Wow, I'm amazed by all the responses….and how much hate everyone expresses about Lady Cat ahhahaa! Ned did what he did for a good reason y'all! And will be explained further.

Regardless, I am happy the story somehow embodied you all ^^ I try to make this in a realistic point of view. You will expect a lot of hurt/comfort in this fic, plus the mocks and fights that Jon got himself into. Because that's just how the world is, one person is trying to be nice and the next, they hurt them for reasons we can't even comprehend. That's reality.

One thing for sure though, and applying this to reality, Karma gets back 10x harder.

Anyways, thanks for leaving comments/reviews, kudos, faves and all those!

And now to unravel some truth!

The wolf cub padded in silence, following the rest of the pack far behind. Occasionally, Ghost would give out a small audible whine that only Dany can hear if she listens closely. His pain and frustration are palpable, she could feel it to her bones. She had seen him distraught, but never this badly. She didn't know what to do but to only stay silent and stroke the back of his fur along the way, giving him the comfort he needs, the whole ride is silent save the cubs and the other pack members in front of them.

The Dragon cub knew how hard her soon-to-be mate had worked, how much he invested in his dream, only to crumble right in front of him. She doesn't know how painful it feels but seeing him upset made her sad too. Will he be able to see the light of another day? Will he see the days the same as before he failed the Running?

She had to do something for him. Just a small smile would do for him to cope with his loss.

As they got closer to the castle, that's when a thought came to her. They need to talk, just as Jon did to her when she too was distraught all those seasons ago.

"Jon," she softly called to him, he only turned his head a bit in response, "Can we go somewhere else first?"

Don't you want to be in our chambers? He asked, trying to hide the pain in his tone.

She shook her head, "For now, I'd like some fresh air," then she stroked the fur on his neck, "And I suppose, you are going to need it too."

This made Ghost stop moving, Dany, if it's about me….

"No," she immediately said, "Lady Cat looks grouchy, I don't think I want to be at the same castle first with her state like that," she giggled at that thought. She looks ahead to find the Lady of Winterfell and her face doesn't look grumpy, rather she's just irritated to see her face after her last words to Ghost.

Ghost turned back to meet her eyes for reassurance. Dany smiled at him and gave him a face with her purple eyes staring rather intensely at him, "Please?"

The white wolf sighed, I just can't deny you, can I?

She playfully shrugged, "You're going to have to get used to that."

He chuckled and faced forward, Alright, where do you want to go?

"Around Torrhen's Square," she answered, "It's more peaceful there."

Alright, hang on tight, and at that, he bounded away from the path to the castle and into the forest.

Unbeknownst to them, Arya was heading their way to see how her brother is coping after her mother 'talked' to him. But she saw Ghost padding another way with Dany on his back, disappearing into the forest. The she-wolf became curious and followed them behind, she shifted into her wolf form and using her scent, she followed to where they are heading to.

Here we are, he said, What did you want to do here?

He brought them to the place where he first went patrolling with Dany, at a hilltop where they can observe the square. It feels rather nostalgic to observe the whole square together again.

Dany dismounted Ghost with ease, she walked up the hill and sat, "Sit with me?"

As if he can resist her offer, but he decided to stay in his wolf form. He placidly lied down next to her, having his soon-to-be mate resting her side next to his and his head next to hers. The wolf felt her relaxed and she began stroking the fur at the side of his neck, he immediately curled beside her and sighed.

They stayed silent for a while, watching the horizon before Dany broke it. "Do you remember the first time you brought me to your morning patrols?" she softly whispered to him.

He chuckled and pressed his furry cheek to hers, How can I not? It was your first day as a pack member too.

She slowly nodded, "I didn't know what to expect when I was accepted here, no one has ever taken me in," she confessed to him, "I thought I'd still be alone even though I am safe, and helpless. That I had to serve the pack in…..well…. various ways."

The wolf turned to her, What do you mean?

She sighed, "Back then, someone once recognizes me, they like the idea of…. Well…. having me…for themselves."

