The horizon started to turn pink with the sun light. I managed to nudge Kaiba awake with my nose so we could get going before the rest of the island started to awake up too. We stood up and I walked over to where Corey and Maleah laid sleeping.

"Corey, wake up, got to go." I nudged him in the ribs

Corey's eyes fluttered open, "Morning already?"

"Yes, we need to leave." I whined sadly

"Okay… Coming Tuesday?" Corey asked

I tilted my head to the side in confusion looking at Corey.

"Exam duel." Corey barked

"Absolutely, call later." I barked back and licked his cheek before walking towards the trees with Kaiba. I heard Caleb give his goodbyes to Corey before running to catch up with me.

We walked quietly through the trees paying close attention to any movements to make sure that there wasn't anyone talking a morning stroll. We made it to the edge where the docks waited, the boat bobbing up and down with the tide.

"Stay here I'll go get your clothes. I don't want two wolves seen boarding the boat." Kaiba said and stepped out into the morning sun. He returned a few moments later with both of our clothes in his arms. Kaiba placed my clothes at my feet and then walk away with Caleb to give me some privacy.

I phased back and began dressing; I was pulling my hair out from under my shirt when Caleb and Kaiba returned. "Shall we?"

We walked back to the boat without being seen and boarded. I walked back into the main cabin and laid down on the large couch. I closed my eyes and was asleep, never hearing the other two enter the room…

Caleb's Perspective

My sister laid asleep on the couch when I walked in. I could tell she hadn't been sleeping for several nights. It was the same way after what happened with the hunter she killed. She was struggling to convince herself that she wasn't a monster again. I wish I could help her but she is so closed off and doesn't like to admit she is hurting. She thinks she needs to act fine because she's the alpha, but she forgets she isn't alone. I've never known a life without at least one sibling; I have a very close relationship with my twin, and it kills me to see her struggling with her inner demons. It seems being around Seto Kaiba has been helping, he eases her pain, but when he isn't around she's a total different person.

"Does she sleep at night?" Kaiba asked snapping me out of my thoughts

"Lately? No not really. Nights leading up to the full moons kind of messes up our sleep schedule." I replied watching my sister sleeping.

"Does she have nightmares often?" Kaiba asked concerned. He backed the boat away from the dock and we started back towards Domino.

"She used to have them a lot. There were nights that she wouldn't sleep because she didn't want to dream. She made herself sick; we had to take her to the hospital so she could be sedated. It was the only way we could get her to sleep without dreaming. But that was several years ago, we were still teenagers." I replied

"She had one the night before last. She wouldn't go back to sleep after that, she was burning up, sweating, shaking." Kaiba said flatly

"About the first man she killed?" I asked

"She said it was, but I think she was seeing the other man too…" Kaiba replied "She doesn't talk about it. She shut down and wouldn't talk."

"She doesn't want people to know she has struggles, she thinks she needs to be invincible and strong for us, but it's eating her up inside." I said watching Kenzi's chest rise and fall with each breath. "She took the death of our parents the hardest. I don't think she actually grieved for them; she didn't have the chance. Suddenly she turned into an alpha and a parent… Being around you helps though." I said and turned towards Kaiba.

Kaiba didn't say anything; he just stared straight out to the horizon. He face was like stone.

"I've never seen her seen her care so much for someone that wasn't family. I was just giving you hell last night, but you really can help fix her problems, or at least ease the pain she holds inside." I said sternly "She's had boyfriends in the past, but she didn't really care about them. She only met with them when she wanted something out of it. Usually she met with them a couple of times and then they disappear from her life because she got bored with them. But with you she is taking her time, she doesn't want to lose you quickly. I'm not calling my sister a whore or anything, but she doesn't usually wait so long before sleeping with a guy. Actually I can count all the men she has been with on one hand. If you wake her up right now and asked for their names I'm pretty sure she couldn't tell you because she didn't care enough to remember them. With you though, she would die to save you. We've seen what mates are like, our parents were mates, and they were so in love with each other that the power of God wouldn't have been able to separate them."

