Chapter 37: Hasty Decisions

Dakota's P.O.V

I seethed as my leg snapped back into place and everything around it healed. I forgot how painful it was when mom heals something on you. Faolan and I hardly slept last night, seeing as the storm kept blowing off the bark door and the screeching winds it just became a sleep deterrent, it was near impossible. We left at first light and we arrived to the open paws of our family. Mom was beyond relief I was fine, but disappointed that we didn't just jump home right away. I explained what had happened, that I simply went on a run around the mountain, but when I came to that perilous cliff there was a she-wolf hanging from it, but I saved her. When I woke up she had brought me to her pack that was going to have me killed, but as the Alpha's daughter, she wasn't going to let it happen and tried her hardest to convince him otherwise. Eventually, they let me go, but left me at the mercy of the storm, I was going to Jump home, but Faolan was there. Lastly, I told them that she was to be forced into a marriage, one she doesn't want to go through. She wants to get away; I could sense it on her. So I was going to rescue her, I was going to go back today and rescue her. But of course, being girls, and my sisters, they saw this another way.

They started snickering to themselves and saying how I had a liking to her, and that's the only reason that I wanted to go back. But they were my sisters; I knew they'd do this. I had no feelings towards the she-wolf; she was just a nice girl who doesn't deserve to go through with something like this. They kept muttering over and over again saying how I've got a girlfriend and that I'm in love. So I just ignored them. I had no feelings to the she-wolf, heck...I'd hardly call her a friend. She's more of an acquaintance really, someone I happened to run into.

With one final snap, the stinging sensation faded. Mom pulled away her paw and looked down at me as I rolled onto my front. "You shouldn't go." She said.

"You shouldn't get into others affairs; you above all should know that." Scott added.

"I can't let her go through with it." I replied. "She saved me twice, and I only did once, I have to repay the favour."

"Dakota's in love." Lupa snickered again with Myka soon joining her, but I once again just ignored her and rolled my eyes.

"Mom I have to go back for her, I can't leave behind."

"Does she know about you or any of us?" Scott asked.

"I told her that I have a family, that was it."

"A mate already?" Myka snickered. "That's not how you win a girl."

"No..." I growled, now getting a little annoyed. "Parents, siblings and your mates, that was all."

"So what are you going to do, bring her here?" Jack asked.

"I was, only until she's ok to have a life without her pack. She practically told me she hates it and wants to leave."

"Ok, we'll let you." Mom smiled. "I'll come with you."

"So will us." Lupa added nudging Faolan. "I can't wait to meet this girl." She added with a wink directed at me.

"Scott?" Mom asked.

"Actually, I was going to spend the day with Myka." She looked over at him puzzled.

"You were?" She asked.

"Some father daughter bonding, I was going to teach you to control you power." Her tail started wagging in excitement.

"Sounds great, I can't wait."

"When did you want to go?" Faolan asked.

"Like now, I want to get her back before she gets married and she told me soon so it could be today or in a week."

"Let's go then." Mom said taking hold of my paw. Lupa and Faolan did also as I focused on the border of their territory, a safe place to jump, we could walk the rest. We jumped, arriving where we were supposed to be.

Myka's P.O.V

Dad led me outside the temple shortly after mom, Lupa, Faolan and Dakota left to get that she-wolf back. Jack walked by my side, wanting to be with me in case he had to snap me out of it again, but really, Dad recommended he comes so he could see it for himself. "So where are we going?" I asked.

"Somewhere we won't be disturbed, somewhere that you can't hurt anyone that maybe passing through."

"Is that what you did?" Jack asked.

"Rosie and I found a large overlooking spot on a cliff we practised on. People never came into the Valley, so we could do whatever we wanted safely. When we harnessed it we did it anywhere. I remember when we started playing pranks with it on people in a town once." He chuckled.

"Do you remember practising?"

"Defiantly, is yours a fear response?" He asked,

"Yeah." I replied.

"Mine's fear and pain. Do you know how it works?" I shook my head. "Ok, Starnik 101." He chuckled. "Our powers are used from our memories, but the emotions in memories to be more specific. Sometimes a shock or sudden freight can trigger it instantly, but after a while you can learn to control it. When you want to use it, you think back to a memory that holds the most of whatever emotion you need and drain everything from it while pushing it out to whatever you want to move. What did Shadow teach you?"

"He showed me a vision thing, that I was being chased. When it was over, he used my fear of losing a sibling for me. He told me to picture a paw picking up a tree and I moved it a little."

