Spread Your Wings

Much like her siblings, Domina was also out and about from the den. She had grown accustomed to her newly found freedom from her parents with ease. Her golden sliced red gaze was fixed upwards to a pigeon as it roosted in the trees about the mountain side. The soft cooing sent chills down her spine, smaller ears twitching at the tips with each soft sound her target made. Domina's tongue slipped between her lips and lapped at the drool that was beginning to pool out the sides of her mouth. Her lanky legs bent in as she drew her body down towards the ground in a stealthy crouch position, her shoulder blades protruding from her back flesh as she did so.

Domina dangerously sought to stalk forth, but a sudden outcry from another wolf broke the silence- the pup's feathered 'friend' took to flight without hesitation and disappeared into the brush with a frightened screech. She straightened her posture just as quick as the bird had taken off, ears upright and alert to make sense of the howl. Uncle Acere. Dual-toned vision shifted down to the base of the mountain and where her uncle's call originated from. Her dark nostrils flared as she let out an annoyed huff of having lost her potential prey. With a swish of her tail and a kick of her over-sized paws, she pranced off towards his location.

In no time at all she found herself descending from the maw, her head and tail held high as she strut along. Once she caught glimpse of the bright white coat of her uncle among the circle of boulders, her lower jaw unhinged as she broke out into a smile. What could he have in store for the pups, she wondered. Whatever it was, she could not contain the anxious and excitement that was building up deep within her core.