Ghost took a while to process what she said until he understood, her words send shivers down her spine, Dany, did they… did they…, he couldn't say the word, it's too much.

"No, they didn't," Dany shook her head, "I ran away before they had the chance to, and I never went anywhere without Viserys ever again. It was either with him or taken away by them."

The wolf's eyes found hers, its red eyes widened, Dany, you never told me this.

"Because you didn't have to know," she looked down sadly, "It was my past, it happened a long time ago. Even if I did want you to know, there wasn't a topic we have ever discussed to bring it up. I have already buried it in the depths of my memories since I stayed with you."

He felt sick to his stomach, the thought of someone wanting her against her will disgusts him. Now he really understood why she had to stay with her brother reluctantly, it was either her mad brother or gangs of mobs. If only he found her earlier, maybe he would've killed them all.

Dany sensed his anger, and her touch manages to cool down his fire. He turned to her, "Jon, it's alright. Everything is in the past now. You have been protecting me since we met, and I am forever in your debt."

Ghost felt his muscles relaxed from her soothing voice. He felt her remorse and licked her cheek, making her smile, You do not owe me anything, Dany. We are one, you are soon to be my mate, I will always be there to protect you. You will never go through that again, I promise. He strongly vowed to her.

She smiled at him and gave him a soft kiss on his furry cheek, "I love you, Jon," she whispered to him, "You never saw me as an idea, you see me as me. No matter how many times people wanted to take me because I am a Dragon cub, you were always there to be my shield, even if I have nothing to give you," She nuzzled the side of his head, "You are always more than what people think you are. No matter what trials falls to you, no matter what the results would be, you will always be the wolf who saved me from the lions. But most of all, the wolf I love."

Her words soothe his heavy heart, it felt like everything became lighter. Jon shifted back to his human form and quickly enveloped her into his embrace, Dany nuzzled at the space between his shoulder and neck. He breathed her sweet pine scent, filling his nostrils and flowing his mind to just her.

Suddenly, he felt the urge to break down. He did everything he can to prove that he is worthy of her, and yet his uncle caught him. Unfair or not, he had proven to the other cubs that he is the same helpless cub. His breathing became heavy just by thinking about it, he couldn't hold back his tears.

"It's alright, Jon. Everything will be alright, you'll see," she softly whispered to him, reassuring to him the way he did to her, she stroked his dark raven hair, "You were incredible at the Running. You were faster than any other cubs, you still proved that you were the fastest," she tried to be positive for him, never seeing how he failed. She pulled away from him and cupped his cheeks, "As your mate, I'll always be with you, every step of the way until you found what you are looking for."

That did it. He sought her lips and kissed her passionately, her lips are soft, and her mouth is welcoming. He placed his hand at the small of her back and pulled her closer, wanting to feel her near him. Wanting to forget the damn Running. All it matters now is her, "I love you so much, Dany," he murmured between kisses, "And nothing will ever change that."

They broke apart catching their breath, Dany's lips are swollen from their kisses. She is the most beautiful person he had ever laid eyes on, and so is her heart. She is the first person whom he could open up to, and to think she agreed to be his mate is something he had never imagined.

Dany brought her hands and placed them on his cheeks, she wiped the tears streaming down from his eyes and gave him the warmest smile he loves to see from her, "There you are."

He smiled at her and tucked her under his chin where she would take resident. All those burdens he felt moments ago seem to disappear if only they can stay like this forever. "Thank you, Dany."

She rests her face on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. They are in sync, as one. "You are smiling again," she suddenly blurts, changing the topic, "It suits you very much."

He couldn't help but smile at her. She truly is magical, not moments ago he was upset, and now here she is, chasing all the darkness away from him. Becoming his strength and light. He held her tighter, not wanting to let her go, ever. "And so do you," he whispered. And they both stared at the horizon together.

Nymeria couldn't hold back her excitement, her tail wagging furiously left and right. She was watching the couples from a good distance in the bushes behind them and heard nearly all their conversation.

