Tristan's POV.

Laying on the ground with my eyes closed, scared to look at myself. I can feel how different I am now. It's weird. And the first thing Hunter does is run a few yards away from me for a while before coming to drag me across the woods.

And when he dropped me, he left again. I only watched him pace and shake himself as he kept a distance. It didn't really make me feel better about anything as I watched him nervously.

Did something go wrong? My body is sore and I am scared. Closing my eyes as Hunter paces around some more, I try and relax again.

'Tristan?' I jolt at the voice in my head and get worried. I'm not going crazy right?

'Tristan your not crazy. I'm sorry I put us...you through this.'

'What the hell....'

'My name is Phillip. I'm your wolf. And I really want to apologize.'

I sit and take this in. I completely forgot about my wolf, now I feel bad. I mean, I knew about it when this started obviously, but as things were breaking in my body I kinda lost sight of the fact that I had...another being with me.

'H-Hi.' I don't even know how we are doing this right now, I'm just kinda talking to something in my head as of now.

'I am sorry about everything Tristan. I wish I could have talked to you and helped you through everything that's happened to you.'

'I-it's....I'm fine. This is weird.'

'You'll get use to it.' Phillip laughs out the last line making me internally smile. His voice is deeper than mine, kinda like Grey with Hunter.

'I should have tried to come out a long time ago. I did try, but I could never reach you.'

'You couldn't do anything about it. I don't blame you for anything. My dad was a jackass for taking you away from me.'

'Thank you Tristan. You should rest and talk to Hunter. But if I can ask you something, would you let me take control so I can see Grey? I miss him so much.'

'Of course.'

When I open my eyes again, Hunter is there laying next to me, head resting his paws as he looks at me. Hunter licks my face andI see his golden eyes staring at me and you can barely see his figure in the dark. He licks my face again and lays by me.

"Tristan?" My eyes go up to him and widen.

"H-Hunter?"

"Hey babe." My tail wags in the dirt as he talks to me., "how are you?"

"Sore. This feels weird." I say honestly closing my eyes again. I don't know how we are talking either. First the mind things with Philip, and now this weird thing with Hunter...its cool.

"You'll get use to it."

"That's What Phillip said." I say it thinking.

"Phillip?"

"Yeah. He wants to come out and talk to Grey later."

Hunter wags his tail and sits up. "You should try to move." He says.

He nudged me with his head and helps me on my stomach. I look at my paws for the first time and I'm white.

And big. Not as big as hunter, actually probably way smaller than most wolves I've seen around in the pack but still. I'm big.

He nudged me again and again until I moved so I am standing up. And as luck would have it, I fall down and hunter laughs at me for a second.

"Shut it Hunter." I whine out at him. He licks my face and whine at me. I get back up and take step to fall again, but this time Hunter catch's me and I just lean on him.

"Come on. I'll help you." Hunter helps me gain my balance and for a moment we just stand there: I probably look like an idiot just standing here like this.

Hunter walks in front of my and stares at me, yeah his wolf is way bigger than mine. "Come on. Just take on step."

"How the heck do I do that?"

"Move your front paw babe. Then a back one, opposite to your front."

"Thats a lot to do...too many things at once Hunter."

"Its how you do it."

Taking a breath I slowly put a paw forward, checking every second to regain and focus on my balance. Putting my paw down on the ground with a thud, I do it again slowly, then again and again. I'm like a little kid learning everything over again.

Each time a paw goes down, a small thud goes with it at my harsh push at them to get going. I feel like a little kid at this point learning dance in gym class with the color coded mats to help you.

After taking a few steps towards Hunter, he licks my face and wags his tail, "There you go. You've got it down."

"Not yet." I say to him as he stares above me, his dark figure builds over my light one. Dark golden eyes light up as we stare at each other silently.

"Come on." Hunter starts to move backwards, making me move forwards with him. Slowly I get the hang of my steps, I walk faster and faster, staring at my new paws as I do so. I catch up to hunter and he runs in front of me, "Come on." Hunter gets to me before running a head of me.

