"Ew, what is that smell?" Jerrad asks.
"Skunk", Mr. Bub responded.
"Well I'm not eating any skunks", Jerrad said while trying not to breathe.
"Eat? They are the ones preparing the food", said Mark.
Each one of us walked in and sat down around a large rock while trying not to breathe the air too much. Me, Riley, and Jerrad sat close to Mr. Bub while Asher and his goons sat across from us. Everyone else piled into the cave. I didn't think we were going to have enough room, but we did. A skunk wandered out of a hole that leads to another section of the cave. He crawled up onto the large rock and said that he hopes we enjoy the food. A group of possums then crawled out of the hole and drug a deer carcass behind them. They then laid it on the rock. Everyone looks at the carcass in disgust except for us wolves.
"Uh, it's well aged?" said Mr. Bub trying to get the others to taste it.
Everyone tried to bite off a piece. It turns out that it wasn't that bad. We all ate the deer as the possums and the skunks brought out more food. We ate muskrats, deer, elk, and bison; Mr. Bub also ate some berries, which I thought was weird. We were all peacefully eating until we heard a voice from outside the cave.
"Ey Bub, where you at!?" said the voice.
Then, a wolverine wandered into the cave. All the predators near the entrance quickly got up and went to the other side of the table.
"You guys are eating already?" said the wolverine, "I must have missed the meeting."
"Welcome, Leroy! Finally, decide to come to a meeting for once?" yelled Mr. Bub pleasantly.
"Naw, I just got those new members that you wanted"
Leroy looked at him and made a waving motion with his paw. I thought it might be more wolverines, but instead, it was a group of badgers.
"It took some talking, but I got the badgers to join the UCF", said Leroy.
"Welcome fellow carnivores; have a seat, we are just having a meal. The badgers hesitantly sat down and started eating a piece of deer. Leroy then walked over and sat next to Bub. Leroy then spotted Riley sitting next to him.
"Ey, Riley, how's it goin?"
"It's going fine", Riley replied.
"Who's Mr. serious and laugh-a-lots over there?" asked Leroy.
"Oh, that's our new Alpha, Drake, and our Chi, Jerrad", said Riley.
"Well greetings Mr. Alpha Drake"
I nod my head and do a small smile out of politeness. I look up and see Asher looking at me. He then glares at me and gets back to eating.
"Ey, grumpy-pants giving you a hard time?" asked Leroy, "I'll teach him a lesson for ya."
Leroy then tries to get up, but Mr. Bub stops him.
"Now now Leroy, don't get too involved in wolf disputes", Mr. Bub told him.
"Ey, I can do what I want. Did you know that my cousin once killed and ate a wolf? He said that it tasted a bit like coyote"
Me and Bill then slowly looked over at Leroy. He then noticed that we had heard him.
"Uh, it was my cousin; I don't think wolves or coyotes taste good, not that I've ever tried to eat either species", Leroy said quickly.
"Please don't unless it's from the Ocean's Sun clan" I whispered to him so their Alpha couldn't hear me.
