The male stalked through the snow, the drifts made it difficult for some but his large paws and long legs helped the youth move with a relative ease. He had been tracking the four little paw prints for some time, using every bit of his focus to keep up with the moving prey. The boy was not slow, and he used his mind to find the quarry and his nose to follow it. Masked eyes look ahead, seeing the prints clearly in the white fresh snow. His tail wagged, excited that for once he seemed on top of the catch rather then so very behind and lost in his hopes of finding a meal and thus pulling just a little bit of his weight in his new house hold.
There was a line of brush ahead, and the boy grew a bit nervous with his excitement. So much so that his stomach began to flip and flop with the idea of catching a meal. He needed to do this, a pressure only he had set on himself. He needed to prove to himself that he could be just as self-sufficient as any other wolf, and that he could provide for the others he lived with. The male closed the distance, the scent of the rabbit getting stronger and thus his excitement building. Alder paused, looking, listening, his tail waving behind him. Then, with the sight of a moving blur the big wolf lumbered through the brush. He crashed through the leafless branches, closing his eyes against the pointed twigs and moving blindly through them in the hopes that he would stumble upon the rabbit that was now miles away.
Alder leaned against the branch of the bush, opening his blue eyes slowly and then looking around to see that he was without his prey and now tangled in the shrubbery.
