Hey guys! Rex here from this story, 'A Warrior's Death'. LoverWolfs is currently busy now that he's finally finished this final chapter, and I hope you guys are ready for this 11900 words chapter. Well then, let's begin!


Chapter 28 : Paradise

Time seemed to pass like the flowing river, the water moving at a fast speed without expectations. Two months passed after mating season, where all couples would purify and strengthen each other's love and build a family together. Beautiful offsprings were born into the new world, where their wonderful life and the future obstacles they're going to face await.

The sun was reaching for the center of the sky, with the clouds sheltering some parts of the green land from its glorious light. In the territory of the United pack, a male grey wolf ran at top speed with a large chunk of Caribou meat in his mouth, dashing past any wolves who were obstructing his way back to his den as he sensed an occurrence in his den, with a worried feeling growing in his heart.

I hope she's alright. He thought as he continuously applied large amounts of force in each step on the ground that sent him flying forward and pushing his muscular body to the limit, ignoring anyone who he passed by and their curious stare at him.

Finally, he caught sight of his den, which was the den of the Western leader that Winston had gifted them as their wedding gift, and ran up the steep road before making a quick turn towards the entrance of the den. Upon strolling in, he found his mate, a beautiful golden wolf, sitting on her four feet and facing towards him, and met her charming smile.

"Kate? Why are you awake?" He asked curiously as he walked towards her and placed the meat infront of her. "You should rest a little more after giving birth to our pups an hour ago."

"I don't know, Humph. I just can't seem to sleep, and I don't know why." She frowned, as if she was questioning herself, until both of them heard a grumbling sound from her stomach and she blushed bright red under her fur.

"Well, that explains why my instinct was alerting me to get some food back to you." He smiled. "Eat up."

A smile returned on her face and she began to feast on her lunch. He was very relieved that the drug inside her has just wore off before mating season, so as Kate, and you have no idea how wild she was during that time. She jumped around in her parent's den crazily the moment when her mother told her that the drug has finally wore off, and she'd done all the activities she wanted to do with Humphrey, including… mating. Fortunately, Humphrey was well-prepared for all those activities; he's been working out on his skills and body muscles since the day when they returned from the Northern pack, and that made Kate fall for his handsomeness even more.

Humphrey was about to walk over to her side before his senses struck him like a truck, and without hesitation, he immediately performed a backflip and landed on something furry, and he looked down to find the unknown visitor to be Garth, groaning in pain as his actions caught him by surprise.

"Again with the surprise jump, Garth?" Humphrey questioned as he got off of him, with Kate and Lilly watching and giggling.

"I'm just testing out how well you can control your instinct, so you should be thanking me for that." He replied as he stroked his bruised back before turning around towards Lilly who was entering the den slowly with a bulging belly and walked over to her side in case she lost her balance.

"Thanks, honey." She said in a sweet tone and nuzzled his neck.

"No problem, my princess." He replied, and helped her in sitting down gently before doing the same.

"Does it have to be once in every day?" Humphrey asked and he turned his attention back to him.

"Well, I felt like doing it, so why not?" He smiled. "I could see you're getting the hang of it anyway, since I've failed in all of my attempts to pounce on you." And he was right; Humphrey was never caught by Garth by surprise, not even once, and could dismiss any vision he received, and now he is the Beta of the pack, assisting Winston in his difficulties along with Hutch.

"Yeah. I think I can control it now." He smiled at his success before a question arose in his mind. "So, what brings you here by the way?"

"You, of course." And received puzzled expressions from Humphrey and Kate. "You ran past us like a cheetah and didn't bother to look back, so don't you think that's strange?" He asked in a worried tone. "Is there something wrong?"

"My instinct was commanding me to bring some meat back to Kate and I did that I was told, and found out that she was awake and hungry. I was just really worried, that's all." Humphrey smiled as he walked over to Kate's side and sat on four feet in a close proximity since there aren't any restrictions for them to sit too close anymore, and they nuzzled each other which reminded Lilly and Garth about Kate's current condition.

"I'm glad that that drug inside you finally wore off." Garth said, and Lilly nodded in agreement as Kate and Humphrey turned towards them.

"And just in time for her to be in-heat for real." Lilly added playfully and it made Humphrey and Kate blush under their fur. "Congratulations on being a mom of three pups, sis!"

"Thanks, and how did you know? You weren't here when I was giving birth as you weren't in the condition to move." Kate questioned curiously and her eyes fall upon Lilly's bulging belly, so as the others.

"Mom came by our den a few minutes after when you were resting and told me about it." She said as she sat down and patted her large belly happily. "I'll be a mom soon, and Garth will be dad soon too." She nuzzled Garth who returned the same.

"Congratulations on being a father by the way, Coyote." Garth teased and Humphrey chuckled.

"And congratulations on being a father soon, Barf." He replied and they laughed, and Lilly and Kate rolled their eyes as their mates weren't tired of calling each other silly names, before Lilly gasped in surprise.

"Oh, I almost forgot! May I see them, sis?" She asked eagerly and Kate smiled before lifting her tail revealing her three adorable pups; two of them were male who has the same pelt as their father, but one of them has a darker grey and larger than the other, and the last pup was a female who has her mother's pelt. The eldest was the largest male, followed by the female, and ended with the smaller male pup.

Lilly and Garth stared at them in awe with their mouth agape.

"They're so adorable!" Lilly squeaked as she couldn't resist their cuteness.

"They can't hear us, right?" Garth asked curiously, fearing that their voice might awake them from their sleep.

"They aren't in the age of hearing yet, but making too much noise will wake them and they'll cry, also when they're hungry." Kate explained and she lowered her tail gently back on the pups, concealing them. "I'm placing my tail over them to reduce the sound radiating towards them, but still, try to lower your volume, alright?"

"No problem." Garth said in a soft voice, and Lilly and Humphrey nodded in agreement. "Have you named them yet?"

"No, but we'll think of some tonight." And leaned her head against Humphrey's chest and they both shared a smile.

"Rex would be very proud to see how we're doing now for the past two months, and would be glad that his effort in looking after you is worth it." She smiled and it caught them off-guard, but they weren't disappointed about her bringing up the sad event as they clearly know one fact about Rex; he doesn't like to be pitied by anyone, especially his friends and family.

"Yeah. I'm sure he's in his dream world with Rose now, playing in the fields and enjoying their lives together." Humphrey trailed off as he was painting a picture of Rex and Rose standing on a hill under the night sky and howling towards the silver moon happily in his mind.

"Although it's only two months since his funeral, we all missed him already." Garth said and they nodded, before Kate let out a yawn as she couldn't hold it back and gaining their attention.

"Ready to sleep?" Humphrey asked with a smirk and received a nod from her. "I'll sleep with you, since I have nothing else to do anyway." And he turned towards Garth and Lilly. "You guys can rest here too if you want."

