It seemed my life was over. A wolf was stalking me. I have a brother that I've never knew about, and I'm about to die from shock because of the brother thing, and a lot more.

"Um, thanks for telling us this, Shane. And nice to meet you. Now, I think Overrated and I should better go.." Ryan said slowly when Shane had finished talking. "See you later.."

I glanced at Shane one last time, saying nothing, and turned to walk the other direction.

"Nice to meet you too," Shane spoke in his low voice once again. "Overrated, I hope you know this, but your brother loves you.. A lot.."

I ignored him and kept walking away. It felt as if my heart was going to explode in my chest. I had so much emotion inside.

I heard Ryan, not to far behind me, taking slow steps, twigs snapping under his feet..

About three minutes later, Ryan finally caught up to me.

"Over, I need to talk to you.." He said, out of breathe from running.

"Um, okay.." I stopped instantly and turned to face him. "What about?"

"About me and you. I think it maye be time...for....us to make a...pack.." He said slowly, not knowing how to say the words correctly.

"Well...okay.." I smiled.

60 DAYS LATER

I was getting really fat.. In about three days, I would be due, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Every so often I could feel the pups kicking inside me. It tickled.

"How the little ones doing, sweetie?" Ryan asked curiously. I let him call me whatever he wanted, because, well, we were mates now, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I got used to him calling me that.

"They're doing good. They are kicking like crazy! It feels weird."

"That's a good sign," Ryan chuckled. "Now, lets go back to our den. You should get some rest."

"Okay," I smiled and struggled onto my feet. We were a few feet away from the tiny den, and by the time I reached it, I was out of breath from working so hard.

I climbed into the den and lied down instantly. I could hardly even stand in it, anyway.

All of the sudden I felt a sharp pain in my belly. I yelped in pain as Ryan immediatly poked his head through the entrance.

"The pups comeing?" He asked, concerned.

"I think so.." I panted and shifted back and forth, uncomfortable. "But, Ryan, I'm three days early!"

"I don't think that will hurt anything honey.. It will be alright, I'm here.."

THE NEXT DAY

This morning I woke to little cries in the den, the sign of a new generation. I hardly remembered the night before, but that it was really long and tireing.

I ripped open my eye lids and saw four little black pups, nursing.

The first one I saw first was a female. She had pitck black fur like the two of us, but had a dark brown-ish, almost-red left ear. She was big in size, but looked sweet and gentle.

The next was a male. He too had black fur, except for a white tipped tail.

The next one was the smallest, another female. She had dark, rich brown fur. Her two front legs were black, along with a black stripe down her tail.

The forth was a male. He had a white underbelly, and one white paw.

They were all very beautiful, but one stood out to me. The first little pup, with the brown-ish red ear.

I instantly knew what to name her, Blood Angel. It fit her perfectly. Red, the color of blood, and Angel, for the sweet little innocent look on her face.

"Well hello sleepy head!" Ryan poked his head in the opening of the den. He spoke full of cheer. He was really excited. "How the pups holdin' up?"

"They're doing great. I just woke up. They are just beautiful.." I said as I glanced at the little balls of fuzz at my belly and smiled. "Do you mind catching me a hare or two? I'm starving." I said as my stomach growled hungrily.

"One hare, coming right up!" Ryan said as he trotted off into the forest.

"Well, pups, welcome to the world. And make sure you don't act like me," I said to them. "Please make sure I don't treat you guys like my mother and father did to my brother and I. And if we do, please, please, run away.." I sighed and layed my head down on my paws.

I realized I still haven't met Kahitra. Now I have a new goal, to finally meet the brother I never knew.

I sat in wonder for several minutes while my pups nursed happily by their mother's side.

I wondered what he acts like. He's probably just like me. He's probably big, strong and brave. He's probably wishing he knew his sister like I wish I knew him. He's probably sitting in wonder right now, think, missing, trying to find the missing link in his life. His family.