"Hunter." I whine out.

"Come on babe. You can run." I start to move faster and let my body just do its thing I run after hunter and the soreness of my body fades away as I stretch every muscle in my body. Running behind Hunter as fast as I can, speeding up and running past Hunter.

Jumping over a fallen tree and just running. I feel a sudden burst of energy, like it came out of know where. Hunter catches up to me and slides in front, stopping me and making me fall backwards on my hind legs, soon my body hits the floor with a small thud.

Hunter towers over me and licks my face, all over. BeforeI know it Grey is out. His black eyes so with his body, it's like there is no color at all. I hear Phillip whimper in my head for the first time and suddenly I feel this connection.

It's totally different from anything I've ever felt before, sudden emotions hit me harshly that I haven't felt in a very long time. I feel how bad Phillip feels, I feel his guilt and sadness, his own depression and strives, his wanting for Grey and his remorse, his love and passion, I feel it all.

I let myself go and let Phillip take the wheel now, I can't hold back or keep him tied up like this. His own chains need to be freed, I could feel everything, every once of his soul being washed away when grey came out and stared.

I let go.

-----------------

PHILLIPS POV.

---------------

After Tristan and I talked for a few minutes I went back into the back, back into my space with him. letting him be with Hunter like normal again. I sit back and smile to myself as I replay Tristans promise to me, I get to see Grey tonight.

I get to see my beautiful man tonight after almost thirty-five years. Before we were given to Tristan and Hunter, I had died almost twenty years before that due to my last Human having a Cancer, we died old but still, I had to wait for Grey to die afterwards for us both to be placed in our new Humans.

I can see Grey's wolf as we speak but I can't smell him, can't touch him, can't sense anything that indicates that it is Grey. Hunter's in control right now, which has to be hard on Grey. He's never been a wolf to give up willingly, his all ways has most of the control between him and his Humans.

But, he's letting hunter with Tristan because he needs him, and that is the Grey I know. Taking care of his people, even if it hurts him a tad bit.

I guess Hunter is total Alpha too, in the way where he has to be in control. but from what I could pick up from Him and Tristan talking before everything really started to happen, is that Grey pushed away and he let Hunter take over for years. meaning Hunter got use to being in control, and that is one thing I am use to.

Is being in control of my body, this wolf form is mine, just like Tristans human form is his, I am use to being in control when a wolf, but I might have to get use to not being in control; it was just a way for me and Grey to be together as much as we could. I might talk to them about it.

I've been here the entire time, Tristans entire life I have sat here alone. His father surpassed me somehow, I was with Tristan everyday, yet I couldn't connect to him like others did. Like I have done before.

I've been here with him through everything, and I feel so guilty about not being able to help him through life, Its a reason I am here. To help the person I am bonded to in this life, but I guess I never got to bond with Tristan fully until now.

When Tristan starts running I perk up, being coming so happy that he is, I can feel everything get better as he jumps and runs, Hunter getting in front of us, Tristan falls to the ground and I laugh to myself as him and hunter stare at each other. Hunter's eyes change and Grey is looking at us, his dark eyes stare into us, like he's looking for something; for someone.

I lose myself and everything hit me at once, Grey's Mint and coffee smell fills me as I stare into his onyx eyes. Waves of pain and love hits me and I am so taken back, I feel Tristan loose control over himself too. He's just getting the feelings, just getting everything I have ever felt with him, with Grey, with Hunter.

I push through and take control, letting Tristan go into our shared space, then into his own as I stare at Grey. My mind races as we stare at each other.

"Beautiful?" I ask, through our link. He stares at me and his face softens in a way.

"P-Phillip."

"It's me Beautiful. I'm here." I say to him, he relaxes as I call him beautiful, the only thing sweet I am aloud to call him, the only nickname for him from me, and I've giving it to him for years pond years now.

He is quick to nuzzle his face into my fur as he smell me, making sure it really is me. He licks my fur all over, bitting my body a few times for good measure.

