With the new year's celebration one over, everyone went in and slept off to gain back their strength. All except Will made it to their room to sleep as he decided to rest a bit on the couch before going to his room. Hours passed before William woke up and realized that he still laid on the couch. He stood up lazily and dragged his feet up the stairs to an empty guest room. With his eyes barely open and a blurred vision, he moved about like a zombie before laying on the white bed sheets and covered himself up with a blanket and slept off.
************************************
The rest of the pack for up wishing eachother happy new year and prepared a hearty breakfast. They decided to leave William to sleep as breakfast was being made. The boys got down to some of the cake leftovers from the party cuz they couldn't wait any longer.
"You sure William's not dead or something? It's unlike him to miss out on such a mouth watering opportunity" Kent said as he stuffed his mouth with cake.
"Yh.... it's so....unlike him....." added Brian as he repeatedly stuffed his mouth with cake.
"Oi you guys shouldn't finish cake" Keisha said as she pulled the cake away from them.
"What's that for" Connor said angrily as he tried to chew all the cake that he stuffed in his mouth. He had taken so much that his cheeks expanded like a chipmunk's.
"You guys should save some for William" she replied walking into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and put what was left of the cake into it.
"Pft,his lucky his girlfriend is looking out for him" Brian grumbled under his breath.
"What was that Brian?" Keisha asked with aggressively.
"Nothing, nothing" Brian responded a bit scared by her tone. She had an evil side that only one person had experienced and lived to tell the tale, William.
Forty minutes passed before breakfast was ready and the boys rushed to take their seats as they eagerly awaited the others.
"Hold on boys, we aren't going to eat without William. We can't have our fist meal of the year without him" Linda stated.
"Ow man, where is he anyway?" asked Brian.
"I don't know but I'll find him" Keisha answered as she raced through the hous looking for him.
"Will, Will, Will........" Keisha called as she looked for him. She wondered where in the house he could be or if he was even in the house at all. She raced up stairs and continued to look for him.
She had checked his room but he wasn't there, everyone began to worry about him. William on the other hand rose up from his bed as he had awakened from his sleep by the chirping of birds. He layed his bed, and walked out of the room, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He walked out out meet a worried Keisha turning around indecisive of where to look next.
"Whatcha looking for?" William asked. As she heard his voice, she turned around, grabbed his m by the ear and began to pull it.
"Where have you been? Where did you sleep, you had all of us worried" She said like a nagging mother.
"Ow, ow, ow, you're hurting my ear. I slept in the last guest room right there" he said beating the pain that was being inflicted to him.
"Oh so that's where you were" Keisha said letting go of his ear.
"You shouldn't have treated me like that ya know, especially when I'm hungry" William whinnied as he rubbed his red ear.
"Oh forgive me, maybe this would have been more appropriate" She answered before giving him a hard knock to the head. The whole house was filled with a scream from William in pain from the knock gifted to him.
"Well, she definitely found him" Brian remarked with a little chuckle.
************************************
After William finally made it down, they finally dug into their food and Will was handed the cake left for him to fill up his belly. After that hearty meal, William slept of as his body got to work digesting it all. The rest of the pack except Keisha headed out on patrol. When he woke up, he found a piece of paper with Brian's hand writing on it.
"It's, now or never" Willing am read confused at the note. He turned it over and truly got the meaning.
"It's time to tell Keisha how you feel" William read aloud before he shook his head disappointed. Before he could even ponder on it Keisha walked in.
"Time to tell Keisha what?" She inquired.
"Nothing, nothing" William said with a bit of fright.
"Okay. The others are out on patrol and we shouldn't allow them to do all the work so let's go" Keisha stated before walking out of the room.
William tagged along and the two transformed within the cover of he trees and bolted towards the north western side of the forest. On his way there, he kept on debating on whether or not this was the right time to ask her but after two kisses, that was a massive green light so made up his mind to do it once they got to a suitable location. They continued to make their way to the northwestern side to the forest and another thought came up in his mind, should he do it in his human form or wolf form. Well what he wore out of the house isn't really appropriate for snow so he decided to roll with the form he was in. They finally arrived the spot designated to William and his partner to patrol. The view was breath taking and so was the food, and best part was that they had all of it to themselves. One of the perks that came with claiming the forest was that they now have more than enough land to patrol which made bumping into eachother highly unlikely as they were now more spread out. William and Keisha sat down and admired the view and Will seized the opportunity to talk to her.
"Hey Keisha there's something I wanna ask" Willim asked nervously.
"Yh, what is it?" She replied
"Well, I'm not sure how to say it but here goes. Well after the two kisses that we've had I started to wonder if you liked me or something" William stated with his tail starting to wag awkwardly.
"Oh Will, of course I do. No girl would kiss a boy twice unless they liked him. Can't believe it took you so long after the dance to figure that out" she answered with some frustration.
"Oh. Well you know I'm not good with all this girl stuff ya know" he said in his defence.
"Yes I figured that out a long time ago. So now that you know, what are you going to do about it?" She said curiously as she turned and faced him. He faced her also and as he looked into her eyes, his tail stopped wagging and he was sort of lost for words. He mustered up the courage and finally popped the question.
"Well, we could become more than friends and get into a relationship if you-" Will was saying before being cut off.
"Yes, I would love to" Keisha said cutting him off. He was obviously surprised at her eagerness but who was he to judge, he had kept her waiting for sometime.
"Okay" he said and looked at the breath taking view. She snuggled up next to him as they admired the forest.
The grey wolf and white wolf sat side by side by cliff admiring their surroundings but they never took notice to Brian and Connor in the distance watching them. After seeing the two talk for about four minutes and sat like that, they concluded that their boy has finally done it and couldn't wait to get the details from him later.
