That evening, it was time for bed. Dean spent the whole day playing with the pups, and now it was time for bed. He was very excited for tomorrow, so he did his routine and went to bed. He was ready for this "moonlight howl." He vowed to not have a nightmare. What he didn't see coming was Kate, Humphrey, and the pups move next to him. He smiled a little in his sleep. Tomorrow was going to be fun.

The next day in Colorado, a small plane is about to take off. This plane is in an airport in Chihuahua, Mexico. This plane is carrying a small amount of people. It is carrying the latino pilot, the American man who paid for the flight, and all five of his extremely expensive bags.

"Are we ready señor," spoke the fancy dressed man.

"le mostraré señor tonto gordo rico," spoke the pilot.

English ("I'll show you "señor" dumb, fat, rich man.")

"What was that?"

"I said we are ready to go sir."

"Good, by the way, what's your name," asked the American.

"My name is Alejandro Santiago."

"Nice name, My name is Franklin Sykes, but you can call me Frankie."

Frankie was very large, and very rich. He had a black mustache, black hair, and he wore a Hawaiian shirt because it was the only shirt that fit him. He was in Mexico for a vacation, but now it was time for him to return home, and he wasn't complaining. The plane soon took off and they were off. The passenger began to speak after the plane took off.

"You know, Mexico is really hot, I mean I live in Nevada, but it is still so much more hot here than it is there."

"claro que hace calor, es Mexico, cerdo."

English (sure it's hot, it's Mexico, Pig.)

"What?"

"I said it gets hotter down south."

"Oh I bet. What part are you from?"

"I was born in a small town a few miles out of Chihuahua." Alejandro looked to be in his early to mid- twenties. He had black hair, and he wore jeans and a white t-shirt.

"So why are you here," he spoke.

"Vacation."

"I see."

"Yeah, but I normally do transport"

"Oh, is the pay good?"

"Let's just say I could buy one of those big fancy private jets if I wanted to."

"So why didn't you?"

"I am cheap, and besides, why spend thousands of dollars on something I am only going to fly on for a couple hours, when you can do the same thing at only half the price?"

"I understand."

"Yep, and now I can go home, and sleep."

"Yes, sleep does sound good. So, how long have you been transporting cargo?"

"I have been doing it for five years now."

"Interesting."

"Yes, and I was ready for this vacation."

"Do you get a vacation often?"

"No, I only get one when the boss doesn't want me around for a few days, or if he is feeling generous."

"He sounds kinda harsh if you ask me."

"He is one of the scariest men alive. Have you ever been intimidated by someone with just their presence?"

"Yes, my father."

"He can do that, and then some. I have seen him mad, and the thing that made him mad was never seen again."

"Does your boss have a name sir."

"Uh he has many titles, but he said that since I was in Mexico to use the title of "Rey Bestia."

English"beast king"

Alejandro's eyes grew wide, and he immediately began to sweat.

"You work for Rey Bestia," he gulped.

"Yes, I do."

"I know of your boss, and I know what kind of cargo you deliver."

"You do, do you?"

"Si, and I no longer wish to discuss this."

"Ok, that's fine by me."

Frankie then grabbed a sleeping mask, and drifted off to sleep. While the rich man snored loudly, the pilot was secretly praying. He was praying for a quick flight, and a safe landing. He did not wish to linger with his passenger longer than he wished for.

After a few more hours of flying, the plane finally landed in Las Vegas, and Alejandro grabbed all of the Frankie's luggage, and moved it into an SUV that was waiting for him.

"You did excellent flying, and thank you for carrying all my luggage," spoke the rich man.

"It was no problem. I am always happy to help my passengers," said the pilot.

"You did fine, and here's a tip for you."

The man pulled out a five, and handed it to the pilot. Alejandro just smiled, took the money, and said thank you to the man. Soon the man got into the SUV and it drove off. The pilot got some fuel and quickly jumped back into the plane. He was ready to leave and go home. He opened the door, and jumped in the pilot's seat. He then breathed in a little dust and he sneezed.

