The beginning of a new era

Angel POV

I awoke in Kate and Humphrey's den and began to observe the room. I see Kate and Humphrey cuddling in the corner of the den and my mind immediately thinks of Seth. I get up and run out of the den sprinting myway to the medic den. I see Winston and a couple of other higher ups outside of the den talking.

"Winston. How is he?" I ask with a worried look on my face. He turns his head and his face had a saddened expression on it.

"He hasn't gotten any better. I'm sorry Angel we just don't have any medics that can treat that, not even Carla." He says shaking his head.

I walk closer to the group and try to walk past before I'm grabbed by Winston and another wolf.

"No Angel I don't want you going in there." He says closing his eyes.

"With all due respect Winston I don't give a damn what any of you want me to do. Seth is mine and if I want to see him I will see him." I say beginning to get frustrated.

"Angel calm down." I hear as I feel a paw touch my side. I turn my head to see Kate walk next to me.

"Kate I need to see him." I say beginning to tear up thinking about what he could look like.

"Hey, Hey he is going to be fine." She says pulling me into an embrace. I return the hug and apologize for how I was acting.

"There's no need to apologize we know how you feel about him." Winston says causing me to blush a little. I smile and close my eyes wandering what I can do for the moment.

"How about you come back to my father's den with Humphrey and I." She says smiling. I contemplate leaving when I'm this close to Seth but finally agree to go with Kate.

"At least we know we'll be safe here.: Kate says looking to Humphrey smiling.

"Yeah me included, Candy and Sweets tried to forcefully mate me." I say trying to rub the image out of my head.

I lie down in the corner and think about what happened the day before. How he left because of how guilty he felt and in doing so was almost killed. I feel a paw touch me and it makes me jump.

"Oh I'm sorry Angel." Kate says beginning to rub my back.

"No your fine I just can't get my mind of him." I say lowering my head.

"Hey we're all thinking about him you just need to think positively. He's the best of us, he'll be alright I promise." She say smiling at me.

"Y-your right, he'll be fine." I say remembering that she said the same thing yesterday before we found him the way he was.

"Humphrey can I ask you something?" I say thinking about what happened to Kate. He turns his attention to me and nods his head.

"When you and Seth were trying to find us what made you two stop, I mean what part of the conversation." I say looking at Kate.

Humphrey looks down in guilt and closes his eyes.

"We stopped because I was trying to calm Seth down, I told him that Kate was one of the best fighters this pack has and Angel was good enough to pin him. I convinced Seth to stop not the other way around." Humphrey says looking at Kate shaking his head.

"Humphrey I appreciate the acknowledgement of our strength you have but still it doesn't change what happened." She says looking down towards the ground.

"I agree, we understand that you had no idea what we were going through but you should have kept walking." I say looking to Kate with guilt.

Humphrey looks away from us shaking his head in guilt. "I just can't believe Seth was beaten that badly." He says looking at me.

"Even I thought Seth stood a chance against Blake." I say looking at the ground in sadness.

Seth POV

The image of me being thrown into the tree kept replaying in my head. I didn't understand how I was beaten that easily. The only reason I'm alive right now is because he didn't kill me. I look around me and see that I'm standing in shallow water with mist all around me.

"W-where am I?" I question observing the environment around me.

"Your in the Connection Zone." A deep voice says to me. It was a wolf about 2 to 3 times bigger than I was. He began walking towards me.

"Who are you?" I said trying not to show a hint of how terrified I was, The wolf came out of the mist and I was immediately put into shock.

"You don't recognize your own father?" He says smiling at me.

"How are you here? I'm not even close to our territory." I say fully terrified now

"I told you son I am not close to your location but I brought you to the Connection Zone to have a little conversation with you." He says sitting in front of me.

"Seth I know of what your doing, telling different packs of my war and I have to say I'm quite confused. Did I not offer you a great position in my ranks?" He question tilting his head.

"Father it isn't about positions. It's about how wrong this is." I say trying to begin an argument.

"Seth...I'm not here to go back and forth about what's right and what's wrong. You can either stay with the lesser species of wolves or you can join your brethren in my ranks." He says looking at me with a serious expression.

"What do you mean Lesser wolves?" I question shaking my head.

"The wolves that you are warning of my war are only a sub species of our kind. They are not full blooded hints why they do not have the powers we have." He says with a sigh.

"Then that means I am a lesser species of wolf, I have no powers." I say looking up at him.

"No you are not!" He says in a full shout. He clears his throat and continues on.

"Sorry, I will not stand for you calling yourself a lesser. You have powers you just haven't found them." He says putting a paw on my shoulder.

"Thats what Blake said. I haven't "Found" my power yet. What does that mean?" I say looking up at him confused.

