bouncing off the wolves. Glowing yellow eyes began to show in the darkness, frightening Quincy a little.

"Aniu?" the yellow eyes asked. The eyes stepped out of the darkness, revealing a wolf that looked like Aniu. "Aniu, I was so-" The wolf paused, and glared at Quincy. "Who is this disgusting monster?!" the wolf growled, fur bristling.

Quincy looked taken a back.

"It's alright, dad, he's just a friend," Aniu tried to calm her father down. "Aniu, may I please talk to you alone?" Yestin asked, glaring at Quincy, and leading Aniu deeper into the cave where Quincy couldn't eavesdrop on them.

"Aniu, how can you bring such a monster into our home!" Yestin scold his daughter, cuffing her hard on the ears.

"He's not a monster, dad, he's a friend," Aniu snapped back. "He's a  very good dog, I met him yesterday."

"Well, why can't he just go home instead of following you around all the time!" Yestin snapped.

Aniu lowered her ears a little. "He doesn't have a home..." she muttered, still looking at him. "But he's my friend, and I can't just leave friends all alone out there. Can he please stay? Just give him one chance, and if you screws up, I'll send him away." She promised.

Yestin thought long and hard about this, then made up his mind. "Okay, only one chance though!" Yestin growled and padded away.

Aniu sighed and walked back over to Quincy, trying to act bright. "Well, my father told me you can stay, so welcome to your new home!" Aniu yipped cheerfully.

Quincy barked happily. "Yahoo!"

It has been two months so far since Quincy became an unofficial pack member of Aniu's pack, the Spotted Pack, and Quincy was already getting everyone's respect. Even Christi seemed to enjoy him, but still not Yestin.

One day, Quincy was looking for some food for Yestin, Christi, & Aniu, until he got distracted by a familiar smell, that he hadn't smelt for two months.

Quincy followed the scent, which led to a small river. Quincy ran along side of the river, wondering if it led to whatever smelled. Quincy gasped and stopped as he saw a familiar female husky that looked like him.

"Viviana?"

The female husky looked up, a little startled, and blinked at Quincy, confused. "W-W-What...?" she studdered. The husky stood up and studied the male. "Quincy...?"

Quincy nodded excitedly, panting happily. "Viviana! It really is you! What are you doing here!"

Viviana shrugged. "I don't know, Vaughn showed me this river, and I like it here, so I come here alone sometimes." Viviana began to blush all of a sudden. "Do you notice anything... different?"

"What?" Quincy asked. "Is there something in my teeth?" Quincy smiled sheepishly, showing his fangs.

Viviana giggled. "No, silly! Something about me!" Viviana laughed.

Quincy blinked, a little confused, and studied her. He checked her face, which seemed the same, then he looked at her stomach. His eyes went huge. "Wow, no offence sis, but you've packed a few pounds for the past two months..." Quincy muttered quietly, half to himself.

Viviana couldn't help but laugh harder. "That's because I'm pregnant, Quincy!" She kept laughing.

Quincy's eyes went huge. "Pregnant? Who's puppies!"

Viviana tried to calm herself. "They're Vaughn's," she responded, blushing a little.

Quincy raised a brow at her. "But I thought you always liked Maxwell."

"Well, I did, until he disappeared..." Viviana grumbled.

Quincy looked even more confused. "What do you mean, disappeared?" Quincy asked, a little worried.

"Right after you left, a week later, he disappeared and he never came back for a month and four weeks. The next door neighbor dog said Max ran off with a female silver wolf from a pack called Blue Pack, but I don't really believe that," she sighed. "I was a little upset, because I knew that Maxwell had finally found a mate, and I was too late to confess my love to him. Vaughn was there to cheer me, and he did it well. So I began to fall in love with, and I found out that he had the same feelings for me always, even when I loved Max, so that's how I got pregnant. I got more month to go, then the puppies are born."

Quincy couldn't help but grin, knowing that he was going to be an uncle and all. "Well, congratulate Vaughn for me next time you see him, okay?" Quincy asked.

Viviana blinked at him in surprise. "You mean, your not coming back with us?" she asked, her voice a little shakey.

