Bramblepoint BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

Steady visibly relaxed when the Alpha agreed to his deal. Thank you, he said, his tail wagging, before he turned to Ezekiel and Phocion. Do as she says. Work as a team with them, he instructed. Phocion seemed pleased enough to go along, for which Steady was grateful, but he didn't get the same feeling from Ezekiel. If they were to eat today, they had to put aside their differences and work with the other pack. There was no room for error, and pride could not get in the way here. If either of them failed to do their best, they would get it from Steady later.

Thankfully, the bear had been preoccupied with its own meal to notice the group of wolves. But, now, they were going to interrupt, and Steady knew he would not be happy about it. The group made their move, and Steady made his own, going for the opposite side as the Alpha female. He sunk his teeth in, releasing quickly as the bear fought back.
