‘ I had no reason to not go back home. Just wandering though, why are you so shy?’ Rex asked as he watched the clouds pass by.  

 
‘ I’ll only tell you if you promise to keep it on the down low,’ Talon said. Rex nodded and Talon carried on. ‘ A few weeks ago, something happened, something really bad. I was attacked by a neighbouring pack and they said that I would only live if Storm came back to them and if I said no, then there would be a war. I just ran, said nothing. I was only thinking about the pack, there are not many of us and I’ve seen a lot of wolves killed in my face. All I have are those memories, thankfully I’ll never see a wolf die again, but it won’t matter. Those memories affected me in drastic measures.’  

 
‘ Did you know the packs name?’ Rex asked as he thought that he could probably stop them from attacking.  

 
‘ They said something about shadows or something like that. They didn’t say where they were from.’ Talon answered as Rex’s jaw dropped. The pack could be at war with his old enemies, but there was still a chance at stopping them.  

 
‘ The Shadow pack. My old enemies have returned,’ Rex whispered to himself. ‘Talon, we need to stop them. They’re deadly, they killed so many.’  

 
‘ I don’t really care about other packs. Just as long as this pack is okay, then so am I.’ Talon replied, but before he could say anything else, Rex burst out.  

 
‘ They nearly killed my daughter and you don’t care! You are the most selfish dog I ever met!’ Rex exclaimed angrily.  

 
‘ Dog? I’m a wolf, not some mangy mutt like you or your family!’ Talon shouted without thinking.
