What comes next?
Things were picking up a little, but not as much as she'd like. There were more patrols, a few more trainings. The mentors started their training...well, some of them. And those who hadn't would be reassigned. She had yet to start training Lykos, but he didn't seem to interested to begin with. So as a test, she would wait for him to approach her.
She'd done the second patrol for the day, and the alphess would leave the pines to scout the neighboring territory. With the pack growing so quickly, it was never too early to start searching out a new territory to add to the pack. They would need a lot more sustenance soon, and with a new litter on the way, it was crucial.
As the woman lumbered through the forest, she would pause as she heard a couple of voices nearby. Her head tilted, wondering who it was and where they were. Though judging by the sound of the voices, they were pretty close. She would go in the direction that she was sure it came from, paws lightly stepping on the bare ground. With summer here, the snow had melted quite significantly, leaving even her territories brown instead of keeping the blanket of snow. The further she went, the stronger the scent got. And it seemed, one was recognizable as wolf, and the other...she wasn't too sure. As they came into view, she spotted a young she-wolf lying on a branch, and casually she'd approach. "Excuse me, are you two alright?" Even if they were, it didn't hurt to ask right? |