"Is this the part in the relationship where the big brother threatens the boyfriend with his life if he hurts the little sister?" Kaiba asked jokingly

"No because if you hurt her it's not me that you have to worry about. She'll take care of that herself. She can be vindictive when the time calls for it. I'm just saying that she isn't someone who gets attached. You're the whole reason for her life to keep going on. I don't know how hard she would have taken killing another man if you weren't around. She took the first one pretty rough, it was pretty touch and go for over a year, and she was a recluse." I said with sadness. I didn't like seeing my sister depressed.

"Look man, I've heard about your reputation and I was a little leery about you being around my sister, but you don't seem like the dick that the magazines make you out to be. At least not with her, I guess I don't know what you're like in the cooperate world. She told me the first day we met you she saw a deep sadness in your eyes, but looking at you now you don't seem sad or lonely. I think, whether you admit it or not, she is helping you too." I said observantly

Kaiba's face fell a little like he was thinking over something I said. We didn't talk for a while and I sat down next to my sister. Her face furrowed like she just saw something that scared her, and then she started groaning like she was frightened; she was having another nightmare. She never woke up, but the nightmare continued, I grabbed her hand in hopes to help ease whatever was going on inside her head. She was burning up again, I knew she was dreaming as a wolf, which is only time she starts burning up. Kaiba turned his head to see Kenzi's stressed face.

"It's another nightmare; this is what it was like when they started." I said watching my sister's body twitch in fear

Kaiba walked over to where we were sitting on the couch. I let go of Kenzi's and stood up so Kaiba could take my place. Kaiba sat down and placed a hand on Kenzi's hair. The moment his hand touched her, her body relaxed and stopped stirring.

"You help ease her pain." I said and relaxed at the sight. "Stay with her, I think I can handle keeping the boat straight."

I walked over to the steering wheel and looked warily at all the different navigational instruments hoping I didn't need to use any of for the remainder of the trip. Every once and a while I would look over to where my sister laid sleeping. Kaiba was watching over her as if she would break at any moment. Kaiba stroked her hair, running his fingers through the long black strands. Every once and a while I would catch a glimpse of Kaiba holding the long white strand that lays hidden under the thick black hair as if he was admiring it.

"Has she told you the story about that yet?" I asked looking over to Kaiba out of the corner of my eyes.

"She said it was because of the moon and a storm." Kaiba replied looking at the white hair

"Our mom loved old tales, tales about how heroes earned their powers, or how events lead to names, like Achilles. We don't know how true the story is but we love it because our mom did. She was a college history professor before she died; she loved the stories that revolve around polytheistic cultures." I looked down at my sister now sleeping peacefully.

"She doesn't talk about them a lot." He said continuing to run his fingers through her hair

"None of us do. We didn't get a lot of time with them, Corey hardly remembers them. All I remember anymore is how happy we were together. We were close as a family, I think it's because of being werewolves." I sighed

"Both of your parents were werewolves?" Kaiba asked looking up to me

"Yea, our father was born and our mom was bitten when she was 16. She was dying of pneumonia; her best friend in high school was a werewolf and convinced the alpha to bite her. He did and it saved our mom and then shortly after she met our father and it was a fairytale romance after that, well until the end at least." I smiled remembering how fondly they told that story to us as kids

"Did they get married like normal people?" Kaiba asked smiling down at my sister

"Yes and no. They went to the court house to make it official with the humans. They had a reception with their human friends; white dress, tuxedo, wedding cake, throwing the bouquet, and all that stuff. But the real wedding was with the packs. When werewolves get married there is a ceremony that the packs put on, because packs are family whether you're related by blood or not. We've only attended one when we were young, our cousin got married to another werewolf, and the event was… different. I really don't know how to explain it. We were young and more worried about playing with our cousins anyways so I don't remember all of the rituals." I explained

