Amber's POV

I watched as William and his mate snuggled against each other of their couch. I had heard Will's screams last night, caused by their pack doctor; cleaning, stitching, and bandaging his back. I had actually grown fond of Will, he had his mate and a pack to belong too. While I wasn't even sure if I'd be able to find my mate and find my child. I had lied about The Snake Bite holding my mate captive. In reality they held me and my child captive.

There was one time that Gus came to get me. It was during the night and I was sleeping in my cell, my child curled up by my side. I had awoken to the sound of the door creaking and the smell of mint and lime. It was my mate.

-Flash back-

"Amber wake up. I've come to get you." My mate said too me as I stared, wondering if he was real. I had hallucinated him many times, non of them were real. So was this really him. "Are you real?" I questioned him tiredly, reaching up to touch his face. I felt a tear hit my cheek and realized that he was crying. "Yes, I'm real. Now come one we have to get out of here." He told me and I nodded realizing that I would slow us down and that we would then get captured.

I looked up and picked up our child. "I can't come with. I'll just slow us down." I told him with a saddened smile. "No, you have to come." Gus told me taking our child from my arms and holding her in his. "I'm sorry, but I can't. I promise that when I escape, I'll come and find you." I told my mate, letting the tears slide down my face.

"I love you. I promise I'll come back for you." he told me, a promise that would never come true. "Thank you. Now leave." I told him kissing him and then painfully letting go, watching as he left, carrying our daughter.

-End of Flashback.

That was three years ago. Having been away from your mate fro three years takes a toll on your mind and body.  I decided that once we left Lachlan's pack to find my mate and daughter. I stood up from the stool that I was sitting on, and wrote a note, saying that I'll return with my mate and for the reason as to why I lied.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week had passed since leaving that note and I was now in what I believe is the northern point of the Arctic Region. The coldest point, but it didn't bother me. I grew up here, in the forests and where the snow never melted. My fur had kept me warm, and the prey that lived here were mostly snow elk and mooses. I had been born up in the northern mountains, where I was heading too now, and was left there to survive on my own. Arctic wolves, were generally bigger than normal wolves, but I was born small and had extremely poor health back then.

But as the years passed, I grew stronger, although keeping my small size. I had found my mate, when I was chasing a snow elk and ended up running it into his territory. The memories of meeting him for the time flashed through my mind.

-Flashback-

I watched as the elk, ate berries off of a snow berry bush. I stalked closer, only stopping when it looked up. I blended in with the snow, so it would never see me coming. I hunched down and crouched closer until I ran full speed at the elk. Watching as it ran,  beginning the chase.

I bounded over rocks and jumped over fallen trees, matching the elk's speed as we ran through the forest. I was lost in the chase and hadn't realized that I had crossed into pack land, the pack that roamed here was ruthless too rouges, even if they were just passing through. My favorite thing was to tease them by eating my meals, by their territorial line. There was a time that I was brave enough to cross there line, I learned my mistake because I was soon chased out by them. Escaping with a cracked bone in my left hind leg, making me unable to hunt.

I was warned too never come into their territory, so when I realized where I was, I stopped my hunt and tried to find the pack line as fast I could. Like I said TRIED to find the pack line and when I found it, I was meet with a line of wolves blocking me from my only escape. So I did the next best thing and ran the other way, out running most of them. i was then headbutted in the side by a massive grey wolf, it was the Alpha.

My eyes widened at the sight of him. I got up, only to be headbutted to the ground again. The stories of this alpha, were ones of horror. It's said if he catches rouges, he would torture them and then have his pack take turns stabbing the rouge. I didn't know if they were true or not, which is why I was wary of the alpha. I had two choices, either to fight or to submit. I choose my best option and that was to run. I had outrunning his other wolves, but he kept pace with me. Trying his best to get close and nipping at my feet only to be meet with flying snow.

I had the pack line in sight, but an alpha wolf behind me. I ran across the border, hoping he would stop. He didn't. He kept chasing me, all the way to the northern hills, which were a two hour journey by walking. I had ran for an hour and I was exhausted. I tripped over a rock and rolled down the hill, ending up in a snow bank.

I heard a wolfish laugh and was surprised to see that it came from the grey alpha wolf. I flung snow at him with my paw, and let out my own wolfish laugh as he sneezed. 'Mate' Viola, my inner wolf said to me. I knew it had to of been the wolf in front of me, and that that's the reason as to why I'm not dead.

The problem with this was the fact that we were both far from home and it was beginning to drop to dangerous temperatures. He helped me out of the snow bank and we began our journey back. I noticed he was following my lead, knowing that I knew these woods better than him. I decided to lead us to a cave, that I had lived in.

That night we slept in the cave, and I lead him back to his territory, stopping at the line. He crossed his territory and yelped at me to join him. I shook my head and was growled at. He wasn't going to let me leave, so I sat there by the border, showing no sign of following him.

I watched as he left, going towards his home and leaving me by his border. 'We should have followed him.' Viola told me and I sighed and responded, 'We don't belong with them. We're rouges and even if we were excepted by our mate, it's his pack that worry me.' I told Viola, and feeling  him nod and retreat into his safe place.

As night fell, I decided to stay by the border. Hoping that next morning, when I left, wouldn't hurt.

-End of Flashback-

That was the last time that I had ever, slept outside. I woke up the next morning in his bed and after two days of being locked in his room, I had finally agree to stay with him and that was how we meet and through out the days we had learned more about each other, and I had finally learned to trust him and his pack.

