Waya sighed, soon waking up the next morning. Her body was sore and she felt her scarred throat a thin scab covering it. She groaned. If she got attacked anymore on her throat, she'd die sooner or later. Waya rolled on her side and grommed her swallen belly. She was about to call out for Aiden, but then remembered he died in the Northlands. She gasped and tears fell form her eyes, running down her cheeks.

Waya looked up and smiled. Her two pups, Kannok, named for her Father and Avil. She nuzzled her too pups.

"We're so glad your back, momma." said Avil and nuzzled under her mother's throat. Waya licked her daughter's head. Kannok layed beside his mother's side and licked the back of her head. "I love you." he said and layed his head on her back, slowly licking it.

"Well, look who has finally decided to wake up." teased Truck as he entered. Avil and Kannok both ran out of the den to leave their parents.

Truck licked Waya's face and layed in front of her. "Good morning, beautiful." he said.

Waya smiled and licked Truck back, then layed her head on her paws.

Truck looked to the side, staring at Waya's belly.

Waya looked away as if she knew what he was thinking.

"We can't keep them. You know..we'll have to kill them.." Truck told Waya. Truck studied Waya's face he told her this. He wondered what she would say.

"I know we do.." Waya said, not showing any sign of sorrow.

Truck blinked in surprise. "But,..let me do it." she told Truck.

Truck tilted his head. It was wierd enough that she had yelled at him about killing Lee's pups, even more strange for her to do it herself. "Very well." he told her and nodded.

Waya nodded and nuzzled Truck. Waya sighed and layed her head back down. "I want to be alone." she said to Truck.

Truck nodded and walked out of the den.

Once Truck left Emily walked in. "You told him?" she said to Waya. Waya nodded. "Yeah, he bought it." she smirked. Emily sat in front of her. "You really think it's smart to let them live?" she asked Waya.

"What choice do I have as a mother? I would never kill new born pups, once they left canal. Would you?" she asked Emily, her eyes hard.

"No." said Emily lowering her eyes.

"Tonight, I'll leave the pack and have the pups in a town not too far from here." Waya explained.

"They're due already?" asked Emily.

Waya nodded and sighed. She thought if Truck knew that she didn't kill the pups, but if they grew up in a town, maybe they'd never see a wolf again and breed with a dog and get their bloodline out. But, it was only a prayer..

Emily nodded and walked out of the den and left Waya to her thoughts.

Waya sighed and closed her eyes, drifting off into sleep.

"Waya?" called a voice in a foggy dream land.

Waya opened her eyes, staring what looked like a large green field with dead willow trees and thick fog curling around her legs. She searched the thick damp air for the figure that called out to her.

"Waya." called the voice again, but seeming to get more closer.

"Who's there?" she asked. She turned around, but not seeing anyone.

Suddenly a black mist curled around her, then spread in front of her. Aiden appearing in front of her. The wounds that killed him did not show.

"Waya, you must return to the Northlands." Aiden told his sister.

"What?! Are you mad? I just got back, I'm back with my family. Why would I go back to that hell?!!" she snarled at her brother.

"Because..the pack itself is not evil, but corupted by their leader Krom and Lee." he explained.

"What about Zena." she said matter-of-factly.

"She's not coruptted, she's just plain evil. But, those wolves aren't normal. Zena did die when you threw her over that cliff. She was found on the brink of death by Lee and Krom. She sort of, sold her soul to the Devil of the Forest." he explained.

"So, all those wolves, are..dead?" she asked.

"Technically, yes." he added saddly.

"Lee..became leader when Bear came to him as a dream and cursed him to Forever live and serve in the Northlands. And, he was to give company to any lost soul that died, and willingly join his pack. Zena, was the first." he explained.

"So, what did I have to do with this?" she asked.

"You were to bring their pack to the Light. Freeing their demons. Lee made that phrophecy Waya, he makes Phrophecy's that his Father sends him." he added.

Waya nodded. "And..the pups?" she added.

Aiden blinked. "He..Your having his pups?" he asked surprised.

Waya hung her head, her ears low. "Yes." she squeaked.

Aiden sighed deeply and stared at his sister. "The pups are actually keys to the solution of the Phrophecy. With them, Lee can free himself from the curse and all Hell would disern on the Earth." Aiden explained.

"Okay. But, what if they don't live to those standards?" she asked him. "What if they aren't born into the wolf pack?" she asked.

"Than, they won't live out their side of the Phrophecy. Living their lives outside a Wolf Pack would actually be smart. But, if Lee finds them, then..it's all in vain." he explained.

Waya nodded. "I have to go, brother." she told him.

"Remember Waya. You're duty is not yet...over..over..over....over" Aiden's voice echoed as he disappeared..

Waya woke up with a jolt. Outside the sky was a crimson of fire. Waya groaned, standing slowly.

She was met by Emily, then by Truck as she exited her den.

"Truck, I'm going to go take Waya hunting." Emily told her alpha.

Truck nodded. "Very well." he said and Waya nuzzled him, then walked off with Emily.

---

"You're..a lost soul?" Waya asked Emily.

Emily looked at Waya apalled. "How di--"

"I was greeted by Aiden in my dreams. He told me about Lee and the Northland Wolves. So, what happen to you?" she asked.

"While..me and Dakota were leaving our pack. We were from different packs who hated eachother. We eloped and ran off. Each of the packs went after us. My pack killed Dakota and Dakota's pack killed me. We were lost souls that never had a chance to fully live out our lives, but..now we can." she smiled.

Waya nodded with a smile. "I will help you get free. You and the other wolves, that are trapped by Lee." she promised.

Emily smiled, it's not all that easy. "Lee can't be killed unless..well..you find his heart and stab it, but.." Emily looked away.

"But, what?" Waya urged.

"I can't say. I was sworn to secrecy." she sighed.

Waya lowered her head. "You would tell me if you could, right?" Waya asked.

"Of course." Emily said looking at Waya.

Waya smiled and stopped as they neared the town. She walked slowly into it. Once stepping into the town, Waya yelped and doubled over, whimpering.

"Waya?!" Emiled jumped in surprise. "Hang on, Waya!" she barked and grabbed Waya and put her over her back and sprinted off to find a stray female dog, that had pups, which was very rare..chances.

Fortantly, about a half a mile away was a female who had just given to birth to two beautiful pups. The female was a red and white husky pure breed.

Emily came running up, but was stopped byt he female when Emily was about to run past her. Emily stared at the female.

"Rosie!!" Emily shouted.

"Emily!!" the female barked back. The female noted Waya growling.

"Rosie, I know this may seem stupid and a bit wierd, but..my friend is having pups and she can't have them in her pack or they'd die..please..can you nurse the pups once they are born?" she pleaded.

Rosie stared as Waya approached her. Rosie studied her. "Yes, I will." Rosie said motherly. She had lost her other four pups, she would welcome more. "Lay down here, dear." Rosie said with experience.

Waya obeyed the female and layed adaject to the husky female. Waya cried out, giving birth to four pups. Three males and one female, of course black.

After Waya rested, the female grabbed the newborns and quickly had them suckling next to the two of her pups.

"Thank you, Rosie." Waya panted exhausted. "Please, Rosie. Don't tell them who they are..don't tell them they are wolves.." she pleaded with the female.

"I won't." Rosie promised and once said, Emily and Waya headed abck to their own pack.

Rosie watched the wolves leave and Rosie began to groom her new four pups...
