Waking up with a mount of fresh air, there was a big "clan crowding" around two different dens. What was the cause of this? Two mothers had their pups during a night's thunderstorm. One female named Tikaae was an Alpha from the Nakaahi Mountain clan.

The other-- another Alpha female of the Aquatain Waters Clan named Annakita, down in the lake near the Mountains. Both Aquatain & Nakaahi clans were at war with another. The Alpha male's simply held grudges against one another. Not only that.. the Alpha females were Beta's in an old pack. They blamed each other constantly.

 

Tikaae smiled brightly at her fame. All of her pack was hundling around her den just to see her one special wolfpup.

"Finally, Tikaae. He came..." A tall, lean wolf walked up to Tikaae. His large figure gave it away that it was the Mate of Tikaae. "I'm so proud! A new member. He'll be the most excellent Alpha, guiding our pack to the nicest huts to hunt."

Tikaae looked up at her mate. "Oh, Nights'Storm...he has yet to grow. Lets think about giving him an excellent puppyhood first." Tikaae smiled brightly.

"Thats the spirit!" Both Nights'Storm & Tikaae heard as the clan cheered for Tikaae's pup. "Hes so adorable!" Another voice said from the pack. "I know," Replied another.

Annakita, laying down beside her beautiful, bright young wolfpup was smiling non-stop. Her mate along side, Duskk. The clan was busy sleeping, they didn't want to disturb them with the news.

"The quietest for her the better," Duskk said. He bent down to lick his daughters ear. "She'll be the greatest wolfpup ever," Duskk smiled, standing back up. 'And she'll run Nights'Storm's pack right out of the mountain.' Duskk thought with a sparkle in his eye.

Annakita sighed. "Was that a good sparkle in your eye?"

"Yes, Annakita. I couldn't help but reconize our pups success ahead of her." Duskk smiled brightly, talking in a quick tone.

 

After two whole months of the Alphas constant teaching their pups way to survive, to get there way with another, the rest of the pack on each side have been watching anothers' pups. They all hoped the Male's wouldn't drive their wolfpups crazy for war. --But its exactly what happened.

Once the wolfpups were two years old, they were exposed to the opposite packs' war.

 

 

"Hey, Dad-- I mean, commander. Commander, why do we have to go to war with them? They haven't done anything. I mean,"

"Shh now, hunter." Nights'Storm replied. "Always know me as your War Lord, I know these years of fun have been good, but no. I'm sorry, Dedreh. Your mother past away one year ago...It was those stupid other wolves. I know our hertiage is to be...honorable...but...our pack will break that rule. They will pay for taking Tikaae's life...after all, its no fair that Annakita got to live!"

"Father! But thats...crazy." Dedreh had his ears back, looking down off the mountain.

 

"GET OFF YOUR PAWS & MOVE, DEDREH! We're attacking, NOW." Nights'Storms voice was ever-so booming & loud.

Annakita & Duskk sat beside another, talking.

"But, Duskk, it'll be suicide to put Shasta into the war. Shes...I mean...shes a female. She needs to stay here."

"Annakita, I didn't spend all those years teaching her to fight. To rip the throat of Nights'Storm's sons out, or teach to get the best of herself for nothing! She's going into that war & thats final, now go with the rest of the whimps that aren't going into war! Come, hunters & my honorable Sub Alpha!" Duskk yelled, running down to meet the other pack.

 

Annakita grabbed her wolfpups' paw. "Shasta...please don't go with your father. The other pack has all males, they're fierce!"

"Mother! I die for my pack, now let go!" Shasta nipped at her mothers paw, then ran up to the stampede of her pack. She looked back at a heartbroken Annakita.

'Shes going to die out there!' Annakita thought as she turned, going into the den of all the packs females.

 

 

The packs clashed together fiercely. All you could hear was the sound of growling & snarling. It was deadly.

 

With the fierce fight, Shasta wiped out most of Nakaahi's members. Dedreh had done the same to the Aquatain members. Duskk & Nights'Storm have been going at it, but severely injured.

"Back down, Duskk!" Nights'Storm coughed out blood, biting Duskk's already badly injured neck.

"Not to a whimp like yourself!" Duskk scratched Nights'Storms' neck. It began to bleed severly.

