Swiftcurrent Creek Bumblebees

Having followed his chosen bitch home, Farstep began preparations for the takeover of the pack.

It wasn't hostile, not really. Instinct told him that, having secured the attention of the Alpha female and believing her possessed her, he was to be the Alpha male, and her wolves would gather beneath him as well. It was an incorrect assumption, by all means, but one that nevertheless he wholly believed because nature told him that was how things worked.

So deep in that belief was he that the ginger male picked his way along the territory's outskirts, seeking every spot that any wolf but Fox had marked and overlaying his own urine over it. He soon would come to understand that this land was completely unlike his own homeland and every other wolf pack in the world, but it wouldn't be through explanations and arguments, not of the non-physical sort.
