Chapter 1: To Life

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" echoed loudly in the early morning air.

Everybody in the neighborhood knew what it means… Finally the time has come. Katherine, an alpha wolf, was pregnant and about to go into labour. Other twinging screams can be heared into the warm, yet still cool air of a end summer morning. It was possible to see two blurs dashing through the thick forest that surrounded Katherine's den, hiding almost totally its entrance . Infact she has been located there to give her more safety and protection from any dangers to her pregnancy and, of course, to her pups.

Things in that pack become harder after she come for aid. Around there the food was exiguous, the pack was already starving, and then, they founded themselves to have another mouth to be feeded . For this reason, a lot of wolves in the pack frowned upon her staying there and "stealing" their food from their mouths. But head alpha wolves were clear about that…she would stay there until she was able to walk and take care of her pups. They found her in a pretty bad situation. She was badly wounded and, despite the delicate situation they were in, they took the decision to help her through that. But they're the only ones who decided to help her. Other wolves decided to ignore her, sawing her as the reason that would lead them to die, due to lack of food, but they also probably thought whoever had reduced her to that condition was still out there, searching for her to accomplish the kill, and almost all were scared to die murdered by this clearly ruthless and insane wolf. In short time, they got along very well, maybe because they keep saying she looked and acted very similar to their lost daughter.

The alpha leader wolves of this pack, Aura and Helios, were running at their top speed to Katherine's den, ready to help her through the labour. When they arrived, Aura told Helios to go get some water to the near pond, while she gets in the den and starts to assist Katherine.
"Oh finally you're he-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" She managed to yell a scream that threatened to split her ears in half if Aura was closer. Aura ran over her and begin to check if everything was ok. She took note of the amount of blood that was on the floor, due to the labour, and begin to comfort her.

"Oh dear, you have to breath deeply, and when i tell you, you have to push strongly, ok?" She said with a calm, soothing but firm voice, and Katherine tried to nod, but the unbearable pain was forcing her body to twist in unnatural manners.

She was trying hard to keep her head up, to avoid the view of what was happening to her, frightened by faint. She rememberd then Aura's word to keep breathing deeply, and after, when she said, Katherine pushed with all her leftover strenght. She kept pushing, and pushing, until she felt somehow light, both physically and mentally… She was on the verge of passing out due to tremendous effort, but something happened that kept her wide awake.

A scream, followed by weeping.

She turned to Aura to see her smiling widely and proudly said: "It's a boy, and he's healty…what do you want more from life? Long time since I've been present at life's miracle, and every time I see it, it makes me feel like it was the first time".

Katherine's eyes were pouring down tears of joy like waterfalls. Never once she imagined she would become a mother.
She asked to Aura with a whisper , exhausted from the previous session, but with a smile that filled all her face:

" Can i see my baby boy?"

"Of course you can, honey" She answered.
Then Aura put the weeping newborn beside his mother and she begin to lick him all over to clean him, then he began to nibble one of her breast and starting to nurse. Katherine noticed that in all this time a smile had never left his face, and for this reason he thought a good and fit name for him: she wanted to call him Grin.

Aura began to speak to her: "So, have you already thought about a name for him yet?"

"Yeah" Katherine said "But I just came to a name that I think it's gonna fit him like a glove: what do you think about… Grin?"she asked to Aura.
Aura noticed his attitude, too, and answered "I think there couldn't be a best name for him" with a smile.

Then they observed him stopping nurse, emitting a squeaky, cute yawn, curling into a tiny ball and drifted to sleep. Katherine's motherly instinct kicked in, and she curled his tail over him to keep him as warm as possible.

Afterward, Aura's smile altered into a frown. She forgot about something, but she didn't figured it out until it hit her like a brick.

Here eyes widened for the realization: her husband was missing.

She didn't want to worry Katherine more, so she gave her apologies, saying that she surely was tired and wanted to rest, and she was leaving. After Katherine thanked her for her support and bid their farewells to each other, Aura went out Katherine's den.

When she was padding to her den, determined to find Helios, she saw something that scarred her for the rest of her wretched days.

She saw a lifeless wolf's body , his shoulders deeply covered with deep wounds and scratches, a pool of blood underneath him, his forelegs flexed in a unnatural manner.

Looking closer, she recognized him. His soulmate was lying lifeless on the ground.

Tears were deeply forming in her eyes ,ready to leave her eyes to reach the ground in no time. She started sobbing into the breathless wolf's fur, crying . She felt her heart torn into million of little pieces that melt away like sand trown into the sea. She couldn't breath anymore, the sorrow, the ache was too strong to be beared. Her eyes weren't anymore the same: the death of someone beloved can really steal the fire, the passion, the will to live from your soul.

She stayed there, unable to do anything, only able to sit near his husband's empty shell.

Suddenly, she saw a wolf shape blurring through some nearby bushes, but she had no time to react to his fatal blow. Within a few seconds, she found herself gasping for air,blood pouring from a a large gash in her neck, but she could finally see who did all this, who killed her mate, who was threatening the safety of their pack, who wants revenge.
In her final moments she managed to yell at top of her lungs:
"YOU…!"She said in a hatred tone" …You will pay for what you've done… In this life or in another!" Then her eyes rolled back, passing out and stopping breathing.

The tan-brownish wolf stood high, licking and tasting the blood on his paw with a devious smile on his face. "How come blood tastes so well…Especially when head alphas are my quarry?" He thought to himself, chuckling while savouring the taste, the sick smile never leaving the side of his face. But suddenly, with a swift motion, he slapped himself on his face.
"Stay focused, Waylon, you're gonna taste a blood that probably is the sweetest of all… the one that belongs to the woman that betrayed you" His sick smile, in an unnatural way, widened even more.

"I'm coming home, my dear love…" He started humming, heading to the hidden den.

Yeah,i know, i have to improve a lot... However, i think sometimes i'm gonna change or get some period longer... and if you identify some grammar or syntax error, please report them to me... I would fix them immediately!
