Kyuubi woke feeling a dull ache within his body. Nothing too difficult to deal with, just enough to know that his body had finished healing and that he should get mobile to stretch his muscles out. He lay on the bed for several minutes, just listening to the sounds of the morning around him. The chirping of the morning birds outside, though his eyes were closed he could tell the sun was up and there was the smell of freshly brewed coffee invading his senses. Deciding to no longer delay the inevitable, he moved slowly, making it known that he was waking before opening his eyes.

"Good morning Kyuubi," a voice broke through the morning air, and Kyuubi recognized it as Kakashi. Kyuubi grunted out a response as he slid to the side of the bed, stretching out his fingers, toes and back. "Coffee's on. Got food coming too." Again Kyuubi just grunted. Not saying anything, he made his way straight to the hotel room's bathroom, closing and locking the door behind him.

As he stood below the running water, making it as scalding as he could, his mind went over the events of the night before. The prickle behind his eyes, the lump in his throat, had him squinting to hold back the tears that threatened to fall, and swallowing at the lump to stop the sobs from escaping. He bit into the back of his hand, the self inflicting pain helping him to overcome the realization of last night's information. But his mind wouldn't stop going over the why, how come and the complete feelings of loss and failure. His wolf howled out in agony, the pain ripping through his heart at the feeling of loss of the sweet omega Kimimaro. His mind also provided thick guilt at the loss of his friends, Nagato and Konan. 'All my fault,' Kyuubi's mind replayed over and over.

Stepping back out into the room in his jeans from the night before, his nose was assaulted by several breakfast scents that normally had Kyuubi salivating all over. But this morning, his stomach only churned in nausea, the interest in food was not there, only the heaviness of guilt.

"Come, Kyuubi, eat. I'm sure you have lots of questions," Kakashi's voice broke the silence of the room.

Kyuubi glanced an eye at the gray haired man, then continued to pass him by, back to the bed to finish drying his hair.

Kakashi lifted a brow at the wolf but didn't move from his seat. 'Hmm, something's up, but what?' "I'm pleased to report that the raid was a success. The information we had confiscated, the footage on video thanks to the cams on our team members and several arrests were made, including Danzo, we have enough evidence to bring forward to the council. The hope is to have a serious inquiry completed on several council members and have any illegal trafficking and auctions come to a complete halt." Kakashi tapped his fingers on the edge of his coffee cup, watching the red haired wolf from across the room.

Kyuubi just sat on the edge of his bed, slouched over, his hands cupped together, elbows resting on his knees not giving any indication that he was listening.

"Kyuubi?" Kakashi called out after time had passed and Kyuubi still did not give any type of response after Kakashi had explained what had gone down the night before. "Kyuubi, what has happened?" Kakashi knew this type of behaviour, having been witness to many traumatized wolves and suffering through his own losses throughout his life. He recognized the the sorrow practically emanating from the young alpha.

"It doesn't matter now," Kyuubi whispered.

Kakashi could hear the hurt in his voice. "It matters to you, and that's what is important," Kakashi comforted. Kyuubi said nothing in response. "You were pretty adamant about wanting to know about the fire last night," Kakashi prompted, recalling the outburst Kyuubi had. He heard Kyuubi whimper slightly and saw his shoulders tense. "Was there someone in that bar you mentioned?"

"It doesn't fucking matter so shut the fuck up!" Kyuubi suddenly growled out. "I'm leaving." Kyuubi threw the wet towel on the bed and grabbed his shirt that he was wearing last night. He needed to get back to his apartment and leave. There was nothing for him here now.

"Kyuubi wait," Kakashi pleaded as he stood from his chair. Kyuubi continued to ignore him as he slipped on his shirt and socks. Kakashi pinched his lips together in thought. 'He needs time.' "You have my number right? Check in with me periodically, in case we need you as a witness. We believe nobody knows who you really are and would like to keep it that way for now. This way, it's safer." Kyuubi hesitated putting a sock on for a fraction and Kakashi knew that Kyuubi had his number. He was grateful for what Kyuubi had done.

