Lost

Chapter 5. The Past

~Wolves (Mama)~

I watched as my mate carried in our oldest pup into our den. He dropped her down in front of my paws and then laid down beside me.

"Long day?"

He let out a growl and looked at our pup, "She is going to drive me insane. I tell her to sit and all she does is run around."

I let out a noise that sounded like a laugh, "She's only 8 weeks old. She won't listen to you perfectly. Not all pups are little soldiers like you dear."

He let out a quite growl before crawling his way over to us laying his head on my paw watching our daughter.

"Cammie my dear, did you have fun?"

She tilted her head at the sound of my voice and yipped. I let a lopsided grin come onto my face and looked over at my mate seeing his own grin join ours.

I bumped his nose with mine and then licked our sweet baby on the nose.

"Alena my love. I need you to go to the forest and take Cammie. I hear the sound of human footfall."

I nodded and grabbed Cammie by the scruff and carried her to a small forest area. The area had been dug out my humans and wolves alike. Then a cabin was built.

My mate and I have lived their for most of our mated life finding it a good place to raise pups. I wasn't uncommon to have humans looking around inside. But thanks to my mates "abilities." none of them have stay longer then a few minutes.

I quickly jumped though the open window and took our daughter to a room. After taking her their I crawled under the bed with her and curled around her. I don't know how long we waited. Waited for Westly.

I heard the sound of paws on wood and curled more around my daughter. Finally I saw his large white paws in front of me.

"It's safe now my dear."

I felt my tail start to wag and I made my way out of the bed dragging Cammie out by the scruff.

I sighed when I saw the red on his body.

"Did you have to attack them dear?"

He nodded, "They were to close to my daughter and mate."

I felt my eyes close and relaxed into a deep sleep.

I was woken by my mates nose rubbing mine.

"Alena wake up."

I rolled over and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Cammie's missing."

"WHAT?!"

I jumped up from my spot on the bed and jumped to the floor not waiting a second before running out the open front door. I pointed my nose to the ground and started to franticly sniff. I caught a little bit of the scent but it smelt different like a part of her changed. Could she have?

No it hasn't even been a year. I looked over at my mate running beside me and could feel his worry. We ran until our legs couldn't stand it.

I felt my legs give out and my face went strait into the snow. I let out a whimper and looked over at my mate with pleading eyes.

I heard the sound of bones cracking and looked over seeing Westly in his human form.

"It's going to be okay. We'll find her. You just need to rest."

I felt my body starting to drift off and the feeling of being picked up.

~Wolves (Papa)~

I let out a sigh as I carried my mate back to our home. I could feel her starting to shift so I adjusted my hold on her and stood still for a minute so I wouldn't drop her while she was in the shifting process.

I sighed and carried her naked human body to our cabin and made my way into the master bedroom before setting her down.

After laying her down and covering her exposed body with the comforter. After doing that I sighed and nuzzled her check before leaving our room and shifting.

I ran around for hours looking for anything. Then I caught the scent of someone who was not my daughter. I growled at the scent of my mother and turned seeing her white coat blowing in the wind.

"Wes. I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you?"

I growled at her and got into a fighting stance, "What. Did you take my daughter?"

She cocked her head, "I would never hurt Cammie. You know I didn't mean for everything that happened with your brother to happen. He was my son and I loved him."

I felt anger pile inside of me. I growled, "Then why did you let him die?!"

"I didn't! That whole thing was your father's fault not mine! I told you both to stay away from him! But your bother didn't listen to me! He just had to know why everything with your father went to hell!"

"YOU DON'T GET THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!"

I could tell she was replaying my words though her mind time and time again. She gave me an apologetic look before walking away into the forest.

"Just so you know. Humans took your daughter."

I growled at her and then made my way to the nearest village. I growled when I was a woman holding a little baby girl.

"How's my sweet little Tae?"

Her name was Tae but her scent was my daughter's.

I let out one was whimper as a goodbye before going back home to Alena. She doesn't have to know that I found her. She doesn't have to know about the talk with my mother.

She doesn't have to know that I've failed her. As an alpha, a friend, a mate, and a father. I've failed at all of them
