Tyler jogged quickly through the forest with the pup swinging from his jaw. His whimpers made Tyler frown. The pup curled into a ball as he whined lowly.

"Mommy," the pup whined before Tyler stopped right outside the cabin. He dropped the pup lightly on his paws before looking over the camp.

"Its okay little one. Where is your mother?" Tyler leaned over to take a sniff of the pups scent but all he could smell was a sweet honey scent that made his heart drop.

"She... she's gone," the pup cried as he limped over to Tyler.
'she abandoned her own pup?' he thought with pure anger. 'what the fuck is her fucking problem!!'

"It's okay sweetie. You wanna stay with me? I have my pups and kits here around your age." He says softlyThe pup just looked up at Tyler with tears in his eyes. His mouth quivered as he held back tears, but he just looked at his paws in defeat.

"Why didnt she want me?" The pup whined. Tyler held back his own anger before picking up the pup by the scruff. He padded slowly up to the front door but before he could get to far Ethan popped out in his cat form. His face scrunched in worry.

"What was the threat? Did you take-" Ethan stopped when he noticed the pup hanging from Tyler's mouth. The pup whined as tears flowed down his face.Ethan mother instinct kicked in as he gently took the pup from Tyler and carried her upstairs with the other. "Shh it's okay. I take care you now." He whispered licking the pup face gently.

Tyler took a deep breath before going upstairs with the pups and Ethan

Reality and the others seemed to just watch as Dean approached slowly to his mother's side. The pup cried as cried as Ethan licked his face in comfort. He cried over and over how his mother didn't want him, asking what he did wrong. Tyler's anger boiled in his stomach as he listened to his cries. Dean seemed to be the only one of his pups who crawled slowly over to the strange pup and offer comfort.

"Its okay. My mommy will take of you now." He said as he slid over by the pup and curled to his side with care. Slowly his cries started to falter before falling altogether.Dean smiles at her. "No more tears. Just cuddles and kisses." He says as he licks her cheek.

The pup looks at him as she seem a lot calmer around Dean. She sniffles a little before laying and nuzzles into him. Dean wrapped his tail around her and pulled her closer to him. She wiped at her eyes as if to force them away.

"What's you name?" Dean asked as he licked at her ears. She growled but didnt move.

"I dont like my name," Ethan narrowed his eyes in concern but didnt say anything. Dean tipped his head and gave a big smile.

"How about we give you a new one," the wolf pup blinked gratefully at her new friend, before looking up at Ethan. Tyler smiled as he thought of the perfect name.

"Clarity Rose," Tyler spoke out loud.

Ethan smiles as he nods. "What a beautiful name for a beautiful pup." He says "welcome to the family Clarity"

Clarity smiles as she nods and kicks dean check gently before yawning a little.

Ethan nodded as he took Tyler's hands into his own. He rubbed his knuckles with his thumb as he kissed his shoulder.

"Baby, maybe it was for the better," Ethan reasoned but Tyler shook his head. His skin started to burn from all the anger that surfaced.

"How could this be for the better?" Tyler growled lowly as his hands turned to fists. Ethan grabbed his fisted and brought it to his mouth to kiss.

"Cause now we have another beautiful little girl," Ethan reasoned once more."I know! But she's the mother! The birther of that gorgeous child!" He says as he frowns deeply. "She supposed to give her milk and everything she needs!"

Ethan gently kissed Tyler head. "But now we can do that baby. I can give her some of my milk. Plus what would you think if we left her with Jessica?" Hr asked.

Tyler was silent for a moment as he was in deep thoughts before saying, "she would have been abused if not more mentally and physically unstable."Ethan nodded to himself before kissing Tyler's forehead. His kisses making Tyler smile.

"What would I do without you?" Tyler asked as he pulled Erhan into his lap. Ethan giggled before wrapping his arms around Ethans neck.

"You would be sooo miserable," Ethan stressed dramatically as he kissed Tyler squarely on the mouth. Tyler smiled as he kissed back with such emotion.Tyler gently broke the kiss and rested his forehead against Ethan's as he sighs. "I just want this to end "

Ethan nuzzles him gently "I know. I know "
Quietly someone knocked on the door before slowly opening it.

