The Lone Wolf

The wind of change

    "Well, I guess that takes care of our little problem," Dora cheerfully communicated to Chase and Kane through their pack link, as she looked down to the head laying at her feet "can we go home now?" 

    "Aren't you at all concerned about what just happened," Chase asked, "who was that wolf? Whose pack does it belong to? What was it doing here?"

    "Probably just another rogue," Dora answered absentmindedly, already thinking about the warm dinner waiting for her at home, "what difference does it make? It's not in our territory and it's gone already. We should just go home and let daddy know that it's taken care of. Your only concern with it be to thank it, for doing the job for us."

    "It didn't look like any rogue that I've ever seen before," Chase wouldn't let go," and did you see the size of it?" he continued, "It was massive! And have you ever seen a wolf with blue eyes? This is going to bring trouble." 

    "The only thing that's going to bring you trouble right now is me if we don't make it back in time for dinner," Dora hissed through her teeth, at that moment she reminded Chase more of a cat, than a wolf, "can't you just stop arguing with me for once?" 

    The two of them continued bickering like an old married couple, without even noticing that Kane was no longer with them. He had already run alongside of the stonewall for good twenty minutes but there still didn't seem to be an end to it and it was too steep to climb up. But he had to find a way up. He had to find her. That she-wolf was his mate, his wolf felt it, but more importantly, he felt it as well.  Kane couldn't let her just disappear like that. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't just come down to him. Didn’t she feel the same uncontrollable urge when their eyes met, that surge of strange energy, almost like electricity suddenly pulsing through the body? He was starting to make himself and his wolf depressed with all the dark thoughts running wild in his head, when Chase suddenly called out his name, bringing him back to reality.  

    "Kane, I take no pleasure in saying this, but Dora is right," he almost whispered the last part, "we need to go back and report this to the Alpha."

    "You're right," he answered hesitantly, torn between his duties to the pack and finding his mate, "father will want to hear about this." 

    The three of them started heading back to the direction of their territory, Kane stopped for a second and glanced back to where he first saw the white wolf, though this time all he could see were the dark clouds and the wind bending the ancient forest to its will, tearing off leaves from branches and bringing a storm towards them. Little did he know then, that storm wouldn't be the only thing this wind would bring upon him tonight.