So all this time, Jon had already asked her to be his mate. And she said 'yes'! She knew that her new Dragon sister will change her brother's brooding mood, Dany always knew how to cheer him up. Now that they are going to be together forever, it makes her excited that she can finally call Dany her Dragon sister.

Nymeria was about to pad towards them when suddenly she heard a commotion above the trees. Listening carefully, it wasn't the commotion of her fellow wolf packs would make. She stayed still to be sure.

"Did you hear that?" Nymeria heard Jon alert.

The commotion became louder and clearer and before she knew it, a horde of vigorous monkeys and apes stampede towards Jon and Dany. The Freys! The Monkey-people! Why are they here? Nymeria ducked lower to see what they want.

She can hear one of them shout, "We've got the Dragon cub!"

Nymeria heard her screams and constants shouts, "Let me go!"

"Leave her alone!" Jon shouted back and heard distinctive barks, snarls, and snaps.

The she-wolf couldn't take in the danger she witnesses and hear, she closed her eyes and ears. Wanting them to go away, she was too scared to react. She knows she's better than this, but the monkey-people was twice her size and they look frightening, especially with teeth bared.

There were words that manage to penetrate through her ears, "Restrain the white wolf," said a crackling voice. There were screeches and snarls echoing the entire forest.

"Jon!" Nymeria heard Dany screaming, the screeches hasn't stopped and that made her tremble. She can feel the trees shaking from the monkeys, what they were doing she just doesn't know. What she knows is that it seems that they haven't figured out about her.

After a while, the struggle sounds began to fade. Nymeria blinked an eye open and scanned her surroundings, the fight seems to stop. But are her siblings alright?

She darted out of the bushes and looked around. The tree branches looked misplaces and twigs and leaves are scattered everywhere, it's like earth shake happened here. Nymeria looked at the spot Jon and Dany sat before, but both couples are gone.

The she-wolf became frantic and sniffed the ground and air. They are definitely not alone and they had interacted with them. She followed their scent until she saw a horrible sight from a distance across the forest.

They are captured! Her brother was restrained with so many ropes around his neck, human shifters were pulling him from one side and another to avoid any attacks to them. Dany was slung across a big man's shoulder, she didn't look conscious. She squinted at the man carrying Dany away, there is a sigil printed on his armors, and she gasped. The sigil of a bridge! They are all the men of Freys!

Nymeria's breathing became ragged, shocked to what she just saw. She immediately turned back on her heels and ran back to Winterfell to find help.

It wasn't only the White Wolf who is frustrated with his loss.

On the outskirts of Winterfell, the panther and the black bear are heading off to the forest to discuss the Running without eyes on them.

"I saw that look in your eyes when you were standing over him!" Ser Rodrik growled at the panther who is in front of him.

Benjen bared his teeth in frustration and turned back to face his friend, "I did what I did because I had to."

"Do you think I am stupid? I SAW WHAT YOU DID!" The black bear is losing his patience.

So did the ranger panther. He pounced at the black bear, Ser Rodrik stood up on both his feet to hold him off. He managed to grab the panther on its hind legs, the panther struggled to break free from his vice grip, but the bear isn't letting him go easily, "HE WAS AT THE LEAD! I TRAINED THAT BOY," he shouted at him and tried to push his head down to the ground, "Why did you have to do that?"

Benjen managed slipped away from the bear, "HE HAD TO FAIL!" And bit his leg, the mentor roared in pain. But it gave him the chance to grab the panther once again before he could escape and the bear pulled his legs, "WHY CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH DANGER HE'S IN?"

"THE PACK WOULD HAVE PROTECT HIM!" Ser Rodrik threw him upon his shoulder and hurled him away, sending the panther tumbling and rolling off the ground.

But he managed to roll back up again, his grey eyes looking straight at his with teeth still bared, "Tywin will kill him, and tear the pack APART!"

And he's back pouncing at him, and Ser Rodrik grabbed him on his hind legs again, "You are not the only one who cares about the boy!" He gave him a slap as he said this, Benjen groaned at the shock.

