Korra's POV

After my little encounter with Iroh he asked to meet with me to discuss the patrols. Though I wasn't Alpha, I was still second in command when I was in town. I agreed and he let me go back to the main house. Katara was there and I sat by her feet, waiting for night to come so I could meet Asami.

I smiled. It had been a while since I had seen her and we had lots of catching up to do. The elder caressed my cheek when my temple rested against her lap.

"What's on your mind?" she asked.

I sighed. "I went to the South Pole about a year ago," I answered, my voice somewhat distant. "It's so…different. So dead. It wasn't like that before. It's…cold."

We stayed in silence for a moment before she spoke. "It hasn't been inhabited for years," Katara began. "Our kind was the only people known to withstand the cold winter. When the hunting began…we had no choice but to leave."

"I'm forgetting what they looked like," I admitted, a knot forming in my throat. My parents were a sensitive topic, they always had been. Katara was the only person I would openly talk to about them. She was like a second mother to me, having practically raised me.

"I know," she said. "It wasn't easy for you to deal with so much pain at such a young age. You were still a baby. But just know that they loved you more than anything else in the world. You were their only child, the symbol of their love."

"But I don't remember them anymore," I repeated. "Their faces are blurry." I felt guilty about this. I felt as if I were somehow betraying them.

"Korra, it's been almost three centuries," Katara replied gently. "I sometimes forget what Aang looked like."

"I miss them."

A pause. "Close your eyes," she said.

I did as I was told and for a moment all I saw was darkness. But then I began to see flashes of memories. I saw my parents when they were dating, till they got married, to when I was born. They looked so happy, so in love.

One memory caught my attention in particular. My mom was cradling me close to her chest, while my father stroked my cheek with his thumb. They were singing a lullaby to me, my father somewhat off key next to my mother's sweet voice. This had been a month before they died.

I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at Katara, smiling at her. The elder smiled back and I got up to hug her. "Thank you," I whispered before glancing at the clock. It was almost time for me to meet up with Asami. "I'll be back later," I added, getting up.

"Be careful," she called as I ran down the steps.

Asami's POV

I told my dad I was going to catch up with an old friend and left to meet Korra on the outskirts of town. I didn't have to lie about it either. I had to admit that knowing there were werewolves out there kind of scared me, knowing I unwillingly belonged to the group they hated.

I stood there for a while before I noticed Korra walking towards me, except she wasn't in her human form. I smiled and ran up to her, hugging her tightly around the neck. Korra let out what could've been considered a chuckle, her chest rumbling.

I stepped back, a mischievous grin on my face. "You don't have fleas do you?" I asked. The wolf rolled its eyes and shook her head. I laughed and she lay on her belly, motioning me with her large head to get on. I smiled at this and quickly did as I was told. "Where are we going?"

Korra turned to look at me before letting her tongue roll out of her mouth, her wolfish grin. I laughed at this and shook my head. She waited for me to hang on before she started running further out of town. Finally after a few minutes she stopped and lay on her belly again. I got off and she went to a nearby tree to morph back.

"It's been a long time since I've did that," I said when I saw her head towards me, fully dressed.

"Yeah, I know," she answered, sitting down next to me. "Is it still fun for you?"

I nodded. "Yes, it gives me this sense of…freedom I guess." I still preferred my bike though. Riding on something that had a mind of its own was still strange to me. But I didn't mind it.

She nodded as well. "That's something I like about being a werewolf. The sense of freedom when you run, it feels…amazing."

A moment of silence. "Why aren't you Alpha yet?" I asked. We'd had this conversation numerous times before. It sort of upset me that she wouldn't take what rightfully belonged to her.

"I told you already. I don't want to lead anything."

"But why not?" I insisted. "You would be a great Alpha."

"I wouldn't be too sure," Korra answered. I could hear some doubt in her voice. "I don't like taking the will of others away."

"You were born to lead them. I don't think they would look at it that way."

"Enough on the subject, Asami," she finally snapped. "I'm not going to be Alpha. End of story."

I winced a little at her tone. It infuriated me that she didn't see what everyone else saw: a natural born leader. I knew she would do great if she ever did take the title. And I could tell she actually cared about the other wolves.

We stayed in silence for a while before I decided to move on to the next subject.

"Have you imprinted?"

Korra made a face and shook her head., making her distaste obvious. I laughed. It was the one thing she probably hated more than being the rightful Alpha.

"Why do you hate the idea so much?"

"Because when you imprint you don't belong to yourself anymore, everything changes. You change," she answered. "And it hurts people. I've seen Lin's memories. She was with Tenzin for who knows how long and he just looked at Pema and Lin didn't matter anymore. It's stupid."

I sighed. I guess Korra had a point, but I couldn't wait till the day she imprinted. I couldnt help but think she would be so much happier. "Would you even know if you imprinted?" I teased after a while.

Korra rolled her eyes. "Of course I would."

"How?" I asked, already knowing the answer. I loved hearing about imprinting, the subject itself, the very idea fascinated me. It was such a rare yet intriguing event.

Korra sighed and I could tell she humoring me. "When you look at him or her, it-it's like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time," she said. "Nothing matters anymore. You're main purpose is to make them happy, to become whatever they need you to be." Listening to her, I couldn't help but think maybe it wasn't that she hated the idea of imprinting, but perhaps she was actually scared of it.

"I know you'll imprint someday," I assured, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "And when you do, I call dibs on bridesmaid."

Korra let out a snort. "Don't hold your breath," she muttered, though she had a small grin on her face. "But enough about me. What have you been doing the last five years?"

I smiled broadly at this. "I met this wonderful man, Mako," I began. "He's a sweet guy, really sweet and smart, and well…we're getting married!" I cried happily.

My best friend laughed and smiled at this. "That's great."

"Aren't you going to say something else than that?"

She furrowed her brow in confusion. "Uh-what else is there for me to say?"

I sighed impatiently. You'd think after 200 years she wouldn't be so oblivious."I said I called dibs on bridesmaid, so…"

"So what?"

"Korra!" I practically yelled, punching her in the shoulder.

She chuckled at that before nodding, rubbing the spot I'd hit. "Fine," Korra replied. "If it makes you happy I'll be your bridesmaid. But you will have to explain to your father how a 22-year old knows a 17-year old."

"You mean a two hundred and something year old," I corrected teasingly.

"Whatever," she answered.

I laughed at that. For the rest of the night we continued to catch up on what had been going on in our lives. I had to admit I was happy and excited Korra was here. I really wanted her to be with me on the day that was going to be the most important in my life. I knew I would be there for hers. I hoped she imprinted soon, so we could both have our happy endings. Though for Korra it would be more of an eternity, but it didn't matter as long as we were both happy.

Answering Q's:

Yes it's Makorra, but its more complicated than that...it will be one sided for a while.

Asami is 22, Mako is 23, Bolin is 21 (frozen at this age).

No Mako and Bolin are not blood suckers (vampires). Mako is human and Bolin is a werewolf.

Vampires will not sparkle.
