I invited my pack over to my house, to discuss further things and just be girls for a day, after all we were skipping school and it was Friday. I invited Laila but she said no because they were having spelling bee tryouts. I was suspicious because I wasn’t even sure we had a spelling bee. We decided to tan at my house on the lawn and talk about random crap, even though there was a giant pool and tanning chairs. We laid there for hours, 2 to be exact, then got up and changed into wolves and trotted into the forest in search of Erik and his pack. It was funny, we all had black hair so we were all black wolves. It’s not always the color of your hair that makes the color of your fur. My electric blue eyes, seemed neon in the daylight, but at night, it seemed I had none at all, my eyes were so black. Rhylinn spoke up her pink, wet, nose in the air. “I found a bear scent I think, –she sniffed again- it’s fresh.”
I tested the air and sure enough there was the stench of bear. I looked ahead through the trees at Erik’s camp, wolves walking around following commands, or just relaxing in the sunlight. I gave a high pitched howl that only wolves could hear. If humans heard us howl in the daylight – we’d be toast.
Erik’s lead fighter trudged out of the entrance – there was a quarry but it dried up, leaving only its walls. There were bushes in a small cave opening, like tunnel. “Lithium, nice to see you,” Said Josh, a sleek but muscley grey wolf. He turned around and led us into Erik’s domain.
I nodded to the rest of the pack to let them socialize and not to follow me and headed to Erik’s -ehem- our den. A slight climb up the side of the wall, for humans it would be impossible, then an indent in the quarry’s wall made up his den. I walked into the dark cave, my eyes seemingly glowing. Erik growled, and stalked out of the darkness, playfulness in his eyes. I growled louder causing our packs to look up at us. He barked and lunged at me, I swiftly moved out of the way then jumped to the ground landing perfectly and walking away from the cliff.
He jumped and landed on my shoulders and gently bit into the back of my neck. I used my back legs and kicked like a bull, then flipped onto my back, squirming like I had an itch. Our packs enjoying the friendly fight began to bark. Erik wriggled out from under me and jumped while I was still on my stomach. I rolled and then jumped on his shoulders. What was the point of this? It was a game, the first one to put the other into a killing position, biting the throat or slicing the eyes, wins. I jumped off his back, my force knocking him down. I ricocheted off a rock and pinned him down his back to the ground. I bent down and gently bit his neck as he put his paws to my eyes.
Everyone froze, he took his paws off and I let go. He stood up and licked my cheek I wagged my tail in return, our way of saying ‘good game’. Young Rayne, her eyes bright spoke up first. “Who won?” She said putting her brown paw in the air then back down. Patch looked at her. “It’s a tie,” The reddish brown wolf said, Zack and Shane agreed. (Zack-brown, white star on chest, brother to Shane- brown and has a white underbelly and front right paw.
“Anyway, we came by to warn you that, there is a bear that passed by not too long ago, the scent was fresh.” Erik walked over to me and whispered “I know, we could smell it too, we think that it might not be a bear and just might be a wolf from Perfected Secrets that had recently killed a bear and rolled in it to disguise its smell.” I backed up and looked him in the eyes and nodded. “Come on guys,” I let my pack go first and as I left Erik swiped me on the butt and I growled lowly.
--~*~--
Erik and I sat on my bed, me sitting criss-cross-applesauce hugging a pillow to my chest. Erik on the end of my bed, feet dangling of the bed and laying down on the bed. My birthday … I didn’t get anything because tomorrow I would have a pack. Erik and I got ‘humanly’ married yesterday. He reached up and grabbed my knee, I flinched and moved it back. “So is the name Darkened Light okay with you?” He nodded sleepily.
We finished talking about everything else besides that and if we wanted to find a new territory or just use his or do both. “What about territory? I think we should combine lands.” Erik nodded again. I hit him in the face with the pillow. “Lazy ass,” He grabbed another pillow and sat up. “What did you just call me?” I smirked. “A… lazy… ass!” Then hit him in the head again. He took my pillow and shoved it in my face and pushed me down.
He climbed on top of me and took the pillow off, his face inches from mine. I closed my eyes and sighed giving into him. I blinked my eyes, enough to see him smirk. He leaned closer and breathed on my neck, giving me chills down to my toes. He grazed me on my lips, and then kissed me. He smelled like old spice with a hint of forest smell. His tongue touched my lips one part of me
a) Wanted to let him do whatever,
b) Push him off and walk away.
