The jungle is quiet, too any normal human it would sound silent but I am not normal. Some consider me more than human, some less than, and to very few people I am equal to a human. Those few people I hold in higher regard.
Suddenly, a pig runs past, squealing with fright.
My pack is seconds behind it, chasing it with a ferocious lust. I run behind them for their benefit, for the pack bond, but I know what happens next.
The pig gets through the gate, and it closes. My pack growls angrily and begin claw tapping impatiently.
"HOLD!" We halt and all our eyes go up to look at our Alpha, Owen Grady. He's holding a clenched arm up for us to watch and the other hand clicks a clicker.
"When you gonna let us eat it?" I whine and Owen smirks at me. He doesn't reply, he has to hold the focus of my sisters.
"Hey!" Our eyes stay on his clenched fist. "Okay!" He presses the clicker but Blue's attention sways. "Eyes on me! Blue?" She doesn't respond. "Blue!" He clicks and she finally looks up. "Watch it," he warns. Charlie snaps her jaw at him and he scowls.
"Charlie. Hey! Don't give me that shit!" Owen yells naming a Delta growl. "Delta! Lock it up!" She half nods and closes her jaw. "Good! And we're moving."
Owen slowly sidesteps to where a basket hangs from a railing.
"HOLD!"
We all still for a long moment and Owen smiles.
"That's good. That is damn good, he praises and presses the clicker. "Very good! See, Charlie, that's what you get!" He throws a rat to Charlie, who promptly snatches it from the air. "Echo, there you go!" He throws one to Echo who swallows it whole. "Delta!"
His eyes serious and he gazes at Blue. She's his baby girl more than I am.
"Blue?" Blue meets his gaze and he holds up a larger rat meaningfully at her. "This one's for you." He tosses it and she leaps to catch it in her maw.
"Alpha," I remind and Owen grins at me.
"Don't worry Dina I didn't forget about you," he assures and pulls a piece of partially cooked hamburger from a separate bucket. Owen drops it down and I capture it in my scaled fingers before scarfing it down in seconds. I'm only partially human.
"HOLD!" He shouts and our gazes return to him. "Eyes up!" Be raised his fist and we follow it with our eyes obediently. A few seconds pass before he unclenches his fist and says the keyword: "Go."
My raptor pack scatters in all directions but I remain under the catwalk.
On the platform above, a few employees shake Owen's hand and cheers break out.
