The Return of the Starnik
Chapter 21: A Twist to End the Perfect Day
After about fifteen seconds the lights slowly faded away along with Sarah. I looked back down at Rosie who had a massive grin on her face. She was about to speak when I silenced her with another kiss, she pushed back up returning it with just as much lust and passion as I. After a few seconds of the best moment of my life, it came to an abrupt stop by an attention seeking cough. I pulled back up from Rosie and we looked over at Dakota who was covering his sister's eyes with his paw. "As happy as I am for you two, that's still gross." He said as he removed his paw. I chuckled and stepped to the side allowing Rosie up. She walked over to her children and wrapped a paw around both of them.
"Thank you both for understanding." She whispered.
"We love you mom, and we just want you to be happy." Lupa said.
"And we're happy you're with Scott, we thought you two would make a good couple." Dakota said as the two pulled away.
"Really?" Rosie asked sounding surprised.
"Of course, as much as you and dad were a perfect match, we knew you and Scott were as well. We know your howls matched." Lupa replied. I stepped forward and spoke.
"You know I will never try to replace him, and I know you'll always love him." Dakota and Lupa both smiled and jogged over to me and embraced me in another hug.
"We know, that's why we think you're perfect for us. From now on you are our step dad, and we love you for that." Lupa whispered.
"I am happy to be your son." Dakota said.
"And I your daughter." Lupa added. I couldn't help but let out a small tear. I pulled to two tighter two me. I was a dad… Sort of. I felt another set of paws wrap around us all; I opened one eye to see Rosie adding herself to it making it a family hug.
"Thank you both, so much." I said as I released my grip, as they did also.
"You're welcome, now shall we head back to the party?" Lupa asked as she spun around.
"I almost forgot, let's go!" Rosie yelled happily. We all started running back to the clearing, Lupa and Dakota in front and Rosie by my side. I looked out the corner of my eye, she had a gigantic smile showing how happy she was, and so was I. "Do you want to turn back, just so everyone knows who you are." Rosie said as we neared the clearing.
"Are you sure?" I asked. I had just committed my life to being a wolf, and now my lycanthropy was reversed it would be the other way around, I found i no longer had to keep my focus on staying in this form, but know she wants me to turn back?
"I think it may be best." She said as we came skidding to a stop just before the bushes.
"Fine." I said grumpily.
"What's wrong?" She asked concerned as to my sudden mood change.
"Because I can't do this." And I pushed my muzzle against hers again, a giggle escaping her lips just before we kissed. It lasted a few seconds before she pulled away.
"Well when we get home we have all the time in the world." She said with a seductive smile.
"I can't wait." I said giving her one last kiss on the cheek. After that I pushed off the floor and turned human again and standing on two feet. I bent back down to her and gave her one last kiss on the forehead before stepping through the bushes back to the party.
The music was still on; no-one seemed to be hurt in anyway. But things seemed to be a little dull. Humans were mainly talking and laughing amongst humans and wolves with other wolves, of course they couldn't understand each other but they could have found out some way surely. I looked over towards one of the couches by the river to see Tony and Lexi alone trying to communicate using some sort of sign language, they were waving their arms in the air whilst mouthing words, it was rather funny, but it showed that they were trying unlike everyone else. Something needed to happen. Rosie and I stepped out into the clearing greeting people and wolves as we passed. It wasn't like wolves were on one side of the clearing and humans on the other; they were mixed in together, just not noticing the other.
I told Rosie to tell every one of the next plan which was to get everyone in the woods for a giant game of hunter and hunted, Humans first and wolves hunt then swap. Whilst she did that and everybody listened, I walked over to Tony and Lexi who were still to busy trying to communicate too busy to notice Rosie's announcement. "Hey guys." I said as I sat beside Tony.
"Hey buddy, where'd you go?" Tony asked.
"Just for a talk with Rosie, how are things here?" I asked back.
"Good I think." He replied. I looked around him at Lexi who was smiling.
"What about you?"
"Ok I think, we're doing something a little like charades, trying to guess what the others saying. It's rather funny." Lexi Replied.
