Quote:Chayton whined, pacing away from the den. Elan smiled, concerned. "Hey, brother, something seems wrong. Wanna tell me about it?" he encouraged, giving his a playful paw on the shoulder. Chayton grimaced. "I love Nikki." he blurted, then sighed. "She's the prettiest wolf I've ever seen, and because of that, I can't bring myself to ask her to be my mate! I don't deserve to have her as my mate." he said sadly, groaning. Little did he know, his frustrated voice had drifted to the alpha den.....
Nikki's ears lifted, then drooped again. "Why won't he ask me, then?!" She snapped to herself. "He knows that I love him! I've asked him before, and he didn't answer! Don't I at least deserve an answer?!" Nikki grit her teeth, whining sadly. "Doesn't he care?!" As she hadn't exactly watched the volume of her voice, it drifted right back out.
"Nikki..." Autumn only watched her sister sadly. She didn't really know what to tell her; she'd never gone through this with Elan. She nuzzled her sister affectionately, and Nikki sighed.
Chayton grimaced. "Elan.... I absolutely adore her. She's wonderful.... but I-" he cut himself off, looking angrily at the floor. Elan sidled up to him, putting a large paw on his brother's shoulders. "Ask her, Chayton. You'll be glad you did." he told him in a hushed tone. Chayton nodded. "I will Elan.... I will."
Nikki left Autumn and Elan's den, going to sit by the river. She swirled her paws around in the water, watching the tiny fish frantically swim away. A breeze ruffled her fur, and she looked up at the sky. The clouds were gathering, and becoming darker. The wind carried a smell of rain, and many wolves in Thunderpack raised their heads at the sudden scent.