"Keep in touch. I know a certain brother pack member would appreciate that for sure," Kakashi called out as Kyuubi made his way out the hotel room and didn't look back. But Kakashi knew Kyuubi had heard him. "Be safe," Kakashi whispered to the empty room.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

"Come stay with me until your brother gets back Sasuke," Naruto suggested to the omega, who was leaning against the kitchen counter in his home. "You know Itachi will text you as soon as they get back." Naruto moved up behind the dark haired omega, wrapping his arms around his torso and dipping his nose into the back of Sasuke's neck. Inhaling deeply, the alpha purred loudly and Naruto couldn't help but give a lick along the skin. His alpha was delighted when it felt the omega shiver and Naruto saw the goosebumps rise. "I'd rather you not stay here alone."

Sasuke shivered at the attention the alpha gave him. His omega basked in the attention and released a calming sensation. Sasuke knew that staying with Naruto was probably the best idea. Itachi would not hesitate to return his text or call when he returned.

"Okay," he huffed out, tilting his head slightly, allowing the blond alpha more access to his neck. "But we are going to the club tonight to check on things," he added. Being co-owner of the business, he needed to ensure things were running on par while his brother was away. It made sense when owning a business. The arms around him tightened slightly when he felt the hum of agreement going through Naruto's lips onto his neck. Sasuke's lip curled up slightly into a smile feeling the warm hands exploring his chest and warm lips peppering kisses on his neck. "Naru-to," he groaned out, feeling the heat flowing around and pooling directly into his lower region.

"Hmm?" Naruto purred out as he licked the shell of Sasuke's ear.

Sasuke trembled slightly, feeling the warm hot breath brush into his ear. He gripped the side of the countertop as his knees threatened to give out on him. "W-we should g-get going," Sasuke breathed out, but he didn't mean it.

Naruto's fingers splayed out on Sasuke's chest and directed the omega to turn around, which Sasuke willingly did. Glossy dark orbs looked up slightly to Naruto's eyes and the alpha's primal instincts flared up at seeing the excited omega. Naruto shifted his legs slightly as his now hard cock painfully constricted against his underwear. Tan fingers cupped the omega's cheek and his thumb gently rubbed against the marble skin. The alpha deeply growled when the omega leaned into the touch, eyes gently closing and the omega hummed an acceptance. Naruto pushed his body against Sasuke, feeling the fire rising between them, before dipping his lips onto Sasuke's peach ones.

Sasuke threaded his fingers through blond thick locks, pulling the alpha in closer as his tongue invaded the hot cavern of the alpha. The growl from the alpha spurred Sasuke's desire to take the alpha where he stood. His claws extracted slightly as he pulled on the blond locks that caused the alpha to huff out. He wrapped one leg around Naruto, pulling him closer to his groin, feeling the alpha's rock hard bulge push against his own, in turn making him take in a sudden breath through his nose. It wasn't enough, his omega senses demanded more!

Naruto wavered at the overwhelming need he felt coming from Sasuke. He quickly grabbed Sasuke's ass and lifted him onto the counter, their lips not stopping their assault on the other. Naruto rubbed his confined bulge against Sasuke, inhaled the lustful moans that came from Sasuke's lips and hissed in pleasure feeling the omega's equally hard cock.

Sasuke's head fell back with a lust filled moan, hitting the cupboard doors, when his painful hardon ground against the alpha's. Flashes of colours happened behind his closed eyes as he let the endorphins flow through him, his inner omega rubbing on all pleasure areas and he could feel the heat growing in his entrance. "Nngh, f-fuck Naru…" Sasuke panted out when Naruto began to run his hands under Sasuke's shirt, his fingers twisting his hard nubs. Hands still threaded in blond locks, Sasuke pushed the alpha's head down towards his heated groin, his silent move understood immediately of what the intent was. The alpha growled out in agreement at the lust induced abuse from the omega and lowered his head to the pronounced outlined cock behind Sasuke's slacks. Half lidded orange yellow eyes looked up at Sasuke briefly, before the alpha mouthed the area causing Sasuke to grab the counter with one hand quickly. The sensations were making him dizzy with lust and need, and he shifted his hips into the alphas face showing his impatience.

Naruto grinned inwardly at his omega's impatience and bit down on the bulge as punishment. The omega hissed out, red lust blown eyes glared down at him and Naruto's alpha sneered in amusement. Naruto's fingers quickly worked on Sasuke's slacks, Sasuke lifting his hips slightly so Naruto could bring them down just past his ass. The omega's cock sprung free, and Naruto wasted no hesitation bringing his lips to the head, his tongue dipping into the slit to taste his omega's essence.