"Thanks." Garth replied and helped Lilly as she lay down on the ground gently and lied next to her, and curled himself around her to give her warmth.

"Thanks, honey." She said as both of them closed their eyes.

Humphrey, on the other paw, lied on his side, so as Kate, where they're facing each other with their pups in between them, and their wrapped their forelegs around each other's necks and their muzzles touched.

"Sleep well, darling." Humphrey said and Kate giggled before nuzzling him.

"You too, honey." She replied, and they closed their eyes at the same time and the two couples lose consciousness.


?

A grey male wolf was awakened by the sound of the grass being brushed by the cool breeze, and he opened his eyes and found himself lying on his back and staring at the clear blue sky, with the sun bathing him in its luminous light. He got up and was surprised to find himself standing in a large green field, with the view of the mountains topped with cream white snow, and the nature-green woodlands with a few deers and Caribous visible from his position. He looked up to the sky and estimated the time to be midmorning, and scanned around his surroundings until he caught sight of something that made his blood froze. There, sitting in the field a few distance away, was a white wolf, and only one question among all stood out in his mind.

Rose?

His instinct told him to head towards the unknown stranger, who could have the possibility to be his mate, but the horrible nightmares that he had was enough to make him doubt his trustable instinct for the first time. But understanding that he has nowhere else to go, and needs to know where he was, he began to walk towards the wolf slowly and hope that he wasn't in another nightmare.

Every step he made raised his fear as his nightmare was what he feared most, and his eyes shifted from the clouds to the grass and the wolf, being aware of any sudden changes. As he walked closer towards the white wolf, he noticed its back appearance is exactly similar to Rose's as he could remember, and most people would immediately jump into conclusions, but he didn't and proceeded to take precautions.

He stopped at a medium proximity from it and stood in silence with the wind brushing through their fur as he was too afraid to make a sound. Unexpectedly, its ears perked up and began to turn around, and he was stoned in place, with sweat rolling down the side of his forehead. He was ready to sprint away once he caught sight of anything horrifying.

This is it. He thought with his eyes fixed on the wolf's head, and when their eyes met, he could see its soul through its eyes to tell him who it was.

Its body was quite muscular, not isn't as large as his, and it has a forelock hung above its right eye and stared at him with its beautiful yellow eyes. It was a female and he stayed still and silent until her voice made his eyes widened and mouth agape.

"Rex?" She sobbed, a few tears streaming down her cheeks, so as him as he finally realized that it was really her.

"Rose!" He cried and they hugged each other tightly, not willing to release each other's grip and shared a hungry kiss, and for the first time he felt a great happiness that he'd never felt for a really long time.

They broke apart with their mouth panting and their eyes fastened on each other.

"Is this real? Could it be you, honey?" He asked, doubting if he in another dream.

"Yes, this is real, honey. I'm here." She replied and shared another kiss with him.

"I missed you so much, Rose." He began to cry as their lips broke apart, so as her, and their eyes met.

"I missed you too, and I'm sorry for placing you through all those pain, honey. I deeply regret making that dumb wish." She cried, and he wiped her tears gently.

"It's okay, darling. Don't blame yourself for that. You just wanted me to move on, which I can't, so the fault's mine."

"But, why did you follow it? You clearly know the consequences."

"That's because I'm forever loyal to you, my love, and I will always do at my best to fulfill your wishes, even if it's a dumb one. I don't care about the consequences, 'cause your happiness was all that mattered to me." He smiled. "I love you, Rose, and I'm willing to do anything for you, even if my life depends on it."

She could felt her heart melting slowly and emotionally with his touching words echoing in her head, and she let a few more tears seeped out of her gorgeous eyes before kissing him passionately which he accepted it well. After what felt like eternity, their lips disconnected with their eyes closed as they were enjoying the taste of each other's saliva, until Rex's face lit up as he recalled his questions that was pushed aside in his mind.

"Where are we, Rose?" He asked curiously as he looked around his surroundings, his forelegs still wrapped around her neck, so as hers on his.

"Are you sure you don't know this place?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

He looked at her with his head tilted until his instinct struck him like a brick wall, his mouth wide open and she smiled as she knew his thought.

"Could we be in..." He said in surprise, and she nodded.

"Yes. We're in Paradise." She smiled and he looked around the beautiful scenery once again.

"Wow…" He trailed off at its beauty and she giggled at his expression which caught his attention. "What's so funny?"

"Oh, you just look cute when you're amazed." And a smirk grew across his lips. "Come on, I'll take you to the places that I've explored so far."

"Alright." And he trotted towards the woodlands under her lead.

During their journey, Rose started the conversation with a surprising yet unexpected topic.

"So, you have successfully gained a powerful instinct of your own. I'm impressed." And his eyes widened.

"How do you know?" He asked and she chuckled.

"I've watched over you through a magical screen that can only be done with the presence of water. I know everyone that you've met, Rex; Humphrey, Kate, Garth, Lilly, Eve, Winston, Tony, and many more." She stopped and he followed, and she turned towards him with a smile. "I also know that you've looked after Kate like how you looked after me, but you kept her identity and mine separated. Thank you, Rex."

"Well, that shows how much I love you." He said with a grin.

"You're so good at fluttering, do you know that?" She giggled as she punched his muscular shoulder.

"That's who I am." He could feel his nature as an Omega returning to him slowly and losing his Alpha behavior in exchange, and he wondered what was causing it to happen until he realized that she was the wolf who was bringing it back, but he wasn't bothered by it; he's finally with her, and forever will be.

"And your body." She said as she stared at it in awe. "It's… wow…"

"I didn't know I could build it till this state." He scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly as he wasn't expecting her comment about his muscular body.

"Maintain it, 'cause you look good with it." She winked and a blush formed on his cheeks.

"As you wish, my beautiful angel." He bowed in a gentleman way and she giggled, and licked his cheek before they proceeded to trot.

He breathed in the refreshing air as they walked under the shades of the tall trees, with the breeze continuously brushing their fur. The nature was as beautiful as he could remember back at the Northern pack's territory, with the birds singing its beautiful melody and the trees dancing around them.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked is awe as they stared at the nature's beauty.

"Yeah, and I'm glad to be seeing this with you, Rose." He replied and their eyes met.

"Me too. Are you hungry? There's a few deers nearby that we can hunt." She suggested.

"Well, if you're hungry, then it's fine by me." He smiled which she returned the same.

They began to scan their surroundings for any signs of their prey, and immediately caught sight of a Caribou separated from its herd and feeding on the grass. They exchanged nods before dashing towards it and hid behind the trees as there weren't any bushes or tall grass. They took a peek from their hiding spot and found that their prey doesn't seem to notice their presence, which was good, and looked at each other for their plan.

