Chapter 1:
A New Family
A great black wolf lay on a big rock next to his heavily pregnant mate, a pure white wolf, who was due any day now, overlooking his entire pack. “What’s the matter dear?” The black wolf’s mate, whose name is Rya, asked him.
“It’s your parents pack. Our guards have reported seeing more and more of their scouts around our territory. I think they might of found us,” the black wolf, whose name is Reid replied.
“It’s making me uneasy, that’s why I want us to move our pack away from here as soon as the pups are born. We can't let them catch us,” he told her.
“What?! We can’t leave as soon as they’re born! They’d be too small and weak. If we did that they’d end up dying!” She said, her voice rising slightly with worry.
“You’re right.” He sighed. "Then we will leave as soon as they’re ten weeks old, ok?”
"But they will still be too young!" Rya pleaded. "I just don't want them to get hurt, or even worse, die," she continued.
"Rya, believe me i don't want any harm to come to them either, but that's the exact reason why we need to leave as soon as possible. Besides we need to think about the pack's safety as well, for if it really is your parents pack and they decided to attack us, then you know as well as i do that we'd be outnumbered 3 to 1." Reid stated.
At first she was silent. She didn’t want to say it, but she had to. She couldn’t put her pack in danger, and she also couldn't argue with her mate. “Ok”, she finally said so quietly, it was practically a whisper.
Two days later…
Reid was pacing back and forth nervously at the entrance of the den. A few hours ago Rya had complained about having pains and didn’t go with him to scan their territory of any scouts from the other pack, as well as to check in with their own scouts to see if any of them had seen anything or anyone out of the usual. When he got back he was informed that Rya had gone into labor as soon as he had left.
Reid had stopped pacing and was now sitting by the entrance, waiting and hoping that everything was going ok. A few minutes later he saw Brook (the beta wolf) step out of the den and walk towards him. “Congratulations! You are now the proud father of three fine pups!”
Reid immediately ran past Brook and into the den. He slowed his pace as he entered so he wouldn’t alarm the new pups or Rya. As he got a little farther in, he called for her.
“Rya?” he asked gently.
“Over here,” he heard her reply in an exhausted tone. He started beaming as he entered into a different chamber and saw for the first time, his new family.
He slowly padded up to Rya and her three sleeping pups that were nestled up close to her belly. "Oh Rya, im so proud of you for bringing our first three children into this world," Reid said with pure excitement evident in his voice, but with a hushed tone so as not to wake the sleeping pups.
"You better be, it wasn't easy!" Rya said sarcastically.
"Have you thought of any names?" Reid asked, chuckling lightly from hearing that his mate could still joke around even in her exhausted state.
"No. I think thats gonna half to wait a while, I'm too exhausted to try and do anything right now," Rya managed to mumble out, sleep beginning to claim her.
Reid opened his mouth and was about to object, but closed it after he saw that Rya had fallen asleep already. "
Well, i guess the naming is gonna have to wait. She needs the rest anyways," Reid thought to himself, and with that thought he scooted a little closer to Rya, laid his head down next to hers, and soon was asleep as well.
Ten weeks later…
Reid and Rya were sitting on the usual rock, watching their ten week old pups play around with each other. They were wrestling each other, the biggest one always taking the win. Until they decided to gang up on him. It took a little bit, but they eventually took him down.
The biggest one was black with white on his chest, belly and the bottom of his tail, he also has a white patch over his left eye, and a white sock on his left hind leg. His name is Dante, and it is he who Reid thinks will carry on the role of alpha for the pack.
His younger brother who's name is Dustin, looks just like Dante, but he doesn’t have black fur. His is gray. However, his chest, belly and the bottom of his tail are all white as well. He also has the same patch on his eye, and sock on his hind leg, but the sock on his leg is black instead of white.
His sister, whose name is Angel, is the youngest of the three. She looks just like her mother, except she has black tipped ears, the tip of her tail is black, she has a black marking on her back, and her two middle toes on her front right paw are gray. She doesn’t have the same eye patch or sock that her brothers have.
Dustin pinned Dante to the ground and was waiting for Dante to push him off. Just as he had planned, he was thrown off of his brother.
“That all you got bro?” Dante taunted.
“Not quite…NOW!”
Dante didn’t know what was about to happen, until he saw a shadow over him that was quickly getting bigger. He tried to move out of the way, but it was already to late. WHAM!
Angel had hid in a tree and waited for the signal to jump on her brother, and it had just worked perfectly. Both Reid and Rya had seen this and were laughing at Dante being pinned by he’s younger sister.
“Kids, come inside now. Me and your father have to go lead the hunt, and Brook will be over soon to watch you,” Rya said.
“Awww…” they said in unison, with matching disappointment at having their fun come to an early end.
“But we’re having fun! Besides I just pinned Dante!” Angel complained.
“I know, I know, but we can’t just leave you out here by yourselves, your not old enough yet,” her mother replied.
“Ok…” they said, sighing. And reluctantly followed their parents into the den.
“Where are they? They should’ve been back by now,” Dante said, a hint of fear faintly evident in his voice.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’re just fine. They’re probably just having some trouble finding some kill,” Brook assured him.
“No, we should of heard something about how its going by now.” No sooner had he finished he’s sentence then they all heard a howl in the distance.
“What’s it say? What’s it say? Who is it? Who is it?” Angel and Dustin kept asking Dante.
“Shut up and maybe I can tell you!” Dante snapped.
“Ok, sorry” Angel mumbled under her breath.
“Come…quickly...need help…being attacked! Oh my God! It’s Dad!” Dante almost yelped.
Brook suddenly snapped to attention, having no trouble decoding the message in the howl herself, she had figured out the urgency behind it long before Dante had finished translating it to his siblings.
“You guys stay here! I’m going to help them! And what ever you do DON’T leave the den!” She told them. “No, I’m coming with you!” Dante said, determined to help with, and find out what exactly was happening.
“No your not! Your going to stay right here!” Brook said a little louder.
“No! All three of us are going with you, they’ll need all the help they can get!” Dustin said. Brook was starting to get annoyed.
“LISTEN! Your parents put me in charge of you all, and I’m not about let you go and get hurt out there! Now I want all of you to STAY HERE! Do you under stand?!” she yelled, authority clear in her voice.
“Yes ma’am.” They all said quietly.
20 minutes later…
“Aaagghhh! I can’t just sit here and wait for them to come home any longer! I’m going to help them!” Dante snapped, running towards the entrance of the den.
“Dante! Wait!” Dustin yelled as he and Angle ran in front of him, blocking the only way out of the den.
“GET OUT OF MY WAY!” Dante yelled at them angrily.
“NO!” Dustin yelled back.
“Dante think about what you're about to get yourself into!” Angel yelled to her brother, trying to get him to come to his senses.
“I know what I’m about to get myself into, and I don’t care! If it means saving Mom and Dad then I’ll risk my life for them! And if you really loved them, then you’d do the same thing for them!” He yelled to both of them.
“Your right…I’m going to!” Dustin said to Dante, that little fire beginning to come to his eyes that Dante had seen maybe only once or twice before.
“Well Angel, that just leaves you. Stay or go?” Dante asked his sister.
“I don’t know…” she said, not sure what she should do.
“Come on Angel, Mom and Dad need us!” Dante pleaded with her.
“Well…I guess I can’t let
well anyways, thanks man i appreciate it, and yes her name is Angel
