Noctisardor Bypass A home away from home?

Coeus continued his journey through the mountain; his limbs felt heavy, his head spinning, hunger had never gotten to him like this. There was a time he could go months without eating, but ever since he trailed his way into this general area, he was starving. Anything would do, a bird, a snake, even grubs would do. 

He continued his way ignoring the urge to hunt; he needed to practice decorum under extreme moments of duress. That was when a particular scent hit his nose, an aroma that always tantalized him no matter where he was, blood... He took in a whiff and followed the smell either something was hurt, or another wolf left a corpse unattended. He followed the scent, but it didn't seem anywhere near. 

He scanned the ground as he ran, his nose was leading somewhere, but his eyes had found nothing indicating a dead or even dying potential meal. The sounds of his paws thumping on the ground wasn't doing him any favors ground was an injured being nearby.