Rex patted his paw on his chest, then slowly wiped it across his neck and pointed her eyes at him, indicating his message, I'll kill it. Watch me. She nodded and watched as he climbed the tree he was hiding and stood on the trunk that was pointing out towards their prey. He crawled towards the edge at top speed like a phantom which amazed her and waited for it to turn away from his position. Fortunately, a deer from the herd let out a loud yelp, gaining its herd's attention, along with their prey as it reacted to the call, turning away in the perfect degree for Rex to aim at its fully-exposed neck. Not wanting to waste the golden opportunity, he pounced at the vulnerable Caribou at lightning speed and clamped onto its neck and twisted it, creating a snap sound upon breaking its trachea before releasing it and let his victim collapse to the ground lifelessly. Astonishingly, the herd wasn't alerted by the unusual sound and proceeded to feed on the tasty grass, and Rose walked out from her hiding spot and over to him to congratulate his successful takedown.

"Great work, honey." She whispered as to not attract the herd's attention before giving him a lick on the cheek and earning a smile from him. "Come on. Let's move it to someplace private." He nodded before gripping the nape of the Caribou with Rose on the spine and they dragged it away from the herd towards where their legs would take them to.

They came to a halt in a small clearing with the tall trees looming over them and flowers of different colors and species swaying around them like dancers, and they decided it to be the perfect place for them to enjoy their breakfast. They dropped their meal on the ground before sitting closely to each other and began to munch on the Caribou.

"So, you've mastered my 'Ghost-walk'. I'm impressed." She smiled charmingly. "I knew you could do it."

"Well, I had to if I want to survive in this lonely world without you." He sighed after swallowing the minced meat in his mouth.

"But you weren't lonely, right? You have the others to look out for you." She said and tore off a chunk of flesh from the tendon of the Caribou.

"Yeah. I was completely depressed in my journey alone, away from the Northern pack's territory I've once called home, as if I was isolated on an island with no one beside me." He lowered his head in sadness before continuing with his voice full of hope. "I thought I was lost in a dark world, until I rescued Kate and met the others. Their friendship and kindness gave me a feeling that I've never felt throughout my journey as a lone wolf… happiness. They gave a different point of view about life, and without them, I would still be seeing it as a torture and punishment for those who lacks of luck." And he turned towards her with a smile. "I am grateful and considered myself lucky to meet them."

"I'm glad that they're able to help you, darling. I've been watching them since you lived in in their pack territory, and they really are good people." She replied as she touched his soft cheeks gently.

He smiled until he noticed a surprising change about her, his eyes widening and causing her head to tilt to one side.

"What's wrong?" She asked curiously.

"T-the drug… I-it's gone!" He stuttered happily before pulling her in for a hug which she accepted it well.

"Yeah, I know. I noticed that I wasn't sweating anymore the moment when I arrived here." And he pulled away for their eyes to meet as he noticed another change in her.

"That's strange. Although you're normal now, your body seems to be slightly warmer than average." He said curiously until she pushed her weight against him, causing him to crash on the ground and lay on his back with her on top.

"Well, that's because I'm… in-heat." She said in a lustful tone and his cheeks immediately flushed into a crimson red. "Why? Are you eager to try it with me?" She teased playfully.

"N-no, o-of course n-not! W-what makes y-you think t-that w-way?" He stuttered nervously as he knows what she had in mind and she giggled at his reaction before edging her lips close to one of his ears and whispered in an alluring tone.

"'Cause I am." And he swore he felt his heart skipped a few beats.

"U-um. Well, i-if you want t-to, t-then s-s-sure." He felt more nervous than before and she let out another giggle.

"Alright, but we'll do it later in our new den." She winked and he looked away in an attempt to hide his shyness which she smiled at it.

She slowly lowered her body and rested on his body with her head on his chest which caused his muscles to tense, but he relaxed as he realized it was only a hug and accepted it by wrapping his forelegs around her nape for a warm embrace, and it lasted for a few minutes before they proceeded to eat their unfinished meal.

When they're done, they decided to take a walk around the woodland to work off their intake, and as they walked through the crowded trees, she stopped him mid-way which puzzled him.

"What is it?" He asked and she smiled gleefully.

"Now that you have the skill of an Alpha, or I should say 'Highly-skilled Alpha', why don't we play a game?" She said as she crouched in a playful manner with her tail wagging rapidly.

"Let me guess, Hide-and-Seek?" He replied with an eyebrow raised and she nodded.

"I'll be the hider and you'll be the seeker. No peeking, or I'll have to punish you, in a naughty way." She said lustfully as she walked pass him and wiped her tail against his chin, causing his tail to stand upright at the arousing feeling.

"Well, I guess I'll have to break the rules." He joked and received a sexy glance from her as she looked over her shoulder before walking over to a tree to begin his count.

He closed his eyes and began the countdown, his voice echoing in the silent and peaceful morning. He was feeling rather nervous as this was his first game against her with his instinct, as if this was a competition to pick out who has fully mastered their most powerful sense. He prepared himself as the countdown was close to its end.

3…2…1…

He turned around and found here nowhere to be seen, nor any clues or trails left for him to track.

Just like the old days. He thought as he let out a sigh. Wish me luck.

As he took a step forward, his instinct immediately sensed a presence behind him and he knew that it was her in a split second, performing the same old 'back-hiding' trick, and he began to think of ways to catch her by surprised, but it won't be easy; she has an instinct of her own. He proceeded to walk around as to not raise any suspicion for her and buying some time for his mind, and stopped when he successfully constructed a well-estimated-yet-painful plan.

He began by making a quick turn to his back, and once it was close to full, he immediately reversed back to his original direction and pounced without any second thoughts and crashed against something furry, which revealed to be Rose who was lying on her back with him on top.

"Gotcha." He said charmingly and received a smile from her.

"Good job, my handsome omega." She smiled and licked his cheek. "Forcing me to jump over to where you were facing and catching me after that is really impressive."

"Thank you."

"Looks like I'm having a few rusts on my skills, but," She immediately swooped her tail against his hind legs, causing to fall and exchanging positions with her. "It won't be easy in the next game."

"You're on." He accepted the challenge, and they continued to play for the past two hours.

In the end, they were a tie in the score and they lied against each other on the ground, exhausted from their strenuous activity.

"You're- good." She congratulated in between breaths.

"Tha-Thanks." He replied, also in between breaths, and a minute later, she got onto her four feet and stared down at his face.

"Come on. Let me show you our den. It's only a few meters away, and it's beautiful." She said, feeling well-rested and energized.

"Alright." He smiled as he got up and walked beside her towards their new home.

