Lost

Chapter 4. The Boss's?

I moved closer my boots making a tapping sound on the cave floor. He had a small look of fear in his eyes as he looked at the entrance. More than likely trying to think if he could somehow escape.

"And who is your boss?"

"Why should I tell you. You should know."

I tipped his knife at his head, "Don't make me repeat myself. We have been running quit low on food recently."

He gulped, "Her name is Samantha Lockwood. Also your mother."

I growled throwing the knife making it hit the wall and brake. I then made my way out of the cave growling. Nessi made her way to me grabbing my sleeve.

"I'm going on a hunt."

Nixi jumped up from where he was laying and joined me as well as Lane. Lane went into a slow jog his nose to the ground. I fallowed him as he led us to our hunt. When we stopped we were Infront of a small caribou.

I growled and lunged taking my knife and plunging it into his flank. But I wasn't done I reached up and dug the knife into it's throat making it fall to the ground. Lane let out multiple yips pulling me from my thoughts. When I looked up I saw the multiple stab marks I had made into the poor animal's neck. I felt my anger fade as I sighed.

I got up and went to walk of but a growl stopped me. I turned to see papa looking at me. He quickly turned and I could tell he wanted me to fallow him to where ever he was going. I quickly did so expecting to get nipped at or something. I haven't acted like that since the first week they got me.

Papa and Mama didn't mind my anger they just didn't like it when I took it out on my siblings or other animals who did nothing to me.

Cold

Everything was cold. I whimpered at the feeling of the Icy air touching my skin. The alpha female was at my side as well as her mate. He made it pretty clear he didnt approve of her letting me stay here. Or maybe it was something else. He looked at me with sadness and-.

And something that felt like love. But how could it be love when he treated me so coldly just a few days ago. Still I can't help but want to make them proud. To call them mama and papa but I-

But I can't shake the other feeling of my other family. Mama and papa holding me close, papa and mama had started yelling at each other more and more. Maybe mama was scared of losing him? Maybe mama could tell something like this was going to happen.

The alpha- my alpha, she stopped. We where in front of a snowy patch. No trees in sight. I looked down at her. Her mate let out a growl and started walking again I couldn't help but want to fallow him. To play with the other pups.

I shook my head and whimpered. Papa stopped and came to my side licking my hand. I looked down at him.

How is this the same wolf I first met. The one that would growl when I curled up to him at night. Mama always let me cuddle and well-. It took papa a little bit to get used to it and let me. But soon he was treating me like one of his own. To the point where I felt like I was one of his own.

Papa stopped at a little stream and sat down by it next to mama. I joined them and looked at the ground.

"Look up pup."

I did as told and met papa's eyes. He licked my cheek and barked.

"Why must you act like you are lesser then us?"

I cocked my head, "Because I am. As much as I wish I was a wolf. We all know I'm not I'll never be."

Mama growled this time, jumping in my lap.

"And does that make us think any less of you? Tae look at me."

I did as mama told me to.

"You are a wolf. Whether you can shift or not you're a wolf. You have the soul of one. Maybe not the body but the soul. And the soul is what matters not your body. My dear. Do you understand me?"

I nodded and looked at papa.

He licked my cheek once again and then mama's before getting up and grabbing a drink from the stream barking at us.

"Come on. You both need one as well."

I nodded and waited until mama had gotten up before I got up as well.

We made our way over to the stream both of us bending down to get a drink. I cupped my hands and dumped them into the cool water while mama just got some with her tongue. After drinking for a minute or two we went back to sitting and laying in the snow watching the water and the little flakes of snow fall.

We knew that we needed to start heading back because of the snow so we didn't lose our way but what was a few more minutes.

Papa was the first one to get up but we both soon fallowed making our way back to the den. Once we got back we found that the man was asleep and all of the pups where asleep well everyone except Nessi who sat there watching the cave entrance. She let out a few quite yips when we walked in sitting down next to her watching the snow fall.

After a few minutes she got up and went over to the rest of the pups laying down next to them. She had clearly been waiting on us. I smiled at her and the rest of the pups before looking at the man. It looked like his wounds were getting worse.

"Well are you still planning on saving him?"

Mama's voice rang in my ear gently. I nodded.

"As much as I hate humans who act like that he did bring back my Kota, Possy, and Amber to me. For that I am grateful to him."

I felt something slid next to me making me smile. I looked down at Kota and smiled at him.

"I missed you guys you know that?"

His tongue flopped out and he looked back at the man. I sighed, "I know. Even after everything he did to you, you still want me to save him. You are a better person than I am and better than I will ever be. But I"ll help him and then he's going back."

Kota yipped and then went back to laying down with the rest of the wolves and dogs. I quickly hugged and kissed mama and papa goodnight then did the same curling up with the pile of fur.