I nuzzle his face and lick him as he stands over me, in a protective way.

"I missed you so much."

"I missed you too Beautiful! Oh god, I am so sorry I couldn't be here sooner. Things could have been so much different if I wasn't blocked out from Tristan. I could have guided him and helped all of us. I could have brought us all together so much sooner."

"Don't Phil. Don't blame yourself, blame that basterd who beat Tristan everyday." I growl when he mentions Tristans dad, my blood boils and I get hot headed over it, "calm down."

"That man doesn't deserve to live, I wanna kill him for everything he's ever done to Tristan. He's gone through more than anyone should have ever gone through. It hurt to watch it happen...I was getting lost not being able to help or defend Tristan...It's awful." I say.

"I know. Me and Hunter are working on finding him, just don't tell Tristan."

"I won't." I say as Grey moves away so I can sit up again. I actually sit down on the ground as Grey does the same by me, laying his head on mine as we sit here.

"We have a lot to talk about Phil."

"I know. We will, but for now, let's just sit here. I don't want to talk about anything Beautiful, I finally get to see you after 20 plus years. Let me enjoy you." Grey Nuzzles my face again and I lick him, God I missed him. He bites lightly at my ear and I lay down by him, showing my submission.

"You still do it Phill."

"I know." I say lightly looking up at him with puppy eyes. He watches me and lay down next to me, "I love you."

"I love you too."

------------------------

After a few Hours Grey and I just sitting here together, He pushes me up and Starts walking.

"Where are we going?"

"No where. I just don't want to sit there all night."

"And?" I ask catching up to his pace, walking closely next to him.

"And what?"

"And what are we going to do?"

"I don't know. We could go explore."

"Explore?"

"Hunters never gone past a certain point in the woods, he staying in the same areas. Why don't we take our boys on an adventure? Because Mine is boring as hell...you have the creative one with you."

I look up at Grey and start running in front of him. Feeling the wind pick up in my fur I race him against it. Stretching every muscle and limb in my body, running like I haven't in years.

Well. I haven't ran like this in years.

Grey Catches up to me and races next to me, in cinque for hours, passing small ponds and lakes, weaving through Giant trees and jumping over rocks and ledges. Running past anywhere we could go, looking for the next best spot.

Our next best spot. All of ours next best spot. Grey and I always have a spot, sometimes in a few lives we can go back to some of them. We've done it before, travel so much we go back to everywhere we made ours.

And these boys will need it too, because I am not letting our spot, Hunter and Trsitans spot, be a fucking tent in the woods. Way to fucking creepy.

And after hours of running and Searching, I suddenly stop at a small patch of trees, hearing the sound of water clashing hits me. I walk towards the sounds as grey yells after me.

"Phill. What the heck, why'd you-"

He stops next to me and stands there as we stare at a river running slowly, a waterfall clashes against rocks and the river itself. I start walking towards it but Grey stops me by biting my side.

"Ow! Grey..."I whine and turn to him.

"Let me check it out first. You don't know if there is something there."

" I would smell that dumb dumb."

"Not necessarily. And After the shit that was pulled with Tristan, I'm not taking chances. Stay by me, behind me."

Rolling my eyes I slowly nod and he walks through the water, me following closely behind him, walking on the rocks in a small pathway behind the water fall, there's a small cave here.

After walking around and finding nothing, and no one here, Grey decides it's safe and we lay down in the surprisingly warm cave. Grey curls up behind me and licks my fur, I lay my head on his paws and we lay in the comfortable silence.

"Grey?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you. And I missed you so much, and know that I wanted to find every second of everyday."

"I know Phillip. I know you did. And believe me when I say, if I knew that you were bonded to Tristan, I never would have fought with Hunter. I never would have given up for a few years. I would have pushed us both for you. I'm sorry for that."

"You didn't know."

"I should have though. How can I not know my own mate would always be there? I gave up on us Phillip, even if it was for a few years...even until that doctor said Tristan was a wolf. I didn't think I was going to ever see you In this life time, that maybe you didn't make it to this life time. I gave up. And I will never do that again."

