Conan- Son Of Aleu
Trailer: Conan was the only pup of the Alpha Female Aleu and Alpha Male Ty in a wild wolf pack. Despite that Aleu is more dog then wolf, Conan looks more wolf like then both her and Balto, he has inherited his fathers wolf genes. If he looks more wolf then why does he have a strange passion for racing even though he’s never seen or heard of a sled race or team? He is next in line to be the Alpha Male of the pack but a burning desire inside that he tries to hide is slowly controlling his destiny in another direction.

Chapter 1 Future Alpha
Conan’s blue eyes flashed with excitement as he ran across the snow which covered a huge glacier inside his packs land. Every step left deep paw prints in the snow which disappeared behind him as he ran with the wind in his face feeling almost as though he was flying.
The ocean nearby was rough because of the oncoming storm and Conan could hear the waves battering the glacier and large chunks of ice falling into the water which echoed like thunder. The huge glacier was so wide that you could barely see the other side. It was barely visible but in the distance huge pines trees rose into the sky.
Skidding in the snow that was as soft as silk he made a quick turn and started running back towards the pine trees and away from the glaciers edge. As he ran lighting flashed behind him but it didn’t even stir him as he kept running his powerful muscles pushing him forward like the wind pushing against him didn’t exist.
Conan had a pitch black nose and a pelt that was a mix of grays and black. From under his muzzle and the underside of him to the tip of his tail he was a dark grey which slowly melded to a light gray which covered the rest of his body. He had a black patch around both eyes and a black mark at the back of his neck. He had powerful legs and powerful teeth just like a wolf, he hunted like a wolf, lived like one and was ranked accordingly.
His mother Aleu was the Alpha Female of his pack and was growing quite old which meant she would soon give the pack over to Conan.
The pack had grown to at least 20 wolves of varying ages. His mother never spoke of the land before the pack arrived here and she vaguely mentioned his grandfather but never who he really was or his heritage all Conan was told was he was full blood wolf.
The storm behind him had caught up quicker then he expected and before he knew it he was soaked through as the ran drenched his pelt making some hair fall into his eyes.
As he reached the giant pine trees covered in snow he slowed down as he trotted over to what appeared to be a small den beneath one of the trees.
He slowly walked in and shook all the water off his fur as he smiled and looked at his mother and father who were at the end looking up at him.
‘Where were you Conan?’
Aleu asked frowning slightly looking up at Conan who had sat down looking at them.
‘I was out running again’
Conan said simply as he looked at the den entrance where he could see the rain. Meanwhile Aleu looked at Ty who was almost a completely black wolf and they both exchanged worried glances.
‘Son wouldn’t you rather be out with the pack I believe there a few who would like to met you’
Ty said smiling as he walked over and sat beside Conan who turned to look at his fathers green eyes. Ty was the Alpha male and Aleus mate.
‘Father I’m fine I love running, in the snow in the water against the wind…it doesn’t matter’
Conan said simply looking away from his father who just sighed.
Ever since Conan was only a pup all he had done was run no matter where he was. He had a passion for running and a curiosity that his mother said would kill him one day.
‘You need to spend time with the pack’
Aleu said in a low tone looking at her son who looked back at her frowning.
‘You will be the Alpha Male soon and you must learn about your surroundings and your pack’
‘I know mother…’
Conan said in an almost growl as his father stood up beside him almost sensing the tension between them.
‘I’ll be back later’
Conan said looking at his father before quickly leaving the den leaving Ty and Alue looking at each other.
‘I don’t like him doing this’
Aleu admitted and sighed as she walked over at sat beside Ty who smiled down at her.
‘He’ll stop once the alpha male position hits him hard’
Ty said looking out the den at the rain. Aleu just sighed as she looked away knowing that even though her son was more wolf then her he had a passion for running just like a sled dog. She had only lived in the human world a year or more but she knew a born sled dog or sled wolf when she saw one.
She smiled it was the passion Jenna had told her Balto once had. But now her son who’d never seen or heard of a sled dog team was acting just like one of them and it scared her.
Aleu wanted to protect her son and so had never told him of his real heritage, about people or sledding because she wanted him to be all wolf.
‘I hope so Ty…’
Aleu said as she nuzzled Ty but still looked unsure.
Meanwhile Conan had stopped walking and was standing on a small rock that looked over some of the land that his pack owned. In the distance he could see the ocean which he knew was so large that he could never see the other side.