"Did your nose bleed?"

"A little. It did a little after I brought Lupa and Dakota back."

"That's normal; mine did when I first learnt. You're just moving things that are too heavy for you. But it's still impressive; I could only move small rocks at first, whereas you if I remember and heard right threw a man out a window."

"I don't want to remember that." I sighed.

"But it's good to remember it, you feel pain at the memory, things that you need to remember for it to work. It's easier to remember a specific memory, then you won't need to rummage around for a different one every time."

"What's your memory?" Jack asked.

"Rosie and I met a pack once when we were just friends living in the Valley, one day they were all killed, even the pups who we found in a pool of their own blood." Jack and I gasped, so I nuzzled my father's neck. "I used that from then on. They were good friends. Before that when we first learnt to use them, your mother threw herself off a cliff and I caught her. I used that fearful memory of losing her before the Valley pack."

"So that was who all those wolves were in that spell."

"That was them; all those people and wolves were on the other side waiting for us when we died." He smiled. "But back to you dear, you say you only want to learn how to control it."

"I just think of it as a weapon, I don't want to be a weapon. I want to put the weapon on safety and keep it there."

"That's fine, but you should understand that it's not just for what you think, there's a lot of beauty behind it."

"Like what?" I asked.

"I'd have to show you." He replied.

"Then show me." I said as we stopped.

"I can't, my powers don't work when I'm like this."

"Then turn." I said.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

"You're my dad aren't you? I don't want you to be uncomfortable." I smiled letting him know it was ok. He returned it with one of his just as this green light engulfed him and glowed in his eyes. He pushed off the ground standing back on his hind legs as his body changed into the human, the only black fur being on his was his hair. He looked down at me and Jack with our jaws open agape, though this wasn't the first time, we really couldn't help but see the magic in him.

"Still not uncomfortable?" He asked.

"Nope." I replied closing my jaw.

"Good." He replied as he sat down crossing his legs in front of us and we sat opposite him. "Like I said, there is a lot of beauty in this power then you think. Sure it's offensive, but it can be used for other means. I've used it for attacking, burying and convincing."

"What do you mean convincing?" Jack asked. All he did was smile and take a clump of snow in his hand. Then we watched in amazement at what happened. The ball of snow flew out of his hands and his eyes changed colour, the same mine do when I say a spell or use my power. He really was my father. The snow looked like it was compacting itself into a tighter ball as if two hands were around it. It remained hovering in-between us and he picked up a second ball of snow, doing the same to it and letting it hover, and once again with a third. "I did something similar when I first met Michael, he didn't believe our powers were like his and tied to our emotions." He chuckled at our faces. The three balls started moving around in a circle in-between us, going up and down. Suddenly, they went soaring into the sky disappearing as they faded into the colour of the sky. But then we heard a kind of popping sound, a small bang, followed by tiny sprinkles of snow falling down around us. But then they all froze around us, as if time were standing still. But it wasn't, it was still him. I poked one of the flakes, seeing it then fall and merge back into the snow.

"It's beautiful." I whispered quietly.

"It's still used by the memory; you just need to find the memory that means the most to you. While focusing on that memory, picutre what you want the object to do and make it happen." He said as they all started falling as if it was snowing around us again. His eyes returned to their ice blue. "Now think, what memory could you use for it?" I looked down to the ground deep in thought and rummaging through my memories, hunting for something.

"I think I got something." I said.

"Good, now see this stick?" He said picking one up. "I want you to pick it off my hand."

"Just like that?" I asked.

"Do what Shadow and Sarah taught you, picture the paw, think of the memory. The way I learnt to do it was to picture what you want it to do in your mind's eye. Then throw that energy out and do it. Don't try, just do it. You can do it their way, or you can try mine." I thought I'd give his a try.

"So picture doing it, then do it?" I asked.

