There was a new feeling that swept over her as she moved through the undergrowth. It was something about stalking beside Naniko that made this a different hunt. They moved so well together every other moment, and their bodies were always electric the instant they touched that as her mind withdrew into the primal instinct of the kill the mere presence of her mate made the energy surrounding her like lightning. It was overwhelming and exhilarating all at the same second.
Cobalt eyes peered through the colored leaves, eyeing the herd as they grazed. It was safe to think that the rest would be in position. Savina would have moved toward the opposite side, and the males would push the prey, their larger size making it impossible for the deer to not turn and run. Suddenly, in mid thought the drill began. Like the loud ringing of an alarm the moment of the herd made her muscles tense, and she had to fight the urge to chase. It was like wrestling a bear, so large and impossible that there was no way to win. If she could only keep it at bay for one more second…
The sight of the black and stark males kept her still, and when they were in sight she let the monster within win the fight. It burst through; turning her limbs into fire, her senses magnified and then the chase took control. It was obvious what doe they chose, she might as well be painted with a blood red x across her flank. The shewolf sped to the deer’s side, so close that it could brush her away with it fore hoof.
They were close, so close. |
