Hunt With Us

Lionel didn’t speak up on the matter, but Alfie suspected his brother might feel the same way. His father was quick to toss in some information that the young man didn’t necessarily want to hear, but he supposed it was rational. He certainly didn’t want to have to hunt something that dangerous, but when Bright Moon spoke up he realized that pretty much any prey animal held its risks. At this Alfred perked his ears again, trying to do his best to focus on the lesson that Bright Moon was attempting to teach them.

Though Alfred was worried about failure, he wasn’t so worried that he wouldn’t at least try to do what he needed to do. He was a wolf… he took a breath, doing his best to manage that anxiety within him. But it seemed that words were about to turn into action and, with baited breath, Alfie watched as miss Bright Moon began to move, closing the distance between her and the prey.

Alfred watch with amazement how Bright Moon successfully completed her hunt. He wiggled in place, his blue gaze shining. “That was awesome!” The young man said softly. Patience… right! He could be patient, couldn’t he? He glanced towards Lionel and then his father. But… did he have the courage to try next? He shifted a little, feeling his heart start to beat faster. Maybe… maybe he’d wait to see if one of them wanted to do it first instead.
