Stone Circle A whole new world

Steph yawned, stretching her legs and spine before standing up and heading towards the entrance of the den. At five weeks old, she had mostly gotten the hang of walking around, but anything faster than that still took some fine tuning. But, Steph was a patient pup and took things step by step.

The sun was partly hidden behind clouds, so the light wasn't too harsh on her eyes. Still, it took a moment to adjust to the start contrast of the dark den. It didn't look like anyone was around this afternoon, but Steph could smell them. Her nose took in scents like her life depended on it, enjoying learning information about these other wolves that lived here, without actually having to face them. Mom had deemed them all safe, of course, with that group meeting last week, but Steph was still cautious. But, her curiousity was still there. 

She explored the immediate area in front of the den entrance, but kept it within running distance. Instinct and what she had already been taught let her know her Mom was the Alpha, and someone would be stupid to try and harm her children. But, did stupid wolves exist? Steph couldn't imagine doing anything than what her mother told her, but then she hadn't had the opportunity to do so, either. But, maybe today would bring her something new.
