Justin's Return
About two weeks have passed and the pups were finally able to open their eyes. They often roamed around the den, but they were not allowed to leave yet. Kate and Humphrey often told about what it was like outside which succeeded in making the pups even more excited.
While the pups wee growing, their personality traits began to develop. Madi was calm, sweet, and sensitive while Wildfire was a real hothead, thus living up to his name.
One day, Humphrey was out hunting with Garth, leaving Kate to watch the pups. Madi walks over to Kate and says, "Mommy is it true that we are going to be given social rinks?"
Kate smiled at her daughter and said, "It's ranks, and yes, u will be given a social rank depending on how you act around other wolves."
Wildfire jumped in and said, "That is why I am going to strive for the best! I am going to be tough! I'm going to be fierce! I am going to show everyone that there is an alpha inside this little puppy!"
"That means you're going to have to go to school," Madi commented.
Wildfire froze in embarrassment. "She is right. If you are given the rank of an alpha, you will have to go to alpha school to learn some new techniques to help support the pack."
At that moment, a grey wolf with black hair, paws, and a streak down his back walks in. "It may seem intimidating at first," said he, "but you will someday learn what it actually means to be an alpha."
Kate turned around and recognized the wolf. "Justin," she inquired.
The wolf nodded.
"What are you doing here?"
I heard that there was a wedding here a few months ago and thought it was of little significance to me, but when I found out that Humphrey was marrying you, I had to see how it went, and judging by those adorable puppies you have there, I would say things turned out well."
"They did. I haven't seen you since-"
"I know. But I don't want to relive it. I'm going to find my little brother right now, and I want to hear how this all happened when I get back."
"Okay. If you want to speed up your search, he's out hunting with Garth."
"Thanks." And with that, Justin zipped out of the den.
Lancewing: Here's my second short story.
Humphrey: And I just found out that I have a brother.
Justin: Yes, longtime, no see brother.
Lancewing: You will find something surprising about him later on... Also, for thosed of you who read Family, I made an accidental error when someone rushed uo to lilly.
Tony: I was supposed to be the one who rushes to Lilly, but Lancewing here forgot to put a name down.
Lancewing: I was in a rush, and I couldn't correct it when I saw it. But it should be correct now...