The sun has reached the center of the sky, cueing the end of the morning and the beginning of the afternoon and casting shadows directly below any living creature. The couple wasn't affected by the heat as the trees provided shades and cool air. They were enjoying the pleasant moment of being reunited, walking side-by-side, tackling and nuzzling each other playfully, until a question rose in her mind.

"Um, Rex?" Rose asked, starting the conversation and their eyes met.

"Yes? What is it, darling?" He replied with a smile.

"Well, I know that you told your friends that you need them to fulfill a few wishes for you," And received a nod from him before proceeding. "And I understood all of them except one." And he raised an eyebrow at her confusion until she added. "I know you want our graves to look beautiful, so you've asked Humphrey to create heart-shapes made by Roses around it, and planting Rose seeds so there would be more Roses in our pack territory, but why must it be 99 roses in exact?"

"Hmm. I'll explain it to you once we arrived at our new den." He said with a mischievous smirk and as they arrived in a large clearing, his jaw dropped as he stared at the beauty infront of him.

Their den, a large elder tree, was taller and bigger than their old tree den. Its top region was completely concealed by multiple branches of green leaves, and a wooden slide that was attached to the base of a medium-sized hole protruded on the lower side of the trunk. Next to it laid a pond, its water sparkling with the reflecting sunlight.

It was a Sanctuary.

He walked towards it slowly as he couldn't believe his naked eyes.

"Wow…" Was the only word that came out of his wide-opened mouth and she giggled at his adorable expression.

"That hole only pours out water into the pond when it's raining, and you'll know why once you enter the den." She explained as she walked over to his side. "Trust me, you'll be speechless when you do." She said gleefully, and they walked over to the entrance of the den, which was a hole below the elder tree and its wideness perfectly fits a full-grown wolf.

"So, would you like to explain to me now?" She stopped along with him in a small clearing infront of their den, eager to hear his explanation about his last wish.

"Of course." He smiled as he sat on the short grass. "Sit close to me and you'll see it."

"See?" She asked curiously as she followed his command with her eyes fixed on his.

He made a clap with his paws and nothing unusual has happened for the past few seconds, and she was beginning to think that he was playing a prank on her until she saw it.

Slowly, heart-shapes made of roses formed around them piece-by-piece, forming from the smallest heart to the largest, and she received the complete picture to be exactly the same as how Humphrey had placed around their graves. Rex picked up the nearest flower and gently placed it in her white fur before kissing her cheek.

"I wasn't decorating our graves, Rose. This wish is a surprise for you, and would you like to know why are the roses exactly 99?" And she nodded in surprise before he proceeded. "99 roses represent my love for you for as long as I live, but actually, there's a 100 roses here." And a curious expression spread across her face before counting all the roses and felt certain that there's only 99 of them until he touched her soft cheek and smiled. "That 100th rose is you, Rose." And her eyes widened in surprise. "100 roses stand for your harmonious lives together for a century, our love staying pure till our ripe-old age, and I will keep this 100th rose close to me forever."

She was completely heart-warmed by this and giggled as he looked at her with his charming eyes before licking his cheek.

"Only for a century?" She questioned with an eyebrow raised as she was expecting a longer years, which he was well-prepared for as he took out the rose seeds that was hidden behind him and extended it to her.

"Nope, which is why I asked Humphrey to gather some rose seeds. We'll plant it here infront of our den and let it grow into a field, or even bigger, bearing 999 roses or more. Do you know what do 999 roses represent?" And she shook her head and braced for the surprise that was about to be thrown at her. "It stands for my everlasting and eternal love for you, which would never die. As for more than 999 roses, umm…" He scratched the back of his head as he scavenged his mind for more details and she giggled at his awkwardness before their eyes met once again. "I don't know, but I'm sure it's way better."

A few tears seeped from the edge of her eyes and she dived at him, catching him by surprise and they crashed to the ground with him lying on his back and her above, and she kissed him passionately, which he accepted it well, before breaking apart with their eyes fastened on each other.

"I always knew you have some tricks in your fur." She nuzzled his nose before kissing him in the lips. "Thank you." She hugged him, feeling touched by his pure love for her and the warm embrace that he returned.

"Like I said, your happiness is all that mattered to me." He smiled as he smelled the appealing scent of her fur and rubbed his muzzle against the side of her neck, so was her on his, before they broke apart and she got off of him.

"Let's plant these seeds together." She sniffed and received a nod from him before they began to dig the exact amount of holes on the soil for the seeds.

They dropped one seed in each hole and buried it, patting the soil to make it flat and it took them a minute to complete it. They finished burying the last seed with Rex patting the fertile soil and their eyes met.

"Come on, let's see the interior of our den." She said and walked over to the entrance of the den along with him by her side.

As they set foot on the hardened soil, he stared in astonishment at the wideness of their den and the small-sized pool resided at one side of the large space, with the thick roots of the elder tree as their ceiling; their den looks like as if it was almost impenetrable.

"This is… beautiful." He said in awe.

"I know. I had the same expression as yours when I discovered this place." She giggled as she walked over to a hole in the ceiling of their den. "But that's just the start. Come on. I wanna show you something cool." She motioned before leaping into it.

Being held strong by curiosity, he followed and they were now walking in a gradual wooden slope that leads them to the top of the tree. The space around them began to narrow as they climbed higher, and his head bumped into her plot as she stopped in a sudden.

"Ohmp." He sounded in contact before taking a few steps back. "Sorry. Uh, have we arrived yet?" He questioned.

"Yeah. Are you ready?" She replied as she looked over her shoulder a little due to the cramped space that they're in.

"Yeah. Go ahead." And she proceeded to walk forward, and he could smell the cool air the moment when she disappeared.

He could see thick brushes of leaves as he reached the end of the spiral slope, blocking the bright light and leaving a few of it protruding from its gaps. He pushed the leaves aside and found himself standing on a wide and thick branch before looking up and stoned in place with his eyes widened at the beautiful scenery around him; he was staring at the beautiful landscape of the green field, the protruding mountains topped with cream snow, and the deep blue sea that was miles away from their den. He left his mouth wide open and she giggled before placing a paw under his chin and shut it for him.

"Thanks." He smiled as it gained his attention. "Wow. This is really beautiful. Think about all the places that we can venture to!"

"I know, and this is when the fun starts." She giggled as she walked over to his front left and stood on another thick branch with a mischievous smile, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Fun? What do you mean by-" His sentence was left unfinished when she pushed him, causing him to lose his balance and dropped through the thick bushes of leaves, with him shutting his eyes tightly and screaming in fear.

He thought he was dropping from the edge of the tree as he felt leaves brushing through his fur for a moment until he landed on something smooth, and he was now sliding down on a wooden slide inside the tree spirally against the walls with his tail in between his legs, followed by Rose who was behind him and howling in joy and excitement at the intense fun she was having. Their fun ended when they flew out of the hole that was on the lower side of the trunk and landed in the pond with a splash. She got onto her four feet and shook off the cool water absorbed in her fur before looking over to her side where Rex was as he got up and their eyes met. She feared that he might be enraged at her unsuspected and unexpected surprise as it completely caught him off-guard, but fortunately, her expectations didn't came to reality due to his nature.

