Chapter 5 New love
John's P.O.V
A loud gunshot rang through the forest waking me up instantly looking to my left to find Zach's missing. I quickly ran out my den along with a few other wolves following close behind to investigate, including Eve. We heard a mournful howl in the distance sounding like they have lost a loved one, and is now moving on with life. As we ran through the woods like a mad squad, I can hear crying and water. So something must have gone down by the lake, maybe he must have drowned or something. When we got there I saw a lot my son on the ground with blood surrounding him with an crying Kate. I quickly ran to him and checked for an pulse but couldn't find one, so his heart rate is very weak. Kate's sobbing heart-sick holding on to him tightly causing him to lose more blood than he should.
"Kate let go I'm going to help him" I said.
"No I'm n-not l-leaving his side for anything...I'm so sorry Zach this is m-my Fault" Kate sobbed still holding on to him.
"Kate you're doing more damage you're making him lose a lot of blood...I need you to move now" I said serious.
"No I don't want to leave him...this is all my fault...if I just let him explain none of this would have happened" Kate said crying.
I grabbed Kate by the shoulders looked into her the eyes and said.
"Do you want him to die?" I said irritated she won't move.
She shook her head no and looked at him.
"Okay then...you have to stop hugging him he would bleed to death faster than he should...now do you remember where my first aid kit was?" I asked.
"No what's that?" Kate asked.
"Oh my god are you serious?...he's is going to die I won't make it in time" I said face palming my face.
"Is this it?" Eve asked with it in her mouth.
"Yes give it here please" I said reaching for it.
I grabbed it out her mouth and opened it starting to go to work to save my son's life.
I put on my gloves and pulled out the tweezers opening his wound taking out the bullet and placing it on the ground. "Was he trying to kill an elephant?...This a big ass bullet, this is not necessary for a wolf" I thought.
Kate saw a lot of blood and started walking forward to him, I looked at her and said.
"Kate you don't need to see this stand back" I said looking at her.
"Sweetie let's go to the den" Eve said.
Kate didn't move and was froze at the sight of a huge hole in his shoulder.
"Kate come on..." Eve said.
Kate still didn't move an inch and continue gazing at his huge opened wound. Eve walked to her grabbing her by the scruff of her neck walking away as she struggled to get away.
"NO MOM LET ME GO...I CAN'T LEAVE HIM!" Kate shouted trying to get free to no avail.
"He's going to be okay dear...the nice man is fixing him up" Eve mumbled as Kate was in her mouth.
"I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HIM I WANT TO MAKE SURE HE'S OKAY" Kate shouted starting to cry
"You will soon...right now he's in critical condition" Eve said.
"Mom pleasee...don't take me away" Kate said crying.
"Everything's going to be okay dear" Eve said as they disappeared above the hill.
"I'm s-sorry Z-Zach" Kate sobbed.
I shook my head and want back to my son's care, and wondered what kind of connection her and Zach's Have. Its one thing to care, but another to cry and not wanting to leave his side even for a second...she might love him...I simply won't allow this relationship continue to spark because there's going to be a lot of pain in his future dating a wolf. I'll only let it slide because Kate's a good girl and really loves him, I don't want to ruin her love life forever. If Zach's happy I'm happy, and this might be what he wants.I poured alcohol on a gauze pad and wiped it around his wound and slowly stitched him up. I'm actually surprised he didn't wake up, he must was in that much shock he was shot. I carefully picked him up, and looked at one of the wolves.
"You have a den we can spend the night in?...It's getting pretty late" I asked looking around for an answers.
"Right this way" A wolf said grabbing my first aid kit and walking up the hill with me close behind.
As we were walking through the territory a lot of wolves were looking at us mummering questions, when they saw me carrying my son with blood all over me. The wolf population got worse as more wolves kept showing up trying to investigate what happened, and why they was leading me to a den freely with my son. After 5 minutes we made it to a suitable den and I laid him down at the very back and looked at hutch and said.
"Thanks" I said smiling.
"No problem I hope your friend wakes up soon" Hutch said.
"Actually he's my son...but thanks anyway" I said sitting down.
He looked at me then at Zach and said.
"Oh I see now, you both look a lot similar" Hutch said.
"Yeah we get that a lot" I said chuckling.
"Well if you're ever having trouble or need something give me a howl..." Hutch said.
I gave him an unsure face, as he might have forgot we're not wolves.
"Just walk through the feeding grounds and to the right will be a huge rock with a ramp on the side and you'll know the rest" Hutch said fixing his mistake.
"Okay got it" I said.
