They would all gain speed as they ran, the wind would whip past each of them taunting them into an even greater pace. Excitement burst through her skin as Nani let her lead, and there was a heavy sense of pride and pressure as she felt the others fall into place behind her. She wasn’t a born leader, so the position felt forced and slightly uncomfortable. Putting the feeling aside she ran passed it, growing slightly more confident at every step.
Her nose caught the scent she sought on the quiet but present wind. It teased her taste buds, and motivated her further. The trees passed them, and they ran as a single unit, their strides pressing them deeper into their territory. The inches of woodlands that they protected and loved would soon deliver its most valuable asset it could provide the wolf pack.
The scent became so strong that it almost choked her, making her slow to a trot and then a brisk walk. They lay beyond a thick settlement of trees that lined the ring of tall grasses. It was a perfect setting, hiding the predators while the prey graze happily up wind with minds preoccupied with the food before them. Anu peered through the trees, decided quickly which side she would position herself on to flank the deer. Turning to the right she parted from the main group, to begin the circling.