"That's it, give it a try, but don't try, do." He said. So I narrowed my eyes, looking directly at the stick. "Picture lifting the stick up and few inches, don't do it yet, just picture it rising out my hand. Then throw the picture out and do it." I repeated quietly again to myself. My eyes narrowed further as the stick started to vibrate and shake a little in his hand. I pictured it rising out his hand, slowly getting higher, and like he said, I threw that picture out of my mind and towards the stick. It stopped shaking, and rose out his hand an inch, not going any higher. I didn't take my eyes off it, but I saw his hand came back down and away, showing he wasn't doing it. "That's it, keep it up." He said with a smile. It was harder then it looks, but i managed to keep it there, slowly picturing it spiralling, which then it did. I smiled a little, seeing dad's face showed him even larger. "Now slowly put it down, do the same, picturing it slowly falling and resting on the ground." It stopped spinning and levitated at a horizontal level, at least dad had the common sense to start of with something small and light, something that I wouldn't hurt someone with, whereas Shadow chose an entire tree. The stick started to fall, and when it was just above the ground, I broke the connection and just let it drop. I started breathing heavily, realising I wasn't breathing much throughout that. "Good job. Now do it again."

"Already?" I asked.

"Once you understand how to use it, it's good to do it again straight away. The more you practise the better." I nodded as he picked up the stick. But this time, he suddenly threw it in the air, good and high. "Catch it before it hits the ground." He said quickly. I looked back up to it, seeing it quickly falling back towards us. I visualised it stopping, as if once again that time around us had frozen. Suddenly, the stick froze right before hitting me in the face, like as if it had landed on something right above me. "That's my girl." Dad said quietly. I moved it over to him and he took it out of the air, and I lowered my focus. "What were you thinking of?" He then asked.

"The day I found out I was adopted." His smile faded into that of sympathy. "I was in pain because I knew my parents were dead and I was scared because it was the day I found Karl, Lexi and Tony had been lying to me. I had been calling them mom and dad for three months when really they weren't."

"They were your parents, they were just as good as anyone else." He said stroking my cheek. "It's a good memory; you should keep using that one unless you think of something else." He added while standing up. "I think your ready."

"Ready for what?" I asked as Jack and me stood up.

"Remember yesterday night when you asked me to teach you how to jump like that?" My tail started wagging again, that was the whole reason in came out here again.

"We're going to do it?"

"Not quiet, I'm going to teach you how to move people. Once you can do that, it's easier to move yourself. Remember you can't fly and you have to trust yourself that you can stop yourself, I don't want to see you get hurt." He said.

"I'll be fine." I smiled.

"Ok, jump up." He said patting his chest. I looked at him puzzled and then at Jack who looked just as confused as he sat back down to watch. I looked back up to him and he just patted his chest again, so I jumped up on his and stood on my hind legs using him as support. "Uncomfortable yet?" He asked.

"Not really, it's weird, but I need to get used to it. What are we doing?"

"You're doing to lift me and I'm going to lift you."

"What?" I exclaimed confused and shock.

"You need to strain yourself and try new things if you want to get better. Otherwise you won't get any better."

"Oh, ok." I replied nervously. "Have you done this before?"

"Nope." He chuckled. I couldn't see how this was fun for him, I was terrified, how was this going to be fun. "Ok, do what you did to the stick, just on me, don't worry about you." I nervously gulped and nodded quickly. But I had to get over my nervous, for his eyes were already changing, I set to work thinking back to the memory and picking every piece of emotion from it as is it were a bone with scraps of meat on it. I didn't take my eyes off his and his smile, but I could see behind him the background moving. We remained in this way for a moment longer until he looked down and I followed his gaze. We were actually flying, so what if we were only a few inches off the ground, we were flying! Before long, we were slowly revolving, I wasn't doing it, he was to me, but because he had a hold of me, he went with it. "Close your eyes." He said closing his, so I did. "Feel everything around you, the wind, the air, the trees, the snow, feel it all." I sighed, I was in serenity. I felt weightless; literally, I was at one with myself. I opened my eyes and looked down to Jack who was looking up at us with a grin and a loose jaw. I looked back down at the revolving floor and at my paws and tail, dangling. It was like I was on wires or something, but I couldn't feel the harness. This was magic at its best. He was holding me up and I was to him, we had control over the other. "Wanna go higher?" He asked, making my eyes widen.

"Maybe another time, this is the first time I've done this."

"Not afraid of heights are you?" He chuckled.

"No, I'm just worried if we fall."

"I've got you." He said pulling me closer to him and not letting go. "I'm never letting you go again."

"And I've got you, literally." I said laying my head on his chest. I felt him look over me, and towards jack right before he asked.

"So, married huh?"

"Yeah, sorry but Karl gave me away."

"I couldn't think of a better person." He chuckled. "Is he good to you?"

"Very." I giggled.

"In both ways huh?"

"Oh yeah, defiantly."

"My little girl's all grown up."

"I'll still be your little girl dad."

"Say that again, I just want to hear it." He sighed and pulling tighter.

