Phoenix Maplewood All the times that you rain on my parade

Kael had just enough time to make a den and catch one malnourished rabbit before he had the fortunate luck of stumbling upon his Alpha. He had started that morning with nothing more than happiness and contentment at his acceptance to Phoenix Maplewood by two dark wolves with contrasting features. He was blissfully unaware to any inner conflicts that may had happened throughout the pack, and naturally he danced around the terrain as if the whole protected lands was his oyster.

Kael had picked out a den the night before, doing all the work of digging it out under a remarkable hill. He was prompt and precise in his work, rubbing himself all over the place, caking his whole fur with mud and brush and foliage. In the morning, he went hunting. The lands were alive despite the winter weather, and while the food source was bountiful he had zeroed in on one unlucky rabbit. It had really given him some work to catch it, and it was almost not even worth it. He had mad dashed from one end of the field to the other, scrambling desperately through the brush and across the woodlands. He emerged, loudly, from the brush and pounced upon the creature, hearing its screams only for a few seconds before he snapped its neck efficiently and pulled his head up triumphantly and began to bark in exuberance. 

It was in that moment where he saw the other canine figure. Slumped and defeated, he was alarmed simply by the insane juxtaposition of the moment. His catch, his happiness, his stride in his life seemed to be stunned in place and he took a few seconds to just figure out what in the world his life was giving him now. Moments went by before something in his brain clicked, and he began to jog over, cautiously, to inspect the other wolf, rabbit still held aloft in his tawny muzzle.

He got close enough to the other, and gave a soft woof of an introduction through the rabbit's fur. He, stupidly, didn't even think if she had heard him before, and that she probably was watching him the whole time.
