pack was waiting and chatting outside the den. Aniu made her way to the top of a medium rock to see all the wolves. They stopped as she sat down on the rock. "My fellow pack members. As you all know my father has apointed me as the new alpha if he had ever come to harm. I have chosen to do something that many of you may not agree with but I believe it is best for the clan,"she shouted. They listened to her closely. "I believe we should move northward,"she said. Grumbling was heard when she said 'move'. "We can't move!"a wolf yelled,"Our ansestors were here!"

"Yes I know that but the twoleggeds are moving south into out territory. I have never seen so many in one place. This pack of two leggeds are too strong for our pack and they are reproducing quickly,"she said.

"So what you just want us to give up and leave?"another wolf yelled as the others agreed.

"Listen,"she growled jumping down into the crowd,"soon they'll be here. You'll wake up to see one in the den! Our pups will be killed as will we ourselves for fur and meat. Soon we will have no wolves here and our clans history will be dimished." They all thought as she glared at them.

Suddenly her mother walked up beside her. "I agree,"she said. The others chatted with each other. Soon they all nodded sadly knowing they'd rather keep their lives then their lands. "Then let us depart now,"she said walking towards the forest. They all looked back at the den and the ocean once more before following. "Mum!"Aniu called to her mother."Lead them northward. I've got to go get the slackers."

 With that she ran back to see mothers and pups still at the den. The mother was trying to pick all three up together but couldn't. "Galileo!"Aniu yelled for her brother. He ran up to her asking her what she needed. "Pick a pup my man. Your carrying one,"Aniu said picking up a brown one in her mouth. Galileo grunted but did as he was told. He picked up the gray one and the the three wolves and the three pups ran to keep up with the rest of the pack.

Soon they were half way to where Aniu thought would be a great place for the clan to settle down. She had taken her mothers place and the lead of the pack and they had found other fae's to help carry the pups. Her mother was bringing up the back and happily they had had no problems since they left their home. Aniu turned to see the pack yawning and walking slower. The sun had indeed moved across the sky very quickly and it would soon be night, too dark for the pack to continue walking. Aniu looked around the flat territory they had entered. There seemed to be no place of shelter except for the forest ahead. She knew they could rest there, it was only a bit further.

Galileo ran up beside his sister breathing heavily from running. "The pack is getting tired Aniu,"he told her.

"I know,"she said staring at the forest.

"Shouldn't we stop to rest?"he asked.

"No,"she said bluntly,"too many two legged packs here. We must get to that forest."She nodded towards the dark forest that was getting closer. Galileo nodded and was about to run back to the pack but Aniu said,"Galileo. I need to talk to you."

"About what?"he asked as he continued walking with her.

"Well I need an advisor and dads advisor,Luna, dislikes me too much to work for me,"she said.

"What are you asking sis?"he asked excitedly.

"Well I want you to be my new advisor Galileo. You wanted to be the alpha so I guess this is second in line to that,"she smiled and winked at him. He smiled at her estatic about his new position in the pack. "You mean I don't have to look after the pups? And I can come with you on fights with the two leggeds?"he asked excitedly. She nodded and her jumped for joy."Thank you Aniu! I promise I won't let you down!"He returned to his place behind her whispering to himself about what he would tell his friends. She smiled and rolled her eyes to herself as they continued walking. 

Later she realized they were in the forest she had seen. It was dark and had plenty of space. She sniffed the trees looking for scents of other wolves but found none. Happily she trotted up to her tired pack. "Good news!" she said,"we have found a new home!" They looked around for a miniute or two then walked off to find a suitable den. She watched them pass her, tired and angery.

Soon enough a young grey wolf called out that they'd found an old fox den. So the male wolves began digging it out to make it bigger while the fae's kept watch over the pups. "Mamma,"a pup said to his mother," I'm hungry."

"Yes,"the fae said to Aniu,"we're all starving!"

"Well we've just got here. Once the males dig out a den we can..."

"No I want to eat now!"the fae growled.

"Stand down!"Aniu snarled as her height towered over the skinny fae. She slunk away growling to herself. Aniu galred at her then glared at the others who were staring at her. "You all have something to say?"she snarled. They went back to work and busied themselves with somthing.

