Well here we go another new chapter for all my lovely readers out there. I hope you enjoy!
Steele woke with a start at the sound of a light cry from his newborns. Nina was awake and licking the small white pup. It whimpered and cried as she ran her tongue over the pups soft white fur. Steele watched her as she continued the routine with the other two pups. When she was finished she smiled up at him before looking back down at the pups. Who were now happily filling themselves full of there mothers healthy colostrum and milk. "I still can't believe the are finally here. Just look at them there so perfect Nina" Steele nuzzled the male with his nose. The pup whimpered and wiggled away from his touch before crawling over his sister stealing her spot. The white pup let out a light growl before it started to sniff for a new teat to feed from. She bumped into her fathers nose and unlike her brother who didn't like the touch. She explored it sniffing at him before she let out a soft puppy bark. Steele and Nina chuckled at her as she crawled back to her mothers warmth finding a new spot to feed. "That one is going to be a handful when she gets older" Nina chuckled as she watched her pups. "Very true Nina she will defiantly be a handful. They all will thats for sure" Steele nuzzled his mate before he stood up and stretch. He looked out at the entrance and noticed the sun had not risen yet. Why are they up so early don't you think they would sleep longer. "Well Steele they are new and don't have a routine yet, so constant waking up at odd hours for the first month will be something we both will have to get used to." He yawned before looking at her with a smile. "Yeah your right but it doesn't mean I have to like it" He chuckled before walking to the entrance of the den. "Would you like something to eat? Me and Revolver managed to bring down a deer a few days ago just in case you had the pups. Would you like some?" Nina smiled at him and nodded her head. "Can you bring me a leg with lots of meat on it? I feel like i haven't ate in weeks." "Anything for you"
He turned and walked out and into still dark night. The cold breeze blew through his fur as he scanned the area below him. He noticed a figure low to the ground and moving quickly towards the dens. He snarled and made his way down to it before it had a chance to get to the first den. Steele lunged from a rock onto the figure snarling before pinning it to the ground. The bright glowing eyes of a wolf he thought he would never see again looked up at him in terror. "Sparrow? What are you doing here" He got off of her and stepped to the side. "I wanted to come and see Nina did she have her pups yet?" "Yes she did yesterday evening after we ran into...Your new pack" He sadly said before glancing up at her. She layed her ears down and sighed before she nuzzled him. "Steele its the only way we can keep the peace between them and you, and with new pups you guys are really vulnerable. I promise i won't tell them of the new pups please just let me see them and Nina" "Ok but make it quick I will wait here until you go." Sparrow wasted no time she ran into the den and was only gone for a few minutes until she emerged and was back next to Steele. "Thanks you Steele. Your pups are beautiful and I will keep to my word and stay away for there safety." "I wish you luck Sparrow and be safe" She nodded before bolting back to Arrows territory before she was missed. Steele watched her go before he went made his way down the mound and, into the trees to find the deer carcass. As he walked he kept his eyes trained to the area around him he was cautious and for good reason. He didn't trust Arrows pack the way they acted told him they were not a family unit like his. They were more like a group that was just with each other for power and there own greed. He made a mental note to keep them as far away from his family as he could even if that meant having to move the pack again.
He sniffed the ground and located were the deer should have been but the ground was barren. The drag marks heading towards the river was a good give away on who had stolen the kill. He snarled and followed the trail until he came to the rivers edge were the scent was washed away by the current. He glared into the bushes on the other side before he barred his teeth showing his fangs. A figure emerged and walked out of the shadows. With an evil glint in his eyes he smiled. "Well hello there Steele what are you doing out here, and all alone to would be a shame if something were to happen to you mate while you was away" Arrow sneered as he placed a paw into the water. Steele snarled at him raising his fur before he took a step forward. "Oh and congratulations on the new pups. Sadly they won't see the light of day" He snarled before charging into the water at Steele. Steele snarled and made a fake lunge at him before dodging Arrow and bolting to the dens. He was no coward but Nina needed him something in his bones was telling him to get to her and fast. He jumped over logs and weaved through the trees he could here Arrows menacing laugh behind him as he ran. Steele burst out of the trees and could see Arrows pack was at his den snarling and fighting. Mist and Revolver were keeping them out of his den but he couldn't see Dusty any were. He ran up to the nearest wolf and sunk his fangs into her back throwing her into the rocks. She yelped in pain and he could hear the sound of her ribs crack under the force. The male turned to him hate in his eyes and snarled. Revolver took the chance and latched onto his throat as Mist began to tear at his face. The three rolled down towards Steele who jumped over the fighting mass and entered the den. Dusty was in the corner she layed still her head had a small wound on it and blood ran lightly down her face. Steele immediately curved and latched onto a male who had Nina in the opposite corner. She had the pups hidden behind her as she fought for there lives. Steele and yanked the male away from her and viciously went fro his throat tearing into it. The wolf gasped and fell to the ground coughing and gagging on his own blood. Steele turned to Nina she was sniffing there pups with tears in her eyes. Her body shook violently from shock as she caved to the ground and curled around the tiny body's.
