‘ Rex! Don’t do it, please. You’re gonna change and I like you the way you are already.’ Soul said as she stopped and quickly nuzzled Rex.

‘ Soul, I’m not gonna change. I’ll come back, I promise. Nothing can keep me away from home. I’ll miss you.’ Rex said as he nuzzled back. He then stopped and stepped away. Storm and Blue Sun were with the pack. Rex then walked up to Storm and told him his decision. Everyone then ran off to the forest, Rex took one look back and then turned away.

‘ I’m sorry Soul. I’ve got to go back inside before Siaira wakes up.’ Fly said as she walked back in. Soul sat in the snow and stared at the rising sun. He had only been gone for 5 seconds and she missed him already.

‘ Hurry back. I need you.’ Soul thought as she took one more

glance of the dawn and then went back to her house.

****

By the third day Rex had done a lot already, but he still missed Soul. Soul was the same. She had thought that the week would never be over. Everyone thought that she was ill because she wasn’t herself.

‘ You were my strength when I was weak,

 You were my voice when I couldn’t speak,

 You were my eyes when I couldn’t see,

 You saw what was in me,

 Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach,

 You gave me faith ‘cause you believed,

 I’m everything I am because you loved me,

You gave me wings and made me fly,

 You touched my paw; I could touch the sky,

 I lost my faith and you gave it back to me,

 You gave me the star that was out of reach,

 You stood by me and you stood tall,

 I had your love, I had it all.’ Soul sang quietly as she thought of Rex.

‘ I miss him too.’

‘ I hated saying goodbye to him. I’ve never done it before and now…now it’s changed.’ Soul said as she saw Fly sit next to her.

‘ Yes. I know, I had to say goodbye to my pups and it was hard for me. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things to do in life. That’s what I’ve been saying for ages.’ Fly said.

‘ I know what you’re saying. Rex is a miracle. He’s done so much for everyone. He’s helped form a pack, he saved me from a waterfall, he brought Diamond and Cloud back together, he got Pablo to back off me…’ Soul said as she thought of what had happened over the past few months.

‘ Yes. He has done a lot, I thought that Gabriella would of done that or maybe Kenai.’ Fly said as she sat up.

‘ Whose Gabriella and Kenai?’ Soul asked as she looked at Fly.

‘ Rex’s brother and sister. Two 6-year-old girls adopted them.’ Fly explained.

‘ I wonder what would happen if they knew that you were part wolf…’ Soul said as she gave a wondering look to Fly.

‘ They’d go bonkers on Fang and me. Just like Aleu, that’s what Fang said about Rex when he wasn’t adopted. I hated thinking that he was like her and that he would run away.’ Fly explained.

‘ I need to go outside,’ Soul said as she stood up and walked out the door. Outside, she ran to the town border. When she was at the edge, she thought why Rex had gone. She had finally found someone who had had a hard life with the fact that they were part wolf. 

‘ It’s funny when you find yourself,

 Looking from the outside,

 I’m standing here,

 But all I want is to be over there,

 Why did I let myself believe,

 Miracles could happen,

 Cause now I have to pretend

 That I don’t really care.

 
I thought you were my fairytale,  

 My dream when I’m not sleeping,

 A wish upon a star that’s coming true,

 But everybody else could tell,

 That I confused my feelings with the truth,

 When there was me and you.

 
I swore I knew the