Sasuke hissed through his teeth, suppressing a moan when the alpha's mouth encased his swollen cock head. His head fell back with a loud thump when it hit the cupboard. All his fingers now grasped the edge of the counter, as he fought against losing control.

"Tell me what you want my omega," Naruto's thick deep sultry voice hummed out as he lapped at the swollen cock. He could sense Sasuke's restraint and his desire heightened at the thought of Sasuke's hidden sexual wants.

"Nghh…" Sasuke grunted out, his teeth biting down on his bottom lip, stopping himself from releasing any words.

Naruto growled deeply now and dragged his bottom teeth slowly up the swollen omega girth, his hands squeezing Sasuke's thighs hard enough to leave fingerprint bruises. "Tell me now!" his authoritative voice demanded. His orange yellow eyes glowed and glared up at the omega. The thirst of wanting this omega melting into sexual bliss washed through the alpha like a tsunami.

Sasuke whimpered out at the onslaught of pleasurable pain that the alpha applied on his sexually charged body. "I-I…" he panted out as Naruto continued to scratch his teeth on his sensitive head, drag his claws along his inner thighs. "F-fuckkkk… I want-want," he stuttered.

"Sasuke," Naruto warned through his bites.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hair in both hands, fisting his hair in his fists tight and pulled back the alpha's head away from his now hypersensitive cock. He clenched his teeth hard together and his eyes glared, glowing blood red down at the alpha who's orange yellowish eyes were lust blown. "I wanna skull fuck your face-hard-till you are choking and gagging on my thick cock and milk!"

Naruto's orange yellowish glare narrowed for a moment until his lips curled up into a sneer. "Do it." The throaty growl purred out and the alpha shuddered throughout his body at the authoritative sexual lusted demand from the black haired omega. He opened his mouth wide and gave the omega a 'I dare you' look.

Sasuke roared out a throaty growl at the response and pulled the blond head back towards his swollen member, brutally, fast and without haste. Keeping his feet flat on the cupboards below the counter, he steadied his body as he face fucked the blond's mouth, not holding back. His fists held the blond hair fast, pulling that alpha mouth onto his cock over and over. Sasuke felt feral as he heard the alpha choke when he rammed his cock into the back of his throat, but those lust blown eyes never strayed from his face. Sasuke let out a snarl as he pulled on Naruto's head hard, holding his face in his nest of pubes, and savoring the gagging noises coming from the alpha. He smirked out a growl when he saw the tears leaking from the corners of the alpha's eyes, while he struggled to swallow around the thick omega cock rammed into the back of his throat.

Sasuke felt powerful and dominant as he pulled back the blond's head only to slam it back on his cock. Sasuke kept a firm grip on the blond hair, forcing the alpha's heated mouth over his cock over and over. His head fell back against the cupboards when his heavy sack suddenly tightened up. Sasuke howled out when he felt his toes curl and his back arch involuntary at the sudden intrusion of pleasure he felt in his heated opening. His orgasm burst. His hips thrusted into the heat while he forced the apha's mouth onto his full girth, then held the alpha's head still as his cock pulsed out wads of thick cum.

"Nuh-uh-uh-uh!," Sasuke breathed out with each shot, feeling his cock pulsate into the heated mouth. His hips jerked uncontrollably as he forced the blond head steady and his body spasmed at the intensity of the orgasm. The colours that blew behind his closed eyes blasted with each jizz shot that went off, his breathing staggered out as he allowed himself to be swallowed up with each endorphin induced wave. "Uh! Uh! Uhhh...fu-fu-fuck…" Sasuke's words stuttered out at each muscle spasm.

Feeling the blond swallow and hearing him to gag around his cock, the omega released his vice grip on Naruto's hair and began to stroke the alpha's head softly. His eyes were still closed while his head leaned back on the cupboards, breaths panting out quick, his legs dangled from the counter since his feet lost their footing. Sasuke's breathing still hiccuped breathy grunts while the aftershocks of his orgasm lingered within him.

Naruto moved his head back slowly, his lips still suckling Sasuke's softening member as he pulled back and his hand stroked at his painful rock hard member that he had slipped out through his button fly. His orange yellowish eyes stared directly up at the sexually spent, most beautiful omega he had ever witnessed. Naruto's alpha growled with delight at seeing the sheen of sweat on Sasuke's face, the red flushed cheeks and nose, the loose peach full lips parted slightly open as the omega panted out trying to catch his breath.

