sun. They kept walking as Aniu stared at him.

Finally they turned a corner and he stopped. Then he turned towards the hill but they couldn't climb it because it was too steep. Then Aniu noticed a small hole in the side of the hill big enough for a wolf to fit in. He stood back and waved his paw towards the entrance. "Ladies first,"he said smiling. He giggled and smiled at him as she squeezed inside.

It was quite tight as she traveled through the zigzagged tunnel. Her nice white coat began to turn brown as the dirt rubbed on to her body. Soon she found herself in a much bigger cave like area. She could lift her head up and walk around normaly as she looked around. It was dark and damp except for the light through the hole she had just come. Soon the light was gone and Jones appeared. "Jones is that you?"she asked squinting to see through the darkness.

"Yes its me Aniu. Don't be scared I'm here,"he said. Then she felt his fur rub against hers. She backed away. "Jones aren't you taking this a little too fast?"she said. What was she saying? She loved him since she first saw him. "I'm sorry,"he said quickly as he too backed away. "I wasn't thinking.I'm sorry Aniu."

They stood there in the darkness for some time before Aniu sighed. She walked towards him (or what she thought was him). She then felt his soft fur and beating chest and she knew she was right. She nuzzled his chest. He moved away from her. "Aniu are you sure? I'm not forcing you to...love me,"he said to her through the darkness.

"No,"she whispered nuzzling him again,"I do love you." She felt him nuzzle her back and they stood there nuzzling and kissing each other. Aniu knew her father would disaprove of this but she didn't care. Besides this could do no long term damage.

That night they sat there nuzzling and kissing each other. Aniu had never felt so happy as the two teen's sat there together in the darkness. Then she slept beside him in the dark damp cave for the rest of the night.

The morning came quickly as she awoke in the cave. He smiled as her drowsy eyes fluttered open. She looked over to see Jones was gone. "Jones?"she asked franticlly."Jones?" She quickly zigzagged her way out the hole and into the bright sun light.

She jumped around looking everywhere. Did he leave her already? "Jones!?"she yelled.

"What?" Jones asked as he came from around the corner. She ran over to him and and kissed him and nuzzled him. "Woah whats wrong?"he asked her.

"Oh I just love you,"she said as she kissed him again.

"Well if your done with the kissing,"he laughed,"we've got to eat."

"Oh come on,"she said walking down the beach,"the hunters have probabley brought back a caribou or two." Together they walked down the beach the sun rising over the water. She looked out at the ocean."Don't you ever wonder,"she asked him still walking.

"Wonder what?"he asked.

"What its like beyond here?"she asked nodding her head towards the rising sun.

"Nope not for me,"he said,"I'm fine right where I am."She smiled at him and looked back out at the ocean as she sighed.

Soon they reached the hill. They walked up it to see the den and the other wolves walking around. They looked at it for a few minutes. Suddenly someone was calling her name. She turned to see Galileo walking towards her. "Where have you been?"he growled.

"What do you care?"she asked him.

"You were supposed to look after the pups last night,"he snarled.

"So? Its not that hard for you,"she said.

"Well mom was worried. I'm gonna go tell her. Your gonna get Aniu, your gonna get it good,"he said running towards the den. Aniu growled to herself and started walking towards the den. How was she gonna tell dad about her little nuzzle game with Jones?

Suddenly she stopped dead. Her eyes widened, her claws came out, and her fur stood on end. Before her eyes was a picture with faded edges. It was a picture of the pack coming back with two caribou. She shook her head and came back to her senses. Her claws returned to her paws, her eyes closed and her fur flattened out. "Whoah,"she whispered.

"Aniu!"Jones yelled running towards her,"you okay?"He nuzzled her as sweat pored down her head. "Ya,"she said breathing heavily,"ya I'm fine."

Her ears perked up to hear howling and barking. She gasped when she saw the exact same picture of the pack pulling back the caribou. She shook her head again and breathed slowly. Nothing was wrong... she was just doing...weird stuff. Ya! Thats it! Its happens to everyone...right?

That evening Aniu was on the hill nuzzling with Jones. She had stayed clear of her father the whole day by staying with Jones. But she had more fun than she thought she would with him. He really did love her! She smiled as they nuzzled their tummies full of caribou meat. Luckily she had gotten some time to steal a bit of meat for them since the pack wouldn't allow Jones to eat with them.

