Michael ran after his mother, the two barking as they ran around the big yard, Michael whimpered as the humans called Blaze away. "You'll be fine" Blaze promised her son, touching her nose to the top of his head. 

"But mom!" Michael whimpers, the young pup's tail stilled. Blaze gave him a soft smile before running back to the house. Before Michael could say anything the shadow if Alpha Bean appeared. Michael turned to see his father, Michael whimpered but followed the leader to the forest.

Michael noticed how much Alpha Bean changed, his fur has more brown then black now, making his fur lighter, Michael sighed, wondering how the pack was. He padded after Alpha Bean toward the camp.

The forest under Michael's paws felt different, as a pup it felt like a adventure and comfortable, but now it feels unfamiliar and like he's intruding on the territory,  Alpha bean seemed to notice this and chuckled.

"This will all be your territory someday" Michael just nodded. "Of course" he sighed as they take another turn. "Where are we going?" Michael asks, his fur raising. "Calm down pup, we moved our camp" Alpha bean answers.

Michael nods and scents the wolves, he wondered if his friends would remember him or recognize him, it wouldn't be too hard in his opinion, considering his fur was different then the others.

Michael pushed past some bushes and looked at the camp, it seemed smaller but he was probably just bigger, he watched the pups freeze and back away from him, he frowned and his ears flattened.

Alpha Bean led Michael to his den where they sat down. "Where are my friends?" Michael asked. "You'll see them soon" Alpha Bean yawns. "But first you need to socialize with the other packmates, we've gotten new recruits sense you were last here.

Michael sighed and nodded, he got to his paws and padded out of the den. He decided to meet the older wolves first and went to their den, the bigger wolves looked at him, he dipped his head.

"I'm Michael, Alpha Bean's son" he introduced himself, a grey wolf raised his head slightly and tail wagged softly. "I'm Kild" he spoke back softly, beside him a black wolf raised her head. "I'm Jice" she yawned sleepily.

A gingerish colored wolf wagged his tail. "Im Hwaza!" he barked happily, Michael tilted his head at the happy wolves. "Aren't you suppose to be all tough?" he asked, Kild chuckled. "This is the juvenile den" Michael chuckled. "Im in the wrong den then" he realized, looking at the wolves who definitely weren't full grown.

"Your tiny" Jice giggled, nudging Michael with her muzzle. "I'm not! Your just big" they all chuckled at him. "You'll want to avoid the older wolves though, they aren't too nice, but we can meet the pups!" Hwaza suggested.

Michael followed his new friends to the pup den, inside played two brown wolves and a black one, their mother reminding me of Ashton's family. I smile and watch them, Kild stood beside Michael. "The black one is Eliva and the other twp are her brother and sister Izow and Keter" he speaks softly, smiling at the young pups.

Michael nods and exits the den, he wanted to find Smoke, Ashton, and Shadow but it seemed he wouldn't be able to just yet, he was about to follow Hwaza when a growl was heard, they all turned to see two brown wolves fighting.

Michael watched as others gathered to watch, the packmates growled and barked at each other before pouncing into battle, Michael winced as he watched, trying to identify the fighting wolves. Just when he was about to give up a whiteish wolf jumped in the middle, Michael immediately recognized them. "Shadow?"
