Ravens Tale.#2

Chapter 18:

"You scent it too don't you Beta?" Claw whines
"Yes. Rose, please go get Alpha and two others, tell the rest to guard the young" I whisper.
She darts of, leaping over the leaves and landing with pin point accuracy on bare patches, avoiding the crunchy autumn  leaves. As we wait, we figure out that there's five of them, one adult male, two adult females, and a male and female pup. Rose comes back with Silver, Glow and Jasmine. With Silver by my side we March towards their camp.
"Let me do the talking, they have pups Silver" I whisper
He nods as we make a circle around them. They have fear in their eyes, yet they snarl and act strong.
"I'm Raven, beta of our pack. We have claimed our territory in the plains field. We are welcome for you to join us, only if you swear loyalty" I bark
They look among themselves, then the Alpha steps forward.
"We would love to, but we don't think its best for the pups..." He says
"Trust me, we have young of our own. Seven of them and most of us are suitable to take care of them" Silver barks, stepping forward
The male looks a bit taken back, since its not usual to have seven pups, and he probably thinks the seven pups is a whole litter.  
"Deal then, we will join your pack!" He says, a bit excited a and relaxed to have all this pressure of being alpha taken away. Alpha discusses our rules and out names as we trot back to the territory, I run ahead and play with mine and Moons pups. Then I sigh as I remember, we still have to go hunting. The others come into camp and I walk up the the new comers.
"Who here are hunters?" I ask
"Me and Rata" the slim white furred female says.
"Yea, me and Cloud" Rata, the ginger slim, fit female says. 
"Just us going, I'll leave the others to rest. Just tell me if you scent anything before attacking. Be quiet do what I say and you'll be fine" I bark
They nod, Rata goes to say bye to her young then we go off.
"So did you really have a litter of seven" Cloud asks
"My brother and his mate have two of them... Me and Silver had a litter of five together, but I also had a litter with my old mate called Spot, we had three. Mist Thistle and Rose, Mist and Thistle died from wolves at a very young age. Around that time I also adopted Grey around that time" I whisper as I sniff the air
"Whoa you really have a story don't you, I had a mate, but he... Just left one day, one day he was there, one day he just disappeared. I'll never know what happened to him..." Cloud sighs
"But we have each other" She adds
"Your sisters?" I ask
"Yea" they bark together
We stealthily creep through the long grass, soon passing their old territory, then to their old hunting grounds. A small clearing in the trees that's infested with rabbit burrows.
"Get as many as you can, OK?" I question
They nod then start pawing at the burrows, forcing them to collapse and the rabbits inside to flee. After an hour of running around and snapping necks, we walk home with three rabbits each, I would like more but this will do. We walk back to the camp and drop of our catch in the middle of the field. I'm surprised to see that my Alphas making a nest under the middle tree for the helpless young pups. The nest is great, it's make out of dethorned bendy sticks but lined and covered by soft leaves, grass blades and soon brown rabbit hide. Being around a meter wide, it fits all the squirming pups. Everyone else is making their own place to rest, from lowest rank being on the outer side to highest rank being in the inside. I start my own resting place by putting three jaw full of plucked green blades when I desire my sleeping spot to be then getting leaves and moss from the forest. Two trips to the forest and back later I have all the materials then start arranging my bed. After feeding my young, I set up my bed. From the bottom to the top there's leafs, green grass then soft moss. The second I Finnish Silver calls everyone over for prey, me and Silver share one and the rest goes to the others. I can't help but think I should have gotten more, we will try harder next time, I lick my lips then trot back to my pups, my bed is right beside theirs, so is Digs, Silvers and Moons sense her pups are there too. I lay down with my body on the bad and my head hanging over the side of the pups nest. A soft glow of sun light heats my back as my minds slowly drifting into dreams.
