again. Denis watched her in wonder. He didn’t know that she was a child but he was sure that she hadn’t been the most patient. And that's what his father had always said when his patience was broken during tasks. Then he always said: "Well, you and your sister certainly didn't inherit the short patience from me." Now that he saw how she treated Sheeta, or whatever the little girl's name, she looked almost motherly. And grow insane. But she was just like himself. That she had gained a lot of maturity in the last few weeks in which they were apart, thought Hige too, who had finally caught up with the two of them.

In the meantime I had built up Sheeta so far that she could stand alone. She pressed herself against me, trembling. She even went so far that she transformed into a human. I did the same and knelt down next to her.Shivering and crying, she fell into my arms. I stroked her head reassuringly and after a while the sobbing got quieter. And again a while later she broke away from me. "Are you okay again?" I meant. She nodded and said softly: “Yes.” Although I knew that I sounded like my own mother, which I always wanted to avoid at all costs, I said: “Does something hurt you?” She nodded and said: “Yes, the head and the back. "I carefully grabbed the back of her head, since I had seen that she had fallen on the stone. She grimaced and I quickly took my hand away again. However, I had blood on my fingers, which I didn't particularly like. Quietly so as not to upset her even more, I said: "Sheeta, you are bleeding, you know that? We have to see that we bring you home. However, I'll see who's so stupid beforehand and kidnap you. So I changed and left slowly to the wolf, who still hadn't got up.Apparently he or she crashed into the rock harder than expected and intended. The guys who had kept quiet in the background until now and had Aki done, now came closer to protect Aki or hold her back in the event of a fall. Sheeta pulled back, shaking and whimpering as the two of them passed her. I noticed that but now I couldn't take care of it. I would explain to her later that she didn't have to be afraid of Hige or my brother. But right now the anger burned inside me. Sheeta was bleeding and all because of this idiot who probably thought she was a quick snack. I walked over to the rock, growling. The cracks in the clouds and the sparse light of the stars were enough for me to recognize my counterpart. There was ................ the dark gray old she-wolf. She was conscious but in shock. Still, she gave me a challenging grin. Then she transformed. If I was expecting a woman around fifty, I was very wrong.The woman who came out could easily have been my grandma. She said scornfully: "Well, you see, I'll get the two of them. Now the barrel had passed. Sheeta had hurt Sheeta just because she was waging a campaign of revenge against me. I was angry with her anyway and had sworn to teach her a lesson if something should happen to me or the puppies. And now Sheeta had pain and a head wound that was not easy to secure. I noticed again that I was losing control, but didn't fight it. Hige who was standing next to me noticed it and interposed me and the old she-wolf. Not that he didn't understand Aki. On the contrary. He understood her all too well. When he saw Aki so helpless under Akukei, the anger had gotten away with him too. However, it didn't work out so well when how killed a wolf from the neighboring pack, put everything on one card and nudged Aki carefully, expecting Aki to only see him through a veil and angrily yap at him he should e go away.Denis looked at his sister in horror. Even if he hadn't known her for a long time, he was sure that she was a gentle one and that this anger didn't match her gentle appearance at all. Startled, he took a few steps back. Hige her like the last time she would snap at him. But she seemed to have got stronger willed during the time they were separated, because immediately after he touched her the anger disappeared and she calmed down. For a moment she rested her head on his. Then she went on and sniffed at the she-wolf who had been left defenseless. She couldn't growl anymore, because between them all something plopped softly into the snow. Aki spun around and looked around. The old she-wolf took advantage of that and jumped up and fled, because she had stood next to me in the last great battle and saw how I had freaked out. And that's why she watched as she disappeared as quickly as possible. But nobody was interested.Sheeta had passed out. She was covered in blood in the snow around her head. Hige, who had also turned around, thought for a moment that he had a Dejavü. The little one reminded him of Aki the whole time and when she lay there in the snow he remembered that night when he had found Aki in the snow. As if to emphasize his memories, it started to snow. I transformed and fell into the snow next to the little body. What should I do. The first thing that occurred