Stratus (mentions Luna, Raven and Harmony)

"Alpha!", Stratus gasped, surprised to see Luna here. He hastily lowered his head down out of respect to her.
"I have disobeyed Hondo, whom we have chosen to be our group leader", he dutifully replied, his ears now pressed into his head, "I chased after the loner alone and recklessly, resulting in me falling into their carefully crafted trap".
Stratus felt ashamed being stuck in this trap before his alpha. She already has enough on her plate, and he has just burdened her with more responsibilities of an Alpha.

Harmony (mentions Luna, Stratus, Shadow and Raven)

"Luna", Harmony greeted Luna, also bowing her head to her alpha.
After Stratus finished telling what happened to Luna, she started speaking.
"It seems like the loner intended to catch one of us. Their scent is fresh on this trap, and they left a deliberate trail that led Stratus to this place. Not just that: they constructed a pile of leaves that mimicked a hidden contraption. Although, what confuses me is: how did the loner get their paws on this trap?"
She frowned as she pondered over this for a moment, then shook her head slightly. They will deal with that later: Stratus needs to be freed.
"We need two or more strong wolves to pull apart these 'jaws'", she explained to Luna, nodding towards the trap, "Or at least, that's how I've understood. Perhaps you could think of something better, Luna".
She felt how the wind changed direction, and a waft of smell hit her nose. She straightened up, sniffing at the air. What's this? The loner? She sniffed more intently. No, worse: a loner. This smell was different from the one on the trap.
"Luna, there is another loner, do you smell that?", she said, bewildered.
She felt her heart hammer. She doesn't remember smelling two loners in the same area. Could that be just be a pair of mated wolves? Or worse: an invasion?, Harmony thought, now deeply troubled. Maybe these traps have been set everywhere? There could be more casualties!!!!!!

Oak (mentions Aush, Lillith and Sky)

"I agree with you on that Sky", Oak nodded, trying to suppress his tail from wagging, "Now! You've heard her! Let's get a move on: we have a pack to feed".
He trotted in the opposite direction to which the second hunting group went to.
He looked back at his packmates, his mind buzzing already with plans. Perhaps they should be walking in a 'V' formation, to catch more smells? Maybe they should just follow the first prey scent the detected? Or should they continue their hunt patrol until they detect a deer? Aaaah, a young moose now sounds half possible to him!
But he must slow down, one step at a time...
"I was thinking of walking in a 'V' formation, so we could catch more smells, what do you all think?", he asked. He remembered how their previous beta used to consider their packmate's opinions.
