Blackfeather Woods A heart for the wild

Joining , hope that's okay with you ^^

Akela had been patrolling the borders and was on his way back when he picked on a scent that he did not like at all. A dangerous scent, one of another kind of predator: a cougar.  Mountain lions were not far from their territory , he knew that, but for one to venture into it , that could end dramatically, especially if someone was not prepared or did not know how to handle a cougar. He usually did not enter any conflict with those cats, because a wolf on his own was not at his best advantage, it could be deadly. However, before alerting others, Akela wished to know if the trail he had picked up was just crossing the area , if the animal was gone, there was no need to howl for anyone.

A sound made him stop dead in his tracks and he looked around, his ears moving to pick up on it again.  His nose moved , picking up the scent of not a cougar, but something else, something that had a familiar scent.  He walked towards the location and discovered between the branches a small ball of white fur.  "What are you doing there little one"  he looked around. "Where is your mom ?" he asked. From what he knew, there was a litter of new borns, a certain Lusa's pups , he had not meet her yet, but he had picked up on her scent on the little one. He hoped to not scare the pup away, he had Burke's scent on him, after all.
