Bolt's POV
I awoke the next morning to hear whining coming from where Kane and Kanti had slept. I guess they found out about the dew. So I got up to help him. "Hey Bolt ! Why can't we get up ?" Kane yelled. "The dew." He looked dumbfounded. "The dew from the early morning has gotten into your fur and frozen. Thus, you are stuck until it thaws." I smirked. They groaned in annoyance, "You knew didn't you ?" "Yeah, It happened to us our first night up here." His eye twitched. "Then why pray tell, did you have us sleep here ?" "Kota wanted me to. He said it'd be funny." Now he looked really annoyed. "There must be some way to get unstuck...." He then began to struggle furiously. "It's not gonna work. I know, I've tried. You'll be free before noon." Then Kota woke up. "Hey, Morning Bolt. I see they have found out about the dew." "Yeah, Well mostly Kanti is still asleep and he as you can see is trying the tactic you thought of." Kota winced, he leaned down, "Don't struggle. Wait till the ice thaws. You'll rip your fur out if you keep it up." "How do you know ?!" Kane sneered. Kota turned around, "See that ?" Kane's eyes went wide as he looked at the scar he had on his side. "I got that because I tried what you are doing now. So for the sake of your fur, Stop." He immediately stopped, "How long till it thaws ?" "Like I said you'll be free before noon." I replied. He sighed in relief and flopped down on the ground to try and go back to sleep. Then.....Kanti woke up. "Why can't I get up !" She screamed. She was about to start struggling when Kane stopped her. "Kanti, Baby you do not want to do that." Kota and I were taken aback at this statement. "Wait, What I thought you two hated each other." I said very confused. "We did, when we left the pack we hated each other because I was convinced it was her fault." Kane said. "And I was convinced it was his fault."Kanti added. "Long story short, after a while I fell head over heels for her and she fell for me. So here we are a year later stuck to the ground somewhere in Washington." He said nuzzling her.
Kota's POV
Well that was strange...... Walking away I wondered if that was what was going to happen with Bolt and Isabel. That would be awesome and strange all at the same time.... I kept walking for some reason until I reached a clearing."I'm hungry." I said to no one in particular. But someone heard me........ "Kota, I swear if you say that one more time I'll kill you myself." "Who said that !" I shouted. "You don't recognize me." The voice sounded hurt. "Your voice sounds familiar...." I breathed. "That makes me really sad Kota." "Who are you ?" Then the voice reveled it's self. She looks exactly like I remember her. "Hello Kota." Before me stood my mate, Mya. "Mya. Your..alive. How ?"I said in shock. "You never were very smart. You should have checked for a pulse before you left me in the snow." She said angrily. "How ? They shot you in the head." I said still in shock "It only looked like I'd been shot in the head. It wasn't my blood....." She trailed off. "They knocked me out. They thought they'd killed me. Then they killed our......." She again trailed off. Then she broke down and cried. I ran over held her crying form as close as I could. "I..just...wish I..could have...done something." She said in between sobs. "I know babe. I know." I began to cry too. We sat there for a few minutes. Then we both calmed down. "Come on there's some wolves I'd like you to meet. Follow me."
Kodie's POV
I was having a nice sleep. Until Kota's voice ripped me from it. "Everyone ! Look !" "What is it his time Kota ?" Bolt said not interested. "Look who I found." He replied. That got my attention. I turned my head to see Kota was indeed not alone. I stood up and walked over. "Who's this Kota ?" "This is my mate, Mya." Everyone was taken aback by this. Bolt for one was dumbfouned."Kota, I thought you said Mya was dead." Bolt said amazed. "That's because I thought she was." Kota replied. "Well I'm assuming this is your clan. Am I right ?" Mya asked. "Yeah, This is my clan. Well everyone we have a new member." "Does that mean we don't have to do what you say anymore ?" Kanti interrupted. "No." Bolt replied "Of course not." Kota added. "Why not ?" Kane complained. "This is different. Mya is Kota's mate. So that means she skips the do-what-we-say stage." Bolt explained. Kane and Kanti groaned. "Thank you for reminding me Bolt. Kane, Kanti, go get me and my mate here some caribou." Kota ordered. Now they were annoyed, yet they followed orders and left to find a caribou.
2 Hours Later
Bolt's POV
I can't believe it. Kota's mate is alive. Kota must be the luckiest wolf alive. I looked at the two, they were staying real close together. I guess he really missed her. Just then Kane and Kanti got back with the caribou. They dragged it to the middle of the clearing and backed off. "Mya," She looked up at me. "You and Kota eat first. Welcome to the clan." She nodded and began to eat. After they had finished the rest of us ate our fill. Then I told Kane to get rid of the remains.
Sunset
They had said that this was their tradition. Kota and Mya had been sitting on top of a rock watching the sunset. The problem ? We could hear what they were doing. By the end of the night we had learned more things about them than we wanted to know. "Alright...um.....That.. never happened. Agreed ?" I asked. "Agreed." they said in unison. "Here they come, Nobody tell them we heard them." As they trotted over I noticed that Kota had a very happy look on his face and Mya looked really embarrassed.
"So...... How was the sunset ?" Kodie asked. "Really good." Kota said loopy. Now Mya's face turned a shade of red that I didn't even know existed. "Okay.....Well everybody to sleep we move out first thing in the morning." I ordered. With that we went to sleep. Well....Most of us any way. I can not get that image out of my head. Must sleep, think about it in the morning.
