After spending hours running through the endless valley, the four wolves stopped to rest.

Scratch panted and looked at everyone. "Are we all good?"

Everyone but Thunderbolt said yes. He wasn't even with the group!

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Uh, has anyone seen Thunder?" Scratch asked. Howl and Shadow looked around.

"Thunder!" Scratch shouted.

Oh no, he thought to himself. He's gone! Suddenly Max heard a rustle come from behind him.

It was Thunderbolt!

"There you are, we thought we lost you!" Scratch said. Thunderbolt had his head hung low, eyes to the ground.

"Hey, are you okay?" Howl asked him.

Thunderbolt ignored him, he turned to where Shadow sat and began to lay down.
