The Alpha male was a powerful hunter, and it was evident in his movements and the aggression with which he attacked the deer. He was driven by both instinct and emotion, and while Elwood stayed close by, he was sure not to get in Peregrine's way. As soon as it looked as though the master gamekeeper would be successful in bringing his prey to the ground, Elwood slammed on the brakes and halted, taking the moment to catch his breath. He watched as Peregrine sliced the doe's neck, effectively ending her life, then stepped back.
After only a brief pause, the swarthy male lifted his muzzle to the sky and howled, a deep and potent message in Derp's honor. Elwood waited only a beat before joining him, his own cry not as loud as Peregrine's but harmonious all the same. When the wolves finished their simultaneously triumphant and sorrowful song, Peregrine tore the deer's stomach open and revealed not one, but two fawns. Elwood's eyes widened; he couldn't believe their luck.
He stepped up next to his friend when Peregrine indicated for him to do so, then began to slice at the tender meat and flesh with his teeth. They would feed well off of this kill, and there would be plenty left for Fox and the rest of the pack. All in the memory of Derp.