Naruto then stood to his feet, brought his two fingers to his lips and suckled at the clear substance that coated them. His fingers had probed Sasuke's opening that was producing slick (as omega's do) while the omega was pounding into his face. His eyes rolled back from tasting the slick on his lips, the taste and scent of Sasuke made his cock pulse harder.

Naruto brought the back of his other hand up to wipe the drips of cum and saliva that escaped his mouth while his omega, his fucking hot amazing omega, lost in a sex lust while fucking his mouth with such dominance that he nearly popped his load from how fucking turned on it made him and his inner alpha. His eyes glowed with such a heated desire to devour this omega before him, he stroked his cock langidly while wildfire heat had spread throughout his body, every sexual sensation fucking burned through his pores that had Naruto fisting the front of Sasuke's shirt and crash his lips onto Sasuke's.

His teeth clashed with Sasuke's, but he paid it of no mind while his tongue twisted and thrusted, demanding the submission of the other. The alpha snarled out through his breath when the omega gasped at the sudden thrust of dominance forced upon him but quickly complied with the demand and released a heedy moan of want.

"F-fuck Sas," Naruto breathed out quickly while suckling at Sasuke's tongue. "You have-no-fucking idea-how hot that was," Naruto sputtered out the words between each lick, suckle and bite on Sasuke's mouth. He pressed his painfully hard cock against Sasuke's smaller member to show exactly how turned on he was and the omega whimpered at the sensation. "Want-you-so fucking bad!" Naruto grabbed the back of Sasuke's head to force the omega to tilt his head. He dipped his nose into the neck, inhaled deeply and then bit down, hard, on the mark he had left on his omega mate.

Sasuke cried out and shook as sexual sensations shot through his body through the mark, his fists grabbing hold of Naruto's jacket to keep him grounded. "Ah fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Sasuke chanted out as Naruto pushed and ground his cock against his own, while the alpha's teeth held fast to the mark on his neck.

Deep growls rumbled through Naruto's throat as he ground his cock with Sasuke's, his bite keeping the omega in one place. His hands were pushed against the cupboards on either side of Sasuke's head as his hips snapped back and forth against the omega. His wild ruts were fierce, pushing Sasuke's body repeatedly against the kitchen cupboards, causing thumps to echo through the kitchen but neither heard over Sasuke's throaty sexual cries.

Naruto moved his arms suddenly, one arm pulling at Sasuke's lower back, the other fisting dark locks of hair and the alpha crushed the omega against him. He continued to bite on the omega's neck as his hips began to thrust wildly, growls panting out with each breath.

Sasuke squeezed his arm between him and Naruto, finding their swollen members and squeezing them together with his hand. The added friction felt as if his body was electrified ten fold. The alpha growled out with a whine as he banged harder when he felt Sasuke's hand. There was no warning and Sasuke saw white.

The euphoria racing through Sasuke's veins had practically made his body jelly. The shivers and jolts of electricity hummed through him constantly as he felt the alpha's cock pump shots of cum on his hand and body within seconds after he did. The alpha's erratic thrusts became slower and slower, the alpha's heavy breathing blew across his neck but his bite was still solid. Sasuke couldn't move but the alpha finally slowed to a halt, Naruto's face was still buried in his neck and Sasuke tested his fingers before finally releasing their two members between him. Panting himself, he wiggled his head slightly and felt Naruto finally release his teeth from his neck. Sasuke shivered as he felt Naruto tongue the area softly.

With a final grunt, Naruto slowly pushed himself away from Sasuke's body, releasing the omega and crystal blues came into focus. "F-fuck Sas, I-I-" he started out. His body was shaking uncontrollably as his hands gripped Sasuke's shoulders lightly and he was riddled with overwhelming guilt. He had just lost control, his alpha taking over with its primal desires to claim the omega and Naruto felt lucky that he hadn't taken the omega by force. "I'm s-s-orry Sas...I-I…" he started again.

Sasuke looked up, shocked at the sudden confession from the alpha. 'What?' he thought. The alpha's eyes were filled with sorrow, sadness and Naruto dropped his head quickly from Sasuke's site. Sasuke could feel the alpha trembling all over as he stood before him, Sasuke still sitting on the counter top. Sasuke cupped the alpha's chin and forced the blond to look up at him. Sasuke's heart clenched at seeing Naruto's watery eyes.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke whispered out, his thumb rubbing on the scarred cheeks.

