Morning Rounds [Shri]

[Deleted]

So his plan had not gone through, Bjorn hadn't liked it. Vern had never pushed him to figure out why he didn't want to start a pack where they were born. Truth is he didn't want to now. He had settled into this pack just perfectly for now and was loving his position. He was working constantly both day and night because he was the only one with the position and he wanted to be sure he was doing the best he could. He had to admit he was rather worn out, only sleeping the bare minimum of what his body needed. He was determined to work his butt off and only kick back when more wolves joined the guard position and that more wolves would be patrolling then just him. He hadn't had much time to spend with Bjorn unless he would join him on his patrol. Vern hadn't minded much, his work gave him time to think and time to explore the pack lands. This place was a good place to call home. The territory was beautiful and has lots of prey, shelter, and water. Shri, their alpha, had made the right decision when she picked this place.

Long strides drove the large male forward, along the borders of the pack. His eyes and his ears were alert, searching for any sign of life. He was mostly on the lookout for trespassers, or anything that could be a threat to the pack, making sure the marks of the borders were strong enough, and also just making sure things were in place. It was his job and he was proud to do it. In fact the male loved doing it. He would hopefully be the first to find new potential members, he got to see were about the prey entered the territory, and even get some excitement if trouble would arise. So far he hadn't seen much of anything for the morning, but he had just started his rounds.

There were alphas out there who simply relied on their pack members to deal with the day to day business of the pack, only "helping out" when it was something they believed the alpha and the alpha alone should be doing. But Shri had spent much of her life as a loner and she could only be truly happy if she took part in normal pack life as well. If felt far too lazy to do anything otherwise, which is how she found herself making the rounds along her borders in the early morning light. The hills were quite beautiful in the dawn and more than once she found herself pausing to admire them before moving on once more. There had been little excitement since she claimed the hills in the spring, save for the odd lone wolf wandering past her borders, but Shri wouldn't complain. At least this gave her pack a chance to grow strong before having to deal with any problems.

As the sun was covered by a small cloud, Shri took the chance to study her surroundings without the glare of sunlight in her eyes. Movement caught her attention and she turned to see another wolf intently loping across the land. Inverno. She'd caught his scent some time ago, but this was the first she'd laid eyes on him this morning. The wolf had already proven himself to be a hard worker since his acceptance into the pack and Shri was grateful for his watchful eyes on the border. Tilting her head back, she howled a brief greeting before trotting toward him. Yes, he was a hard worker, but he was also just an all around decent wolf and one Shri enjoyed talking with.
