Wolfkin Part 8
Night
Heero stumbled upon the sleeping pair during the early evening. Not wanting to disturb them, he ghosted about the room, searching silently for some unknown item. "You know Heero, for the head of the hunting party, you're not very stealthy." A voice drifted from the bed. The Alpha Male's head shot up and he smiled at the glimmering green eyes that watched him. "Good evening Kurama. How long have you been up?"
"Not long." The fox extracted himself from Duo's hold and stretched. "I'd better go find Hiei, he's bound to be worried about me." Heero nodded. "You have to admit, he's got quite a reason to." Kurama nodded, his face becoming solemn. "I know, but I have a good feeling about this Heero." He began to rub his belly as he spoke. "I don't think my pup will kill me Heero, I just wish everyone else would believe me."
Heero smiled as his gaze shifted to his mate. "I think he believes you." The redhead nodded as he watched Duo move in his sleep. The braided boy mumbled something unintelligible and the others chuckled as he settled back down. Standing, Kurama stretched one last time before hugging Heero and leaving.
His mate, whose face could have scared the hell out of Satan himself, met him outside. "Where the hell have you been?" Kurama lifted an eyebrow. "Considering I just came out of Heero and Duo's den? You'd think that would give you some kind of clue." Hiei growled slightly but his scowl softened when he heard his fox giggle. "You're so silly Hiei. Let's go home."
Back inside the den, Heero was snuggling in behind his mate as he prepared for sleep. "Mmm, Heero?" The Alpha Male gently kissed the nape of his mate's neck as he gently soothed him back to sleep. "Shh, little one, you need your rest." Duo yawned greatly before snuggling back under the large skin that was draped over him and his mate.
Outside, Wufei was watching a certain Delta as he explored the strange village around him. "You should just paint a picture, it'll last you longer." The ebony-eyed boy laughed as he realized he'd been discovered. "You have a very smart mouth Jesse."
"I should, my papa is the most intelligent Delta in our clan." Wufei chuckled as he slid up beside the small boy. "If you watch as the stars come out, you'll be able to see Micara. It's the shooting star that shows summer is fast approaching."
He directed Jesse's attention to the evening sky as he sat them both on the soft ground. The young Delta watched avidly as he waited for the arrival to the fabled 'flying star' of the Eora clan. Wufei, on the other hand, was watching Jesse just as avidly. Timidly, the Beta leader wrapped his arms around his companion's shoulders.
Jesse smiled shyly but snuggled closer into the embrace. He enjoyed being hugged by someone other than his parents or his overprotective brothers, especially if that someone was the intriguing and incredibly handsome ebony haired Beta leader of the Eora Wolfkin Clan.
In yet another burrow, a small blond Healer was snuggling up to his tall brown-haired mate. "Trowa, what do you think they're going to do to those humans?" Trowa shook his head. "I honestly don't know. It'll all be decided tomorrow, you really should put it out of your mind." The Quatre looked affronted at this. "What do you mean 'put it out of my mind'?! Duo is a close friend of mine! If those men had made off with him and the others..."
"Shh, I never meant to offend you, love. I just mean you shouldn't worry. If we all become uptight about this just imagine what it would do to Duo." Seeing his reasoning, Quatre huffed but didn't fight. "I know, but I just wish you'd keep me in the loop." Trowa nodded as he stroked his mate's cheek. "I will, my love. I promise."
TBC...
I'm sorry if this chapter seems to bounce around a little bit, but I was just trying to give everyone a bit of a feel for all of the couples in this story.
Sorry this chapter is late but I'm having computer trouble right now. If all goes according to schedule, the other chapters will be out by Saturday. I'm not going to post a calendar today because if my computer doesn't want to work, I don't want to have posted false dates. Well, hope to post soon! : )