Unfortunately for me I did both - I let him kiss me like that then I kissed him back. He crushed his lips harder against mine and I pushed him off and walked to the bathroom. I would be caught dead doing… that. I splashed water on my face and brushed my teeth. I walked back to my room where Erik was already sleeping on my queen sized bed. He had one arm under his head and one across my pillow, I climbed on and lie on my side and put my face in the nape of his neck then curled my legs close to me. I felt him sneeze … or was it a laugh?
--~*~--
I walked in between the rows of wolves on either side of me. There waiting, at the end of the line of wolves was Erik sitting on a rock. With a rock of equal height across from him, above him my parents shared a large rock. I bet to them I looked like a black walking blob. The midnight moon shown down on me giving me a slight figure. I jumped easily up on the rock across from my soon to be mate. I looked up and smiled at my dad, he looked down at me and smiled quickly before starting. My mother almost started crying, her black and grey speckled wolf and light pastel eyes made her seem so beautiful in the moonlight. My dad’s large black wolf, with blue eyes made him handsome.
“Welcome wolves of Darkened Souls, Darkened Guilt, Darkened Hope, and my daughter, Lithium’s, pack – Darkened Light. Tonight we are here to merge 2 packs or ours, and then become mates.” He turned and looked at me.
“Lithium Destinee Harper Alexander Hutford, for years on end you will be loyal to your mate?”
“Yes,”
“Lithium Destinee Harper Alexander Hutford, for years on end you promise to be loyal to your pack, Darkened Light?”
“Yes,”
“Lithium Destinee Harper Alexander Hutford, will you protect your pack and pups with your life?”
“Yes,”
The males had a different testimony than the girls and I was technically second in charge but, everyone knew that I would be in charge. Dad put his giant paw on top of my head, God, I hate this part! I thought, He slid his paw against my cheek, then unsheathed his claws and cut my face so exactly 3 drops of blood came out. I winced a tiny bit, because his claws were like a million knives. The 3 drops of blood landed, in a puddle of water, they did not mix with the water they sat there. He turned to Erik, I gave a faint smile.
“Erik Dan Hutford, for years on end will you be loyal to your mate?”
“Yes,”
“Erik Dan Hutford, for years on end will you be loyal to your pack, Darkened Light?”
“Yes,”
“Erik Dan Hutford, will you protect, your Alphaness with your life?”
“Yes,” My dad then again, put his paw on Erik’s skull, then to his cheek and cut it, with 3 drops of blood landing next to mine. My dad then mixed the blood and water together making it a sticky paste. Erik and I both put our paws in, and put it on each other’s face, leaving a red paw imprint. Then, waited for our platter, we locked eyes, out of the corner of my eye I watched my mother jump down from her rock, then return with a flat rock and placed in front of Erik and I. We dipped our paws in again then pressed them on the rock.
“If any rules are broken, if any promises are broken, we will shatter this and will banish the wolf unworthy of being in our presence. Understood?”
“Yes,” Erik and I and said at the same time. My mother and father smiled.
“Go home with your pack,” My mother said softly, which meant lead your new pack home.
Erik and I jumped off the rock and started off at a trot. The rest of the pack stayed behind, to give us some privacy. Erik nudged me, and smiled. “You made out with me yesterday,-” I glared at him. “-you French kissed me,” I swiped my paw out, making him stumble over it. “Shut up!” He smirked and stuck his paw out trying to make me trip. I jumped and starting running. I heard Erik grunt trying to catch up, which made me speed up even more. Did you know I’m as fast as my dad, he’s lightning and I can keep up with him. Erik was about 2 feet behind me but I skidded to a halt. Bryn turned and looked at me. “You okay?”
“You know where it is, lead the pack, I can’t do this right now.”
Being the most awesome Co-Alpha ever, she licked my ear and howled taking the lead as Erik run up next to me. I sighed and walked on the trail to the territory. Erik walked so close to me his fur was warming me. “I’m sorry,” he said softly head down and walking in sync with me. When I didn’t respond he licked my clean cheek. “Lithium, I know you don’t love me but … I love you.”
“Just go catch up with pack.”
“No, today … tonight’s supposed to be me and you together.” That was the one thing I needed right now, I leaned up against him. When we go to the territory I stood up straight. “Aww I liked cuddling,” He said with a smirk. I turned around and slapped him in the face and said. “Shut! Up! I can’t believe my parents chose you, you friggin pig!” He showed a
