" I am the Dark Side of Light"

�I am the Dark side of The Light.�

With a chuckle, he replied to my compliment. Well, I am sincere. Of course I know that he knows that he is handsome. Not that he needs to be remembered of that, just� Telling him. My lips pull into a smile as I hop up to the rock where Heyel is. I have had little food in these two years. Hunting is not my best ability and all I had been through didn�t help either. I am very glad that Heyel could share his food with me. I haven�t been so unfortunate like some wolves to become so skinny. I can hunt, but I�m not very good at it. A rabbit like this is a great meal, and share it with a so good friend makes it even more especial. I just wish I could make him happy.

When Heyel asked me my opinion about his capability to lead, I had no single doubt he would be perfectly able to lead a pack again. He had never let any wolf down, never left anyone behind. Out of all the wolves I have seen, Heyel is the best alpha I have ever seen. A fair leader, friend, brother, a big father to all. As for his children? I also believe they would be perfectly capable of leading, for it is in their blood and they have a great father who had always cared. But it is still a bit early. The ivory king still has much more in him. I have been honest in every word I said to him. In reply, he gives me a lick, a soft and cute� Affectionate action. I blush under my dark coat.

- No need to thank me. That�s just the truth, - I told him as he thanked me.

He pauses and I think for a second. I am glad he still believes in himself, although he never lacked any auto-confidence. But something calls my attention. Heyel is the oldest male in Moladion? He doesn�t even look that old. But still� My father was so old and he never had any trouble leading the pack as a tyrant. Hm� His smile seemed to fade into the distance as he started to speak again, his voice softer this time. My head gently tilted to the side once again. I thought every word of his. I waited for him to finish.

- Heyel, - I called, shifting a little bit closer, my voice, sweet and gentle as always - Do you remember when we first met? In that night? I told you about my brother� Sulan. I was after him after he left the pack. I had always admired him and not only because he was my brother. But he had something very few wolves have... Since he was the prince and the only male in the litter, he suffered for us all. Two years of pressure it had been and he barely could sleep. And then, two years of fights and training. He had to fight against our dad until he could not stand anymore nearly every day. I took care of his wounds after the fights, as a healer apprentice. I heard him cry in pain for long nights. He howled and whimpered, saying how badly it hurt� But�- I paused just for a second as the memories came back to my mind, looking away for an instant. My gaze returned to his again and I proceeded - He would just say how great would it be when he could be the king, and how badly he wished for dad to be proud of him� He never stopped trying until his training was over�

I paused for a second.

- And I admire you as well� Because you never let anyone down, you never left anybody behind. You have always been there. You are a great leader and you have done so much for us� But why not try it a little bit more? One or two years perhaps? Maybe a few months? - I smiled warmly and then proceeded - And Heyel! You can always share these thoughts with me whenever you want. Whenever you want to talk, I will be there.

I would always be here for him, as he had been there for me.

Only then, I ask to be with him for some time. But, well� Where else would I go? Or who would I talk to? Heyel accepts my presence and my tail waves behind me. He offers me another bite of the rabbit and I take it�

A few seconds later, I remember about one thing. Not that I ever forgot�

- Heyel� - I called out, my voice softer and even more gentle as my eyes flooded with only concern, - I am very sorry for your mate. If there is anything I can do�

Sometimes wolves seem to forget that the alpha has feelings, that the alpha is also a normal wolf and he has his own life. But I never forgot. I have always noticed how much Zeivah means to Heyel. And I needed him to know, that I remember, that I care. I wish to comfort him� I wish I could relieve his pain, and if there is anyway I can do this, I will do it for him.
