after a good swim so don't worry about me slowing you down on today's hunt," Max said after a while,Aniu just smiled and wagged her tail, "Listen Aniu about last night I was only being friendly I mean like you were when you licked my foot," "Max I know you were only being friendly I didn't mind what you did just, I....a leader is not to get that close with her clan," "Then that's not go by rank, after all there is only two of us, let us be at the same rank and do as your mother and father start our own clan where we are the alphas," "How do you think we should do that?" "Well we'll have to find a few banished dogs and some lone wolves but first maybe we could umm....preserve what's left of your old clan," Aniu laughed,"Well Max your thinking ahead of youreself aren't you? What makes you think I'll even let you breed with me?" "Easy your a beatuiful young strong female who I'm guessing will go into heat soon and I'm a tall strong hansome young fertile male that has a lot of experience with fights," "Fights not girls? How do you know your fertile if you've never bred?" "Easy, the one thing my old musher ever talked about was how he was going to breed me all these girls he thought would be perfect for me," Max said with a smile. Aniu just laughed and kissed him on the cheek, Max blushed and splashed water in Aniu's face. Aniu gasped,jumped up and splashed him back,Max growled playfuly and sunk into the water only to appear after tripping Aniu up under the water and letting her land backward in the water.

The next few weeks were filled with Aniu and Max wrestling,playing,hunting, and racing thru the forest like they were 6month old pups. Late one night on Aniu's 30th day into heat, Max planned a specal date for the two of them that envolved them going into town. "Aniu come with me we're going into town,I'd like to show you a few things," "Max are you sure we should go into town?It may not be safe," "It'll be fine I know how to sneak around, we won't get caught and even if we did the two of us are to fast ta get caught," Max said with a smile as they walked out of the safty of the forest. Aniu wasn't completly confident with the idea of the two of them going into town, but she trusted her mate,Max and she knew he was right when he told her they were to fast to be caught. When they reached the outskirts of town Max looked into her eyes deeply and smiled, "We'll be alright baby I know will," Aniu nuzzled Max and silently they entered the town. Once there, they kept to the ally ways untill they came an open window in the butcher shop. Max and Aniu listened and smelled for signs that the butcher was still working. All was silent so they jumped into the window and sniffed their way to where the meat was kept, "Here it is babe all ours for the pickin," Max whispeared,Aniu smiled,grabed roll of saugages and wrapped them around her neck, Max did the same with a different sausgage and picked up a t-bone steak. The two of them left quickly and Max led Aniu to a crawl space that was under the doctor's office. There they rested the stolen food onthe ground and Max looked at the broken bottles on the ground, "Whats wrong Maxie?" "The bottles they might hurt someone I should move them," Max said and he pushed them into the light that showed from the doc's office and beautiful colors filled the room where they were, "Oh Max it's....it's....wow,"Aniu said in awe, Max smiled and sat close to Aniu,nuzzling her as they began eating.
