Chapter 26

Willow's POV

I sigh softly as I look up to the star night sky. Things were quite, a peaceful quite, the crickets crick while a breeze rattle the tree gently. Everything is at peace and I take it all in with a peaceful smile. Everything is looking up, Night is recovering nicely and we will soon return to the pack. I'll be back with Prowl and later we will all have a new pack member.

A week have gone by since we have been away from the pack and I'm missing the pack. It shouldn't be long. Night will soon be up and walking no time. My ears perk up when I hear movement. I turn to where the noise have come from and I could see a two human figures. I smile while my tail begin to wag. Will and Epps are back, I stood up to greet up but froze when they step out from the shadows and into the moonlight.

Will and Epps weren't alone, they were with the whole pack but everyone look like they had come from hell. They were all had bloody wounds and some of them were limping. IronHide look to be the worst of them all as Epps and Will carry him. I bark loudly to get Sarah's attention. I dart over to Prowl just as he stumble to the ground.

"Prowl! What happen?!"

Prowl pant heavily as he lay his head down, "Megatron, Shockwave and their packs attack us," Prowl whine.

I glance at the others as everyone lay down in either pure exhaustion or pain. I bolt towards the house, barking my head off. Where is Sarah?! I can't believe that this happen! Why did this had to happen?! Everything were getting back to normal!

Night's POV

It has taken a couple of hours for Sarah in order to exam everyone. Once Sarah did what she can do, she along with Epps and Will set everyone in pairs in a stall as the kennel isn't big enough to house everyone in one stall each. Prowl was set up in the same stall as me, which is good as he told us to what has happen. To what he told us had surprise us and we couldn't believe it.

Optimus pace back and forth as he mumbles to himself but we are able to feel his anger come in waves. Prowl look down in shame but Willow try to comfort him. I look at Optimus as he growl. "I knew I shouldn't have left or at lease stay away for this long!"

"I'm sorry Optimus, I had fail you," Prowl whine.

"This is my fault! If I didn't leave in first place then none of this would had happen!" Willow cry.

"No, it my fault," Optimus said. I growl, getting annoy with all of them.

I pin my ears back as I snarl at them and gaining their attention. "Enough! It's no one's fault! None of us could had predicted that this would had happen so stop blaming yourself. The only thing we can do is to plan our next move on getting back our territory and getting back Harley. We don't have to be sorry about ourselves, the longer we mourn the longer Harley is kept captive."

The three look at each other before Willow nod her head, "Night is right, we need to focus on a plan."

"We could call on Ultra Mangus to help us," Prowl said, "But it would be risky. If taking the short way, it means going through Megatron's territory but it will take a longer to go around them."

"Not if I go alone and run all night," Optimus said.

"You can't be serious! It too dangerous, with Magatron taking our territory. He has more land and more range. You will have to get around that!" Willow shout.

"And you will be foolish if you think you can run straight through," I state.

"I must, even if we take the time for the pack to heal, we will still be out number," Optimus said, he look at me. "And now there is an Alpha female, we could reunite the packs together."

I sigh heavily, "Fine, make sure you are extra careful. By the time, you return everyone should be ready to fight."

"She's right, if the pack were to heal on their own it will had taken longer but with the help from Sarah, they will be back on their paws when you return," Willow said.

"You should leave no Optimus, the sooner you leave. The sooner you will return," I said. Optimus gentle bump his head against mine and give me a small nuzzle. "Promise me, you will be careful and come back soon."

"I promise you," Optimus said. He turn away and run away. Sandy walks in and she give us a concern look.

"I hope Harley is ok," Sandy said. Willow and I give each other a knowing look.

Harley's POV

"GET ME OUT HERE! YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE FOREVER! I DEMAND TO BE SET FREE! THE OTHERS WILL SAVE ME AND THEY WILL BITE YOUR FACE OFF! THIS DEN STINK!" I scream loudly. Ever since I was throw into this stinky den, I have been screaming my head off. I might say that they are doing a good job in ignoring me. I howl loudly and just then, Starscream came in and snarl at me.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" he screech.

I whine at his high pitch voice but in return I snarl back at him. "NEVER! I WILL NEVER BE SCLIENT!"

"SHUT UP OR ELSE I WILL MAKE YOU!"

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?! YOU DON'T GOT THE BALLS TO DO IT!"

Starscream growl as he begin to crawl to me but he stop when a very cold voice spoke. "Enough Starscream."

I could see the fear on Starscream as he pull out of the den. I look on with a confuse look but once Starscream left this grey wolf appear. She pure white and she had red eyes to which she gave me a cold death glare. With the amount of death glares that Night gives out, I'm a mute to death glares. So in return I glare back at this bitch.

Her ears pins back as she give me a growl. "You are getting on my very last nerve along with everyone else."

I scoff at her, "Well I don't like being a prisoner and that is getting on my last nerve! Look at that! We're all not happy!"

"Stop whining like a pup," she growl, "I don't see we do we need you around."

"Then why do you keep me around then?!" I shout.

