Chapter 1:

A silver she-cat opened her eyes to a dark forest shrouded in mist. Her initial shock was replaced with joy when she saw two ice-blue eyes in the darkness. "Hawkfrost!" The she-cat ran to the dark brown tom and thrusted her muzzle into his fur. "After everything that has happened, I still love you. And now my belly is heavy with your kits. What are we going to do?" But the tom stayed silent. The silver cat closed her dark blue eyes and pressed closer to her former mate. "I love you, Hawkfrost. I will always love you, no matter what you do." The tom purred. "Ivypool, you know I feel the same. And I will always be with you. I know you will raise our kits well. I only ask you to name one after me. No one will know. Promise me you will." Ivypool nodded.

"I will."
