someone that she admired.

The snow fall furiously so Aleu run quickly dodging every trees and bushes swiftly then beneath the shady sight of the pine trees a waterfall with den beneath the falls appeared caught in her eyes, the water froze at the extremely low temperature, she trotted towards the cave then sat at the cave’s snow floor, she shivered as she felt the snow crunch in her fur She sighed and she saw a cloud of white cloud from her mouth, she was thinking about Lykos oh the very thought of him made her heart beat harder that she thought that she felt it, she was pacing back and forth inside the cave ignoring the chilly winds of winter, then finally with the help of the snowflakes piercing in her eyes, she got tired then soon she lay down farther to the cave then fell asleep immediately.

The next day, the sun was rising from the horizon to the top of the sky slowly in the winter  , a black wolf suddenly open his eyes from his deep slumber he stand up sleepily then stretched his body and yawned, he walk out of the den then blink his eyes a few times when the sunlight mark his eyes horizontally like a beam passing through a wall “Good morning, Lykos” a voice suddenly said then to his surprise it was none other than Aleu the Alpha of the Crystal Lights Pack, his eyes open wide in surprise, Alpha Aleu was standing in the cave entrance *what is she doing there?* he thought to himself then rb his eyes with his legs “um goo…good morning” he said with a sheepish smile on his face “so how’s your sleep?” she suddenly asked and was surprised at herself “um… good its fine though its kinda refreshing because I’m not a fully gray wolf but I’m part arctic wolf” he replied Aleu blinked she was interested at the arctic wolves, who were adapted at harsh environments of tundra. She suddenly thought that she and Lykos will take a stroll in the territory to get to know him but that would be complicated because she was asking her crush… it was one of a shy moments or actions will ever experience by a person who is in love, so she took a deep breath then open her mouth to speak “say um Lykos…” she began to speak “wanna… um… can we walk in the territory together? You know getting to know each other” she said in a very quiet voice Lykos was taken aback his smile earlier was getting bigger “well okay” he replied then together they walk towards the forest, in the shadows of the den an old gray and black wolf sat at the darkness watching his son walk off with the Alpha there was a proud smile in his face.

“wow this territory is so big” Lykos said in awe as they continue to walk the territory, “well thanks” she replied “how did you ever manage to defend this territory?” he asked

“well um… every day the scouts were patrolling the borders usually they ran and some were sitting in their posts, and some of our fighter wolves were also positioned on the  scouts post so when danger is around they were always there, so they don’t need to run all the way just to get here”

“hmm classic but it’s a nice strategy, Aleu”

“Thanks” she replied, she was thinking of a statement or a question mostly so he will talk about his history and her history also

“So um Aleu… where did you came from? Cause I’ve never seen you in the pack before when I was little…” he said hoping to start a conversation, Aleu sighed, finally he ask that once she told her story about her life he might also tell his history so she open her mouth then began “No I was born in a town called Nome… My father is a wolfdog and my mother is a purebred Siberian Husky…” “oh so you’re a half-breed? Don’t worry I love half-breeds ever since I heard about Balto… wait a minute did you say you’re the daughter of Balto?” he asked Aleu nodded “I remember papa said that I got my mum’s eyes which is the most beautiful eyes that he had ever seen”

“well your dad’s right” Lykos immediately said and look at her yellow and blue eyes with a smile, Aleu look down slightly and she felt her cheeks burning red, she cleared her throat then recovered her poise “well when papa told me the truth about my heritage I got upset when he said that because all my life I want to be adopted by a human but no human wll ever adopt me because I’m more wolf than papa so I ran away and ended up meeting Niju, Nava and the rest of the pack so I help them out by crossing the big water with the help of ice floes then here we are in a land where food is plentiful”

“haha wow your very brave” he said trying hard to find a compliment and add it “and stubborn” Aleu added “Wh…..” Lykos never finish his question when he suddenly saw a bear behind Aleu, he immediately jump at her side then push her away from the bear, he lowered his body in a fighting stance then growled fiercely his golden eyes were lock on the bear’s horrible large face, the animal charge towards him but Lykos jump away just in time to dodge the bear’s attempted tackle he quickly jump at the bear’s neck then bite it while scratching his head furiously leaving scratches on its face, The animal shake its head then Lykos was thrown off, he groaned as he landed on his back at the thick layer of snow in the cold ground he immediately stand up then jump farther from the bear as possible so he could look at it in a good view.

