The moment I saw Ren hit the ground, I felt my stomach plummet. I ran over to his still body. Pushing my nose into his soft fur, I shuttered at how cold he was. My heart pounding, I shifted into my human form, vaguely aware of my father killing off Ren's father.

"Ren?" I spoke," Ren, speak to me, please."

He doesn't say a word. Scared I bite my arm and offer him the blood, he doesn't take it. I looked up as I heard a sigh. I see Adne looking down at us and heard her say," Not you too, Ren."

My father padded over to us, blood splattered over his coat.

"Calla, stop, he's gone." Those words ripped through me.

I saw Shay begin to walk toward us. I stopped him with a growl, Go away! No one shall come near us!

He stopped his eyes full of mirth and sadness. I looked down at Ren's peaceful face as my father says," Come on Calla, we have to finish this."

I get up hesitantly, worried for Ren; however, I know that I need to finish this, for the sake of my pups.

Shay and I are padding through the forest, on the hunt for a deer pack we have been following for more than two days. He stops to sniff the air, trying to catch the deer's sent. I still haven't told him that I am pregnant with Ren's pups, but I know that he'll flip when he finds out. I can't risk him throwing me out of the pack, especially with the harsh winter knocking at our door. Although, lying to him isn't helping with the situation. Shay already knows I am pregnant, however, he thinks they're his, and if I keep letting him think that they are his, our relationship would be based off of a lie.

Sighing, I stop. I'm going to tell him, I have to, it's better for me to tell him then for him to think that the pups are his.

"Shay, I have something I need to tell you…"

Shay turns and gives me an irritated look," Calla, I just got the scent, make this quick!"

Here it goes," Well, you know these pups I've been carrying…"

He snorts," Of course I know about them, what about it, are they OK?"

"Well, yes, but they aren't what you think they are," I gulp.

"What do you mean?" He gives me a confused look.

"Well, you see, they aren't really yours…" I look down to my paws.

I can hear his growl from above me. Looking up, I am scared of what I see. Shay's eyes glow a deep red, and his lips are pulled back to show his sharp teeth.

"What do you mean they aren't mine, who is the real father, then?"

I gulp,"Ren," I whisper.

"WHAT!" He snarls.

I shrink back," Ren, Ren is the father," I say more confidently.

Shay's eyes widen," You WHORE! I can't believe you would mate with that PRICK!"

Shay howls in fury and pounces on me. I yelp as his claws scrape over my eye, and his teeth sink into the soft flesh of my ear. I growl and lash out at him, landing a hit with my sharp claws. Jumping back, he inspects the deep cut on his chest.

Looking at me, eyes red, he growls," Get out of here, you slut! You aren't welcome in this pack anymore, so you can just leave!"

I look at him sadly," Shay, please, I'm sorry…"

"No you're not, if you really loved me, you never would have mated with him, now just leave!"

I lower my head and take a step toward him. With a growl he lunges at me. I jump back and run. He chases me all the way to the border. When I pass into the rouge's territory, I look back at him. He is standing on the edge of my old territory, tears in his eyes. I sniff back a sob, knowing that I did this to myself. Turning, I walk further into rouge land. The only thing on my mind is; what have I done?
