Revera didn't pause and walked straight into the cool wash of the water. Her pelt fanned out on all sides and she nearly purred with happiness. Here she could forget the world and breath again.
She looked back at the male behind her. He'd gotten along so well with Kiba and was now waiting by the side for her. She smiled and began to paddle through the gentle waves. The world was truly beautiful at this moment.

Sigurd didn't halt. He saw Revera walk right in which gave him an idea. He hunched down and then ran at full speed, leaping high into the air before falling like a rock into the water, making a huge splash.
Sigurd popped his head out of the cool water, grinning at Revera before paddling around in circles. "Its good to get off the ol' paws and relax."

Revera laughed as the wave of water crashed over her head. A shiver dashed through her fur and into her paws. The water was much colder around her ears. She shook and pulled herself from the water stopping to lick her paws and enjoying the taste of refreshment.
Well you seem to like the Lake. She yawned and flopped on her belly. The hot ground felt good after a cool dip. This is my favorite place in the territory.

Sigurd slowly paddled over and joined her on the shore, slumping on the ground beside her. "I do enjoy the lake very much. Hehe, it reminds me of the field outside the den I had up north. I would play in the snow with my pup. Because of how deep the snow was, he would fall right through. It was funny to watch the snow moving around as he tunneled his way wherever he went." He said with a soft smile, looking out over the water.

I took Alira swimming here once. She was just a pup and I wanted her to see the other side so I took her on my back and we swam together. That was the first day she saw a turtle. Revera shivers a little. I don't like those things. They hurt...
Revera turned her golden eyes to the white male and smiled softly. So what was your sons name?

Sigurd's expression became surprisingly soft, his eye filling with emotion. "The moment his birth was completed, a soft snow began to fall. My mate and I decided to call him Snow in honor of that event, and in honor of the pack." He said, his voice soft and soothing.

Revera nudged his side gently. He seemed so far away in his thoughts of his son, and his pack. She wondered what it would be like to love someone so much just to loose them? Would she be like Sigurd now? Aching for death so that she may once again have happiness.
She'd never thought of death as joy...
Before she knew it her paw was placed upon his battle scarred one.What happened to them Sigurd? She asked almost to quietly, her eyes searching his, trying to understand the pain there.

Sigurd looked at Revera, for once showing just how much pain he held within his heart. "I lead them to their deaths. Something we had never encountered had broken our territorial lines. Without even thinking about sending a scout, I ordered the pack to battle. I even thought it was a good idea to let my son watch his father defend the territory. The unknown contact was in one of our usual hunting grounds, a field that deer liked to eat at. So, when we arrived, we saw 7 creatures walking on two legs. My pack was 15 strong. I told my mate to keep the pups back and then ordered the attack. I guess they saw us coming, because as we moved across the field, one of them through something nearby and the ground shook. A pack mate was beside me, and in a moment's notice, part of him disappeared, and the rest struck me with such force it knocked me unconscious."
Sigurd lowered his gaze to the ground, "I woke up to excruciating pain in my right eye. When I opened them, I noticed I could only see out of my left, and what I saw was one of the two legged ones crouched over me with an eye in his hand. I immediately made my move and tore out his throat, but after that, I noticed the devastation. My entire pack was dead in the field. I guess there were more in the forest or something, because as I surveyed the field I saw my mate's body mutilated a short distance away, next to the skinned remains of my pup." He said, his tone like that of a soft breeze blowing through a canyon.

Dear Alpha Revera breathed through her terror. She couldn't imagine what that must have felt like. Instinctively she moved closer and dipped her head under his chin in a comforting hug.
I'm so so sorry... I get it now. Dear Alpha you must be so.. hurt. She closed her eyes and poured out her sympathies through every fiber of her being. She didn't want him to feel alone, ever again.

Sigurd didn't speak, he just gave a silent nod. That memory was the freshest of all of them within his mind, and was the hardest for him to bury. He had kept his pain inside for so long without sharing a single word about that day. To finally say what happened felt like a great dam had burst within his chest.
After it had all happened, something had broken within him that day. He didn't howl in pain at the loss. He didn't even feel the pain of everything hit home until the day after.
Sigurd welcomed the feeling of her presence close to his, and the comforting gesture of placing her head under his chin. It was nice to be close to someone again. Slowly, Sigurd placed his head on top of hers, his body suddenly fatigued from letting that darkness within him spill out. He slowly let his eye close, sleep overtaking him once again.

Rayne made her way to the lake, the scent of blood so fresh on her it was unsettling. She thought of the body, for that's all it was to her now. Black was no longer in it, her essence had departed to be with Alpha. Rayne remembered feeling the same way when her pack was destroyed by the great bird. There was nothing she could do then.
The black female looked down at herself in the lake's waters. Her muzzle was stained crimson, her normally bright eyes darkened a bit. She didn't want to kill anyone, but she knew that Revera had enough responsibly from making the call and Kiba would never fight a female who wouldn't have the wildness to fight back.
She looked to the other side of the lake noticing her alpha and the new white wolf in what she would call an intimate position. This roused some interest for her and she made a mental note to ask Revera of it later.
But seeing the way they sat made her think of her mate. What was Kiba thinking of her now? He had chosen not to watch and left quickly with Revera. She wondered, if he were to look upon her now, what would he see? What would her pups see if they witnessed the way their mother could turn off anything within herself to eliminate the threat?
Rayne crouched down and attempted to wash the blood from her fur.

Kit followed Misty to the lake, bounding about excitedly and with puppy playfullness. Misty was behind her nudging her gently from the back as Kit paused showing sogns of straying off again.
(Misty gave me permission to god mod her again)
Misty laughed as Kit tripped and fwll on her face. Oh u silly pup. what are bouncing around for? Misty laughed.
Kit got up from a gentle nudge from Misty. She yipped playfully. She saw revera and Sigured lying together and decided to pounce them.
Attack tiiiime!! she thought as she crouched and took off running towards them.
Kit! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! gasped Misty as she watched her pup take off towards the wolves at the edge of the lake. Wirhout further notice, she ran fter Kit.