"Once Nightshade know that you are kept captive, she will more than likely come running to save you," she state.

I roll my eyes and groan with annoyance. "Can't Megatron get through his thick head that he won't have her! Night is mates with Optimus!"

She chuckle coldly, "Oh no, Megatron is no longer interested in having Night as a mate. Instead he wants revenge for making him look like a fool."

I glare at her, "Who are you, why are you part of all this?"

"My name is Winter. Shockwave and his pack had easily slaughter my entire pack when I was a pup. It when I had realize how weak my pack was and I had beg Shockwave to be part of his pack. I work hard to please Shockwave and find ways in keeping the pack strong. As you can see I had done a good job so far," she scoff with disgust, "However, not good enough if they weren't able to deal with the humans. Otherwise the rival pack could have been destroy."

I look at her as if she is insane, I couldn't believe on what I had just hear. I'm speechless on what I should say as I am in disbelief. "your pack have been slaughter by Shockwave but you beg to be part of the same pack that had kill your pack! Are you insane?!"

"You call it insane, I call it being safe. You must be strong in order to survive. You are weak, you are good as dead," Winter state.

"Cold blooded bitch!" I snarl.

She give me a grin as if please, "I do try. Say do you wish to hear a little story?"

"I don't think I want to hear it," I growl.

"My old pack that was slaughter, it was the same one as Nightshade's old pack. I am glad that they were killed, they were all prideful idiots. They should had all die and I didn't want to be part of the same pack if Nightshade have become alpha," she scoff but grin, "From what I have hear, she is a horrible alpha."

Without thinking I leap at her with anger! No one insult my sister! However Winter dodge my attack before she pin me down. Her fangs right in my face. "Listen and listen good because I will not say it again. Behave yourself now or else I would have the twins hunted down and their corpses drag to you!

"You wouldn't!" I growl.

"I could and I will. I am able to ask Shockwave and he will do it," Winter snarl, "Last warning, shut up or else those twins are dead," Winter growl. She pulls away from me and left the den. I stood in fear. I'm scare for my twins.

Bumblebee's POV

I whimper as my body hurt especially my throat when Megatron had made a quick attack on me. He basically grab me by the neck and had thrown me to the side as if I was nothing. I had saw him take Harley and I had try to save her but I was then attack by Barricade. I just believe that all of this had happen. It just happen so fast, it just unbelievable.

However what even more unbelievable is that a human had treated me and I'm now resting here. At least I'm pair with Ironhide, it would have been scary if I was alone. I sigh heavy as I try to rest my aching body. Ironhide sleep heavily while he snore loudly. My ears perk up when I hear nails clicking.

My ears widen when this dog with long hair like Willow walk in. Her fur is golden with honey brown eyes. She smile at me. "Nice to see that you are awake. How are you feeling?"

"I…I…uh…you…me," I shutter. I don't know to say. She look at me with concern.

"Are you ok?" she ask softly. I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"Yes! I'm ok!" I shout. She flinch as she step back and begin to panic. "Sorry! I didn't mean to yell!"

She look at me confuse, "Ok…anyway my name is Sandy, what is your name?"

"My name is Bumblebee, it very nice to meet you Sandy," I said.

"Yeah…it nice to meet you too," Sandy said, "Uh, well it good to see you are well. I'll be back to check on you later. So bye."

I whine as I watch her leave quickly. I lay my head down and cover my eyes. "Stupid, stupid, stupid."

"Nice work Bee." I snap my head up to look at Ironhide as he gave me a smug grin.

"How much did you hear?" I ask.

"When she came in," he answer. "You like her, don't you?"

I shook my head, "No I don't!"

"Don't try to lie, I could tell that you like her," Ironhide said.

"I don't understand why I was being an idiot," I whimper.

"Don't fuss over it, we were all like that. Well at least some of us," Ironhide said.

"Were you like that?" I ask.

"Yeah, I was like that when I had meet my mate. I fumble and shutter like an idiot but she thought it was funny," Ironhide chuckle.

"But I have scare her away," I said.

"Relax, she say that she would come back to see you again," Ironhide said.

"What if she doesn't?" I ask.

"You will know what it happens, stop stressing over it. You need to rest," Ironhide said. He yawn before laying his head down. I sigh heavily as I lay my head down. Ironhide is right, I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

Will's POV

I drove up to my house after picking up Bella from school but when I had came to a stop, Bella jump out of the truck and made a beeline to the kennel. I shout, "Be careful!"

"I will daddy!" she shout back as she ran inside the kennel. I chuckle as I shook my head. When I had come home, she was happy to see me but she was more excited to see the new dire wolves. Well I guess it better than her knowing that I was in danger.

I walk into my house and I went to Sarah's office as it no doubt that she would be in there. She tend to work at home then work at the station. When I walk into her office I was right as I saw her working at her desk. She look up to me and give me a smile. "Hey Will, how are you feeling?"

