Hadley still felt incredibly guilty over the fact that he had been eating food from the storage and not replacing it. His hunting skills might be rusty, but that didn't mean he had to give up trying altogether. He had been told it was expected for him to replace what he ate, so following those instructions Hadley had set out for the woods. After making sure the horses were settled, as Wayne had asked him to help out, Hadley set out further into territory he hadn't been in before. He found a likely place for prey to wander through (at least in his mind) and settled in for a wait.

The sun began to rise in the sky, and Hadley remained where he was, perfectly still. The weak winter sun stroked his back, sending Hadley into a partial lull. Just as he was beginning to forget the reason why he was out there a tiny deer entered the clearing. Alerted Hadley straightened up. There was the meal he was supposed to bring in. The gentleness of it's movements, the shy way it moved, it all made him hesitant to hurt it. It was much better for him to just watch it. Only the faintest stirrings in his stomach reminded him of what purpose it was supposed to be for.

The alpha was aware of Sebastian’s kindness towards a previous slave named Hadley. Anann had told him about the brown hued male who apparently looked as though he could hold his own but was quite shy and easily spooked. There was concern among the leadership that the slave would not be able to adjust to pack life after spending so much time being harmed and serving. Although pack members were expected to follow orders Jazper took pride in the unique individuals and treasured their opinions. A pack was nothing if a leader would not listen to his members, as the members were the ones who held skills that could make or break the prosperity of a pack.

The Knight wandered around the territory at a lazy pace. There was still snow on the ground but the air was fairly warm making for a nice day. He had considered tracking a young female moose that had made her way into Casa territory a few days prior but instead had found himself tracking something very different. The scent was only familiar to the alpha because Hadley had been staying with Sebastian and Jazper had picked up the unknown scent and inquired upon it. His nose wiggled, sniffing as he moved his large body in the direction of the slave. After some time the scent became very strong, signaling that he must be close. Golden eyes shifted and his ears turned in every which direction searching for any sound.

At last he spotted the ex-slave. He was exactly how Anann had described him. The male looked able bodied and held a good amount of muscle. He could easily put up quite the fight as a warrior if he would be trained. Moving quietly the leader took note of the deer Hadley was watching, quite the small but it would feed a couple of mouths. It was odd that the brown and beige wolf did not rush forward; it was a clear target all alone. Clearing his throat quietly Jazper smiled apologetic for disturbing him mid hunt but perhaps he could help the shy wolf before him.

The noise of a throat being cleared had Hadley partly jumping up. Luckily he'd chosen a place that had fair cover, or the deer would have set off running. Wide eyed he looked over to see a humongous black wolf. Afraid that the killer he'd met a few days ago was back Hadley twisted his head, ready to howl and inform the pack that they had been invaded. Luckily his nose caught up before his voice did, letting him know that it wasn't the black beast he'd seen before. Calming down slightly he glanced over at the stranger, wondering who it was. He carried the scent of the pack very strongly, but even Hadley held that.

Nervously he crouched submissively, eyes kept on the ground. His ears flattened with his tail tucked up, though not so high it showed pure fear. Hadley was before a master, and tried to show the respect needed for such. His eyes flickered up, noticing the soft smile. There was no promise of violence behind it, letting the tension roll off his shoulders. The large hybrid glanced back at the tiny deer that was feeding, and realized that the wolf was probably waiting for him to bring the deer down. Carefully Hadley scanned it, trying to remember how such kills were done. Shifting around he positioned himself in a crouch. Pushing himself out Hadley reached to grab the deer. For a startled moment it seemed Hadley would succeed, but his calculation had been off, and the deer bounded off untouched. Afraid he'd be punished for letting the meal escape Hadley's tail tucked up again. He didn't move from the submissive pose, not knowing what to do.
