Last time:
"Why, there's nothin keeping me with this frivolous pack?"
He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him and he nuzzled my neck as his arms came around me. "There's me."
"Tsu..." I gasped as I felt him kiss my neck.
"Stay with me please."
We walked through the snow, wind beating down on us. Kiba was in the front while I stayed next to Tsume behind him. Hige, Toboe and Blue were behind us. The storm soon turned into a blizzard and I heard Hige call up to Kiba before running past us to stop him.
"You're going to fast, let's take a break," Hige gasped and I silently agreed as Tsume wrapped an arm around me to keep me warm.
"We don't have time for that," Kiba snapped.
"Would you use your head for once?" Hige growled as Kiba turned away from us. "We have girls and a kid with us."
"I can hear you, you know," Blue called. "Don't worry about me..."
"Kiba, Hige is right. This blizzard is only making our pace go slower. We need to find shelter!" I growled, before Tsume started to pull me towards an outcropping of rocks.
Inside the cave, Hige, Toboe, and Blue went to the back while Kiba stood at the entrance and Tsume and I sat near the middle of the cave, closer to Kiba than the others. I was leaning against Tsume while his arm was around me.
"The sun will be up soon, we should rest there until then," Tsume spoke.
"What do you say Kiba? The storm will blow itself out by morning," Hige called.
"It already has," Kiba spoke, making the three in the back blink in suprrise. "Come on, it will be fine."
"Well none of us will be fine," Tsume snapped and I touched his leg to calm him.
"Do what you want, I'm leaving," Kiba spoke calmly. Blue and Toboe stood but Hige, Tsume and I stayed put.
"We're staying," I growled. "You may act like Alpha of this pack but Tsume seems to be more fit for the position."
Kiba narrowed his eyes at me before running out into the storm.
"Kiba!" Toboe whined.
"Let him go," Hige growled. "All he sees is Cheza, he doesn't care about us."
"It's like I've said many times, kid. This goal you pursue is just a fairytale, give it up!" I growled. "Jaguara will kill you before you are able to reach it. She's planning something big. Get some rest, we'll follow in the morning."
"Like you did?" Hige growled as Toboe and Blue sat back down.
"I am not without scars from that retched woman," I snapped. "I was barely four years old when she came to my village. She slaughtered them all and wounded me, thinking that it would kill me. That damn experiment you chase, kept me alive before she was taken to be studied. Ever since, I've been close to death many times, but it wouldn't come. That thing cursed me to stay alive!"
I stood and walked to the entrance of the cave, letting the snow hit my skin.
"Get some rest, we'll follow Kiba in the morning," Tsume spoke to the others then I felt him come up besides me. "Is that the reason you hate Cheza?"
"That's half the reason. Her very existence is the other reason. If she hadn't been created and spreading tales across my pack, Jaguara wouldn't have come. I won't be going with you to that castle," I spoke leaning against the wall and looked out at the white landscape.
"What do you mean?"
"Why would I go back to a place where I was chained up and beaten by an obsessed lord?"
"Jordan, look at me," Tsume whispered and I looked at him, emotions locked away. "What happened to you after I saw you at the lake?"
"In the forests, I smelt the humans and ran into Darcia. At the time, I didn't know who he was so I went with him, knowing that was the only way that I wouldn't be spotted by the many humans who know me in this form. He revealed a wolf's eye... so much pain with one glance. Then he said he was going to take the secret of transforming into a wolf from my blood so he could enter paradise. Then he whipped me until I bled into unconsciousness. When I came around, I was chained to a wall and a human snuck into the room and I got away," I whispered, looking back out into the blizzard. "My wounds seemed to be healed by the time I came around. It makes no sense, my healing, it's faster than it should be."
"I'm sorry," he whispered, pulling me into his arms. "I should have just gone with you from the beginning. None of htis owuld have happened."
"No, none of this would have happened if Kiba had just stayed out of our city," I sighed, resting my head on his shoulder and inhaled his scent.
"Where will you go, if you refuse to go near that castle?"
"I don't know, Tsu. i've been pulled into this mess, unwillingly. I don't have anywhere to go. I want to stay with you Tsu, but I won't follow you there."
"I won't make you, Jordan," he whispered. "Would you stay here and wait for me to come back? Those kids won't survive without an Alpha and Kiba never really was one and the runt said something about him and I sharing that position. I'll take care of them and then come back to you."
"You are the Alpha, not him. He is more of the go-it-alone kind of wolves. I'll stay for you," I whispered, lifting my head and kissed his cheek. "Come, let's get some rest."
I pulled him back to our earlier seats and I leaned against him as I closed my eyes.
When morning came and the storm had finally past, every one stood and headed out of the cave. The other three started heading forward and I pulled Tsume back and looked at him. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"Come back to me," i whispered before pressing my lips to his briefly before pulling away and pushed him forward to the others.
