again and she couldn’t be happier.
“I wasn’t expecting to ever see you again either...” he replied, for some strange reason he looked pretty deep in thought.
“Is it a good thing or a bad thing that you did see me again?” Mckenzie asked looking into his big black eyes.
“It’s a great thing.” Kopa looked uncomfortable for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly. Mckenzie’s heart skipped a beat and she almost fainted with relief.

Kopa gestured her to follow him and the two ran along side each other in the clean new snow. Every now and again their eyes would meet and they’d quickly look away self-consciously.
Jaison and Mystic startled the two as they blocked Mckenzie and Kopa’s path.
“So this is who you told me about? He is definitely as cute as you described him.” Mystic winked cheekily at Mckenzie.
“Mystic!” She cried; she could feel her cheeks burning. “I was not talking about him!”
Kopa looked at Mckenzie and smiled, she looked away quickly. She was so embarrassed. Jaison and Mystic glanced at each other and grinned. Mckenzie introduced everyone politely and everyone began talking for a while. But Mckenzie desperately wanted Jaison to leave.
“So Kopa, you wanted to show me some place?” She asked him, giving him a look as if to say ‘come on, lets get out of here.’
“Sure, maybe Jaison and Mystic want to come,” He smiled at them, Mckenzie felt disappointed as she saw Jaison and Mystic nod. Soon they were all running again.
 

Kopa led them through a windy path, the branches hung around the top like a long archway and the dirt was soft under their paws. They seemed to walk for a little while until the path came to a stop, and all that stood in front of them was a large bush wall. Mckenzie was confused for a moment. “I’ve never showed this place to anyone before, so don’t tell a soul about it.” Kopa said to them slowly, the three wolves nodded eager to see what he was hiding. Kopa hesitated before leaning over and pulling away a branch, he stepped inside and the three followed. They gasped at what lay before them. A beautiful white meadow with freshly fallen snow stretched out before them. At the far end was a huge lake, with a waterfall plummeting into the cool water. It was surrounded by plush water grass and lilies of all colors. A huge rainbow extended out in the sky, it shimmered magically in the bright light. The luscious bushes that surrounded the valley were pushed in tightly together so nothing of the outside world could be seen and the leaves and grass sparkled in the sun from the melted snow. The bushes were all sprinkled with snow; it was definitely the most beautiful place to live in the whole world. Kopa couldn’t help but grin at the surprised expressions that spread across Mckenzie and her families’ faces and a proud feeling washed through him.
 

“Wait… so you live here?” Mckenzie asked him, her eyes were glistening as the sun reflected off of them. Kopa smiled at her.
“I wish! No way, I live with my pack somewhere else; this is just the place I come to when I want to be by myself.” He cried. Jaison looked up at the sky, the sun was setting and it threw pink and orange rays across the ground. Light spilled through the trees creating a warm glow as the hills shielded half of the sun.

“Mystic, we have that date we were supposed to be heading to; we don’t want to be late.” He said to her. Mystic nodded, she hugged Mckenzie and said goodbye to Kopa before the two turned to leave.
“Wait, you could have it here if you wanted?” Kopa asked them.
“But aren’t you two staying here? We don’t want to interrupt.” Mystic replied.
“No, I’m taking Mckenzie somewhere else.” He explained.
Mystic looked at Jaison and he shrugged.
“Ok, thanks Kopa,” Mystic smiled.
 

Kopa grinned at Mckenzie before leading her to the back of the meadow. The two went behind the lake to another thick wall of trees and bushes. He pushed through the bushes and disappeared; Mckenzie followed keenly and she gasped when she reached the other side. The thick green bushes squeezed in tightly creating a hard wall and enclosed the two into a way smaller meadow. Night had fallen and the stars lit it up like dazzling lights. The glowing snow was spongy and thick, like a soft pillow and another lake at the end flashed admiringly with all the sparkling fish. It was more beautiful then the other meadow was and Mckenzie was two busy staring wide eyed at what lay before her she forgot Kopa was watching.
“I’m guessing you like it?” Kopa laughed, Mckenzie nodded. He lied down in the snow and patted the ground next to him, signaling Mckenzie to lie as well. She slowly lied next to him and looked deeply into his eyes.
“Wow,” Kopa said, he looked a little distracted.
“What?” Mckenzie asked him.
“I never really noticed how gorgeous you actually are,” He said softly. Mckenzie blushed.
“No, I’m not really; but thank you.” She said, looking away from his gaze. He turned her head back to face him.
“Don’t you dare ever say that again.” He said sternly, Mckenzie thought he was being serious but then the corner of his mouth flickered into a smile. “Or I might have to punish you.” He laughed.
Mckenzie was too lost in his eyes, the deep purple swirls mixed into each other creating a 3D kind of shimmer. She was in a sort of trance and before she knew it Kopa leaned in and kissed her, in a sort of firm but tender way. She was overwhelmed with feelings and her eyes widened at first but as Kopa lied on his back and Mckenzie leaned over him while they kissed, she slowly began to relax and shut them. Fireworks were bellowing in her mind and the fireflies danced around their heads. She pulled away from his lips slowly and looked deeply into his eyes. He nuzzled into her and she rested her head on his chest. His heartbeat slowly drummed her to sleep…

Kopa’s eyes opened slowly and he blinked back the blinding sun light. Mckenzie was already awake but she was just peacefully looking up at him. “Morning,” he smiled licking her cheek. McKenzie’s stomach quivered and she had never felt happier.
“Kopa,” she whispered softly.
“Yeah?” He asked.
“Will I ever see you again after this?” She said nervously. Kopa frowned for a moment, deep in thought and then a smile crept across his handsome face.
“Whenever you want or need to see me, all you need to do is come here. And ill be waiting.” He said soothingly.
“But what if I can’t find you? Or you find another wolf who you like better…?” She assumed.
“That will never happen,” He continued. “I love you…” And with that the two became mates- and remained madly in love.

The End
