|Illusion|M|Lead Hunter|Eastern|M: Malicia, Morning Patrol|
Illusion slowly opened his eyes to the first sign of day filtering into his den. He blinked a couple of times, trying to clear the sleep from his multi-colored eyes.
Once he was more aware, he realized that he wasn't the only one in his den. At first, it worried him that someone could sneak up on him in the night and he didn't wake up before he realized that it wasn't any random wolf, it was Malicia. He lifted his head, and began to gently lick the base of her ears. He listened for noises outside. It would tell him when he would have to leave for the patrol.
As he did so, his mind wandered back to the loner that they had saved Torrin from. He wasn't sure what he was more annoyed at. The fact that they had to save Torrin, or that there had been a loner.
What was she saying last night? He racked his brain, trying to put the words together. The conversation was all hazy, and he was having a hard time remembering what had been spoken. It was almost like a dream.
Something about carrying pups? Did I dream that? His eyes were closed, as he was still gently grooming the top of Malicia's ears when it all clicked.
He stopped, lifted his head, eyes now open and wide.
He met the females eyes, his own, he hoped asked the question that was on his mind.
Are you carrying my pups? He didn't want to speak the words out loud. What had he done?
He watched her as she spoke, letting what she said soak in, and nodded, unsure how to feel. Instead, he licked her ears one more time, his eyes flickering towards the sky.
He groaned, and gently nuzzled her.
"I've got to get up for patrol. Stay out of trouble." He stood up and shook out his long pelt, his good mood jumping out the window.
It was almost like a light switch went off as he exited the den. He sighed when he heard Killjoy's cheerful voice.
I should have just killed him when I had the chance.
His grumpy eyes landed on Torrin and Justice as he walked past his alpha.
"Morning sunshine." Illusions ears flattened. How dare he get called sunshine?
"Shut up." He growled, knowing that he was going to pay for that remark.
He stalked over to where the others were and sat down, bushy tail rapped around his paws.
"So, you get lucky last night?" Torrin asked. It annoyed him, but he kept a silent glare on his face.
At least I wasn't pinned under a lone wolf. He thought bitterly. He ignored her as she spoke to her sister, watching her with a evil tone in his eye.
He then decided to speak,
"I wasn't the one that took her out, I followed her out to bring her back to camp. Don't speak unless you know the truth." He said in an icy tone.
"What does she mean?" He looked over at Justice, unsure if to tell her or not.
"I had to save your sister from a lone wolf last night." He said, not making eye contact, but ensuring that Killjoy couldn't hear what he was saying.
He listened to Killjoys instructions before glaring at him.
Why does she get to lead? I am the lead hunter. He whinned to himself. He huffed, and sat down, waiting for the female to take the lead.
