Previously:

Cole smiled and followed him to a warmer spot where the pack had settled temporarily, "Don't worry he will be okay. Just like he was then he is strong now. We just have to raise him with love even if he grows up to search for paradise again."

"Yes." The male agreed making sure he had a good grip on the toddler in his arms. With caring eyes he looked at the asleep Kiba gripping his shirt even in his sleep, "Yes, that he will."

Now:

Time had passed and Kiba had gotten a little bigger. He didn't look as haunted anymore his eyes were now bright and childlike. He liked traveling Zali and Cole could tell. Every time they stopped for a few days he would thoroughly explore the area they would let him. Moss still didn't warm up to Kiba but the white wolf wouldn't back down from the other wolf in fear anymore. He would actually bare his teeth before going back to his parents because that is what they told him to do. Kiba was a very mindful pup. He had his moments as every pup did but he listened better than most. It made some of the other parents a little envious that their pups didn't listen as well but they still adored Kiba all the same. Right now Kiba was trying to get Zali to play with him. He was biting at his fathers ears, pouncing on him, and doing just about anything his young mind could come up with even, "Please."

Cole laughed as Zali gave his son an exasperated look, "Kiba I'm trying to rest before my shift."

"But you told me you would play with me." The young pup whined cutely. Zali cursed Cole for teaching their son how to do that, she knew he had a hard time ignoring her when she did that. It was even harder when Kiba did it because he had the puppy eyes to back it up, "You promised me."

The grey wolf sat up and looked at his energetic son staring him down. He was already gaining some of the looks he had from his past life, especially when he stared down people. Giving an amused huff he finally stood up, "You can be too much sometimes."

Cole watched fondly as Kiba pranced around his dad trying to decide when to attack. He already knew he was adopted from another pack that had died. They had never hidden that from him even in the beginning. The she-wolf gave a soft sigh as her son finally attacked Zali only to be knocked down by the adult wolf. 'I wonder if this was how he was in his last life, so full of life only to loose it later. We can't let him loose this. I don't want to be the same love deprived wolf we saw in our past lives.' She gave an amused snort as her mate pinned their son down with his paw, "You are getting better Kiba."

The alpha let the pup up so he could run over to his mom and nuzzle her, "Am I really?"

She nuzzled him lovingly, "Yes, one day you will make a fine alpha for what ever pack you end up in. You will be so strong and smart. Your father and I will make sure of that." Kiba laid down snug against her side allowing her to curl around him as he licked her cheek, "My little snow ball."

"Mom!" Kiba whined looking up at her.

She tilted her head, "Can you blame me it is one my favorite memories. You were so cute trying to figure out the snow." If he were human and older Kiba would probably be hitting his head with the palm of his hand, "You will always be my child no matter how old you get. And the nickname snowball is probably going no where. Sorry honey."

"It's okay mom." Kiba said snuggling more into her when he then bared his teeth at Moss as he and his gang of friends walked by. Zali moved to lay in view of Moss reminding him not to over cross his boundaries. The white furred pup let out that little fearsome growl of his. "I don't like him."

"Then just do your best to stay out of his way and you two shouldn't have any problems." The alpha said to his child watching Kiba settle down against his mate fur, "You just have to learn. Sometimes you have to work with people you don't like."

Kiba groaned, "But I don't want to work with him."

"Then create a pack of your own." Cole suggested her pup looked at her shocked his ears straight up, "What is it honey?"

"What do you mean not be in a pack with you? I would miss you too much."

Cole touched her nose to her sons' own, "Kiba I want you to understand something." He tilted his head but didn't not move away from her, "Sometimes packs have to separate to protect themselves. If a pack gets too big then it will make us easier to spot. I will love you no matter where you go whether or not you stay in our pack. One day I want to see you leading a pack because I know you can do it."

"Would I still get to visit you?" The pup whined out his eyes shining in hope.

"Yes." She replied as Zali nudged Kiba causing the pup to look at his father.

"If you end up in a pack all your own I want you to feel free to visit us anytime we cross paths." The alpha nuzzled the white furred puppy, "Even if you feel the sudden need to see us and we are no where near by."

"All we ask is that you be careful no matter what path you choose."

Kiba gave a happy yip, "I will. You can count on me."

Cole watched her son play with his playmates. The pack had seven pups in total and no expectant mothers. The other pups were younger than Kiba but only by a few days and three of them came from parents that had survived other pack eliminations. Kiba was proving to be a wonderful fighter already just by winning the wrestling with multiple of his playmates. One of the mothers that they had taken in sat next to her, "Your Kiba fights well."

"As does your own pup Mable." Cole responded with a gentle tap from her tail to her fellow she-wolf. Mable was the newest wolf to join their pack and was a red furred wolf with yellow eyes, "You and Author raised Mark well."

"Thank you. That is a really big complement seeing the world we live in today. I just hope Mark never has too much hardship seeing as he lost his two sisters to the attack."

The grey wolf nuzzled her, "You did everything you could. They will forgive you I promise."

"I just miss them is all. My little girls." Mable sobbed shaking, "It hurts to think about them."

Kiba and another pup that had black fur and light red eyes ran up to the mothers. The black wolf going to Mable, "Mom are you going to be okay?"

"Oh Mark I'm sorry I didn't mean to ruin your fun. I'm okay don't let me stop you from playing." The black furred pup just sat down and looked at her, "Mark please go play."

"No." The red eyed wolf replied rubbing his side against his moms hind leg, "You are hurting I can't let you hurt."

Kiba sat next to his mom and looked up, "Mom is Mable going to be okay?"

"She will be fine honey." Cole replied licking him, "She is just going through a hard time." She looked up with her gold eyes to see the red furred wolf laying with her son. The other pup finding their mom as play time ended. "Let's let them by Snowball." Kiba trotted after Cole who went to find her mate.