"I-I lost control," Naruto stuttered out and he bit his bottom lip to stop a sob. His eyes glanced over at the now angry red swollen bite mark, dots of blood on the area and Naruto's guilt only intensified. He tried to look away again, dropping his hands off of Sasuke. He needed to get away, he didn't know why, but the rush of guilt prodded at his morals.

Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto's shoulders, halting the alpha from turning away. "Naru." The alpha didn't look up at him, his blond locks covering his eyes as he looked down. "Naruto, stop and look at me," Sasuke demanded. "You did nothing wrong, how could you-"

"I practically raped you!" Naurto spat out as he whipped his face up to look at Sasuke. "I-I lost control! Don't you understand!" Naruto clenched his jaw, trying to play the authoritative card, but his trembling lip gave away what emotions he was struggling to hide. His fists clenched tight at his hips and his eyes flickered about Sasuke's face, refusing to look Sasuke in the eye. "It-it shouldn't have happened like that…" he whispered out angrily.

Sasuke grabbed the alpha's face, holding it steady so those blue eyes focused on his. "Stop thinking like that you dobe." Sasuke's voice was firm. "Why don't you ask how I felt before you start spouting." Blue eyes widened slightly at the comment. Sasuke smirked at him before pulling Naruto in for a heated kiss. He traced his tongue all around the alpha's lips, suckled on the bottom lip before latching his lips onto the other. He moaned with excitement as the alpha responded with vigor. As his hands twirled blond locks between his fingers, he wrestled Naruto's tongue and caught it between his lips and suckled. He inwardly grinned when the alpha moaned out while Sasuke suckled his tongue. Sasuke was the first to pull back, lightly panting and pushed his forehead against Naruto's. "Now, what were you saying about going back to your place?" He didn't miss the soft smile on the alpha's lips.

With his hands shoved into his jacket pockets, the slight breeze rustled the long deep red locks, the alpha stood at the edge of the police tape, staring longfully over the black charred remains of the building that once stood there only just the day before. The sun was bright this morning, casting sun beams on black charcoaled debris, as if showcasing the disaster. There was nothing left but for a select few brick structures where the walls once stood. When the fire crew arrived, the building was so engulfed that the firefighters could only ensure that the flames didn't spread to other buildings. If anyone was inside, there was no hope.

Kyuubi felt the piercing pain of guilt, followed by a ripping sensation in his heart as his eyes slowly took in each and every section of the charred remains. He didn't know why he had to come here, maybe to grasp that one sliver of hope? The burn behind his eyes began, thinking of the what if...that may have brought him here to begin with. The lump in his throat burned and he choked back a sob. What was left for him here?

"Tsk, what a pity." A voice broke through the stillness.

Kyuubi whipped his head to the sound, his eyes glaring at the person who dared interrupt his moment. Golden eyes took in Kyuubi's frame and a sneer was placed on his lips. The breeze ruffled silver shoulder length hair as the golden eyes stared hard back at Kyuubi's glare.

"The fuck? Have some respect," Kyuubi hissed out. His alpha was suddenly wary of the stranger, as the stranger gave off no scent. Kyuubi could feel his hackles rise from the irritation of the strangers comment and not detecting any scent.

The stranger huffed out a sarcastic sound and crossed his arms. "Respect? Ha! Don't make me laugh dog," the stranger rolled his eyes. "A simple situation like this has me saddened that more didn't die." He chortled out another espasterated laugh.

Kyuubi saw red. "How dare you! You low life situated shit for brains!" With his fists clenched at his sides, his eyes burned bright emerald as his alpha prepared for an attack. He released a growl as he made to lunge at the stranger, but the sound of a car coming made him hold his stance. He growled through his teeth, "I suggest you take your disrespectful fucking ass out of my face."

The silver haired man tilted his head and lifted a brow. "My my...you kiss your mom with that mouth dog? Tsk tsk!" The stranger shook a finger and his head at the same time, scorning Kyuubi. The silver haired man looked to the side, when two police cars pulled from around the corner, heading straight for the charred building. "Pity I can't stay and play, but mark my words, you will see me again," he hissed out threateningly before turning and walked away.

