Sleeping Dragon A New Wolf

Belle nodded her head and replied "As you wish." She turned and headed off to find a scent.

It was a while - at least half an hour - before she found a scent actually worth following. She followed the scent, careful not to go south of the river, as the alpha had warned. It took her about 15 minutes to find the source of the scent. She smiled as she saw a small elk herd, a rare sight these days. She searched the herd, looking for a weak elk. They were all slightly weak from the cold winter, but they looked as if they were strong enough to fight well. She soon spotted a young buck, straying away from the herd slightly, to investigate something Belle could not see. She approached with caution. If she was sneaky enough, the herd would not spot her. She crept around stealthily, until she was close to the young buck. He had his ears up, he must have heard her approach. She waited for a while, until the buck had forgotten and carried on investigating. Belle watched, until the young elk was facing away from her, and then she pounced. As soon as her claws pierced the buck, it was too late. He shrieked, but the herd was quite far away, and by the time they had realised what was happening, Belle had dragged the carcass into the bushes. Now all she had to do was take it to the alpha.

As she approached the boundaries, panting slightly, she howled to signal her return.
