from behind Kaltag. Unfortunately, it was Jenna. A part of Balto died that moment.

“Balto flirting with Meria in an alley way.” Kaltag said. He then smirked at Balto. Jenna looked at Balto

“Is that true?” She asked as a tear ran down her face.

“of course not.” Balto said, “She cae up after I left and wouldn’t leave me alone. That’s all.”

Kaltag rolled his eyes, “Yeah, right.” His friendship with Kaltag just ended at that moment. He walked away.

Balto walked up to Jenna and said, “You know that’s not true, Jenna. Don’t believe it!”

Jenna looked in his eyes and she knew what the truth was, “I believe you.” She licked his cheek.

Balto sighed in relief, but then frowned as kaltag stormed off, “Give him some time. He really liked her.” Jenna reassured him. Meria then walked out of alley way and also stormed off.

“No.” Balto said, “I need him to believe, or else nothing will ever be different. Kaltag will still hate me, and probably get the whole town to hate me again.” He then followed Kaltag to where he walked off.

He was on his porch waiting for his owner to get home from work. He was looking down.

“Kaltag?” he asked as he walked up, “I didn’t flirt with her, I swear on my life that I didn’t. You have to believe me.”

Kaltag looked at him and then said, “I wasn’t mad at you,” he paused, “I was mad at the fact that Meria refused to go out with me because she tried to be with you.”

Balto looked down, “I’m sorry, and for the record, I don’t think she would have liked me if I wasn’t some kind hero.” He looked up at Kaltag, “Friends?”

Kaltag sighed, “agreed.”

         His owner let Kaltag in after a few minutes and Balto left to go see Jenna. She was in the boiler room and had her head down. He walked up to her nuzzled her face.

“What’s wrong, Jen?” he asked. She looked up at him and a tear came out of her eye.

“It’s just,” She sniffed, “Everything is different now. You are a famous person now, and now everyone wants to be with you, including Meria.”

     Balto hadn’t realized how much pain she was going through at moment then reassured her, “Maybe, but I fell in love with the girl that loved me before this all happened.”

She smiled and licked his face. Her filled with faith she leaned on his shoulder. They closed their eyes as they nuzzled each other. Then someone came in the room and laughed.

Balto, with his eyes closed, said, “Can you please give us about two minutes?”

“Sure,” the person said, “anything for the person who ruined my brother’s life.”

Balto opened his eyes to see Dusk in the room, and was not alone. There was a black female husky standing in the doorway. She glared at Balto, and then at Jenna.

“What do you possibly want, Dusk.” Balto growled. He hated nyone who was a-part of Steele’s family.

“Same thing as you, to spend alone time with my mate,” he pointed to the female with his nose. She smiled at him and continued to stare at Jenna.

“What an unlucky girl she must be to be with him,”Balto thought to himself. The female looked at Dusk  and nuzzled his face with her tail, “We were just leaving.” He said, then he and Jenna made their way out of the room.

“so where can we go now?” Jenna asked, she seemed upset about Dusk ruining everything.

Balto got a really crazy idea, “You know, you’ve never seen where I live. Why don’t we go there?”

Jenna agreed and the couple mad their way to the ship wrecked boat.

Balto and Jenna walked up to the boat and Balto warned, “We have to be quiet. I don’t know if Boris is there or not.”

Jenna stayed quiet and Balto took her below deck where a lantern hung from the ceiling, “It’s as cozy as your bed or the boiler room, but-“

He got interrupted by Jenna nosing him, “I don’t care as long as I’m with you.” She then nuzzled Balto’s chin with her tail. He chuckled and blushed a bit. She smiled and whispered, “I love you.”

Balto whispered in her ear back, “I love you, too, Jenna.” Then on that night, they had never loved each other as much as they did. Balto lie down in his sleep with his new mate.