The panther isn't backing out either, returning the slap, "All you care about is that he passes!"

"It's because, IT'S MY JOB!" The black bear let out his frustration and did his best to knock the panther's head to a tree trunk.

As their argument and slapping continue, Nymeria made it in time to stop them. She barked at the top of her lungs, "Uncle Benjen! Ser Rodrik! Over here!" Her yelps brought the two fighting shifters to turn to the young pup, "Jon has been taken by the monkey-people!"

They both let out a dumbfounded "Huh?" and they heard the cries of ravens fleeing away, which is odd. Ravens would cry if threatened. That means Nymeria is right!

The bear and the panther looked at each other for a while, knowing what they had to do. Ser Rodrik dropped Benjen immediately and began running to look for Jon. "JON!"

Nymeria watched them darted in panic, she wondered if she should join. But a white blur stood appeared in front of her, starling the she-wolf. She looked up to see that it was Ser Barristan! He looked at her with concern, "Pup, was Daenerys with him?"

She frantically nodded, "And they took her too!"

The lion looked at where the panther and the bear darted away, "Stay here, cub. And keep this to yourself, I'll help them."

And at that, he darted away to follow his fellow pack members. Nymeria found that even if the lion is old, he's quite fast. She prays that they all will make it out alive and well.

Dany woke up slowly, but her vision is blurry, close to fainting again. She felt weak, her eyes are heavy, and she didn't have the energy to move. She tried moving her hands, only find them secured tightly behind her back, tied to a pole. She sat there unable to move.

She tried looking around her surroundings and find that it seems that she is in some kind of ruins, the place looks dark save for the light coming in from a few holes from the ruined rocks. Dany tried to think back what happened before she got here, she was with Jon, and then…. They were attacked by a horde of Monkeys! The monkey-people separated her and Jon, but what made her faint, she hasn't figured that out yet.

There were constant struggles and snarls at her side, Dany turned to see a white wolf fighting to get the monkeys off his back. He snarled and snapped, catching some between his teeth and send them flying away.

"Jon?" she croaked, her mouth felt dry. Still unable to gain enough strength to even see the wolf's expression, the more she tried to focus her attention, the more her energy drained. She feared her voice isn't enough for him to hear.

But Ghost's ears perked up at her small cry, he immediately turned his attention to her. Her face looked weak and close to faint, the blow on her head by one of the men must've really caused her a bad after-affect. Ghost leaped out and tried to get to Dany. He dashed to her, wanting to set her free, to protect her. He just promised her that he'll protect her, and now…..

Just as the white wolf was closing in, just a few inches left, he was knocked to the ground by another wave of monkeys. They are just endless! The rope around his neck isn't helping either as someone is pulling him as more monkeys surround him. He had tried to get them to off of him but more just replaced its space, pulling at his fur, and biting into him. Ghost yelped in pain before tumbling off the ground, nearly exhausted. But he had to get to Dany.

"Put him down," he heard a dark voice say. And before he knew it, he felt something sharp plunging right into his chest. He couldn't move or have any strength to fight back any longer, the last thing he saw was Dany calling him before everything turned to dark.

Dany screamed in horror as her mate fell to the ground with a knife plunged into his chest. Her breathing became ragged and her heart beats rapidly, she wants to get up and go to him but the ropes holding her back is tied to a knot. Her eyes must be deceiving her, this must be a bad dream.

She felt like crying, the one person who mattered the most to her is about to fade before her eyes. She wants to so much see if he's alright.

All train of thoughts vanished into fear when a loud roar echoed the ruin.

She froze as a menacing feline is coming her way. As he was nearing, she felt her vision became blurry. Dany doesn't have enough strength to fight back, she knew that this may be the end. She looked at her wolf, his body is still and eyes closed, she couldn't see if he is still breathing, but one thing for sure, he was given a fatal stab. Ghost isn't moving.

