Cause When A Heart Breaks No It Don't Break Even

[Kikiara]

My ears flatten. I am not in the mood. "Stay. But keep the mouthy one quiet. Remember, we're saving you're lives."
I say then walk away about five minutes after Baci left.

I knew this land wasn't loner land but i had to go through here to get there. My black nose caught the sent of a rabbit and I was really hungry. I chased the sent and spooked up the rabbit. My sleek legs carried me faster and soon i could almost grab the fluff that was the rabbits tail.

I weaved between the trees and soon came to an opening in the woods. I noticed a few wolves sitting in a group as i streaked past.
Who are they? I ask myself.
I know i shouldn't have looked back of a second look but I did and next thing i know my face smacks into the rough bark of a tree and my lights go out.

[Nova.]

Oh everytime I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire

Things were playing out in front of me, much of which I did not appreciate. I was being hit on by another alpha whom had a mate. Then, a wise member of my pack smarted off to our saviors. I was not happy. Even after all of this, Kiki still managed to let us stay. I needed to speak with her, then speak with my pack. I glared at Naro, then turned my gaze onto the rest of my pack, as I parted my jowls to speak.

You guys stay here, and I will speak with you all later, and things are going to change.

When I spoke, I spoke between clentched teeth, and nudged Blaze towards Nia. I looked at her with my amber gaze, not saying a word outloud, but silently asking her to keep an eye on him for me. I turned quickly on the tips of my pads, and stared Naro in the eye.

We will speak later.

My amber gaze shifted to the left, where I began to pad off in the direction Kiki left from. When I bouded off beyond the ears of my pack, a loud thud echoed in the empty forest to the left of my glorious tail. It sounded as if someone had collided with a tree.

I take all of it in, silently. I do not speak up because, like me, the alphess seems like she's having a bad day. At least she lets us stay after Naro almost makes her deny in our time of need. I don't hate him for it because she seems like she is a little harsh but I don't believe that's her true personality.

I hear a loud thud and for a moment think of what it could be. A rock being thrown onto the ground, a wolf hitting it's head, something taking a deer down... I shrug and listen to what Defa says. There will be some changes? I don't really understand but it will all unravel in time. I look around and wonder what to do now.

[Nia]

<<Nia>>
Defa seem extremely upset with Naro so i decided to keep my mouth shut and let Defa settle things with Kiki. Defa motions at me to watch Blaze and I tap his shoulder with my paw as if to say "stay close to me".

I hear a loud thud as if something was tossed to the ground with great force and I noticed a tree's leaves tremble just a bit. I really didn't know what it was so I kept my mind on what was happening here not there.

Someday soon, someday soon.
Seasons were made for the change.
You will be there.
Just like the night to the day without a care.
The dark goes before the dawn.
Open up your eyes.

Kiki's attention soon snaps to me, and then words start to spill from her maw uncontrollably. She's very angry, having been embarrassed before everyone for her ignorant and blind faith in Baci. I do not smile at my small victory, though, but rather keep a grim face. I stand strong and unmoved as I glance to my right to see Nia flattening her ears in annoyance at me. She's so young though, she doesn't understand what it's like to stand up for a pack. The sandy brown Beta female was inexperienced and weak, as far as I was concerned, and I was saving her a lot of trouble. But she didn't know that, and wouldn't recognize it, because she'd rather bow down than to fight.

I could hear Blaze moving restlessly once more, and knew he was scared of what was going to happen to us. My sapphire gaze has focused back on Kiki though, but flicked to Baci occasionally. Yet it was the shadow black female that spoke up next, with her warning to me. I lowered my head and snarled back at her, my hackles raising and my teeth bared. She had not been introduced and had not authority over me, I would fight if she threatened me again.
Though it wasn't the unknown member of the Thunder pack that stepped forward to address me, but rather Baci himself. The pure white male walked right up to me, and spoke as if he actually had some honor. I was arrogant enough to think he was just all talk, but I soon felt the swipe of a paw across my maw.
I was shocked, the pain absent for the moment as I tried to figure out what had happened. By the time the black that had blinded my vision subsided, and my ears stopped ringing, the Alpha of the Thunder pack had fled the clearing, and his Alpha female was not far behind him. More threats followed, as did words that were supposed to make us grateful, but instead enraged me. My head snaps up, just in time to hear a dull thud in the near distance.

I shake the observation away just in time for Defa to finally speak up again. She is as mad as Kiki, and I bow my head before her seething mahogany gaze. When she directs her words right to me, I shrink down in size a little, my aggression deflating as I show respect and submission to my own Alpha female. Then she turns her back, and disappears into the brush in the direction that Kiki went.
I straighten up, glancing back toward Ash and then over toward Nia, who had Blaze right at her side now.
" I shouldn't have to protect your mate from other males, Ash. You should have stepped up to defend Nia and act like you had some courage. Some Beta you are. " I spit my words at the quiet Beta male of my own pack. I was sickened by all of the foolishness and weakness around me. I wanted to be back in my homeland, where a wolf actually had a heart that shined with pride for their family and protected each other. Not here, who pups ruled packs and everyone ran around with their tail between their legs.

I didn't say a word to Naro. He was being quite rude today. And I'm not going to explode and get onto some wolf that I don't know just because he looked at my mate. Sure, if he tries to talk her into mating I may step in and attack him but not just for looking at her. Especially when they save our lives.
