A familiar pack member with a grey pelt limped into her home land. Her coat was was hard to distinguish due to it was covered in blood and matted. Her open wounds bled freely she atleast made it home hopefully her love was still alive if not she would just lose her meaning to live. Her body gave out due to dehydration and exhaustion it crumpled to the forest floor her tongue lolled out panting cooling her body. She looked up at the dimming skies and eyes heavy with sleep but not the sleep of death just a sleep to restore energy that was lost she was home now. She lifted her head weakly and began to lick her bleeding leg wound why did she have to go and fight that grizzly because she was protecting someones elses pups while out hunting and she had become severly injured in the process but she won in the end. Katie laid her head back to the forest floor and closed her eyes falling into a deep slumberous sleep......

.Horatio Caine.
Horatio Caine's back arched as he stretched, his thinning, black peltage marked by a white crest being given a shake. He righted himself, yawning quickly as his sharp, yellow-gold eyes swept across his lands. The Delta couldn't help but notice the empt atmosphere that hung around the place; not to mention that the Alpha male had been gone for quite some time. H supposed Felan had a right to a break; after all, the war had just started to simmer down. Though the three year old wolf doubted Masquerade and her followers - the members of Zuvan - had backed off completely; infact, he was almost completely sure that those bastards would be back for more. If its his older brother they wanted, then they'd have to go through Horatio first.
With a sigh the massive wolf turned his great head, all his senses tuned in to the surrounding area. It was this alertness that helped Horatio notice the new, intoxicatingly familiar scent - it was Katie, his mate. She'd also been gone for a quite a while. Though, something was wrong, for the metallic stench of blood also hung in the air, mingling with Katie's purfume. With a confused growl the Grey Wolf sprung forward, his powerfull limbs bringing him forth faster than they had ever carried him before. An urgent note travelled up his throat, exiting his maw as a howl filled with worry - one which was directed toward his beloved.
Arriving on scene not ten minutes after he'd sent out the call, Horatio rushed toward the grey form that slumped to the ground. His paws finally skidded him to a hault before the female, and he lowered his head, ears pressing back firmly as he saw the wound on his mate's leg. With a worried whimper he lowered his large body, laying as close to her as he could get, wrapping his bushy tail around her feminine bodice. Muzzle lowered toward her wound, his tongue gently snaking out and rasping over it in an effort to stop the bleeding. If she was still sleeping, Horatio would do his best not to wake her; but chances were that he already had. So, with a soft, deep and loving whine he turned away from his mate's injury and rested his head on her neck, urging her to rest.

Her mind was full of dark images and she was sure she was dead. When she felt a warm tongue rasp across her hurt leg it brought her back to the living making her eyes pop open in alert. When the familiar scent warfed to her nostrils she instantly knew it was Horatio and she whimpered softly to him letting him know she was atleast ok for now. When he layed his head on her neck she smiled softly and let her tail weakly thump against the ground how she had missed him. She had rested long enough if she didnt get up and move around her muscles would become stiff and she wouldnt be able to move around due to a lactic acid build. She lifted her grey head slowly pain signal being sent throughout her body making her whimper even she had to move or she could be stuck like this. Also the blood caked to her fur was annoying and she felt the need to cleanse herself in the shallows of the river. She looked at Horatio her eyes pleading with him to help her to the river.

.Horatio Caine.
Reluctently, Horatio Caine removed his neck so Katie could attempt to stand; hopefully her muscles weren't already to stiff to move. The pleading look in her eyes nearly killed him, and his heavy heart beat faster as he nodded understandingly. Horatio stood and nuzzled his muzzle underneath Katie's, shifting his larger body against her's so she could lean her own weight against him. With his own strength and vigour H could easily help his mate to the nearby shallow river. A whine purred softly in his throat as Katie whimpered with pain, and his tail stiffened and raised, his keen gaze flickering about; his rigid body and size was hopefuly enough to warn any threats off.

Katie slowly got to her feet stiffly yet wobbly. She licked his maw lovingly using his body to support knowing she would finally get this muck off her pelt. She slowly stepped forward with a large limp and whimper her muscles were stiff how long had she been asleep. She felt like a burden for Horatio and wished she would have never been hurt so she wouldnt have to do this. They made it to the river and Katie pulled slowly away from Horatio before limping to the cool water where she collasped into it where the water turned a dirty brown from the blood from her pelt. She drank the water rehydrating her dehydrated body how she felt relieved she didnt feel as if she was dyign anymore. The water made her injuries feel instantly better. She lifted her head and looked at Horatio and smiled a thanking smile at him.

