their return, and she informed them that the pack had made a kill a short distance away and they were waiting for the three of them to join in.

When they arrived at the side of the fallen caribou, Faelan stepped aside saying simply, "You first, Alpha."

When Aleu hesitated, glancing over at Hinto quickly, Evvie shoved her way past and opened her jaws to take a bite of the tender flesh.  Instinctively, Aleu reacted with a snarl and her hackles, tail, and ears raised.  She bared her fangs that Evvie, who immediately shrank and curled her tail beneath herself.

It was magic.  Just like that the pack stopped and watched them, suspended for what seemed like an age.  But then, Aleu relaxed and furrowed her brow in confusion and the spell was broken.  Evvie's nose wrinkled and she growled angrily, but stalked away without another glance at the Alpha female.  Even Hinto's eyes had widened for a moment, but then he scoffed and followed Evvie away from the circle.  Aleu then ate until she'd had her fill, followed by the rest of the wolves present.  Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Faelan and Nessa smirk appreciatively and both Brava and Amity nod at her.