Quincy's smile disappeared and he lowered his head in sadness. He was always close to his sister when they were puppies, but he also loved Aniu for than anything in the world. He had no choice. "Well, I met a friend of mine, and I have these... odd feelings for her, though I'm not sure if she feels the same. Emilianno chased me away and told me to never come back to the farm, and she was the first dog... I mean wolf... to join her family, and I accepted that. So now I have to stay with her, to find out if she feels the same, and to make her happy."

Viviana's ears twitched. She lowered her head also. "I understand, Quincy," she sighed. "I hope you have a good life, and don't worry, I'll congratulate Vaughn for you. Goodbye, Quincy. I'll always love you like a brother." After those last words from his sibling, she turned around and walked away slowly.

Quincy watched as his sister leave, feeling guilty for what he had decided. He guessed he was stuck with it now and always, never aloud to go back to change his mind. He sighed and turned around, walking slowly, and never looking back at his home, his old home, his birthplace, where he was always welcome with open arms from his masters...

Quincy made it back to camp, where Aniu was waiting for him. "Where were you, Quincy?" Aniu asked, jumping up to her feet and rushing over to him. "I was worried!"

Quincy looked at her, ears twitching. "I went to go hunting for food, but I got distracted by something, that was troubling me from hunting, so I came back," Quincy lied. He didn't want the pack to know what he had expierenced with his sister, especially Yestin, since he was the alpha male and all, which made him very strict and sensitive about everything, of course...

Aniu smiled warmly, not sensing how Quincy was feeling inside right now. "That's strange! One of my friends said he was going to teach you how to hunt today! Will you still accept the turoral though?" Aniu asked, her tail swaying excitedly.

Quincy couldn't help but smile, staring at her cute grin, and nodded quickly. "Sure, I guess," he shrugged. "So where is this friend of yours?" Quincy looked up before Aniu could reply and saw a wolf walk up beside Aniu.

"Quincy, this is my friend, Kweku," Aniu introduced. "Kweku, you know Quincy, don't you?" Aniu asked, looking up at him. Kweku just nodded. "Okay then, go have fun!" Aniu yipped happily.

Kweku & Quincy nodded, and they both ran off side by side to go for Quincy's hunting lesson. Quincy began to think that the day wasn't going to be too bad. At least hunting would get his mind off of the conversation he and Viviana had not too long ago. Maybe he could even develope a friendship with Kweku and he could have another friend.

Quincy's ears twitched to the singing birds in the trees. He looked at his surroundings in the den, seeing that all of the others were still asleep. He grumbled. Why was he the one that always woke up first and wolves were always so lazy and had to sleep in late?

Quincy got up and went outside, looking around for something to do until the others were awake. He decided to patrol the area to see if he could scout out anything like an enemy wolf, or food.

Quincy looked around for a very long time, looking and looking for about a good twenty minutes, thinking that it was fine, he was about to go back to camp, he smelt something terribley wrong. He followed the scent, which led to an unknown wolf, sniffing around the place, knowing that it must have been an enemy, Quincy quickly hid behind a tree, and began to peak at the wolf.

It was a male, and it didn't seem like a rogue, since there was no trace of battle scars or wounds on him, and he looked pretty large and healthy to live his whole life as a loner. There was suddenly more scents, like his, and Quincy definetly knew what was happening. An enemy wolf pack was going to attack for their turf. Quincy turned and quickly began to run back to the pain part of their territory, and was relieved to see that all of his comrades were just waking up.

"Alert! Alert! Enemy wolf pack is coming straight our way to attack!" Quincy stated loudly, for everyone to hear. He caught everyone's attention, and there was a lot of pressure. They all gasped and began to chatter among theirselves, until they heard Yestin's voice shout over theres, which caught the whole pack's attention.

"We won't just stand here like a bunch of idiots!" Yestin growled. "Let's get out of there and fight them!"

Everyone began to cheer all of a sudden, and they all turned towards and started to charge through the forst, Quincy right behind them.

They finally found the other pack, and they were all charging at them, making Quincy a little scared. This was his first battle, so he didn't want to screw up.

The wolves finally met in battle. There was balls of fur scratching and clawing and snarling at each other. It lasted a good ten minutes.

Quincy finally got one wolf down quickly. It was a female, and he had her pinned, looking frightened.

"Please!" the female pleaded. "Please don't kill me! I've
