Alue ran through the forest with the clan at both sides, smiling that she had made that escape. She loved the thrill of danger! Soon the other pack were behind and she knew they had given up on her, but that wasn't the last Alue would see of them...

The next morning, after a sleep on the plains out of the forest, she awoke, stretched, and examined around her (so did the rest of the clan). Alue grinned with joy. She had found her perfect home! She was in a valley, with a large cave dug into the side at her right, trees growing on top of it. One had fallen over creating a cosy den at the side. Perfect for the pups.. she sighed. There was a stream nearby for water, and in the distance she could see a caribou heard grazing on the snow to get to the foliage underneath. It really was the perfect home.

The clan watched as Alue decided to check out the large cave. As she stood on the cold floor of the cave, a wolf from the darkness leapt at her, snapping at her head. Alue dodged him and the wolf slid in the snow and ran away. Alue's clan all howled running after him. Alue looked back to the cave again.

"Get back!" A bark bellowed from inside.

Alue stepped back in surprise, "Who is in there?"

"This is NOT your territory! Get out!" The voice snarled.

This was Alue's perfect home, and she wasn't going to give up that easily. She was a stubborn fool. Alue frowned and thought about what to do. What should she do...
