A/N thanks for your reviews and support.

Guest: thanks for your review my friend. Sorry it took so long healing from a broken collarbone. Writing is slow.

Wolf11: thanks for your review my friend. Sorry it took so long healing from a broken collarbone. Writing is slow. As for Blue she may or may not make an appearance. I have not decided yet. She wont be canon with wolf's rain though. I may kill her off but I'm not 100% sure. Saying not instead of now was a typo. Good catches!

WhiteElfElder: thanks for your review my friend. Maybe this will help you. It is not Azkaban he broke out of. It was a spirit wolf not a lunar.

DarkRavie: thanks for your review my friend.

APridefulSin: thanks for your review my friend. I'm glad you enjoy it. Things are beginning to pick up now.

Zoran Dawn-Eclipse: thanks for your review and support. definitely significant.

I must say I cannot guarantee how often or how regular my updating schedule will be. I'll do my best to have one out as soon as possible but it depends on if I have any idea what I want to do for the next chapter. Writing will be slow. Where I was putting two out a day I'm struggling to put one chapter out in 3 days. So bare with me.

Harrison's POV

The howl left him feeling drained physically and mentally. He knew what it was and it only solidified everything he had learned.

Aniu rubbed her muzzle gently against his neck. Warmth filled him chasing away any fears that he made the wrong choice.

She said her voice still warm, $The path is yours now my son. No matter what happens know that I will always be proud of you. But you must be careful. Your father will be looking for you. He means well but this journey is for the clan. It will decide whether or not we as a species go extinct or not.$

Harrison asked quietly, $How do I stop him?$

A sad smile crossed her face as she replied, $Alone you cant. Stay close to those you call your own. But know your father is not your enemy. You might not agree on everything with him but he isnt your enemy. Beware of the man with the twinkling blue eyes. He will to stop you in search for his own Paradise. Beware, no sacrifice is too much to him.$

Harrison rubbed his furred cheek against her neck as he replied, $I'll be careful but I wont back down.$

A smile reached her eyes. A wind however blew through. Her body disappeared leaving Harrison alone in the snow.

With a sigh he made his way back up the side of the cliff. It was rough going but eventually he reached the top. Then he made his way back towards the camp.

Malcolm's head shot up the moment he walked up. Quent was drinking out of his flask. There was something in the dark eyes. It was as if he knew that everything had changed.

Harrison changed into his human form. Malcolm moved to stand before him and took to a knee.

Bowing his head the man said, "I am Malcolm Greengrass youngest of my family, last of the Guardians of the Okami clan. As those before me did I will swear an oath of protection and loyalty. Bound by my blood. Sealed by the Moon's blessing."

The man drew his wand and used slicing charm lightly on his thumb. When the blood began to flow he drew a rune on Harrison's forehead. The power of the man's magic surrounded him with warmth. It was gentle and kind just as Malcolm was.

Malcolm swore, "I am Malcolm Artiles Greengrass. In this day and age I work as a healer for the Dark Lord. Since the day of that my clan fell I have watched over the heir. As the Guardians before me swore to protect the previous Clan Heads I swear to protect you with my life. With you the Okami clan will rise again. I swear upon my life and magic that I will aid you in rebuilding the clan to its former glory. That should you wish I will help you in finding Paradise."

A white light surrounded them forming them the oath. Harrison could only stare in surprise. Very few wizards or wolves would make such an oath.

Tsume never said anything about oaths. It made him wonder if his mother had a guardian say the same oath.

Harrison said unsurely, "I accept your oath Malcolm. But dont act like that. You and Quent saved me."

Malcolm's blue eyes softened into a gentleness. He replied kindly, "You are so much like your mother. She was very forgiving and accepting of all her clan. No matter what your station was you were treated the same. At the same time you have your father's fire. Despite your differences you wouldn't be who you are without him. Both sides of your heritage make you who you are. Never forget that."

Harrison scowled at his Guardian. He knew the other was right. That didn't mean he had to like it.

Unwillingly his mind trailed to what his mother had said. His father was not his enemy. At the same time his father would do everything within his power to reclaim Harrison. Mistakes from before would not be made a second time.

Quent said gruffly, "I do not have magic make to such an oath. Nor do I have the lineage that he does. But you imprinted on me. I will look after you as much as I can."

Harrison flushed. No one wanted to look after him. No one but his pack.

Then it hit him. This was his pack and together they had to make it to the clan meeting grounds. They were pack to chasing the raven.
