"When my sister died, she made me promise to keep him safe. So I do." He mutters, showing the pain on his face before he turns away from me. Freddy whines slowly next to me and I see Jaxson look back with a look of pure sorrow for his lost sister. I couldn’t imagine losing Alex, she is like a sister to me and I would be lost.

"I'm sorry for your loss." I stroke Freddy’s head, when he whines gently again and puts his head on my lap. Jaxson watches with Freddy with a strange expression before commenting,

"I can't believe his wolf lets you so near. Wolves hate human’s, even ones they are protecting." He looks back at me in the mirror, trying to find a reason.

"Animals become calm around me, they always have. That’s one of the reasons why I want to be a vet." I tell him before looking away at the passing trees; I swear I see a few glimpses of animals watching us as we pass. We don't say anything more but I’m aware every time Jaxson watches me in his mirror like he is trying to work something out about me. We take too many turns for me to remember until we come to a line of trees.

“It will feel weird for you to pass but hold onto Freddy and don’t let go,” Jaxson warns me, I go to reply but stop as Jaxson drives through the trees, that part for him as he gets close. A warm sensation covers my body and my grip on Freddy tightens as I fight a wave of sickness. When I finally open my eyes, I see we are driving up on a long road with many cabins on each side. There are several people walking around and I see around twenty cabins but there are small dirt roads leading off the main one to other cabins in the distance. We eventually pull up to one of the larger cabins that stand out from the rest due to its size. It looks around three stories, with old style wooden windows. The cabin itself has a wraparound porch on the lower level and many potted plants line the ground near the house. There’s a large garage at the side with enough room for at least five cars and there’s a few parked outside. I look back at the large wooden door that has two large wolves facing each carved into the wood, I can’t miss it even from the car. I also notice the two real large wolves’ standing by the front door, one is a cream colour with brown patches and the other is a light brown. I'm guessing this is the alpha house.

I climb out the car, with Freddy following close behind me.
