A Long Author's Note: First I'd like to say that it a sequel to "Behind the Foxes Eyes" isn't needed. I loved how it ended and it was fun to write. So I decided to do a sequel for fun! So no it wasn't necessary but I wanted to do this and I hope this one is just as enjoyable as the previous one. I also like the wide amount of inspiration I was able to give off to other author's, THAT was the real treat in the last installment. Oh, and if you haven't read "Behind the Foxes Eyes" then I'd really like it if you did, as this fic does make references back to that. However, even though this is a sequel it is NOT necessary to read "Behind the Foxes Eyes" to better understand this. So if you didn't read "Behind the Foxes Eyes" don't worry about it. I make references but nothing big. . Oh, let me tell you (and I'm going to stress it) this fic does NOT take place in the SF timeline it's an AU. So if you dislike it and leave a review it better not be for that reason because you have been warned!

My second thing is to tell you all what inspired this one. This is indeed a Katt/Wolf/OC pairing fic. So again I'm doing another fic with a love triangle, as many have said, I'm very good at love triangles. I chose to use Wolf instead of Falco for what I think is a pretty good reason. I feel that there isn't enough variety in a lot of these romance fics I read. It's always Fox/Krystal and Falco/Katt. They're very common and I don't see much else. It's always Fox/Krystal or Falco/Katt. Not enough variety if you ask me. Don't mean to sound a little biased or anything, I think a lot of them are brilliantly done, but it's the pairing. So while Fox and Krystal will be in this fic it isn't meant to be centered around them. It's meant to be centered around Katt, Wolf and Shane my famous original character (well, somewhat). Well, enough about what inspired me to do this piece of writing, what matters to me is that you enjoy it. Which brings me to another point. Please don't flame. Constructive criticism I can deal with, but simply saying "Your fic blows goats for quarters" isn't what I want. I want to improve my writing, not stop. Enough with this HUGE note.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Star Fox, Nintendo and/or Rare do. Any relation to my original characters (Shane, Mia, Jon and possibly new characters) is entirely coincidental.

Chapter 1: The Lone Wolf

The woods that surrounded Zoness were dark and deep. The secrets of the forest were unknown to many furs. Rumors had been spreading of a mansion covered in moss. These were not rumors, but they seemed like it. No one had ever actually SEEN the mansion before. In this mansion a wolf resided. This wolf kept to himself most times.

This wolf wasn't ruthless, but he didn't much like anyone who passed by. Often times he watched as furs…and on occasion people, pass by his camouflaged home that was in the forest a little north of Zoness. The wolf didn't like humans much. After all, it was about five years ago when a human took his right eye. For that he vowed that he'd never trust any human again. He barely escaped with his life that day, but the nightmares still haunted him.

***Five years ago…

He remembered the day well. He was on his way to Corneria on an errand that day. It was a nice day out and of course nothing could've gone wrong. Somehow he'd taken the wrong turn and ended up at the foot of a mansion.

The lupine, who's name was Wolf, found himself lost. Of course he wasn't much for the rich either, not back then anyway. Wolf knocked on the doors of the mansion and when a man in blonde hair answered, Wolf had only been asking for directions to Corneria.

The human didn't care for Wolf. He seemed trustworthy at first, but it turned out that he was after something…the lupine's fur.

The human didn't waste any time grabbing his…what was it called? A hunting rifle! Wolf had only heard stories about such devices before then but didn't know they existed.

The rifle was pointed straight at his chest, and Wolf knew right then and there that if he valued his life, he'd better run. It was pure instinct. He knew that the bullet was going to hurt…or other wise kill him.

Wolf ran down the stairs from the mansion as a shot grazed his arm. Luckily, Wolf was much more agile than the human. Looking back, Wolf realized that he was lucky. After just that one shot the hunter immediately had to reload.

Wolf darted into the forest as fast as he could. The hunter didn't give up his relentless chase to kill him. Wolf had never met such an "anti-fur" as many humans were often called.

Wolf ran deep into the woods and quickly hid behind a tree, his eyes darting left and right. Unfortunately he had no idea just how well this hunter knew the forest at that time. Wolf ceased his breathing. He could've made it easier if he had just climbed the tree, but he feared that he'd take too long if he attempted that.

