"How can I live without him? Mom he was the best thing that has happened in my life," a white female wolf said.
"I know, your father and I have never seen you so happy. So Amber we were thinking…" a brown she – wolf trailed.
"We as in who?" Amber asked.
"Your father and I. we think you're ready to… we think you should go find him, go look for Tsume. For your true love," Amber's mother said.
Amber's ears perked and her tail started wagging, "Oh mom thank you so much. Dad didn't approve did he?"
"No, now go; before he hears," the she – wolf said.
Amber turned and ran off, she was off to search for a gray male wolf, and the older female looked on and watched as her only pup ran to find the male of her dreams.
Amber traveled for miles before she curled up under a tree and fell asleep.
The next morning, Amber got up and continued on her way. She caught the scent of Toboe the young pup traveling with Tsume.
Amber knew that wolves weren't too much further so she went full out and ran after the scent. Her heart pounded and the scents of the four males got stronger, and she got excited.
She stopped atop of a hill and looked around, after running like she did her body was very tired and very sore. When she looked down she saw the males' backs and behind them was the male she has fallen in love with, "Tsume!"
The three males stopped, but one didn't. Toboe genially took Tsume's tail into jaw and lightly tugged.
Tsume then turned and in the corner of his golden eye he saw a white wolf on the hill, he turned to see Kiba ahead of the pack. He looked back to the wolf on the hill and he was able to see the amber green eyes of the wolf.
Amber took two steps forward, her muscles exploded with new found energy and she ran down the hill, Tsume walked away from the others.
Amber leaped the rest of the way down, Tsume and Amber were in human form and Tsume caught the she – wolf and spun around.
Amber's arms went around Tsume's neck and her lips genially laid on his. Her feet were now on the ground and Amber's hands moved to his chest, his hands were on Amber's hips.
"Tsume, I…" the white haired teen cut her off by crashing his lips against hers.
Hige covered Toboe's eyes and shook his head, "Get a cave!"
Amber pulled away, she looked over at Hige, "Are there any around?"
Tsume was amused by how Amber's behavior was and then it hit him, Kiba had them move for five months little rest, and they walked. Amber, however, caught up in less than two months, "Amber how did you… how long were you out here?"
"About two months, I ran the whole time. Don't worry I rested, and remember the month before you left? Three nights before?" Amber said.
"How can I forget, I made you my mate and your father chased us out," Tsume said looking away.
"Mmhmm, well how many months has I been?" she asked.
Toboe moved away from Hige and saw Amber, he notice that her once tiny stomach is now a little bigger, "Amber why is your stomach getting bigger?"
Amber smiled and walked up to Toboe, "Keep it a secret, I'm having pups."
The pup looked at Tsume then to Amber who had a big smile.
Amber turned to Tsume and looked over at Kiba, "Um Kiba, do you mind going on? I'd like to talk to Tsume."
Hige Toboe and Kiba walked off, Tsume walked up to his mate and gentility laid his hand on Amber's belly, "You're pregnant?"
"Yea, almost four months now," she answered.
"Four months? Amber does your parents know or at least your mother," Tsume asked.
"Mom told me to find you, so yea they both know I'm with your pups. Dad's not too happy, at me and with himself for chasing you out," Amber said.
"Amber, one more time or wait until after you have them? We'll catch up to the others later," Tsume asked. The two walked passed a cluster of trees, Tsume stopped and pulled Amber close to him. They kissed and made love for the second time since they met eight months ago, they walked together and Amber had Tsume's hand in hers. She rested her head on his shoulder, Tsume looked at her belly and smirked, "We're really going to have pups."
"Yes, I think there are three," Amber said with a smile and touched her belly.
The two wolves met up with the other three, "Geeze, what were you tow doing?" Hige asked.
"Nothing, just came clean with him, and when Tsume's ready. He'll tell you," Amber replied looking up at her mate. Tsume nodded then went off hunting; Amber sat with Toboe who was in a river by the area where the pack stopped.
Toboe swam up to Amber and looked at her belly, "Are you really having pups? Is… is Tsume the father?"
"Yes, and absolutely, what do you think?" the white female wolf asked.
Toboe looked at Amber with a smile, "That's awesome! You're going to be a mom and Tsume will be a dad."
Amber splashed the pup and smiled, "Yes, that will happen, and you will help us watch the pups. You're going to be an uncle."
"Really, how?" Toboe asked.
"You're Tsume's brother aren't you?" Amber asked.
Toboe nodded Amber caught the scent of Hige, she lowered and Hige got closer. Toboe looked over and saw Hige at the river's edge, Amber growled, "Can we help you, Hige?"
"Just letting you know, Tsume Kiba and I are coming in," Hige said then left.
Toboe watched Amber swim up to a waterfall, "Tobi, if Tsume asks for me; say I'm in here." Amber went behind the waterfall and into a warm cave, "Hey Runt," Hige greeted.
"Where's Amber," Tsume asked.
"Over there, she wanted to get away from Hige," Toboe said.
Tsume dove and fallowed Amber's scent, it was faint, but he found her.
In a warm cave, Amber sat in a hot bath, it felt heavenly. Tsume entered the pool and moved behind his mate, then wrapped his arms around Amber's waist.
"Hey how was hunting?" Amber asked.
Tsume felt Amber's belly twitch and smirked, "They're lively."
"No not yet. They're just getting ready for a nap, I told Toboe he could help with the babies and since he's your brother he'll be the babies' uncle," Amber said.
The brown haired teen turned to Tsume, "I'm worried Tsume, Hige's so immature and around the pups… I'm scared for them."
"Don't worry, they'll be safe. After all I'm their father," Tsume said kissing Amber's forehead.
