Hello fellow readers and writers, those who are reading probably farmilar with my other Balto stories, this is kinda like a rewrite of Chasing Dreams but with a different approach. So here's the first chapter of For The Love Of A Wolf, please remember to leave a review. Thank you.

"Kraa!"

A dark shadowy figure flew overhead causing a gray-brown wolf dog to groan. "What now." it wasn't a question, that's how tired and agitated he was.

"Only the journey home, my son."

His brown eyes widened as he turned to see a beautiful white wolf that has been in his dreams and his guide when he was lost while trying to save the children almost a year and a half ago. The same wolf that Nava said that his daughter was destined to lead a wolf pack. Her golden eyes shined with unearthly wisdom and love but she said is what got his mind whirling. "Aniu, you're my..." it was on the tip of his tongue and his heart.

The white wolf nodded before lifting her head as a howl, more beautiful than he imagined it. A gush of wind blew, tossing their furs before the white wolf disappeared as though she was nothing but a mist.

"Goodbye to you too...mother."

It felt alien, but right. With a deep breath he turned and continued his journey home but strangely enough he has a feeling that his journey home wasn't what his mother meant. The trip back to Nome was much quicker than he expected, maybe because it was a direct destination and he wasn't looking for anyone. But he knew for sure that he didn't want to face his mate at the moment but his paws took him to the shed where she lives. He was actually surprised to see his two oldest pups of his litter sitting outside the shed they been born in over a year ago with their mother. His mate's hazel eyes shined as she ran and embraced him.

"You're home!" the red and white husky looked behind him before her ears dropped. "Where's Aleu?"

He sighed and lowered his head. "She's fine but she's not returning anytime soon."

A dark red and white husky looked confused with his head tilted. "Not coming back. Dad, what happened?"

The wolf dog inhaled and exhaled. "She found where she belong leading a wolf pack."

The red and white husky gasped before she narrowed her eyes. "You can't be serious! You let our daughter run wild."

He shook his head. "Jenna, you must know that it was Aleu's descion."

Jenna growled as she turned. "I should of chosen Steele. Then none of this would of happened!"

"Mom!" the two younger huskies cried.

The half wolf canine wanted to say something but found nothing. He was hurt, he loved her or at least he thought he did, he still do but that was a very low blow.

"Mom, what's going on?" asked a younger version of Jenna only thing she has a a bit of red fur sticking up on her head and bright blue eyes.

Jenna glared at her mate. "Don't you dare."

He wanted to listen but they have the right to know. "Kodi, Saba...you all have a bit of wolf in you."

"Balto!" Jenna snarled.

Saba looked at her father with a hurt but a understanding expression. "I understand why you didn't tell us but I do wish you would of told us sooner."

Kodi nodded in agreement before glaring at his mother. "So because we have a bit of wolf in us you think you were better off with the mean dog?"

Balto shook his head. "It's okay kids. It already seems like your mother made her mind."

Jenna growled before turning and curled her bushy tail over her back. "I don't want nothing to do with you. I'm done." then she walked ever gracefully into the shed.

Balto felt his heart break into pieces. Besides the fact that the children lives were in danger, it was her that fueled his determination, his thrive to get back to Nome. With his darker greyish-brown ears folded against his head he turned and ran off ignoring the calls of his pups.

ooOoo

A pair of purplish-blue eyes looked out the window of her house where she living. Her ears against her head as whimper left her tannish muzzle. It was her, her older brother and her father living here with her uncle. Or rather it was her uncle living with them. Her father and uncle were sled dogs and training her brother to be the next champion in the family. Her mother dosen't live with her, simply because she was a stray. The reason why her and her brother was with their father. But it didn't mean that she didn't miss the company or love of her mother. The sound of barking and growling caused her to looked from the window to see her father and uncle walking in the room where she was at.

"Hey princess. Guess what?" asked a large russet malamute. He looked exactly like the large black and white malamute next to him, minus the russet fur.

"What?"

The black and white malamute smiled before walking over and ruffled the fur sticking up on his neice's head. "You're gonna have a aunt."

The pup's russet father laughed. "She finally came to her senses. Can't believe she mated with that half mongore."

"Who you telling, Brick. Now come, we got to train Coal."

Brick looked at his daughter and nuzzled her. "Uncle Steele and I are going to train your brother. Why don't you go play?"

The russet and tan pup nodded slightly before watching her father and uncle leave to the shed where her brother was. She couldn't muster a goodbye because her head was going a million miles. Her father and uncle was talking about Balto, she hasn't seen him but ever since she was able to hear the half breed freak was all he talked about. At the moment she didn't feel like playing, even though she was twelve weeks old, she just has a lot going through her head. If what her father and uncle said was right...her aunt was once the hero of Nome's mate. But the question is: why are they not together?
