A/N: I'm sorry that the last updates have been slow. I'm kind of in a crappy mood. I've bin up since 12:00am even later writing these stories. I am really tired . Anyway Let's start the story.

Chapter 10: The start of something special

Eric

I was watching a White wolf and brown wolf play around with each other. Rolling in the snow and playfully nipping at each other. The white one tackled the brown one down a snowy hill and they were laughing all the way down.

The brown one landed on top of the white one. They stared at each other.

"I love you Eric."

"I love you too Aleu."

They lowered their heads and their lips connected for a long kiss.

I was taken out of my dream when I felt something cold and wet touch the side of my head. I pushed it away with my paw. I felt it touch me again and I took my paw and felt along it.

"Whoops. Sorry Aleu." I got up in a flash and looked at her. She smiled.

"I thought you did that on purpose."

"No. I thought it was something else."

I turned back to my human form and walked over to my laptop. I clicked it on and a bunch of new messages and info appeared on it.

"Hmm, that's strange." I clicked on the new message.

"What is?" Aleu asked as she walked over to me. I made some room on the chair and she jumped up next to me looking at the screen.

"It's a voice message." I said as it loaded. Aleu was looking at the picture of me and my family.

"Who are those people?" She asked looking at me.

"That is my family."

"So you are married."

"No. I never married because that would be a weakness in the war. They could capture those loved one's and use them against me to give them information and plus no one ever asked."

"Then who are they?"

I pointed to each person. "That's my dad, my mom, my sister and her husband, that's my older brother and this is me."

"Wow. I'm glad that you still have them. They must be very proud of you."

I looked down as a tear rolled down my eye. Every time I see those images through my head of everyone dieing makes me feel like it was my fault. If I could have only killed that hunter behind mom she would still be alive and so would dad.

"Whats wrong Eric, did I say something wrong?"

"No Aleu it's just that, my families dead."

"Oh I'm sorry. Well don't you have a uncle, aunt or a cousin at least?"

I shook my head. "Aleu. You are looking at the last person of my entire family. Everyone that was related to me is dead. I am the last of my bloodline. I'm all alone."

"I'm...so sorry Eric. I didn't know." She said looking down.

I put my arm around her. "At least I have one thing that nobody probably will ever have."

"What is that?" She looked up at me.

"A female wolf who is very nice and is very pretty. A wolf who probably is the only wolf that is friends with a human/wolf. A wolf who is brown with a white underbelly. You Aleu." I smiled.

She giggled slightly. "Thanks Eric." She licked my cheek and then the message played.

"Eric if you get this message I need help. It's Ariana. I have crash landed about five miles north of where I last saw your signal. Please, hurry I don't know how long I can keep the ships reactors stable." The message stopped playing.

"Oh shit. We are in trouble." I ran out of the cave and ran towards Winston's cave. Aleu was right behind me.

"Winston wake up, Winston." I said yelling as I ran towards his cave. I woke up the entire pack as I yelled his name.

"What is it Eric? What's wrong?" He asked as I ran in.

"I need you to gather the pack and show me where me and Aleu were found unconscious."

"Why?"

"Well lets just say if we don't get to my ship and repair the reactor. Jasper park will be destroyed in a huge explosion or even the entire continent." His eye's went wide and his jaw dangled open like it was on a string. He nodded and howled to the pack.

To the others this howl was a code red. They all ran into the cave and looked at us. "What's wrong Winston?" Kate asked.

"Don't ask me, ask Eric."They all looked at me.

"Okay listen to me and don't fuck around because if you do, you can consider yourself toast."

"Why?" Humphrey asked. He looked better. He can run and walk already.

"You guy's now the U.N.S.C Wolverine. The ship that I was on." They nodded. "Well, I guess the reactor is damaged. If it isn't repaired soon." I stopped and looked at them.

"What? What will happen Eric?" Garth looked at me worried.

"Bye bye Jasper park and maybe the entire continent." They all looked shocked.

"I need you guy's to show me where you found me and Aleu."

"I'll show you. I remember exactly where I found you." Kate said.

"Good, now let's hurry before we are all killed in an explosion." I said and we all ran full sprint. In about ten minutes we arrived at the spot where she said she found us.

I pulled out my compass and looked at it. "Okay, we have to run five miles north." I pointed toward north. "Let's go." We continued to run and in about thirty minutes we arrived at the spot where Ariana told me she was.

"Ariana can you hear me!"

"Yes I can. Hurry You only have five minutes to repair the reactor!"

