Kai

She was finally asleep, her chest rising and falling softly. Kai bent over her sleeping face, watching her eyelids dance with dreams. Carefully he pressed his lips to her forehead, inhaling that scent of hers that had marked his heart.

It physically hurt him to walk away. The tether that kept him bound to his mate did not want to stretch and allow him to leave her side in her time of need. But he needed to check in with his clan. He had been away for too long.

The only thing that allowed him to step away from her was remembering that she had fallen asleep promising him that she would hike in the woods with him tomorrow. The woods would cleanse her, he told her as her eyes drooped closed. The woods would help to heal the grief.

It was the knowledge of that promise that allowed him to slip quietly through the front door. The sun had set in the stormy sky, but the edges was still light along the horizon. The dark hulk of the mountain was a deep indigo against the fading teal of twilight. One by one the stars were coming out, and it was those, as well as the faint scent of home that guided him towards his den.

Once he was safely amongst the trees, he shifted and let his bear take control. His bear did not like being in the woods at night. His animal instinct propelled him back to the safety of his den and the companionship of his clan.

As he loped nearer to the den, he caught the scent of a new bear. Instantly his hackles raised and he roared out a challenge to this intruder.

But as he raced nearer, the scent of the stranger sparked a memory in his head. This scent was familiar somehow, an old faint memory that confused him.

As he padded closer, Faron loped out of the den in his bear form. "Kai," he thought, the mental link between the two of them as clear as if the thoughts were Kai's own, "where have you been?"

"I'm here now," Kai thought to his beta, not deigning to explain himself.

"Very well, but there is news."

"I can smell it, who is here?" Kai lifted his shaggy head and located the strange bear's scent. It was coming from the den. This was a clear challenge to his authority and without waiting to hear Faron's response, he leapt forward, teeth bared, to dispatch with the challenger.

A bear stepped out of the gloom of the den and Kai stopped short. "Gray!"

The old, withered alpha lifted his tired head and then bent it back down in submission. Behind him, Dov stood in human form, his lips curled in a snarl as his gaze bounced from Kai to his sire and back to Kai again. Kai could feel Dov's confusion and anger as well as his disdain at his sire's apparent weakness. "You do not need to grovel, Father," Dov rumbled, speaking his thoughts aloud for all to hear.
