Chapter 6: the discussion

Nothing to say today, just I hope you like this new chapter.

Xaver brought Kodi to the beach, along with Aleu and Saba. He had decided to train him for the selection, but the time was against them, the event would have played in a week, so Kodi had to work hard if he wanted to improve his skills in such a short time available.

Before starting the real training, Xaver had first to see the skills of his friend, he pointed the boat stranded with his paw, it was far from their position. As the first phase of his training, Kodi had to run at full speed to the boat, turn around and then go back. The young husky quickly ran very fast towards the boat, turned it around, and finally returned from Xaver, Kodi's speed was quite good, but the problem was that it was not even comparable to Steele.

Kodi: "So, do you think I have any hope to beating Steele?"

Xaver: "Being a postal dog you have a small advantage in terms of endurance, but remember that Steele has a lot of experience and trains every day. You'll have to train twice to be at least on par with him "

Kodi: "fine then. I'm ready"

Xaver: "let's see if you can stay behind me"

But Kodi had not finished yet, the real training had just begun. Kodi immediately began to chase the warrior wolf, unfortunately he was very fast, and despite the great effort, Kodi made a lot of fatigue to stay behind Xaver.

The husky tried to increase his speed and while he was doing it he felt a strange sensation inside him, it was as if a small flame had just lit, he was slightly approaching Xaver, but just as he was about to reach him, he decreased his speed and started to breathe deeply; he was out of breath and consequently he could not continue. He was still not used to running so fast for such a long time.

Soon after, Aleu asked Xaver if they could speak privately, the silver wolf nodded and followed Aleu away from her two siblings.

Aleu was quite opposed to the idea of training her brother for the selection, she wanted to know why Xaver could not save Dusty and give Steele a lesson using his powers.

Aleu: "Xaver, there must be another solution. He's not forced to participate, you can go and rescue Dusty and face Steele with your powers whenever you want"

The warrior wolf looked at his friend with a sad look, Xaver if he had the chance to do it would have acted immediately, but there was an important reason why he couldn't do anything else to help Kodi.

Xaver: "I'm sorry Aleu. I can't use my powers this time"

Aleu: "what! But why?!"

Xaver: "it's hard to explain ... if I use my powers maybe Dark Blade can detect my energy and my position and...I don't want something bad happen to you"

At that moment, Aleu began to get nervous. She was very worried about Kodi, as result she had forgotten how dangerous the situation was, Xaver tried to stay calm but Aleu's stubbornness made him lose his temper.

Aleu: "you always go on the safe side! There's no need to worry so much for me! Stop to treat me like a pup, I can take care of myself!"

Xaver: "haven't you understood yet that you're important to me?! I'm just trying to protect you!"

Aleu: "and you think that letting my brother be humiliated in a stupid race could protect me from Dark Blade?!"

Xaver: "If I could give Steele a lesson, I would have already done, but I can't, so whether you like it or not, this is the only way to help Kodi. And if you want me to stop treating you like a pup, then start to stop acting like a pup!"

Aleu was shocked by Xaver's response, he never imagined that he would answer him like that , the reason why Aleu was shocked was that the answer had brought her back to reality and realized that she was wrong to get angry with him. The young she-wolf decided to go on the boat while the tears were about to slide down her cheeks.

Even Xaver thought that maybe he had exaggerated a bit too much, but he decided to go back to training Kodi, while Saba had listened to the two wolves during their quarrel, the husky decided to reach Aleu to comfort her. Saba saw her sister lying on the wooden floor and she was crying.

Saba: "A-Aleu, are you okey?"

Aleu: *sobs* "don't worry Saba, I'm fine"

Saba: "I know maybe I should not have done it, but I heard you arguing. I'm sorry"

Aleu : "it's all my fault, Saba. I was so worried about my brother that I had forgotten how important I am to Xaver, after all he did for me, I didn't have to get mad at him, I was just stupid "

Saba: "listen to me: we all make mistakes, but the important thing is to know how to fix it, you could ask him excuse"

Aleu: "Are you sure? maybe he will not even talk to me anymore"

Saba: "I don't think so, trust me. If he really cares about you then he will forgive you without thinking twice"

Saba called Xaver and asked if he could speak a second with Aleu , immediately afterwards he rushed to the beached wreck where Aleu was waiting for him. the young she-wolf barely saw Xaver running towards him and embraced him, as she burst into tears on his chest.

Aleu: *sobs* "I'm so sorry, Xaver. I had forgotten how important I am to you"

The silver wolf rested a paw on Aleu's back to reassure her. At first Aleu thought that Xaver would never forgive her for what she had said to him, instead Xaver spoke to her quietly, while he held her lovingly.

Xaver: "It's all right, Aleu. you were just worried about Kodi, I understand you ... you don't need to apologize"

Aleu: "so...you forgive me?"

Xaver: "you're my best friend, I've already forgive you"

Aleu smiled and licked Xaver's cheek to thank him, Saba watched the scene and was moved to see those two wolves hug and nuzzling just like two lovers.

Saba's mind: "I have no more doubts, between Xaver and Aleu there is more than one friendship. I would not be surprised if one day they will get together"