I ran inside and grabbed all the things I needed. I ran to the reactor room and ran to the reactors fuel cells. I pulled the cells out and put a new pair in and ran to the panel to start the fusion cycle again.

"Listen Eric, unless you can't start the fusion cycle again, we'll be screwed. You need to reset the reactor and then shut off the main power to get the reactor to start making new cycles. You only have one minute. Hurry!"

I started typing in the codes to reset the reactor and hoped to god this will work. The reactor started to make a lot of noise and I typed as fast as possible.

"Reactor reset! You'll have to turn the power off! Hurry, only thirty seconds left!"

I ran to the main power room and located the power switch and tried to budge it.

"It's stuck!"

"Well get it unstuck because you only have seven seconds before it's to late!"

I pulled as hard as I could."Three seconds!"

"Fuck it." I body slammed the switch and it turned the entire ship off.

"Ouch!" That hurt like hell. felt like running into a car. I got up and turned the power on again and it was easier to turn on then off.

"Next time Ariana, please oil these damn switches."

"Good work. I'll be able to repair the rest of the reactor. It should only take me four hours to get it to work again."

"Okay, land as close as you can to me when you are done repairing."

"I will."

I walked out to see the pack looking anxiously at me. "I got it repaired, no need to worry."

"Good." Winston let out a sigh of relief.

We started to walk home and we talked a little on the way. "Eric, we are going hunting again today. Will you join us." Winston asked.

"Sure, as long as it doesn't include a switch." I said with a laugh. That reactor emergency was as close as I ever wanted it to be.

"Good, we need your skill set to help us get some more caribou for the pack." He said.

I looked at Lilly and she seemed to look a little sick.

"Hey Lilly are you okay, you seem a little sick?" I asked her.

"I'm fine." She said tiredly.

"Are you okay sweety?" Eve asked.

"I'm just really tired and I feel like I am going to throw up too." She looked at Eve and then at Garth.

"Lilly, when we get back come to our den. I'll do a check up on you, see if everything is normal. Okay."

"Okay." She started to slow down slightly and over time she got slower and slower.

"Are you okay Lilly?" Garth asked

She nodded weakly.

I walked over to her and put my hand on her head. No fever or sickness.

"I can say that you aren't sick, but you are getting weaker from something. Hold still Lilly. I wont hurt you just relax." She nodded and I put my arm's around her and picked her up.

" What are you doing Eric?" Garth said.

" I'm carrying her so she doesn't wear herself out. She could get hurt if she collapsed on something." I said walking with Lilly curled up in my arms. "She is asleep, so be quiet." I whispered.

We continued to walk and eventually made it back. I walked into our den and placed Lilly on the ground gently.

I walked over to the USC and pulled out a ultrasound machine and hooked it up to the computer. "What is that?" Garth asked. The pack was by the entrance.

"It's an ultrasound. It shoots high frequency sounds into your body and gives me a 3D video of what is inside you."

"That doesn't sound very safe." He said.

"Actually it is a lot better and safer then any other methods. It's completely harmless. X-rays on the other hand are a lot more dangerous. They use radiation and show pictures of your bones. It is also dangerous to pregnant women because the radiation could kill the child or mutate something."

"It better be safe because if you hurt my daughter I will rip out..."

"Shut it Eve. I heard of you so called threats and they don't phase me. I don't care if you even kill me, but the likeliness of you succeeding is so slim that we both know who would win."

They looked at me as if I were crazy.

"You just told the scariest person in the pack to shut up." Garth said.

She stared at me.

"Go ahead Eve. I don't really care anyway. I mean I am the only one here who can figure out what is wrong with your daughter." I grabbed the picture of my parent's, sister and brother. "At least you have a family."

"What do you mean?" Lilly asked tiredly.

"I already told Aleu, but I'll tell you. I have no family. No parents, siblings, mates, or any other type of family member. I am all that is left of my bloodline. They all died in this unforgivable war." I said looking down at the picture.

"I am sorry to hear that Eric." Most of them said.

I shook my head and looked at Eve.

"Eve listen to me. I can understand why you would threaten me for your daughter's life. I understand that you care deeply for them and don't wish to lose loved ones, but you have to also consider how other people might react towards a threat. There are people out their that will kill them because you threatened them. They do it just to make you attack them. I know how hard it is to lose loved one's, especially since I had to watch most of them die."I looked back down at the picture.

"It is also my fault to that my mom and dad are dead. If I only could have shot that Hunter in the head instead of his thick armor they would still be alive." I said in a sad voice. I put the picture back on the desk.

I grabbed the ultrasound and finished plugging it into my laptop. I took the transducer and put it over Lilly's body. "Ah-ha. I see the problem."

