Eyes Open

Altair chowed down on the fish. Even though she wasn’t really that hungry, she would need her strength on the way back, and, considering that Dominus was rather nice enough to give her a free meal, she would accept it without any hesitation. After all, he was her hunting partner for the time being; and since she was focused on becoming Alpha, this would be a great way for her to learn and find meals for the pack if they were ever desperate. The young child didn’t wish to be considered a weakling in anyone’s eyes; especially the man in front of her, even if he was still young himself.


He became a little pushier as Altair heaved a sigh of annoyance. She was still waking up a little, and he wanted to push her to start tracking? But, she couldn’t really be too ungrateful; after all, there were a lot of wolves still lingering on the island and their scents might ruin the chance of prey...at least that was what the pup thought considering everything was still a learning experience for her still. She got up and shook her coat free from any debris and tidied it up a bit before following the older male out onto the shore.

“Yes, Sir, but what do you think we’ll hunt? I’m...still rather small to hunt larger prey unlike yourself so...my guess rabbits?” She asked, a little unsure of herself; but her curiosity always seemed to get the best of her; hopefully she didn’t sound stupid to him as she always thought her words and ideas did seem dumb sometimes, especially with how young she was. She’d have to believe in herself a little more, the young pup thought as she tilted her head to listen Dominus.
