The Price of Power

Max tried to stop me from holding my hand under Wolf Heart's hand. I kept trying to force Wolf Heart to move away.

"No. Stop!" Max said.

I put my hand on his cheek. "I have to. They have to know and you need to remember this day." I told him. 

Max sat on the ground glaring at the ground. I turned to Wolf Heart who was pale and I stared at him. "What do you want?" I asked him.

Wolf Heart shook his head. "No. I don't want anything. I wish to go now." He said.

I shook my head. "You can be anything you want to be. You might be the alpha of this pack one day. What do you want. I want you to think of it and let go of dirt in your hand. No one will do anything to you. I won't have it. I'm your protector." I said and positioned my hand over his hand.

Wolf Heart stared at me and shook but he finally released his hand a spear appeared. He stopped it from digging in deeply into my hand but my wound opened up. He threw it aside then started to get up.
