…Tala's POV…

"Spencer was a large wolf, a large white wolf and so strong it took both me and Bryan to keep him in check…

Though by that time Ian had awoken and I was left to try and explain things to him like I to had Bryan. In the end it was good Ian came in when he did, he knew what to expect and was obedient enough not to say anything. Your dream of three wolves, that did happen, I took time off searching for you to show Spencer the plains, the freedom that Bryan and I had enjoyed all those night. However he didn't enjoy it as much as we did, his mind was always back at the apartment with Ian who couldn't come yet. However, that didn't last long, Ian's birthday came close to a week later and due to his pre knowledge of events to come he dealt with it quite well.

…maybe I should have warned you first… I just didn't know whether you'd believe me or freak and run to Rei," Tala said, standing up for a brief moment and stretching, Kai rolled over and looked up at his golden-bronze companion and shook his head; he was pretty sure he wouldn't have believed any of this unless he was a part of it.

"That night we all went to the plains, it was perfect, just like an oddly coloured pack of wolves seen on TV…

By night we'd run free, roam the city for food so as to save our money for the trip I was planning later, though it was obvious where interests lay in the pack. Bryan and I would often go off on our own as did Spencer and Ian who preferred, as you witnessed, to bask in the moonlight and just watch us. Sometimes I'd wonder if they ever felt discarded, abandoned…"
"We didn't… you had given us a lot… sacrificed a lot for us."
I watched as Kai looked up and over at the large white wolf that now stood before us and then to the smaller black one that trotted up to sit beside it nodding in agreement.

…Normal POV…

"So we agreed by the end of the week we'd leave in search of you, for that was what Tala wanted to do, he said he needed to find you and we followed, we owe him a lot still," Spencer explained.
"Yeh, without him I'd have to get a job," Ian added.

Kai stood up beside Tala watching as the silver wolf he'd come to know as Bryan approached Tala rubbing his head against the side of his before approaching Kai and giving him the same greeting. That seemed to signal the others who also welcomed Kai to the pack like Bryan had and soon Kai found him self running free with the wolves through the forest and out into the valley below; this time it wasn't a dream. They ran as a pack, five wolves running through the valley howling out at the moon.

Kai stopped panting slightly as he took in his surroundings. They were at the base of the valley, beside the stream he had visited earlier that day though this time the water sparkled and the snow glowed with the silver light of the moon. He watched Tala and Bryan as they tackled each other rolling in the snow, Spencer and Ian sometimes barking out encouragement to each of them as it turned into a play fight. Lying down his head resting on his paws, he watched Tala bound over to him after Bryan had given in and admitted defeat. Kai rolled over onto his back signalling he wasn't going to be one to challenge him, though Tala's eyes seemed to laugh at him as he rolled back onto his side allowing Tala to lick the snow off of his face. However he soon paused looking down at him.
"Kai…if you choose to come back with us, I want you to be my mate…"

…Kai's POV…

I watch Tala as he sits down beside me his deep ice blue eyes staring into mine. I'm amazed at how much he's offered me; I don't know what to say.
"So now you know…" He says, looking up at the moon, my gaze follows his and I see the clouds that are approaching on the horizon but are still behind the mountains.
"Is there anything you want to know that might make this up coming decision any easier for you?" He asks, but I don't know what to ask, what to say. I had been so caught up in the moment that I had forgotten about everything, the team I was with at the moment, what I had been only hours before. I sit up rubbing my head against his taking in his scent until my eyes spot Bryan.

I stop and look over at him as he stands alone by the stream watching us, and then I look back at Tala.
"What about Bryan? You said you wanted me to be you mate…" I stop and look away from him, not exactly sure on how to phrase what I want to say, what I feel I need to ask… I look back up at him and he seems to be smirking at me.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask about that," he says with a sigh lying back down onto the snow, I stand over him slightly confused at how defeated he looks.

"Kai, I love you… but I also love Bryan as well… that's probably what he was trying to explain to you. I want us all to be together… it's the only way I can think of keeping both of you," He tells me, closing his eyes. I lie down beside him my head resting on his back turned towards the others at the stream. It makes sense Bryans confusion, his attempt to explain these things to me, his invitation for me to join him and Tala on the couch back at the cabin. I feel myself smile, I don't know if wolves can smile but I know if I were human I would be, I've been given everything, Tala's love, acceptance back to those who are the only ones who could understand me; I've already decided.
