Decca climbed the rocky mountain side as he searched for his quarry. What was he searching for? It was some oddly shaped leaves that Sasha loved. As this was the last day of their six-month long 'marriage contract' he wanted to make everything perfect for her, after all they were to be wed the next day. While others may find this hard to believe, while considering he was only five he was actually considered an adult at the age of one, Decca knew without a doubt that he truly loved Sasha. He had known for quite some time how he felt about her, he only hoped that she loved him back and wasn't only marrying him because she had to. As he thought about this he realized he had come to the place he had last seen the leaves. He could not understand how she thought the mixture of leaves and meats tasted good but he decided to try it for her. Quickly grabbing some of the leaves and rabbits he caught earlier in the day, he started to make his way back down the mountain, about half way down he picked up a scent. 'Blood?' he thought. He dropped what he was carrying and rushed back to the den. On the way, it started pouring rain
What he saw horrified him, there was blood everywhere. No matter where he turned, his gaze fell upon nothing but red. Worse yet, he could not find Sasha anywhere. No matter where he looked, she could not be seen. He ran through the rain desperately trying to get some clue as to where she might be .Decca finally picked up her scent on an old deer trail. Following it he found it led to an enormous river one that was still gorging itself on the heavy rains…a flash flood had begun! And low and behold, there right in the middle of the river hanging on to a log wedged between two boulders, was Sasha.
"Sasha!" Decca yelled.
"Decca, help me!" she called. She started to slip so Decca, looking around and spotting some vines, grabbed one and jumped in after her. He swam as hard as he could but try as he might he could not gain any ground. As she continued to slip, she kept calling for him asking him to help her.
"Decca, please! Hurry! Help me!"
" Hang on Sasha! I'm coming! I'm going to get you, don't worry!" he called back. Then just as he got to her, he heard one final time.
"Decca." She whispered…and then she was gone. Being swept under the current after losing her grip
"No, Sasha! Saaashaa!" he yelled.
[P-d]
He slowly made his way back to the den that night immediately going into a fitful slumber.
The next morning, the day he was to marry her, he ventured back the forty and some odd miles to the eastern pack.
***-wolf's howl in the background-***

Decca snapped out of his reverie as he ventured the final turn to howling peak, he had decided to meet up with the other Omegas and was meeting them at the base of the mountain. Coming up to them, he noticed lily was there as well.
"Hey Lily, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be with garth." He asked.
"He couldn't make it. Something about preparing for, uhh well, you know." She glanced at the other omegas nervously, unsure if they were allowed to know. "Personally I think he's still nervous about his howling skills."
"Well I would be too if I sounded like him." Shakey said, earning a glare from lily.
"Come on guys enough fighting it's time to enjoy the night, speaking of which…lily is Kate going to show up tonight?" Decca asked
"I highly doubt it; she's still kind of…well, murderously pissed towards you, Decca."
"Well we can't always get what we want I guess."
They started up towards the peak simply chatting along the way. Shakey ended up finally getting a date with one of the betas.
"Wish me luck!" he said as he was dragged away from the others.
"You'll need it!" mooch replied.

It was halfway through the night and everybody had a partner for the howl. Except Decca, no matter what he did he couldn't find someone to howl with him. That is, until he saw Kate walk in next to
khan-do. He walked up to Kate about to ask if she would howl with him before khan-do interrupted.
"First howl's mine." He growled
"Alright there's no reason to get angry." Decca replied, "I'll just wait until you too have fini—"
"And every howl after that." Kate suddenly interrupted.
"What?" Decca asked.
"And. Every. Howl. After. That. Do I have to spell it out for you? I'm not going to howl with you now or ever!" She snapped.
He started. "Kate, I-"
"No!" she interrupted. "I've had enough of you, just stay away from me! Come on khan-do, let's go!" and with that she walked off, khan-do following close behind.
*sigh* "C'ya later, Kate." He said sitting there hunched over.
"I'll howl with you Decca." A voice from behind said.
"No thanks I think I'll just turn in for the night." He replied, not even realizing that whoever it was knew his real name.
"What's this? I don't see you I eleven years and when I go and offer to howl with you just up and ignore
me? That not very nice, now is it." The voice remarked.
"Huh?" was his oh, so intelligent comeback. Slowly turning around to see whom it is he was talking to his mouth dropped open at the site.
"What's wrong Decca, flea got your tail?" she said. There standing only a few feet away was none other than-
