The deer came quickly. A thunder of hooves accompanied by the barks and snarls of wolves was an easy indication of what was to come. Jaden lay in wait, perfectly content in the spot he had chosen to take near the outskirts of the clearing. Deer after deer entered the forest, but none leapt within range of Jaden. From where he was, he watched as Temo took down one. Wretch must have been taken by the hunt for she didn’t stick to the plan requested by Jaden. Instead, she bounded into the herd and managed to wound one or two deer but not nab one for herself. Jaden scoffed to himself. What else was there to expect from a coyote? So now he would be left to kill one himself. Easy enough.

A victim appeared suddenly from the clearing. It bounded crazily into tree cover and watched horridly as Temo choked the life from one of it’s herd mates. It didn’t notice the large Alaskan sitting in the brush. When she felt the presence of his large form it was too late. Jaden leapt forward and slammed into the doe with a jarring impact, sinking his large teeth into the deer’s tender neck. The force of his pounce cast them both into the flora as the doe helplessly kicked at the brute. Her flailing kept Jaden struggling to get a foot hold for a few seconds as blood welled in his muzzle. The crimson was irresistible! With its warm persuasion, the Shishen found a foot hold and violently shook his jaws back and forth. The doe fell silent as its neck was broken and Jaden held on until he was sure the animal’s life had fled.

With only a short break to catch his breath, he then pulled the dead doe toward where Temo had taken down his. The dragging was difficult and Jaden ended up settling for near Temo than next to him and sat above his kill, waiting for his pack mates to dig in.

Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