"What is it? Is it serious Eric." Garth asked worriedly.

"Yes, it is serious for the both of you." They looked at me worriedly.

"What's wrong with her then. Come on spit it out Eric."

I smiled. "Congratulations Garth, you are a father and Lilly is mother." Eve nearly fainted. Winston caught her.

"How do you know?" Winston asked intrigued. I pulled the laptop down to their view and pointed towards the developing pups.

"This is the inside of Lilly's womb and these are her pups. It may seem strange to check if she is pregnant like this, but trust me. You would have wanted me to do it this way instead of the original way, if you wanted to see if she was pregnant."

"What was the original way." Lilly asked.

"Umm, putting on a glove and sticking my hand or finger in there."

"Ewww." Most of them said.

"Hey it works though." I said with a laugh. "Okay, Lilly just stay here for now until you give birth. That way I will be he here to help you through that stage with some medicine that will take most of the pain away. Trust me you'll want it."

She nodded. "Okay. I'll feel safer here with you guy's protecting me anyway."

"Hey! I would protect you with my life."Garth said a little hurt.

"I'm sorry Garth. I mean them as in you, Eric, and Aleu." She nuzzled Garth and he nuzzled her back.

"No, not just them. Me and Humphrey will help too." Kate said. We all smiled.

"Alright! That means safety in numbers. So now that this is settled we can go hunt." I said getting up. "Garth, Kate, Humphrey, Aleu and I will take care of you Lilly until you give birth. I will help out in any way possible,but be warned guys. Pregnant girls have a lot of mood swings so she could turn into Eve in seconds or be your humorous omega." They nodded.

"Okay hunter's. Meet me in the valley when you are ready." Winston said.

I walked with Aleu to the valley.

"You know, what you said to Eve really surprise me." Aleu said on the way there.

"I noticed, because everyone else looked surprised."

"Well I knew you wouldn't stand for it, but going on about it."

"I know. Come on Aleu, they are waiting for us." As I sprinted ahead "Last one there is a rotten egg." I yelled an she ran after me.

We ran for about five minutes until we were neck and neck and almost there.

"Ha ha, come on Aleu. I am barely even try... Whoa!" I tripped.

"Ha ha ha. Maybe you should pay attention."

As I tripped I did a couple of front flips and landed on my feet and started running full out. I caught up with her in no time.

"Bye!" I said as I ran past her.

"No... fair." She started running as fast as she could. I saw Winston and headed straight for him. I tried to stop but Aleu ran right into me. We tumbled right past the hunters and she landed on top of me. We stared at each others blue eyes.

"Ahem. You two done playing around yet." Winston said as he walked up to us. Aleu got off me and I stood up.

"Okay, we're here. Sorry."

"We noticed by your crash entrance." Winston said as he led us to the caribou. "The scouts said there were six. So we need to kill all of them. Any idea's?"

"I have one." I said right away.

"Good, let's hear it."

"Okay. We'll split the group in half. I will use my stealth ability and take two of them out while you guys take out the other four. I will help you if you need it." He nodded.

"Sounds like a solid plan."

They split into groups and we started to where they were seen. We then went our ways as we started nearing the location. I saw them. I went prone and crawled as close as I could without startling them. I sat there waiting a couple of minutes and then I heard a yip and the hunters got the four on the sides. The other two ran right towards me and I jumped out right in between them and stabbed them right in there hearts and they fell down.

"Great job hunters. This will help the pack greatly. Come on lets drag them back." Winston said.

I grabbed the two I killed and dragged them back myself.

"Need any help?" Aleu asked from a distance.

"Nope. I got them." I continued to drag them back to the pack valley where they ate mostly.

I left one and dragged the other one with Garth, Kate, Humphrey, and Aleu back to Lilly at our den. It was a little harder because we were going up a hill. We eventually made it back to the den and Lilly was waiting for Garth. When she saw him she got up and nuzzled him and he nuzzled her.

"Phew, that hill kicked my butt." I said laughing.

"You guy's didn't need to drag the whole thing up here just for me."

"No, its okay. I could have carried it if I didn't have to drag two back."

"Well you never let me help you Eric." Aleu said looking at me.

"Well I can handle myself." I turned back into a wolf and we started eating.

"So Eric, how are you so strong?" Kate asked.

I shrugged. "Years of training and fighting I guess."

"Wow how old are you?" Garth now asked.

"I am about twenty-five."

"Hmm, how long have you been fighting in this war against the Covenant?" Humphrey now asked. God, they are trying to really figure me out aren't they.