He walked out the den and I laid down looking at the ceiling, wishing I was in my bed instead of this hard floor. I rotated constantly trying to get comfortable but it wasn't working, as I was losing to a cold hard floor. I was Irritated so I got up and walked out the den sitting outside the entrance, I looked up at the stars and it was millions. I've seen stars before but never this many, I guess I've never been outside at night Admiring the sky's. Loud pawsteps walking to the den Snapped me out my amazement trance and looking in that direction. I looked around for my gun just in case I need it but couldn't find it on me anywhere, then I remembered Eve took them. "Looks like I'm using my fist" I thought standing up ready to fight whoever's coming to our den.
"Z-zach?" A feminine voice said.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"Kate" she said walking into the light
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I wanted to check on Zach...is he okay?" Kate asked sadly.
"Yeah he's fine just need a little rest" I said smiling at her.
"Can I see him?" Kate asked.
"Sure...but dont hug him he's still haven't recovered yet" I said.
She nodded and walked in the slightly dark den along with me following. Kate walked to the back and laid down next to Zach and started licking his face, I couldn't help but smile at her affection towards him. I sat down towards the den entrance and just watched the nights nature starting to begin. Crickets made a night scenery with their spontaneous noises, here and there was a cool refreshing breeze blowing in the den giving me goose bumps. The moon was the only source of light as the den got darker, making it a little hard to see as trees swayed in the night wind blocking the moonlight. Everything was just perfect, nice breeze, amazing stars, and outstanding view of the night meadows. I looked back and saw Kate crying quietly herself to sleep with her head on his chest. It really surprises me how much she cares for Zach and wants him to be healthy and with her. They've only been together for two and a half days and they already have more than just feelings for each other. I thought Kate would have most likely ran away by now trying to find her family on her own, or terrified being in a Rv with humans and just howl for her pack to come rescue her. Somehow she really trust Zach and quickly gathered up feelings for him, even though she's young and not just yet supposed to date. She's already making commitments not to leave his side and protect him from danger with all her might. It's also obvious she couldn't stop thinking about Zach if she snuck away from her mother to be close to him. I've never thought animals had any emotions, but Kate proved me wrong and I feel like I made a huge mistake.
I finally found a nice spot on the floor to get comfortable and quickly fell asleep hoping my son would wake up in the morning.
Morning Zach's P.O.V
I opened my eyes and I was in a completely dark den, and I felt a small amount of pain on my shoulder. I tried to shake it off and go back to sleep, but it started to get annoying. Something was soft and was on my chest breathing slow warm breaths, I run my hands down their body so I can get a picture who it was. Then I heard low mumbling in a young feminine like voice.
"Mhmm Zach keep going...please don't s-stop"
"Yep its Kate for sure...but I wonder what she's dreaming about" I though.
"I l-love you Zach" Kate mumbled putting a huge smile on my face.
I brought my head down to her ears and said.
"I love you too Kate" I whispered, then she started nuzzling my chest warmly.
I kissed her forehead, and carefully moved her without waking her and she curled up in a ball from the immediate cold temperature. "She looks so beautiful when she's sleep...I'm so glad I chose to go exploring the woods that day I met her...she's literally now the only reason why I want to live...I might ask her to marry me but not until her puppy days are over" I Thought.
I quietly walked over dad and out the den to try to find my way to the lake to wash up a little. It wasn't really that far until I heard water and followed the sound. When I got there I heard someone crying and saw a complete jet black she-wolf sobbing by the bank. I slowly walked to her and she quickly turned around and got in a defensive position.
"Who are you?...and why are you in our territory?" She asked growling.
I sat by the bank and took of my shirt putting it in the water.
"My name's Zach..and Eve welcomed me apart of the pack so I'm not really a threat" I said.
"oh so you're the Zach everyones talking about?...I was expecting you to be a uhh-"
"A wolf" I said washing the blood out my shirt.
"Yeah" She said.
"Well now you know the truth...why were you crying?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk about it" She said sadly.
"Come on tell me I promise its between me and you...don't bottle it up it'll only get worst" I said using my shirt to wash the blood off my chest.
"O-okay...My boyfriend c-cheated on m-me" She said crying.
I walked to her and gave her a tight hug, and she cried on my shoulder...my good one. After a while I pulled away and looked in her yellow eyes and said.
"Forget him you deserve better...I don't know who would do such thing to you I mean you're very beautiful and probably have the personality to match it...if he wants to make love with someone else beside you that's him...because it won't be long before he becomes old and lonely...meanwhile you'll have a beautiful husband and pups running around...I know you fed up but keep your head up somebody will notice you and coming sprinting for your love" I said smiling.
She didn't say anything but hugged me and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
"Thanks for making me feel better...that was sweet of you" She said smiling.
"No problem and if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here...well not by the lake but-"
"I know what you mean" She said smiling.
"I've never caught your name?" I said picking up my shirt and squeezing the water out.
"Oh sorry...My name's Ruby" She said.
"Beautiful name matches you perfectly" I said making her blush.
She looked at my chest and saw cuts and scratches that's most likely going to leave scars.
