Nokomis and Rane kept silent, Rane made sure of it. Nokomis finally got the courage to ask Rane what was happening, Rane looked at the pitch black wolf in agony. Nokomis was surprised and asked the question more directly. Rane looked down and started to tell Nokomis about it a bit.
"We've moved the camp, but there's something you should only hear from him." Rane sighed and looked down, she was a caring wolf. Always looking out for others and correcting them. She was a smart one. Nokomis looked at her, worry covered her face like ink covering someone's face.
A bit later, the two wolves arrived at the camp. The rest of the wolves stared at Nokomis in surprise as she entered the area, Rane glanced back with worry in her eyes. Soon, another wolf joined the two. Rane and the wolf's coats brushed each other. Rane stopped by the chief's den, she looked at the wolf beside her.
"Nokomis, this is Len." Rane introduces the two. "He's my mate." Nokomis gave Rane a surprised look. She didn't know him, so he must be younger than her.
"Len, can you take Nokomis to Tyee, Yuma, and Asta." Rane directed them towards the den.
Len nodded and licked her face before leading Nokomis to the den. He pushed his head through the vines and announced both the two's presences. Nokomis pushes her way into the den, Tyee was staring down at the two wolves who cuddled in the middle of the den.
Tyee's gaze switched to Nokomis, his old face switched from peaceful to angry. He growled loudly and got up from his sitting position. He spat at her in anger, "What are you doing here?!". The wolves on the floor stirred at the sudden noise. Sounds of little wolf yaps came from in between the two wolves.
"Yuma?! Asta?! What are you—" Nokomis started at the sight of the wolves, she stopped after hearing the little yaps. Her eyes changed from surprise to grief, sudden realization came to her. Those were Yuma and Asta's pups, he cheated on her! Nokomis was distracted by the two and ignored Tyee's anger directed towards her.
Nokomis stared at the two, heart broken from his betrayal. Yuma foxes his gaze on Nokomis and immediately recognized her, he got up and away from Asta. He looked back at the pups, which were clearly his, but went up to Nokomis. The pups whined and went up to their mother, Asta, and started to sickle milk from her. Len went up to Asta and sniffed at her stomach, he went to the side of the den, where herbs lay.
Len gave her some herb, Nokomis managed to note. Asta laid down and huffed. Anyway, Nokomis stared at Yuma as he begged for her forgiveness. Everything around Nokomis was happening so fast. She became dizzy and overwhelmed, her thoughts became scrambled. Tyee is angry at me? Asta, my best friend, betrayed me? Yuma, my mate, cheated on me with Asta????
Nokomis thought quickly and burst out of the den like a bat out of hell. She passed Rane, Aponi, Istas, Kishi, Hyuana, Tala, and Ayita. She passed many familiar faces, but she couldn't count them all. She rushed out of camp without a second thought. Nokomis panted as she kept running. Soon to run into a trap, she left your a strangled yelp and flopped down.
Her breathing became rough, and she panicked. She tried to escape by clawing at the tendril in the ground. Her breath became harsher and she was clawing at her neck. It only lightly loosened it, but it didn't help her breathing. Nokomis' gaze became blurry and she tried to stay awake. Everything became a blur as she whimpered even louder.
Two figures ran towards her, humans. She still had wounds and blood on her fur, making it red and sticky. Nokomis couldn't make out the figures before she passed out from lack of oxygen.