Steele rushed to her side "Nina it's ok I'm here I won't-" He froze when he only counted two pups. The white pup was no were to be seen. Panic soon followed as he frantically searched the den for her. "Steele! The pup they took her!" Nina sobbed as the tears fell from her eyes. "They took our baby!" She curled tighter into the other two pups as she cried. Steele snarled and bolted from the den fire in his eyes. He glanced around and noticed a smaller female was running to Arrow with something in her jaws. Steele bolted down to her and cut her off before she got to him. He tackled her to the ground making her drop the pup onto the cold snow. It yelp as it tumbled away. Steele jumped to it picking the pup up as quickly and car fully as he could before he tried to run back to the safety of the den. He felt teeth tear into his shoulder as claws racked his back. He winced in pain and noticed Mist running to him. With all his strength he chucked the pup into the air. Mist quickly grabbed her out of the air and turned back to the den with the pup safely in her jaws. Steele turned and latched his fangs into his attacker. The female had gotten up and attacked him. She had a good grip until Steele's jaws began to crush her leg and she yelped in pain loosing her grip. He took advantage of it and let her leg go grabbing her throat in his jaws. Her face was filled with terror and she squirmed under his grip. He glared at Arrow who was now only a few feet away from them. Steele snarled and bit down harder making her yelp in pain. "A-Alpha help me!" All Arrow did was grin evilly "Why should I help you your just a pawn like everyone else in your pack." Tears began to run down her face. "You used us! This is all your fault! Your crazy!" She gasped as his grin turned to an evil scowl. "I'm not the crazy one you are! You stupid female! You were a good fuck but are as useless as any female!" He snarled. Steele let her go and glared at her showing his fangs. "If your smart you will leave! Now!" He snarled ash she bolted away into the trees.
Steele and Arrow sized each other up before Arrow lunged at Steele. Steele tried to dodge his attack but was only able to get so far away. Arrow latched onto his shoulder and ran his claws over Steele's face. Steele snarled in pain and sunk his teeth into Arrows back. The two males battled for a few minutes until both were bloody and weak. Steele panted as blood ran from his nose and face. Arrow snarled at him before grinning. "When I finish with you I'm going to kill everyone left alive. My mother, sister, her worthless mate, and your pups! As for Nina I will kill her slowly." He cackled as he lunged at him again. Steele saw red at the thought of him killing those he cared about most. He felt his body fill with anger as he charged Arrow. His inner demon came out to play as he latched onto Arrows face. Crushing his muzzle as Arrow tried to free himself from the pain. Steele tossed him over and sunk his teeth into his neck before he tore his throat out and watched as Arrows eyes filled with horror and his body fell to the ground twitching before falling still. Steele laughed as he glared at his corpse a pleased grin on his face. The soft call of his name broke him out of his trance and he looked at Sparrow she was limping towards him her tail tucked away as she approached. "Steele I didn't no he was following me I'm so sorry!" He looked at her before he made his way to the den. Nina was on his mind as he limped her way. When he got to the den Revolver was laying next to Dusty tending her wound while she tried to steady herself. Mist was comforting Nina the best she could and smiled when she saw Steele. He limped over to her and nuzzled Nina. She had calmed down some when she had seen he was ok. He sniffed his pups and noticed the white one was bleeding and crying. Nina sniffled and began to cry into Steele's fur. "She...She is hurt bad Steele...I...I think we will loose her" Steele could feel his heart want to break then a thought came to his mind. "I know what we can do but we all will need to go and soon." "What is it?"
Steele glanced at the other who were staring at him. "We have to go to Nome. I have a friend there that can help us but we need to leave now." "Steele we can't travel the pups are to young and we all are weak and injured from the fight." "I now but we have no choice if we don't go we will lose the pup" Nina sighed and then glanced at the others. "We will all have to carry a pup and move as fast as we can. Steele you will have to lead the way" He nodded before he glanced at Sparrow who had poked her head in. "Sparrow can we trust you with a pup?" "Yes Steele you can trust me" He nodded and walked over to Nina picking up the white pup in his jaws before he went out of the den. Nina and Mist picked up the other two and the pack began there journey back to Nome. Steele could feel the pain in his wounds beginning to burn from a light fever. He had been injured worse then the others. They were walking along a cliff face when Dusty let out a gasp. Steele remembered what he had done here and looked at her sadly. "Mama I think i see Rico down there?" Mist looked down there at her sons broken body and sighed as a tear fell from her eye she continued on her way as Dusty continued to look at her brothers body before she caught up with them. The wind had picked up and the pups needed to rest and eat. Steele and Revolver began to dig into the snow and frozen dirt trying to make a shelter for them.
The ground was to hard and the couldn't get it to break with a sigh Steele looked around and found a tall tree with a hole in it. He dug and tore at it with his jaws and claws until he broke it open. There was only room for two inside it and he motioned for Nina to crawl in before he gave her the pups. Then Steele motioned for Dusty to lay next to her to keep the pups and her warm. Revolver and Mist layed in front of the tree blocking out the wind as Steel used his body to shield them from the cold. It was going to be a very long night for the pack. Steele shiver against the cold of the wind as his body took to sickness. His wounds had never been cleaned and were now infected and swollen. He gazed at the dark and could almost make out the figure of a white wolf. It seemed to be flowing in the wind before it vanished into the dark of the night. Steele looked around for it but the figure was long gone. He lowered his body onto his pack mates to shield them from the bitter cold rain that hailed down onto them. Spring was coming early this year and he would pay the price for taking the brunt of the storm. The water stung his eyes as he tried to get some rest. The rain was quickly turning to ice on his body and he shivered violently against the tree. He was beginning to think he wouldn't survive the night. Then as if a flame was sparked inside him he felt warm and then fell into a deep and restless sleep. Yes it would be a very, very long night for them all indeed.