"Well he thinks so to. The others are going into the woods for a game; want me to translate for you?" I asked. The two looked back just as every human started running into the woods and the wolves laughing ready to chase them down. Melissa, Lupa, Dakota, Glenn and Michael had already run inside to watch everyone.
"Sure thanks." Tony replied.
"Ready when you are." (Just to make it easier, I was be re-laying everything they were saying.)
"How old are you?" Tony asked first.
"Three and a half." Lexi replied.
"You're older then me." He chuckled.
"Got any family?" She asked.
"Mom and Dad, that's it, you?"
"I came from a separate pack from Yellowstone, mom and dad stayed behind with my little sister. I go to visit from time to time"
"That's one long hike."
"Tell me about it. Where are you from?"
"Kalispell, Montana. It's in America."
"Sounds far away."
"It's not too far, you should come visit some time."
"I don't know about that, I don't really like the city." Lexi said looking a little nervous.
"Hey, do you trust me?"
"Of course, I may not understand you, but I do, I know you're not going to hurt me." She said sounding a little more confident.
"Well why don't you come home with me tomorrow night, you can stay at my apartment for a week and I'll bring you back after that." He said.
"I'd love to, but first we'd have to figure out some way of talking."
"Well I can teach you some words and actions for you to recognise by him." I said to Lexi. "And some sort of body movements for you to understand her." I said to Tony. They both said that was great so we spent the next ten minutes teaching Lexi some commands and Tony some body actions so they could understand some of what each other were saying. I left them shortly after to practise and come up with their own before walking back out into the clearing, towards Rosie. Humans came running out the trees laughing and smiling obviously being caught by the wolves. People and Wolves were screaming and laughing inside the trees indicating they were having fun.
After a ten more minutes, we counted that every last human had been caught, Rosie howled for the Wolves to return which they did shortly after, all with happy smiles. When everyone had settled, the Wolves all ran into the woods to hide and two minutes later the humans were sent in leaving Rosie and I alone in the clearing again. I looked down at her as she did up at me. I knelt down and was about to kiss her again, but she placed a paw on my mouth and said.
"You may want to change first." I looked up and down my body to see I was still in human form.
"Oops sorry." I said before quickly turning to my now normal furry body. "Better?" I asked.
"Better." And with that she giggled and kissed me again. I was so happy right now, for so many reasons. We had started on the prophecy and things were going well, I met my old friends again, we saved another pack, but most importantly I won the girl of my dreams, literally. When I next opened my eyes, she was on her back again with her forepaws wrapped around my neck. "Two months ago this would have been really weird." She said with a smile.
"Totally, but now it's not, and that's all that matters." I said as I leant into kiss her again. We made out for a few more minutes when a feeling broke us apart. We both looked to our left to see Sarah and beside her the glowing, transparent black and white figure of Shadow. I stepped off Rosie and we both padded to the two spirits. Rosie walked to Shadow and nuzzled his neck fur, both of them smiled and Rosie letting a tear fall down her cheek. He pulled away and wiped her cheek, not saying a word. He gave her a kiss from where he wiped the tear from and glanced over at me. He walked past his mate and right up to me, he placed a paw on my shoulder and leant in and whispered so only I could hear.
"Thank you." Before pulling back. I gave a nod and a happy smile before leaning in and whispering back.
"I'm sorry, I never meant for that to happen."
"It wasn't your fault; it was my time to go. The gods had this planned and have already found a use for me. Don't tell her I said that, just say I'm happy." He replied.
"Well they can't be happy with Rosie for not dying."
"It's not them who are angry, it's the angel…" He was silenced when Sarah let out a low growl stopping him. It wasn't a threat, just a way of saying that, that was enough. He gave me one last pat on the shoulder before walking back to his mate, giving her one last long lick on the cheek before stepping back beside Sarah. "Goodbye my love." He said before the two vanished. We stood staring at the space where the two where standing, I padded up to Rosie's side and nuzzled her neck fur asking.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine; it was nice to see him again. What did he whisper to you?" She asked.
