She hadn't expected that. Adelle had been climbing the trees, looking out over the land and pretending to be scouting far off enemies. Several battles had risen and fallen that day, Adelle working as the general that lead them to victory. The cries of her pack rose around her as they had chased off the evil wolves that had tried to break through their borders, Adelle standing high in the tree. With the sun setting down, the black and gold pup was nearly invisible against the tree, a black shadow from below and golden light from above. Very difficult to see in the twilight.
That didn't mean she had thought someone else would climb into her tree. Adelle had stared with surprise as a new pack member climbed into the lower branches of the tree. She was smaller than Adelle, which wasn't too difficult as the pup was quickly growing into one of the giants in the pack. Adelle watched the female settle in comfortably, finding herself treed above her. Hesitantly the adventurous pup clambered back down, her large frame making plenty of noise with the cracking branches. Only practice would help her grow more quiet. Pausing just above the coyote Adelle stared, wondering what she was doing.
