Hunting

Chapter Seven

Skylar's P.O.V.

Hunting is a lot like a sport. You want to try to win, catch something, as many times as you can. If you don't you get put out on the bench, back at the house, until you learn to succeed. You have to use your ears because your eyes are terrible in the night. You may think you see a deer or something but your wrong, its usually one of your pack mates or just some small animal running from  you.

While hunting the alpha male stays behind while the alpha female goes ahead and leads the pack into the forest where all the animals are. They say that the alpha female usually has the most sensitive nose and can smell a dead carcass in three hundred miles. But thats just a story.

To be honest, I love to hunt. I don't like hunting with a group, one person can cost the whole group dinner for almost a week. We try not to hunt very often because we are afraid to get caught by the hunters or even campers near by. We try to do our best and stay away from the river that blocks us off from the humans and our territory.

After today I really just wanted to go out hunting by myself but the rules are that you can't go out hunting without your mate. So everyone is out tonight. 

When we change into our wolf form our bones crack and bend to our ancestors of the wolves. We are gorgeous animals and love our being. I just wish we could stay wolves forever and not have to change back. While we are wolves we can hear eachother's thoughts in our minds. The privacy is totally blocked out there. We can also control who's thoughts we read, I just chose not to listen to Caleb.

We all set? I hear Caleb think. There are multiple yes's and I don't say anything already hearing something deep in the woods. The rest of the pack is behind me, I feel Bella just a few feet away and Sam a couple yards.

I listen closer and find little hoove prints breaking sticks. Its just a baby dear, I wonder where her mother is. Or even better, her father.

I hear more hove prints and try to concentrate but in the back of my head I hear Caleb asking repeatedly What do you hear? Where's your position? Skylar, answer me! I try to ignore him, I concentrate on the smell of the huge buck, this is it. I'll get him and then we all can have a good night.

I completely block every one out, I only hear the hove prints of the buck and a smile plays on my face. He's only a couple hundred feet away from me, I'll catch him before he jumps over the river. I trot in closer being careful not to pounce on any sticks. I hear a presence of someone else, but I"m not sure who because all my thoughts are on this buck.

I feel his heart beat fast, he knows I'm coming for him. I smile when I see his antlers glow in the moonlight. I've got him. I tell the pack and before they can answer I pounce on the buck and leave my nails and teeth in his jugular killing him fast so there is no suffering.

After a few minutes I clean myself off with my tongue and wait for the others. They come charging in and I read Bella's, Sam's, and the rest of their thoughts. Holy shit! Where did that come from? Sam asks enthused. Why didn't you wait for us? Dad asks. You did great, Sky. Jade's voice excites me. I told you to wait, we could have taken it down together. Caleb's voice shuts down my mood.

What does it matter? I got him now we can eat. I sneer. You don't always have to do things by your self, Skylar. Thats why you have me. I ignore him once again. I'm gong back to the house, okay? I ask Dad wanting to just rip Caleb's head off right now.

Your not hungry? Dad asks already watching Bella and Jade digging in. No, I just want to lay down. I tel him already starting to stalk off. 

After a few seconds of walking by myself I feel a presence of good ol' Caleb. What do you want? I ask, I didn't want you to walk by yourself. He says.

I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, did you see that buck? I ask growing yet again excited. Yeah, it was nice. Your stronger than I thought you were. He says sweetly. You don't know anything about me. I scoot past him rubbing my tale in his nose.

I bet he will get a kick out of that.

Hey! He says and pounces on me catching me off guard. I lay on my back and start to change back in my human form just as he does. We are both naked, him on top of me and I feel the growing sensation of wanting him. Wanting someone to hold me. Then Jake runs through my mind. 

I run my eyes on his body and I quiver.

"Sorry." He mutters and I blush moving around from under neath of him sprinting back to the house.

A little short! But Hey! Thanks everyone for reading!(:
