Layla felt her love nuzzle her as she arrived. She loved her mate dearly, but felt deep inside her that something was wrong. It was like she had a hunch and that something bad was going to happen between them. The mistress folded her ears down as she rubbed lovingly against him. She just wanted to show him how much she still loved him and that she still wanted to be with him. For some reason she felt like their love was fading and there was nothing left for them. She hated the feeling and wanted to do something about it. The black and white she wolf let out a soft sign before waiting to see who else was coming.
Layla watched as the next male appeared. He was smaller than her and Saluce, not to mention he didn’t even look like he was an adult yet. Were these really the kind of pack mates her love wanted to use to help hunt? She was beginning to question the behemoth’s judgment and wondered what was going on. The mistress moved over to greet the male and lowered her head to show her respect. She may have been a higher rank than he was, but that was no reason not to show her members some respect. The black and white she wolf then moved back to her mate’s side. She knew there had to be at least one more showing up. Four seemed like the perfect number for taking down a large animal such as this one.
Layla was happy to see that Gideon was the last one to arrive. The she wolf seemed to be growing closer to the black male, in a friendly way of course. The mistress fought back her depressed mood for the moment and then went back to her cheerful mood. She padded over to Gideon and tried to smile. ”It’s good to see you Gideon. Are you feeling alright?” She could tell he was tired, but she couldn’t understand why. The black and white she wolf didn’t know about the pups that the male had taken into his care. She then moved her ears when she heard her mate’s comment to him. She felt her ears fold down and turned her head to him, giving him an unpleasant look. She didn’t like how her love was treating her close friend. The she wolf turned back to Gideon and tried to smile again. ”Just try to ignore him Gideon… I’m sure he doesn’t mean to be mean…”
Layla moved back to the group as Saluce ordered her to take Saul and lead the herd towards him and Gideon. Before she could get a word out, Saul was off. The mistress chased after him and cut in front of him. She stood tall over him and made sure he was stopped before they continued on. ”What are you trying to do? Scare the prey away? You have to move slowly and quietly if you want to be successful.” She showed him how to stalk until they were to one side of the herd. She asked Saul to stay here and wait for her to get around and start the attack. She snuck around to the other side and then began to charge at them. With Saul’s help, she would be able to lead a couple back to the behemoth and Gideon.