There was silence. Nothing could be heard but the sound of his own inner breathing. He wanted to see where the hunter chasing him was, but he was afraid to do it. If he did, then he'd be dead in an instant. At least the sun wasn't out so it would delay any actions right? Wolf hoped so.

BAM! A shot! Birds everywhere flew out of the trees and Wolf began to breathe heavily again. His heart was racing and he couldn't help but peak around the tree. There the hunter was! Kneeling over a bear…his prey! It took Wolf all he could to keep from hurling.

'If I'm fast enough I can get the hell out of here!' Wolf thought, but the hunter was too close. If Wolf was lucky then his hunter would pass him.

He kept his back to the tree. That was all that he could hope for. It was then that he felt a sharp pain in his right side. He screamed in agony and looked to his right and there was his hunter!

Wolf slumped to the ground feeling pain. As he slumped to the ground the dagger was removed and Wolf was on the ground with his paw on his wound. Blood! This was his own flesh and blood!

Wolf looked up at the hunter and saw his life flash before his eyes. His short lived life. The gun was directly in his face, and the hunter then pulled the trigger…

Click! Empty! The gun was empty! Wolf staggered up and realized that if he wanted to get away, now would be the time. The hunter didn't appear to want to let that happen and he was immediately on Wolf. "You won't escape!" His words flushed out cold. He had Wolf pinned to the ground and there was nothing Wolf could do about it. His blood painted the grass red, and once more Wolf thought he was going to die.

It was then the hunter realized, he was out of ammo! He kept himself rested on Wolf's body and fumbled around to find a bullet, but there was nothing! There was nothing else the hunter could bring himself to do. He took the dagger and forced it down on Wolf.

Wolf found the strength to grab his arm and keep the dagger from drawing closer and closer to his throat. He may have been hurt but he found the strength to kick the hunter in the back. Wolf was hoping that it would cause the dagger to be flailed off in another direction but that didn't happen. It caused to slash across his right eye! He'd probably never be able to see out of it again, but at least the dagger was now on the ground and out of the hunter's hand.

Wolf managed to kick the man off of him, and with almost no remorse, grabbed the dagger and flailed it at him. The dagger missed due to the fact that the man was on Wolf's right side, and not his left.

The hunter never got his dagger back, and now realized that he'd lost to a fur for the very first time. "Consider yourself lucky!" The hunter warned. "Not many animals escape from me!" Then the hunter was gone.

Wolf stumbled around for a moment, holding his side when he stepped on something. It was the dagger. But he had to get help, and he was already lost. It seemed hopeless. He stumbled around for a bit longer before darkness took him away…

***

He awoke to find himself safe and unharmed suddenly. "Where am I?" He coughed out loud. Everything looked blurry to him and he could make out a nurse coming by.

"You were out cold in the forest, a platinum vixen and a pink cat brought you here. If you don't know, you're in the village of Zoness. Your rescuers didn't stay long. But you looked pretty bad. They say you had this with you." The nurse said as she held up a dagger. "Does this belong to you?"

"Yes…" Wolf managed to say. "It does." This would be his reminder. A reminder to him that humans were never to be trusted.

"And it looks like we can't do anything for your eye." The nurse spoke again. "So that patch will have to do."

Wolf then felt along his head and there was a patch. He didn't like this at all, but he would probably get used to it.

"So what do I call you then?" Wolf asked.

The nurse turned around. She was a husky with the most peculiar thing about her. Her fur was a jade green…which is how she got her name. "My name is Jade, and I'll be taking care of you from now on."

Jade…what a nice name. Wolf would remember her for a long time to come.

***Present day

Wolf still had the nightmare at night, and it still haunted him. He couldn't remember the name of the human anymore, but he always remembered Jade. Jade had taken care of him.

They had a romantic moment, but it didn't last. For that they remained just friends. But since then, Wolf never found himself to love again. The only thing that he wanted to know more about that day is who his rescuers were. He never found out. He got a vague description and that was about it.

Wolf reached into a drawer as he sat in the den of his rather small mansion. It was no where near as big as the hunter's. He reached into a drawer and pulled the dagger that the hunter held that day. The blood was still there, and Wolf used that as a reminder, Humans are never to be trusted.

A/N: I know, a LONG author's note and a short chapter. This is only a prologue, and I thought this would put quite a twist on things in the beginning for Wolf, knowing that he's going to meet the human that tried to kill him…only he's not a human.