"Nothing concerning you." I said as I winked and turned around.
"Oh I know when you're lying." She said as she walked after me.
"I'm not." I chuckled.
"That's one thing you have to learn about being a wolf, we can tell when someone's lying. Your heart rate is quicker, your breathing is deeper, pupils dilated, and I can smell it on you." She said as she circled me running the tip of her tail under my chin, along my sides, twirling my tail and then back up to complete the circle.
"What else can you tell?" I asked taking a step closer. She giggled and leant in to kiss me when she smiled widely and said.
"Everyone's back." I whirled around to see the wolves and humans come running back though the clearing, everyone laughing and stumbling around having a good time. Humans were petting wolves as if they were harmless dogs and Wolves shoving humans playfully. I changed back, stood up and pointed everyone over to the refreshments saying that the entertainment would start soon.
Everyone seemed to be either parched or famished, grabbing anything they fancied from the table, people putting theirs on plates whilst the Wolves jumped up and grabbed something before walking away with it, most taking a piece of meat. Glenn, Michael, Melissa, Lupa and Dakota came running at the back making sure everyone arrived in one piece.
"Everything go ok?" I asked approaching them.
"Yeah, all good." Melissa said as she continued on passed us and whacked up the music volume again. Lupa and Dakota both padded up to us with the biggest smiles on their faces when they saw us. I couldn't believe how understanding they were and I couldn't thank them enough, we were now a family, and an odd one at that. All this turning was starting to annoy me, so I made a mental vow that I wasn't going to for a while after this last one. So I did and continued walkign otwards them
"You two been behaving?" Lupa said sounding cheeky.
"Of course we were." Rosie said as she walked towards her children. but she rubbed her side against my side and flicking me on the nose with her tail.
"That's going to take some getting used to." Dakota said making a puking face.
"Well now you know how I felt when I found out your mom had kids. She's not the pup I knew any longer, but a full grown, beautiful she-wolf." I said nuzzling her neck fur.
"You're too sweet." Rosie said kissing my cheek.
"Nothing's sweet enough for you love." I replied. I glanced back over to the kids to see them both making puking faces and faking to gag.
"Hey if you two have a problem with it why don't you start the entertainment or something?!" Rosie said.
"Anything to not see that." Lupa said as the two walked towards the river to start the entertainment.
"Miss Starnik, can I ask you out to dinner?" I asked trying to sound formal.
"Why yes you may Mr Starnik." She giggled back. I chuckled in return as we walked side by side towards the refreshment tables. As we did, gasps and "wows" were yelled from the crowd as they watched Lupa and Dakota do their thing, we couldn't tell what but we assumed they enjoyed it. We continued on and reached the table, both of us jumping up and staring at what was left of the meats. Rosie instantly went for the tray of pork, it was the closest thing there was to bacon, she pulled it down and let it fall but keeping all the steaks on. "Care to join me?" She asked.
"Well this is a dinner date I thought." I replied with a chuckle. With that we both started eating, I saw a nice big chunky slab but just as I went for it she slammed her paw over it and dragged it over out of my reach. "I get that part."
"Remind me not to get in the way between you and a pig then." I said with a chuckle.
"Too right." She said with a full mouth. We continued to eat until there was nothing left. I looked back up to her and saw she had a thin piece dangling from her mouth, she was unaware she had it there. I stepped around the tray and kissed her in the same spot it was. "Any reason?" She asked.
"Well because first you had this stuck in your teeth." I said pulling back and showing it to her. She smiled and took the other end and started working her way up. We did a Lady and the Tramp moment and kissed in the middle. "And the second because I can. Am I not allowed to kiss my new wife?" I asked.
"It's not that I don't mind, you can kiss me as much as you like and I won't stop you. Also we're not mates yet, we need to do something to signify we are." She said with a smile.
"Well what's that?" I asked intrigued. I wanted to know, I wanted to marry the girl of my dreams as soon as possible.
"Well it may be best if we do it at home, and when I come out of heat."
"Why not here, why not now?" I asked again.
