It was a warm spring morning in the forest when Lilith came out of her den.
Blackheart, her mate was still sound asleep jerking around as if he was having a nightmare.
Lilith walked up to her sleeping mate and gently nudged his cheek trying to wake him up.
After nudging him a couple times she gave up trying to wake him and went outside to
go hunting hoping Blackheart wont worry too much when he sees she’s gone.
Lilith walks up to Firestorm, Blackheart’s best friend and Beta male of the pack,
and told him to tell her mate that she has gone out to catch their breakfast. Firestorm
obediently obeyed his leaders orders and sat outside the alphas’ den waiting for Blackheart to
awaken. Lilith left sure that the obedient beta would warn Blackheart where she was.
In the forest all was quiet and peaceful she longed so much to just sunbathe on a
rock and nap. Lilith sniffed the air for the scent of a rabbit or something that will fill her
and Blackheart’s belly. Soon she caught the scent of a rabbit and instantly started toward the
scent silently. Soon Lilith could see her prey and crouched down in the grass and started
to come towards the rabbit slowly. The rabbit threw its head up apparently aware of Lilith’s
presence and started franticly looking around and caught the yellow eyes of Lilith. The rabbit
suddenly dashed across the field with Lilith close to its tail. The rabbit tried to get away
from the hungry she-wolf but it was too late Lilith had caught up to the rabbit and killed it
with a quick snap of the rabbit’s neck.
Lilith started towards home satisfied with her catch, she was sure her mate would be
glad to see her with food in her jaws. Lilith came to the clearing of her pack’s territory
she looked up at her den and saw the figure of her mate’s body. Lilith happy that her mate
had finally awaken started wagging her tail and began quickening her pace.
Blackheart had finally seen his mate coming apparently happy that she
had caught food for them. Blackheart went to greet his mate with loving licks to her muzzle.
Blackheart was happily wagging his tail as Lilith came to greet him with happy yips.
Blackheart politely took the prey from his mate’s jaws and walked it into their den.
Blackheart barked letting Lilith know it was time to eat.
Lilith came into the den ready to eat as Blackheart allowed her to take the first bite
then joined in their tails wagging. Lilith glanced at Blackheart letting him know that soon
their going to need to go on a hunting patrol with the pack , it was Blackheart’s turn to
lead the hunting patrol so Lilith could rest. Blackheart grunted letting her know he was going
to take the pack out hunting and walked out of the den and howled to tell the pack it was time
to go hunting. Lilith walked to the back of the den and curled up in a ball and drifted to sleep.
Blackheart gathered his pack together and picked out his strongest hunters to go
with him. Blackheart picked Firestorm, Iceshadow, Littlerock, Tigershade, and Dewdrop to
come with him on the hunting trip he would need his strongest hunters to catch a moose big
enough to feed the pack. Blackheart started leaving when he heard his mate call him he
looked back at the den to see what she wanted and she told him to be careful especially
since this is the time when most man hunters come around he barked to her to let
her know that he will return safe. Blackheart started out again and glanced back at
the den one more time before he left with his hunters.
Blackheart and his hunting patrol had reached a field where most deer and
moose are usually grazing. Blackheart sniffed the air to see if there were any moose
or deer around it took a while before he scented moose and yipped to the pack to gather
and follow him. Blackheart’s hunting patrol was once again in the forest as he sniffed the
air again the moose scent was stronger here and so Blackheart once again started following
the scent his patrol close behind. Blackheart reached a big rock and he could smell the
moose’s presence now. Blackheart quietly glanced over the rock and saw the moose grazing
on a tree leaf. Blackheart jumped off the rock and signaled the pack to split up so they could
surround the moose.
Blackheart was close to the side of the rock where the moose was in clear view so
he could keep his eyes locked on the moose. Blackheart heard the crunch of a leaf and looked
around to see that Tigershade had stepped on a dead leaf making their presence noticeable
Blackheart gave Tigershade an angry look. Tigershade’s tail went between his legs realizing
when they get back he’s going to get a lecture from his leader later. Blackheart locked his
gaze once again on the moose who was now aware of their presence.
CHAPTER 2
Blackheart looked around at his pack and gave them the signal to attack.
Soon wolves were everywhere and the moose was trapped but not ready to give up his
life to the pack of wolves. Tigershade started nipping at the moose’s hind leg apparently
unaware that it had made the moose mad. The moose gave a challenging wail to
the young hunter and picked up its other hoof prepared to strike at Tigershade’s
head. Out of nowhere Littlerock blocked the hoof from hitting Tigershade and
yelped painfully as the hoof struck her head and knocked her out. Blackheart
looked in horror at Littlerock sure she was going to die and ran up to her
tossing her away from the moose hoping she still had a little strength left in her.
Blackheart jumped at the moose’s neck and tore his teeth into its flesh weakening
the moose a little from there he gave the signal for the wolves to bite at its legs.
Iceshadow bit hard on the right front leg, Tigershade Bit on the left front leg,
Dewdrop bit the right hind leg, and Littlerock still week from the blow bit as
hard as she could on the left hind leg. The moose collapsed and Blackheart pounced
off of the moose’s shoulders as the pack gathered around and killed the moose together.
Lilith staring eagerly into the forest waiting for the hunting patrols return she
heard a single howl from her mate letting her know he needed help carrying whatever
he had caught back to the camp. Lilith hurredly came out and called her pack together
to pick the wolves who will help the patrol bring back their food. Lilith picked
Snowfire, Leafheart, Smallpebble, and Fawnseed. Lilith and her pack set out
to find the hunting patrol.
Lilith finally reached Blackheart’s patrol and saw that they were ready
for them to help. Lilith barked at the wolves she brought with her to help lift the moose.
Lilith and Blackheart’s patrols finally reached the camp and dropped the moose in
the middle of the clearing as the pack streamed in to eat, Lilith glimpsed Blackheart
talking to Darkmoon, the healer of the pack, Lilith wondered why he would need
Darkmoon’s assistance. Lilith trotted over to Blackheart and Darkmoon and saw that Littlerock
was being examined by Darkmoon. Lilith gave her mate a questioning look Blackheart
whimpered telling her he would tell her tonight. Lilith left it at that and looked down at her
friend with worried eyes and Littlerock weakly yipped to Lilith that she was ok.
Lilith didn’t believe her friend but promised she would come see her in the healer’s den
and Littlerock nodded in approval as Lilith looked at the healer to see if it was ok to come
visit her friend. Darkmoon nodded in approval as well Lilith licked her friend comfortingly
on the cheek.
