Ava, a little apprehensive, but politely bowed low.
“Greetings, Alpha Suzy.”
Suzy, ever stern, responded briefly, “When you are ready, begin.”
Ava stood at the edge of the clearing, paws damp with sweat, her fur pale.
I saw her nervousness, so I crouched, gently taking her cool paw in mine.
My voice was soft.
“Ava, when you dance, you’re like a young phoenix, so graceful.
Don’t overthink it; dance as you always do.
Alpha Garrett will see your skill.”
Ava took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
Her fur was already loose, and in the vast training grounds, she seemed even smaller.
The pack’s Howlnet camera focused on her as she moved to the center, step by careful step.
Her fur was still pale, but when she looked at Suzy, her bright, dark eyes shone with her love of dance and a touch of stubbornness.
The rhythmic drumming began.
In that moment, Ava closed her eyes, as if suddenly relaxed.
Just like in the mountains, on that familiar territory, with me holding her paw, saying, “Without trying again, how will you know it won’t work?”
A surge of strength filled her small frame.
Her dance may not have been perfectly polished; some movements were imperfect.
But she danced with such immersion, her heart poured into her movements, captivating the watchers.
Every twirl, every delicate step, seemed to tug at the hearts of those present.
Suzy, whose expression had remained impassive, now seemed to show something unsaid in her eyes – a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips.
After the dance, Ava panted, sweat beading on her forehead.
The training grounds fell silent.
Suzy didn’t speak immediately.
She observed Ava for a time, then asked several questions, each more direct than the last.
“Why do you dance?”
Ava paused, then said, “I love dancing, because of my passion and my dreams.” Her voice was still low, a little hesitant, but sincere. With each word, her voice gained strength.
“How long do you think you can continue dancing? If you face greater challenges or harsher situations in the future, will you stop?” These questions were like gentle blows to Ava’s heart.
Ava took another deep breath, trying to steady herself.
“When I dance, I feel as if I can fly.
I don’t know how long I can dance, but I will continue until I can no longer dance!”
“My she–wolf brought me from the mountains, allowing me to stand here.
She gave me a new life, and I will never give up!”
Her words were simple and honest, yet powerful.
Those watching the Howlnet felt their hearts tighten.
It wasn’t easy for this young she–wolf to leave the deep mountains.
The Howlnet comments filled instantly.
‘Let her pass! She absolutely must pass!”

“This pup has endured so much! You can see her sincerity in her eyes!”
“Alpha Garrett, please give Ava a chance!”
But Suzy couldn’t see those comments.
The Howlnet camera slowly turned towards Suzy.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for her final decision.
