Author's Note:

IT IS VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you read redwolf03's fanfic "Finding Destiny" prior to reading this fanfic. This is meant to be a direct sequel series to "Finding Destiny", meaning your experience will not be as great as it could be (Mainly references to events in Finding Destiny). Generally, reading most if not all her fanfics prior to this will provide the best experience.

I don't claim to be the best writer but I hope it will be good enough for you to enjoy the story. :)

Enjoy,

The Midnight Sun Pack - Pt. 1

Winter

“Ugh…” I moaned upon feeling a wincing pain on my side feeling that had likely bruised on impact. I let out a weak whimper hoping it would help make the pain go away but with no avail. As I lay out on my side whimpering and scared, I slowly open my eyes to the sight of a cave that I have all but grown sick of; I had been beaten down every day of my existence in this godforsaken cave by my two kidnappers, my tormentors. I prayed for mercy as I stayed in my weakened position while I hear the sound that had accompanied my beatings: cackling. It seemed the joke of me getting physically battered provided amusement for Roan and Soran, my personal devils, a joke that has yet to lose its touch, and in my mind it felt like it never would. “Awww, little puppy get hurt?” mockingly shouted Roan holding back his cackling. I thought to myself: ‘What did I do to deserve this? Why me?’ these thoughts echoed and echoed inside my head until something hit me: their voices and laughter suddenly ceased as well as all other sounds. No cackling? No insults being thrown at me? No sounds of my own being breaking a bone against a wall? -- Silence. I opened my eyes – Nothing. ‘Am I dead?’…

My question had gone unheard as I waited patiently in pitch blackness for an answer when suddenly a feeling of warmth swarmed over my body; I panicked over this sensation wondering what was happening to me. A voice followed in pursuit of this feeling saying something I couldn’t quite understand. “De.... He…, …iny—WAKE UP!” I shot up with a small yelp, gasping for air to find myself in a cave… but it wasn’t the same cave that I saw a few moments ago. A conclusion hit my mind that second with relief: ‘I must’ve been dreaming’. “Glad to see you up and about sleepy head” said a grey coated wolf with a sigh. “Next time be sure to huddle closer to me if you’re shivering your pretty little tail off!” the wolf said jokingly.

“Oh stop it Cyan” I exclaimed. Cyan wore a worried face in reply. “I’m fine Cyan alright? I just had a bad dream that’s all”… That’s right. A bad dream, a haunting dream of my pup hood -- with Roan and Soran, memories were flooding back as if a water canal had just bursted open but I quickly thought to myself: ‘These are thoughts of the past, that poor pup isn’t who I am anymore, I am Destiny and I will find a path to the future!—“. Cyan had moved in to nuzzle me around the neck as I thought deeply, I exhaled in satisfaction. ‘Ah, good ol’ Cyan, my mate, a wolf that is a part of my family, my future.’ He fancied a coat of grey fur over his body except for where the fur transitioned into a brown-grey at his hips

It had been days after setting out on a adventure across Alaska in search of my long lost brother, and only hours since I met him and chose Cyan to be my mate just a few minutes afterwards, yet there was still so much to do, yes… so very much to do.

“HEY! EARTH TO DES-TIN-Y???”

Cyan had screamed into my ears in a bewildered tone sending me flying across the cave to land on the back of my head where my body had laid vertically putting all its weight onto my neck. I jumped up from my startled state and roared at the top of my lungs “WHAT?!?!?!”

