Swiftcurrent Creek Our song has not been sung

When Relonikiv righted himself, he was greeted by the sight of Julius's pale pink belly. His eyes went wide and he squealed. Was his brother submitting to him?! Unable to contain himself, the runt bounced on top of Julius with a particularly earsplitting bark. "Bawth!" he cried as he smashed himself on top of his larger, paler brother.

Of course, he knew this was only a game and that the dynamics would shift back to where they belonged, with Julius ranking above him in the scheme of things. Even at this age, he knew and accepted this. Still, Relonikiv enjoyed the chance to role play. He would never be an Alpha wolf but it was fun to pretend sometimes.
