Shira won't get ready at all.''

''Yeah.'' Jenna said. ''But that doesn't mean that the threat is gone.''

''I know.'' Balto said.

Later...

''So, were they there?'' Dingo asked Kodi and Dusty, who were resting on the porch of the house they lived in.

''They were, don't worry.'' Dusty said.

''What's up new with them?'' Dingo asked.

''Nothing much so far.'' Kodi said. ''But Forrest told me that he and Winter want to see you.''

''Well, it'd be good to see the old friends.'' Dingo said. ''But I hope they're aware of Shira.''

Over the course of the next few days, the other sled teams were delivering the mail from White Mountain and back to Nome. Each of them managed to return safely.

''It seems that Shira was bluffing.'' Dingo said.

''It might be.'' Dana said. ''But I still believe that she'll strike.''

''But we don't know yet, that's for sure.'' Dingo said.

''Has our musher already found the new dog?'' Dana asked. ''Kaltag's too old to deliver mail.''

''He did.'' Dingo said. ''And you won't believe me who!''

Then Dingo started telling her who was going to be their new replacement while she was listening to it carefully, although it wasn't that necessary.

Two days later...

Dingo and his sled team was going to deliver the mail that day. Before they went to the post office, they headed to their pups, who were in front of Kassan's house.

''You doing fine out there?'' Dingo asked.

''So far, so good, dad.'' Kassan said. ''You're going to deliver mail now, aren't you?''

''Yes.'' Dana said, trying to sound confident, although some nervousness was heard as well.

''Well, good luck, mom, dad.'' Harath told them.

''Thanks.'' Dingo said. ''Remember you two what's your responsibilty.''

''We know.'' Kassan and Harath said, annoyed by their father's commanding for looking after Galena.

''Good.'' Dingo said. ''See you tomorrow then!''

''Bye, dad.'' Galena greeted them. ''Bye, mom.''

Dingo and Dana headed to the post office where their team-mates, Rico, Vincent and Fiona were waiting. However, the replacement wasn't seen.

''Hey, Dingo.'' Rico asked. ''Aren't we going to have that cranky Kaltag going with us?''

''No, Rico.'' Dingo answered. ''The musher has already found someone.''

Then, Dingo's musher came. He was leading a dark red-gray husky with himself. Dingo and Dana looked proudly at the new husky, already familiar to them.

''Well, that makes all three of us in a sled team, Yukon!'' Dingo said.

''Yeah.'' Yukon said, uninterested. ''But I never thought of being in a sled team, y'know.''

''I know.'' Dingo said. ''But you should deal with it, for now.''

''Yeah.'' Yukon said. ''I don't feel like doing this, I wish I don't have to do this furthermore.''

''This is your first race.'' Dana said. ''And if you show to our musher that you're not good enough, then you don't have to deliver mail anymore.''

''Sounds good to me!'' Yukon laughed. Then he took the empty place behind Dingo. His harness seemed to be somewhat loose.

''Ready?'' Dingo's musher yelled. ''Mush!''

Dingo's team set off to White Mountain, being cheered nervously be the other dogs of Nome.

''It seems like all of our sons are in sled team.'' Balto smiled.

''True.'' Jenna said. ''But it seems that Yukon'd do his best not to deliver mail. I don't blame him, because if he doesn't like it, then he doesn't.''

Dingo's team was entering the forest up ahead. Aki was already seen there, preparing to escort them team safely.

''Tundra, look!'' Aki yelled to his sister. ''Uncle Yukon and uncle Dingo are in the same team!''

''Cool!'' Tundra yelled. ''Aki, we should escort them!''

''Got it!'' Aki yelled, escorting the sled team safely. The others saw them and were doing their best to be safe with them.

Soon enough, Naia and Denahi showed up, escorting them as well. As the first clearing was being seen in distance, it meant that they were being escorted out of Nome at last.

''Good luck, uncle Dingo!'' Denahi and Naia yelled to them as they remained behind while the sled team continued to White Mountain.

The team found no obstacles on their way. Although the fear that Shira and her pups would show up and sabotage them was present, she was nowhere to be seen at all.

Later, as the sun was setting.

''At last!'' Fiona yelled. ''White Mountain!''

The sled team managed to enter White Mountain. Dingo's musher brought the mail to the post office, but was greeted by the post master.

''Sir, I recommend you to sleep over.'' The post master said. ''The blizzard is kicking up.''

''Alright.'' Dingo's musher said. ''I'll settle up with my dogs in the apartment for the night. And you send the telegraph to Nome, please.''

The post-master nodded as he brought the mail into the office. Dingo's musher brought his dogs to the apartment to sleep over.

''Now great.'' Yukon frowned. ''Yin might be worrying for me.''

''It seems to be hard for you to be without her?'' Dana asked.

''Definitely.'' Yukon said. ''But at least Yang will be with her.''

Later, everyone except Yukon fell asleep. He was having a hard time sleeping in the apartment, mostly because he wanted to be with Yin.

Suddenly, he heard something like whispering from the window nearby. Yukon got up quietly and headed to the window. The voices seemed familiar.

As he got on the window, he heard a whisper. It sounded familiar: ''Hey, you must be Dingo's brother, right?''

Yukon saw two canines in the dark. One was white malamute while the other one was scarred wolf-dog. He recognized them immediately.

''And you must be Forrest and Winter.'' Yukon said. ''Dingo's friends.''

''Right.'' Winter said. ''Is your brother here? It's important.''

''Hang on.'' Yukon said. He headed to Dingo and Dana's bed and nudged them while saying: ''Dingo! Dingo, Dana, wake up!''

''What...?'' Dingo asked, waking up with Dana. ''Yukon, why're you still awake?''

''Dingo, Dana.'' Yukon said. ''Forrest and Winter are there outside. Below the window.''

And then, Dingo and Dana headed to the window, among with Yukon, and saw Forrest and Winter below.

''Oh, hey, guys.'' Dingo greeted them. ''What're you doing here?''

''We came to tell you something important.'' Forrest said.

''What is it?'' Dana asked. ''And where's Angel?''

''Well.'' Forrest said, blushing. ''She's with the puppies?''

''Puppies?'' Dingo asked. ''Does that mean you're father now, Forrest?''

''I am.'' Forrest blushed.

''Well, can we get back to the important?'' Yukon asked.

''Right.'' Winter said. ''Guys, have you known that Steele has a family?''

''Of course we know that.'' Dana said. ''His mate, Shira, with her pups came last month into Nome and started threatening us. Then they left into the wild.''

''And how do you know who Shira is?'' Dingo said.

''Not long after I became the leader of the pack.'' Winter narrated. ''One of the scout wolves reported us that he saw black husky called Shira with the pups...

...she was furious at your father because he sent Steele to death. One of her pups was being abused for not behaving like them.''

''Tayer.'' Dana whispered.

''And as she threatened you...'' Winter continued. ''...she's up to no good.''

''We know.'' Dingo said.

''To make sure you don't get ambushed by Shira and her pups.'' Forrest said. ''We'll escort you out from White Mountain, okay?''

''Deal.'' Dingo, Dana and Yukon said. ''See you tomorrow.''

''Later.'' Forrest and Winter greeted them as they left. Dingo, Dana and Yukon went to sleep.

The next morning...

Dingo's team was ready to head back to Nome. The musher was preparing to set off and the dogs were in their harnesses. Yukon was in the same loose harness.

''I was sure that I heard voices last night.'' Vincent whispered from behind. ''Not sure who.''

Yukon heard it, but decided not to cause any trouble, but to stay focused on the return. He wondered how he'd get himself expelled from the mail delivery.

''Mush!'' Dingo's musher