"I have been training since I was eight. I started to fight in the war when I was fifteen."

"Wow, you have been fighting for most of your life and yet you still are the nicest person I know." Aleu said.

"That's because when your people are being killed off you want to help them, and not be some kind of a rebel dickhead. I was always taught to be kind and caring towards the innocent and be as brutal as you can be towards your enemy."

"I have a quick question for you. What do humans do for us and the entire planet if they are polluting it and what do they get for killing us?" Lilly had to really pick a hard subject for me to discuss.

"Okay. I'll tell you the bad one first. Humans kill you guys for money."

"What is money?" Aleu asked.

"Money is something we use to get certain items. Like you would trade land for food or the safety of captured loved ones. It is made out of paper, silver, or gold. Gold is very valuable. So if a country has plenty of it, they are rich. It also kills people to obtain money. We kill each other for money when we don't enough of it or in a debt. It's like a plaque that never ends. I think money isn't worth more then another ones life."

"So basically you kill us for money so you can get items for your family?" Lilly asked.

I shook my head. "Sometimes its just off of pure greed. We kill you sometimes just so we can experience the thrill and pure sport of it. I think it isn't right in any way. Now you wanted to know what we do for you?" She nodded.

"Okay. In short absolutely nothing. There are some things we do for you that could effect our lives too, but basically nothing. The one thing I can think of is asteroids and threats to the planet.

"How do you help us with that?" Kate asked.

"Well you know how I said that is a threat towards us." They nodded.

"Well basically if an asteroid is on a collision coarse with Earth we would try to destroy it."

"Why?"

"If a asteroid or object collides with us. We would more then likely all die. It would hit us so hard that the entire planet could be destroyed. It would be all hell on this planet and we would be killing each other to survive. It would be as hot as two hundred degree's or as cold as negative fifty to negative one hundred and fifty. It will kill everything and in a way, the planet resets. In hundred's of year's new life will emerge and take place of the old. Maybe even more intelligent life then us."

"Wow, you sure know a lot." Garth said.

"Ha, more like not enough. Humans only use fifteen percent of their brain. Now imagine if we could use more. We could be the ruler's of this entire universe."

"Wow, again. You humans are more like saviors and intelligent even though you murder us."

"I wish that were true. In all actuality, right know we are more like monsters. We have more at stake then just ourselves."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, with this war going on, there is a lot more at stake then just us. The Covenants true goal is to ignite the ring's or Halo."

"What is Halo or the ring's?"

"Look, as much as I love to talk with you guys this will be the last thing I can answer. I have told you way too much about me and this blasted war."

"Okay, we understand." Aleu said.

"Okay, Halo. They are ring's built by the Forerunners. The Forerunners were the most advanced civilization before humans and the covenant managed to figure out how to build a toilet. They built these rings to kill all the sentient life in the galaxy because of the flood. The flood is something that you do not ever want to encounter."

I stood up and walked towards the cave and looked up.

"The flood is a very sick creature. They jump on you and eat through you until they are inside your body. They make you snap your own neck and it isn't very pleasant. They take control of your body and you'll be dead, but they use your dead body and turn you against your own."

"That's horrible." They all said. I nodded

"Anyway, the Forerunners took enough of each species so when the rings fired they could reproduce and build up again once everything was killed. Unfortunately the Forerunners killed themselves and were wiped out. The machines that had been left behind distributed all the humans and sentient life back to the appropriate planets to start again."

"I know you didn't want to hear another question, but if the Forerunners killed everything, how did the flood survive."

"That is what made me wonder. The rings are supposed to kill all the life in our galaxy, so how did they survive." I shook my head. "Okay, that's enough for now. I don't like talking about the past, so please stop asking me. It brings back so many bad memories ."

"Sure, Eric. We'll stop asking you these questions." Aleu said walking next to me.

"Sorry, we didn't know it was this hard for you." Kate, Lilly, Garth and Humphrey said in unison.

"It's okay. I just really don't want to talk about this anymore." I laid down and closed my eyes. I felt Aleu lay next to me trying to comfort me. I started to fall asleep.

Eric's Dream

'Where the hell am I.' I thought. It was dark and I could tell it was storming because I felt rain. Then I heard a loud crack of thunder. The light flashed and I started to adjust to the dark. I started to see blood and I followed it until I froze at what I saw. Everybody that I ever knew was laying down in front of me dead.

My family and friends. The wolves I had all met. I saw some movement to my left and saw Aleu bleeding to death.

"Aleu!" I ran over to her and fell on my knees. She had been cut by a knife or sword of some kind.

