I do not own Balto or it's characters. I also make no money from this fan fiction.
Chapter One
The swirled rigid air nipped at the tress. Powerful gusts carried along white sheets casting all to be blind to the world. A blizzard...? No, just strong Alaskan winds.
It was two years ago, when the legendary wolf-dog, Balto had made his trip back to Nome to save the children. Two years that had passed and yet it seemed like not much had changed since then. Nome had grown a bigger population but that was all to be noted. Nothing more great had happened... nothing like the tale of the amazing Balto.
A silence rolled over the land as the city slept. The crunch of snow was faint as the figure moved forward. The light gray-brown creature kept her pace, continuing on. She had no thought as to where she was going. Her mind was clouded and she was indeed frustrated.
She found that she needed to get away from everyone. She'd never asked to be like this and no one had told her before. It was no wonder why no one wanted to be in her presence. After all, she did look like and was part wolf.
"Why do I have to look like some kind of wild animal," Aleu growled to herself. Her pace increased, and her tail swayed behind her in annoyance. "I never asked to be like this. No human will ever want me. Everyone just hates me!"
She was exaggerating. Her mother's human and family liked her. Rosy even liked Balto before he'd saved her, knowing he was part wolf. Some of the people in Nome had just learned to accept it. Aleu's father was a hero and was obviously irreplaceable to all.
Aleu kept a low growl with her. Her mind was spinning from taking in all of this at once. She wanted to run away, but had friends and family that loved her. Now was not the time for such a silly thoughts. She would get adopted, and get a human of her own, a human that would love her, for who she was, not what she was. It all came down to just a matter of correct timing.
Pausing, she gave herself a chance to look back at the buildings that made up Nome. All of the lights were turned off in human homes. A sniff of the air told her that no other dogs or animals wandered around as she did now. She released a sigh of relief, glad that no one was following her.
She needed to find some place to relax. One paw in front of the other, she found herself moving. Now she had purpose in her walk and a destination in her mind. There was a place where many of the dogs gathered for meetings. With everyone asleep and no major crisis going on, she knew that the place would be empty. Loneliness and silence would be golden.
Reaching a large wooden frame, she looked back up at it for a moment, cocking her head to the side. She'd never stopped to stand there and look at how big it was. Shaking it off, Aleu knew that she needed to stop worrying. Slipping in through the doggie door, she was welcomed by great warmth from the flames that flew in the fire place nearby.
"Much better," the wolf-dog said to herself as she looked around.
It was obvious that some of the other dogs had been there before earlier. Most likely taking breaks after sled runs like they usually did. She sniffed the ground before her to double check. Satisfied with her observations, Aleu walked back over to the fire place.
She was engulfed by the flames as she watched them dance before her. It was mesmerizing. She wondered how something so beautiful could be created and so animated yet still not be gifted with life. She had wondered about many things since she was a pup, always the one to be curious first.
A faint smile crossed her canine lips as she turned away from it, deciding it was something to dwell on some other time. Circling the spot that she was in, Aleu finally laid down, deciding that it was time to rest. All of this was still new to her, this whole wolf thing that had cursed her.
Closing her eyes, she let her mind go to the silence and peacefulness of the world around her.
'Maybe this is all just a dream... when I wake up, it will be normal again,' she thought to herself.
That would make sense for something as crazy as this to happen. She wouldn't have to worry about any of it anymore. It was a nightmare that just tried to scar her. Aleu was sure that she would be able to make it through all of this. She was positive that she would wake up and just forget.
Chocolate brown eyes stared blankly at the large piece of wood before him. The golden two-toned dog was sure that it would move any time. His owner had to come home, right?
Kaltag had been growing anxious for a couple of days now. He'd been left alone in this house. Sure he could go out through the doggy door but dogs needed that bond with their humans too. He got attention from some of the citizens of Nome but it was just never the same.
"This is so boring, so irritating, this is torment!"
He'd never failed to come up with a list of words to describe something.
He needed to go do something. Maybe wandering the city would be able to help him clear his mind. It was better than doing nothing.
Pushing himself up, the Husky took the opportunity to stretch his stiff body. Making a straight shot for the doggie door, he was welcomed by the sweet Alaskan air the moment he made contact with the outside world. A small smile crept upon his lips, followed by a wag of his tail as he fully stepped out.
Yes, this was much better than lying in that house doing nothing. He was a sled dog that had to be able to run a long distance every day. With his owner off in the other states, it didn't leave him very much.
It seemed like he had wandered around the area forever. There wasn't a soul outside still expect for himself. All he had was the street lamps to guide him. It didn't really do much because he was able to see in the dark just fine anyway.
As he kept on, a familiar scent came across him. He sniffed the ground, taking it in, Aleu, Balto's daughter? Well that wasn't a face that he'd seen in a while. Though there was something different mixed in with it as well. Something that really had sparked his interest and instinctively told him to investigate.
Following his nose, Kaltag found himself at the building. He tilted his head to the side, a bit confused as to why Aleu would be here.
Pushing his head through the doggie door there, he found his gaze set on the wolf-dog before him, sleeping there. If he could have, he would have been blushing. He'd never been alone in some place with Aleu like this before, and she didn't even know that he was there yet.
Sliding through, his black nose sniffed the air, inhaling that scent that had brought him in here for sure. He stepped forward, somehow accomplishing not making a sound. One step after another, he worked his way to Aleu who was still fast asleep. When he reached her, he felt as if he had no control over himself; to overwhelming.
In all honesty, he tried to stop himself, though his muzzle found its way down towards her tail. With a small nudge, he was able to move it. Everything told him he was right at his first thought of it, Aleu was in heat. Kaltag's bushy tail wagged and he couldn't help but grin.
Of course Balto would kill him if he'd ever found out that the golden dog had even considered his daughter for a mate. That wasn't Balto's choice to make.
His cold nose hit her vulva and he felt in intoxicated. It was wrong but nature called. Slowly and gently he began to lick her, even though she was asleep. Kaltag's ears flashed forward when he heard an unexpected noise. He didn't stop but shifted his gaze to her. He could hear her moaning each time that long pink tongue came in contact with her folds.
It continued on for a moment until Kaltag's scent had reached the wolf-dog's nose. Aleu awoke quickly, and instinctively threw herself up to all four paws and whirled herself around to face the intruder with a fang bared snarl. Her hackles were raised, her tail was stiff up, and she was ready to defend herself.