"Oh..this happened when I got in a fight with a wolf for the first time...it was so awesome...but painful" I said.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" She asked sitting down.
"No, because I know where I'm going when I die" I said.
She sat there thinking for a minute about what I said.
"I'm glad you didn't die...I would have never met this kind sweet caring Zach" She said smiling.
I smiled back and felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out and it was a text from mom saying "where are you guys?...it's getting late" for some reason I couldn't text back because I didn't have any service.
"God dammit At&t" I said putting it back in my pocket.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Its called an IPhone, it let humans communicate with each other from far away" I said.
"So it's like a howl right?" She asked.
"Yeah kinda but better...you can talk in it" I said.
"Really?" She asked amazing.
"Mhmm...and to top it off if I get bored I can play many games on it...or listen to music...watch movies you name it" I said.
"What's music?" She asked.
"Hold up a sec" I said taking out my phone scrolling down my playlist to find something suitable.
I played a song called Time Of Your Life By Kid Ink.
"Wow that's amazing...it's like howling but with words" She said as it still was playing.
"Yeah its good to listen to when you can't sleep...or whatever mode you're in" I said smiling, then stopping it before I drive attention.
"That's awesome...do you want to...you know...hang out later?" She asked a little nervous.
"Sure if I have any spare time I'll stop by" I said smiling.
"Great we'll met up here" She said happily as her tail wagged.
"Sure thing" I said putting my shirt around my neck.
She walked to me and gave me another kiss on the cheek and walked to her den.
"Goodnight Zach" She said.
"Night" I said as I watched her leave.
Kate's P.O.V
I felt really cold and moved over to Zach but couldn't feel him anywhere. My head jointed up and I looked around in the den and he was gone.
"Zach?" I called no answer.
"Zach?" I called again to no answer.
I sniffed around the spot he laid in and his scent was very strong, I ran out the den following his scent worried he might be in trouble. The sound of water go closer as his scent got weaker, making me extremely worried he might have tried to wash his scent away. I hopped through some bushes and on to the cool wet dirt by the bank of the lake. I looked around and saw someone sitting on a log writing, silently I crept up to whoever it was and clearly saw it was Zach.
"Zach!" I shouted tackling him covering his face in kisses.
"Oww..." Zach groan in pain.
I quickly got off and said.
"Sorry Zach I forgot...are you okay?" I asked worried I might have seriously hurt him.
"Its okay im fine...and it's good to see you too" Zach said chuckling sitting up.
"I'm just happy you're okay and alive...I thought I lost you" I said sadly hugging him.
"I would never leave you...I'll always be here with you I promise" Zach said kissing the back of my neck.
I looked up in his charming hazel eyes and leaned forward planting him a kiss. The way he makes me feel is like trying to describe water. I don't feel so empty anymore. Our tongues explored each others mouths, and my eyes were close savoring the moment. He rubbed all over my body giving me a heart thrilling message as I moaned in his mouth. A little itch started to engage between my legs, and I can feel something wet starting to drip down my legs. I payed no attention to it and continue at it with Zach. He broke the kiss apart, and he both took a deep gasp for air.
"T-That w-was the b-best kiss we ever s-shared " Zach said smiling catching his breath.
"R-Ready for t-the second?" I said panting.
"Bring I-It h-here baby" Zach said with his arms out smiling.
I walked into his embrace and was about to contact my lips with his until we heard a twig snap. We both looked around and didn't see nothing.
"I think it's better if we go back to the den" I said looking in his eyes.
"Yeah, you right..." Zach said picking me up.
"Wow You're strong" I said giggling.
"I workout with my dad a lot" Zach said walking to the den.
I felt his muscles and they were tough and huge.
"I see" I said giggling.
"Sometimes it pays off when fighting wolves twice my size" Zach chuckled.
"Can you teach me how to fight?" I asked.
"Are you going to alpha school?" Zach asked.
"No I don't want to be gone for nine months...I'll miss you so much" I said licking his cheek.
"if you want I can asked Eve if I can tag along?" Zach asked.
"Really?...You would do that for me?...what about your family would you miss them?" I asked.
"Of courses I will but its worth it...I want to wake up with you every morning and snuggle with you every night...The taste of your blooming kiss is something I want everyday as I live...You're the one I want to live with forever...Your love is like a soul to soul connection for me and I don't want to disconnect for nine months" Zach said.
"Awww Zach that was sweet...did you mean it?" I said dreamy.
"Every word" Zach said smiling.
"I love you" I said smiling nuzzling his chest
"I love you more" Zach said kissing my nose.
Zach made it back to the den carrying me, and gently laid me down. I circled the floor a few times and laid down mentioning him to follow. He laid down next to me and I laid my head on his chest, and he put his arms around me giving me a lot of warmth. He stroked my back and I purred at the delightful feeling, slowly dozing off to sleep on my sweet Zach.
