Gwen woke up with Kuro sleeping by her side. She had the biggest smile in the world. "Kuro..."she said softly trying not to wake him.

She thought about everything that happended. He stood by her all night! Even when they mention his mother he...

Kuro yawned and streched beside her."Morning sleepyhead!" said Gwen as she nuzzled him. "Last night was ...I don't know how to say it! That was the most happiest moments in my life. Gwen I'll never leave your side again." he said kissing her.

"Kuro! Your making me blush! You don't know how much I missed you.I couldn't sleep without thinking of you.! "she said.

"Mabey I do too." he said as he walked back to the pack with her. His one true love.

"Master Kuro we have an emergency!" One of wolves said runing to him."What's wrong?" he asked."Its Carmen she's been missing!" The two looked at each other."She wasn't in the den this moring." he said.

"She must of ran away!" said Gwen."But the thing is the brown wolf we found the other day is gone too.!" he said to both of them.They both were shocked.

"Contact a scout!" said Kuro."Already done sir.The elders are making a search right now."the wolf said.

"I'll go to the elders to get a plan wait for me out side the cave." he said to Gwen. She nodded as they ran to the elders'cave.

"Kuro! We understand your feeligs about Carmen but at least fin the pups! They don't deserve death." hone of the wlders began to say. "I know sir! but didn't you say that the brown wolf was from the  daichi (earth)clan?" he asked.

"Yes! They might be hot-headed but I'll bet they can Help us identify amd find the beast. Go there at once!" The elder said. Kuro nodded and left.

As soon as Kuro stepped out of the cave Gwen came to him and said "I'm coming with you!" "Gwen..." "You need help with this, and the pups are about to be born soo they'll need special care!" she said.

Kuro thought that it was pointless to aurgue so he nodded.

THe next morning Gwen Kuro and three other wolves were ready to go!

Three weeks in the mountains they ran.The Leader of the clan block the route to the valley.He was big with dark brown fur. He had a three round green leaves-like markings .It was just like Kuro's three purple swirl markings.

"What business do you have here young one?!" he said in a deep voice. "Please! We ask that you help our clan. We've just been attacked by one of your solders." said Kuro.

"Impossable! All of the solders are accounted for! But.." He trailed off."You were saying..?" said Kuro."We have one of the solders murdered a third of the pack. Tristan!  We shunned him from the pack but he might harm other clans in spite." he said.

"Will you help us them?" he asked him."Yes! I feel guilty that I didn't finish him off when I had a chance!" he said as another wolf came behind him.

"This is Drake his brother and second in command! He knows all his thoughts he can help you!" He said with the grayish fur and blue eyes.

He nodded to Kuro but he stared and eyed Gwen for a moment. "And who might this lovely creature be..?" he said walking towards her.

"My MATE! And I would appreciate if would leave her alone!" Kuro said as he growled at Drake."Okay! Just wondering! I can lead you to him! I know him like I know this land!" he said still looking at Gwen.

"Drake do not touch her or you wll be banished like your brother!" said the leader. Drake looked annoyed but said "Yes sir!"    

They went to a waterfall."Its a dead end!" said Kuro."No its a secreat cave that our clan only knows! Don't tell anyone about it!" he said as he went inside.

"I got a bad feeling about this...." thought Gwen as she followed them to the cave.

"WWho's there?" a weak voice echoed through the cave."Carmen! Its me Kuro!!" he said as he listin to the weak groans to a weak and beaten Carmen with three pups. One female and two males.

"Carmen what happened to you?" Kuro asked her. "KKKuro is that you?" she asked before she ran up to him and cried."It was horrble! he beat me and forced the kids to fight and kill each other." she said between sobs.

"Well Well! Look what the cat dragged in?" a voice came from behind. "So you found us huh!?" he said with a evil smile."Well Drake! You and Carmen did a great job." he said.

"What? Drake and...?"Kuro looked behind him.Carmen slowly started to laugh."Fooled you again huh?! I knew that worthless clan would catch on so I had a back up plan. It only looked like I killed him. I beat myself up to make it look real. The kids are going to be excellent killers With Kuro teaching them! We can live here together Kuro its so much better than the wind clan.

"You faked the whole thing! The kidnapping was just another trap?" Kuro said in anger."Yep! I fooled the leader so I can have a cut. I was really in for it for the hot mate you got there!" he said pulling her away. 

"Let go of me You desgusting mongrel!!" said Gwen as she clawed him in the face."OOH! You firey!" he came again. Kuro stepp between him and Gwen and growled. "Get away from her!!!! Attack you two!!" he ordered the two wolves but they didn't move.

"What are you waiting for?" he shouted. "Sorry we work only for master Drake!" the two walk to Drake."I knew it!" said Gwen.

"Mommy what's going on?" one of the pups. Carmen growled at the pup."What are you doing get back were you belong runt!" she said. The pup whimpered as it ran to the back with the other pups.

"Don't yell at them! You really are a cold hearted snake Carmen!" she yelled to her. "Its a gift! Kuro honey! let's go before these mean guys hurt you!" she said in a soft voice.

Gwen looked at Kuro."He would go with her will he?" she thought. He smiled."Oh no!!" she thought.

"As I told you before Gwen...I will never leave your side!" he said as he growled at the five in front of him."Don't be a fool! Leave that that trash right now!!" Carmen yelled.

Kuro growled louder! "Please the only trash I see is you! You know you only want me is because you can't stand to see Gwen happy with me! You always were jealous of her even when we were pups. That despite that you were the leader's daughter everyone had admire Gwen for what's she been through and thought that you were an empty selfish AIRHEAD!" said Kuro

"Fine! I kill that mutt myself for recking my life!" she said. as she letp to Gwen."Gwen look out!" but the others blocked his way. "Wait Just one minate you saidd I could have her!" said Drake.

"Deal's off!" Carmen said as she cornered Gwen. Gwenlooked at the pups behind her."If she misses she could hurt them!" Gwen thought.

Gwen lepted over Carmen but Drake pinned her down."You will be mine hot stuff!"he said smilimg at the trapped Gwen. Kuro's anger flowed throughout his body."I told you to stay away from her!" he said trying to get the wolves out of the way.

Gwen clawed and bit Drake but he hit her so hard that she was out cold."Gwen!!"Kuro shouted but he was hit too on the head when he wasn't looking.

"What do you want!" said Carmen walking to the back of the cave."Well make it look like they attacked us!" said Tristan.

All of them came back to the leader. "What is the meaning of this?!" he demanded."The young one wanted the secret to the isolated cave.When we said no he attacked us.The female tried to help us but he nocked her out.If Tristan didn't came out he would have killed us!" said Drake.

The leader thought for a moment."Tristin help you?" "Yes he wanted to repent for his sins!"said Drake."It will take more that that to repay the lives he took." sid the leader.

"I know sir! I will watch him to make sure he does. The female can stay with me untill we deal with the leader. "said Drake. "Very well! Put the leader in the cave and guard him untill we charge his crime. Do not touch her!! She is not yours to keep got it?!" he said to Drake.

They dragged Kuro back to the cave.

"Yes sir!" said Drake as turned and smiled as went to his den with Gwen on his back.
