Wolf Heat: I THINK I LIKE YOU
#13 of Wolf Heat
Don't have much to say for once. Just read and enjoy.
I THINK I LIKE YOU
Astri was patrolling the territory with her sister Luna. The pack was unease since Terra's announcement the other day and patrols had been made to scout the territory. Everyone knew that another pack was somewhere nearby, but they didn't dare to scout outside their territory for the fear of being outnumbered.
Nothing was known about this pack, so they couldn't risk loosing members of the pack. Well almost nothing was known. Astri had met a scout from the outside pack. A young wolf boy named Orbis. He was about her own age, and Astri had met him at the edge of the territory. Though she kept that meeting to herself.
Astri felt herself blush under her fur as she thought about Orbis, she had never felt that way about a wolf before and she didn't want him to be caught.
But she never had a secret from her sister Luna before. Even though she had a feeling Luna had a few secrets from her. Like that time Astri had found her by the river, covered with an odd sent. The same day Ventus had returned from one of his trips she remembered.
Astri wondered how long Ventus would be gone this time. He had already been gone for weeks.
Astri looked up at her sister. If she would tell Luna about Orbis would she tell the rest of the pack? Probably. The outside pack made too big of a risk for any one wolfs feelings to interfere.
Astri knew that on some level, but still she didn't say a word about Orbis. And she hoped it wouldn't harm anyone she loved.

Orbis was leaning against an old tree trunk watching the members of his pack leave to scout the territory of Astris pack. The alphas had adapted to the information he had provided about the patrols and he had been rewarded with extra meat at the latest hunt.
Coda, the black furred wolf with the unusual bushy tail walked up to him.
'Orbis! Don't just lie there. You should be fixing us more inside information!' He shouted.
Orbis however just smirked at the older wolf.
'She wont' call until she feels it's safe. Don't worry I make sure to be in earshot when she do.' He replied.
Coda forced a smirk.
'Fine then... But can you trust her? A wolf betraying her pack; makes you want to rip her apart even if she helps us...'
At those words Obis flinched, and dashed up growling.
'No one touches her!' He shouted at the wolf.
Taking a few steps back Coda gave him a surprised look.
'Take it easy....Besides that's not for you to decide. I admit helping us might give her better odds. But when we take over this territory it's the alphas who'll decide who we will spare.' He said, clearly annoyed at the young wolf not knowing his place.
Orbis calmed himself down. Getting worked up like that got him nowhere.
'Y-you're right... I'm going now...To get more information.' He said before darting past Coda and run towards where he had met Astri yesterday.
As he approached the enemy's territory he slowed down to a pace more suitable for stealth. And as he reached the place of their meeting, he found himself a hiding place and waited.
Around midday his waiting finally paid of as he saw the small form of Astri walking towards their meeting.
To be sure he waited until she called for him. She looked around to make sure no one was around to see her, or maybe she was looking for him. Either way Orbis got up from his hiding place the moment she called his name.
***
Astri had waited all day for an opportunity to meet up with Orbis again. She wasn't sure he would be there, but she had taken the chance.
But as soon as she quietly barked for him, she could see him emerging from behind a bush. She happily waged her tail and ran to meet him.
'Orbis. I'm so glad you're here.' She said smiling as she approached him.
'Hi Astri.' He replied. Walking up close to her he rubbed his head against her neck, making her blush under her fur.
'To tell the truth I'm not only here, I've been her so long the scenery starts to bore me. Come on!' He said, smiling mischievously as he dashed towards outside of her packs territory.
Astri hesitated; did she dare follow him outside her territory, her home? But then she thought that if he trusts her enough to meet her inside her territory she should trust him enough to leave it for awhile. She dashed after him, taking her first steps outside the territory of her pack.

The two young wolves ran through the forest, playing tag and exploring. All the time Orbis felt a warm tingling feeling in his body. It felt as if nothing could be better then being with this light brown white speckled wolf. He felt drawn to her, to get closer.
Soon they got into a wrestling match, and he felt the warmth from her body against his. Her soft fur stroking against his own. As he pinned her down he could feel her breath, her chest rising and her heart beating.
By now the warm feeling stayed in his chest, but the tingling sensation went down to his crouch. He felt confound, he had a realization of what it meant. The urge got stronger as he acknowledged it, and he found himself lowering his body towards her.
'Orbis...What are you doing?' Astri asked looking up at the wolf over her.
Orbis dash of her, stumbling backwards.
'I-I'm sorry Astri...I zoomed out there for a bit.' He said,
'N-no, don't worry about it.' Astri replied, blushing a little even if she wasn't sure why. Perhaps she felt that she didn't mean to scare him off. It wasn't like she mind having him so close to her.
Orbis felt his heart pounding against his chest. He wanted to get close to her again. And if she didn't mind it would be ok, right? He felt lightheaded, and an unstoppable urge to give it a try. To do to her all the things he dreamt of.
His thoughts was speeding through his head so fast, he felt that there was something in that moment and he franticly tried to find out what to do with it.
'Ummm... You know.... I think I like you too...' He didn't know what he was saying, he's brain felt like it was burning up trying to wrap itself around the situation. He didn't even know if she remembered saying that she liked him the first time they meet, or if she meant it the way he did.
Astri looked wide eyed on the grey and white wolf standing in front of her. Her heart raced to keep up with her thoughts and finally she just got out a happy yelp before stroking her head against Orbis who was bright red under his fur, still frozen by the impact his own words had on himself.
'...J-just thought you should know.' He said as his thoughts finally caught up to the situation. You idiot! He thought to himself. Don't get attached to her, you're just supposed to get information out of her!
But there's no rezone I can't do both right?
....
No of course I can't. Being attached to her will make it harder to use her and I might get conflicted feelings about invading her pack. The will of my pack must come first! His trail of thoughts continued as he suddenly caught Astris gaze.
Looking into her eyes all thoughts was banished from his mind. Her eyes were filled with something so innocent and pure; he once again felt that warm feeling in his chest.
Slowly their muzzles closed on each other, and they gently touched their lips together.
And then all thoughts disappeared. Gazing at each other they lied down, and snuggled against each other they drifted of.
By the time they separated Orbis was sure of one thing; and that was that he wasn't sure about anything. He didn't know what to do; his heart was beating fast, and his brain going a mile a minute trying to figure things out.
He hadn't learned anything new this time, but he knew that next time he'll need to get some information from her. But it just didn't feel right anymore...
To be continued...
What a dilemma. Well while Orbis thinks about that, and I try to figure out the next chapter :P please rate and leave a comment with your thoughts.
I've been absent from this project so long (sorry) that I've sort of don't remember exactly what I had planned for this or the next chapter. But I'll make it work so don't worry.
Live well my friends.
