Peace was never an option

It was obvious the bear was starting to have second thoughts.  It was a ridiculously outweighed fight.  Two wolves could often manage a bear alone and with the four of them, they hadn’t taken any chances with this task.  When the bear started to run Rudy had stepped out as if to chase to keep encouraging it to move faster but halted.

Rudy spun around in a sharp pivot as Art was thrown back, quickly moving to him instead.  A quick observation seemed to show his brother to be alright, especially as he was getting back up.  No point apparently in asking if he was fine but instead Rudy joined in on the howl.  Let any predator out there know this wasn’t just one wolf making a claim.  

Rudy nodded at Art’s plan, choosing to head north, nose scenting the air as he walked.  Adding his own markings about the terrain as he went..  There would be no question from anyone passing through that this land was being claimed and thus no excuse for anyone to stay around thinking it safe.
