‘ No. I can stop the fight.’ Soul said as she stopped Kiara rounding up her brothers. They ran off to the alley where Rex and Bust were circling each other.  

 
‘ Bust, I’m sorry that I took Soul away from you, but even if you kill me it won’t make a difference. Killing me won’t bring her back or the rest of your gang.’ Rex said.  

 ‘ Stop it,’ Soul said as she walked towards Rex and Bust. ‘ Bust, I know that I walked away from you, but you weren’t right for me. You misunderstood me, like Pablo. At the beginning you seemed like a very nice wolf dog, but when we were on the verge of life and death, I couldn’t handle it so I found Balto and an owner. Fighting my mate won’t bring me back. I’ve got a life and you need to accept it.’

 
‘ I know, but I wanted to be in your life forever. When you left, I couldn’t handle it. Make a choice Soul. Me or him.’ Bust said. Soul didn’t need to decide, as she already knew the answer.  

 
‘ I’m sorry Bust, but Rex is the one for me.’ Soul replied. She and Rex walked away with Kiara in the middle. Laddy, Lassy and Emerald walked up to him.  

 
‘ I think the human life would be better. Sorry Bust, but we’re out of here.’ Emerald said. Bust’s mouth dropped. He could believe what was happening until Laddy bit his tail and made him crash into a pile of crates. All three walked into the streets of Nome leaving Bust under the crates.  

 
Soul and Rex led Kiara to her house where her owner was looking at old photos of her. She walked through the dog door and barked. Her owner turned around to see her dog smiling at her.  

 
‘ Kiara! You’re not dead. I was so worried about you.’ She cried as she hugged Kiara tightly. She remembered the day that her owner gave her a name. She seemed to read Kiara’s mind and know her name.  

 
‘ Debbie. I’m home.’ Kiara whispered to herself. Rex and Soul were peeping through a window, but left their daughter to catch up with her owner. They walked back to their homes knowing that it was their real home and it would never change.  

 
In the alley, where Bust had been crushed, two eyes glowed underneath the crates and in the wind was the sound of growling. 

 
The End.
