smirked, I was still in the water and I was the Moon Wolf, so I could leave when I wanted, I just needed to stay near water.

"You know what's funny?" I began, "That you don't believe me even though I have strong proof that I could be the Moon Wolf." I smirked, and leapt to the stone in the middle of the river.

I lifted my head and howled. That set the Shadow Peak Wolves off for sure. All but Chief, leapt into the water and started towords me. I finished my signal for Solen, Tierran and Aaron and smirked at the approaching wolves. They don't have a chance at all.

When they all leapt for the boulder, I simotainously leapt for the water. I hit the water and swam to the bank while the Shadow Peak wolves struggled in the river.

I walked up to Chief and spoke, "Niju is a bad influence on the pack members." I whispered in his ear as I walked past him, "If I were you, I would baniish him before he recieves Pack scent."

Chief's eyes opened wide in disbelief and spoke to me, "He is my nephew." He sighed.

I stopped and turned to him and asked, "How are you related to David?"

"He is not my son."Chief began, "It is traditon, in Shadow Peak Pack that the leader must chose a wolf to be the heir that is not their own son or daughter."

I looked at him in shock and asked, "Why is this?"

"Because, our pack has pups that are born evil and cursed in their soul." Chief explained, "Our pack is not blessed by Aniu, and the alpha wolf has to chose who will be the heir so, Shadow Peak Pack does not live up to it's rumors."

I looked at him amazed and horrorfied about his pack's curse, but he continued, "Niju is one of the pups that is a burdon and curse to Shadow Peak Pack. He only seeks to be alpha and he will do whatever he can to make it happen."

I gasped at what Chief just said but I heard my pack approaching. I whispered to Chief, "I'm sorry but, I must attack."

He nodded and I growled as Solen, Tierren and Aaron sprinted to my side. The Shadow Peak wolves just got to shore and were speechless when they saw Solen, Tierren, Aaron and I.

They bowed to the ground in respect to my brothers, sister and I. Their tails were between their legs and their ears were so flat it was hard to see them. Even Chief and Niju bowed in respect.

"Rise." Solen ordered.

The seven wolves rose to their full height but their ears were still flat and their tail was between their legs even, Chief kept his ears flat but, Niju just growled in rebellion.

"I am the Sun Wolf, Solen, Son of Aniu." Solen continued proudly ignoring Niju as if he was nothing but the wind.

"I am the Moon Wolf, Luna, Daughter of Aniu." I explained.

"I am the Earth Wolf, Tierran. I am also the Daughter of Aniu." Tierran announced, not letting Niju spoil her moment.

"And, I am the Sky Wolf, Aaron, Son of Aniu." Aaron concluded proudly.

Niju cut in, "I don't believe you! Aniu never existed and the legends are a pup's tale!"

"Niju," Solen began, "You pride makes your thoughts blind."

Niju looked at him in shock as if Niju had never been poned by another wolf like that. His sunk to the ground awkwordly.

Chief looked at his wolves andmy siblings and I. He than said, "I didn't come this whole way only to go home without my pack member."

"He is being guarded by our wolves." Aaron cocked, "He's our prisoner now!"

"Shadow Peak," Chief shouted to his wolves, "Attack!"

The fight was on. All seven of the Shadow Peak wolves ran towords Solen and Aaron. Tierran jumped out of the way as the Shadow Wolves stomed into Solen and Aaron. Solen and Aaron were back to back, clawing and snarling at their opponants.

Tierran and I saw Chief as he ordered the wolves to kill Solen and Aaron.

"There!" I shouted and sprinted onto Chief and threw him off his balance and into the river. "Help the boys!" I shouted.

Tierran turned her head to the brawl and leapt onto the other wolves and one by one crashed them against the hard ground with Solen and Aaron.

I turned to Chief who desperately climbed onto the stone in the river with a cut leg. I snarled at him and said, "David was in Shaded Forest Territory! He is our prisoner for trespassing!"

I walked into the river, it seemed my blood turned to water. My ferioucity grew as I felt blood mix with water. The Shadow Peak blood was dark and evil, and now it will run through me forever. I now felt the anger and hate that the cursed pack had.