"I feel better, the doc say that I'll live," I said, I walk around her desk. I give her a hug and kiss her. I look at what she is working and I saw notes about dire wolves, grey wolves and dogs. "How are you Sarah and what are you working on?"

"I'm fine Will, I'm doing research about the pregnancy of these canines. I'm worry about our grey wolf mama. She isn't carrying a normal pup, she is carrying a hybrid and often when two species mix it always concerning," Sarah said.

"But aren't grey wolves and dire wolves very similar to each other?" I ask.

"Yes they are but at the same time they are also different," Sarah said, "That when I had thought of lions and tigers. They were combine and had a hybrid cubs. They are just the same to each other but just as different like the dire and grey wolves."

"But the two cats came from different places," I said.

"Yes they were and the hybrids were created through man. It would never be possible if they were made in the wild. Anyway, the lion is the father, he massive and stronger than a tiger. Just like a dire wolf to a grey wolf. When the Liger was born, it was bigger than it parents combine. The Linger is better than both its parents but it still has many problems to which they will never be able to survive in the wild," Sarah said, "Yet this new hybrid between dire and grey wasn't made through man. It was natural in the wild and like the liger, I could guess that this pup would be bigger than it parents along with being stronger."

"If you say that a liger wouldn't stay a chance in the wild, would this pup be able to survive?" I ask.

"I don't know, this had never happen before. It is possible that it would. Look at the wolf dogs, they are healthy and strong," Sarah said, "But if it like the liger, I don't know if this is good."

"I wouldn't worry so much about it Sarah. The liger is feline, this pup is a canine. Both the parents live in the same area and we have wolf dogs. I believe that this pup would be fine. If anything this was going to happen since the two breeds live in the same area," I said.

"You are right but the only concerning part for me is the mom. She is carrying a pup that is three times bigger than a grey wolf pup. From the notes I have taken about the progress of the pup, it only getting bigger. It not even close to it due date. A big pup would harm the mom," Sarah said, "Why do you think there isn't more ligers? It puts the tiger mom in danger and you know that the species is endanger. They decide not to put the species in danger."

"I believe that the grey wolf will be fine. After all she is in your care," I said.

Sarah smile at me, "Ture, but I'm still worry."

"Everything would be fine if it like the wolf dogs, things will turn out fine," I said, "This would also help with the dire wolf population."

"Hopefully," Sarah said, "I don't want to think about dire dogs."

I flinch a little, "That is going to hurt."

"No doubt that we will be seeing dire dogs someday. I saw Willow cuddle up with one," Sarah said.

"If dire dogs were to show up, then we will keep a close eye on them," I said.

"That is what I had thought too," Sarah said. I look at the clock.

"I think it time that we feed the wolves, I'll need help in cutting all that meat," I said.

"Alright, I need a break anyway," Sarah said. We made our way to the second kitchen, the one we use when we have animals staying in the kennel.

Ironhide's POV

I open my eyes when I hear the door to this place slam open. I hear foot steps and the voice of a human but it sound young. I look at Ratchet and I saw that he had a small smile. "What are you smiling at?"

He look at me, "It the human pup. Annabella but everyone call her Bella. She is a sweet little girl, she is harmless."

"But it still a human," I growl.

"Optimus made the rule to not harm humans," Ratchet said. I look at him with shock.

"No he didn't!" I shout.

"He did, so no harming humans. Beside if you did harm the humans then you will feel the wrath of Willow. You see her angry before so I wouldn't do anything to harm the humans. Especially Bella, she is a pup and when you harm a pup. You are asking to be killed as the females will attack you," Ratchet said. I shiver at the thought, even though they are not dire wolf females. They are still females and any species that is females, they are dangerous.

I growl when I hear the human getting closer until I see her appear. She grin brightly. "Hi! I'm Annabella but you can call me Bella. It so nice to meet you!"

She dart towards Ratchet and give him a hug, "Hi Cross!"

Ratchet only chuckle as he let the human hug him. I give him a questionable look. Cross? Ratchet only chuckle, the human pull away and look at Bee. I growl slightly as she move towards him. I could see that Bee is nervous. The human look at him before she smile, "I'll call you Bee because you look like a bumblebee!"

This felt familiar, it when I remember that grey wolf pup that had given Bumblebee his name. I wonder how those pups are now. The human smile at Bumblebee and in return, he actually calm down and give the human a gentle look. It then when the human turn to me, I pin my ears back but she only smile.

"And I will name you Beauty! After Black Beauty!" she cheer. I glare at Ratchet and Bumblebee as they burst out loudly. I was going to bark at them but instead the human suddenly hug me. I don't know why I let her and I don't understand why I don't push her away. I don't know what came over me!

Bella pull away with a big grin, "Bye Beauty! I'll see you later! Bye, Cross, bye Bee!"

She runs off and I listen as she greet the others. I don't know what happen, I can't progress on what happen. However what I did notice is the smug look that Ratchet is giving me. "What are you looking at!"

"Nothing," Ratchet chuckle. I growl, I turn away from him.

"Nothing my ass," I growl.
