Neverwinter Forest Intrepid

Tonravik watched the beast with apt interest. It had not lifted its head so in days. Its great set had weighed the beasts head down, and wore it into even further exhaustion. But adrenaline coursed through it then, and it gave the alpha female pause. 

It would be smartest, she decided, to wait until the adrenaline ran its course. Her ears flicked, searching for outside sounds and moving to look through the wood. The other was at a vantage point in that he would see her before she made note of him, but she stalked around her to-be meal loosely, protectively. Its killer was also its guardian, and her tail lashed predatorily behind her. 

No mountain lions, no bears, but perhaps other wolves. The dark alpha female could not know yet, but the signs pointed currently to the fact she might be alone... and it was then her eyes drew to the area where Impala lurked.
