PROLOGUE
The fresh scent of fox ran up her nose, and the she-wolf lifted her feeble head. It was almost her time to give birth to her first litter of pups. Suddenly, the bushy fur of the fox was visible. The she-wolf growled, and the fox ran.
"Oh, thank Deo!" She cried aloud, the fox wouldn't be trouble. Snow was gently falling outside of the den. As she lay in wait, her first twinge in her belly made the she-wolf yelp, surprised.
The birth was long and horrible. She knew Deo was punishing her for mating outside of her pack. The she-wolf's sides were heaving up and down, pain gripped her belly.
"I'm sorry, Deo!" She yelped, "Help me!" With one final push, the last of six pups was born.
She licked and licked. Hard. But the snow and ice were more powerful. By nighttime, four pups were gone. The last two were both female. One was tawny with lilac colored streaks in it. Strange, no wolf had streaks! The other was a grey-ish white with sky blue streaks.
Somehow, the new mother she-wolf knew that these sisters were remarkably.......... special.
