Firefly Ravine BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

Always an outcast in Seadog, Denali was surprised to hear Sen's howl include a note for his name. For a brief instant, he thought to ignore it--perhaps it had been a mistake--then he shook his head. Sen did not make mistakes. The burly wolf galloped toward the scene and found his pack hunched over a dead faun, teeth digging into their prey.

His mouth watered as his flared nostrils caught the tangy scent of fresh blood on the air. Finally, ungulates were making their way back to Teekon. He had not eaten anything larger than a rabbit in weeks.

Denali surveyed the kill. There wasn't much left. For an instant, he considered diving in, taking his fill, then he noticed Rana lurking behind as well. It would be incredibly bad wolf manners to "cut in front" of her, per se, so he took a step back, his stomach rumbling. After all, Rana had not eaten, and Sen needed all the food she could get for her pups.

He stifled a bark of amusement as the thought of Sen's welfare rose to his mind. Was he really starting to care for the beastly young female? Rolling his eyes, he began to pad away from the prey, despite his stomach growling in protest. He would find something else to eat, elsewhere.
