I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!!!

Chapter 1:

Taha Aki stared at his wife's lifeless body. Two days had passed since her death and the defeat of the Cold Woman and his voice was hoarse from howling. Taha Aki hadn't moved from the spot, eaten, or phased back to his human form. He growled when someone got near, even his own sons. Taha Aki was heartbroken over his loss.

He couldn't imagine life without her, and didn't plan to outlive her by long. His sons would take over as wolf protectors of the tribe, and on his second day of no food he was close to starvation.

Unless…

He suddenly remembered a legend about the first spirit-chiefs. One of their wives had died at a young age, brutally murdered, and the spirit warrior had used ancient magic to revive her.

Taha Aki sat up with interest. His huge wolf body loomed over the woman's still corpse. He used a claw to ever so carefully re open her wound. He didn't switch back to human form, knowing the hunger drive would weaken him greatly; it was thanks to his wolf self's strength that allowed him to stand. Taha Aki winced as he saw a little blood creep out of her cut, but continued on.

He held one of his paws above her and, standing on his hind legs, used his other front paw to slice it. A warm drop of blood fell from it, onto her, and into her through the gash. It bubbled as it met her cold blood, but melted in with hers and soon he could only tell it was there by smell.

Taha Aki waited an hour before he gave up. In the legend, as soon as the two lovers' blood had met, she had jumped up, alive. He whimpered softly, curling around his mates body and gave up his human self without realizing it. His wolf body took over and Taha Aki's spirit slipped away, leaving the wolf alone. The great animal stood up weakly and left to hunt, forgetting everything he had known about his love and his tribe.

Meanwhile, in the young woman's body, the spirit began to stir.

For your information, Taha Aki the wolf lived a long life and died of old age. I felt bad about him dying, so I let the human self slip away with the third wife and the wolf self live on. Please review! I might start another chapter… depending on whether or not I'm doing my homework soon. (Oh yeah, this coming from a nerd )
