Little Warrior

Her mom paused slightly and offered her a bit of affection as she praised her answers. Poem bounced happily as they continued, glad she had guessed correctly. This lesson wasn’t so bad! She shouldn’t have doubted herself so much though. Her mom jumped right into explenations and Poem again struggled to keep her attention focused. With her paws moving it was a little easier and she listened intently as Shaye explained how the structures of the pack worked, and how Poem was going to need to know everything.

Shaye was starting to lose her daughter again as she went on about something about scent markings and danger. Poem held on though, and Shaye drove the point home that running the pack was a team effort. She would have to choose wolves she trusted in positions of power. They would report what they knew to her, so she could look at the big picture and decide what course of actions would be best for the pack.

Poem tried not to daydream about her future as the alpha as her mother spoke, but she felt more inspired than ever to be a great leader. ”Yes, mom!” She answered as her mother asked if she understood. ”I can’t wait to be alpha!” She said excitedly, her tail wagging as her paws moved quickly beneath her.
