collided with Conan and with its weight knocked Conan away on to the snow where he didn’t move as the black wolf looked up to see the man standing there looking at him.
Instantly the black and brown wolf had second thoughts as they ran threw the group of huskies and in to the forest leaving the huskies and Conan at the tent.
As the wolves ran the black wolf turned to the brown wolf and said angrily. ‘We must warn our pack about this intruder.’
‘And not to go any where near that wolf who is traitor to his own kind.’ The brown said spitting as he ran in to the distance leaving the camp site behind them.
Conan slowly opened his blue eyes and saw the man standing a few feet from him, instantly Conan jumped back to his legs and growling snapping at the man as he back up away from the tent.
Koara looked at Conan and went up to walk to him but the man quickly grabbed a collar she was wearing and held her back. The man seemed extremely confused as Conan stood there watching him closely, he knew he should run but something felt different as he stood there looking up at the man who seemed to be just as confused as he was. Had he really just saved the life of this man and these huskies?
Chapter 7 Man
The Man suddenly let Koara go and she bounded up to Conan who was still on edge looking at the man getting ready to run at any moment. ‘It’s alright Conan he won’t hurt you…’
Koara said looking at Conan who seemed to have other ideas as he took a step back away from the man as the man stepped closer to him. Suddenly the man turned around and walked back in to his tent leaving at Conan at ease for a moment before he returned.
The man threw something down in front of Conan making him jump back at snap at the man who simply watched him before walking back in to his tent leaving the dogs and Conan alone.
Looking down Conan sniffed at the piece of meat the man have given him and scoffed at it as he looked away wondering why he was still here. ‘Eat it Conan its just meat he gives us that’s all.’
Koara said looking at Conan who refused to eat the meat that was thrown in front of him. He was a wolf he could hunt and bring down his own food he didn’t need this man to feed him like one of those huskies. He was more then capable to do things on his own.
The huskies who were watching nearby slowly walked up to him but kept their distance as Conan stared at them coldly with his blue eyes. Alden looked at Conan and they exchanged a deathly stare before Alden walked away and laid down in front of his masters tent and didn’t move.
‘I’m not on show.’ Conan growled at the five huskies who were all staring at him and Koara.
‘Clam down they’re not going to hurt you’ She said staring at the other huskies who quickly shook their heads.
‘Can-Can I have that?’ One of the huskies said looking at the meat on the ground in front of Conan who still refused to eat it despite that he was hungry.
‘Take it away I don’t need to be feed.’ Conan said at the husky who quickly slinked up and took the meat away and quickly ate it. The other huskies slowly disappeared and laid back down near the tent as Conan still stood up away from the tent not wanting to go any where near the man. ‘Why did he give me that?’ Conan said looking at Koara who was smiling slightly to herself before looking up at him.
‘I think he was saying thank you for saving him.’
‘I wasn’t saving him…’ Conan said and looked away before continuing.
‘I was saving you.’
Koara looked shocked for a moment before blushing under her thick coat. ‘You know I can take care of myself.’ Koara said smiling happily as Conan looked back at her and smirked before laughing.
‘I believe you.’ He paused ’You have to leave here they’ll be back and I have to go.’ Conan said quickly looking away from the tent and in to the forest knowing that the Mountain Pack would soon be back in greater numbers for revenge on not only him but the man and the huskies
‘We’ll leave in the morning so why don’t you stay and leave in the morning to, it’ll be safer.’ Koara said looking at Conan who looked reluctant as he looked in to the woods. He knew he should be getting back to his pack, he’d been gone nearly two days and if he knew Aleu she’d be worried about him. He sighed also knowing that Koara was right and that it’d be safer during daylight.
‘You go sleep with the others and I’ll just sleep here…I don’t want to be to close to…’
‘I understand.’ Koara said looking up at Conan before smiling and walking back to the tent and laying back down. Conan smiled at her for a moment before slowly laying down resting his head on his large paws as he looked out towards the tent. Was he really staying because it’d be safer in the morning or was it because the man had intrigued him? He was really confused as he slowly drifted off into a light sleep.
When Conan woke early the next morning he quickly jumped up not realizing he’d fallen asleep. Looking over to the tent he noticed that it was still there and that all the huskies were still asleep.
Standing up Conan slowly edged closer towards the tent but what caught his eyes was a few feet away was the material that held the dogs together when he saw them running. Feeling a little excited he ran up to the material and looked at it not sure how the dogs managed to be connected to it.
‘You like that do you boy?’ Came the voice of the man as Conan instantly turned around hearing only the muffled sound of the mans voice as he approached. Conan instantly ran a few feet away looking at the man who had bent down beside the material and stroked it gently. As he watched the man he didn’t feel afraid but rather sensed that he wasn’t in danger, he knew a wolf would have run away or attacked the man by now so why hadn’t he?
‘You’re a strange wolf. You looked exactly like a wolf but you protected me and my dogs who invaded your land and then I find you sniffing around my sled equipment.’ The man sighed as he looked at Conan who didn’t understand a word he was saying as he watched him carefully. For some reason Conan felt himself walk forward till he was so close to the man that he could have easily touched him. The man didn’t looked scared as Conan sat beside him looking down at the sled ropes. ‘You’re a strange one boy.’
The man said as he got up causing Conan to jump back in surprise as he walked back over to his tent. Conan smiled to himself as he looked down at the material not realizing Alden was watching close by.
Chapter 8 The Sled
Conan sat beside Koara as they watched the man slowly put the tent away and put it back on the sled to move off to a new area hopefully away from his family and pack mates.
‘Where will you go now?’ Conan asked looking at Koara who seemed to shrug to herself before looking up at him.
‘Where ever our master wants to take us I guess.’
‘Why do you do as he says? Why don’t you run free like me and the wolves?’ Koara sighed as she watched her pack mates play amongst themselves.
‘We’re only huskies Conan we’re not brought up or born to be wild like you.’
‘I was born to run.’ Conan said smiling looking at the sled where the man was slowly starting to get the dogs in place before calling for Koara to come over. Koara looked up at Conan and thought for a moment before smiling and running up to the man and jumping playfully at his legs. The man patted Koara as she motioned Conan over but he just stood there reluctant too get any closer to the man and other dogs.
‘Come here boy…’ The man said bending down and motioning Conan over towards him. Conan looked at the man and slowly took a step back still feeling unsure the warning of Alue’s still playing games in his mind.
Koara ran over to Conan and pushed
