Redtail Rise Crossing the frontier

Sonda moved forward, panting and tired from the long journey. He ran over to try to quench the exhaustion and looked around. He was hungry.

The wolf lifted its head and sniffed warily, and he felt his hair rise in terror at the scent of other wolves.
He froze for a moment, but then tried to calm down and turned to leave. However, he caught a flash of white out of the corner of his eye and turned immediately: a rabbit. At that time he did not think it was a very serious offense to hunt in someone else's territory, or "steal prey", as his mother used to say. He just thought about how hungry he was and instinctively ducked into a stalking stance.

The hunt was very easy, the rabbit was old and skinny, so it was not fast. Then Sunspots grabbed it and, satisfied, trotted off to a shady area to eat it. He sat up and held the rabbit in his paws as he ate it, spreading fur all over the place.

He saw a tree and, when he went to smell it, he realized that he smelled that herd. A feeling filled him completely when he smelled the tree, riddled with the scent of the resident herd. He raised a paw and sprayed him so that he was drenched in his own scent.

His mother had told him that only Alphas marked trees with their paws raised, and that a subordinate who did so would be worth biting. "I'm not part of this pack" he told himself, louder than he intended "I have no commitment to this pack and that's why I can do whatever I want". However, he continued walking nervously and after a few seconds he stopped short.

He saw a blur approaching from afar, and at first he didn't make it out. Then he realized what they were: wolves. he ran back, fear forcing him to stay where the rabbit's remains lay, barely able to move. His only hope was that the approaching wolves were low ranked and he could trick them into fleeing, so he turned, fangs bared in a defensive stance. However instantly he changed his mind and grabbed the rabbit to raise its head. Expecting.