"That… was… awesome!" He jumped in excitement, creating another splash and causing her pelt to become wet once again, but it didn't bother her as she was distracted by his attractive smile and relief, and he turned to look at her with a wide grin on his lips. "Let's do it again!" And she chuckled.

"Next time, darling. Come on. I need to show you something." She stepped out of the pond and shook herself dry, so was Rex, before they re-entered the den together.

As they entered the den, Rex turned towards the entrance and watched as she gripped a branch of leaves with her mouth and placed it against the hole they've entered through, before meeting his puzzled expression.

"It serves as a door and conceals this hole. Although it's weak, but it still works." She smiled. "Come on." She walked over to the pool along with him.

It was wide and could fit at least three wolves and several pups, and its depth was slightly more than shallow. They sat by the bank and noticed droplets of water were falling from the ceiling and onto the still water, creating waves on the pool's surface and dripping sounds that echoed in the silent den. They looked up and found the source of the droplets to be from a small crack of the large and thick roots, with water continuously seeping through it. Coincidentally, it completely stopped the moment when they stared at it and she smiled as she can finally proceed with her objective before their eyes met.

"This is the pool that I've used to watch over you, and I thought it would be good to see how your-or our- friends are doing." She smiled and he was surprised that he had completely forgotten about them for the past few hours.

"Thanks. So… how do you make this 'magical screen' appear?" He questioned curiously as he stared at his reflection formed the still water.

"Just relax and think of their appearance, and wait for a few seconds before opening your eyes and you'll see them on the reflection of the water." She explained, and he let out a deep sigh to prepare himself for his first try.

This should be easy. He thought before closing his eyes and recalling the wonderful times he'd spent with them; the training session he had with Humphrey, Kate telling him the story about Humphrey and her relocation to Sawtooth National Park, the howling night he had with Lilly, and the hunt he had with Garth. Images of those events played in his mind, causing a few tears to seep out of his eyes at the thought of it before opening his eyes, and there in the pool infront of him began to appear thick white fogs, spreading across the water and when it stopped, his eyes widened in surprise as he was now watching Humphrey and Kate having a pleasant conversation with each other.

"I'm glad that that drug finally wore off in her body, and it seems that Humphrey's body shape is almost as buff as Garth." He let out a sigh of relief before a smirk grew across his lips, and Rose smiled at his happiness as it was what mattered to her most.

Unexpectedly, he watched as Garth entered the den silently and crouched as he charged his hind legs for a pounce, aiming to catch Humphrey by surprise. Rex was expecting Humphrey to not get caught and he's really sure about it; it would be impossible for Humphrey to complete his most difficult wish, which was to locate Katrina's den, without an instinct to guide him, unless he received assistance from someone who has it.

Fortunately, Humphrey seemed to sense Garth's presence and in a swift, he leaped into the air and performed a backflip, allowing the poor Garth to fail at his attempt as he pounced forward and landed on his back, squeaking a yelp from him.

"He finally earned his own instinct. I'm proud of him." Rex smiled as he felt he was beamed with pride, and Rose rubbed her cheek against his chest.

"You're a great mentor, honey. I've seen how you've trained him and Lilly, along with those senior wolves in Alpha School." She complimented.

"Thanks." And they proceeded to watch the whole event.

There at the entrance of the den then walked in Lilly, whose belly was bulging unusually and they got the idea of her current condition, and she giggled at her mate's humiliation, so as Kate. Humphrey got off of Garth and he gave his bruised back a few strokes before walking over to his mate to assist her, and helped her in sitting down gently before doing the same beside her, and they continued their conversation.

Rex and Rose watched the view silently and were curious about the topic of their conversation, and Rose turned towards him which caught his attention.

"What's wrong?" He asked as their eyes met.

"Aren't you curious of what they're talking about?" She questioned with an eyebrow raised.

"Well, of course I am. But how can the 'view' to produce their voice?"

"Just command the pool to fulfill it in your mind."

"That's all? Any command that I make to the pool must be in my mind?" And she nodded in agreement. "Alright. Give me a sec." He concentrated his eyes on the view that was continuous and did what she had told him, and a few seconds later, the voices of the two couple from the 'screen' sounded from it and echoed in their den.

"Oh, I almost forgot! May I see them, sis?" Lilly asked eagerly, and Rose and Rex watched as Kate lifted her tail, revealing three adorable newborn pups.

"They're… beautiful." Rose stared in awe, and trailed off as her mind was painting images of the appearance of her and Rex's pups.

"Yeah. Two of the pups have the same pelt as Humphrey's and the last has Kate's." He smiled at the harmonious moment that his friends were having. "Congratulations in being and gonna-be parents, my good friends." And Kate re-concealed her pups with her tail.

Rex felt relaxed upon knowing their condition and decided to dismiss the fog-formed screen since his objective has been fulfilled, until he heard his name being mentioned by Lilly.

"Rex would be very proud to see how we're doing now for the past two months, and would be glad that his effort in looking after you is worth it." And it halted his command as it caught his full attention.

"Yeah. I'm sure he's in his dream world with Rose now, playing in the fields and enjoying their lives together." Humphrey said, and a smirk grew across Rex's lips.

"Yeah, I am." He said and Rose wrapped her arms around his neck with a lovely smile, and he wrapped an arm around her waist before turning back to the screen. "Thanks to you guys."

"Although it's only two months since his funeral, we all missed him already." Garth said, and his smile changed into a slight frown.

"I miss you guys too." And Rose nuzzled him to provide comfort which helped as his frown vanished into a smile. "Thanks, honey."

"No problem, darling." She replied, and Kate's yawn caught their attention.

"Ready to sleep?" Humphrey asked with a smirk and received a nod from her. "I'll sleep with you, since I have nothing else to do anyway." And he turned towards Garth and Lilly. "You guys can rest here too if you want."

"Well, looks like it's over. You and your pups will be safe under our watch, my great friends. Sleep well." Rex said with a smirk before commanding the screen to dismiss, and the fog slowly faded away without any trace of it left.

Unexpectedly, Rose pounced at him as he was turning towards her and they rolled towards one corner of the den, and crashed against the wall with a thud, and Rex was now lying on his back with her on top.

"What was that for?" Rex asked, puzzled by her action.

"Did you forget about the discussion that we had back at the forest?" She asked with a mischievous smile.

"Which? We had lots of it."

"You know, about me in… heat?" And the color of his cheeks turned into a crimson red.

