The sun was harsh as it poked through the cave entrance, the rays hitting Artemis's pearly white fur and blinding her line of sight. Growling at the suns morning attitude, she found the strength to stand on her paws, her claws digging into the stone floor. Around her lay the sleeping bodies of her siblings and her mother, seeing as her father wasn't near, he must be out hunting. The young teen moved out of the alphas den and started for the cave's entrance, her tail swaying behind her, her ears perked curiously. Seemed only she was awake, but those who were must be out hunting with her father. Like him she held his pure white pelt and black tipped ears. Her eyes, however, were her mothers shade of light green. Everyone amongst the pack thought she was beyond beautiful and said she'd make a male lucky one day, but now that was the least of Artemis' worries. The scent of the patrol hit her nose before she saw them, her eyes looking through the falling water over the cave. Her father lead the patrol but his face showed anger and his stance defeated. Wonderful, get ready for an outburst, Artemis thought to herself. Moving out of the way she bolted to the side of the cave watching them enter, no food at paw. The snarls of the others only showed the defeat that must be running through their chests from the hunt. Lowering herself to the ground she pinned her ears back against her cranium, a small whimper leaving her.
"Ashanti!!!" The sound of a deep voice boomed and echoed amongst the cave, her father was calling out to his mate. A cream colored shewolf left the alphas den and leapt before alpha's peak her eyes focused on the male beneath her. Alpha's peak was a large rock in the center of the cave. Only the alphas could stand upon it.
"Yes, Monty?" Her voice was steady and calm against her mates anger. The strength her mother held within always amazed her, the rage that burned within her father always scared the pack.
"They've done it once more! Those drooling dogs have killed in our territory!" He snarled as he used his back legs to make a leap for the alpha's peak. Looking down at the pack, he lifted his head and barked a harsh command. "This is the last time! Be prepared, we attack at dawn!"
