shortly and the back wolves started to slowly melt the ice. After a minute the alpha howled again and the other wolves started to warm the body. At this rate it would take a while, so the alpha had assigned a few wolves to sit back and swap with the ones that were exhausted. After half an hour the ice boulder had been melted more than half. The body was going slower so that it wouldn’t be ready before the ice boulder was gone. One more quarter and the ice boulder was completely melted and the wolf inside was warmed up nicely.

 

The alpha jumped forward and caught the wolf and slowly put her down. A few wolves were still warming the wolf. Finally they were done. The alpha checked the wolf.

 

‘It’s a female!’: the macho of the pack said.

 

Everybody looked at him with disgust. The alpha then noticed she was not breathing. Her throat was not warm enough. He hold a small flame near her throat. Within a minute her body went up and down from her breathing. The alpha motioned the other wolves to stay back so she wouldn’t be startled to much when she woke up. She was in bad shape. The alpha ordered most of his wolves to start melting the forest. He and Kenji and the group Kenji was with earlier stayed.

 

After a while the wolf’s eyes were moving. Slowly she opened them. They were bright blue, but didn’t focus on anything.

 

‘Are you alright?’: the alpha asked.

 

The female wolf was so startled she squeaked and looked around hastily.

 

‘Easy, I’m not an enemy. Me and my pack saved you’: the alpha said.

 

The female wolf looked in the direction of the alpha, but she still didn’t focus her eyes one him. She stood tense ready to defend herself at any time. The alpha stepped forward making a slight sound. The female wolf jumped back in fear bumping against a different wolf behind her.

 

She howled in terror as she jumped forward again and her breathing went rushed. She held her tail horizontal and tense and she growled in every direction.

 

‘Step back Raju’ the alpha spoke calmly. Raju did as ordered and the female wolf turned to the alpha. She strained her ears as her eyes only saw black.

 

‘Please calm down. We will not harm you. We just want some answers’ the alpha spoke gently.

 

The female wolf calmed down a slight bit, still on edge just to be safe.

 

‘W…who are you?’ She asked nervously.

 

‘I’m the alpha male of the Fire Pack. Next to me is Kenji my nephew and four Fire wolves from my Pack’ the alpha stated calmly.

 

The female wolf listened closely and sniffed to find the different wolves. There was one problem. She could smell the six different smells, but she could not tell which one belonged to the alpha or his nephew.

 

She closed her eyes and after a few seconds opened them. However there was no improvement. All around her everything was black and it scared her a lot.

 

The alpha wanted answers to what happened here, but from the female wolf’s movements he could tell she wasn’t ready for an interrogation. Therefore he let her ask what she wanted and if possible he answered them. Then when she calmed down he could ask some questions.

 

‘W…where am I?’ she asked tensely.

 

‘We are currently in a forest where we found you. It’s the territory of the Frost wolves, but rumors said they had abandoned this place one weeks ago’ The alpha said.

 

The female wolf stood completely still as she heard this. She was holding her breath unknown to herself. Her eyes were wide open though still unfocused and her mouth was slightly ajar.

 

‘No, no, no, no, no’ she mumbled as she started to panic. ‘That’s impossible! They wouldn’t leave! Why did they leave?! Why was I left behind!? Dad, mom, grandpa…..they wouldn’t leave me! And Mailo and Pearl.....’ Suddenly she fell silent.

 

The Fire wolves watched her closely as her breathing became ragged. Without any warning she suddenly collapsed on the ground tears running down her face. The alpha was a bit surprised by this, but nevertheless moved closer and carefully snuggled her face. At first she pulled back in shock, but the emotional pain she felt was too big to handle alone. She just lay down letting the Fire wolves comfort her.

 

 

Somewhere far away in the mountains far North a metallic smell filled the air. In the deep snow stood many white wolves staring at something in their midst.

 

An unknown white wolf stood proud and grinning. In front of him lay another white wolf, but it was barely recognizable. It was covered in blood, its own blood. The unknown wolf had defeated the leader of the Snow wolves and took the alpha position over for this pack. Though he wasn’t a real snow wolf there was no one who dared to stand up against him now.

 

The pack made their way to some caves. The former alpha lay dead in the snow replaced, but never forgotten as all the snow wolves loved their former leader and in their hearts they were crying.

