Please don't let it be over.’

‘ That was a good low voice Dakoda.’

‘ That wasn’t me. I stopped, but I heard another voice.’

Rex, realising what he just did, ran back home feeling angry and upset. When he got back, he went straight to his bed with tears on his face.

2 hours later, Fly and Fang came through the door. Siaira stopped them on their way to see Rex.

‘ Don’t go in there. For at least 5 years or more.’ Siaira whispered as she pushed them away.

‘ And why not Siaira? I just want to go in there and say goodnight.’ Fang said as he tried to get pass.

‘ I think you mean good morning. It's way pass midnight.’ Fly said as she got Siaira out the way.

 ‘ How could you?’ Rex asked as a tear went down his face.

‘ What are you talking about?’ Fly asked as Fang backed away with Siaira.

‘ Start with the fact that my hero is my grandfather and that you hid it from me all this time. And that because I’m part wolf I’ll never be accepted by any human or any other dog on the planet!’ Rex shouted as he stomped around the room.

‘ Rex…how did you find out?’ Fly asked.

‘ Siaira told me that you were gone so I went to find you, and I found you in the boiler room with your parents! You lied to me, saying that you lived alone since they died. Well, guess what? You didn't and you never did!’ Rex shouted in reply.

‘ Siaira?’ Fly asked as she growled. ‘ Rex, you were never meant to know until you got over your childish obsession with my dad. Then you wouldn’t be as mad as you are now. We just wanted to protect you. I knew that you would never be adopted because… you look like a wolf, but that’s mainly because you’re German shepherd and you have a few of your ancestors genes.Your brothers and sister looked either like your dad or me or both, but you looked like neither of us. That also explains why you have never been allowed to go to the ocean or where there’s a mirror.’ Fly explained as Rex sat down.

‘ Well then, why did you lie about being on the streets then? You were brought up as a house dog, unlike Balto.’ Rex said as she stood up again.

‘ That part’s true! I have been on the streets. Before me and your father met, was adopted by a young girl, she took me home, but only until I was a year old. She moved to Wisconsin  and she was devastated when she left me behind. I lived on the streets and after a month, everyone thought I was dead, but I visited my family after they heard the news. They thought that I had come back from the dead, but after I told them the truth, Balto let me stay on his old boat while he stayed at Jenna’s.’ Fly said as she thought about her street life.

‘ So, that wasn’t a dream. It was a flashback from my Moms memory.’ Rex thought. ‘I don’t care, but…I hate you, Dakoda!!’

Rex ran out the door.

' You're mad at me aren't you?' Siaira asked. Fly growled at her and walked away as Fang followed her.

 Rex ran to the mine shack, but Rose wasn’t there. All there was was the sound of the ocean waves and the wind crashing against the shack walls. There was a sudden noise, it sounded like sobbing and sniffing. Rex then saw a bundle of white fur.

‘ Soul?’ Rex asked.

‘Huh? Rex, is that you? What are you doing here?’ Soul asked as she appeared in front of Rex.

‘ Yeah, it’s me. I came here ‘cause I ran away from home. I just found out that I’m part wolf; my mother is the daughter of Balto and Jenna.’ Rex said as he opened the door.

‘ You wanna go outside? ‘Cause I do.’ Soul said as she stepped on the glittering snow.

‘ Yeah, for the first time in my life. I’m gonna see what I look like.’ Rex answered as he walked with Soul over to a small beach.

When he got close enough to the water, he bent down and stared. In the water he saw a dark grey coloured wolf, with his underbelly being a colour of light grey and a tail being coloured with that of white and grey combined with that if four black paws. His long muzzle being light grey also with emerald blue eyes gazing from the darkness of his face (He has changed since he was a pup.)

‘ Wow. I do look like a wolf, I never guessed.’ Rex said as he stepped back from the water. Soul looked at him and sighed.

 ‘ Rex. There’s something I need to tell you, but please don’t get mad, but… I’m half wolf. I’m a wolf dog.’ Soul said as she dropped her head.

‘ You are? Like me, but with more wolf ness. I thought you were a purebred Husky.’ Rex said as he lifted her head.

‘ Yeah. My mum was a Husky and my dad was a wolf. My mom died a year ago and my dad abandoned me to go after his wolf pack. My mom was called Isabella and she went looking for food during a famine and she found my dad, Howler. He was the alpha of the Lunar pack.When the famine was over my mom went back, but after a month, she gave birth to my brother, my sisters and me. I went to look for my dad after she died in White Mountain, but he said that he couldn’t look after me because he had too much to do with the pack. So after that I went came here. I found Balto and he understood my pain and he let me stay on his boat . After someone found me looking for food, they took me home and looked after me until I was better.’ Soul explained as memories came back to her.

‘ I too understand,’ Rex then remembered what his mom at sang at the concert. ‘Promises made, not meant to be broken from a long time ago. Oh, so many words still unspoken, tell me how I was to know. I go round and round and round in my head, Wanting to take back whatever I said, No one was right, We all made mistakes, I'm ready to do whatever it takes. I need, my family, my friends.’ Rex then remembered what the song meant.

‘ What is it Rex?’ Soul asked as she saw his face.

‘ I need to go back home. My mom sang a song and…I need to get home. Do you want to come?’ Rex asked as he looked at Soul.

‘ Are you sure? What if they reject me?’ Soul asked.

‘ They won’t ‘cause I won’t, and I haven’t and I never will.’ Rex said as he nuzzled Soul.

‘ Thanks, Rex. You really are a good wolf dog. Not just a lazy Husky like I saw before. I remember a song that Balto taught me because he was different.’ Soul said as she and Rex walked to his house.

‘ Next time Jenna has a concert; you can come with me and sing it.’ Rex said as he reached his front door. When he and Soul walked in, Fly, Fang, Siaira and Balto were sitting by a fire.

‘ Rex? Is that you?’ Fang asked.

‘ Yeah, it’s me. With Soul.’ Rex answered as he put Soul in front of him.

‘ Soul? Soulia? The white wolf dog?’ Balto asked.

‘ Yep, it’s me Balto. I’ve missed you, I