 

"Da---Commander!!" Dedreh cried out to his father. "Thats it, Duskk!" Dedreh ran, he slipped in the blood that was coming out of Nights'Storm & Duskk. They lie beside each other---lifeless. Dedreh growled out so loudly, everyone heard him. Aquatain members jumped ontop of Dedreh, then Nakaahi members slashed off the Aquatain's. Only 11 on the Aquatain, & 4 of the Nakaahi's remained alive.

 

Shasta saw her father, growling with loss, she yelled, "Go down, Nakaahi!! I leave you with gore!!" Shasta screamed, her eyes closed. She was so angry, she killed 6 of her own members. And the remaining 4 of the Nakaahi's. Shasta then broke down onto the ground, tired from her rampage.

 

At that time, Dedreh wiped out the rest of the Aquatain members. He also fell to the ground, crying. He saw that Shasta was dead--or so he thought, he sighed sadly. "Their all dead...only I remain...that...wolf..." Dedreh smiled a bit. He began to laugh. "OOF!"

 

Dedreh felt a heavy clog of blood at his throat. "Die, Dedreh!!" Shasta snarled in his face. She had her claw dug into his neck. "You...your father killed my father, stupid orphan!" Blood dripped down from her fangs.

 

Dedreh pushed her off, "I don't want to hurt you.." Dedreh smiled.

"Don't you smile at me! You fool!" Shasta snarled, then fell to the ground. Coughing blood from the fighting.. & the counter attacks. "...I guess..." Shasta paused. "The Nakaahi's won....before you..." Shasta coughed. "Slaughter my mother, tell her sorry that I came here!" Shasta yelled.

 

"She knew my name?" Dedreh wondered. He walked over to Shasta then licked her muzzle. "Your not dead...your breathing..." Dedreh smirked then looked at his pack. "I'm sorry, they'll have to find another Alpha to lead them to food..." Dedreh said then picked up Shasta. Placing her on his back, he ran. Just kept running.

 

Dedreh felt the most of emptyness in his stomache. It hurt so badly--- so empty. His head felt dizzy, tears began to form. "I'll at least save her..." Dedreh said, tiredly. His stomach suddenly felt.. not more empty, but heavy. Really heavy.

 

Dedreh ran far from the mountains, placing Shasta on a den's ground. He poured water over her--she didn't wake. He licked her wounds then fell asleep, curled next to Shasta.

 

Shasta woke up a with a loud snarl. "YOU! Dedreh..." Shasta snarled, baring her teeth. "Get away from me!"

"Shasta!! wait--"

Shasta pinned him down, "If this is what my father raised me to do, Then I will! To repay his death!" Shasta ripped at his throat.

 

Dedreh threw her off-- softly. "Listen, I'm only trying to help."

Shasta broke down near one of the den's walls. Dedreh walked by then Shasta growled loudly, water oozing from her mouth. "You, stay away....or...I'll have to really repay my fathers debt..." Shasta threatened in a loud tone.

 

Shasta was breathing heavily as she fell asleep again. Dedreh coughed more as he watched her. "Might as well go hunting..." Dedreh said with a sigh, "But a bear might enter...I'll just stay." Dedreh watched Shasta constantly, he kept looking at the entrance. Watching.

 

As nights passed by, Shasta had a huge grudge against Dedreh, but she accepted herself to be in his care. Dedreh had a huge liking to Shasta, he treated her to too many things that she didn't really want.

 

Dedreh came home one day, awfully worn out & tired with five baby caribou. "This will get you, really healthy & strong since those battles....Shasta..." Dedreh collasped on the ground.

Shasta was approaching Dedreh to help him, but he only snored, faking it. He was actually physically worn out.

 

Dedreh woke up the next morning, three out of five caribou eaten. Dedreh found himself barely moving. He could clearly see Shasta sitting at the river, laying there drinking water. 'Don't go into the woods...the cougars are around here...' Dedreh thought. He coughed, but he found it really painful.

Shasta then walked into the den, almost frightened she looked at Dedreh. She finally decided to set things straight. "Okay, its been four days. Your not moving anymore-- I'm hungry. Your not letting me go hunt on myself. Cmon-- I wiped out almost your whole pack. Now eat these two deers," Shasta commaned.

 

"I'll go hunting for you, then I'll eat the caribou when I'm hungry, Shasta.." Dedreh got up, a loud, painful wheeze came out from his weakened bones.

Shasta pushed him down then gave him the caribou, putting her paw down, she yelled in his face. "Eat this, NOW, or I'll make you slowly die! You won't listen to me, your always telling me I need someone to make
