Ares was a complete mistake. He had just let his mate, Claudette, die from giving birth to his two new pups, Herin and Xeses. And worst of all, he had blamed his friend, and doctor wolf, Nabara, for all of it, and killed her.

"I'm hungry!" Cried the black pup, his daughter, Xeses.

"I'm sorry little one. I... don't know if I can. It would mean me leaving te both here da yourselves, unguarded. I cannot do that. Trust me, they will come looking for us. When they find us, they will take te both in. They will probably take me in as a criminal, for what I did. But they would never hurt two innocent pups, as of you." Ares told them.

"But I want food, now! I'm too hungry!" Whined Herin.

"I know. I wish we could all eat. This is all my fault... i'm so sorry..." detto Ares.

Back at camp...

"You Lost him? How did te lose him? He has his pups with him, he couldn't have gone far." detto Beke. "I'm sorry, Beke, but we Lost his scent da the old cave." detto Yeris, Ares' mother.

"Well, did te ever think he might be hiding in the cave...? How did te not think of that? Go get him, for he has done us all wrong, including te and Gerig." detto Beke.

"Yes. I will find him. And I will bring along a couple others." Yeris told Beke as she walked away.

After getting to the cave...

"Ares! Come out, now! We know te are in the cave! Come on now!" Ordered Yeris. "Why should I? All te are going to do is bring me back and either exile me o kill me anyways. And take my pups. No, thank you. I want my pups to myself. They are all I have left. Go away." Ares growled. "Ares, te have 5 seconds, becore we come in with force and DRAG te away, along with your pups. But we assure you, they will be well taken care of while te are locked up, I promise." detto Yeris.

"Fine! I give up! Take me away! Kill me! Strip me of the only things I have left that I still have to live for! I don't care anymore." Ares said, coming out with his pups.

"Ares..." Yeris detto as he brushed passed her, walking in the direction of camp, obviously giving up.

"Shut up, mom. Go away. I know my own way back." Ares growled.
