Chapter 7 Mate

The jaws of everyone in the wolf council dropped.

Mate?

They were all surprised.

Now,this was it.

Most of the people in the Black Fur Pack believed Gwen could never get a mate. To them, she was too cold and deadly for that.

Another thing was that none of the males of mating age in the pack had been LINKED with her.

In the pack,on every full moon,the power of the moon goddess, Selene would link wolves in their beast form and they would be mates. However some got their mates in human form but on very rare occasions.

Every wolf in the age bracket of eighteen to thirty years had gotten mates except for Gwen.

"How did you know?" Helen, a member asked.

"Let's say a gift from Selene." Gwen answered.

" Yeah that's true." Drawx added.

"So what do we do." Elder Xavier asked. Gwen looked at Morcant who became unconscious as a result of his fall when Gwen dropped him. Formerly,he was asleep.

"I keep him." Gwen concluded.

They shifted attention to the matter of Tim.

"Now let's talk about Tim."

Elder Xavier asked,"what do we do?"

"We don't even know his condition presently."

Gwen didn't talk. She knew what condition Tim was.

*****

Tim was in a bad state. He was at the point of death. A poison was eating him up. It had destroyed his liver and lungs including one of his kidneys.

His heart was not yet affected by the venom so he was still alive. His chances of living was 50/50.

He was groaning and wincing in pains.

*****

Gwen tapped Morcant on the shoulder.

"Wake up,sleepy head."

"Uh." Morcant rubbed his eyes. "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere. Pick up that basket and follow me."

Morcant struggled up,picked the basket and started following Gwen.

They passed through the back of the cabin.

They climbed a mountain and wend down into a valley. Morcant noticed something; they were going away from the pack.

Inquisitive,he asked,"where are we going?"

"Just follow. No questions."

Morcant kept quiet. Apparently,he was scared of Gwen. They plucked a few mangoes and apples.

In few minutes,they got there...

Infront of an oak tree.

"Stand right. Don't move." Gwen commanded. Morcant stood watching her as she moved close to the tree. She then whispered.

"Trinket."

Suddenly...

It happened so fast....

Like lightning...

The tree split into two and a portal appeared.

Gwen took Morcant by the hand and pulled him into the portal.

"Swifsh."