"How could you poison me with your dark blood?!" I screamed at Chief who was bleeding in the river.

"You need to understand." Chief whispered as I swam to the stone and stood in the water, "The water gives life to those that give it blood."

I looked at him wide eyed, "How did you?!" I shouted.

"You were in the water, that's how." Chief smirked the evil grin of the Shadow Peak pack. "And now, I have another life."

I growled at him and said, "I will make that one now!"

I tackled him off the rock and we both fell into the water. Chief's bleeding ended and the growth of evil in my soul stopped. I heald my breath and pushed Chief into the water. He fought but I bit his back paw and dragged him down to the bottom of the deep river.

The currents spun him around as we floated down stream. I shoved him into the currents quickly, and swiftly moved out of the way of his attemps to grab me.

I went up for breath and dove again, "I'll end it now!" I shouted to Chief as he flailed in the currents. I dove under him. He went over my head and I hit him right in the chest. Chief screamed for the first time. He went limp but he was still breathing.

I got out from under him and burst out of the water. I panted and noticed his eyes opened and he tried to go to shore. "Oh no you don't!" I shouted.

I heald my breath and dove under water after Chief. I grabbed him by the tail and pulled him underwater. He chocked and gagged in the currents at the bottom as he struggled to free himself.

I went up again for air. When I saw where I was my eyes widened in shock. The sound of the river falling off the cliff scared me. A waterfall. I heald my breath and dove under to find Chief to see if he drowned.

I saw him as he churned with the water in the current. I swam after him to see if he was still alive. When I came to him his eyes widened and he chocked. I looked ahead under the water but it was too late. We were a few feet away from the fall. I grabbed him and pulled him to the surface. We burst out. The last thing I saw was Solen, Tierran, Aaron, Pablo, Alina and Balto screaming my name. Then it all went black.

 

 

 

I opened my eyes. It was all a huge blur, then a black and red blur appeared. I shook my head and focused on the blur. It was a wolf. Then I remembered, Karl! I struggled to my feet but he noticed me and walked over.

"You sure did want to kill yourself." Karl cocked, "You took a big fall."

I shivered and chatted my teeth and replied, "Th-thanks."

"Why were you in the river anyways?" Karl asked as the sun went down and red and pink rays danced across the forests.

I then remembered what happened, I turned my head away from Karl and said, "Shadow Peak Pack, that's what happened."

The moon began to rise over the forest and I said to Karl, "I need to get to the river."

"Ok." Karl said, "But don't you need to go to the Tree of Hope?"

I stumbbled onto my feet and lied easily, "I have to get back to my pack first."

Karl got up and went over to a bush and picked up a rabbit and dropped it at my paws, "Eat. You'll get energy."

I looked at him and the hare than sat down and ate it quickly. When I finished I asked, "Don't you need to find Pablo and Alina or your pack?"

"They don't care about me." He said, "I hate my family."

"Well," I sighed, "To be honest with you I hate my family too. But they're all I have left."

I stood up and walked to the river and stared at my reflection. I was my mother's reflection, except my black moon parted me from her. There's always going to be a dark side of the moon, I thought.

"Karl, go home while you can." I ordered to him as he walked towords me, "I need to be alone for a while."

But Karl continued towords me as if he didn't care, "Why are you acting this way?"

"Just go home." I said to him, "Thanks for saving me but I can manage." I stepped into the chilled water. A volt of energy shot up my spine and my eyes widened in shock but, I went on.

I heald my breath and dove underwater. I walked on the bottom of the deep river and floated on the currents on the river's floor. The fish swam around me and played around me.

When I got to the other side of the river I looked back, expecting to see Karl but, he was gone. I didn't look back again. I walked into the forest shadows.

Once I was at the Tree of Hope I sprinted to the den entrance. I dove into the dark shadows of the cave under the tree's roots. I landed a white pelt like mine. It growled at me and I pinned him down. Then I saw his face, Pablo!

"Sorry, Pablo!" I apoligized." Where's Alina and Balto?"

"We fed Balto the hare," Pablo began, "And,"

"And what?" I asked.

"I'm