"The only way to find your power is to earn it in a battle against one of our kind. If you would just come back home I have some candidates lined up ready to battle you." He says shaking his head with annoyance.

"No dad I'm not coming back, destroying the packs of these wolves isn't how we should act if we really are a higher species of wolf, we should be guiding them, teaching them everything we can to help them survive with us." I say trying to plead with him.

"So be it. If you will not come back then I can not trust you any more. Seth This is your last chance. If you say no again then I will have to kill you along with them." He says looking towards the ground.

"I'm sorry dad but what your doing is wrong." I say looking away from him.

"Then consider this the last thing I do for you as your father." He says placing his paw on my chest.

"What are you doing?" I question looking down at his paw.

"Worry not my son, I am giving you some of my energy this should be enough to get you on your feet." He says taking his paw off my chest.

"I don't understand why help me if you know I'm not coming back.?" I look at him in confusion.

"Even if you are a rebel you are still my son. Seth the next time we meet it will not be like this. I will come to kill them. If you stand in my way like you are now I will kill you." He says walking away into the mist.

My eyes shoot open and I look around me to see a dimly lit den space.

"How did I get here?" I question looking out the den door to see Winston and a couple others. I stand up and begin to limp out of the den running into Winston and the others.

"Seth?! But how?" He yelled looking at me in shock. I look at him and smile.

"I don't really know how either" I say patting his shoulder. He tells a little bit about how the pack has been and sends me on my way. I try making my way to his den and I can feel the amount of eyes on me. It's still that time of the year for females and now would be an even better time for a female to take advantage of me. I try my best to limp a little faster but it was no use my legs were to sore to even jog and my arm was still out of socket. A gray colored female approaches my side tells me to use her to lean on.

"N-no I'm fine." I say not knowing her true intentions.

"please let me help you." She says smiling at me.

"I'm sorry but I really don't trust alot of people right now." I say turning my head away from her. I had noticed that she wasn't very big maybe just a little smaller than Angel.

"I probably shouldn't lean against you anyway to be fair you aren't the biggest wolf." I say jokingly. She chuckles at my comment.

"I know why you don't trust me and it is totally reasonable. I know females around this time try and take advantage of males but I assure you I have no intention of trying to mate you." She says leaning her body against mine. I had an overwhelming amount of warmth come over me when she did and it confused me, the only time I had ever felt that was the first time I made contact with Angel.

"Where are you off to?" She questions wanting to know where she is helping me to.

"Winston's den, my Mate and best friend are there." I say looking at her a little uneasy.

"Oh well that shouldn't be too much of a hassle. I mean it isn't that far from here." She says smiling up at me. I had to admit she was a very and I mean very good looking female but not as good looking as Angel.

"Thank you for helping me" I say as we approach Winston's den.

"No problem" She says slowly moving from my side. We said our goodbyes and I limped my way into the door way of the den.

"Seth?!" I hear my lovers voice echo as she makes her way to me stopping right in front of me.

"Yes baby it's me." I say in a relaxed tone.

"B-but how? T-they said you were in the same shape as yesterday." She says gently nuzzling my chest. She rubs her body against mine and turn back around wrapping her arms around me. She plants a kiss on my cheek causing me to smile. Kate and Humphrey make their way to me as well.

"I'm so sorry for what I said" I hear Kate say as she begin to tear up and look away from me.

"N-no your good, what you said was totally understandable, you did nothing wrong." I say hugging her.

My body is immediately sent into pleasure as I feel Angel touch my wolfhood.

"A-angel What are you d-doing?!" I question while my face was bright red.

"I needed to make sure you weren't hurt." She says smiling at me. The way that we were all looking at Angel caused Kate to catch a glimpse of me as well. Her face went red as she looked away.

"O-okay A-angel you can put him a-away." Kate says blushing and looking at Humphrey with guilt.

My face was probably the most red as I my eyes met Angels.

"A-angel n-not h-here." I say putting my paw on her side. She smiles innocently and rubs my paw.

"What? I'm just making sure your ok." She says leaning against me.

Angel continued to search around my body for any injuries, licking me all over. She made her way back to my side when she lowered her head straight towards my wolfhood.

"N-nope Y-you can't do t-that with them h-here." I say gently picking up her head. She gives me a sad look and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I finally pulled out of the kiss which sucked because it was utterly amazing.

"A-angel what's going on with you?" I ask blushing. She looks down towards the ground and puts on a sad expression.

"I-I'm sorry it's just ever since after we had that moment two nights ago my body just craves you." She says looking ashamed.

"Hey it's ok you don't need to apologize. It's just there's a place and time for that." I say kissing her. I turn my head to say Kate and Humphrey happily amused by what they witnessed.

"You two done yet?" Humphrey asks smiling. I laugh a little and nod my head.

