"This out to be far enough. Huh?" Alexis asks as she comes to a stop outside rhe territory border and hears someone coming before hiding in a bush nearby as a tan and white wolf comes walking nearby as it stops causing Alexis to whine nervously.

"What's that sound? A puppy." The sand wolf says as she finds Alexis.

"Keep away from me!" Alexis says fearfully as she growls and backs away from the wolf.

"Don't be afraid small one. I won't hurt you. Where are your parents?" The female wolf asks kindly.

"I said stay back!" Alexis says as she runs off.

"Hey wait! I won't hurt you!" The female wolf says as she chases after Alexis.

"Great. Still not far enough. Ah!" Alexis shouts as she stops running and screams seeing another wolf.

"Well, well. Look what I just found. The little brat my alpha was looking for. Come here you little demon!" A voice says revealing to be a fire wolf as it then charges at Alexis.

"Get away from her!" A voice shouts revealing to be the sand wolf as she tackles the other wolf away from Alexis.

"Huh?" Alexis asks as the sand wolf goes over to beside her.

"A sand wolf? What the heck is a sand wolf doing here?" The wolf says angrily as he gets up as the sand wolf growls at him.

"I'm a traveler. Now what are you after this pup for?" The female wolf says as Alexis stands behind her fearfully.

"That's hardly any of your business." The wolf says as he snarls.

"It is my business when an adult is attacking a defenseless pup." The wolf says as Alexis looks at her.

"You clearly haven't heard about that little she demon. She's special and my alpha wants her now move it." The wolf says angrily.

"Not a chance." The female wolf says as she looks at Alexis before back at the other wolf.

"Move or your fate will be the same as the brats parents and pack!" The wolf says as he growls at Alexis.

"Mom... Dad..." Alexis says sadly.

"As I said before I'll never let you harm this pup." The sand wolf says as she stands in front of Alexis.

"So be it then." The fire wolf says as he attacks the female sand wolf only to quickly lose as she beats him.

"Now get out! Are you alright small one?" The sand wolf asks as she runs the other wolf off before looking at Alexis.

"What are you gonna do to me?" Alexis asks fearfully.

"Don't be alarmed. As I said I won't hurt you. I may not completely understand why you were running or why that wolf was after you but I can tell you need help. What's your name? I'm Sandy. I'm a sand wolf." The wolf says as she smiles kindly at Alexis causing her to relax slightly.

"Alexis of the Moon Clan." Alexis says nervously.

"Moon Clan? Your parents are Luna and Ash. Oh no. I'm so sorry young one. Don't worry I'll protect you now. Come with me. It isn't safe here." Sandy says as she picks Alexis up and runs off with her.

*Timeskip 11 Years*

"Well done Alexis. You've got it." Sandy says as she watches Alexis easily jump up and catch a bird.

"Thanks mom." Alexis says happily as she looks at Sandy.

"Alexis sweetie you know you don't have to call me mom. I know you miss your real mother." Sandy says as she chuckles.

"It's okay. You've been like a mom to me. I feel it's only fitting." Alexis says happily as he wags her tail.

"Well you've been like a daughter to me young one. I'm very proud of how strong and how well trained you've become since we met." Sandy says proudly.

"And you'll continue to stay beside me right?" Alexis asks happily.

"Well sweet heart there's some things you need to understand. One is that you're a very special wolf. You won't have it easy because of that. Another is I can't always stay with you. You'll eventually have to face life on your own." Sandy says as she sighs and looks at Alexis.

"But I don't wanna lose you." Alexis says.

"I know but I'll stay by you as long as possible. But you don't have to worry about that right now." Sandy says as she nuzzles Alexis.

"Promise?" Alexis asks.

"Promise. Huh?" Sandy asks as she sniffs the air.

"What is it mom?" Alexis asks curiously.

"I smell a human. A hunter no less." Sandy says as she growls.

"A human? But I didn't think they come out this far." Alexis says curiously.

"They do but not often. Alexis you need to run. Now." Sandy says sternly.

"But you promised. I don't wanna lose you too." Alexis says sadly as she whines.

"I know and I know what I said but I can't protect you against a gun. Now go." Sandy says as Alexis looks at her sadly.

"Please. I don't want you to go." Alexis says sadly as Sandy smiles at her softly.

"Alexis no matter what happens I'll always with you in spirit. It's been an honor being with you and seeing you grow. You'll be okay. Now please run." Sandy says as Alexis reluctantly nods.

"I love you Sandy." Alexis says as Sandy nuzzles her.

"I love you too sweet heart. Be careful and be safe." Sandy says as Alexis reluctantly runs before hearing commotion from where she left Sandy and soon hears a gun shot before beginning to cry.
