Jason's POV

"Why would you pack attack me?" She made it sound as if it was my fault .

"I didn't attack you, it was my hunting party. They kill any outsiders."

"Kill?! Outsiders?"

"Yeah, kill. You're lucky you survived at all. It was my dad who passed the law that all outsiders were to be killed on sight."

"What are outsiders? And did you say your dad is the pack leader?"

"Wolves who don't belong to any pack. And yes, my dad is the pack leader."

"Why does your dad want to kill outsiders?"

"It started around last spring. My mother was pregnant and when she went into labor there were... umm... complications. Outsiders were known for their talent in healing, so my dad found one that could help. However, after my mother delivered the pup, she died. There was nothing the outsider could have done. My little brother Tony lived and was alright. But my father was furious with the outsider, so furious that he had her executed in front of the whole pack in order to make an example of her. He would have killed Tony too but I convinced him not to. And from that day outsiders have been banned from our territory."

"Why did you save me then?"

"Because I know that what happened to my mother wasn't something could that have been prevented. But if my father found out I was keeping you here, he would probably kill me."

"So you'd rather save me and defy your dad rather than let me die." I hadn't really thought about why I saved her, but now that she brought up the subject I knew why I had done it. "Yeah, I would. After what I seen my pack do to you, I couldn't just let you die." Just in case you're wondering that wasn't the only reason. Tracy said nothing as she looked down at her paws obviously embarrassed. "Umm, listen I have to go everyone is probably wondering where I am."

"Oh, okay that's alright with me."

"You sure you'll be fine?"

"Yeah, go on I understand."

"I'll come back tomorrow to see how you're doing." After saying goodbye I turned and left.

I ran all the way back. When I got there my girlfriend jumped out of nowhere and tackled me. I only knew it was her because I could smell her. "Sonny," I know weird name right? "Sonny get off me," I begged. She got off me while laughing. Now don't get me wrong she had a really nice laugh but...well...it just didn't suit her. "I got you good Jason," she replied once she had stopped laughing.

"You sure did."

"Where have you been?"

"Out hunting caribou."
"For over a day?" I was about to answer her question when I spotted my dad heading my way. "See you later Sonny." I hadn't gotten more than ten passes away from him when he started yelling. "JASON! Where have you been?"

"I was out hunting caribou."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Because I was a little busy tracking down a caribou big enough to feed this entire pack for a week."

"Really? Where is this caribou?"

"I lost track of it."

"Son, when will you learn? If don't bring anything back, don't bother coming back at all." With that he just walked past me down to the river. Me I just walked to the den I shared with my brothers.

When I got there the only person in the den was my little brother Tony. The cute little pup ran up to me. I stopped as he reached me and gave him a little hug. "Where were you big brother? I started to think the nasty outsiders got you." Yeah you heard him right, he hates outsiders too. My father told him that outsiders mercilessly killed our mother after he was born. "No little bro it'll take more than a few pack-less wolves to take me down," I told him as I flexed my arms and smiled bravely. I of course was lying to him and it killed me to. I had never lied to Tony before. The worse thought, was that it wasn't going to be the last time.