"Alpha, may I come in?" Tyler heard Mark's voice. Tyler grunted as he barked his approval. Mark opened the door before stranding straighter.

"We found nothing along the border sir, only the young ones scent. She must have been out there for days based on the scent," Mark looked over at Ethan as tears well up in his eyes.

"Poor thing must be starving," Ethan cried before jumping off Tyler's lap and squeezing past Mark to get to his children.
Tyler was boiling with anger "mark. Shut the fucking do for me."

Mark knew that tone. He quickly shut the door and locks it as he now watched Tyler break every single thing in the guest bedroom as he lets out a rainbow of words in fury.Mark just watches as Tyler grabbed the lamp and smashed it in between his fingers. The bed post was ripped from its position and broken into splinters. Tyler punched several holes into the wall, and on his eighth hole Mark reached out and turned Tyler towards him.

"Tyler stop!" The Beta barked as he watched his Alphas nose flare in pure disgust."take a breath!' he says as he held Tyler in place. Tyler took deep and hevay breaths but was slowly calming down enough that he doesn't want destroy every single thing in the universe.

"First we need to clean this mess up. Second of all we need to have a squad to search the area and a bit out of the territory to see if there was anymore pups she left." Tyler says as his voice was a bit deeper and quieter.Mark nodded before he let Tyler go. His head finally clear as he started to lean down to pick up his mess bit Mark grabbed his shoulder.

"I'll take care of this, go be with your family. I'll inform you if we find anything," Mark stated as he quickly squatted down next to Tyler. His eyes indicating that it would be okay. Tyler smiled thankfully at Mark before picking himself off his feet and trotted upstairs where Ethan was nursing Clarity.Tyler walks in and turns into his wolf form and lays down next to the pups and kits and Ethan.

"So, you finished with your tantrums?" Ethan asked as he winced a little as he nursed clarity. Tyler chuckled "yes mama Ethan. I'm done."Ethan laughed before he curled up to Tyler's chest before looking down at Clarity.

"She was so hungry Tyler," Ethan said as his smile turned to a frown. The other pups were sound asleep, their tiny snores were loud and obnoxious but it made Clarity comfortable."I know baby" Tyler says licking Ethan muzzle. "Just keep feeding her as much as you can sweetheart."

Ethan nods as he wrapped a protective tail around Clarity. "Tyler I'm worried."

"We all are wor-" Tyler was cut off by Ethan. "No Tyler. Not that kind of worried." He says with a deep frown. "A worry that hits our core. Our pups and kits I worry about the most. Something is coming and I don't know what yet. I'm scared."Tyler didnt know how to respond so he simply just licked at Ethans face. Ethan just sighed as he rested his head on the converter and fell asleep. Tyler stayed up most the night waiting for a report from Mark. When he knocked on the door at three in the morning Tyler was just about to fall asleep but he raised his head and told them to come in.

Mark's sad face made Tyler tense. His eyes were droopy from lack of sleep but his face was looking at his feet as he spoke.

"Tyler, there were other like you thought." Mark started before he looked up. His face scrunched up in horror as he took in a breath.

"They're all dead."

"how many and how?" He asked

"Three." Mark muttered as he looked over at Clarity with sympathy.

"It seemed all the puppies had injuries. One died of infection, the other hunger...." Mark hesitated before he continued. Hurt was full in his eyes as he looked at Tyler seriously.

"The last died from some kind of animal attack. He was ripped in pieces Tyler." Mark whined as he looked back down at the floor. Tyler took in a shaky breath as he allowed tears to fall from his eyes. "M-mark. Every wolf in my pack if their. Have pups of mother's that's pregnant take then to the safe house. So they won't be harmed by the fighting or Jessica herself."Mark nodded but when he turned and headed out the door he stopped. He looked back at Tyler with tears.

"At least Ethan and Jack will be together," Mark smiled weakly as he implied the worst. Tyler's jaw dropped but he didnt have a chance to say anything before Mark walked out of the room and shut the door.
