Prologue
It was a cold, snowy December night, the moon was pale as death, lighting the forest ground, and nothing else. Saba was lost, alone, and most of all, afraid, she had lost her sled team on a run back from Cantwell. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, she had no idea where to go, or where she was. Meantime, an Alpha Female Wolf is being chased by dogs and hunters in a forest in northern Alaska.

"*pant pant* Damn, they're gaining on me!" Silva thought to herself, "Push it you lazy dogs! Get her!" one of the hunters shouted angrily. "I'm not going to make it, I….i'm sorry Skye….." Silva said with tears forming. A loud gunshot rang through the air, then, absolute silence. "Come on, we need to clear before them wolves show up!" the hunter said.
A few miles back, where Silva's pack stayed, Skye heard the gunshot, "Huh? What the hell was that?!" Skye said, "What's the matter, big brother?" Silk asked, "I heard a gunshot, we need to move out, everyone, now!" Skye said, running towards where he heard the gunshot and found his mate lying on the ground, "Silva! What the hell happened?!" Skye asked. Silva coughed up blood, "Skye…..my love…..I'm sorry, but it looks like my time is up…it's time for you to move on, find a new Alpha Female, our children won't make it, I'm so sorry Skye…..I love you….." Silva took one last breath, and it went silent. Skye closed his eyes, tears started to form, and sat down, and started a howl. The whole pack howled at the sight of their dead leader who carried the next generation of pups, "Silva my love, you will not be forgotten, we'll avenge you, I promise!" Skye said, breaking into tears.
Saba was only few miles away, and heard the howls of the wolves, "Maybe they can help me? After all I'm half wolf." Saba thought to herself, dragging her tired body to the source of the howls. She came across the large pack of wolves and barked to get their attention, "H…hey! Help me, please!" Saba shouted to the wolf pack, dragging herself over to them, Skye caught sight of her and shouted back, "Which side are you from? You aren't one of ours, why do you invade out territory?" Skye asked, "What are they talking about? I'm not part of a clan." Saba thought to herself, "I'm not part of a clan, I'm an outsider you could say!" Saba shouted back. "An outsider? This doesn't sound good brother, shall we let her into the den?" Silk asked, "I don't know, we need to get a closer look at her first, she may be a part of the Talkeetna clan." Skye said, "What is your name?" Skye asked. "Saba! Daughter of Balto and Jenna from Nome!" Saba shouted back. "Nome? She's no wolf, she's a dog!" Skye said, "What do we do? It was dogs that got Silva killed!" Silk said. "We let her in, but we capture her in the process and hold her hostage, we'll eventually have to kill her, but for now we'll get this supposed Balto out here along with his mate and kill her as well." Skye said, "I don't know brother, she seems pretty trustworthy." Silk said, "You said it yourself, dogs are what got Silva killed!" Skye said. "But think brother, just look at her, she looks like she's just lost and needs a place to stay for the night, I think we had better trust her on this one." Silk said. Skye wanted to take her in, but in spite of Silva, he just couldn't, "Sorry brother, but I must do this in spite of Silva, this will teach the humans that we are more than four-legged animals." Skye said, "Brother!" Silk said, Skye pushed him out of the way and started to walk towards Saba, "Hello there miss, what happened to you?" Skye asked, "I…..I lost my sled team, I can't find them anywhere in this storm, c….could you help me?" Saba asked, shivering. "She was a…sled dog…." Skye thought to himself, "Sure, come, you may stay in our den for the night, and in the morning, we'll help you find your lost sled team." Skye said, "Thank you! I can't express my gratitude enough!" Saba said, "Trust me, there's no need my dear, now come, we'll have some water and food for you in the den." Skye said, leading her into the den.
Skye led Saba into the wolf den, with Silk following right behind, along with two other alphas, "We will show you your place to stay for the night, and we will bring you water in a little bit, just get cozy and don't worry about a thing." Skye said, leading Saba to a room in the back of the den, which was a small room with two barrels of water and a bowl for food, "It looks pretty cozy, thank you mister…?" "Skye, Alpha Male of the pack, my Alpha Female was lost to humans and attack dogs, along with our next generation of children." Skye said, "That's the sickest thing I've ever heard, I'm so sorry Skye." Saba said, "I'll be alright, but I must find a new Alpha Female soon, for the sake of our pack's prosperity." Skye said, "Is there anything I can do to help?" Saba asked, "You can…" Skye turned around and looked at her, "stay quiet…." Skye said, running at her, tackling her to the ground, holding her throat until she passed out, "Leon, Silk, take our prisoner to her room, I'm sorry Saba, but this is for Silva, we will have revenge for our loss." Skye said, "We will not let this go until we have the humans who did this along with the dogs…." Skye said, walking out of the room, with Silk chasing after him, "Brother! You don't have to do this, this is outrageous!" Silk said, standing behind his brother, "Outrageous? The humans killing Silva and my children was outrageous, Saba thinking a pack of wolves are going to help her was outrageous….." Skye said, Silk stood in silence. "If you don't want to be a part of this….then leave…." Skye said, "I'm your brother Skye! Can't you get it through your thick skull that Saba meant no harm! And you just tackling her like that, it's not right!" Silk said, "We're not going to kill her, yet…." Skye said, walking back into the room. "I know Silva was his mate, but he's going insane, and I can't help but intervene, one day he'll see that not all dogs are bad, I'll have to tell him one day or another, but now's not the time, but when that time comes, it'll be the day that I die….." Silk said, walking back into the room.
This isn't what I wanted Skye, you'll see, that this is only the beginning, I'll be watching Skye, I will….