If she's to die now, then so be it. Let her at least join her love. At that thought, she lost consciousness.

As the cubs are unmoving, it is the perfect moment for Tywin. How he had finally waited for this moment. He stepped up the stairs to where the Dragon cub was restrained, walking over the white wolf cub and finally stopped in front of her. The Dragon cub's head is down, and her hair fell a curtain. She looks more slender and taller since the last time he had seen her.

"My, my," the lion growled wickedly, "How you've grown." A monkey beside him began chattering and Tywin slapped him away but never taking his eyes off his kill. "And how much chaos you've brought upon the pack," he added.

Tywin lifted his paw up and extended its claws, "So much more to come," he placed a claw into her shoulder and plunge it in. The lion heard her gasp. As the claw sinks into her flesh, he dragged it all the way to her arm, tearing away her white skin and letting blood pooling down the wound.

Satisfied with his work, he puts his paw down again and leaned in closer, "Just… a little taste." The lion opened its mouth, baring his dagger-like teeth and is nearing to tear the Dragon cub apart…

Before a few small rocks fell on his head, and two big animals dropped down from the broken ceilings of the ruins. Tywin immediately backed away and turned back to see who it was.

Ser Benjen and Ser Rodrik, he should've known. From the ceiling, a white blur gracefully leaped down, appearing before the lights is Ser Barristan. He growled, he should've known that the old albino still has a soft spot for the dragons.

Ser Barristan searched his surroundings and found the Dragon cub tied to a pole. The lion quickly padded towards her and nudges her head, trying to wake her. But she only groaned.

The black panther and the black bear roared, keeping the monkeys away from them.

"Jon!" The black panther searched around and found the wolf lying in front of him. He also saw the knife sticking out of his chest, blood painting its white fur down the filthy ground.

Ser Rodrik's lips curled and turned to the old lion, and his let out a mighty roar. The black panther isn't backing out either and roared.

Tywin has had enough, he turned to the monkey-people in his command and roared. A signal to attack the intruders.

The monkeys were hesitant at first, seeing two huge felines and a bear protecting the cubs. But one monkey was relentless, it vigorously climbed one ruined pillar to another and was about to land on the bear.

Only then to be stopped by the black panther. Benjen caught the monkey between his teeth and tossed him away. He immediately roared at the monkeys, the black bear and white lion also joined him. The trio shifters stood their grounds in front of the unconscious cubs and roared in unison.

The monkeys took it as a sign of provoking and they all charged at the shifters. The shifters were able to slap the monkeys away and catch them between their teeth before tossing them away, but some managed to get back up again and fling themselves on them.

The battle was intense, but three against a large herd of monkeys, numbers would clearly beat the odds. They all managed to latch themselves on the felines and the bear, biting through their fleshes, the three shifters roared in pain, they tried to shake the monkeys off, but they grip on their manes and fur hard. They are not letting go no matter how much they tried shaking them away.

Eventually, the monkeys managed to tip all of them off their legs, sending them to fall on their bellies. They struggled to stand, but the monkeys are keeping them down. The monkeys are clearly winning, but the Stark loyalist aren't going to back down from the Freys, still trying to shake them off.

Tywin, who was watching the fight from afar, took this opportunity to head towards the dragon cub. He can see that the Dragon cub is about to wake, she turned her head, trying to open her eyes and regain her focus.

Now that no one is in the way, he took the opportunity to kill the cub now. The lion walked to her, ignoring the struggles of the panther, the albino lion, and the bear completely. He was closing into the wolf cub, having every intention to tear him apart.

The Dragon cub began to awaken, her eyes flew open in fear at the sight of who is coming to her. Tywin Lannister! Why did he come now? She cried out and tried to pull herself free, but she was still held back.

To her horror, Ghost is still lying there unmoving too, there are monkeys standing on him as if humiliating his body. Is he really gone? "Jon! Jon! Wake up!" she cried, trying to wake him, but his eyes are still closed and mouth still agape, unmoving.

