If you haven't read my other story 'Love from you is all I need' then you should probably read that one first before reading this or else it won't make much sence. Other than that, read on and enjoy.
I sat on the edge of the train and watched as trees zoomed past on the outside of the large machine. I was enjoying the large breeze hitting me in the face with . I was keeping a look out for a place I hadn't been to in a long, long while. Not since I ran away from it a long time ago.
About four years ago I took off away from my home of Jasper Park. I left all of my friends behind and never looked back. I did often miss some of my friends, especially three omega buddies. Of course I didn't do this alone.
I took a look back to see my beautiful mate sleeping peacefully. I smiled happily as I reflected on the past couple years we spent together. When I ran away, she decided to come with me. Apparently, she found out that she loved me and chased me down before I could get info the train by myself. There we revealed our true feelings for each other. But I had my doubts about our relationship, we couldn't be mates or even show any effect on to each other without being ripped apart from one another because of me being an omega and her being an alpha.
But she made a very big compromise so that we could be together. She said that she would run away with me and that's what we did. We left Jasper and went to Sawtooth and hadn't been back since.
But that was the problem, we haven't seen anybody we knew for a long time. Its just been Kate and I since we left. Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I looked over to the other side of the train cart and smiled even more. Over there curled up together were my four children. Dakota, Hannah, Katie and Blaze oldest to youngest in that order.
Kate gave birth to them a little less than two years ago. That was the happiest day of our lives. Raising them was the best, most fun and most stressful time of our lives. But in the end it was all worth it. The outcome was four wonderful pups that grew up into fine young adult's.
They were also another reason why we brought them. The only wolves they've seen was each other and Kate and I. They have never met another wolf in their lives. We felt that it didn't seem fair to them. They were growing up and they needed to start thinking about getting mates. They can't do that in a place where there art any other wolves.
I looked back out of the train and saw a very familiar looking place. It was a really large lake the flowed beneath the bridge. This was the place where Kate and I first howled with each other. It brought another smile to my face.
"Now, why does this look so familiar?" I heard a voice from behind me ask.
"Don't tell me you don't recognize the place where we first howled with each other." I said to Kate as she sat down next to me.
"Of course I didn't. I was just messin with you." She told me leaning against me and giving me a kiss.
I gladly accepted it and we sat there passionately kissing one another.
"Eww, get a room you two!" We heard Blaze call from across the cart.
We came out of the kiss and chuckled. "You say that now, but eventually you'll have a mate of your own and you'll be doing the same thing." I told him.
He got up and stretched while releasing a yawn. "Yah, I know. But it'll always be disgusting when you two do it." He said coming up next to us.
"Whatever, just because you don't like to see it don't mean we won't do it." Kate said giving me another quick kiss.
He made a sound of disgust and quickly averted his eyes.
"Still acting immature are we Blaze." Another voice spoke up.
We all looked back and saw Dakota walking towards us.
"Hey Kota, how you do in this fine morning?" Blaze asked.
Dakota eyed him suspiciously,"Fine, what are you up to?" He asked.
Blaze is known by the family for his pranks he loves to pull on all of us. Its one of his only forms of entertainment back in Sawtooth. And everyone knew when he started talking like this that he was up to something. But we have been on this train for quite awhile, what could he possibly do.
"Oh, nothing. Anyway, good thing we have this to travel in. Last nights storm was terrible. But good thing we're all in here. Everyone, dry." He started to say slowly.
Dakota just looked at him confused, what was he getting at.
"It would be a shame if everyone got, wet" He said and then proceeding to hurl a rock at the top of the cart. We all looked up to see leaves up in the rafters, dripping water.
Dakota eyes became wide with realization and he tried to escape but he was too late. The rock hit the leave knocking them out of place and loads of water poured down on Dakota and their sisters.
Within seconds the girls were screaming from the shock of the water hitting them, and without even thinking both of them yelled at the same time,"Blaze!"
While they yelled that, Blaze was rolling around on his back laughing his head off. Dakota just looked at him with annoyance. Yep, just a normal day in this family.
After Blaze calmed down Dakota asked him a question. "How were you even able to pull that off. It doesn't make any sence."
"A master pranker always comes prepared." He said.
"Whatever, I don't even want to know anyway." He said as he tried to shake dry.
"You know this is why they dislike you so much." I told them.
"Yah, but I know they love me." he said smugly.
We all just rolled our eyes, some of us out of anger and the others just because this was a classic Blaze thing.
After everyone calmed down and got dry, we all sat down by the doors of the train cart. We were all anticipating the sight of Jasper and couldn't wait to get off this stuffy old train. I couldn't wait to see all the old sights that made Jasper so beautiful and to see all my old friends, hoping that they are still around.