"To show we're mates, we need to actually mate." She said. My eye's widened in shock. We had to do that?!
"Really?" I asked checking I heard right.
"Yes we do, that's not put you off me has it." She asked sounding a bit sad.
"No of course, I want to marry you Rosie and I can't wait for the night we do." I said as I nuzzled her flank.
"Thank you, but like I said, we need to wait until I'm no longer in heat. I don't fancy having pups just yet." She said as she took a step back.
"Me neither." I replied smiling.
"But I'd like to some day." She whispered.
"So would I." I whispered back and with a kiss. I pulled back just as a bright orange light and the sound of running water filled my ears. "That must be Mel and Michael."
"Dinner and a show." Rosie said as she walked passed me running her tail under my chin again. I chuckled and followed keeping close to her side, so close our hips were touching. We slithered and weaved our way through the crowd of Wolves and Humans and lay down at the front to see Michael and Melissa doing a demonstration, they must have been having a small fight or something, but neither intending to hurt anyone. Michael was standing on the river back with a ring of fire around him. In a quick flowing movement, he slammed his hand on the sand and then reached up to the sky, as he did a line of the fire shot up following his hand, but not touching. He then swung his arm around and out towards Mel causing the fire to throw itself at Mel who was standing 10ft feet away. Everyone was cheering and clapping at the awesome display. Mel was prepared and reached her arms out to the right towards the river, she pulled them back with a good amount of the river following like a slithering tendril. It completely detached itself from the river and stretched itself apart making a water sheet, the fire landing and being extinguished on impact. Mel released her water shield and let it fall and flow back into the river. Michael's ring of fire extinguished itself, leaving a scorch mark around him, the two then approached one another and shook each others hands exchanging words of congratulations and comments on their quick thinking.
They then started walking back towards the crowd but then Michael's eyes cast their gaze on me and Rosie. He took a step back and silenced the crowd. "Now ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for the main event. Please give a round of applause for Scott and Rosie, the Starnik!" He yelled. Everyone in the crowd started cheering, whooping and clapping for us. We both laughed and started walking out of the crowd. I regrettably turned as I stood up and walked over to Michael.
"That was pretty impressive what you two did." I said as I grabbed his hand and patted his back with the other.
"Thanks, they seemed to enjoy it." He replied as he sat at the front of the crowd. Rosie stood waiting for me as I walked up to her.
"Let's do our little thing." She said.
"Pretty simple." I added. I stood beside Rosie's left side and looked at the crowd. We did our normal thing, flash our eyes, increased the wind drastically and pick up small rocks and pebbles. Everyone started applauding and whooping once again, some taking pictures and records of the spectacle. But that wasn't enough for me. I waved for Michael, Melissa, Glenn, Lupa and Dakota to come over; they were in the front of the crowd so they saw us. I told them were to stand and what to do. Dakota stood beside me and Lupa by Rosie. Then Melissa next to Dakota followed by Michael, with Glenn on the other is beside Lupa. Mel used her hydrokinesis and used the river water behind us to form what looked like a giant wall of water behind us but stopped it from moving as well as her eyes going a slight rippling sea blue. Michael created a ring of fire around us with his eyes a hot orange; Lupa generated a domed shield over the fire keeping it from burning us and everyone else and flashed her eyes. Dakota flashed his and jumped but reappeared in the same place just to create a jump scar behind him, and finally Glenn linked all our minds with all those in the audience who had stunned faces.
"We are the protectors." We all said through Glenn's psychic link. Everyone, wolf and human gasped and started applauding again, amazed at the show. We all held our positions to let the moment last but after a few more seconds we all relaxed and let everything fall, extinguish and fade away; receiving more astounded gasps and whoops.
We walked back into the crowd with me turning back into my new body; I walked side by side with Rosie into the clearing and towards the couch on the other side with the giant dog bed beside it. Lupa had already made herself comfortable on it with Dakota by her side. She had taken to being in heat well, unlike Rosie who from what I heard became pregnant with the two during her first. Lupa was a fast learner and was able to control her mating urges, but she had to remember that because this was her first, it wouldn't be so bad but the next ones would be worst. I jumped up on the couch and lay on my side; Rosie then hopped up and curled around by my stomach both of us looking over the arm of the chair and down at the kids. "What are you two up to?" Rosie asked.
