Wolves of dawn book 1 shadows

Chapter five for bec_the_box

Athena was in the middle of nowhere. Everything seemed cruel. She was skittish from all the terror that was bubbling inside. Suddenly she caught the faint smell of a freshly killed rabbit. Her icy blue eyes lit up like the night sky as she ran, ran like she was running to the moon. Finnaly she stopped, her paw pad still, terror slowly crawling up her spine. It was a lone wolf. Lone wolves were feared by all pack wolves, they never meant anything good. They had all betrayed or left their packs unless their pack died out. Their survival skills were amazing, but bad for others. This wolf had a scar running down its front right leg. It had one white sock. One of his eyes were an orange, while the other was a discoloured yellow. He grunted when he walked by. She saw him walk into a hole in the ground and Athena secretly followed, trying to stay hidden. His ear twitched as he dropped the rabbit onto the floor. "Wolf" he murmured as he made eye contact with Athena. she yelped as he did so and started quickly backing up. He lunged at her then started yelling. "Why are you here!?" He howled "I-I just wanted a pack!" She blurted "well in that case" he said backing off "I have been wanting a pack for a little bit now" he said. "Oh, my name is blurry, people call me that cause well I don't know my name, and neither do they" he continued. He tense muscles slowly relaxed as he sat down quietly and began telling her about his past life. "And that's it" he finished. "Well that's nice" she said he wasn't really a loner, he just got lost while hunting with his pack. "Wait, what was your pack called? And did you have a past name?" She asked. "I think so, my name was a-a do something, i honestly forget and my pack was something like the alps pack" he said confusingly. "Alpha pack by any chance" she asked " and was your name adornkig?" She added "THAT IT!! ARE YOU FROM THAT PACK!?!?" He howled happily. "Yes but" she said, crying on the inside. "But what?" He asked worriedly. "We, well, we're attacked by a new rival pack, scout all ran away and the warriors and hunter are all wounded, not badly though" she said. "Oh " he replied calmly looking down at his paws. She thought that she just depressed him greatly. "It's ok" she said nudging him with her paw. "But I never got to say goodbye to my pack" he said whining. "Just relax, my friends, my family, everything I know is gone to, but we need to move on" she said, tugging at his leg.
