Description of the pack’s home.

A small clearing in the middle of their territory with a den dug out under a large boulder. The den is spacious enough for the whole family to share during the winter months, but is only used by the alphas during spring and summer. The clearing is only about thirty feet from one side to the other, flat, and has other smaller rocks scattered naturally about the whole area. There are a number of nests dug out near the den for daytime leisure.

A/N Now that that’s taken care of; without further delay, I give you the first chapter of Two worlds. Enjoy.

Prologue

The day was struggling to take life as the meager light from the sun battled against the dull grey of morning on its routine ascent into the infinite Alaskan skies. Not much life stirred in the frigid temperatures of the late winters of the North, and yet, two pairs of fresh paw prints plodded side by side through the snow, now becoming hard-packed from the cold. The tracks continued on for another three hundred yards revealing at the end, a pair of wolves padding about with no real intent on getting anywhere; as was the nature of every morning walk that Owaga and her eldest son Kamazi made on quiet mornings such as this, especially when there was good news to be told. Mother and son walked shoulder to shoulder and spoke casually to each other.

“So, Kamazi, how is everything going with Denali,” Owaga asked with a smile.

“I think she is the one mom. Tonight when I go with her on patrol, I’m going to ask her courtship.”

“What news!” Owaga chided happily.

“Yes, but just keep this between you and me; I want it to be a surprise,” Kamazi replied with a broad smile.

“Say no more my son. You have my word; not a breath to anyone about this.” She paused briefly.

“So, have you told your father,” She asked

“Not yet, I was actually planning on telling him before I left,” Kamazi stated.

The pair fell silent for a few moments soaking up the joyful atmosphere they were in.

“So, have you decided on names for my brothers and sisters,” Kamazi asked excitedly.

“Well, we are not entirely sure. We cannot say how many there will be, so to keep it simple, we have thought of names for three boys and three girls.” Owaga paused while she gathered her thoughts. “Let’s see; for the boys we have Faylin, Sam, and Kodiak. And for the girls we have Alaina, Fole, and Fay.”

“Well I like them. I think they will fit perfectly,” Kamazi replied.

The two continued on through their territory, small talking and laughing at things the other said, and finally came near the river that marked the boarder of their home. The two closed the distance in no time and took a refreshing drink of the slushy water, and then turned to make their way back to the den. The conversation along the way was light and sparse as was the norm for the end of these seldom made walks.

Faint barks and the clanking of harnesses echoed softly over the barren land and steadily grew louder. The pair of wolves froze on the spot and put their noses immediately to the wind.

“About seven dogs and two humans,” Kamazi whispered. He took in another long waft and looked over to his mother, “maybe two thousand yards and closing.”

The pair glanced nervously around them.

“It could be a hunting party,” Kamazi continued, “We should go north and give them a wide birth.”

“Ya, how much are we running now,” Owaga joked.

“I think they are giving hunters 60 of those green leaves for just one pelt,” Kamazi commented with a laugh.

The two turned to the north and moved quickly through the forest, making sure they were not followed. The trip took them an extra twenty minutes do to their detour, but in doing this they probably saved their pelts from becoming wall trophies. As the two approached the little clearing they called home, they were approached by four other wolves of different size and color.

“There you all are,” called the brown Cail from his position in the middle.

“Ya we looked everywhere for you,” retorted the rusty colored Kana and the white Ice Wind simultaneously. The pair of speakers shot each other a glare and then laughed softly.

Cail, Kana, Ice Wind, and the unspoken black furred Lundy closed the short distance between them and each took turns nuzzling their mother’s face in greeting. Owaga returned the nuzzles and then separated.

“So dad says we will be going on a hunt in a few minutes, which is why we came looking for you,” Cail stated.

“We can’t,” Kamazi replied, “there was another hunting party in our territory.”

“Another one,” Cail moaned.

“That is the third one in two days,” Kana stated obviously annoyed.

“Ya and they have been causing us quite a problem now that the deer are migrating back through here,” Lundy pointed out with a hint of disgust.

“I know, and it is just too dangerous for us to hunt with them around,” Owaga said drily.

“Well, there is no point in standing out here moaning about it,” Ice Wind said with a sigh of disappointment, “We had better go tell dad to postpone.”

The group fell into a horizontal line and silently walked toward the den. Two wolves of tan and white stood around the lip of the hole and looked up from the ground at the approaching party. The two females padded toward the progressers and met them half way. Kamazi stepped out of the group and moved deliberately over to the tan Juneau and pushed her playfully with his paw. She giggled and punched him less than gently in the ribs. Kamazi made and ‘oofing’ sound and wrapped his paw around his body to comfort it. He looked up and he and Juneau both shared a laugh. He dropped his paw back to the ground and the two stood for a few moments just staring awkwardly in silence. The white Timber came to the rescue and stepped between them.

“Alright you two,” she teased.

Kamazi and Juneau cleared their throats and turned away from each other.

“So where is my dad,” Kamazi asked to both Timber and Juneau.

“Down in there,” Juneau quickly replied with a gesture to the den.

As if on cue, out of the ground appeared frost with a broad smile. He padded carelessly into the middle of his family and sat down next to his mate.

“So what’s news,” he teased.

“Hunters,” Kamazi said coldly.

Frost’s smile faded and he shook his head in anger.

“This is ridiculous, why can’t they go one day without trekking through our land and poaching our game.”

He lifted his head again.

“I guess we will just have to try again tomorrow.”

“We have spotted a herd of about seven deer moving east about one half clicks away from here,”

Ice Wind stated with a small smile.

“Even better, we are not