"Just talking." Lupa replied.
"That's good." She said back.
"What are you two doing?" Dakota asked trying reverse psychology.
"Just watching what you are doing, who's watching what we are doing." I answered getting a laugh from everyone. "This night couldn't any better. We brought two species together; I got the girl and her kids. Any way this could get better?" I asked looking over to Rosie.
"There is one way?" She said. I felt her tail started running itself up and down my side. I smiled and leant into her and asked her. We closed our eyes to savour this moment, we weren't going at it like we had already done, just locking lips and enjoying this feeling. When we opened them again we looked down to the kids covering their eyes.
"You done yet?" Lupa asked.
"Nearly." Rosie said as she quickly wrapped her paws around my neck whilst twisting herself to face me and kissing me with a lot more love. I gladly obliged and returned it with just as much, both of us moaning slightly just to gross the kids out. After a few wonderful seconds we pulled apart. "Now we are." She said as she getting her breath back. They removed their paws and looked up at us.
"Good, it's not that we find that disgusting, because we do. It's just that it's a little weird seeing our mom make out like that with someone else." Dakota said.
"Well get used to it son, it'll be happening a lot." I replied. I looked over to Lupa when something caught her attention; she looked to her left slightly and watched as if something was in front of her. We all followed her gaze but to only see the crowd, and nothing else.
"What's wrong?" Dakota asked. She didn't reply. It was like she wasn't there, like her mind was elsewhere. She wasn't blinking and she wasn't talking, to be perfectly honest it didn't look like she was breathing either. She was staring completely into space with the only sign of consciousness being her eyes open. Dakota continued to wave his paw over her face still trying to get an answer. Rosie and I were now getting concerned. We jumped off the couch and stood in front of her calling her name and waving too, but still nothing. Rosie placed her paws on her shoulders and was about to shake her when suddenly a brown paw removed them. It was Sarah who was showing just as much concern.
"Mom what's wrong with her?" Rosie asked now extremely worried.
"She is entering the spirit world." She said as she sat in front of her.
"Didn't you tell her not to do that?" I asked.
"I did, but something's pulling her in. She's looking inside a portal right now and it's trying to pull her in. I didn't tell her about this because I didn't want her trying to open one. She must have accidentally opened it." Sarah said looking into her grand-daughters eyes.
"She can do that?" Dakota asked.
"Well she has a part of me inside her which is giving her this gift. She can do all the things I can do with the dead, including opening portals. She's just looking into one now, but if she opens it, then anything could come through." She said. She placed one of her paws under Lupa's chin and then her forehead against hers whilst she started muttering something. Rosie was about to asked what when I stopped her. She continued to whisper beyond our hearing, the rest of the party not noticing what was happening. We watched as Sarah continued to utter words and after a few minutes she was done. She pulled her head back and quickly licked Lupa on the cheek. Lupa started fluttering her eyes and her head started spinning.
"What happened?" She asked.
"You nearly entered the spirit world. I should have told you, but I didn't want you meddling." Sarah said as she started placing a paw on her head.
"What are you doing?" Lupa asked.
"Just don't say anything." Sarah said as she removed her paw and placed it over her mouth. Her eye's widened as she placed it on one last place on her neck. Her eyes widened even more, way more then I think possible. "Sweetie I'm so sorry." She said as she placed her paw back down.
"What's wrong? Is she sick?" I asked.
"No she's not." Sarah replied.
"Then what is?" Rosie asked.
"She's half dead."
"She's WHAT?" Rosie yelled. But not loud enough to get any attention.
"Mom I've known for a little while now, it just didn't show through much." Lupa said protecting her mentor.
"What do you mean half dead?" Rosie asked. Lupa picked up her mothers paw and mine and placed it on her head, her temperature was much colder then normal body temperature. Then over her muzzle, as much as she looked like she was breathing, you could only just feel it tickle on the bottom of your paw, and wolves had a good sense of touch, but you could only just feel her breath. And finally on her neck over a large artery, her heart rate was going 5 beats per minute.
