One by one, the rest of the pack joined Reek and Desna on the hillside. The turnout was superb, and Reek couldn't help but feel a surge of pride each time another wolf from the maplewood arrived at the rendezvous site. With the final arrival being Reek's injured mate, Saena, Reek saw that it was finally time to get down to business and devise a plan. In total, they were a respectable group of seven strong. This time, they would not fail.

With most of his pack accounted for, Reek's gaze bounced from packmate to packmate as he assessed each member's strengths and weaknesses.  By Reek's own admission, he was not a seasoned hunter, but the gears of a well-oiled and tactical mind began to turn. Each member, like an individual jigsaw puzzle piece, would fit together in a well made plan, thus making failure an impossibility.  Reek took a step foward and barely peeked over the snowey embankment.  "There," he said, pointing out the nearest doe to the group with a sweeping motion of his muzzle. "That's the one."

He turned back to the group and began to address his wolves one by one. "Luna," started Reek, eyeing the recruit he had been most wary about. "You told me you were fast... it's time to prove it.  Take Desna with you and run the doe over this hill." His gaze then swept to Esaro and Tavi. "You two,  I want one of you on each flank to keep the doe on track." he paused to let his orders sink in. If the doe didn't make it over the hill, the hunt would be over before it could even begin.

"Spring... Laika, you two are with me." He motioned to the flatlands that stretched on their end of the hill. "We'll set up down here and stop the doe's course.  Once she has nowhere to go, we all converge together."  Barring divine intervention, the plan would not fail.  "Clear?" he asked after a quick beat.  With that he motioned for his wolves to take their positions, but before taking his place on the plain, Reek turned to his mate and shot her a confident smirk. "You just stand there and look pretty."  With a final chuff to Spring and Laika, Reek went to take his postion and waited for the others so he could give the final signal.