"What do you do if a werewolf marries a human?" Kaiba asked

"Usually just a normal wedding; depending on which the werewolf is, bride or groom. They bring them to the pack and introduce them, and then they get inducted into the pack as an honorary wolf. Sometimes the human asks the alpha to turn them, but some alpha's are against biting people, others honor the wishes if the werewolf they are marrying agrees too. If they are allowed to be bitten then they wait until their first full moon and do a pack wedding ceremony. It's not very common for an alpha to agree to the bite though." I said with a shrug

Kaiba just looked down at Kenzi with a soft smile like he was really thinking about what I had just said.

"Knowing her she'll want the whole human wedding experience; white dress, flowers, the works. She loves dress shopping. She'll try them on for hours; she own hundreds of different evening gowns." Okay hundreds might be an exaggeration, but she loves dresses. "We don't have many friends though so I don't know who she would invite. Our family is dead, and we don't know many other packs, maybe she won't even want a wedding. It's hard to tell with her sometimes."

Kaiba just gave a soft laugh and continued to watch her sleep.

The sun was slowly rising higher in the sky. There was a bone chilling cold coming off of the water; winter would be upon us soon. Winter meant snow, and snow meant that it was time for the late night runs being the first ones to trounce through the undisturbed snow. Sometimes we liked going to the Rocky Mountain where the snow falls by the feet over night and dig tunnels playing hide and go seek. When we lived in Colorado we spent most of our winters outside chasing each other and diving head first into the snow breaking down someone's tunnel. I was caught up in my memories and didn't realize that the skyline of Domino was becoming visible on the horizon.

"I think it's time for you to take over Kaiba." I said and stepped back

Kaiba slowly stood up and tried not to disrupt Kenzi's sleeping. I took his place next to her and gently shook her awake.

"Hey, we are almost back to town." I whispered

Kenzi's eyes slowly opened, still tired, "Already? How long was I asleep?"

"Almost 2 hours, but you can go back to sleep when we get home." I said gently, she is not a nice person when you wake her up.

She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. She stood up and walked over to where Kaiba was at the steering wheel. I could tell she wanted touch him, but she just stood close enough that the slightest movement would cause their arms to graze each other. Even seeing her next to him I knew how much he helps her. My sister was happy for the first time in a long time, at least happier than I've ever seen her. She spends too much time worrying about us and not enough time making sure she is happy. I enjoy when she looks happy for herself. She looked up to Kaiba who said something to her; she smiled wide showing her teeth and laughed something she doesn't do much anymore. Then she did something I would have never expected her to do so carelessly or in front of me at least. She rose up on her tip toes and gently kissed Kaiba on the cheek. When she kissed him on the docks last night it was to prove to me that she was planning on sleeping with him some time soon, but that just now was because she really cares for Kaiba. She was having a moment of public display of affection! Kaiba blushed ever so slightly; Kenzi didn't noticed she wasn't looking at him anymore but out towards the horizon. The longer I looked at them standing next to each other with the electricity bouncing back and forth between them the more it reminded me or our parents. I couldn't help and wonder if it came to it and Kaiba asked her to marry him and that he wanted her to try and chance him would she? She promised our father that she would never bite anyone, but when it comes to Kaiba would she defy our father's wishes? Would she do anything to make him happy even if that means trying to change him? Granted we don't know if it'll work, but would she still take the chance? I could tell that she loved him, even if she didn't want to admit it yet, but would she risk his life in order to try and change him. The bite either changes you or you die so would she risk Kaiba's life if that is really what he wanted? I guess we have a long time until that comes a possibility, who know what could happen in that time frame. For now I'm just happy my sister is finally finding some happiness for herself.

She looked back up to Kaiba and I could see how much love she had for him in her eyes. I don't know what she was thinking, but whatever it is it's making her happy.
