When he got close enough to the water, he bent down and stared. In the water he saw a dark grey wolf, with his underbelly being a colour of light grey and a tail being half dark grey and half light grey combined with that of four black paws. His long muzzle being light grey with blue emerald eyes gazing from the darkness. (He's changed since he was a pup.)

‘ Wow. I do look like a wolf, I never guessed.’ Rex said as he stepped back from the water. Soul looked at him and sighed.

‘ Rex. There’s something I need to tell you, but please don’t get mad, but… I’m half wolf. I’m a wolf dog.’ Soul said as she dropped her head.

‘ You are? Like me, but with more wolf-ness. I thought you were a pure-bred Husky.’ Rex said as he lifted her head.

‘ Yeah. My mum was a Husky and my dad was a wolf. My mom died a year ago and my dad abandoned me to go after his wolf pack. My mom was called Isabella and she went looking for food during a famine and she found my dad, Howler. He was the alpha of the Lunar pack. When the famine was over my mom went back, but after a month, she gave birth to my brother, my sisters and me. I went to look for my dad after she died in White Mountain, but he said that he couldn’t look after me because he had too much to do with the pack. So after that I came here. I found Balto and he understood my pain and he let me stay on his boat. After someone found me looking for food, they took me home and looked after me until I was better.’ Soul explained as memories came back to her.

‘ I too understand,’ Rex then remembered what his mom at sang at the concert. ‘Promises made, not meant to be broken from a long time ago. Oh, so many words still unspoken, tell me how I was to know. I go round and round and round in my head, Wanting to take back whatever I said, No one was right, We all made mistakes, I'm ready to do whatever it takes. I need, my family, my friends.’ Rex then remembered what the song meant.

‘ What is it Rex?’ Soul asked as she saw his face.

‘ I need to go back home. My mom sang a song and…I need to get home. Do you want to come?’ Rex asked as he looked at Soul.

‘ Are you sure? What if they reject me?’ Soul asked.

‘ They won’t ‘cause I won’t, and I haven’t and I never will.’ Rex said as he nuzzled Soul.

‘ Thanks, Rex. You really are a good wolf dog. Not just a lazy Husky like I saw before. I remember a song that Balto taught me because he was different.’ Soul said as she and Rex walked to his house.

‘ Next time Jenna has a concert; you can come with me and sing it.’ Rex said as he reached his front door. When he and Soul walked in, Fly, Fang, Siaira and Balto were sitting by a fire.

‘ Rex? Is that you?’ Fang asked.

‘ Yeah, it’s me. With Soul.’ Rex answered as he put Soul in front of him.

‘ Soul? Soulia? The white wolf dog?’ Balto asked.

‘ Yep, it’s me Balto. I’ve missed you, I really have. Waking up in a house, not on your boat.’ Soul answered as she walked over to Balto.

‘ So this is my grandson. Looks just like a wolf, like my Aleu.’ Balto said as he examined Rex.

‘ Yeah, I just found out what I look like. And where Soul came from.’ Rex replied.

‘ Rex? Are you OK? I was so worried about you.’ Fly said as she got up and walked to Rex.

‘ Yeah, I realized that the song you sang had a meaning and you had no reason to not hide the secret from me. I’m sorry I ran away.’ Rex said.

‘ It’s OK Rex. You had to know sooner or later.’ Fly said as he nuzzled Rex. Everyone, but Soul, went to welcome him back. Soul sat by the window and started to sing.

‘You don’t know my name,

You don’t know anything about me

And you’ve been all wrong,

Now who’d you think I am

You’ve never given me a chance.’

Balto then started singing with Soul.

‘You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
If you could read my mind
You might see more of me that meets the eye.’

‘That’s the song then.’ Rex said as he walked over to Soul.

‘ I taught her myself, but I thought that she had forgotten after these months.’ Balto said as he left Rex and Soul to themselves.

‘ Rex, tell her.’ Siaira said as she winked at him.

‘ What?! I’m not- ‘cause I’m not- OK, OK. I’ll tell her. Soul, there’s something I have to tell you too. I-I-I love you, but not like Pablo. I really mean it.’ Rex said as Soul stared at him for an answer.

‘ Me too Rex. I know that you were different from everyone else, that’s why I came to you for protection. Because I trusted you, you just looked trustworthy to me and I felt something between us.’ Soul said as she turned her head away. She then nuzzled him and he nuzzled back.

Balto then walked out the door and headed to Jenna’s. Fang went back to his house leaving Fly and Siaira to their business. Fly turned for the other room with Siaira and thought about when she and Fang told each other their feelings.

Rex and Soul then went outside and ran to the ocean. They ran side-by-side by the sea current and then stopped at Balto’s boat. Soul climbed on after Rex and they both sat on the bow. Rex then lifted his head back and howled. Soul did so and together they knew they were meant for each other.

Dakoda, Rose, Rex and Soul have no connection to Balto. Only have a connection in the story.
