Wolves

^Original idea. The title was inspired by the song by Aurora linked above^

*Mark was abandoned in the forest by his parents at a young age. He was taken in and raised by talking wolves (Idfk ok) and has had to contact with the outside world until a group of people come into his forest*

——————Flashback Mark age 4——————

Mark was lying down on some leaves, with his head on one of the wolves bodies and sleeping soundly until he heard a crash outside the den which woke him and the wolf he was lying on. "Mark stay here." The wolf now identified as his so called 'brother' Tom said quietly but assertively.

"B-but I wanna come with you." Mark whispered and held onto Tom's coat.

"I said no." He said a little louder which made Mark whimper and let go. Mark watched him leave and sneakily followed when he was almost out of sight.

Mark crawled on his hands and knees like he had been taught to by his 'family'. They had taught him how to walk and talk but for safety and cover from other people, mostly hunters, or prey who came looking for food. Tom stopped and sniffed around, obviously looking for the source of the noise that woke them up. Mark stayed hidden behind trees that surrounded the den.

Another rustle was sounded right after Tom spoke, which sent them both on edge. Mark watched as Tom got into a pouncing position to attack whatever or whoever was there. "Fucking come out!" Tom yelled and Mark flinched, he had never yelled like that before.

After a while of waiting there was a rustle and something launched out at Tom. He gasped, quite audibly but thankfully no one heard. He watched as the two wrestled, kicked and bit each other. "C'mon Tom. You can do it." He quietly cheered on his 'brother' as they fought.

He was brought to silence when Tom missed placed a paw and fell on his back allowing the other wolf to jump on top of him and bite his neck, but not before Mark pushed him off and started screaming hoping to wake up the others, which thankfully worked nad they all came out and saw Tom.

They all crowded around Tom trying to help, as Mark just lay down beside Tom and snuggled into his coat, wishing this all to be over. The pack made make shift bandages and put them on Tom then Mark fell asleep.

—————————Present—————————

Mark and his pack were hunting for more food to cook. He has been told that he was now 28, he didn't bother keeping track after a while, and he looked into pond water to see what he looked like. He has raven hair, he decided call a floof, coco brown eyes and a beard.

After a while of hunting they had caught a couple birds, but they all stopped suddenly, leaving Mark confused because he wasn't paying attention, which he would be scolded for later. He looked in the direction they were looking in and saw a deer. They all got in position with the elders in front and the alpha at the back. (This is actually how they hunt. My dad is a smart man) Mark got into a position nearer Tom so he could watch his 'parents' and the pups to make sure nothing happens to them.

——————————Mark——————————

As they neared the deer, something rustled in the trees, startling the deer and making it run. "Shit." Me and Tom whispered and guided the group back to cover, confused as to what startled the deer. It wasn't windy enough to cause a rustle like that and Mark moved forward to protect the pups and elders, while Tom kept his eyes behind us. Other voices were heard throughout the trees and we all growled.

I crawled forward with the others in tow and peered through the trees to see what the talking was about. "I heard that there was talking wolves here. Isn't that crazy?!" I heard a male call out very loudly.