She felt tears welling up her eyes fast, beginning to realize that he might be gone forever.

Tywin saw her action and grinned, this is even better. Not only did he made her helpless, but he broke her spirit by killing her savior. He crushed her hope. Now, killing her will be easier.

He lurked towards her, staring at her as if she is a piece of meat, ready to pounce and kill her…

Before another loud thud echoed the ruins again from behind.

Tywin turned back to see who dares to interrupt him again.

A large red python slithering towards him with incredible speed, letting out a horrible hiss. Melinsandre, he growled, the only python that he couldn't find the courage to kill because of her powers.

The monkeys quickly backed away as the snake gracefully slithers with ease, scaring them away. They even covered their eyes, not wanting to look at her.

As the red python got closer to him, she threateningly hissed at him, wanting to strike. Tywin was shocked at her speed and backed off, making him tumble to the ground. He was ready to make a run for it.

But the python wasn't interested in him. She slithered to the wolf cub and strikes the monkeys down with blinding speed, making them fall off and quickly back away from her. The python managed to strangle one with ease, leaving the monkey twitching and wheezing in pain before she let it go. She then immediately did the same for Daenerys, scaring off the rest of the monkeys.

The python then circled its long body around the cubs, protecting them as a mother snake would for her eggs. Part of her long body curled around Jon, pulling him near the Dragon cub. Her front body curled to a striking position, read to strike if any dares to make a move to attack them.

Her slit eyes eyed every single one of the monkeys and the lion. She flicked her tongue, "LET THE WOLF AND DRAGON CUBS ALONNNNEE," she hissed threateningly, "They belong to usssssss!"

The lion let out a roar in anger, he was so close to kill her. But he knew better than to attack the seer python. This time, he must let her go….again. He turned back and walked away in frustration. The rest of his minions followed, the monkeys scurried away in fright.

The python watched each of the Freys leaving, no one dared to go against her. Good. She then turned back to the restrained cub and stared at her frightened violet eyes.

Dany's breathing turned heavy, she really thought that the lion will finally kill her. But instead, the seer python just had to come again. "Melisandre," she mumbled.

Melisandre only hummed, but she didn't say much again. Her body began to move again, her tail reached the rope that tied the Dragon cub's hands. The tail began to turn hot and it easily sliced the rope, breaking the cub free.

Dany shook her hands, easing her soar hands, "Thank you."

The python looked closely to her violet eyes and saw a significant difference since the last time they met. She flicked her tongue out,"Sssso it has commenced," the python hissed at her before slithering away to the nearest broken pillar and began climbing a pillar. As she did that, her body began uncovering the unmoving wolf cub.

Dany noticed Ghost and her heart beats rapidly, "Jon!" she quickly gets to her feet and ran to him, she needs to help him. She gets to his side and pulled the knife off him and threw it away.

"Jon?" she knelt beside his head and lifts it into her arms, his fur is rougher than usual, red colors painted his face. The head only hung on her arm, not moving. No, this isn't happening. "Jon? Please, wake up. I am here, we are safe now, let's go home."

Still no answers from him, she couldn't even see if he is breathing, the light in the ruins isn't helping. Ser Rodrik, Ser Barristan, and Benjen limped towards her, watching her trying to wake the wolf cub. But it seems without going any further, they knew his state. The smell of death is strong in their noses.

She tries to shake him again, "Jon, my love, please wake up. Don't leave me alone, please." She began to cry, her heart feeling restrained. Since meeting Jon, he had been nothing but helpful and kind, she never thought that he will be someone she would fall for. But… to rip him away from her like this….to end her happiness like this…

No, Jon is still alive. This is not how he will die.

Dany lifts her head and looks toward the approaching felines and bear, "Please, he needs help!"

The panther sat beside her and his ears flat, his eyes filled with sorrow, "Cub, we know the smell of death."

"No," she exclaimed, still holding his head tightly to her chest, "We can still help him!"

But her mentors only turned towards each other and sighed sadly. They couldn't even look at her pleading eyes, not having the courage to break her heart even more. The cub is in denial.

