Chapter twelve threats of war
A/N hey guys here the next chapter of family reunion. For those of you wondering i haven't given up writing I've just stopped the steady flow of writing for the past few weeks just because of stress and pressure and a lot A LOT of driving. I will be continuing this story and hilltop but hilltop may take a while to update each time. Thats it read on guys.
As I wake up I look around to see my den and outside then I feel something pressing against me and I look down to see Abby. I smile at the memory of last night and us admitting our love for each other after looking down at her for a while I put my head back down to get some more sleep but I hear her waking up so I pull my head up and keep looking down at her. She turns around so her face is in my fur and I chuckle at the feeling of her nose in my fur. She looks up and opens her eyes and as soon as she sees me she smiles at me.
"Good morning beautiful." I say kissing her cheek.
"Oh Andrew am I ever going to get used to your complements?" she asks with a smile on her face
"I doubt it no one has before." I say smiling back at her
"Ok that's good to know maybe I will be the first, and also this may be a little soon but what do you think about pups?"when she finishes I'm a little surprised that she is so quick to bring up pups but when I actually think about the subject I feel my mood darken but I try not to show it. She obviously noticed because her smile turns into concern and she asks.
"What's wrong did I do something?"
"No you didn't it's okay it's just that I've had pups before and it didn't end well."
"Oh I'm sorry to ask but what happened to them?"
"Well I will give you a little background information. first I was a lone wolf for a while and drifted from pack to pack all over Alberta until... Until I found the love of my life her name was Sarah, she had white fur with black paws and ears. Her eyes were a amazing green kind of like Garth's and we had 2 kids one male and one female.
The males name was Michael and he had grey fur with a black underbelly and white ears his eyes were a teal color. The female was named Brooke and she had all white fur and the same golden eyes as me but one night we were sleeping and I noticed that Brooke was gone. I heard screaming so I went and looked for her and found her on the ground dead with 2 wolves coming at me i killed them, then I heard screaming and went to the source and found my wife dying on the ground and she made me promise her to save our son... Which I wasn't able to do because when I got back to the den there were wolves holding my son hostage. They killed him and then I killed them and then I went and howled out my sadness." as I finish I see sadness in her face and she looks like she's on the verge of tears.
"Oh Andrew I'm so sorry I shouldn't have brought it up." she says and then she starts to cry a little bit but I grab her cheek with my paw and say
"Hey hey abby you can't blame yourself for bringing it up you didnt make it happens so it's not your fault and you couldn't have known its alright stop crying please your killing me here." as I finish she chuckles and stops crying.
"Ok I'm sorry"
"Its alright Abby anyway about the pups I would love to have pups again but we should probably wait a few months so we can get to know each other better okay?"
"Yeah I didn't mean that we should start making them now I just wanted to see what you thought about them."
"Ok yeah thats what I thought you meant." as I finish I hear law steps and I loo to the den but the steps top short of the entrance so i can't see who it is
"Hello? Andrew? Abby? You two in here?" I hear Garth say
"Yeah we are come on in."
"are you decent?" he says
"I don't know you'd have to ask Abby that." I say with an evil smile on my face and she shoves me and says.
"Yes we are come in."
"Ok." and with that he walks in and I turn to see him and he has a worried look on his face. I notice this as soon as he walks in and I become worried
"What's wrong Garth?" I ask impatient to know why he has that look on his face
"Not much just the fact that we are being threatened with war so we need you." he says
"Oh? Why do you need me?"
" Humphrey said you are smart and a good negotiator so we thought you could help us with getting a peaceful resolution out of it."
"Oh ok that makes sense now, Abby I gotta go."
"Yeah thats alright go ahead see you hear either later or tonight?"
"Yeah don't worry I'll be here." I say nuzzling her then getting up, stretching out and then walking to the entrance and following Garth down the hill towards the southern border.
"So can you give me a background on this pack?"
"Yeah they live in the south, obviously and they see called the hydra pack."
"Why?"
"They have enough wolves that kill one, two replace that one also they make everybody serve in the military so they have a large amount of wolves."
"Oh ok that makes sense have the east or west had any previous conflicts with them?"
"No they we a relatively new pack they showed up about 4 months after me, Lilly, Kate and Humphrey got married and our parents were killed in an ambush by them." he said with sadness and anger leaking into his voice on the last part
"Oh yeah that was when Abbys parents got killed too, man now that you told me that I don't think the nogotiations are going to go well. But yes I'm very sorry for all of you."
"Thanks man it means a lot to me." and with that we walk up a hill and see Humphrey, Kate and Lilly with Hutch and Candu behind them standing across from a grey wolf with patches of white fur and grey eyes with 3 wolves behind him.
"Hey guys I got him." says Garth as we come around the bend.
"Ok thanks garth come over here." says Humphrey and we w,am over nd stand beside them.
"So you are the leader of the hydra pack I assume." I say after a few seconds of silence, I can feel the tension in the air and I try to defuse it before it escalates.
"Yes my name is Slash and yes I do lead the hydra pack."
"Ok so I hear there is threats of war why is that?" I ask
"Well its quite simple actually I don't believe that your "leaders" are fit to lead your pack and I think they would be better off being lead by me rather then 2 alpha-omega couples." he says with s hint of spite in his voice
"Ok now I have your reasoning but is it worth starting a war?"
"Yes because then we are known as the pack that took down the largest pack in history we would also get the caribou fields to our pack after we get rid of the pathetic northerners."
"Ok so you think that either getting rid of our pack or forcing us to join you and taking the northerners down will make you powerful? No, no it doesn't it just makes you power hungry and weak."
"Oh really?"
"Ya really. You have to be a good leader and not do rash decisions like trying to take over not one not two but three packs at once."
"That makes sense but what's to stop me from killing all of you right now?"
"Oh not much except for the 4 best alpha males in the pack and the two best alpha females in the pack so if you can count, your outnumbered."
"Yeah but that's still not reason enough for us not to fight you now."
"Oh come on man what's the point can't we just all live our lives in peace?" I ask getting a little tired of arguing with him.
"Hmm you know what your right there's no point in fighting we can just leave each other alone for now but make sure your pack doesn't do anything wrong or come into my territory."
"Yes we will you just do the same ok?"
"Ok thank you for this meeting sir, and what's your name?"
"My name is Andrew." I say
"Ok thank you Andrew good bye."
"Good bye to you too." and with that we walk away into our own territories.
"Great job Andrew, you defused a war!" says Garth happy that he doesn't have to go to war.
"Yeah man great job." says Humphrey agreeing its Garth
"So what do we do now?"
"I don't know what can we do?"
"Hmmm I have an idea but Andrew you have to go and get Abby." says Kate
"Ok I will but what's your idea?"
"Well let me tell you." she says and begins to explain what her idea is.
