Chapter 1

Somewhere deep in the Carpathian Mountains:

 

Kouga landed gracefully outside a large lavish mansion as he returned to his true form. Almost immediately he was assaulted by a young red-haired woman who looked to be around the age of 20. “Kouga, your back! Your back! Everyone come quick Kouga's finally come home!' The young woman exclaimed happily to all within hearing distance; as Kouga recovered from his shock of being pounced upon by the bubbly red-head

 

Recovering quickly from his shock of being pounced upon, Kouga embraced the young woman warmly. “ It's nice to see you too Makara. You're looking well. Still no lifemate yet I see. What did you do scare them all away?” Kouga smirked playfully as Makara hit him once over the head playfully, enjoying this long time joke between them. “Nope no lifemate for me. I don't need one. I'm happy on my own.” Makara stated playfully as the rest of their family walked up to them. “Kouga it's good to have you home at long last, my son.” Mikhail Dubrinsky, Kouga's father, stated warmly while embracing his son. “Kouga, sweet heart what happened to your arm? And where is Kurt?” Raven Dubrinsky, Kouga's mother, asked in concern noticing the blood still flowing sluggishly down his arm. With that said, Makara set to quickly packing Kouga's wound with dirt mixed with her own healing saliva.

 

Kouga shifted nervously from foot to foot for a moment before looking his parents, niece, older sister, brother in law, aunt and uncle straight in the eyes before starting to tell them what had happened to Kurt that fateful night 200 years ago up until this night, the night of Kurt's death and by his own hands. As Kouga finished his tale of what happened, his family stared in wide eyed disbelief at the horror of what had befallen the eldest of Mikhail and Raven's twin sons. Makara walked up to Kouga quietly, looking as if she were about to comfort him. Then without warning, she slapped him with all of her strength, sending Kouga to his knees; his head spinning from the force of his niece's blow.

 

“Kouga, you bastard! Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell me!?!” Makara screamed in fury as tears of sadness poured down her face at the horror of her befallen uncle. Kouga sat on the ground clutching his bruised cheek in his palm while looking up at his niece with fear of her wrath, and a small hint of pride at how strong she had become over the past 2 centuries while he'd been gone shining in his sapphire eyes.

 

“Makara…..I had no choice.” Kouga rushed. ” If I had told any of you father would have insisted that someone else hunt Kurt since I was his twin and had shared blood with him and him with me many times, and therefore, more susceptible to his lies and manipulation than most, and I could not allow that. I had promised Kurt 200 years ago that I, and I alone, would hunt him; and I've kept my word.” Kouga said calmly while looking into his niece's own sapphire eyes, glittering with rage and sadness.

 

“I understand Kouga…but what I can't understand is why you didn't at least tell me. I was as close to Kurt as you were and I could have at least helped you.” Makara said through her tears as Kouga tenderly took the younger girl into his arms.

 

“Shhh. Its okay Makara don't cry…please don't cry. The reason why I made sure I didn't tell you of all people was because I didn't want you to feel the pain of watching me kill Kurt, and I didn't want you being torn between me and the man that was once your uncle when it was unavoidable; that one of us had to perish. Now dry your beautiful eyes, I do have good news in this dark hour.” Kouga stated warmly as Makara and the rest of the family only just now realized how open and emotional Kouga had been over the past few hours that he had been home.

 

“Can it be…have you..?” Raven asked her son hope shining in her sapphire eyes. Kouga just smiled and nodded his head at his mother's incomplete question knowing exactly what she meant. “Oh Kouga I'm so happy for you. Who is she? Where is she? Is she nearby?” Raven rushed as she embraced her son crying tears of happiness at the news, knowing that she may not have to lose both her sons to the darkness now that Kouga had found his anchor to the light. “This is such good news.” Makara exclaimed happily momentarily forgetting her sadness over Kurt's death. “ I'm gonna have a new sis--I mean aunt.” Makara rushed happily, barely catching herself from revealing an ancient secret that she had carefully guarded since her years as a fledgling.

 

” Calm down mother, Makara. I know where she is and no she's not here I have to go find her first I've merely brushed her mind with mine I still need to find her and mark my words find her I will.” Kouga stated with complete confidence.

 

“Kouga? Son.” Mikhail asked his now only son “ Your mother, niece, and I were planning a trip away from the Carpathian Mountains and we were wondering now that your back if you'd consider joining us?” Kouga looked to his father before smiling and answering his father's question.

 

“ That would be nice. Any plans on where we'd be heading?”

 

“Not at the moment we just really decided it this evening just before you came home.” Mikhail sheepishly admitted.

 

“Let me guess mother insisted that you needed a change away from the Carpathian Mountains and Makara just begged to come along. Am I right?” Kouga snickered softly. His only answer was his fathers glare and his mother and niece looking awfully smug.

“Well then if no destination has been decided may I suggest Vancouver Canada.”