to me was to put her in the warm. But when Hige had exactly the same thoughts a few months ago, I dismissed the idea. What if she had internal injuries. Hige stood next to me and saw my dilemma. The blood irritated his nose. It also seemed to be blood from Aki's pocket. At least that's how it smelled. So he nudged the bag. I looked at him confused and then reached into my pocket. There was actually something soft in it. And a roll of bandages emerged.Of course I had it in my pocket yesterday when I helped Cheza clean the bandages. Carefully but firmly, I wrapped the bandage around her head. Then I picked it up and looked around first. I just ran after the old woman without paying any attention to where. Now it occurred to me that it couldn't be far to our cave. I would have loved to send Hige or Denis up front, but neither of them knew where they had to go. Just as I was taking the first steps, someone jumped at me. I dropped Sheeta, but she was caught by Hige, who reacted well and turned into a human. I too had changed and was now lying under this old she-wolf. But not for long because I didn't let her offer me that. With a quick jerk she stretched out under me and my rice teeth were dangerously close to her neck. I would have wanted to end her life and was about to lose control. However, I was taken in the neck fur before the time came.I looked around, slightly angry. I wanted to kill her. Startled at my walking thoughts, I looked around. Hige stood next to me. Calmly but firmly he said: "Aki read it. You have other things to do." Of course! He was right, what was I doing here? Hige let go of me and transformed me. To the she-wolf I said: "Be glad that he was there, otherwise you would not be alive anymore. See that you leave before I change my mind. And woe to you run across me again, especially in my area. Then I'm sure it won't end so lightly. "With that, I turned on my heel and took the little she-wolf from Denis, who was now also a human being and whom Hige Sheeta had pressed into his hand. Then I went and walked vigorously. Neither the two boys nor the she-wolf dared to move. Hige stares at me in surprise, Denis after me with a mixture of confusion and respect. Until I turned around and said: "Well, guys, what are you guys coming or are you just staring after me?Instantly the two woke up from their stupor. They transformed and ran after me. The she-wolf, on the other hand, finally and finally gave scorching and saw that she brought land between me and her.

When we got to our hill something brown shot through the night. It stopped in front of me. I said: "Well, Pazuo, did you wake up?" He looked at me questioningly and then saw his sister. Apparently he blamed Hige and Denis for it, because he growled at them. I had never experienced that before, after all it was always Sheeta who started to growl, but I calmed him down and explained that the two belonged to me. I went quietly into the cave, put Sheeta down and transformed myself. Yawning, I lay down so that she was between my paws. Pazuo immediately snuggled up against my stomach. Hige also lay down next to me and I leaned against him gratefully. How glad I was to have him back. The feeling of security that had been missing for so long was there again.Denis, on the other hand, was deliberately left a bit outside. It wasn't his pack, at least not yet. He hoped the others would accept him. As used to being alone, he envied Hige and Aki their friends for whom they apparently walked over corpses. While Aki Hige and the little brown wolf soon slept, he brooded for a while. He had wondered how his sister would be since he had found Hige quite exhausted at a river and who had called him with Aki. She wasn't a bit like him. At least that's what he suspected after the first few hours. He was the total loner but a little coward. But a quiet person in need of peace. No wolf. He really had to get used to that. She, on the other hand, seemed very temperamental and did not avoid an argument. And besides, she seemed to be sociable, because if he looked around he counted six wolves and a strange girl who Higes tales had to be the flower girl after Cheza.Furthermore, that suspected something going on between Hige and her. It was probably as loving as he told about her and the way she had fallen into his arms. And who did the two pups belong to? About the two of them anyway? Rather less than the brown guy who had greeted her so, had growled not only at him but also at Hige, and that would certainly not be the case if he were the father. Well In any case, he would have to get to know his sister again, whom he had not seen or heard from her for over thirteen years. And that would take time. Father had always refused to tell about her and mother. But at least there was a photo of all four on the mantel. When the photo was taken, he and Aki were very young. And when he saw Aki again today, he immediately had to think of the photo. She looked so much like