"Oh…"

"Since our friends have started their own…"

"If you can't beat them… join 'em?" He bit his lips in a naughty and sexy way and she nodded before edging her lips close to one of his ear and whispered.

"I know this may not be enough to repay you from all the pain you've suffered, but please accept this as my apology."

Unwilling to accept her statement, he pulled her away from the wall, switching their position and was staring down at the surprised Rose.

"You don't have to repay me, Rose. It was my choice to stay alive. So, let this instead be my fulfillment to your wish of having pups." And his face lit up as a question popped up in his mind. "Wait, can we still have pups even though we're not in the living world?"

"I don't know, honey, but I will receive your love at least if we can't." She winked and his mischievous smile returned on his face. "But I sincerely hope we can have some."

"Me too."

He gazed into her gorgeous eyes and felt as if he was staring at her soul; hers was a red flame that was burning brightly and dancing wildly, eager to unleash its heat as its power. She felt the same as he stared into his eyes, and his soul was… unique; his was a blue flame that was burning calmly and gracefully, eager to express its beauty, passion and love and showing neither violence nor anger. They felt as if time has stopped at that moment.

"Your eyes… are beautiful, Rose." He said, completely charmed by her golden eyes.

"Same goes to your eyes, Rex." She replied, feeling spellbound by his yellow eyes.

Slowly, their muzzles began to move towards each other and their lips connected, enjoying the feeling of their tongue sliding and twisting with each other and exchanging warm saliva. She wrapped her forelegs around his neck and pulled him closer, with her body temperature slightly increased and womanhood producing pheromones and its scent hits his nose like a brick wall and causing his whole member to extend from its shaft. Their lips broke apart with their eyes fastened on each other and panting heavily for air, and for more.

"How-are-we-doing-so-far?" He asked in between pants.

"Very good." She replied, also filling the gaps of her pants.

"Are you ready?" He gave her a look that indicates he's advancing to the next stage, and she understood clearly.

"Go ahead." And their lips re-connected with their eyes closed.

They kissed for a few minutes before Rex broke apart and began to kiss her neck, eliciting moans from her and causing her to quiver at the feeling of satisfaction, and he made his way down slowly to her womanhood. He licked up her pheromones and swallowed it, feeling it flowing down his throat and enjoying its taste.

"You-taste-amazing." He muffled in between licks and she blushed at his statement.

He began to push his muzzle through her folding and licked the walls of her cavern, causing her moan volume to increase at the pleasure she was feeling. Seeing that she was enjoying his work, he proceeded to lick in a clockwise motion until his tongue came across a protruding bean-shaped, rough and spongy tissue that made her body trembled a little, with her moan louder than the rest she'd made. Understanding that he has found the golden spot that triggers her pleasure rush, he licked it repetitively without any pauses in between as he wanted her to have the maximum pleasure she has ever felt, and she never wanted him to stop. He then picked up the pace, and her voice has reached its maximum volume, with her muscles tensing as she could feel her womanhood ready to release its load.

"Rex. It's-coming." She moaned loudly, with the sound of lapping uniting with her voice.

"Go ahead." He replied in a muffled voice, not willing to take a break.

Finally, she let out one loud and final moan before releasing, splattering his face and filling his mouth with her warm fluid. He extracted his tongue from her cavern and looked at her with satisfaction and lustful eyes, and the alluring way that he swallowed her fluid and licking some of it on the edge of his lips roses her love for him rapidly.

"How do you feel, honey?" He asked in a charming tone.

"Ama-zing." She replied in between pants and she bit her lips sexily. "But," She pulled him close and rolled to the side, switching back their original position. "You can't be the only one having now, can you?"

"Of course." He smiled handsomely, and their lips re-connected.

As they were enjoying their warm and passionate kiss, with their tongues wrestling with each other and their salivas flowing into each other's mouths, she slowly reached her paw down to his member and gently gripped it before giving it a relaxing massage, eliciting moans from him as he closed his eyes and relaxed his body. They broke apart and she stared at him with eyes full of love and passion.

"How are you enjoying it so far?" She teased and giggled as he left his tongue hanging out and puffing warm air into the cool atmosphere.

"Very-good." He said in between puffs.

"But that's just the start." She winked before lowering her head towards his member and gave it a few licks before inserting it into her mouth.

He moaned in pleasure and aroused at the wet feeling as she twisted her tongue around his member, and massaging his sheath at the same time. She began to thrust her head as she sucked, receiving louder moans from him and noticed his hind legs involuntarily spreading wide open for the comfort of her position. She then halted in satisfaction and stood above him and kissed him in the lips before giggling at his aroused expression.

"Do you like that?" She teased and he touched her cheek with his paw.

"Of course." He replied with his tongue flapping and she chuckled.

"Well then, are you ready to advance?"

"Sure." And as he tried to get onto his four feet to get in position, she placed a paw on his chest and halted his action.

"Let me show you something new, something that I've learnt a long time ago." And received a puzzled-yet-charming expression from him.

He watched curiously as she positioned his member below her womanhood before sliding it in, exciting and eliciting moans from them both as their flesh merge into one, and she let out a painful gasp which caught his attention.

"Are you okay, honey?" He questioned worriedly and she gave him a heart-warming smile.

"I'm okay. The pain will be gone a few seconds later."

"Well, just tell me when you want to stop. Don't push yourself, alright?" He frowned and she gave him a passionate kiss before pulling away.

"I will." And she began to move her hips vertically in a slow pace, with her pupils dilating as the pain was slowly replaced with immense pleasure.

The sense of nervousness faded away in them, allowing her to move more comfortably and him relaxing his tensed body, and they were now enjoying the loss of their virginity as they panted heavily with their tongues left hanging out and pelts absorb their warm sweat. Their eyes fastened on each other, staring at each other's souls that were burning wildly as they exchanged heats and unite into one. They've been waiting for this moment in a very long time, eager to show their affection and love towards each other, and now that God has given sympathy for them and granted their reunion, they aren't taking any chances of delaying this craving.

Noticing that she was starting to ran out of fuel as she doesn't seem to have any more energy to continue, he wrapped his forelegs around her neck and rolled to one side, switching their position once again and he nuzzled her nose which made her giggled.

"I think I should be the one who's exerting energy, and not you, honey." He smiled charmingly which she replied the same. "By the way, where did you learn that position?"

"Well, it's a funny story…" She trailed off as her mind browsed for the specified memory.


Rose's POV

It was during our honeymoon, at the place where we've discovered our love song. We were sleeping under a shady tree a few meters away from the human camp till I woke up in a sudden and realized that I have to let out a… waterfall. I looked over to my side and found you asleep peacefully and decided not to bother you. I got onto my four feet and began to search for a suitable spot.

