7 Dilemmas

*Pluto's P.O.V* (2 Hours Ago)

'Eliminate threat.'

'You don't need to repeat that Lilah, I do know why we're returning to the pack.' I let out a little giggle at my poor attempt of evening the tension. However, the only thing I get in return is a slight huff.

All of a sudden I feel a slight pain in my back right ankle and I collapse. What is happening to me? More importantly, what is happening to my pack? With a determined groan I pick myself up off the floor and try my best to get to the edge of Shallow Moon Pack's territory before the pain gets worse.

(Present Time)

I let out a deep sigh in frustration. How could this happen to me? I am currently stranded between my pack border and my pack house. My ankle has gotten worse, this could only mean that the pack member who has been hurt is fragile and very close to me....

"NONI!!"

'FLYNT CROSSBORNE! GET YOUR REAR END TO THE PACK PERIMETERS AND GET US TO THE PACK HOUSE. NOW!'

'Woah, chill out girly. If ya missed me that much you could've-'

I (or rather my wolf) cuts off his teasing with a fierce 'Don't mess with me' growl and I can feel him mentally back into submission. My wolf goes quiet and I can feel the guilt practically radiate off of her presence. For the next five minutes we sit there in silence and in no time at all I can hear the sound of paws pounding the earth.

--------------------------------------------

A pair of black front paws align in my line of vision. The paws had vibrant red highlights.

'Flint... Did you bring clothes?'

A baggy black shirt with matching underwear were placed in front of me and I see the paws slowly back away and turn around, almost as if he were leaving.

'Flint? I uh...I cant walk properly...'

Clearing my throat, I look away from him in embarrassment. A wolfish chuckle erupts from the big fluff ball. What a goof.

'Your gonna have to help me back.'

'Of course, ahhh what would you do without me?'

I mentally roll my eyes and try my best to disappear into the tree line to get changed.

-----------------------------------------

'So how are we gonna do this princess?'

'Don't call me that. Maybe I could sit on your back while you run home?'

'Whatever you want, your majesty.'

The irritating second in command bows low, as if I were royal and erupts in what can only be imagined as a wolf laugh-- though its sounds like a cow having respiratory problems.

'Alright, alright. Just get me home before anyone else gets hurt.'

The wolf pauses in his place.

'D-did you just threaten me Pluto?'

Betrayal spikes in the back of my mind and I don't need to look at flint's face to know that it was his.

'Why would you think something like that? Of course i'm not threatening you.'

Flint's emotions still didn't seem to budge, they only deepened and put more pressure on the back of my mind.

'P-please Alpha Pluto, just give me a minute to help you on and i'll get to the pack house as fast as I can.'

The wolf before me, the one who had been my best friend since childhood, the one who stood by me as I was anointed Alpha, stood in front of me as I anointed him second in command.

'Wait, Flint...' Suddenly a heavier pain erupts from my side... Elk.....

'Home. Take me home now!'

Flint flinches from my tone and volume,' Yes Alpha Pluto,'

As soon as I am comfortably on him I lightly tap his sides to get going.

*Flint's P.O.V*

I try not to flinch as she gets on me. Ever since he left she had been trying to find her mate, a mate that wouldn't leave her like he did. But how is it better for she to have her mate if her mate is scared of her?

I feel her nudge my sides. 'Flint, we will talk about this later. Right now we need to get home and save our pack members.'

With hearing that, i immediately fall into a run, making my body practically leap instead of run, hoping to get home quicker, to save my mate, to save my family, my pack. From what? i don't know just yet...
