To Prove Oneself

Req was more than happy she could understand him. Then again hunts didn't require a lot of talking. His world had been silent other than the loud woman who raised him. He was impressed by observing her through the trees. Not mistaking her scent, it seemed she belonged to a pack. He crouched making sure his white pelt was covered by trees and bushes. During the day he had to hunt a bit differently since he stood out. She did well making his ears perk in a bit of fascination for the pack wolf. Ruby had always told him living in such large groups made you a coward.

Req felt his muscles tense once the chase began. His paws flung forward in the terrain. Dodging his way around roots while he tried to close in on the doe. The two children bleeted running in the opposite direction. His ears pinned to the back of his head. Speed filled his limbs as he took a sudden jump for the deer. The animal startled leaning away from him before he could close the distance for a killing bite. Fine, he'd give it to the girl.

The male snapped at the does legs, sending it back towards the left side of the forest. Req kept on its heels though his body beginning to burn from the strenuous activity. With the angle he was at, his hope was to drive it directly into his hunting partner's jaws. If she stopped it and had issues he could help with the killing bite. He couldn't help the quiet excited bark as he drove forward for food.