Kyuubi snorted out loudly watching the stranger make his way down the street quickly. 'Who the fuck does that guy think he is? And what the fuck was he?' Kyuubi watched the stranger until he was gone and then turned to see the police cars parking up to the burned building. Several police officers got out, carrying briefcases and one had a camera. 'Investigations team obviously,' Kyuubi hummed to himself. His heart wretched again thinking about who was lost within the ashes of the building, so he turned in the opposite direction of the stranger. He needed to leave and knew exactly now what he was going to do.

"Sakura…" the soft voiced beta called out. Hinata was washing dishes while Sakura was drying. Kiba had done his share of chores and was now out running the perimeter.

"Hmm?" Sakura responded as she reached up, placing plates in the proper area of the kitchen cupboard.

"Sasuke's scent. I-I noticed something...different." Hinata struggled for the right words.

Sakura hesitated. She thought this question would come up. She noticed it as soon as she got up to Sasuke. It shocked her at first, but then she remembered quickly. "Yes?" She decided to see if Hinata guessed it first, considering she was under an oath of secrecy.

"Well," she bit her lip into a frown. "I could scent omega coming from Sasuke. At first I thought he had gotten near an omega, but-" she took in a breath. "The more time he was here, it was obvious that Sasuke is an omega." Her light coloured eyes then looked to see Sakura slowly drying another dish and staring down at the slow moving rag. "Sakura?" she prompted the other beta.

Sakura looked up to see Hinata staring at her, questioning her eyes. Sakura placed the dish and rag down, leaned her body against her arms and hung her head. "Is that what you think?" Sakura spoke out softly, refusing to look up at Hinata.

"Yes, absolutely, Sasuke is an omega. Which leaves me confused-Naruto always said he was an alpha." She crossed her arms now and leaned her one hip against the sink. "You know something don't you?"

Sakura inhaled deeply, finding her barings before stretching her back to stand up straight. She mimicked Hinata's stance, crossing her arms and leaning a hip into the counter. "Because I was sworn to secrecy, I couldn't say anything." Hinata nodded in agreeance. "But since you figured it out, I guess I can now say, yes, Sasuke is an omega."

Hinata's mouth dropped open to an O, before finding her words. "But how? Why? Why would-"

Sakura held her hand up to silence Hinata. "Look. For whatever reason, it's Uchiha business. And if Sasuke wanted us to know, I'm certain he would say something. I'm not at liberty to explain anything, it's not my story to tell." She breathed out a sigh again, turned and grabbed up the dish she was drying to put it away. "All that matters right now, is that Naruto has chosen Sasuke and he is happy. I assume Naruto knows, but for now, we can be supportive of their choice ne?" Sakura looked over at Hinata, requesting acknowledgement from the other beta member of the pack.

Hinata gave a soft smile. "Yes, I agree. If Naruto and Sasuke are happy, we can definitely celebrate."

Sakura gave her a grin. "I can hear Naruto's jeep coming, let's get this cleaned up and harass him for details of his trip!" Sakura and Hinata giggled as they quickly finished the dishes and went to greet their alpha at the door.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

A crimson coloured wolf pounded his way across the plains, the furr shimmering from the bright sun. Though the wolf was large, its colour blended in with the tall wild grass and if someone saw him, they would have only caught a glimpse of a blur blowing through the tall strands. The speed the wolf was traveling was intense and Kyuubi was not letting up at all. His mind screamed out the hurt and guilt that would only threaten to slow him down. His muscles stretched and accepted the intense pressure Kyuubi was inflicting on them, as if understanding the need for the push. The inner alpha howled out its melancholy pain and pushed harder across the field.

Kyuubi couldn't stay in the place any longer. There was nothing for him there, everything that he held dear was ripped away. The illegal underground auction was neutralized, but he knew that there was never an ending to illegal underground activities, so stopping one area felt like a drop in the ocean. He shook his wolf head, infuriated that he couldn't accept that one was better than none. At least the cubs that were there, were saved, and would most likely be looked after by surrounding packs.

Right now he wanted to run. Run away from the pain, the memories, the reminders of what he had. He didn't know where he was going, he just knew he had to get away. He ran blind in one direction, being wary of human areas of course, but for now, he just needed to escape. His alpha snorted out in agreeance. The crimson wolf continued to fly across the land, with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

I know it wasn't much, but I wanted something out there since the next chap may have some deep moments that need much explaining :D Again, thanks to those readers that still continue with this tale. I know sometimes it seems it is going on forever eh, but I love it!
