Wild Wolves

Chapter 1: The Gathering

I stand still. As still as possible, next to my brothers and sisters. We all stand in a in a straight line, standing on our puppy paws. Our mother, Silverstar, paces nervously in front of us, no speaking. I don't blame her. She opens her mouth, words begin to flow out in a nervous, worried voice " Pups" she begins to speak. " Please listen carefully"  she looks each one of us in the eyes. " It comes a time when a litter like you all, begin to grow up. This means some of you will be able to join this very pack. Only if Alpha Shadow accepts you...... And for you others.......that.....don't.....make it" She begins to whine. " W-What will happen Mama?" My brother, Coal, asks worried. " You will be killed by Alpha!!!!" She gives a loud growl, trying to stay as calm as possible, since she knows most of her pups won't make it sadly. " You shall please the Alpha to get a better chance of surviving" She scans us all. " When you walk out of this den, you will dip your heads in respect as you greet him " She looks out of the den as she hears another pup Whinning. We all look out the den as well. Alpha gives off a loud howl, ready for the next litter. " It must be us" I say to Coal. He nods " Yeah" Our mother looks outside as Alpha calls for our mother " Silverstar!" She leads us all out in a long line, then steps to the side. We look up at him, then dip our heads. He nods back. He scans  us all for defaults and weaknesses. I try hiding my brother's  deep, fresh open wound that our father did to him before he was killed. " You yes you"  Alpha points to one of my sisters with his muzzle. She walks up to him. He scans her body carefully. He spots her bones showing from not eating. "Arrrhhhhh....... We have a little weak one here I see" He smirks. I look at my mother, she trembles with fear as Alpha picks her up in his jaws. I can't stand to look what is going to happen next so I turn my head.

All I see when I turn my head back around is that her lifeless body is lying on the ground. Her heart no longer beating. My mother cringes and begins to cry. 1 by 1, pups step up. Some pups don't survive and others do. " Lucky last.... You" he points his muzzle to me and gives a  slight smile. As I step closer to him, I turn my head around and look at my mother she mouths to me " Good luck my beautiful little girl". My eyes fill with tears. I reach alpha. He scans my body carefully. Finally, he was finished and took a deep breath in. " Welcome, you will be joining the pack..." He raises his head and I smile " Thank you Alpha" I smile. I can her my mother sigh with relief. " I shall name you now....... Lilac!" He howls.