“Just checking if my mate was broken, and boy oh boy what would I do if my mate could hardly keep herself in this lifetime” chuckled Cyan with a widened smirk. “Then again, I don’t blame you for being completely drained after the adventure you went through, but we should get moving as the days only just begun and I’m sure you’re eager to meet your brother and his family. What was his name again? Barto? Birdo?—“

“Balto” I finally said. “Ah yes Balto, I’m sure you have a lot of catching up to do being separated at birth and all” said Cyan wearing a dumbfounded expression on his face. I felt a little giggle slip up at his expression; “Don’t worry about it Cyan, you only just met him a several hours ago”; “Hah, so you say when you also only met him just ‘several hours ago’ as well!” responded Cyan. We both laughed at Cyan’s expense followed by an everlasting smile as we gazed into each other’s eyes. His eyes were bright blue with a black center, and as I continued gazing I saw a reflection of my own eyes in his sea of blue, my golden eyes, similar to that of my brother Balto’s eyes. “Well, what are you waiting for Destiny? I’m sure Balto is just as dying to see your pretty little face again” teased Cyan.

“Well would the companion of this ‘pretty little face’ escort her to the said persons?” I said pompously.

“Nah, I’m not one for mushy family reunion moments, and if I came, you wouldn’t be able to tell me about your first visit without me sounding genuinely curious” Cyan pointed out with a grin. “Anyways, I got to accommodate your ‘pretty little face’ with some food to keep it healthy. Not to mention marking our territory so other wolves don’t get any ideas”. I made my way to the entrance of the cave and turned around; “Alright then, I hope you won’t be too tired so I can tell you about today’s events!”

“Oh no need to worry, I should be finished just before the sun sets. Have fun with Balto!” I smiled to myself at the thoughts of what a role Cyan would be in my life as I padded outside of our cavern. A sudden call erupted from the cave, feel myself tensing up I turned around. “Oh!—and Destiny tell Balto I said hi!” “I’ll be sure to do so!” I responded, smirking even wider at how we were acting.

As I made my way to Nome, it appeared to be but another beautiful Winter day in Alaska, snow-covered landscapes as far as the eye can see, all forms of trees appearing in no specific pattern, accompanied by a lush sky of light blue with the sun just making its way by a group of clouds revealing the beautiful landscape ever more. This is Alaska, wild, beautiful, and free. Realizing there was no need to rush on such a peaceful day I made my way West towards Nome at a trotting pace. On the way my mind proved to be pretty clear, considering my past where my life had been in shambles, my mind hectic with fear, be it my time spent with Roan and Soran or even my experiences with the White Storm Pack – a shiver shook down my spine, “Heh, seems I’m still not over it” I whispered to myself, but it’s something I will never forget as that is where I first met Cyan… and a certain wolf who does not deserve to be named.

My once thought to be clear mind was clouded with these thoughts as I made my way through the forest. Scaling out of the foliage my eyes locked on the large clearing of hills covered in snow with a cozy town held in the with wooden buildings and tiny black specks moving around as the surrounding hills seemed to act as a snuggly blanket surrounding the town of Nome. I had only arrived to this town in the dead of night a few hours ago, but to see it during the morning was light looking at a painting of scenery, the town seemed gentle and tranquil. To the south of Nome however was a large shore with some kind of large object stranded in the middle of the shoreline which seemed to be a wooden ship. Regardless, I pressed on into the outskirts of Nome and moved toward the same little cottage that I had met Balto in, Jenna’s house wasn’t it? While I approached Nome making my way to Jenna’s house, the town appeared lively with its populace going about its daily schedule, they barely even noticed me as I made my way around. Approaching the cottage I examined at how odd the structure looked, how it was piercing into the sky with a brown roof that seemed was pointed life a spear. ‘I wonder how Balto has managed to live among these strange buildings’.

As odd as it looked I approached until I was next to the structure. I scratched at the door but with no answer, the assumption came to mind that the human from last night had left to go out. I made a move to the nearest window and peered into the house seeing wooden furniture positioned around the room before I saw a resting red and cream colored husky laying on the carpet in front of a fireplace sleeping with four little pups to her side also sleeping. Trying to wake the husky up I started banging on the glass, just then I saw her eyelids lazily raise and a look of confusion on her face as she looked around. I started calling to her: “Hey you! You’re Jenna right? Balto’s mate?” She looked so confused from the sudden noise but nodded, I continued “Where’s Balto?”
