Black sheep in the crowd [pack meeting]

The deer almost got away if it wasn't for Nako's positioning. With a leap and outstretched paws the fully grown yearling brought his fangs around the deers neck and landed on his side as his momentum brought the animals down from its run. The prey kicked and choked out its cries of distress, a snap reporting through the branches of the lakeside forest as the buck was silenced. The two others with him, Bane and Jakart, erupted through the bushes to find him already through the hide and starting on the chest cavity. His father and half-brother waited as of the liver was torn free and swallowed with a few jerks of his head. The prize of a kill, all three of them beginning to feed after that. Wet crunches of bone and the ripping of lifeless flesh sated the wolves hunger as they devoured the deer. Nako's one good ear was the first to flicker at the sounds of the howl, all of them stopping and looking up. His father gave a sigh and motioned for them to finished what they had in their muzzles. They would come back for this after the meeting with the whole family or bring pieces back to the den should the pups be tired.

Paws sank into the gritty shore as he dunked his muzzle to clean up. At his bothers touch and question Nako spoke a curiously toned 'fine.' Jak didn't have to ask that. They got their prey to feed themselves and the rest of the family back at their dens. His chin rubbed between the often timid younger wolf's ears before they raced to catch up to their father. The meeting still had wolves trickling in, Nako eyeing a white and red pelted she-wolf in curious disbelief as he sat with his family. Epiphron was in Ebony; so that could only mean that Maverick was here too. A stiff but curt nod was give at the familiar wolf, and his attention turned to the one who had summoned them.
