The hunts and the new leader

Chapter 5: 

Harriet POV

I had been in the pack for a week now and learning more and more about the wolf ways with every passing day. One of the things that intrigued me the most was the idea of hunting as a pack.

I had been asking Alpha Wade about it since our closeness, and he had finally agreed to take me on my first hunt.

He said, "We would be hunting some number of hunters that had been spotted a few miles away from the pack's territory."

I was excited but also nervous. I had never hunted before, let alone as a wolf. I knew that I had to trust my instincts and work with the pack if we were going to be successful.

I replied, "Okay, Thanks Alpha Wade for this opportunity."

The night of the hunt arrived, and the pack gathered together. Alpha Wade gave a rallying howl, and we all set off in the direction of the hunters.

With each step, I could feel my senses heighten. I could smell the hunter's scent in the distance and hear their hooves thudding on the ground. I could sense the excitement and anticipation in the pack.

As we approached the hunters, Alpha Wade signalled for us to start the hunt. The pack broke off into different groups, surrounding the hunters and slowly closing in on them.

I watched in amazement as the pack worked together, each wolf playing its part in the hunt. Some chased the hunter towards the centre, while others cut off their escape routes. Alpha Wade directed the pack from the sidelines, barking out orders and driving the hunter towards the centre.

After several minutes of intense running and manoeuvring, the pack finally managed to take down one of the hunters. I felt a surge of triumph and adrenaline rush through me as she watched the pack feast on their hard-earned prize.

As I lay down with the others to eat, I felt a deep sense of belonging. For the first time since becoming a wolf, I truly felt like part of the pack. The hunt had brought us closer together, and I knew that I would always remember my first experience as a wolf pack member.

As the days went by, I continued to prove myself as a valuable member of the pack. I became a skilled hunter and my bond with the other wolves grew stronger.

One afternoon, as I was out on a solo hunt, I stumbled upon a group of hunters in the forest. They were armed with guns and their intentions were clear - they were there to poach the wolves.

I knew I had to act fast. I quickly made my way back to the pack to warn them of the danger. Alpha Wade, called for an emergency pack meeting to discuss the situation.

Alpha Wade said" We have some hunters around our territory and we need to act fast"

After much deliberation, we came up with a plan to defend our territory. I was tasked with leading a group of wolves to distract the hunters, while the rest of the pack would circle and attack them from the rear.

The plan worked perfectly. As my group and I appeared, the hunters were taken aback and turned their attention towards them. This gave the rest of the pack the time they needed to surround the hunters and attack.

It was a fierce battle, but the pack emerged victorious. The hunters were driven from our territory and were unlikely to attempt the same again.

As we made our way back to our den, Wade called out to me and praised me for my bravery. From that day forward, I was seen as a respected member of the pack and my loyalty to them was unwavering.

The Election day

Days turned into weeks and soon, it was time for the pack to choose a new leader. I had grown to love my new family, but I knew that the time had come for me to fulfill my duty as the alpha female.

The competition was fierce, but I was determined to claim the position. I had spent weeks honing my skills and building strong bonds with the members of the pack. I had proven myself in combat and had shown my leadership abilities.

As the pack gathered, I stepped forward and addressed them all. I spoke of my love for the pack and my desire to lead them to greatness. I promised to work hard and put the needs of the pack before myself.

One by one, the members of the pack stepped forward to offer their support for me. Some had been skeptical at first, but they had come to respect my leadership and determination. When the final vote was counted, I emerged as the clear winner.

As the new leader of the pack, I felt a great sense of pride and responsibility. I knew that the future of the pack rested on my shoulders and that I had a lot of work to do. But with the support of my fellow wolves and their love, I was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead.

Under my new leadership, the pack had become more organized and efficient. The wolves under my command worked together like never before, and their hunts were becoming more successful.

One day, I led the pack on a hunt for a herd of elk that had been spotted on the other side of the valley. The wolves knew that this was a particularly large herd, and it would require careful planning and teamwork to take down one of the massive animals.

The pack split into groups, each with a specific role to play in the hunt. Some wolves were tasked with driving the elk towards the waiting hunters, while others circled around to cut off any escape routes. My strongest wolf group was positioned closest to the herd, ready to take down one of the massive elk with a coordinated attack.

The hunt was intense and fast-paced, with the wolves moving in perfect unison to trap the elk and bring it down. In the end, the pack emerged victorious, with the massive beast lying at their feet.

The wolves wasted no time in devouring their hard-earned prize, each animal taking their share of the meat and fur. As they ate, I watched over them with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that under my leadership, the pack had become a true force to be reckoned with in the wild.