"I'll always be you little girl dad." I felt something land on my head, and when I pulled away he had a tear running down his face. I licked it away. But then I saw something that maybe he never though of. "How are we going to get down?"

Dakota's P.O.V

We appeared where I thought the boundaries of that pack's territory was, I was correct, for it smelt like they had re-scented the border this morning. But we didn't care, we ran over the line, following our noses and where I remember coming from. We started to hear voices after fifteen minutes of running, so we slowed our pace and listened in to a conversation going on, on the other side if a hedge. I recognised the voice; it was Chance's father, the Alpha, talking with some other wolf. We overheard everything about their conversation, even hearing some new. This wolf pack had a different marriage ceremony to the one I knew of. They'd mate afterwards, all wolves do that to seal the deal and call themselves mates, but they had a different ceremony, it was their "tradition" we kept hearing.

The way it sounded like it worked was that they'd exchange vows and oaths, much like the normal way but to show commitment and affection to the other, they'd take in the others scent and the marriage is sealed with a nose rub, signifying they couldn't back out of mating now. But why were they talking about it now? It didn't take a genius to figure out that the marriage was today, and soon by the sounds of it. After they left, I went to run out the bush to find Chance, but I was grabbed and pulled back by mom, as she said to wait for the right time, running out would only make them attack and hide Chance. So we waited.

Two hours we sat behind this hedge, slowly a crowd started to gather outside the snowy clearing looking up at that ginger wolf, the groom sat on that small cliff just outside the Alpha's den. All eyes were on him and there was a silence that sent a shiver down our spines. Then I saw her.

Chance came walking out; her strange lilac eyes glowed and reflected off the sun, her fur perfectly brushed back and a purple flower resting on her white ear, trying to match her eyes. I will admit, she was beautiful; any guy would have to be insane to not marry her. Sadly, she was marrying an asshole, someone she doesn't want to marry. She didn't have the nervous and excited expression on her face; it was one of guilt and pain. She really didn't want to go through with this, and she wasn't going to. "What are we going to do?" Lupa asked.

"Well you ruined my plan; I don't know what to do now." I said just before the Alpha spoke.

"I have to amazing pleasure of giving my daughter away to this perfect wolf, one I raised and watched grow up to be this splendid young wolf we have before us now." The crowed erupted in howls and cheers; Chance just looked down to her paws.

"She really doesn't want to do this." Mom said feeling sympathetic."

"See why we have to help her? She helped me, I have to help her." I said as the Alpha continued.

"We are gathered to witness my daughter, Chance, and my soon to be son, Jasper, be wed, do you both wish to proceed?"

"I do." Jasper said confidently.

"I do." Chance sighed, he was the only one who wanted this, no-one else seemed to care. Where was her mother? Surely she wouldn't want this to happen.

"Then we shall begin, Jasper, would you like to start?"

"Chance, I'm the luckiest wolf in the world, when your father brought me home, I fell in love with you at first sight, I'm so thankful to both of you for doing this." Jasper said. He was putting in an act; he didn't mean any of his words, he was a liar. I could see it from his perspective; he just wanted something to do in his spare time, a whore for himself. And something told me she knew that. Still, I think I was the only wolf here that could see what he was really planning.

"Jasper, I'm so happy we're getting married, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." She forced herself to say and flashing him a weak smile.

"The vows have been exchanged, now for the oaths." Her father continued. What kind of a father was he? "Do you both promise to look after one another in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, till the day you die?"

"We do." He said confidently at the same time she muttered it under her breath.

"We have to do something soon." I said frantically.

"Take in the other's scent." He said stepping back as the soon to be couple arose to their paws and bent around the others neck to take in their scents. That was over in a moment, seeing as neither of them wanted to do it and wanted to get it done as soon as possible. They both pulled back and looked at one another. "Now to seal the deal, you may rub noses." He leaned in quickly, and she closed in slowly as a tear fell down her cheek, I could see it glisten in the sun from here. I had to do something, seeing that tear made me react. I threw my paw out at him and conjured him to the side of her, at the same time, I swapped places with him, by jumping and meeting with her nose. The crow erupting in howls, and cheers, but then they fell silent and into confused murmurs when they saw me and not him. I couldn't believe what I just did, I just got married! She opened her eyes while her nose was still touching mine. She pulled away quickly, seeing it as me.

"You?" She gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"I said I was going to get you out of here, I've come back for you." I looked back at the others peeking through the bushes, all with jaws hanging wide open. I'd be just like them if I had watched, I just got married!