"Bless you," spoke an unknown voice behind the man.

"Gracias señor," and the pilot rubbed his nose.

His eyes grew wide, and he quickly turned around and looked in his backseat. He saw a man in a black trench coat, shoulder length black hair, and black glasses.

"AH OH DIOS MIO," screamed the pilot.

English "Ah Oh my God."

The man quickly covered the pilot's mouth.

"Now listen here, I am going to remove my hand and you will listen to me. Do you understand? Blink twice for yes, and once for no."

The pilot blinked twice, and the man's hand went away from the pilot's mouth.

"My name is Julius, and I wish for you to take me to Colorado."

"Sorry Señor, but I don't just do this for free."

"Oh, don't you worry." Julius then began pulling out hundreds of dollars out of his pocket, and putting them in the man's hand. The man's eyes grew wide, and he was holding 10,000 dollars.

"Will this cover all of it," asked Julius.

Alejandro was speechless. He had never been given so much money at once. The only thing he could do was nod his head.

"Are you ready," was all he asked.

"Hang on one second." Julius then jumped into the front seat right next to the pilot.

"I just paid you ten thousand dollars. I think I deserve to sit up here."

"Ok." The plane then began to take off. The two were soon in the air, and they were off to Colorado. Alejandro began to mumble to himself in Spanish.

Primero bestias reyes lacayos, y ahora un polizón loco ha secuestrado mi avión para poder ir a Colorado.

ENGLISH "First, Beast King's lacky, and now a crazy stowaway has hijacked my plane so he can go to Colorado."

Julius smirked.

"lo siento, pero su "polizón loco" puede hablar en muchos idiomas, así que no puede decir nada que yo no entienda," he spoke.

English: "i am sorry, but your "crazy Stowaway" can speak in many languages, so you can't say anything that I won't understand."

"I am sorry señor, but it has been one of those days," apologized Alejandro.

"Oh it's fine. I have been called worst. I am also having one of those days. As an apology, you can tell me something."

"What is that sir?"

"Tell me about this "Beast King."

"I saw him when I was a kid. I grew up in a small community. Everyone helped everyone, and it was great. One day, one of our neighbors got killed by a Jaguar. Three weeks later, the same thing happened to another neighbor. This continued five more times. After that, a black car pulled up to our home, and a man dressed in a black suit came out. He had long black hair in a ponytail, and he had a goatee. He was about 6' 2' He only talked strictly business. He didn't ask for any money. He just wanted the jaguar. That night, I heard something come out of the woods behind our house. It was the jaguar. It came out, and he was there sitting in a lawn chair. He stood up and smiled. The jaguar lunged at him, but he moved out of the way. He then kicked it in its head. It stood up and growled at him. He then did something completely unexpected, he growled back, and he just stared at it. They stared for a few minutes before the cat laid down. He then walked up to it and began petting it. He pulled out a chain and put it around the cat's neck. He looked up and I saw his eyes. They were the scariest things I have ever seen. They were bright yellow. He called a guy, and they were gone the next day. I never saw him again. Those eyes gave me nightmares. I later found out that they were poachers and traded exotic animals.

Julius smirked at this.

"Huh, you describe an interesting fellow. I would love to meet him when I finish my business."

After about three more hours of flying, the two reached their destination. Julius got out and stretched.

"Well Alejandro, thank you so much for the lift, and I am very sorry I had to commandeer the plane."

"Oh, it is fine señor, I am over it. You are actually a pretty cool guy."

"I appreciate the comment. You are a good man Alejandro, never change for anyone."

"I don't plan too, and I hope you business goes well."

"I do too. Farewell my friend."

"So long señor." With that Alejandro got fuel for his plane, and took off.

"What a fine gentleman," thought Julius. "Well I need to get home, and get into a shower. I have big plans tomorrow, and I need to get up early." With that, Julius transformed into a duck, and began flying to his home, Dean's home. He made it within a few hours.

