A wolf dog sat at a window. She was brown-ish grey that covered most of her body except for half of her tail and snout, as they were white instead. One of her front paws was also white. This was Kiara, Rex and Soul’s only daughter still in Nome. She daydreamed about running freely without her parents, just herself. Sometimes she would try to sneak out, but was always caught by Rex or one of her brothers. She was tired of all the rules and limits of her life; she would wish that there were no boundary between Earth and sky.
‘ Kiara!’ Sitka shouted through the window. Kiara jumped from her seat and walked outside where her brother was waiting.
‘ What is it? I’m busy.’ Kiara said. She was very annoyed by her brothers since she was the only girl left. They had turned her into one of them and she wanted to turn back.
‘ They’re having a race by the post office! It’s the big one they have each year!’ Sitka exclaimed as he wagged his tail like a windmill in hyper speed. Kiara changed expressions suddenly as she remembered that she was meant to compete against her great uncle Kodi and her father.
‘ I’ve got to go. Thanks for reminding me bro.’ Kiara said as she ran to the race. Thankfully it hadn’t started yet and she was just in time to get in line. She was next to her dad whose scar still surprised her whenever she looked at it. She saw her mother cheering her and Rex on.
‘ I’m glad you could come.’ Rex whispered as he watched the starting gun lift into the air. Kiara also watched it with her emerald eyes that shined brightly. The gun then fired and Kiara ran. She watched how she passed many of the huskies and Kodi. Rex was in front of her and even though Kiara was his daughter, he wasn’t going to give up so easily. They turned the corner like lightning and stormed towards the finish. Kiara put all her strength into it, but she looked at the sidelines and saw two eyes staring at her. Everything around seemed to slow down as they stared. As soon as the eyes disappeared, she realised that she had won the race! Rex walked up to her with a smile on his face.
‘ I won?’ Kiara asked. Rex nuzzled her as her brothers came up to her.
‘ You beat your old man. It’s hard to believe.’ Rex said as he stopped nuzzling her. She wandered what those eyes were and why they made her stare. It was like they hypnotised her for a moment. She walked home leaving her brothers in the street. Kiara wanted to be alone, she wanted to be a girl again, and she wanted to be free. Soul followed her and left Rex with her sons in the street.
Once at home, Kiara and Soul sat down next to each other and Soul nuzzled Kiara as she cried. Soul knew that Kiara wanted her sisters back so that they could play together again instead of hanging with her brothers. Kiara cried like she was a waterfall and didn’t stop until the sun was down.
‘ I hate seeing you like this Kiara, but I have no idea what to do. I can’t bring your sisters back as they’ve found their place in the world.’ Soul said as Kiara stood up.
‘ I don’t have any friends and I don’t want my brothers with me. All the girls in town tease me about my wolf side and how it’s making me more boy like. I just want to be free to do whatever I want like a real wolf.’ Kiara whispered. Soul tried to think of the right words, but couldn’t.
‘ Kiara, you know that you’re not a wolf. You’re only part wolf and you can’t leave your dog side. You won’t get anywhere without it. Being free isn’t what it’s meant to be. Ask your grandmother, she’s been out in the streets and when your father was young, he tried to be free, but couldn’t leave his life behind.’ Soul explained. She tried to sound strong, but that was Rex’s job.
‘ Your mother’s been with wolves and she probably loved it. Plenty of dogs have been with wolves and they liked it. Why can’t you just let me do what I want? I want to be free from rules and my brothers. I was meant to be like a wolf not a pampered pet!’ Kiara exclaimed. She then howled loudly and annoyingly.
‘ Stop howling! My mother went with wolves because that was the only way that she could survive the famine. She’s gone now and your grandfather probably has too. Seth was killed by wolves and saved by them. Kiara, your sister’s paths are not yours, you chose your own in life. Don’t try and be something you’re not!’ Soul shouted. Kiara felt like running away, but she knew that they would come after her.
‘ You never let me do what I want and I’m tired of it. After tonight, you won’t see me again,’ Kiara said. ‘ You think you know all about me, but you can’t see the sad puppy crying behind my eyes. You don’t know anything, no one does except for my new best friends.’
She ran out the house and into an alley. Soul
