At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.
Caring Mate IP: 69.50.50.124 Posted on December 20, 2014 at 08:27:43 PM by Whispering Shadows
Whispering Shadows nuzzled Alisen back, glad she stopped the fight. He looked at her siblings, and pride surged through him. He tensed as he heard Centauri growl.
"You need a she-wolf to stop your fights?" he taunted.
"No," Whispering Shadows countered slowly. "But she has made it clear she has more brains than you."
Alpha Centauri's eyes widened, and his ears slanted back, as his gaze whipped around over his group members. They all stared curiously at the five wolves in the sandy clearing. His gaze then fell on Alisen and Whispering Shadows and narrowed.
"This isn't over, not until you have your attack." Alpha Centauri growled, shaking out his blood stained pelt. He padded stiffly over to the edge of the sand, and padded silently past his group. The members of The Stars stared at Whispering Shadows and Alisen a moment longer, before turning and slowly following their leader back to the large rock.
Whispering Shadows nuzzled his mate once again. "Thank you, Alisen." his gaze swept his mate and her siblings. "I am so grateful I have met such caring, brave, and loyal wolves."
He touched his nose gently to Sunny and Shadow's ears, before pressing gently against his mate. As he turned to head back to their shady tree, Swift Wind's voice called to him. He turned as she trotted over, her green eyes disapproving.
"You are lucky there are no other males among the Stars old enough to take Centauri's place. You have pushed down his rank, and it will take him a while before he can regain the respect of our group." she growled.
"If I am not correct, he was the one to challenge us."
"You accepted."
"I could not decline. I simply asserted my dominance."
"But you have to wish to take control of our group!" Swift Wind eyes flared with anger.
"No, I don't. But if I had let him win, he would have taken over my group, and probably disperse of Sunny. I would never let that happen." Whispering Shadows growled, losing his patience with his sister. "There will not be another fight unless he leaves us in peace."
"There will not be peace until one male takes over another group."
"I do not wish to take over another group!" Whispering Shadows snapped at his sister. "Now go back to them, and tell Alpha Centauri to get over his traditions. Not every wolf is as ambitious as he. Tell him to stop acting like such a pup."
And with that, Whispering Shadows turned from his sister, and padded away, rage and sorrow flooding through him. He sat down in the shade, gazing out across the lake, as memories of his younger years came back to him. Replies:
