Okay guys i am going to be putting up the new chapters here!! XD
Chapter 18
Aden stalked toward Ilaris den. Why had he come back? He could have kept going and yet when Shadow had said Ilari was looking for him he couldnt go. He wouldnt go. He growled in frustration. What was going on?
He cast a glance back at Ilari and Hunter. The large gray and white wolf was getting very cozy with Ilaris shoulder. He whipped his face forward. What did it matter to him? The only relation he had to Ilari was going to be her murderer. He stopped for a moment. That word stuck with him. Murderer he muttered. He stalked in to Ilaris den and lay in the corner he had before. He glanced back outside. The sun was now casting the shadows toward the east. It would be time for the hunt soon.
He rested his head on to his paws and the heavy metal color around his neck scraped the ground. Once again the word murderer came in to his mind. This was bad, for some odd reason he hated that word. Before this mission it had never bothered him. Now when he thought of the mission it made his stomach clench in disgust.
He thought more about the odd feeling that had crept over him while he had seen Ilari and Hunter snuggling. He frowned and sighed heavily. What did it matter? As soon as he completed the mission this would all be history. A shadow crept across the entrance to the den and Aden lifted his head. He expected to see Ilaris innocent face appear but it wasnt hers. It was older and more mature. The coloring was lighter and held a scowl.
Adens neck fur bristled but he kept silent. "Have you seen Ilari?" Destiny asked.
Aden turned his face away, "Nope." He said in irritation.Destinys eyes narrowed.
Oh I get it. She scoffed. Aden narrowed his eyes back.
"Get what?" he asked with a bored tone.
"That youre jealous of course." She smiled wickedly. Jealous. That would not leave his mind. He rose to his feet and glared at the she wolf. He stalked forward and stopped so his nose was and inch from hers.
"Watch your tongue." He snarled viciously, "There are some who are waiting to tear it out." His jaws parted in to a heartless grin so that his fangs glinted in the dark. Destiny lowered herself a bit and laid her ears back against her head. Her eyes stretched open with a bit of fear. "If I wanted to," He chuckled, "I could take her. It would be so easy." His eyes glittered his evil intent. Destiny crouched lower now. "Do you believe me? I can see it in your eyes. You know I could do it." He towered over her. Destinys eyes couldnt leave his deep blue ones. Her breathing became shallow.
Aden licked his jaws as if he was looking at a piece of fresh killed prey. Aden narrowed his eyes and the grin left his face. "What are you?" Destiny whispered. Her eyes stretched wide in shock.
"I am a..." murderer. He knew that was the only word that could sum up what he was. "I am a servant to my master. Nothing more." His hungry gaze grew bored. The spell his eyes had put on her now vanished. He could see that she was able to move now. "Get out." He commanded. Destiny was shaking now. Aden almost gasped. Her face was too similar to Ilaris. It was as if he was staring to the future. This would be the same look on Ilaris face as he leaned in to finish his mission. He turned from her and stalked back in to the den. He lay down and rested his head on his paws to think about what he had just done. He heard paws scrape the floor as Destiny scrambled away. I am a monster.
For any one who still cares about this story here is chapter 19!!!
Chapter 19
Ilari sat on the crest of the hill. Hunter had left a little while ago to go make preparations with the hunting party. A soft pelt brushed hers. She turned to see the oddly colored eyes of Shadow. His deep gold and red eyes stared at her softly, "Its alright," he said, "There is no reason for you to be so mad with yourself. You are engaged to Hunter. No one can blame you for wanting to cuddle with him." Ilari sighed and lowered her eyes away.
"I know, I have been thinking about this a lot lately. For some odd reason, when I saw Adens face like that. Like he hated me, it really hurt." The young brown wolf replied. A deep chuckle rumbled from her companion.
"You know, he had the exact same look of hurt and not wanting to be hated when I found him the woods. What if he is feeling the same way about you that you are feeling about him?" He turned his probing eyes to her. Ilari glanced back at him confused.
"What do you mean? Is it possible that he was afraid I was going to hate him?" Her voice held disbelief in it.
"Well," he began, "What would you do, lets say hypothetically, you saw him with another she wolf? She was getting really friendly with him and he didnt move away from her instead he began to cuddle against her shoulder in a very loving fashion." His face was blank as he said this.
Ilari glanced away. She thought about it for a moment. The handsome face of Aden pressed against the shoulder of another she wolf. His soft, kind smiles he only showed her being given to another. His tail wagging back and forth like a young pup. She could almost hear his silky voice say, "I love you. I have never loved anyone more than you." His magnificent blue eyes sparkling for her.
Ilari felt a horrid burning in her stomach. Her brows furrowed and she felt mad. Why would he give anyone else those smiles? She was the only one that liked him and knew him well enough to see the smiles. The moments where his luxurious white fur glowed and his eyes grew distant with deep thought were for her alone.
"He wouldnt do that would he?" she turned worried eyes to Shadow.
"You cant stop the hands of fate. Someday he will fall in love and you wont be able to stop him. He will begin to pay less and less attention to you. Those moments where you two are alone will be gone." The large black wolf replied. Would that really come? "Perhaps that day for Aden is coming faster than it is for you. You are the only one in the pack to have accepted him. He sees a relaxed side that only he has seen. Now he sees you with Hunter and there is nothing he can do to stop it. He might want to be the only one to see those moments, just like you are the only one who wants to see his."
Shadows words cut deep in to Ilari, Why is it I feel this way? tears formed in her eyes. "Why is it that I feel so mad when I think about another wolf growing close to him." Shadow turned a serious gaze to her.
"Think about it deeply. You love Hunter right? Think about how you feel when he is around. It is the same as when you think of your father, your friends? Now think of Aden. Does your heart race? Does even the smallest things he does make you feel special?" Ilari nodded softly to Shadow. What was he getting at? Could he possibly be suggesting what she thought he was?"This is a prelude to love. Your heart is jealous of the wolf that might stand at his side. You want to be that wolf and you know it."