He didn’t understand what he was doing, he loved running but he knew it wasn’t normal for a wolf to act like that but then what was this feeling he had inside that told him to run?
Conan growled to himself as he looked out to the distance, he was all wolf and always would be. Frowning he stormed away the rain slowly starting to stop as he broke into a run going deeper into his future territory to hunt.

Chapter 2 The Unknown
The rain slowly started to subside and Conan sighed in relief as he shook his fur trying to get the water out of his eyes and ears. He was quite far from the alpha den but it didn’t bother him because was normally on his own ever since his friends never quite accepted him because of his running passion.
When he was only a pup his friends used to play with him because they enjoyed his company but when he started to beat them at races and at play fights they slinked away and excluded him from games up until now. Since they found out he’d be future alpha male of the pack they all suddenly started crawling back to him but he just sneered at these attempts to get close to him.
Conan could almost call himself cold and dark because of the wolves who kept ignoring him and not appreciating his passions until they found he was in power.
His large paws splashed the large puddles on the snow as he walked through the forest which was absolutely silent because all the animals were away hiding from the storm which was slowly subsiding.
The tension his father felt between him and Aleu had always been there ever since he was a pup. Conan wasn’t quite sure why but they had never seen eye to eye and still didn’t. His mother never told him about his heritage, his past family or even where she had come from. Most of all he resented her for not supporting his running passion. She was always telling him he needed to be more reasonable if he was someday to be the leader of the pack, he knew that there was some truth in it but that still didn’t change anything.
Stopping where he was Conan hung his head low looking at the white snow on the ground as he sighed. He wasn’t ready to be the alpha he wasn’t ready to do this, something inside him was telling him something else and he didn’t understand what it meant. The only person who knew about what he felt was Aleu who he knew would never tell him.
Hearing a sound behind him Conan quickly jumped around and barred his teeth as he looked into the thick forest of trees searching for any sign of life. He smelt the air which was better then his eye sight as he looked at the shadows to see if any of them moved.
‘Come out right now’
Conan growled as he slowly started to walk forward towards the area where he heard the sound. He was powerful like a wolf and was much faster then any other wolf in his entire pack which gave him a distinctive advantage.
Suddenly from the shadows a wolf much the same size as Conan appeared staring at Conan with their brown eyes. Conan didn’t recognize him from the pack so he knew he must be an intruder and intruders in the wild were dealt harshly with. Stepping forward growling Conan was about to attack when the wolf in front of him stepped back in a submissive stance making Conan stop looking surprised.
‘What are you doing in our land?’
Conan said edging further as the wind picked up creating a mist from the fallen snow on the ground.
‘Strange beings have captured my pack and now they’ve moved into your land’
The wolf whimpered as he looked at Conan who simply frowned.
‘Don’t lie to me, you must be seeing things now get out of here’
Conan was surprised at himself for being so lenient to this intruder, a wolf would have killed him on sight but for some reason Conan was stopping himself from doing that.
‘I’m not they’re on the glacier’
The wolf said backing up even more as Conan was almost right in front of him. Conan’s expression changed as the wolf mentioned the glacier that was near his home.
‘Show me’
Conan ordered looking at the wolf who seemed reluctant at first but soon ran off into the forest followed by Conan who was in close pursuit.

Once they arrived at the edge of the glacier they both ducked behind the trees as Conan could see a vivid image of something moving at the edge of the ice.
‘There’
The wolf said looking at Conan before slowly backing up. Conan was to busy looking at the sight to realize the wolf behind him had disappeared leaving him alone. When he realized the wolf was gone Conan turned around and yelled.
‘Get back here’
The other wolf was obviously gone Conan thought as he growled but just turned around and looked back the strange beings on the glaciers snow covered surface.
It couldn’t be wolves he thought to himself as he edged closer out of the cover and into the open towards the strange beings. Wolves didn’t run in a straight line of twos and certainly didn’t carry anything large behind them and were connected by a strange material.
Curiosity made Conan run forward towards the sight and as he got closer only more questions popped into his head. Soon enough he was only about 10 meters away and was easily keeping up with the team of animals that looked like smaller wolves which were all connected by a strange material. They were pulling something that stood on two legs and was looking at him as he ran.
All the dogs that were on the team stared at each other as Conan ever so slowly edged towards the team feeling an excitement he’d never felt before. His powerful legs pushed him forward till he was in front of the team.
For a moment he completely forget that these were strange beings and it felt almost natural to be running side by side with them with the wind in his face.