"Tell us again about Jasper dad. I want to hear about it one more time before I actually see it." Katie said.
I nodded my head,"Ok, I can do that. Jasper is a place of thriving life, from the smallest of animals to the tallest of trees. Everything there is colorful and has a lively feeling to it. There is a vast valley that stretches for miles that contains a wide variety of flowers and other growth. I honestly think it'd way more beautiful that Sawtooth, but that's just my opinion." I told them.
"I can't wait to finally see this place. I've heard so many stories about this place and the wolves that live here. Being able to see our grandparents for the first time will be great. I just can't wait to get off this train." Hannah said.
After she said that a sign zipped past us. I only saw it for a few moments but I knew exactly what it said. 'Welcome to Jasper Park'
"We're nearly there. Only a few more moments and we'll be able to jump off right into the western territory. Hopefully many even the western and eastern territory." Kate told them.
She put a very big emphasis on 'hopefully' and I knew exactly why. For weeks after we left Jasper she would have these nightmares that all sowed all the Jasper wolves battling. It was a 'bloody massacre' as she explained it. She thought that she was seeing the truth and blamed herself since she was the one that was supposed to unite the packs by the marriage of her and Garth. And she thought that since she left an all out war broke out.
She told me that it hadn't been the first time she had a dream like this. She told me on the way back from Sawtooth the first time that she had a dream of a battle in the valley where she was supposed to marry Garth.
I kept on trying to tell her that it was just a dream and that she was just making a big deal out of nothing. For awhile she didn't belive me, but over time she stopped having the nightmares and she believed me that everything was fine.
I looked over to her and gave her a reassuring smile, telling her everything was fine. She smiled back and nodded. All this was done in silence so the kids didn't see or hear a thing.
All of a sudden I got a gust of a familiar scent hit my nose. I looked over at Kate and saw that she smelled it too.
"This is where we get off." I told everyone as I stood up and got ready to jump off the train.
Everybody got up and at the same time we all jumped off the train and onto solid ground. I heard a loud thud off to my right and I looked over and saw Blaze lying on the ground.
We all laughed a little as he picked himself off the ground and brushed himself off.
"Oh, ha ha ha, no one come to help me up or anything, I'm fine." He said sarcastically.
"Oh your fine you big baby." Dakota teased which in return got Blaze to just roll his eyes.
"Come on you two, stop your bickering and let's get going." I told them as we started to walk.
As we walked no one talked. We just traveled in silence, probably because everyone was a bit nervous about this. Kate and I were coming back to a place that we haven't been to in years, we didn't know how others would react to out return. Then there were the kids. This was new territory for them. They've never been outside of Sawtooth. It must be nerve racking for them to be in a new place like this. US this will be the first time they get to see another wolf besides us.
When we walked for a while and we saw no signs of anyone else, we knew something was wrong. This is Jasper, a place full of wolves. If we get this deep into the territory and see no one then somethings wrong.
I looked over to Kate and saw that she had a worried look on her face. She knew that something was wrong too.
We knew for sure that something was terribly wrong when we got to the main pack area and we saw no one there. It was completely vacant. No one was in sight of this place.
"Where I'd everybody?" Katie asked, everyone else also wanting to know.
"I, I don't know. Everyone is gone." Kate said, a tear falling from her eye.
But she spoke to soon. From behind us we head a bush rustle. We all quickly flipped around and looked at the bush.
I smelled around and caught the scent of another wolf, actually multiple wolves.
"Come on out, we know you're there." Kate called out to them.
"You sure that's a good idea Kate?" I whispered to her.
She looked at me and nodded.
Then out from the bush came a wolf, and then another and then another and so on and so forth until in front of us stood around ten, maybe twelve wolves.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here." A wolf asked, obviously the leader. There was actually something familiar about him.
"We were just coming to visit. We had family here but this place seems to be abandoned." I told him.
"Not entirely. There are a few of us that still live around here. There were more a couple of years ago but a war was started and wiped nearly everyone out." He said.
Kate gasped and brought a paw up to her mouth. I knew exactly what she was thinking.
"May I ask why this war started." I asked, dreading the answer.
"Because a wolf ran away from her arranged marriage. The eastern leader had a giant fit and he declared war on the west." He told us.
I had a feeling he was going to say that. Before I could say anything, I saw take off the other way.
"Kate, wait." I said as I started chasing after her. From behind me I heard the wolf from earlier say, "Wait, Kate?"
I just ignored it and continued my pursuit on Kate.
Hey everyone, I'm here with another story. This is just a little short story that will only have one more chapter. I couldn't stop thinking about this and I needed to write some sort of add on to my other one-shot 'Love from you is all I need'
Hope you all enjoyed it, there will be one more chapter up soon.
Thanks for reading please review.
