Chapter One: Jealousy
Soft licking and nuzzling were a common thing to do to one's mate. Tsume, of course
loved to nuzzle and re-mark his mate, Toboe. Though Toboe was still only a young pup, Tsume
knew he wasn't ready for pups yet. Leaning against and licking a dominate mate's muzzle was a
common sign of submission, Blue was ok with that, she and Hige were soon expecting their litter
to arrive in about two more weeks. Hige, of course went crazy with excitement and ran into a
wall, a tipical Hige moment. The group was now resting and had a new member of the pack, her
name is Snowfall. She's a quiet, stubborn, beautiful, calm, and the ideal mate for the alpha male
of the pack, Kiba. Now, when Snowfall and Kiba met, they didn't exactly start off on the right
foot so to say. They would throw insults towards the other every chance they got. But soon the
pak realized that they were more along the lines of teasing each other than insulting. Soon, they
were mates and the pack was now officially a pack. With pups on the way the pack had become
a lot more careful than usual.
Toboe yawned and stretched, he nuzzled the fur of Tsume's side and nestled back in. He
glanced at Blue and Hige, they were cuddling with each other, Hige licking Blue now swollen
belly, jealousy flared inside of Toboe. He was jealous of the happy family only ten feet away
from him. Tsume told him that he was still a year to young to have pups yet. But Toboe wanted
them now, he whimpered at the unfairness of it. He hates being so young. Turning away fro mthe
happy couple, Toboe licked Tsume's muzzle to wake him. A deep, soft growl erupted from
Tsume's throat. Toboe whimpered and stopped. Tsume's eyes opened sleepily, mutter in
annoyance, he turned his head so he could see Toboe. " What?" he asked tiredly. Toboe just
buried more tightly against Tsume who was now wearing the look of confusion. " Pup, are you
ok? Did something happen to upset you?" Toboe just whimpered and buried deeper. Tsume
sighed and started to lick Toboe's ears in affection. Tsume felt Toboe lean into the affection and
had seemed to calm down a little. Giving the ear one last lick he stood up and stretched. He
turned his head to see Hige and Blue curled around one another, Hige licking Blue's bulging
stomach in affection. Tsume tilted his head in thought, sure he and Toboe had discussed about
pups, and he flat out told Toboe was to young for such a thing. He had of course seen the pain
and sadness in Toboe's eyes. He shifted and glanced towards Toboe, the runt wanted pups so
badly he was starting to become obsessed with finding a way for him to become pregnant.
Tsume sighed and shook his head. Standing and stretchingt, the gray wolf gave one last lick to Toboe's muzzle
and went off towards a little stream. Tsume looked at his reflection, cringing at the sight of his scar that had
such an awfull past behind it. Maybe he should just let the pup have his wish...
" Kiba, do you know what's wrong with Toboe?" asked worried Snowfall. Kiba sighed and kissed her cheek shaking his head. "No, the pup is probably sulking about something
Tsume wouldn't give him. She looked disgrunted,"I doubt that it's something petty," she murmured to herself. Kiba looked perplexed, having heard her talking to herself. Snowfall
walked towards Blue, shaking the young she-wolf."Come on Blue, we need to talk to Toboe soon." Blue stared burry eyed at Snowfall, then nodded her head. 'Why am I too
young to have pup?' Thought the sorrowful pup. Maybe Tsume diden't want a pup with him, or he was inaduquate for him. Sighing in disppear, Toboe arose and walkied off
towards the wooded area. While Toboe pondered, Tsume was sulking in self pity.
'Why does that damn pup keep on begging me for a litter? Why bother, I would most likely be the worst father in the world. And the pup can wait another year.' Tsume
mind kept on repeating this over and over again, till he seemed brain-washed with the fact that Toboe was too young. Still it tugged at his heart when he saw the hurt in his pups
eyes. Kiba watched as Tsume battled his inner-demons, different emotions filtering across his face so quickly they seemed to be gone in a matter of seconds. They could only hope
that Tsume and Toboe survive as mates...