"I know you wont. I don't blame you Grey, for giving up. I love you, but if I went fifteen years looking for your mate again, just to find out that it was a human, I would have given up for that time too."

"I love you Phillip."

"I love you Grey."

I start to drift to sleep and slowly I fade away again, switching with Tristan, who stays laying by Grey while I sleep.

-----------------------

Tristan pov.

When I came back to it I'm in a cave with Grey now. He continues to lick my fur as I lay here, my eyes open to watch a waterfall hit rocks harshly. As I lay here I think and think about how this night has played out.

I think it was worth it. Everything is calm, and nothing has ever been this calm. I can feel Phillips emotions and I know that Grey is happy. I'm happy and calm.

"Grey? You know I'm back right?"

"Yes Tristan. I know." He stops licking me and lays his head by mine, closing his eyes.

"Okay, just wanted to make sure."

"I know. You can rest you now, you've had a tough night."

"I know.did..." stopping after a a quick moment, I just shut up instead.

"What Tristan?"

"Did I do okay? Like...everything?"

"Yes Tristan. For how everything played out, you did good."

Okay. Grey, Idon't want to sleep here though." I say lifting my head and looking around.

"Why's that?"

"Because We don't know where we are, we aren't suppose to be out this far either Grey. It's beautiful, and I am sure we'll come here again soon, but I don't want to sleep here. I would rather get back to the house."

"If that's what you would like. Do you want Hunter here?"

I think and Nod as Grey stands up and stretches. He nuzzles my face and Licks me again on the nose, Soon his eyes shift to gold and I stare at Hunter.

"Come on Babe, let's go home." I stand up and Hunter leads us out of the cave and into the woods, past the river and falls.

Hunter rubs himself on trees and scratches at them as we walk, "What are you doing?" I ask as we walk.

"Marking. no one will go there because I'll be an alpha."

"Oh." I say as we walk slowly into the woods, going east towards the house. after an hour of talking and walking we reach the house, emerging from the woods a lot of people from the pack are out side around little fires and such. Marry sits with Lou and Dean, who imminently look at us and come running to us.

I guess Dean was called back too.

Hunter jumps in front of me like a shield and Mary and Dean stare at me in shock,"Hunter? Why are they looking at me like that?"

"because you're white."

"what?"

"Your a white wolf, that fur color is rare, it's...nothing too bad, they just are shocked. I'll explain to you later."

Other turn their heads and walk over too, Hunter stares at them as they walk and I shrink down to the ground and look up at the people as Hunter stays in front of me watching people, see seems really big while I'm ducking down here in the dirt.

Marry pushes them back and the sits on the ground, putting his hand out in front of Hunter. He backs down and walk to me, licking my face as people stare In aw and shock at us.

I guess a black and white wolf pair is rare too. Right?

Hunter tells me it's Fine and that I don't need to hide. Eventually he nudged me forward with his face, almost bitting my butt to get me moving.

I start to move towards Hunters dad and sniff his hand, instantly calming down and rubbing my head against it, Lou comes and pets my fur and giggles at me.

I lick her small face as she laughs and Dean picks her up, Hunter stands by me and I stand up straight on all fours.

"Welcome to the pack Tristan." Dean says as people smile and laugh, everyone has per joy written all over, Hunter licks my face and stands proudly with me at his side. People move back to the fires Hunter and I walk around, finding Dean and Mary with Lou running around them, we sit by them and Mary pets my fur, complementing me and smiling.

She's proud of me.

Lou pets me and Mary sets her on my back, I get up and walk around with her as she holds my fur, Hunter soon chases us and we run around together, playing cat and mouse, everything dies down and soon people head in from the bon fires. Dean calls us in and we run up the stairs to Hunters room.

Hunter instantly shifts and changes as I sit here waiting.

"Hey Phillip?'

'Hmm?'

'Umm, how do I shift back?'

'just think about it and it'll happen on it's own.'

'But the doctor said I might have to stay like this for a while?'