"How did you get there?" She gasped.

"Long story, but we've got to go."

"You!" Her father snarled as the rest of the pack started as well. "We let you leave, but you return, how stupid must you be?" I looked behind me to see Jasper walking around as if getting ready to jump me.

"I wouldn't let you marry your daughter to him by force!" I said standing my ground and in front of her protectively. "She has a right to who she marries."

"That is not your decision to make!" He barked. "I'm her father, I decide who she marries."

"And she just married me." I never thought I'd say that for a while.

"It can be undone." He replied. "It will be undone. Chance, renounce your love for him now!" He ordered. I looked back at her, not saying or doing anything, her eyes were that of confusion and bewilderment, she didn't know what was going on. I still stand by to what I said. I wasn't going to force her to marry me, she had a choice. It was either me or him. But then she understood what I had done and why I did it.

"No." She answered still looking at me, I smiled.

"What?" He asked, sounding in shock as well. "What did you say?"

"I said no." She repeated. "I'm not marrying Jasper." The crowd gasped, and I saw the others start coming out the bushes.

"Chance, stop this." He said looking at the crowd with an awkward and embarrassed expression.

"No dad, I don't love Jasper and he doesn't love me. It's not up to you who I marry, it's up to me, and I choose him."

"A tame wolf?!" He spat.

"He's not tame." She snarled at him, taking him by surprise once again. "He's my mate now; I will not take it back. And by pack law and our tradition, we are married and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Only we can stop it and we won't." He stared at her with widened eyes, unable to believe the ferocity coming from her. It was obviously something he never saw in her, whereas I didn't know.

"She has spoken sir, we'll be leaving now." I said coldly.

"What are you?" He spat.

"My son!" Mom called out as the crowd spilt in two and started snarling at them. "They've both spoken."

"Who do you think you are?" He snarled again. The wind around us started to pick up, blowing our fur and the leaves around us as well as flakes of snow.

"Come with me." I said as we ran around Jasper and the crowd to my family. "Get behind us." She nodded and did just that as I stood at the front of the crowd.

"You can't take her away from me!" Jasper barked as he and the Alpha stepped down and to the front of the entire pack. "Her paw is mine to be wed to." The wind still increased in speed, I knew this was mom, as she had her head down so no-one saw her eyes.

"She's spoken." I replied. "She doesn't love you."

"She doesn't love you!" The Alpha yelled across.

"I know, but at least she's not with a cringing, sick, pathetic loser like you." Suddenly, Jasper ran across the gap between us and launched himself at me. But he didn't hit me; Faolan jumped and took him down, pinning him on his side. But he kicked out, catching his side with all his claws and cutting him badly. He kicked Faolan off, leaving him bleeding on the spot. "Don't help them Chance, come back here now or that will happen again." He said as we all ran over to him. He clasped his side and seethed, while Lupa was trying to stop the bleeding and muttering to him that he'll be fine. Chance didn't move, she didn't know what to do.

"Come on." I side helping him up. "We're out of here." We walked back to Chance and passed her. "Come on, you're safe now." I said to her as Faolan leaned against my side and using his other paw to slow the bleeding.

"Chance if you go with them, you are no longer my daughter." Her father said before she turned to walk with us.

"My father would never make me do that." She replied as she turned to walk with us and back into the trees.

We needed to get away from here, fast, so we walked as fast as Faolan could handle. We walked a little distance before I noticed Chance came right to my side and smiled as I did back to her. But then she hit my shoulder, hard, enough to make me yelp. "Why did you come back?! Why? I was happy to do it!"

"Mom, take him." I said, so she came over and took Faolan's other side. "I couldn't leave you; I said I was going to come back, now we're even."

"But by marrying me?" She exclaimed.

"I knew you liked her." Lupa said back.

"Shut up!" I yelled at her. "Listen, I had to repay you for what you did to me, so I came to rescue you."

"You shouldn't have, I was willing to do it."

"No you weren't, I knew you weren't, neither of you meant those words."

"How did you swap places with him?" She demanded, this was starting to turn into a full on argument.

"I pushed him out the way; if you married me then no-one could say anything against it."

"You're stupid." She sighed.

"Maybe, but in this family we always keep our promises. I promised to come back for you and I meant it."

"Still...by marrying me?" She exclaimed.

"I couldn't think of anything else, they ruined my plan, so it was the first thing to come to mind. We can always undo it when we get home."

