"Well wake her up if it seems to get worse..." Ratchet said softly, "There is nothing much else to do...Misa will be back soon and I'll get her to help....she a great healer..."

Alora nodded softly and her ears twitched as she heard approaching footsteps from a few different people all walking together... She wondered who it was since no one ever came this far back in the cave...

Ratchet ears pined down as he listened his fur rising a bit. He let out a low growl. People weren't allowed back this far unless called for. No one was stupid enough to try and disobey.

Alora got up and shifted into human form once more as she realized who it was. When they were close enough that she could see she tackled Alex and he started laughing.

"Alora!" Alex laughed as he stood back up holding Alora in his arms as though she were still a small child.

"Come on I'm not a kid! I have kids! I ain't a kid no more so stop holding me like one!" Alora protested and Alex laughed again setting her lightly on her feet and walking with her back to where Ratchet was.

Slowly there were about... 10 pups fallowing behind them and a woman with black tipped red hair with a small baby rapped in a blanket in her arms.

"Ratch I would like you to meat Missy, my wife, and our kids, Tim, Trista, Nick, Son (s-on), Sumoon, Sinuki, Kasy, Kiny, Haren, Koji, and my new little girl Erin..." Alex said softly having to take a breath when he was done...

Ratchet shifted to human form nodded boredly, "Nice to meet you..." He said cracking his knuckles with a grin as he looked to his old friend.

Alex rolled his eyes slightly as Ratchet cracked his knuckles. "Okay are you trying to be threatening or did I do something wrong?" he asked and couldn't help a small smirk knowing Ratchet could easily be very threatening if he truly wanted to be.

Ratchet rolled his eyes, "Fuck you Alex if I was trying to threaten you there would be a knife at your throat." He smirked darkly his eyes flashing.

Alex chuckled and shook head at Ratchet... Though Missy didn't seem to take it as amusing... She seemed a little on edge and uneasy right now and was bouncing on one of her feet trying to keep her baby calm and happy.

"I'll find you guys a room....MIKA!" He called. Almost instantly his daughter showed up.

"Yeah dad?" She grinned.

"Find them a room near Mura..." He said with a glare. He didn't like being called dad.

Mika nodded quickly and led Alex, Missy, and their kids to a room that they could fit in that was close to Mura's room. "Are you okay? You seem a bit agitated..." Alora said softly as she looked up at Ratchet truly worried about him... Though she didn't let much of the concern show... Just enough that it looked like she was a bit worried.

"Just tired is all…" He huffed layng down. "Dint be so concerned." He said softly. "I did something wrong." He said softly.

"What do you mean? What could you have possibly done wrong?" Alora asked softly as she looked back up at Ratchet after shifting back to wolf form and laying down around the pups again... What could he have done wrong? Yeah... They had sex... So what! He had gotten her pregnant the last time and didn't think of it as being wrong... And he hadn't hurt her... So what could he have done wrong? What happened was not rape... It was love a deep and passionate love...

Ratchet just pointed to the basement. "That! That is what is wrong! I shouldn't have done that! I really shouldn't have…" He muttered shaking his head sadly.

Alora looked at the trap door for a long moment then back at Ratchet and laid her head down as she thought quietly... How could it have been so wrong?... It was passion and love from not just one of them but both of them... Did he not love her? She felt as though he did... He told her at least twice that he did and it could end up as a very bad thing... "Um... Ratch?..." She started and shied away from the name slightly though it didn't show... She just didn't like that memory of when she learned his name is all... but she went on. "When you said... I shouldn't fall for you... The other night... why did you say that? I mean... What did you mean?... I'm just kinda curious is all..." She said softly as she closed her eyes thinking and listening for his answer... if he gave her one... So she just laid there around her pups waiting patiently and quietly hoping he would answer her and she hadn't said something wrong.

He sighed deeply lookig at her. "Because love is forbidden. If you love me some one will kill you." He said looking away. "So don't. Just don't." He laid down on his bed feeling empty. No they wouldn't kill her but they would kill him. Their leader couldn't be all lovey dovey.

Alora's ears pulled back slightly at this and she suppressed a whimper keeping it from coming out and showing just how she felt about that. "I... I think it's too late then..." She whispered more to herself then anything... She was actually kinda shocked she had said it where it could be heard... She hoped he didn't hear that... Though what else was there to be said? She did love him now... She had slowly been starting to love him over her stay here with him... And she felt he loved her too...

Ratchet shook rubbing his face. His heart tightened. "You can't stay in her anymore…" He said tonelessly. It was killig him but he had to get her out. She had been broken in there was no reason he could make up for why she still was allowed in hus room. "I have…I have other girls to play with." He said not looking at her.

Alora felt her heart pang with some pain as she heard his words... They hurt... They tore deep though she kept those feelings far away... Hidden... If he didn't want her there she would go... though it still hurt. "Ow... Okay... I understand..." she said almost tonelessly keeping her pain out of her voice as she kept her eyes closed trying to forget about her aching heart. "I'll be out tomorrow if you like... the girls still have that little area for me and the kids so..." She trailed off quietly and felt her energy drop making her even more sleepy then she already was. She let out a small yawn and curled around the pups a little more though not bothering or waking any of them.

Ratchet continued to look away bitting his lip. Strangely feeling tears on their way but he quickly pushed them away. "Its fir the best Alora I can't let them hurt you…your to important…to me…" He said sadly.

Alora looked up then somewhat surprised that he said it out loud and looked at him softly... though he wasn't looking at her... "Who would kill me? All the girls... well most of the girls and a few of the guys have said that... That they like us together... They said they wouldn't be shocked if you settled with me though they didn't know... Though they said they liked the idea... Their words not mine..." she said softly hoping that would make somewhat of a difference. She then looked down at her pups... At heiwa in perticulare and felt bad. Heiwa was still hurt and when Ratchet wasn't close it seemed all she really wanted to do was sleep... and that wasn't the best thing in the world...

Ratchet gave a mix between a groan and a whimper. "Damnit Alora...." He sighed. He looked at her pleadingly to just to drop it. "Until we leave or Heiwa get's better you can stay." He said looking at her, "After that you can't..." He said darkly. It was too hard. He was too attached.

Alora nodded softly as she looked back up at Ratchet then yahned again and laid her head back down closing her eyes and before anything else could be said she was out. Her dreams... Wre to say the least magnifesent... Her dreams reflected what had happened that night and how wonderful that was. At some point in her sleep she started whimpering softly about something that seemed pretty upsetting in her dream.

Ratchet didn't sleep he just watched her. And when she started to whimper he wanted so badly to comfort her but he knew he couldn't he would have to distance himself a bit. For his own safety.

Alora's dream continued and she continued to whimper and cry softly though was releaved when she woke to find it was just a dream. The wolves had been presuring Ratchet and Alora knew it so she wasn't too surprised when he told her that they would be leaving soon. "how long do you think it will be until we leave if we're leaving in the next day?" She asked Ratchet softly as she looked down at the pups who had woken up and were playing... Well Heiwa was trying to play at least.

"Not too long..." Ratchet grumbled, "A couple hours..." He said looking at her jumping off the bed looking at his pups. "Make sure they don't wear themselves out..." He sighed licking Heiwa's head gently.
