's me warn you here, am not anyone's mother", he slowly bent his head so that his lips were close to Ming's face "Nor am I interested in any kinks of those sort"

A quick laugh escaped Ming "Nope.... Definitely not, if anything I will be your daddy" as he tightened his arms around Kit.

"Dude" Kit pushed Ming away quickly "Don't you dare"

Ming pouted, "I just had a very bad dream"

"Yeah right" despite his words, Kit's heart quickened its pace when he saw the terror quickly flash in Ming's eyes "Tell me about it"

Ming sighed as he crawled back to Kit "It was the same wolf, only now he was carrying two cubs as he ran away while his .... " he tried to get the right word "Mate... his mate was killed. She told him to save her cubs, to break the curse", a small tear escaped his eyes "Only it felt real, I could actually smell the blood and feel the pain"

Kit stiffened; Nila had refused to speak about it saying she cannot, whatever it meant, she had gone silent ever since.

"Do you think it was real? Am I having some sort of vision?" Ming asked

"Maybe" Kit said, "We need to find out what had really happened, and how is this all related to us"

"Should we tell the others?" Ming asked, when Kit nodded "I don't think we should have any secrets between all of us"

"Huh" Ming scoffed "Try saying that to Forth"

Kit smiled, "he will come around – usually old people take time"

Ming laughed and then he sighed, he looked into Kit's eyes "People I love have a habit of leaving me behind..." He took Kit's hand into his "You won't right?"

"I will stick to you like a gum in the hair" Kit smiled, trying to lighten the mood but he could feel the fear and insecurity in Ming. "I love you... I don't know how or why, but I love you" Kit said softly "I don't think I can stay apart even for a minute"

Ming felt reassured, it was exactly how he had felt towards Kit and to hear those exact same words he felt content.