"Because she has some of me inside her and considering I'm dead, that makes her part dead, her core temperature is lower because a dead body can't create temperature, and her breathing and heart are lower because we don't breathe or beat. But because she's still alive her body functions are all just drastically lowered, not dead." Sarah said.
"Mom I knew I would be like this, she told me. I'm fine. I guess just looking into the portal triggered it" Lupa added. Rosie threw herself at her daughter and hugged her tightly.
"I'm ok if you are."
"I am mom." She replied as she pulled away.
"Ok, I'm going now, just don't do that again. Call me when you want to learn about it." Sarah said as she started to fade.
"I will, thank you." Lupa said as Sarah gave one last nod and left.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Dakota asked.
"I am." Lupa said as she placed a paw on his. Rosie and I jumped back on the couch to the side; she lay back down by my side and continued to watch everyone having fun. Humans and Wolves were dancing side by side, laughing with each other and just getting along. This was something that no-one in a million years thought would happen, a species known for hunting the other and one known for being vicious and wouldn't hesitate at killing the other. Who ever thought that was wrong, so wrong. We have proved that, not just Rosie and I, but everyone here has by interacting with one another.
From here we would start introducing the wolves into the nearby village to get them to feel comfortable with being out of the woods. We want them to feel safe with being out in the open and not in the comfort of the forest. Like we did here, we'd integrate them with the town and its people, explain what they can and can't do and monitor them for a few days. After that we'd move onto a new wolf pack and to the same until we have the country in the same way, we had the president by our side with this so he'd help. The future was looking good, for Rosie, Lupa, Dakota and I, and America's wolves and its citizens.
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked down at my wolfriend. "Would my wife to be like a dance?" I asked. Her eyes light up with excitement.
"Why yes, I would." She replied. I smiled and we both walked over to the centre of the clearing and started dancing the best we could on four paws, which was one thing I'd have to get used to. Lupa and Dakota followed and started dancing beside us, both laughing away and singing to the music. As this song came to an end, the next was one everyone would enjoy. It was Mr. Brightside by The Killers. Rosie and I knew it as well as some of the humans; the wolves never listened to any music so they just danced. We all started jumping around and singing to the lyrics. When the start of the chorus came which if you know the song Every wolf including me started singing it, finding the words easy to remember. Each time that chorus came, every wolf sung and even a few humans joined in just for a laugh at trying their best to howl and sing.
The party lasted on for hours, going into the late night. Everyone taking regular intervals to get their breath back or to get a drink, which included me and Rosie. Now the time was 12:30pm, many people had left and most wolves too, they needed to get back to the lake as it was a trip back which they were willing to take. Now there was only Michael, Melissa, Glenn, Rosie Lupa, and Dakota, me, Tony, Lexi, Dean, Skye and around 7 more who remained. We were all sitting around the couches by the river just talking; the music was on auto so it changed of its own accord. Rosie and I told the others about us and what happened. They all understood and were happy for us, Michael being the brother figure accepted it the best and said that "even tough I had a furry face, he'd still think of me as a brother" which was great to hear. The music stopped a few minutes ago.
Everyone now had left leaving the eleven of us alone. We were sitting in an awkward silence, everyone wanting to say something, but we'd already said it and were out of ideas. I looked around for something to do when the music deck caught my eye. I jumped off the couch gaining everyone's attention; I continued to walk out into the centre of the clearing and turned to look back at them. I held a paw out and looked directly at Rosie who smiled and came walking towards me. She stood inches from me and asked.
"What is it?" I didn't answer but instead I walked over to the decks and jumped up, and after quickly figuring out how it works, changed it to another song which thankfully picked one perfect for this moment. It was Music of the Night, by Phantom of the Opera. "What are you doing?" She asked again as the music slowly started playing.
"Will you dance with me?" I asked as I held my paw out again.
"I can't slow dance." She said talking a step back. I smiled and said.
