So for me and Zuri, I figured it was best to show a little of where we live and our families. Rasha herself is actually from the game so I figured why not include her in this since she is the second hottest female in the game.

The Wild Life

Homes

Nicholas was indeed able to find something else to go with the single rabbit that he was bringing back to his family. Thoughts of Zuri were still in his mind. But now that he was away from the female cheetah, the guy was able to think a bit more clearly. The lupine knew very well what the rest in The Howls would think of even talking to one who belonged to The Runners. It could be very bad. And yet, despite what the male had heard about the other group, Zuri was nothing like them at all. Still, the fact remained that if he kept seeing her, something would have to change. At worst, the settlements that were neutral would be a great place to stay at with the female if things got bad. “I hope that whatever happens, things will turn out for the best,” Nicholas said out loud, shifting the carcass of the dead rabbit that was over his shoulder to get a better grip.

The male made it back to where the lupine settlement was. The guards at the front entrance greeted the young male and Nicholas waved back. He saw the others out and about, even the young pups. It made the male smile as he was good with kids and liked them. Just then he almost bumped into one of the females. “Oh! Sorry about that Rasha,” he said.

The female wolf was a green eyed beauty with a small chest like Zuri. However, Nicholas had never viewed her as more than a friend. Being a few years younger than him meant the two had their own lives. On top of that, she was dating his younger brother. The older wolf was fine with that. After all, now it seemed Zuri had his attention already. “Back from the hunt?” she asked with a small smile. Rasha was a little on the shy side, even now as an adult.

“Yeah, I just came home.”

“Well can I come with you?”

“Sure, why not?” Nicholas replied. “I’m sure Lucas would love to see you.”

The two made their way to his family’s hut. It was a small dwelling, big enough for a family of four. Of course Nicholas was close to moving out. The guy even had the perfect spot for his hut picked out. He knocked on the side frame of the door before going in with Rasha. “I’m home!” he called.

From around a corner came his mother, lighter in color for the fur and shorter. She smiled at the two wolves who entered. “Nicholas and Rasha,” the female said.

Just then a blur came out and tackled the younger she wolf in a hug. “Good gods I missed you babe!” the one said. This was Lucas and she was licking his muzzle all over.

“Will you two take that outside?” Nicholas grumbled.

“Now, now,” went a different male voice. “It was no different for me and your mother when I first took her as mine.”

The four looked to see a dark furred lupine had entered. It was clear what Nicholas had gotten from him. “Hey dad,” his eldest son said.

“I see you came back successful,” the older male said with a smile.

Nicholas took the catch outside to the chopping block so these things could be cleaned. The lupine sat down and took a knife and began to the process. “So how was it?” his mother asked while watching.

“Nothing too eventful,” he replied. The guy knew he couldn’t say anything about Zuri. His mother smiled but looked a little sad watching her son prepare the meat. Nicholas was so handsome like his father and knew how to take care of others and kids. It was a shame he didn’t have a female like his younger brother.

Meanwhile Zuri had made it back to the settlement where her people lived. Like with Nicholas, thoughts of the lupine was going through her mind. But unlike the male, the cheetah was more worried about just knowing and talking to him. Sure there were the settlements that were neutral if things got bad. But this female felt a little more attached to home. Yes, Zuri was thinking about moving out of her parents hut. But there was the memories and friends she had here. The cheetah wasn’t quite sure if she could give the latter up just yet. Still, there was thing she knew the neutral settlements had like hers and that was little ones. The female cheetah loved them and helped take care of them where she lived. She was good with kids and often longed to be a mother herself one day. For now though, Zuri was fine with how her life was. She shifted the dead rabbit over her shoulder along with the catch of fish, the first meat making her think back to Nicholas with a smile. Unlike him, she only saw the other cheetahs and young ones here but nobody she knew personally. The cheetah made her way to her family’s hut and went inside after knocking. Nobody was home so she went to the chopping block out back and paused after stretching. She then sat down and began to clean the meat. She had finished up with the rabbit when her ears twitched hearing someone else come home. “Zuri, are you here?” came a female voice.

“Hey mom, just out back!” her daughter called. An older female cheetah emerged, showing that Zuri had gotten most of her looks from her.

“I see you made it back fine. How was it?”

“Very nice, I managed to get some good prey for us to eat.”

“That’s nice. Your father will love it when he gets back.”

“I hope so…” Zuri replied and went back to work cleaning the food. Her mother then got a sad look. Her daughter was so beautiful and could care for a house and a family. There were a number of males who would love to have her. And yet this cheetah had shown no interest in any of them yet. What the parents of their children didn’t know was that Nicholas and Zuri had found someone already even if it was from a group that the rest would frown and disagree on. But now what would happen nobody knew. But soon the cheetah and lupine would see the other again.

I'll think of how the next chapter will go.
