Wolves Rule Over All

What do I choose?

Akeela's Pov.

My pups, they need me. Screw Thunder, I care about my pups more than I do my mate or my pack.

I sprint for the den. The only thought runnin through my mind is protectin my babies from whatever danger there is.

As I round the trees and get to the den a squeal of pain breaks the silence in the air. I charge into the den to find Mars with my pups in his jaws.

My baby is limp and lifeless and that's when it clicks. Mars just killed my baby!

Narrator speaking here!

Akeela loved that wolf she called a brother, but as soon as he killed her pup it was goodbye love.

Mars drops the pup and quickly tries to grab the other pup. Akeela's maternal instincts kick into full kick ass mode and she lunges forward, tackling Mars to the ground.

"Stay away from my pups!" She snarls at him. Mars just snarls back, all sense of reason lost.

Mars circles her trying to get to Akeela's pup, but Akeela always stays between the two.

"Why Mars? Why did you kill my pup?" Akeela asks in a betrayed voice. "Your mate killed my pack, so I'm stamping out his bloodline and causing him the same pain he caused me!" Mars howls with fury as he runs forward and bites Akeela's foreleg.

Akeela yowls in pain before latching her teeth into Mars' scruff. Using all of her strength she tries to pry him off of her.

But all that fighting has depleted almost all of her energy. Try as she will, Akeela can't pry Mars' off of her leg.

A loud crunch echos through the hollow old tree. Pain, and I mean pure pain surges through Akeela's leg.

A yelp of pain escapes Akeela's lips. Mars grins in satisfaction as he pulls his head back, leg still in it.

At this point he was just trying to cause Akeela pain. I don't quite get why Mars was trying to cause Akeela pain.

I mean the two are siblings, they just reunited. But here we have Mars killing his sister and his nephews.

Outside of the tree, Thunder and his faithful pack are searching. Searching for Akeela.

"Where did she go?" Mika asks his alpha. "I don't know, but keep searching. She couldn't have gone very far." Thunder tells his pack.

Back in the tree, the pain Akeela was enduring was slowly but surely leading her down the road of death.

"I hate you. I wish I never met you!" Akeela growls as kicks Mars with her back leg.

Mars lets go her of leg and bears his teeth at her. He lets out a growl the reverberates through the old tree.

Akeela try as she would, could not get up to face her brother. The pain was too much.

Mars moves around Akeela's motionless body. Trying to get to her last living pup.

Pushing the pain aside, Akeela struggles to her feet and faces her brother, doing her best to avoid putting weight on her now broken front leg.

"Touch him and I'll rip your face off." Akeela weakly snarls at her crazed brother. Mars just bares his froth covered teeth at her.

Mars circles Akeela and her pup. Trying to find a direct route to the pup, but Akeela always met him head on.

That wound Akeela has acquired was bleeding quite profusely at this point. Her entire leg was soaked in blood and now the pain was slowing her movement.

Mars could clearly see Akeela was slowing down. It wouldn't be long now before she would collapse and he would kill her and her pup.

In a quick motion Mars turned left and lunged forward. Akeela tries to meet him head on, but her body is too weak and her legs buckle and she collapses.

With all hope lost, Akeela just lays there. Watching her crazy brother approach her last baby.

"Strength grows in the moments when you think you can't go on but you keep going anyway." A voice whispers.

Akeela weakly blinks, her vision growing cloudy, this was it. The end of her miserable days.

"You have within you, right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world throws at you." The wind blows through the tree, whispering these words over and over again.

She was to weak to stand anymore, so she lets out a sorrowful howl. The idiotic Mars looks at her, wondering what in the hay that noise was.

Akeela notices her howls confuse Mars, so she keeps at it.

"Do you hear that? It's Scar!" Thunder barks excitedly as he chases the sound of Akeela's howls.

In roughly two minutes flat, Thunder is upon the tree den.

Thunder's Pov.

I run into the den and I find a horrifying sight. Scar is bleeding out on the ground and her brother is frothing at the mouth, with a crazed look in his eyes.

The howling still comes from Scar's mouth. She just won't let up.

As soon as her howling stops, Mars snarls at her. He's gonna kill her, my instincts scream at me.

In a flash I run forward and body slam Mars into the wall.

He wiggles against me, trying to get at me. But I keep his body squished against the wall.

He reaches out to bite me and that's when I strike. My jaws wrap around his exposed neck and I bite down.

I don't let him go until his body goes totally limp and only then do I let him go.

The love for Scar is still there as I look at her weak body lying there on the ground. I may still be hurt from fighting in the battle, but I gotta help her.

I slowly walk towards her and I nuzzle her head with mine. She weakly growls at me, but I continue to nuzzle her head.

"Pup, bring me my pup." She whispers. I do as she says and I bring her her pup.

The pup whimpers as Scar nuzzles it towards her stomach.

"Hush little baby don't you cry. Or momma might just die." Scar softly sings to our little baby.

"I'm going to go get you help." I whisper in her torn ear. She just continues her singing, ignoring me.

I hustle out of the log and almost immediately I run into Mika. "I already got the healer alpha." He grins at me.

I nod in thanks. I usher the healer into the den, quickly leading him to Scar.

"Oh alpha, her wounds aren't heal able. Unless. No, it's too dangerous." "Unless what? Tell me!"

"If we can get her back to our territory, I could collect some healing herbs and give them to her." The healer explains.

"But it's dangerous sir, if we try to move her, she could die. And her pup would starve to death if she died. The option of what we do is up to you."

What do I choose? What do I choose? Risk Scar bleeding out here? Or bring her home and risk her and my pup dying?

Well either way if Scar dies my pup dies, so what do I choose?
