Swiftcurrent Creek go and hide yourselves

there were a lot of wolves in this area. there were more scents in the rising sun than ancelin had ever been confronted by in his entire life thus far, and that was without seeing hardly any of the wolves hunting and leaving trails.
like aventus, ancelin had become more a fond of stealth and reticence. while ameline might go right into a packland to introduce herself, her mate was far more furtive and therefore appeared far more suspicious.
he had been watching the borders of the claimed creek for a while that morning, keeping far, far back once he'd caught their outer markers. there were two packs he counted now, and with enough members to do serious harm or death if the bear valley wolves weren't careful. 
finally, ancelin slid from cover and trotted along the treeline, visible but still at a good distance.
