Family is Key: Chapter 6

Ranger and Aleu are at the point of fighting. Kodi and Dusty have to let the pups go home.

'Ranger, back down, and I'll let you go.' 'It's cute Aleu, that you think intimidation will help this time.' Aleu growls, and the wind shifts, facing Ranger head on. 'This is your real sister Kodi. Just look at how vicious she is. Do you really want her around your pups?' Ranger looks at Kodi, and grins. 'Just look at her. Kodi. This is who she really is.' Kodi looks at him with anger. Suddenly, a warm feeling grows inside him, as his eyes turn orange. 'I think it's time for you to leave, he says, as Tirza, who's eyes are now bright green, stands next to him. Ranger smiles. 'Ya'll don't know what ya'll are thinkin'. He than shuts up, as Balto walks over to him, eyes blazing with fire. 'I do think it's time for you to leave, before you'll do something you'll regret.' Ranger looks at the others, as his eyes turn back to normal. 'Fine, fine. I'm leavin'. But remember darlin', your back ain't here to help you.' Aleu growls one more time, and Ranger whelps and runs into the woods.

'So, what was that?' Kodi looks at his father. 'You just used the power Aniu, my mother, gave me. And I gave it over to you. Aleu has used it before, because she's pack alpha. But you didn't need to use it, because you live in town.' Aleu looks at her brother. 'Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it real soon.' 'But how did Ranger have the ability to use it, if he isn't in Aniu's line.' 'He's Pack Alpha to. At least, he was. All alpha's have it. And Tirza can use it because of her Aniu Heritage. The pups will also be able to use it, too.' Kodi looks at the ground. 'Talking about the pups. It's Adoption Day tomorrow. So, I'm of to bed. See you tomorrow.' Saying that, Kodi walks back home.

'I'm scared Daddy.' Kodi smiles. 'Don't worry Siber. It's be fine.' A boy walks over to the box and pick him up. 'See, you have a human already', Kodi says, and Siber smiles. 'He has a good human. I'm sure he'll have fun.' Dusty nuzzles her mate. Aniu, Phelan and Esky get adopted next, followed by Nijuk and Lexa. 'Mommy, why isn't anyone picking me?' Dusty and Kodi look at Saidi. 'Don't worry Honey, I'm sure someone'll come for you.' Saying that, someone from the post office walks over to the box and pick up Saidi. 'Looks like you'll be living with Aunt Aleu after all.' Saidi grins and lets out a small howl, before licking her owner. 'See you tomorrow Daddy', she says, waving at her parents as she gets carried to the post office.

Shorter chapter this time. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I just want to wish everyone a fantastic 2019.
