As soon as he was out of sight, my Wolf and I both felt proud of what we were able to do. We went back across the stream and made our way to our territory. We made sure to run along the boarder and check everything, then I made our way to the pups. When I arrived at the den, I found a tired Danny with three pups jumping on him, pulling his ears and tail. When he looked up, he gave me a look of hope, but I just smiled and went towards the den. Danny whined as I went past him, doing nothing to free him of his uncle duties along the way, other than snicker. I had to fulfill my evil sisterly duties every once in a while, didn't I?
When I entered my den, I changed into my skin, and started to work on my rabbits. I was Happy that I caught them for the end of this winter. Spring was coming in a few days, so I didn't want to waist any good pelts to be made. When I was done, I changed to my fur and brought the pelts out of my den, then hung them up on a large tree root to be dried by the sun.
I then picked Angela up from up top of Danny head so she would fall and get hurt and brought her with me in the den. When I growled, her two brothers scurried to comply, leaving my poor brother alone. I distinctly hear him sigh as I put Angela down beside one of the rabbits that the triplets were to share. They happily started to eat it as I slowly started on mine.
When they finished, they played together until the food in their bellies made them tired, and soon fell asleep in a tangle of limbs. I smiled happily at them, and made my way out of the den. As soon I appeared though, Danny growled a warning at me. There was another Wolf nearby, and soon his sent reached me as well.
I fully got out of the den, and gave a loud growl as I stood beside my brother, telling the other Wolf to show themselves. Slowly, he came out from behind a tree and came towards us, a badger in his jaws. Since the badgers were few in numbers and a lot of trouble to catch, Danny and I generally left them alone.
The wolf walked up to us and placed the dead badger at my feet, then backed away. He was asking for entrance in our small pack.
What should we do with him? I wondered with my Wolf. We glanced at Danny to see what he thought, but he didn't seem to mind. He was watching the wolf carefully, but at the same time he was not growling or holding hostility.
He's dangerous because we don't know him, I thought.
But he would be a valuable asset to have, even if he is a normal Wolf. My Wolf answered.
We won't be staying here for much longer though; our parents need to be avenged, we need to find our mate, and our pups might not be safe with him. I worried to her.
And we will be in heat soon. Perhaps he only asks to stay so he can try to be with us.
With that said, we walked away from the offering of friendship, making Danny growl and the other Wolf whimper. He walked away, leaving the badger were it was.
