Time to get on with the story. Please enjoy chapter six of Ranger and Wolf.

Chapter 6
Family at Last

(flashback) Felix, with the help of his mother, maneuvered the limp body onto his back. Once she was secure he carefully began to head through the woods towards the den, followed by his mother and father, his aunt coming last.

(present) As Amarok imagined, the moment they stepped into the den there was a great commotion.

Two wolves the same age as Felix (13 human years) were bouncing on their paws and asking countless questions. One was Black like her father with green eyes (Rika). Her brother (Claude) was a mottled black and grey with piercing yellow eyes. The male had a scar over his left eye.

An older wolf in the back came forwards to ask what the commotion was. This wolf (Zella) was clearly the eldest and respected. Her fur was missing in patches and her eyes were misty grey, showing her inability to see.

Two adult wolves (25 human years) seemed to shrink back from the excitement, showing their low rank in the pack. The male (Zolo) was sandy tan with dark black eyes. The female (Nami) was brown with striking blue eyes.

All eyes turned to the leader (30 human years) as he quieted all the talk. He was a magnificent wolf. His fur was pure black and he had deep green eyes. His mate (28 human years) was a dark grey color with blue eyes. Their eldest son, Felix, was a dark grey with red tints in the coloring. His eyes were a hazel color, one not commonly found in wolves.

Amarok nodded to Felix, signaling him to put the girl somewhere comfortable. As Felix walked away Amarok related all that had happened. Felix went to the back of the cave, where it was warmest. He gently laid the girl down in the most comfortable place he could find. Once he felt she was comfortable he curled up around her, hoping to help her regain her body temperature. As he snuggled closer he heard her whimper one word. "Mom"

It was clear something terrible must have happened to her, and he found himself feeling protective of her over the next few days. Whenever he wasn't hunting he was sitting by her, hoping for her to wake up. She was breathing evenly and her temperature was normal, and still she did not wake up.

The other wolves noticed his behavior, but chose to ignore it. Then, five days after they had taken her in, it happened. Amarok had just taken out a hunting party for some food. He had taken Quantana, Zolo, Nami, and Claude with him.

It had been about an hour since they left that Felix began to notice a difference. The girl started mumbling in her sleep while tossing and turning. At times she had actually said full sentences that made no sense.

He had been sitting by her, trying to comfort her when he froze. Watching as her eyes slowly opened, revealing beautiful green eyes. At first her eyes seemed unfocused. Then suddenly her eyes focused on his face and she jumped up, positioning herself in a defensive crouch. It was clear she was scared and confused. He immediately held as still as possible, showing he meant her no harm.

After a minute of standstill she finally calmed down enough to actually look at her surroundings. She appeared to be in a huge cave. It was clear this wolf meant no harm to her. In fact, his scent made her feel safe. She found herself unconsciously creeping forwards. As she got closer she saw his eyes widen and froze.

Felix had been surprised by her movements, and now was afraid he had scared her. He put on an innocent face and began to speak. "Please don't be scared. I don't want to hurt you. In fact, I have been taking care of you. We found you in the woods freezing to death and brought you back here. My name is Felix. What's yours?"

At this the girl hesitated, before she cautiously began to speak. "My name is Rin. Why did you save me?"

To this he replied, "I couldn't leave you there, plus the alpha wanted to see what you were like. You don't smell like a pack. Who do you live with?"

As he asked the last question her eyes darkened. "I don't have a pack. I was raised by a human woman, but she is dead now. I have no one left to live with and no reason to live. I am alone."

Felix's eyes were burning as he fought not to just start licking her. He wanted to comfort her in some way, and finally he couldn't stop himself. He leaned in and licked her ear. Her head shot up and her cheeks turned pink. "Why did you do that?" She asked

"You looked so sad. I wanted you to know that you are not alone anymore. I am sure Amarok will let you join the pack. We need more members and you are strong. Live to help the pack. I like you, so join us." As he finished he looked into her eyes and smiled brightly.

A little later the hunting party returned to see the girl up and about. She seemed lively and happy. After a quick explanation by Felix, it was determined that Rin was to be the adopted daughter of Amarok and Quantana. So she lived with the pack, hunted with the pack, and became pack.

The only difference was she preferred two legs over four. Instead of tooth and claw she fought with arrow and knife. Hey ways were weird but she was able to help the pack. She now had a family.

Okay, end of Chappy 6. No this is not the happy end of story. If anything this was the super long intro. Please continue reading and as always please R&R. Thanks a bunch!