"You're taking me home with you?"

"Well you can't stay here; they'll just come back for you." Just then, Faolan collapsed and yelped in pain.

"Dakota we've got to get him home quickly." Lupa said now getting worried.

"Hey what happened to your leg?" Chance asked, I never thought about that.

"Fast healer." I replied simply.

"No, I don't believe you, you're hiding something. You broke your leg; no-one can heal something like that in a day." She said scowling at me.

"I'll tell you some other time; we need to get him out of here." I said helping back to his paws. But then I felt something against my own, like an earthquake. We all felt it. Suddenly, it hit us, we spun around, seeing multiple blobs and things moving around and towards us, the pack was after us.

"They're coming, run!" Chance yelled taking off to the left.

"Where are you going?" Mom called out as we ran after her, but slower seeing as we had Faolan.

"They won't come out the territory, this way is quicker." She yelled back. We had to believe her, so we followed her through the trees, running as fast as we could. Faolan started to get dizzy losing his head and footing several times with Lupa becoming increasingly worried and concerned. We didn't want Chance to know about us, but the way things are going it may end up that way, we may have to tell her, plus she won't stop until we do. Ten minutes later, the pack was right behind us, all forty of them snarling and barking at us as they gained. "We made it." She said as she came to a steady stop, I smelt it was different around here, we had crossed the border, and she was right, they all came sliding to a stop when reaching that imaginary line. They continued to snarl and bark at us as we walked away.

An hour after walking, Faolan was only getting worse when suddenly he fell to the ground. He had his eyes open, but he was fading fast. "Faolan keep your eyes open, you'll be fine, you hear me. Mom you need to do something." Lupa pleaded.

"Let me look at him." Chance said sitting beside his wound. "Keep pressure." She said pushing down on his paw. She did that weird thing where she just stared at it, like yesterday when she just stared at my leg; coming to the conclusion it was broken. But this time she was doing it to him, just staring at the wound, narrowing her eyes every now and then. Mom, Lupa and I shared a crazed look before she reeled back shaking her head. "He's going to rupture his spleen if he keeps moving, he needs serious help or he'll die." She said as she ran to a tree and using a claw quickly ripped out a good size piece of bark and putting it over the wound and finding heaps of longs blades of grass and after tying them together started securing it around his body. Of course this took time, so all we could do was marvel at her healing knowledge.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"You're not the only one with a gift." She replied looking up at me with the corner of her eyes. She's knows I have a gift? "This will stop it for a moment, but he still needs urgent healing or he will die. How much further is your home?"

"Like I said, on the other side of the mountain." I replied studying her.

"He won't make it that far." She sighed looking back down to him with sorrow.

"What do you mean not the only one with gifts?" Mom asked.

"I can see through things, I can see through rocks, trees, walls, boulders, even wolves and humans. I can see his spleen ready to burst if he doesn't get help." She said.

"You're a supernatural?" I gasped.

"A what?" She asked,

"A wolf with powers." It seemed to register with her. Oh my god, she's was a supernatural, one of the extremely rare wolves with powers.

"I'm a freak, that's why my father offered me to Jasper, seeing as he knew no-one else would want me. That's why my eyes are this colour."

"You're not a freak, believe me."

"You have no idea what this is like." She barked. Mom saw that she was one of us, seeing that she could see this. She broke the secure strap and placing her paws over the wound quickly. "What are you doing, he'll die if you take that off." We all saw her paws glowing from underneath, making Chance's jaw drop as the blood seeped back into the wound. The blood that fell into the snow around him sucked back up, up his body and back into the wound before it sealed shut and healing everything inside him. Faolan seethed and groaned throughout the entire ordeal

"You're not the only one dear." Mom said calmly. "We know how you feel, you're not a freak."

"What the hell was that?" She gasped with a loose jaw and wide eyes.

"We'll explain on the way." Lupa said helping Faolan back to his feet.

"Damn that stung." Faolan seethed.

"It will, are you ok?" Mom asked.

"Thanks to you."

"You're family now son, we look after our family."

"Will someone explain what's going on because I'm freaking out?!" Chance screamed.

Oh dear, looks like their secrets out. But woah Dakota, i thought i made Rosie and Shadow's relationship fast with her being pregnant after six months, but marrying someone only knowing them after a day, massive, hasty decision. What happens now? I guess they annul the marriage i guess. But read on to have this confirmed. Until tonight guys. :)