Aniu had never felt so powerful before. They all did as she told them. She was their life line...their only hope. She looked at a small puddle of melting snow under an evergreen tree. She gasped as she saw her eyes had narrowed. But why she thought to herself. Her eyes used to be so large and round before her father died. Then she remebered her father had narrow eyes unlike any wolf she had ever seen. Was it magic she thought as she touched her muzzle with her large paw."Sis!"she was startled by a voice. It was Galileo walking up behind her. "Sis you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost,"he said in a concered tone.

"No,"Aniu said breathing heavily,"No I'm fine. Is there something wrong?"

"Well no,"Galileo said,"The males have finished digging the den. Their waiting for further instructions."

"Okay,"Aniu said breathing slowly now,"Tell the hunters to go out and find a caribou or two."He nodded and sprinted away towards the males. Aniu watched him telling them the news and then they all nodded and ran off to find food.

The pack had soon settled into their new home. A few months later Aniu was in the den. She was breathing heavily as he mother licked her head. She was in labour. She cried as she felt the pain inside her body. "Make it stop," she cried out. Her mother was close to tears as she saw her daughter go through so much pain. She still didn't know what had happened to Jones and she didn't even know who her mate was. "Calm down,"Sheen said licking her head.

Finally the first pup arrived. It was a grey one with white around its paws and patches around its eyes. "Oh I'll name him Alaska in honour to our home,"Aniu said between gasps. The pup squirmed towards her stomach squeeling for food.

Next a small white pup came. She had black at her paws,the tips of her ears and the tip of her tail. The rest of her was pure white just like her mother. "I'll name her Nimbus,"Aniu said. Sheen pushed the small crying pup to Aniu's belly.

Soon after a cream pup came. She was all cream except for her grey ears and white belly. Her paws were also a greyish color. She was a mix of her father and her mother. "I'll call her Viera,"Aniu said as Sheen pushed the pup towards Aniu's stomach.

At last the fourth pup came. He was brown with darker brown ears and cream colored paws,belly and muzzle. "Why he looks just like a dog,"her mother said looking at the crying pup."Aniu. You didn't!"

"Mother!"Aniu said pushing the pup to her belly,"I loved him and I didn't care what kind of animal he was."Her mother growled and walked out the den. Aniu snarled at her as she left but turned her attention to the smallest brown pup. She licked his head as she whispered,"I'll name you Jones after your father."She galred at the den entrance again,"no matter what type of animal he was."She looked back at the pup,"he was a great canine and my best friend. I'll never forget him as long as I have you all with me."

One month later the pups grew so big that they could walk. Alaska, Nimbus, Viera and Jones Jr got along together very well. They wrestled and played tag and hide and seek. On the other hand Aniu was exausted each day. She had not left the den since she had them and really need food and water since the pack left her alone to take care of the pups. They wanted to give her privacy but all she wanted was company.

One morning she awoke before the pups did. She yawned as the pups stirred at her stomach. Quickly and quitely she pulled herself to her wobbling paws and exited the den for the first time in a month.

The sunlight hit her eyes as she squinted. She breathed in the freash air. Then she padded down to a small stream for a quick drink. She gulped it down and said,"ahhhh!" But as she looked down she saw a shadow behind her. She turned to see two shadows now creeping around the den. Now she was a fair distance from the den so they couldn't see her very well or not well enough to attack her. 

She creeped towards them and gasped as she saw them enter the den. The pups! She dashed towards the den and squeezed inside. Then she looked wide eyed at two twoleggeds picking up the pups! She barked and growled as they turned around. "Look Frank! Its one of em narrow eyed wolves!"one two legged said.

"Ya so it is,"the other said,"she'd be a bute to take back to Washington eh?"The other nodded and together they creeped towards her as she snarled at them. In the process the two legged dropped the bag letting the pups tumble out. "Alaska, Nimbus, Viera ,Jones get out of here now!"she growled at them as she backed away leaving a clear exit for the pups. They did as they were told and scattered out the den. One two legged noticed this and took of after them. But Aniu was too fast it'd not even left the den before she had pounced on it. It howled in pain as she made a large gash in its left arm.

Then before the other could catch her she too dashed out the den's exit. She squirmed her way through and took off in the other
