Hideaway Strath It’s crazy what you’ll do for a friend

She hated leaving the children, but she knew she couldn't watch them every second of the day. She needed to take some time for herself too, even if it felt wrong to do so. Plus, she knew they would be well cared for with Arlette; she trusted the other mother completely. 

It didn't take long for Ky to pick up on something for them to track and with a playful bump, he took off. She sprinted forward to catch up with him, and then slowed to a trot at his side. The wind brought the scent of deer, and she knew then where they were going.

They were like one unit as they tracked the herd through their territory. They knew each other inside and out, and it was if she could read his mind as they moved; if he changed directions, she was in step with him. If he paused to inspect the scent of their prey, she stopped too, completely in sync with her mate.

As they continued to move, the scent got stronger and the sounds of the herd reached her ears. She knew they were close, and her heart raced with excitement as adrenaline coursed through her. It had been far too long since she had hunted with just Ky, and she was looking forward to taking down their prey together.
