So people, I would like you to know that this is an AU. If you don't like 'em, don't read it.

Although, I find that the werewolf scene suits me.

This is only my second fic for this series, so please be a little bit nice.

The large midnight colored wolf held the pup by the scruff of her neck. He couldn't understand how his long-time mate turned her face from this particular one. He could still see the joy on her face when their other two sons had been born. In fact, he could even remember the night they had afterwards.

Perhaps it was the silver-blue eyes the girl had. Or that in her human form, she could already talk. Most pups needed to be around human speak for some time before they could learn it well enough for them to speak it. An occurrence like that was rare and unusual. Or the fact that she was one too many. Her being a girl could have something to do with it. The unusual silver and blue dots across her back were also rare, and an omen. A sign of good or bad, it was unknown.

Oh well. His mate would never be happy if they kept the pup. Having an unhappy mate was not something he wanted to go through with again. One time was enough.

He set her down gently on the forest floor, under the protection of a large tree. Although, unless someone found her and took her in, the tree, large as it was, wouldn't be enough to protect her from the wind and snow from this winter.

He frowned. It wasn't right.

But, he sort of knew why his mate didn't want her. The new pack they were looking into and wanted to join only let in families of four. Kaoru would be one too many.

His mate wouldn't want to give up a son. A son was an excellent way to keep his legacy going. A female pup would be nothing when it came to his legacy and his two sons were more than enough.

Having Kaoru wasn't part of the plan. Besides, the pack wouldn't allow them in with her as a part of their family. Perhaps leaving her would be for the best.

Firmly set in his decision, he turned and walked away, back towards home.

*Teardrops falling on the floor.*

This is so sad. Poor Kaoru. I think I am messed up in the head a bit.

I have some ideas on how to continue this thing. Unless I get some more ideas from y'all and feedback, this'll probably stay a one-shot.

So yeah.

If you hit the review button and don't light me on fire, YOU WILL WIN A VIRTUAL COOKIE!! YAY!

And I want honest criticism; unless you're my hag for an English teacher. Then you can sugar coat it.