The white lion approached her slowly and sat beside her, "Cub, your arm is wounded. Let him go and- "

"NO!" she shouted, she didn't even realize she has a new wound now, but nothing compared to the wound in her heart, "No no no no no! He's not dead, he can't be! We…we…" were supposed to be mates, she wanted to say, but all her words are stuck in her throat, trailing off.

The dragon cub buried her face in his neck and cried, hugging his head close to her. For the first time in her life, she had never felt pure anguish in her heart. And now, it seems that the extreme has finally arrived. She should've known that happiness is only temporary. She should've left the pack when she had the chance, that way, none of this could happen. Jon would still be alive.

She began to hyperventilate, streams of tears couldn't stop running down her cheeks and making his fur wet. But she couldn't repeat the exercise she always did with Jon, at this point, she didn't care.

She just wants him. She wants him to lick her cheeks the way he used to do, wiping tears off of her, embracing her, and telling her that everything will be fine. She wants to feel his lips on hers again, kissing her gently like they used to.

But now…. She can't feel any of those anymore. Everything felt numb. She felt alone again.

"Everything will be fine, silly dragon," a deep spluttering female voice echoed.

Dany is stunned at her words, she lifted her head and look to the source. The red python. She was using the words she always heard from Jon, how he always called her that to lose the tension. Always making her feel safe with those first words. "How did you….."

The mysterious snake hummed, "He isn't dead. Bring him and follow me." At that, she slithered away to the entrance of the ruin. She stopped and looked at the mammal shifters, waiting for them.

The Dragon cub nodded and looked to her mentors, "Please, help me carry him."

The mentors looked at each other, the lion was hesitant, "Can we trust her? She is a python."

"Well…she saved us from the monkey-people," she replied rather harshly, she is beginning to lose her patience.

"But what if it's a trap?" Ser Rodrik raised the suspicion.

"Look, I met her before, if she wanted me dead, she could've done it already," Dany retorted back, anger fueled her. Funny how Jon said the same thing to her, and now she is reciting his words, and it seems to work. She looked at the bear's eyes with fire, "She saved us, and she is willing to help Jon. Your student. The least we can do is follow her words."

The black panther felt a sense of pride, the cub has truly grown. Ned is right, she truly is a rightful queen. He chuffed, and shifted back to his human form, "You heard her, come on. We'll put him on your back, Rodrik."

He stayed still for a while and nodded.

Dany felt her frustration fading, his uncle is truly kind. Now she truly understood why he was the first in line to accept her into the pack, "Thank you."

The ranger nodded, then he walked to Ser Rodrik. The bear lifted the wolf's neck, holding him between his teeth and quickly slipped his head under Ghost. Ser Barristan also shifted back and with the ranger, they helped slung him over his back.

"Cub, get on his back and hold Ghost. Make sure he doesn't fall off," his uncle said to her.

She nodded and mounted the bear. His back is wider than Ghost, she had to make sure her dress still covers her legs, letting them drape down. Then she held onto the wolf's fur, "We are ready."

The bear nodded and began walking towards the entrance to where the snake is waiting. The Kingsguard and ranger shifted back to their feline forms and followed the bear, side by side.

The seer python flicked her tongue out in satisfaction and began to slowly slither to where the young white wolf cub needs to be.

As they followed the python down to the forest, Dany stroked Ghost's fur as if he is sleeping. Or maybe he is just unconscious, Melisandre said that he is not dead. She looked at his close eyes, Everything will be alright, she repeated to herself as if Jon was the one who says to her. She too will make sure that he is safe.

Sorry, another cliffhanger. I was really excited to write this chapter! Though I wish I knew how to write a battle scene better.

Errr, yea…. Jon killed off wasn't planned at first before it came up at the last minute. Thought it fits. So there.

The ruin scene is based on this, you can watch on Youtube and click the first video: Kaa rescues Mowgli from Shere Khan.

Hope you all like it! Laters!