"Eric...is that y-you." She said in a weak voice.

"What happened here?"

"I-I don't know...all I remember i-is seeing you...kill the pack. You changed after you disappeared...for three day's."

"Me! Why would I do such a thing? I'm not crazy or a blood thirsty murder."

"I-I don't know, but it's to late...for m-m-me." Her voice was fading.

"Hold on okay."

"I c-can't. I'm going to d-die before you...can save me."

"Don't say that. Just don't give up."

"I'm s-s-sorry Eric... I just wanted...t-to tell you that I love you..." She was dieing.

"I love you too Aleu, but you have to survive. Your the only one I have left." I started to cry.

"I-I-I'm sorry..." She stopped breathing and I hugged her crying.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Look's like poor Eric lost his poor little wolf lover." A deep voice said from behind me. I recognized that voice.

"General Organza!" I turned to face him.

"I see you still remember me."

"You'll pay for this. I will kill you this time. You have gone to far." I pulled out my knife and I ran at him. He was quick and stabbed me in the back. I didn't care and I spun around with the sword still in me and stabbed him right in his head. I pulled it out and stabbed him until I finally fell to the ground.

"Well, looks like we all...d-died from a p-pointless war" I said dieing.

He suddenly appeared in front of me. "Bye"

Reality

"Ahh." I jumped up to my feet to notice it was only a dream. I looked around and noticed Kate, Lilly, Garth, Humphrey, and Aleu were all missing. I looked in the snow and saw their footprints. They must have gone for a late night walk.

I followed the trail until I saw human footprints.

"Oh no, not that." I ran until I came up on a camp. Poachers. I saw two birds flying right at me. That's is very odd. I waited until they got closer.

"Hey you, the white wolf." I heard them say.

"Who are you guys?" I asked.

"I am Marcel and this is Paddy. Listen Kate, Lilly, Garth, Humphrey and another wolf got captured by the poacher's."

"I just noticed. Alert the pack and tell them to come this way, okay." They nodded and flew off.

"By the way, what is your name?" They asked flying over me.

"Eric, now go before it's to late."

They flew off. "Gotta do everything myself." I mumbled.

I sneaked my way down to the camp and saw a guard standing by the entrance. I got up behind him. I wonder if I can talk to humans.

I crawled a little bit more forward. "Oi, Suzy." I whispered.

"Huh." He turned around and bit into his neck. Never get's old.

I sneaked into the camp and avoided being in bright area's. I saw three more guards sitting in front of the campfire with their backs turned. I saw a cage where Aleu and the others were being held captive. I sneaked over to where they were and I silently opened the cage. They heard me and looked at me.

"Eric! What are you doing here? Your going to get killed!" Aleu said.

"Saving your butts. Come on lets go." They followed me closely and we sneaked towards the tent and then we ran into a guard dog and a guard. He pointed his gun and I jumped at him and bit his shoulder and he fired, missing of coarse and Garth killed the guard dog quickly. Humphrey jumped on the man I was still biting and finished him with a bite on the neck.

Kate looked surprised that Humphrey did that. "Wow Humphrey, I didn't know you could kill so well."

"Well of coarse. I'm protecting you." He said with a smile.

"Um, guys. We need to get out of here before they kill us." Lilly said.

We nodded and ran out of the camp. We saw the pack and ran towards them. We were being shot at and I wished I could be shooting back.

"Come on hurry!" Winston yelled. We managed to catch up to them and we ran back towards our dens.

Suddenly a poacher jumped out of the tree's aiming his gun at us. "Gotcha" Time slowed down as he squeezed the trigger. I noticed who it was aimed at and tackled her out of the way. I felt the bullet rip through my hind legs and I fell to the ground.

"Ha, got the white one." Aleu got up after I tackled her out of the way and growled at the man. " I didn't think this through very well. Shit!" The entire pack lunged at him and all I heard was his bloody screams of him being torn apart. Then it was silent.

"Eric!" Aleu ran over to me as I was bleeding.

"Aleu, l-listen if I don't...make it." I tried to tell her. I haven't been shot in a while and this hurt like hell.

"You'll make it." She said.

"Listen, I-I j-just wanted you to know..." I was starting to fall unconscious.

"Know what?" She said with a tears in her eyes.

"T-T-That I love you..." I fell unconscious. I felt nothing, heard nothing, and saw nothing. I wondered if I was actually dead this time.

A/N: Man what a chapter. This one was a hard one to write. Please review.:) Oh and by the way I am not done so don't think this is the end. There will be a lot more in the future. Trust me.