Unfortunately, every tree around our sleeping place isn't pretty enough to satisfy me, as you know how much I cared about that, so I had to search further away. Finally, I came across a good and healthy-looking one and immediately released my completely-filled bladder. Just when I was finished and about to head back to you, moans of a male and female voice caught my attention. Being controlled by curiosity, I decided to follow the source of the sound, and I arrived at the human camp.

I hid in a nearby bush that has a clear view of the tent and found its interior to be lightened, casting two human shadows on the walls of the tent. One of the shadows that looks like a female was on top of the other that looked like a male, moaning loudly as she moved her hips vertically and continuously, so was the male. I stared at them curiously as I couldn't understand their action at first, and it took a minute for me to realize it and causing my cheeks to burn bright red.


"So that's how I learned it." She finished with a wink and he chuckled.

"Well, that's fascinating, and a coincidence as well." He smiled.

"So, shall we proceed with our… work?" She raised an eyebrow.

"We shall. Are you ready?" And she whispered into his ear.

"Go for it." And their lips collided.

He positioned his member as they kissed and gently pushed it in her womanhood, with both of them moaning loudly as that happened and he began to thrust slowly, allowing them to enjoy the romantic moment and the satisfying pleasure. She wrapped her forelegs around his neck and gripped his fur with her paws tightly as he went further in, and he could tell that she wasn't relaxing her body. Their lips broke apart and he whispered as their eyes met.

"Relax, Rose, and let me do the rest." He smiled as he thrust gently. "I love you, Rose."

"I love you too, Rex." She replied, and their lips re-connected.

Slowly, her hind legs spread wide open and allowing him to thrust more confidently, feeling his thick member rubbing against the walls of her warm and moist cavern. To relax her even further and let her feel more of his love, he picked up the pace and kissed her exposed neck, increasing her moan volume, so as his, and they couldn't tell who was moaning the loudest. He could feel his ecstasy building up inside him, and knowing that he couldn't hold it in any longer as he began to tire. She, on the other paw, felt the same either.

"I- can't keep- it in- much longer, Rex." She moaned and he felt replied upon knowing their feelings were alike.

"Alright." And he moved his lips back on hers, their moans vibrating in each other's mouths.

Finally, she was the first to release as her ecstasy has reached its limit, and he could feel her fluid splattering the tip of his member as she let out a loud moan of orgasm that broke their kiss. Fortunately, her moan filled the final gap of his limit and he made a final thrust in as deep as he could, inserting his knot and releasing his fluid with his eyes wide open at the immense pleasure.

"Mmmmm." She moaned as she felt his fluid flowing inside her and mixing with hers.

His eyes automatically closed and he collapsed to her side in exhaust, both of them panting heavily and she looked at him with a smile.

"That… was… amazing! Thank… you… Rex." She said in between breaths and he opened his eyes slowly to greet hers.

"I'd say… the same… to you… too." He replied, filling the gaps of his pants, and they cuddled close to each other and he wrapped his forelegs around her neck, and they closed their eyes before losing consciousness to rest their worn-out body.

The sun proceeded to perform its daily duties, and began to set once it has finished for the silver moon to take its turn. They've slept for more than three hours, and Rex's began to open as the dripping of droplets of water on the pool from the root awoke him. He looked to his side and found her sleeping beautifully with a smile on her tender lips, well, that's what he think until his instinct told him about his false judgement, and he smiled before kissing her cheek.

"So, how long have you been awake?" He questioned confidently, and one of her eyes flipped open and looked at him.

"A few minutes ago. I found you still asleep, and so I decided to rest for a while till you wake up, until now." She replied and nuzzled him lovingly which he returned the same.

"Well, looks like it's night time already." And they turned towards the entrance of the den that was covered by its 'door' and noticed that there aren't any lights shining in before turning back towards each other. "Why don't we wash ourselves up before climbing to the top of the tree and enjoy the beautiful night view?"

"Sounds great to me, especially when I get to spend it with the person whom I loved most." She rubbed her head against his chest and he did the same against her nape.

"Likewise." And they both got up and stretched their aching muscles before walking towards the pool.

The water was pure and they slowly sat down in the cool and refreshing water before washing the dirt, sweat, and dried fluids in their pelts off. They splashed water playfully at each other a few times, enjoying their miraculous reunion and they got out once they're done and shook themselves dry, and pushed their puffing furs down with their paws before their eyes met.

They admired each other's handsomeness and beauty with a smile, but Rex seemed to be puzzled by something that made her raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" She questioned curiously.

"Hmm. Something's missing." He placed a foreleg across his chest and another vertically on top with its paw under his chin, acting in a gentleman's way which made her smiled until his face lit up as he solved his doubt. "Oh, right! How can I forget this! I'll be right back." He kissed her cheek and trotted towards the entrance of the den, with her watching as he gently moved the branch away and exited the den.

A few seconds later, he returned and to her surprise, a rose was in his mouth and a large beautiful smile grew across her face as he walked towards her.

"May I?" He muffled as he bowed in a gentleman's gesture and she placed a paw on her mouth as her let out an adorable giggle before joining the act.

"You may, handsome gentleman." She replied as she lowered her head, and he gently placed the rose in her fur before backing two steps to have a complete view of her appearance.

"Wow… You look… more beautiful than before." He stared in awe and she let out another giggle before kissing him on the cheek.

"Thank you, honey. You look more handsome than I could remember."

"Thanks you." He smiled. "Shall we?"

"We shall." And they walked over to the entrance that leads to the top of their den.

"Ladies first." He stood beside the entrance and bowed gentlemanly.

"Thank you." She said as she walked pass him and wiped his chin with her fluffy white tail that raised his head in pleasure, and she leaped into the hole along with him behind her.

As they arrived and sat close to each other, they stared at the beautiful scenery of the dark-green land populated with small shadows casted by trees, the mountains casting large and long shadows across a part of the land, and the deep-blue sea reflecting the appearance of the moon, with the water twinkling as the sea moved in a calm pace. There, in the night sky covered with millions of blinking stars, was a full silver moon that glowed beautifully and gracefully, and it bathed them in pure moonlight. They leaned their head against each other as they admired the beauty of the moon together, with his paw wrapped around her shoulder and her enjoying his warmth.

"The views are beautiful tonight, especially the moon." She said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah." He replied, and she cuddled into his chest.

"I wonder how Rebecca and Lex is doing…" And he patted her back gently to provide comfort.

"I'm sure they're in their own world, enjoying their lives together, same as us." And their eyes met. "I think it's time." And she nodded in agreement before sitting straight with her chest out, so as him.

Silence fell upon them for a few seconds before he began with a beautiful melody.

"Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you"

She then joined in with a harmonious melody, and they chorused throughout the whole song with their eyes closed and let their love guide them.

"And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere I would've followed you, oh-oh-oh-oh

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something...''