"Well Seth, You're still not 100% so I want you to stay in the medics den for one more night." Kate says pulling me into an embrace. I return the hug and nod my head.

"I have to go another night without you..." Angel says cuddling into me. I gladly cuddle her back.

"I-m sorry but Kate's right I need to be under Carla's watch for the night." I say kissing her cheek.

"Ok...but only for tonight and please make sure you watch for any bad intentions ok.." She says looking uneasy. I nod my head and say my goodbyes before heading back to the med den to rest.

Kate POV

I didn't know how to feel after what I saw, I mean it was exactly how I thought it would look but I just didn't think I would see it. I shake the thought of seeing Seth's wolfhood out of my head and and see Angel with a worried look on her face.

"Why don't you just stay here for the night?" I say offering her.

"I don't know, I mean I stayed last night." She says turning her head to me.

"Angel you're pretty much my best friend now I do not care how many times you spend the night." I say hugging her. She returns my hug and looks up with the same worried look.

"I don't think it's you you're worried about is it?" I say raising an eyebrow. She looks down towards the ground in shame.

"I-its not that I don't trust him it's just a girl is going to be watching over him all night." She say putting one of her paws on the other.

"Hey its not a bad thing that you don't trust an unknown person, that's totally normal." I say rubbing her back. She smiles and nods in agreement.

"So are you going to stay the night?" I ask lifting up her head.

"Y-yeah I think so." She says walking towards the den door. I follow behind her and question where she's going.

""I just want to get some fresh air for a little." She says as she walks out of the den.

I feel bad for her because Humphrey has never been in these types of situations. I walk out and see her sitting there with a blank expression on her face. I look at her eyes and see she was looking at something, I follow her gaze and see she was looking at a gray wolf that Seth was leaning on.

"Angel...You just have to trust him." I say knowing he wouldn't hurt her.

"I know but he's going to be lying down, a perfect opportunity for a female to strike." She says shaking her head.

"Yeah it does seem like a pretty messed up situation, but like I said Seth knows how to handle situations like this." I say smiling.

"Yeah you're right I think I am thinking of it too much." She says standing up and heading back inside the den.

"No I wouldn't say that I mean he's your mate it is not a bad thing to worry about him." I say reassuring her.

She nods her head and lays down in the corner of the den. I lie down and snuggle up to Humphrey who was already asleep. I awake in the middle of the night to see Angel gone, I begin to freak out and scan the room.

"Humphrey get up! I don't see Angel." I say pushing him awake.

We look search for about an hour before heading to the med den that Seth was at. We arrive and I slowly peek inside to see Angel cuddled up in his arms. Her head slightly lifts as her eyes make contact with mine.

"Sorry we just didn't know where you went." I say smiling at how cute they look.

"No your fine I'm not sure Seth even knows that I'm here, I just rubbed his head and layed down next to him and he wrapped his arms around me."

"Awe y'all are so cute!" I say admiring the pair. Angel gently moves herself back and with her movement Seth's face turned into an expression of pain. Angel quickly sat back up and looked over him.

"Hey, Seth I need you to tell me where it hurts." She says sniffing his body to see if she can get any clues. Seth doesn't say a word and his head keeps jerking back and forth.

"A-angel, I-I think he's having a N-nightmare." I say watching the way he keeps jerking his head. Angel nods her head slightly and puts a paw on the inside of his body.

"H-hey baby." She says gently moving him back and forth.

Seth POV

"Angel no!" I yell running in almost slow motion as Blake holds a claw to her throat.

"In the end, you could never do anything." He says shaking his head. My body is suddenly stopped as my father has me in his grasp.

"I told you what would happen the next time we meet." He says looking saddened as he slices my neck open. I fall to the ground trying to breathe but it was impossible. I don't take my off Angel as I move my hand up to grab her.

"How pitiful." Blake says slicing Her neck right in front of me. I try to speak and nothing comes out. My eyes tear up and suddenly I'm in a new environment.

"H-hey baby." I hear gently in my ear. She softly smiles at me before realizing the tears falling from my eyes.

"Hey What's wrong." She says gently rubbing away the tears.

"Y-you d-died right in front of m-me." I say putting a paw to my throat.

"I-I couldn't even save you." I say starting to cry harder.

"Hey, hey don't cry look I'm right here." She says gently hugging me and then pulling me into a kiss.

My mood was made a lot lighter and I looked up to see Kate and Humphrey.

"Oh I guess you saw that?" I say feeling a little embarrassed.

"Angel I've never seen him cry so for him to cry over you means a lot." Kate says smiling at her.

"Oh really?" Angel says putting her head in my chest.

"Don't get used to it." I say trying to hold a straight face.

Kate and Humphrey headed back to their den and the last thing I remember was having Angel in my arms and her body against mine.