Suddenly everything snapped into reality when he felt something hard hit his back and he immediately tripped over what ever it was as he fell crashing to the floor as the group of wolf like creatures ran past him all laughing as they did.
He slowly came to a stop on the snow and looked up realizing the strange creature had thrown something at him. He watched them disappear in to the distance as he lay there watching them his heart beating fast wanting nothing more then the quickly catch up but he knew he shouldn’t.
Hanging his lead low for a moment he slowly got up and started to walk back to the forest to tell the pack of what he’d seen, he had a feeling Aleu might know what they were.

Chapter 3 - Desire
‘I don’t want you to go any where near them’
Aleu ordered looking at Conan who was staring at her coldly. She was standing in front of him with Ty behind looking at them both reluctant to get involved.
‘I ran beside them they looked so much like us…’
Conan said remembering the strange wolf like creatures connected by the material that was pulling another strange creature.
‘Gather the pack’
Aleu said as she quickly walked out of the den and out on to the snow leaving Ty and Conan alone in the den.
‘Why can’t she ever talk to me…?’
Conan said to himself holding back his anger as he quickly walked to the entrance of the den where his father quickly stopped him but Conan didn’t let him speak as he quickly walked past to gather the rest of the pack wondering how on earth those other wolves were so dangerous and why was Aleu so afraid of them?

‘I’m glad you’re all here…’
Aleu begun as she looked at all the wolves who looked up at her.
‘Strange creatures have entered our land and I don’t want anyone approaching or going near them. They are dangerous’
A chorus of whispers suddenly broke out as Conan stood in the middle looking up at his mother wondering whether or not to speak. Even though Aleu was his mother she was also the Alpha Female who looked after the safety of the pack and whom every pack member had respect for.
‘Why are they so dangerous?’
Conan said stepping forward looking up at Aleu who was standing on a small rock looking down at her son. Everyone in the pack whispered again but Conan just ignored them as he waited.
‘They have weapons and will harm you and I don’t want anything happening to anyone in our pack’
‘The rouge wolf I saw said that they had captured his pack mates’
Conan said turning around to look at everyone as though enforcing the warning what Aleu had just said.
‘Stay safe everyone and if they are seen again tell me right away. No one is to approach them’
Aleu said staring at her son who wasn’t looking at her but rather at the expressions of his pack mates. Conan remembered his mother telling him that her pack had traveled across the ocean for safety and for food and he believed that the pack was starting to get scared and perhaps were starting to regret the decision.
Slowly the pack started to disappear leaving Conan alone as it started to snow softly making him shiver. He watched as a small snow flake landed on his cold wet nose and for some reason he suddenly got a strange feeling as he slowly walked forward into the pine forest towards the glacier.

When he reached the glacier he looked behind him to make sure no one was following him as he ran over the snow towards the tracks the others had left. The snow had almost completely covered them up but using his keen sense of smell he quickly followed it across the glacier hoping to find the group.
As he ran he realized he was getting dangerously close to the edge of the glacier and when he looked out to sea he could see the pack ice in the distance slowly starting to break up and turn in to huge ice bergs. Over the edge of the glacier was a huge drop that no one would be able to survive and there was no other way down because he’d tried to find a safe way down countless times but all the times ended without a safe passage.
Conan suddenly skidded to a halt on the snow as he smelt the air realizing that he was leaving his packs territory. His pack was named the Glacier Pack and a similar sized pack called the Mountain Pack owned the land beside them. Most of the time they lived happily side by side as long as they didn’t venture into the others territory.
Considering the options Conan stood on the edge for so long that he felt his paws being buried by the snow. Breathing in deeply he took a risk and stepped over the invisible border till he was completely in the Mountains Pack territory. Looking away from his usual territory he started running again oblivious to the dangers that lurked all around him.
He knew he was different and that these strange beings were the answer to his questions and he had to risk everything because he just had to know who he was and why he looked exactly like a wolf but had the passions of some thing else.
The glacier slowly started to get smaller as he came closer and closer to the pine forest and mountains in the distance. Once he reached the pine forest he smelt the air and smelt something different as he stopped and looked around him, something wasn’t right.
As Conan looked in the shadows he didn’t hear something approach him from behind and before he knew what was happening he turned around in time to see something behind him.
The wolf like creature looked straight at Conan with its teeth bared and in a defensive position. Starting to regret his decision for a moment Conan looked at the aggressor and knew he had come and so he had to finish what he had started no matter what.

