she felt her strength returning she knew she would live, for how long she wasn't sure but she would go on to raise the next generation of pups.

Cay its working! Thank you thank you! i lick him and stand up, for the first time in years able to stand without pain. i lick my pup and me and cay go on a hunt

"I thought it would work." I sigh and lick her back following her on a hunt and bringing Destiny with." How are you feeling? Anything different?" I ask her following in her tracks and keeping an eye on Destiny

i feel good... able to walk, trot... i don't know if i am able to run... but... look!

there was a elk herd and it had some calfs. Destiny, stay here it's dangerous but watch.

look there's one laying down! cay what do you think?

I look at him a fire of excitement in my eyes that he haden't seen in a long time

"Well do you wanna try to catch it?" I ask her and smile at the fire in her eyes. I nuzzle her again and Destiny stays put

yeah lets do this!

I crouch down and creep forward, cay gives a bark and the herd scattered

GO! I leap on the one struggiling to get up and it kicked me in the leg hard. I let out a growl and leap on it again. Suddenly the elk gave a little cry and the next thing we knew the ground was soaked red with blood and the elk was dead

we did it! I say panting, destiny looked at me and i gave a nod. she comes bounding down the hill. lets eat quickly and then we will head home. my leg hurt but i hid it well

we get home and i lay down on a rock warmed by the sun, I am half asleep when i feel cay shaking me gently

"Hey you okay? I can see the wound." I say gently and press my paw to the wound and heal it." I took the elk back for us to eat over time." I say and eat a piece of meat

im fine... tired but fine, thanks

"I love you. I trust your gonna help yourself if you need to." I whisper and rip off a chunk for you and give the rest to Destiny

i gave him a lick of thanks and the next time i woke it was night, cay was asleep next to destiny, the moon was full and i raise my head fighting the urge to howl.

I watched the moon for a while deep in thought, cay stepped on a stick and I jumped.

Oh... it's just you... what are you doing up?

"Looking for something." I whisper to her and walk off going to the forest and finding a herb to eat. I munch on it and walk back to camp falling asleep instantly
