Cole's ear flicked and his tail twitched, and he opened his eye just a sliver as he heard a small noise, muffled by distance. He rose to his feet once again and sniffed the air, catching wind of familiar scents - wolves he knew, and the spilled blood of a kill. "The alphas," he mumbled quietly to himself, "So that's where they ran off to. Hm."Echo and Splash finished eating the last scraps of the kill.
Splash looked at Echo, "You think we should head back now?"
"Yeah, I guess so," she said, glancing at where Fox was laying down, "I wonder where the rest of the pack is."
He darted past the border, padding swiftly through the woods to look for them, scruff billowing up and his tail streaming behind him.
