The years without Beeflower were filled with sadness and chaos. But there was also happiness in these years as Viperfoot and Viperfang had blessed the pack with pups. Viperfang had twins Bluepup and Moonpup. Fernspice, however, remained stressed. Two wolves, Kilo and Darkfang, had recently joined.

Darkfang was well- dark but Kilo had potential, and she swore on Moon Pack to keep an eye on his very ambitious brother. Fernspice also had to keep hold of the duties of a medic, an alpha, and a quee--Fernspice let out a loud howl of pain. "Lunarpaw!" The wolves in the medical den rushed to Fernspice quickly.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0HWGVFmQ
Today was not the right day for Fernspice to be having her pups. Lunarpaw ran back to the medical cave in panic. Searching for the herbs.

[Meanwhile in Fire Pack...]
"Hello Lilith," said Eclipse, "you're up early." "Tis a beautiful day, Mother," Lilith barked, "I was about to go for a walk and breathe in the morning air all by myself. But I thought, Mother would love this day." Eclipse got to her paws and smiled. "It's been a long time since I've spent time with you," Eclipse barked, "I do believe going for a morning walk would be perfect." Lilith smiled.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6xqSHsQN6
No one but me knew her well enough to know what that smile meant. They all thought it was just a smile. No. She's about to do something very bad. Lilith guided Eclipse out of camp into the forest.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykT3jmRndT
It was indeed a beautiful day. The scent of dew and blooming flowers filled the air. The sun was shining through the trees. Birds of all kind were singing their song. "Mother," Lilith began, "do you think I'm a great alpha?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHk1XndvLb
Eclipse placed her paw on Lilith's shoulder. "If Robinfur were still alive, she would have brought peace. But you and Lacetooth would be the alpha that conquers and brings glory." "What have you done as alpha," asked Lilith. Eclipse hesitated. She had no answer.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfiYHIVmBx
"I kept the pack alive," she finally responded. Lilith pinned Mother to the ground. "Which means you're a coward," Lilith whispered loudly. Lilith giggled as she stared into Mother's eyes. Mother was terrified.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyvPuyhcY
"Good bye, Mother," Lilith barked. And she stabbed her claws into Eclipse's side. Lilith quickly went to wash her paws before coming back, yelping. "HELP! OH PLEASE ANY WOLF PLEASE HELP!" A few wolves dashed out of camp quickly to find Lilith crying.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMQnS8WyFH
Such an actor. Sheesh. "It's horrible," Lilith barked, "what kind of monster would do this...to a CARING alpha! Take her to camp for vigil tonight. I want ALL of the pack to be there for her. Such a mother deserves the farewells of the entire pack!" Two wolves carried out her orders without words. She was alpha now.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWYGk710gy
Lionsoul walked up to Lilith. "Alpha, if I may speak." Lilith quickly turned to Lionsoul. "Speak," she barked. "We may have to hold the vigil at sunset," Lionsoul said calmly, "May I remind you, the gathering of packs under the dark moon is tonight."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77aytwYUA2
"It is," Lilith asked. Lionsoul nodded. "Well in that case, I should make you my trusted advisor." "Thank you, Alpha." Lionsoul tried to keep her tone as serious as possible and her tail still.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFso8Rl3rG
Her advisor? This is better than being her therapist! Lacetooth walked towards Lilith wiith confusion. "What happened to mother," he asked. Lilith looked at her younger brother.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKiPzMFTC7
Clearly no one had told him. "Oh my dear Lacetooth. I was going for a walk on this beautiful day. But the sight of mother...dead. Infront of my very eyes. A rogue wolf attacked her!" A tear rolled down Lacetooth's cheek. He looked at his sister in disbelief. This couldn't be possible.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06xXHiKf2S
The rogue wolves were killed! Or were they? Did some of them escape? Lilith licked the tears of her brother's face. "There, there little brother. We will find these rogues. And we'll kill them all! And make them pay!"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U3CKm88xp
Robinpaw's ear twitched. "Badgerpaw. This is news," she yelped excitedly. "News leading to our death," Baderpaw grumbled. Robinpaw padded quickly over to Lilith, with Badgerpaw trailing behind her. "Lilith--I mean Alpha, I'm sorry but I couldn't help but over hear. You see alpha I have been longing to prove myself for moons ever since Hawk started my training."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8IWup9h5c
"Are you asking to join me in killing off the rogues who killed Eclipse," Lilith asked with a tilted ear. "Yes alpha," Robinpaw replied. Lilith jumped back as if offended. She scoffs then gives a slight chuckle. "Robinpaw, you are very smart with a great spirit. I must say, Moon Pack has granted you a gift! And I, for one would hate to see it wasted. However, I am afraid that we will not attack tonight. It is the first dark moon of this month. So our attacks must wait til tomorrow."

[Back in Leaf Pack...]
Fernspice looked at her triplets. Duskpup, Bravepup, and Oakpup. Fernspice began to smile. That is until..."Fernspice, my pups have been kicking me for hours now, and Redtail says it means that I'm about to have my pups!" -face palm- All in the medical den looked at Ivymoon who was carrying her first litter. "Redtail doesn't know anything about puppy birth," Opalclaw barked, "You're fine."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6cAwndWmA
"It means you're going to have them in a few days," said Fernspice trying to sound calm. But her friend, Iceheart could see it in her eyes that she was not calm. Especially since she had just given birth to her pups a few seconds ago. Darkfang walked into the medical den. First looking at the pups, then at Fernspice.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJmVgLGbMb
"I need Killer Berries," he murmured. "Why," Fernspice asked fearfully. "Art." Was his simple response. Fernspice paused. Then finally asked with a raspy voice, "Why not red berries?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepRTDxPVaG
Lunarpaw grabbed a bowl of moss and left to the river to fetch Fernspice a drink of water. Darkfang growled quietly, and left. "KILO!" Kilo looked at his brother. Kilo knew that Darkfang wanted Kilo to see something, so Kilo padded quickly to follow Darkfang. There was a human.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxqFwTAfk3
And it was planting traps. "See it, Kilo?" Kilo nodded. "It has no fur. So it kills us for OUR fur." Kilo's eyes were opened wide.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAY89ZHx6
"Is that really true," Kilo asked curiously. "Only one way to find out," said Darkfang with a malicious grin. Kilo came back with his brother's blood and flesh covering his muzzle. "My brother tried to sacrifice me to the human," he panted. All became silent.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkb4J4w9HV
"He killed Darkfang," Redtail shouted. "What do you want me to do? Appoint him as our new alpha," Fernspice barked from her den. All looked at Fernspice with begging eyes. Fernspice sighed deeply and grumbled. "I, Fernspice, medical wolf of Leaf Pack...do hereby appoint Kilo as our new alpha."
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQFhCsnYp
Fernspice smirked as the pack barked joyfully with wagging tails, and grateful howls.
[Meanwhile in Lake Pack...]
Orcapaw watched as her brother and his mentor ran back and forth from the medicine cave to the nursery. She could see wolves around the camp panicing. Pearlstar, the female alpha of Lake Pack, was having her first litter. So many questions went around camp. "Will Kelpfoot represent us?" "If Kelpfoot won't represent us who will?" "Are we even going to the dark moon meeting?"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm5vwACJiI
Waterfall, being calm, walked to Kelpfoot. "Alpha, the pack is worrying. Are we going to the dark moon meeting?" Kelpfoot nodded. "Of course. I will go and represent our pack. I would be greatful if you would spread this word to other wolves." "Yes alpha."
