My heart pounds as I soar over the forest floor. My paws hardly touching the ground, my nose leads me to the male deer infront of me. I can almost close my eyes and follow him with my nose, if it weren't for all the trees. I am getting close, I can feel it. His scent is getting stronger now. I leap and land square on it's back. Rearing up on his hind legs, the deer tries to shake me off. I growl and throw it to the ground, beneath my mighty paws. In one quick motion, I snap it's neck between my jaws. It goes limp, it's over for the deer. I thank the forest for this deer's life, for this deer will give my pack life. I know it will live on in the glorious place we all go when the stars take us.
"Whisper! Nice catch!" I turn around. It was Fang! Fang is my best friend here in the pack. We are brother and sister after all, we have always been great friends! Ever scince the stars gave us to our mother! or at least thats what she tells us...
Fang and I walk back to the pack settlement with the deer on our backs. We holler a greeting and walk in. The wolves crowd around as we drop the deer on the ground with a thump. Due to custom, our alpha Starr takes the first bite. Then us, because we caught the deer and have rights to eat before others. Then the upper wolves, the middle wolves and finally, the omegas.
After eating our fill, we walk into our little dens, covered in soft moss. I close my eyes and rest my head on the floor of the den and fall asleep. But before I drift off, I think about what a great leader Starr is. Starr is wise and is like a father to us all. What would the packs be without him. I batt myself on the nose. He already has an Alpha Female! and with that I drift into dreams