Then Aleu suddenly bite its left foreleg Lykos charged at the bear then bite its right foreleg the animal roar in pain then Lykos and Aleu started to pull the bear’s skin trying to rip it if they can At this moment the bear fell in the snowy ground, Both of them let it go then Lykos stood protectively at Aleu suddenly and surprisingly the bear stand up with all of its four legs it was as if the bite from the two wolves were no effect to the animal “Run!” Lykos shouted Aleu bolted off but stop then look back at Lykos who was fighting the bear, she watch him in awe on how good at he was at fighting, running around the bear in circles then biting its fur and skin weakening his opponent by biting its legs incapitating it but suddenly the bear smack his body to the tree with a mighty swipe from its big paws “LYKOS!!” she screamed then snarled angrily at the bear who just a look at her then roared, she charged towards the bear angrily willing to avenge Lykos, she bite the bear’s neck pulling its skin wildly, the animal roared in pain then suddenly she heard running in the snow then out of nowhere a brownish maroon and white appeared out of nowhere followed by five wolves they all charged at the bear with a snarl and their jaws wide open showing their sharp teeth, they bite the bear’s body, the others in the belly but mostly the wolves bite the bear in the neck, the animal fell down the ground then the six wolves jump away from the bleeding creature then the bear stand up then run away “chase it make sure that animal won’t rest in our territory” Aleu commanded breathlessly  “Yes, Alphess”  the brown wolf nodded and bowed in respect before trotting off following the bear’s scent.

She approach Lykos who lie in the snowy ground unconscious, She licked him in his cheek then Lykos slowly open his eyes and look at her with a smile “Hi” he said weakly pretending to be weak so he can know how the Alpha cared about him so much “Are you alright? Can you walk?” Aleu asked frantically, “why of course” he said then slowly sit up but as he slowly rise up their noses touch accidentally, both of them pull back and chuckled sheepishly.

The days passed Lykos and Aleu spend more time to again, the weather was ever so slowly and unnoticeable warm, they were both happy when they walking, talking or joking at each other that their bond of friendship grew, the wolves from the pack were starting to have a relationship so their bonds and love for each other grew so by the time the season of spring arrived they’re love will endure and strengthen each other to raise a family, because of their great love for each other that they’re ready and willing to build a family of their own because love is the most powerful feeling that we ever experienced in our lives, powerful than hate that cause us to do good things because we care for each other that prevents us to do bad things to anyone.

In the middle of the night, the moon was full the dark blue sky was dotted with white stars and some of the stars were blocked by the moving clouds high above the sky some move by the wind and some just stay in one place, A black and gray wolf was walking towards the Alpha’s den, he stop behind the bushes there he saw a Aleu sitting at the entrance of the den. He sighed then a smile started to form in his face *she really sat there and wait for me* he thought, then walk out of the bushes walking towards her “Hi” he greeted her with a sheepish smile “Hi” she replied looking at his eyes “Hey wanna go to the waterfall cave?” he asked “sure” Aleu replied “gotta catch me first” she laughed then bolted off towards the forest Lykos chuckled then run after her, he was immediately beside her then he jump at her then they both roll in the snow surprisingly Aleu landed on top of Lykos at this moment their lips touch Aleu blink her eye wide open then immediately stand up her cheeks were extremely warm and red, they both chuckled then they run again towards the direction of their desired location

As they finally arrived