They slowly opened their eyes as they finished and looked towards each other, a few tears seeped out of their eyes as they haven't sang their love song together in a long time. He slowly placed his paw on her cheek and wiped off her tears while brushing her hair with the other.

"I love you, Rose, and I forever will." He said with a smile.

"I love you too, Rex, and forevermore." She replied with a smirk, and they kissed passionately under the moonlight…


The howling wind awoke Humphrey as he opened his eyes and raised his head to examine his surroundings. He found Kate still asleep, along with his pups, but there weren't any sign of Lilly and Garth.

I guess they must've left silently when we're asleep. He thought as he turned towards the entrance of the den and found the day to be night time.

He looked back at Kate who was wearing a beautiful smile as she sleep that charmed him as he stared at her involuntarily until she groaned as she woke up, snapping him out of it and she opened her eyes to greet him.

"Hey, darling." She yawned.

"Hey, honey. How was your sleep?" He asked with a heart-warming smile as she licked her paw and cleaned her eyes.

"Pleasant. What about you?"

"Likewise. So, shall we start naming our pups?" And he earned a smile from her.

"Sure, but hold on a sec." She slowly got up as to not disturb her pups and stretched her muscles. "My muscles ached after lying like that for too long. Anyways, let's begin, starting from the oldest pup." And they stared at the grey male pup that was larger than the other male. "So, what should we name him?"

"Hmm." He hummed as he thought for a while. "How about… Nicholas?"

"Nicholas… it's great! It sounds wise and powerful." She smiled. "I never knew you're good in coming up with names, Humph."

"Well, that's who I am, full of surprises." He winked and she giggled before kissing him on the cheek. "Alright. Who's next?" And she motioned towards the golden female pup. "I think it's your turn now, Kate."

"Okay, let's see…" And she closed her eyes for a moment as she was deep in her thoughts until her face lit up with her eyes opened. "Vex!"

"Vex?" He questioned with an eyebrow raised and she nodded gleefully.

"Yeah. It sounds skillful, cunning, graceful, and pride."

"Hmm. Well, your idea's fine by me." He nuzzled her which she returned the same. "Now for the last pup." And they stared at the grey male pup that was smaller than the other two.

"I think it's your turn, Humph."

"Alright. Let me think for a moment." And he closed his eyes as he tried to gather as much names as he could come up with and choosing the best among all, and his eyes immediately flicked open. "… Onyx."

"Onyx? Isn't that a gemstone, as you've told me before?" She seemed to feel uncomfortable with it upon knowing that they'll name their son by a stone.

"Yeah. Do you know why I picked it?" And she shook her head and he proceeded. "It's because I've ever heard from a human who've studied gemstones before, and he said that Onyx stands for inner strength, focused attention, willpower, self-mastery, discipline, and reason. So, what do you think about it now?" He looked at her with a smile which she returned the same.

"It's great. I love it. I'm sorry for doubting you, Humph." She cuddled into his chest and he hugged her.

"It's okay. How can I be mad at my beautiful alpha?" She looked up to meet his eyes and they nuzzled each other lovingly. "Well, I guess we should go back to sleep." And at that moment, their pups began to cry which surprised them. "That's was unexpected."

Kate lied down next to her pups and gently nuzzled them, and slowly the cries died out, with Humphrey watching in amazement.

"Wow. You're a natural mother, Kate." And she giggled while blushing bright red under her fur.

"Thank you." She smiled, and an idea popped up in his mind.

"Why don't I tell them a story?"

"A story?" She questioned with an eyebrow raised as he sat on four feet close to her.

"Yeah, and you know what- or who's- story I'm gonna say." And her face lit up upon getting the hint.

"Oh. But, they aren't in the age to be able to hear it yet." She frowned.

"But they could hear me in their sleep." He winked and earning a chuckle from her.

"Alright then. I would like to listen to your way of telling stories anyway." And they both turned their attention towards their pups who were sleeping like beautiful angels, and Humphrey began his story.

"Once upon a time, there was a legendary wolf named Rex…"


My life's been pretty simple and pleasant since then, being free from pressure and stress and just spending my entire life with my beautiful mate in our paradise. I've been watching over my friends too, smiling upon them as they lived in a happy family and feeling relieved that my efforts were worth it. The Northern pack's been looking after the rose seeds very well, and now it has grown into a garden, and soon into a field which I- or we- will be looking forward to.

Both Northern and United packs called me a 'Hero', a title to indicate my nobleness for my pack and a warrior who would fight for his loved ones under any situation, and that I receive it honorably and happily. But if you think that by just simply calling yourself with that title will allow you to earn it, well, you're dead wrong. To be honest, a title is just representing your behavior and actions so you can be easily recognized by others, but what matters is who you are. A 'Hero' is a person who's willing to sacrifice anything to protect his loved ones and innocent people, and for justice.

Humphrey and Kate's lives are an example of the positive results of surviving a deadly drug or sickness, and mine's the negative. Lex was very lucky to not still be alive to suffer an eternal emotional pain after witnessing his mate, Rebecca being raped and killed, but Lucas wasn't, although he didn't witness his mate's rape. He had to live on with a painful emotion that took over him, and Lust was born. You may be wondering why do I persuaded Humphrey and Kate to give him a proper burial next to Katrina, and the answer is that I feel sympathy for him. Lucas was a good man, and would still be if his step-father didn't perform those actions or him returning to her den on time to stop him, so his mistakes can be forgiven.

I forgive him.


"When you lost someone you treasured and loved most, do not think you're lost in the darkness, for there is light all around you. Let it bath you in its pure light and embrace it."

Rex


"Some say love it is a river

That drowns the tender reed.

Some say love it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger

An endless, aching need

I say love it is a flower,

And you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken,

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying

That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long.

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love,

In the spring, becomes the rose."

-Westlife

P.S: I would like to give a shoutout to Frostbite-The-White-Night-Fury, an author whom my story has inspired and has written his own. It's a Lilly/Humphrey and Garth/Kate story, so go ahead and check it out and give him your suggestions on his first chapter. Also, what do you think about my first properly-written lemon? There aren't any violence or anything like that. Just love. ;D"

Yep. That's his note. Now, if you're wondering, "Hey Rex, what do you think about the lemon that LoverWolfs has written about you and Rose?", and the answer is, well, kinda *cheeks flushed bright red* embarassing, of course, and Rose felt the same too but we don't mind 'cause it's just a story. Hush! I'm not answering you if we've mated or not! *cheeks turned redder* Anyways, I'll be seeing you guys in the Q&A once LoverWolfs's back. Cya! -Rex

P.S: LoverWolfs told me to let you guys know that he'll be re-typing the first two chapters of this story to improve it once he's back, so take note of that. Also, PM him(this account) if he made any errors in this last chapter. Bye!