Over in Jasper, Dean was sitting outside the ledge of the leaders den. The pups, him, Eve, and Winston spent the whole day together. They walked the territory, and Eve and Winston told everyone stories about when they were younger. Dean told everyone about human stuff, and let the elders listen to music. The became fans of country love songs. Dean didn't say much other than when answering questions. He was deep in thought. It was getting dark, and the moon was full. Winston came out and sat next to him.

"Dean, did you have fun today," he said. "You were awfully quiet today. You only answered questions.

"Yes sir, I did. I was just thinking about some stuff today. I am sorry I didn't show it, but I had a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting me."

"You're welcome, Eve and I are happy to have you here. You pups are always fun to have, and I like the music you showed us."

Dean just nodded and smiled.

"Dean, I am sorry about Waya. Kate told us. I know you have been a little sad with him being gone."

"It's not your fault. It's not that that I'm thinking about."

"What is it then? Maybe I can help."

"I am still thinking of my dream. I can't put my finger on it, but there's just something off about it. I don't know what it is."

"You'll figure it out. I know you will. You are a great pup, and you're so smart. You teach us about all these human things, like music."

"Yeah, but I barely know the first thing about being a wolf."

"Well, maybe you're family can bring you back here, and I can help teach you how to be a wolf."

"You'd do that."

"Yes, and I'm sure Kate and Garth wouldn't be against helping you either."

"I would like that a lot. Thank you sir."

"You are welcome." He looked out and saw that wolves were gathering on the mountain.

"Eve, pups, come here, the howl is about to start."

Everyone came out of the den and sat by the ledge.

"Our den is in just the right spot to hear all the couples howling,"said Eve.

Tony walked out.and sat by the ledge.

"Winston, I really should thank Lilly," he said.

"For what?"

"For teaching Garth how to howl because I wouldn't have listened to another howl if she didn't."

Everyone but Dean began laughing.

"Did I miss something," he asked.

"Oh it's just that my son couldn't howl to save his life before Lilly helped him."

"Oh."

"Look, they are starting," said Eve.

Dean looked at the mountain and he began hearing wolves howling in pairs. He then saw them and they looked happy. He found Lilly and Garth near the top. He thought they sounded great. The wolves then quieted down, and Dean couldn't believe his eyes. On top of the mountain, Dean saw Kate and Humphrey. They got real close to each other and threw their heads back, and howled together. Dean was mesmerized by how they howled together. Just like singing, they matched each other's pitch.

"Wow," was all Dean could say.

Eve looked down at him, and she nudged Winston. He looked down too, and chuckled at Dean's mesmerized look on his face.

The pups were just enjoying seeing their parents having fun, and howling. Runt got an idea.

"Hey, Grandma why don't you and Grandpa howl too."

Eve looked to Winston and they locked eyes.

"Dear, how long has it been since we were at a Howl," she asked.

"Too long Eve, too long. Shall we," he answered.

"Let's."

They too joined in the howling, and when they stopped, everyone complimented them.

"That was great guys," said Runt.

"You sounded spectacular," said Stinky.

"That was beautiful," said Claudette.

"You two sounded perfectly in sync. That was great," said Dean.

"Thank you pups, I guess we still got it dear," said Eve.

"We never lost it darling," Winston answered.

"With all that excitement, I am ready for bed, how about you pups," said Eve.

Dean let out a yawn and nodded his head. He began walking to the den.

"Oh wait," he said to himself.

He walked away from the group and looked to the moon.

"With all my love, no matter where you are, be well my family, goodnight."

He came back and went into the den. Everyone else was laying down and getting ready to sleep. Dean laid down. He found his own little spot. He then felt someone pushing him. He saw Eve laying down, and he was closer to the pups. It was Stinky, Claudette, Runt, and Dean in a row. He soon fell asleep. It wasn't long after Kate, Humphrey, Garth, and Lilly walked into the den. Kate walked over and laid on the side of the pups with Stinky, and Humphrey laid on Dean's side. Soon everyone was fast asleep.
