Jacob followed me inside the house. Mark had cooked breakfast for all of us and looked surprised at the new face. I informed him that Jacob would be joining our pack. Mark nodded and gave him a plate with food. Jacob thanked him before taking the full plate. I saw my twin girls sitting in their playpen, giggling. I walked over to them and kissed their little heads. They glanced up at me and started to baby-chat with me, still giggling. Samantha gave me a full plate of food and thanked me. I ate and watched my girls. I miss Iris.... I bet that the twist misses her, too... Jacob asked me how to become a member of the pack, and I believe I know how he could prove himself to me. I looked up at Jacob. ´I have a test for you, you see, my girlfriend, the mother of my twin girls, is missing. I want you to find her. That is how you can prove yourself to me.´ I added, and he looked up with a hint of excitement and nodded at the request.
I went upstairs to grab a shirt that belonged to Iris and returned to the rest. I gave the shirt to Jacob so he would know how she smelled. He took his time to remember her smell after making sure that he knew her smell, and he ate fast before running off into the woods. I watched him go with a sigh and new hope. Samantha sat next to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I placed my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes. Small tears ran out of my eyes. I hate crying..
Jacob POV
After the delicious breakfast, I ran out into the woods and changed into my wolf form and started to sniff in the air. I picked up her scent. It was weak and very old, I snarled before sprinting to the scent. It took me a day or two before getting closer and closer to the scent. I slowed down and glanced around, I saw white fur...beautiful white fur near a river....I stepped closer carefully, and I saw a beautiful white wolf sleeping....the white fur was covered in old blood. I took a sniff and it was her....I found the Luna of the pack. I carefully approached her, and her body flew up in the air, ready to attack. She was snarling and baring her teeth at me, so I lay down and showed my belly to her. I submitted to her, she glanced at me before walking up to me and sniffing me.
I saw her body relax, and she licked my cheek in an apology, I assume. I slowly got up and sat down on the ground. We stared at each other. I got up and took a couple of steps back before waiting for her. She stepped forward with me, and I took her back to the pack. It took us around two days to get there. I howled, letting Alpha Kale know that I´m back. Before I knew The Pack, Luna got tackled by Alpha Kale to the ground. They spent some time rolling, nipping, and licking each other´s ears and cheeks. Some time later, they both turned back into their human forms, and she looked beautiful.. ´I can't believe that I have you finally back in my arms...´ The Alpha said, hugging her, she melted in his arms.
Kale POV
He has been gone for 4 days... I started to lose hope again. I got up from the couch, about to check on the twins, when I heard his howl. I sniffed the air and I smelled Iris... I ran out and changed fast into my wolf. I ran as fast as I could to them. I turned around the corner and I saw her... right by his side... I ran to her and tackled her to the ground. She growled at me before realizing who I was. We rolled around, licked, and nipped each other from happiness. Some time later, we both changed back, and I wrapped my arms around her waist immediately. ´I can't believe that I have you finally back in my arms...´ I spoke up, she just melted into my embrace.
I kissed the top of her head. After the kiss, I glanced back at Jacob and nodded at him. ´Thank you so much... you returned your Pack Luna to me... Tonight, we will celebrate a new member of the pack.´ I announced to him, he changed back into human form and smiled. ´Alpha Kale... How about we do that tomorrow night? Don´t get me wrong, I appreciate it, but I'm beat. And I believe that the Luna of the pack is tired as well.´ He responded to me with respect. I thought for a while before nodding with a smile. I picked her up and she yelped from the suddenness. I carried her in my arms back to the house with Jacob walking behind us. I kept my eyes on Iris....
She nuzzled against my chest with a soft but tired smile. I noticed that she was dirty and that she needed medical attention. Her wounds don't look clean, I hope that she didn't get any infections. As soon as I got into the house, Samantha ran to us with a first aid kit. ´What? You thought that she would come back without any wounds? ´Pfffff. Kale, if you think that way, then you don't know me at all.´ She snorted, before taking Iris out of my arms before I could protest. Samantha placed Iris gently on the couch, she hugged Iris softly. Iris hugged her back before letting Samantha attend to her wounds. Luckily, none of them were too deep.
Samantha wrapped Iris well up before cleaning up and walking away. I sat down next to her, and she leaned against me. When Jacob walked past us, she grabbed his hand, making him stop in his tracks. ´Thank you, dear....Welcome to the pack´ She whispered in a tired yet happy tone. Jacob smiled at her and gave her a small bow. She let go of his hand, and he walked off. Not long after he left, I heard a yawn coming from her. I glanced down, and she started to doze off. I smiled and shifted her gently into my embrace, placing her in a comfortable position on my lap.