.Horatio Caine.
Horatio carefully lead Katie toward the water, watching her limp and making sure she didn't stumble. Finally reaching the water's edge he hesitantly released the hold he'd gently heald on her scruff, allowing his mate to stumble and collapse into the water. H went to go to her aid but haulted, seeing instantly that she was fine as she drank from the water. With a smile he approached slowly, laying next to her and feeling the cool water seep into his peltage. He inched closer, pressing his black nose gently against her's and giving a content yet still worried sigh.

Katie laughed softly feeling his nose close to her ears and his warm breath tickling her ear. She licked his cheek and then his maw in a thanks. " I'm sorry for leaving" she said softly with an apologetic expression. She rolled over in the water making her whole body become clean. She grinned the water made her feel rejuvenated but not enough that she wanted to walk on her foot it would take awhile for that to get well. She shook her head and whispered in his harks " I love you."

"Your return is all the appoligie I needed," Horatio muttered, smirking and giving the female's hark a quick lick. Lowering his head to his paws, the brute silently watched as Katie rolled in the water, cleaning herself; he smirked proudly, his heart soaring. Oh, how he'd missed her. "I love you too." He murmered softly, tongue lashing out and caressing her grey paw softly. "But now I must go and find you food; you look half starved." He muttered, standing and giving her shedding coat a quick shake; droplets flying off, some toward Katie. "I'll be back soon."
--
And soon his return was, for the caribou were once more abundant in Terikon. He returned faithfully to his mate with a haunch hanging from his fangs. Trotting over to Katie, H allowed the meat to slap onto the bank so it didn't get wet, nudging Katie toward it as encouragement; she needed to eat.

She smiled and nodded and even though she wished greatly she could go with him on the hunt she knew she couldnt keep up with the pace that was needed. The droplets that wet her made her smile and laugh some and she watched his retreating form to go find them some food. While he was gone she slowly got out of the water and laid on the warm embankment.
When she saw him coming back towards her with the haunch she smiled tail thumping the ground excitedly. She looked at him and stood kissing his maw with her wet lick in thanks before she turned to the haunch where she ate vigorously she had not eaten a decent meal in weeks. She ate half and was soon full leaving the rest for him. " thank you love" she said before laying on the ground belly round and full.

Horatio chuckled, smiling softly as she kissed him then began to eat. His tail wagged softly behind him and wehn she was done, he lowered his head and ate his own share; even though he didn't happen to be too hungry. Then he lay down at his mate's side, sharing the warmth of his pelt; even though it was thinning, it still heald the same shaggyness as always. The handsom creature then lifted his large head and pointed his muzzle toward the sky, staring at the stars that twinkled now; it had been a few hours, and night was starting to blanket the sky.

After he ate and laid beside her she strectched out her body getting closer to his. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and smiled " love you are shedding which is a shame since I like your fluffy coat" she teased. Her eyes moved up over his form and looked up at the sky that was dotted with the bright gases of the stars. She laid her head on his back licking his harks softly with tender loving care.

Horatio chuckled at her words, inching closer to her as well. "And if I could make nature stop making my fur shed just for you I would, my love." He murmered teasingly, gently licking her harks as her head rested upon his back. He then twisted his own neck, resting his regally pointed muzzle onto Katie's neck, his eyes locked onto her's; though, if she looked at him he would quoickly glance away and back to the stars.

" thats soooo sweet love but I will see it again come fall and winter" she said nuzzling his neck. She sighed breathing in his scent " I miss you sooo much love if only you knew how much but alas my words cannot express how much" she said. She looked at him and softly closed her eyes softly falling into a deep tired slumber.

With a smile, Horation chuckled warmly in his deep, baritone vocals. "Yes you will, and I'll keep it shiny so its more appealing to your lovely hazel eyes." Hw murmered warmly in return, tongue lashing softly over the top of her head. "As I've missed you, my beautiful." A smile etched itself onto his features as she fell asleep, and he gently rested his head on her's; though he wouldn't be sleeping tonight. Not with so many dangers lurking around. As much as he hated to say it, Katie - who was usually his little spitfire - was vulnerable to predators in her state. But they would meet Horatio's deadly jaws if they tried to even look at her the wrong way. The thought of it sent a rumble starting in his throat, but he quickly stifled it, hoping not to wake Katie.

Feeling his throat rumble with a soft growl she was worried she wanted him to sleep if only she hadnt have been hurt. The next day Katie woke with a start her eyes opening slowly still full of sleep matter. She arched her neck and yawned looking at Horatio. She got up slowly walking over to the river taking a few lick to quech her sudden thirst. She limped back to him and asked softly " love where is everyone."