"Neither can I. But I'm going to do the same thing you taught me how to howl."
"Which is?" She asked again.
"Do it from right here." I said placing a paw over her heart. "When you do it from here, you can never go wrong."
"I taught you that?" She asked sounding surprised she'd say something like that.
"You did. I love you Rosie, let it flow from your heart and dance with me." I said. She gave a quick nod and a loving smile whilst taking that step closer, just then the singing started. We mirrored each others movements throughout the dance.
We started slowly circling each other looking in the others eyes. We did two full circles before going the other way, and then I lifted my paw and placed it and inch from her cheek and moved it down her face as she did to me, still without touching. Then we bent our front half down leaving our rears in the air before jumping up on our hind legs and using each others forepaws to stop us falling again. We leaned our heads forward towards the others right ear and took in each others scent, her scent was so amazing, just like in the dream I had of her that made me just want to love her. I looked out the corner of my eye to see Dakota and Lupa joining but keeping a distance from us, they copied the dance as we did, but not as passionate as they brother and sister, that would be a little weird, they were just doing it to show their love to one another as a family. I also saw out my left eye on the other side of us Melissa and Michael, Skye and Dean and Lexi and Tony dancing as well, all doing the same. Doing this from the heart wasn't just something wolves can do; this was something that if everyone is connected to emotionally, all their movements and voices are the same. We were all emotionally linked as we danced with the same movements at the same time, none of this planned out before paw. I quickly linked with Glenn's mind to ask why we weren't and he said he wasn't much of a dancer, which was fair enough.
I snapped back out of the metal chat and back to the dance. The guys lifted our left paw or hand and placed the back of it the cheek of the girl. Then softly pulled our paw down our partners face and then the girls did the same, Rosie's touch was incredible, her touch, her taste, her scent, was enough for me alone. Then we slowly lowered ourselves back to the ground on four paws, that's when the music started to getting a little louder and more "into it" as it were. Our movements started to flow a little more quickly as we placed the side of our necks together and started circling on the spot, the humans holding each other like dancers do and Tony and Lexi just with her paws on his shoulders and his hands on her sides.
Everyone but Rosie and I were doing this out of friendship, just trying to enjoy the night; Rosie and I were doing this out of love. We spun multiple times just enjoying the feeling of the other. Just as the song came to an end, we all bowed to our partner.
This night couldn't have gone any better.
Nobodies P.O.V
The Starnik, their children and partners have secured the start of a promising future. They would continue to do what they have done here by slowly introducing Wolves to Humans around the country taking small steps at a time. Now the Starnik were truly one, they were the strongest they could be, their powers at their peak as well as their children. They had partners who were honourable Starnik members as well as the humans, Tony, Dean and Skye who this night joined their ranks to assists wherever they could. Tony and Lexi are the best of friends and where the first to learn the language of Wolf Speak, they were to teach others of art and with the help of the Starnik, create classes to teach others.
The Starnik were happy, but hundreds of miles away, a man sat in his completely destroyed office feeling the exact opposite. His computer throw out the window, paper work scattered and pictures smashed. He sat in his chair his head on the table, arms covering his head. He had disgraced his father, his staff and the world. He lost everything and had no way of getting it back. This of course is Sam, the leader of the Ditori. He had lost his weapons, his funds and most importantly his reputation. In the eyes of his colleagues he has failed them in the destruction of Wolf kind. He lifted his head and looked at the smashed picture of his father. He took it in hand and spoke. "I promise you father. The Starnik will pay, I will make them watch as we kill every last one of their retched kind. We will come back stronger, and for blood. I will coat the worlds surface with the blood of Wolves and when their gone then the Starnik. Scott has been the little shit since school; I should have killed him there and then when I had the chance. I swear on your grave father, he will pay, with his life, and his friends."
Oh another cliff hanger, and right at the end. That's it people! The end of Return of the Starnik! The second on the four stories completed. I want to tank you all for staying with me on this adventure and for your kind reviews. Kepp an eye out for the authors review which will be up later as it has a few questions and notices. Until then. :)