Chapter 4 Husky
As Conan and the other creature circled around each other he suddenly remembered seeing her on the glacier when he was running beside them. Before he had time to say anything she jumped at him causing him to jump back avoiding the attack. He knew he had to defend himself but if she was who he thought she was she might be able to answer some of his questions.
‘Move away from here’
She growled at Conan who kept his ground.
‘Who are you? I know you’re not a wolf’
Conan said looking at her noticing that she was obviously smaller then he was which meant she couldn’t be a wolf because nearly everyone in his pack was about his size. She was also a red-ish color which he’d never seen before.
‘Does it matter I’m telling you to leave’
She jumped at Conan who easily jumped out of the way.
‘Just fight me or leave’
She growled as she frowned looking at Conan who smiled to himself.
‘I could but then I’d win…’
‘You’re very confident’
She said slyly watching Conan closely before back off a little and sighing.
‘If you were a wolf you would have attacked me by now’
‘My names Conan and I’m a purebred wolf’
He said proudly looking back at her who still seemed on edge. She had a dark red and red colored fur with a black tip at the end of her tail and brown eyes.
‘My names Koara and I still I need you to leave’
Koara said sternly looking at Conan who had relaxed slightly.
‘Don’t you remember me I was running beside you and the others on the glacier?’
Conan said looking at her and taking a step forward which made Koara instantly jumped back away from him.
‘You tried to attack us’
She said backing off a little as Conan looked confused.
‘I was running beside you I was never going to attack you I was intrigued by what you were doing I’ve never seen something like that in my life’
‘You’re going to be seeing a lot of us around because my owner has…’
She quickly stopped realizing she had said too much.
Owner? Conan thought to himself as the word kept going in and out of his mind. No one had an owner in the wild everyone lived free and did what they wanted. Wolves never had an owner unless she was talking about an Alpha Pair but even then why did she use the word owner?
‘What are you? Who’s an owner?’
Conan asked looking at Koara who was still on edge.
‘I’m a purebred Husky and my owner is the man’
Koara said proudly standing up tall.
‘Husky…is that a type of wolf because I’ve never seen anything like you around here’
Conan asked smiling up at her and took a step forward which made her instantly step back.
‘Why are you scared of me?’
He said stopping where he was and sitting down making Koara stop and look back at him.
‘You kill dogs, you kill animals…’
‘I kill to survive but I’ve never killed a Husky and trust me I’m not going to start now’
Conan growled angrily making Koara instantly be quiet.
‘I’m sorry’
He said quickly looking away surprised at himself for apologizing.
‘Please leave Conan. I’m on watch’
‘Maybe I can stay and keep you company then?’
Conan said happily as he quickly jumped back up and ran over to Koara who didn’t seem to stir as he sat down beside her. He was much larger than her but it didn’t seem to bother him as he sat there smiling to himself. She had the answers and he was going to get them.
‘Conan I really think you…’
Koara started but before she could finish they both heard a crashing sound and Conan watched as someone bounded out of the trees making them both stand up. It was another husky but he was black and white with red splashes around his eyes.
He growled fiercely as he approached Conan who instantly stepped forward barring his teeth the hair on the back of his back standing up as he walked closer.
‘Get out of here Koara he’s a wolf’
The black and red husky said loudly as he lashed at Conan who quickly dodged the attack but before he had time to attack back heard Koara yell out.
‘Stop it Alden he was just leaving’
Koara said staring at Conan who growled but stopped himself staring at Alden who Conan knew he could easily beat in a fight since he to was smaller then himself.
‘Get out of here before I call my master’
Alden growled snapping at Conan who looked at Koara before frowning wanting nothing more then to beat him in a fight. He knew that Aleu had told him that the man was dangerous and for once he’d take her word, turning around he ran off in to the forest feeling as though he was a coward form backing down.
Alden turned to Koara who stood her ground as he walked up to her and said in her face.
‘These wolves are killers, we are here to stop them not make friends. I think you should leave your duty Koara and if you ever see a wolf again don’t disobey our master and stop the wolf yourself or call our master to do the job. You understand?’
‘I understand clearly’
Koara cooed as she walked past Alden and towards the small camp that was nearby.
As she walked she couldn’t help but think that there was something different about Conan. Why was he so interested in who she was and what she was doing? A wolf would have attacked her but why was he more interested in her sled team? He looked exactly like a wolf but something different shone in his eyes she had never seen a wolf in the wild quite like him before.

