Chapter One: Some Questions Don't Deserve Answers

 A yellow gold wolf paced back and forth, she growled in frustration "Where is that sorry excuse of a general?!" She then sat down under neath a tree and closed her eyes "He's such a waste of space."
 "Hey is that any way to speak to your commanding officer!!" He voice said jokingly.
 Her eyes shot open "General Stark!?" She dipped her head in respect, her ears flat against her skull.
 He smirked "I'm only two minutes late Zeta, you don't need to be throwing names around," Zeta looked at the ground with shame "this is your first time on a patrol right?"
 Zeta nodded, her tail twitched uncomfortably "I was hoping to go with the party my friends were in, but commander Cora told me to wait for you at the willow."
 "She was right too." She looked at him threw her long fur "She doubted your patience. Hunters need patience, that's what you must practice." Zeta nodded
 Stark ruffled her hair "Come on kid, let's catch up with commander Cora." She smiled and walked with Stark "They shouldn't be that far off."
 They walked in awkward silence. Zeta looked at Stark, he was black with deep purple markings on his face and body. He caught her stare, she blushed and looked away.
 "Soooo, General Stark are you with someone?" Zeta asked shyly.
 "Eh?!" Stark stopped dead in his tracks "That's not something you ask someone in my position!!" He sped ahead, trying to avoid the question.
 Zeta glared at Stark, catching up she blocked his way "You don't say that to someone of my position!" She barked making him flinch
 "I'm the general of this army! You are just a pon in this game!" He barked back towering over her "If you want to continue on you will not disobey me!"
 She stood her ground "If you want to continue you will not speak to me in that tone! My father is Vladimir and my mother is Marilyn!"
 Stark's eyes widened "Your the child of the pack leaders?" Zeta nodded "You look nothing like the Alpha, nor his mate!"
 Her ears flattened against her head "Vladimir and Marilyn is my adopted family." She sat down "You just made me so angry, I've never been treated like that. Nor have I ever had to use that against anyone." She bowed her head to the ground "For that I'm sorry Stark-brother."
 "No...." Stark said with a sigh, she looked at him puzzled "I'm not with anyone, when you're in my position.... Love is just a distraction." Stark smiled "let's go Zeta-sister."
 They walked in silence the rest of the way, brushing through some bushes they saw the small patrol.