She looked at him and into his eyes. Then she heard a voice in head. 'I wonder if she really does like me?'the voice said.

"What did you say Jones?"she asked him.

"What?"he asked,"I didn't say anything."

"Didn't you just say...uh never mind,"she said looking away. Then the voice came again.'Uh I really wanna go the next level with her,'the voice said. She smiled when she heard those words. So he did feel the same way as her! But she knew she was the one who had to say it. "Jones,"she said looking at him. 

'Is this it?'the voice asked.

"I have to tell you something,"she said.

'Please be you love me, please be you love me,' 

"Its just,"she said.

'Take it easy Jones. Let her do it,'

"I want to go the next level,"she said smiling.

'YA HOOO!!!!'

"Aniu thats wonderful!"he said jumping around her.

"I realized that we belong together,"she said nuzzling him. He nuzzled her back as they walked down the hill and on to the beach. The moon shone over the glittering waves as they stared at each other. Soon they found themselves outside their new 'den'. She squeezed in first and found herself in the dark damp area again. This time it felt like...home. Jones ended up next to her as they nuzzled her. That night they mated for the first time in both their lives.

For the next few weeks the new couple spent every moment with each other. Never had their eyes left each others. Her father still did not approve but let them be. Aniu had not told anyone in her pack that she had mated with Jones who was a dog. But what did she care that he was a dog or what her family thought? Her heart told her that they belonged together.

Then one day she felt kicking in her tummy."Jones!"she cried."Your going to be a father!"

"A father!"he cried with joy as they nuzzled together in the den. That night they kept their paws on her tummy feeling their pups sqirm and move inside her.

The day after that they were walking together through the forest. They laughed together as he tried to flirt with her. "Silly you've already won my heart,"she giggled nuzzling him.

"But I don't wanna loose ya,"he laughed nuzzling her back. Suddenly a loud bang was heard. Aniu ducked as the sound flew over her head. But she screamed as she saw Jones fall to the ground. "Jones!"she cried putting her paw on his wound. He was breathing heavily as her tears dropped on to his fur."A...n...niu. I want y...you to know I...love you,"he said breathing heavily.

"No Jones don't talk like that,"she cried."Your gonna be okay!"Her ears perked to hear the sounds of crackiling leaves. It was footsteps and they were coming closer. "Aniu...g...go! He'll...get...you...too,"he said.

"No I'm not leaving you,"she cried.

"Aniu listen...to me. We'll see each other...in heaven,"he said to her.

"But I can't just leave you,"she said.

"Aniu! You've got to take care....oh the pups,"he said. Aniu looked at his eyes. They had a pleading look in them.She knew she had to look after their pups and the pack. She cried as they nuzzled and licked each other for the last time. Then with tears and blood staining her white fur she ran away from him not looking back.

She ran down the beach as the sun was covered by clouds. Soon the rain poured down as she ran up the hill and towards the den. "Aniu?"her mother asked as she ran in the den. Aniu noticed it was only her mother and herself in the den. "Where is everyone?"she asked shaking her fur.

"Thats the thing hunny,"her mother said.

"Whats wrong mom?"Aniu asked sniffing back her tears.

"Your father. Your father is...dead,"she said. Anius whole world was gone at the moment she cried as hard as she had never cried before. She lay down and cried as her mother backed out the den to leave her alone. Aniu cuddeled close to her stomach whispering,"I'll take care of you."

The next morning Aniu awoke to her first morning as the alpha. She shook her fur and looked around at her pack. They were sleeping with frowns on their faces. They loved her father as much as she did so they too felt like their worlds were torn apart. She trotted over to her mother and tapped her on the head with her paw. Her mother shook her head as she woke up. She looked at her daughter as Aniu moved her head motioning for her mother to follow her outside.

Once outside Aniu turned to look at her mother."Mother as you know I'm now alpha,"her mother nodded to this,"so it is my responsibility to take care of the pack no matter what. I have decided that we will leave here, today." Her mother gasped and looked at her daughter."But Aniu our clan has been here for generations. We can't leave."

"But mother the two leggeds are moving in on our territory. We can not fight them any longer. I suggest moving further northward away from the two leggeds packs,"she said bravely. Her mother opened her mouth to argue back but stopped."Thank you mother,"Aniu said,"can you please wake the pack. I must tell them the news."Her mother nodded and walked away. Aniu looked at the sun whispering,"I miss you both."

Soon the whole pack was waiting and