Chapter 5 Intentions
Koara looked up at the stars as she woke up from a light sleep. She was sleeping beside her masters’ tent with the other dogs on her team but they all seemed to be asleep. It was a cold night but her thick coat kept her nice and warm and she rested her head back down on to the snow closing her eyes.
She suddenly opened them again as she heard a howling wolf, quickly looking around she noticed that none of her other team mates had been woken up. She looked over at the trees and she saw a shadow and instantly jumped up and barred her teeth. She watched as the animal stepped forward in to the moonlight where she could see that it was only Conan.
Conan was surprised he could be so silent with such huge paws as he walked up closer and closer to the tent and the sleeping dogs. He watched as Koara stood up and silently totted over to him.
‘What are you doing?’
She said in a low tone looking at him. Conan was to busy looking at the strange tent to worry about all the dogs that were in front of him.
‘What is that?’
Conan said amazed as he looked at the tent and took another step forward. Koara quickly stood in front of him frowning as she motioned him away from the tent. Reluctantly he followed her until they reached the safety of the trees.
‘Who do you think you are? You could have woken my master or my sled team’
Koara hissed looking at Conan who was still staring at the tent before looking back at her.
‘I had to come back and see what was here. It was a little obvious you were guarding something before’
Conan said slyly looking at her with a smirk on his face. Rolling her eyes Koara frowned.
‘If any of them woke up my master he would have had you shot…’
‘Does he kill wolves?’
Conan said shivering slightly as he remembered what had happened to that lone wolf he’d found.
‘We don’t kill them we just take them away…’
Conan frowned as he walked away from Koara who just stood there before quickly following him shaking her head.
‘How can you take them, this is our home we aren’t hurting anyone’
He said as he kept walking with Koara beside him shaking her head.
‘You don’t understand’
‘I understand perfectly, maybe my interest in your sled team was just me being stupid’
Conan suddenly broke in to a run but Koara kept up with him as they both starting running through the forest together, Koara easily keeping up Conan despite that she was smaller then he was.
‘You’re pretty fast’
She said smiling as she slowly but surely ran past him. Conan watched her for a moment before smiling and catching up. She was pretty fast he thought to himself as he ran as fast as he could, neither wolf or dog tiring out as they did.
They suddenly left the forest and ran on to the glacier were they both slowed down as it started to snow.
‘You’re pretty quick yourself’
Conan said trying to hide that he was starting to get a little tired. Koara smirked as she walked towards the glacier edge. Smiling Conan quickly followed till they were standing on the glacier edge over looking the ocean.
‘I’ve never seen a wolf quite like you…’
‘What do you mean?’
Conan said looking at her as the rough ocean threw up a spray of water in to their faces.
‘Why are you so interested in us? And why do you love to run? You were actually keeping up with me’
‘What are you talking about I could have gone for hours and besides you were only just keeping up with me’
Conan said holding his head up high looking at Koara who simply laughed to herself. He suddenly looked away from her and out to the ocean a frown coming over his face.
‘What did you do with the wolves your master caught?”
Conan asked looking at her wanting a real answer. Koara simply sighed as she looked truthfully up at him.
‘We took them away because my master and others are coming…’
‘I-I don’t understand’
Conan said looking confused.
‘This is the Mountain Wolves pack land what are you going to do with them?’
‘Is this your pack?’
Koara asked.
‘No…’
‘Then why does it matter?’
Conan frowned as he turned away from her and looked out to the snow capped mountains behind them.
‘This land borders my packs land and I don’t want anything to happen to my pack or any other wolves in this land’
‘I can’t stop them…’
Koara said truthfully.
‘Yes you can. Why doesn’t your team stop running why can’t you just run your master away from here?’
‘It’s not that simple’
Koara said frowning. Before Conan could say anything he heard a howl in the distance that made his ears perk up to listen.
‘What is it?’
Koara asked looking at Conan who was looking back in to the forest.
‘It’s the Mountain pack they must have found me…’
Conan said quickly as he ran away from the glacier edge towards his own territory but as he was running he could hear a strange call of barks which made him stop and look at Koara who was looking back into the forest.
‘What’s that sound?’
Conan yelled back at Koara who looked worried as she looked back at him before running away into the forest leaving Conan alone on the glacier.
‘The Mountain Pack must be…’
Conan suddenly realized as he turned back around to follow Koara knowing that the Mountain Pack must have found where her team were sleeping.
‘Koara wait it’s the Mountain pack….!’
Conan yelled running back after her.