 

 

After a while Frosty woke up. She had cried herself to sleep when she broke down. She found she was in a different place as the smells were different and she smelled far more than before. She smelled about twenty different wolves. She was about to panic not knowing what they wanted form her when she smelled one coming closer.

 

‘Hey’ Kenji said gently. The female wolf moved her head in the direction of his voice.

 

‘Hey’ She responded nervously.

 

She hadn’t told them anything about herself, not even her name and she had asked so many things. She kinda felt embarrassed.

 

‘Did you sleep alright?’ Kenji asked trying to sound confident.

 

He was nervous himself. He wanted to know more about her and even though he sensed she was kind, he couldn’t help but wonder if she had anything to do with all the blood in that area.

 

‘Yeah it was fine’ the female wolf responded as she lay her head down trying not to think about what she dreamed about.

 

‘We brought you to the rest of our pack. It wasn’t really a great place to sleep where you were’ Kenji explained to her. She nodded slightly. ‘C…can I….ask you something?’ Kenji asked carefully.

 

The female wolf lifted her head in his direction and tilted it sideways a bit. Kenji took that as the signal to ask away.

 

‘Uhm....can I ask what your name is?’ Kenji asked nervously.

 

‘Oh…yeah. Well I…I’m Frosty’ She said a little afraid.

 

She felt like she could trust these wolves, but she was taught not to give away her name to strangers. Still they had offered her help and she felt like she could at least give them some information.

 

‘That’s a cool name’ Kenji said.

 

Frosty managed a small smile, but it vanished soon after as memories about her family came back. Mailo had said something similar to her.

 

Kenji heard the alpha nearby and turned around to face him. The alpha stopped in front of Frosty who had heard someone coming. She moved into a sitting position her eyes closed.

 

She felt uncomfortable with her eyes open as she couldn’t see anything anyway. It was all black, even after this long. So she decided to just keep her eyes close to let them rest and maybe she could see eventually.

 

‘How are you feeling?’ the alpha asked.

 

‘I’m alright sir, thank you for helping me’ Frosty replied.

 

‘I’ve got some questions to ask you’ The alpha said calmly.

 

‘Alright sir’ Frosty replied.

 

‘First thing, what is your name?’ The alpha asked.

 

‘I..I’m Frosty, sir’ Frosty replied.

 

‘Alright Frosty, you don’t have to say sir every time’ He said. Frosty nodded keeping her eyes tightly closed. ‘Is something wrong with your eyes?’ the alpha asked.

 

‘What? Oh well actually…….I can’t really……see’ Frosty said in a sad tone.

 

‘You can’t!?’ Kenji blurted out. The alpha shot him a stern look. Kenji knew he had been a bit disrespectful by speaking while the alpha was asking questions to Frosty.

 

‘No I can’t see. I could see before, but now not and I can’t remember what happened!’ Frosty said feeling panicked. ‘I can’t remember what happened! I know I was here in the forest and something happened and then I woke up around you and couldn’t see ,but I can’t remember!’ Frosty spoke in one breath.

 

‘Calm down. We will find out what happened’ the alpha spoke gently. ‘Listen you need to know some stuff’ the alpha spoke.

 

Frosty took a few deep breaths and listened to the alpha. Before the alpha spoke she felt something nearby. A wolf was seated next to her. She recognized the smell as the one who came closer a few minutes ago, so it probably was Kenji.

 

‘We heard rumors that something bad had happened with the Frost pack. A week later rumors said they had left this forest. We were traveling at that moment and decided to come see this forest. We arrived here earlier today. Kenji here had found you. Frosty, you were frozen in an ice boulder’ the alpha said.

 

Frosty tensed up and Kenji felt it. He looked at her worriedly. Frosty was breathing ragged again. Memories flashed through her mind. Water, ice, blood, death, betrayal. Her paws shook from the emotional that was building inside her.

 

‘Kael’ Frosty managed to say before tears began streaming down her face and she shook uncontrollably. Kenji softly snuggled her face and she took comfort in it a moment.

 

The alpha knew he needed more information so he pushed on with his questions.

 

‘This Kael, you know him?’ the alpha asked and Frosty nodded more tears streaming down her face. ‘Who is he? Was he important to you?’ the
