Sleepy Fox Hollow tropfen blut

Edit: Wylla is an NPC as of August 6, 2023, which means I can no longer post here with her. Please powerplay her for the rest of the hunt! <3 She will run alongside Paleo, but won't actively engage and is out of reach of any deer due to her pregnancy!

One more wolf trickled in, and it was then that Wylla realized nearly every wolf in attendance was a youth. Only herself, Mahler, and Tierra were any older than a yearling, and the latter had maybe a year on her sons. She had confidence in Anselm and Emmerich, of course, but their hunting today might suffer from a lack of experience.

It struck her, then, that beneath her notice, Paleo had become something of an orphanage.

That wasn't the sort of pack she had envisioned. She decided the birth of their newest children would bring an end to the era of Paleo adopting every stray whelp that crossed their borders, and while it wasn't her decision to make, she made it all the same. Until there were a few more proper adults bolstering their ranks, whether by joining or by these youths growing up, Paleo could not afford to take in any more stray juveniles. She would not risk their newest pups going hungry because of a lack of hunting expertise.

All this went on behind an implacable mask; she passed her mate a reassuring smile when he requested that she join his group, but otherwise her attention remained on the deer as she tried to quell the twisting knot of uncertainty in her belly. She advanced with her group, mindful of the distance kept between her and the deer ahead.

Three adults and four yearlings. She supposed those odds weren't so bad, but they were worse than she would prefer them to be. She simply had to hope none of the yearlings grew nervous and broke ranks.