As my flashback ended, I had more energy than before and had more hope in finding my mate. 'Viola can you tell if we are close to pack territory.' I asked Viola, letting him take control. He didn't answer me, but ran towards an unknown region of land. The place, I recognized, was known as the Northern Ice Fields. As the name suggests, it's a large field that's covered in ice.

I let Viola, lead is into the ice fields, until he stopped at the opening of a cave and said, 'Sniff and tell me what I smells like.' I took control and smelt the air, mint and lime hit my nose along with my child's scent, and it was fresh. 'It's them isn't it?' I asked letting Viola take control. He nodded and we walked into the cave following scents.

We reached a cavern and saw light reflecting off of the walls. We followed it, approaching carfullly and saw our mate sitting by fire holding our sleeping child. After all these years we had found our mate and our child. She looked so much bigger now and I wondered if she remembered me or if Gus ever told her about us. 'Of course he told her about us. We are his mate and that's our daughter.' Viola said to me and walked towards them.

"Who's there!" Gus shouted and me and Viola stepped out from behind the wall. He was surprised, "Amber is that you?" He asked me and I gave a wolfish nod and walked over to him. He gently put our daughter down and walked over to me. He put his hand on my head and began petting me. I leaned into his touch, and decided to try too mind link him.

'Gus can you here me?' I asked hoping to here a response and I saw Gus nod. We walked towards our sleeping daughter, and sat down. 'She looks just like you.' Gus told me and I looked over at our sleeping daughter. 'What did you name her?' I asked, I never named my child I wanted to wait for my mate, but that had never happened. 'I named her Viola Erin Bourbon. After our wolves.' He told me and I responded, 'It's a beautiful name.' I told him giving him a wolfish smile.

'Will you shift. I want to see you. he asked and I nodded, feeling my bones crack and my muscles shape to form human muscles. I was then sitting criss-cross naked, as I waited for Gus to bring me some clothes.

He returned, handing me clothes. "Thank you." I said quietly, while getting dressed. "I have so many questions, but those can wait." Gus said and started kissing me, turning our reunion into something truly special. "I love you" I said pulling away from the kiss and resting my forehead against him.  "I love you too" He told me, staring into my eyes. This brought back memories, of our first time, the night we mated.

-Flash back-

"I love you." Gus said to me laying me on my back. I was nude, we decided it was time to officially become mates and that the next day we would share vows. "I love you too" I told him sitting up and kissing him. Wrapping me arms around his neck.

He broke the kiss first and started kissing down my body, starting at my and leaving hickies anywhere he could. He licked the spot on the nape of my neck, sending shiver down my spine. He then flipped me over and started kidding down my spine, hitting the sensitive spot that I have at the base of my spine.

He nipped and licked my left butt check and squeezed my right gently. "You ready?" He asked me and I nodded, it's been two months since we started dating, two months of going through heat without my mate. "He licked his fingers and encircled my entrance. He then popped a finger in and started moving the digit up and down, loosening it to get a second finger in. I moaned softly, squeezing around his digits and feeling them as they stretched me.

Goddess it felt good. After putting three digits in and stretching me he flipped me over and spread my legs, revealing his length and goddamn that thing was huge. He saw me looking at his THING and smirked. Making me blush a deep red. "Don't be embarrassed beautiful, think this is going to be how we make babies." He told me, turning my face into a violent shade of red.

I looked away and felt his start to enter me, making me gasp. "It hurts." I said grunting at the pain. "It's okay. It's almost in." he told me  and I felt him push in one more time. He stopped and soon the pain was only a  buzz and I nodded letting him know that he could move. In which he did and thrusted hard and fast.

I was a moaning mess as he slowed and increased his pace. His THING ramming into me and hitting my prostate. It felt really good and I could feel I was close. "I'm close." I told Gus and he nodded signaling to me he was too. As the minutes flew by and moaned and released my seeds all over my stomach and chest. I also felt Gus release inside me, not caring if I got pregnant.

After that we took a bath, had another round, and then took a shower. We had changed the sheets and we wondered what our wedding day was going to be like.

-End of Flashback-

"What's wrong." Gus asked me. "Nothing I was just remembering the first time we mated." I told him with a blush growing on my face. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. "Where have you been?" he asked me and I sighed. "When I escaped, I helped a submissive, William Willows, escape too. We were exhausted and without knowing we had stumbled upon The Fallow pack territory. We slept the night but were awaken by a man named Lachlan Leer. He helped us and even endd up calling Will's mate, Nathan Willows. After that I went back and stayed with William at his pack until I decided I wanted to look for you." I told him as he nodded in understanding.

"What pack took you." He said sternly and I answered, "It was The Snake Bite." He growled in anger. It was the "pack" that destroyed and took over his pack. If anyone had the right to take down The Snake Bite, it was him. "Gus. Lachlan's and Nathan's packs are going to joining together to fight. They won't be enough." I told him. "They're crazy." He told me and I nodded, "We should help them." I said, playing with my fingers.

I could feel him look down at me. "Why should we help them?" he asked. "We could get our pack back and you could be a leader again. Let alone I don't want them to fall into the same situation that we are in now." I told him and he nodded. "We'll head out tomorrow." He told me and I looked up at him in surprise. "Really?" I questioned. "Yes, really. Now lets go to sleep. We have a long journey to make." He told me and I nodded.

I held Viola close to me, as we fell asleep. A sleep that was peaceful and full of pleasant dreams.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so happy that Amber found his mate and his daughter. Also I should mention that the reason why Amber doesn't talk "normal" to others is because it was trick. He wanted to make them think that he was uneducated, but when Gus found him; he taught Amber how to speak properly.

Also William knows how to speak properly because he learned a bit from his mother before his FATHER and mother abandoned him.
