Chapter 3
That day, Rose built a small fire and turned to wolf form to hunt. She came back later with a fish. She knew now that it wouldn't be safe to eat it raw like she had used to.
She shifted to human form to clean, gut, and cook the fish. Before, it hadn't been an issue, because she could just eat everything. Not anymore.
After the gory process, she set it on a skewer and put it over the fire to cook. While it was cooking, she gathered more moss and feathers and added them to her cot. She sewed two large mats together, leaving one side open, with ivy and bracken. She stuffed the inside with feathers and sewed it up, leaving her with a thick pad of moss and feathers.
She ate the cooked fish, keeping an eye out for anyone who might be coming. You could never tell with some wolves.
She hadn't found her mate yet, and hadn't planned on finding one. She had been born an only child in the middle of nowhere, and her parents had died young. She had been found in her first winter, in a hollow tree starving and freezing to death. Thomas, the leader then, had found her, three moon-cycles old, and had taken her into ThunderPack. She had enjoyed the life there, until Gabriel, Thomas's only son, had murdered his father and taken control of ThunderPack. He had been killing people for being too weak, too old, or unable to fight. He even had the abilityto take away shifting powers.
Then came the day Rose was banished. She had been hunting with Ivy and Hayley when they had decided to split up. They were about to return to camp when a few Rogues attacked them. Ivy had raced to camp to get help. Rose had fought off the stronger of the two, but Hayley, who had only been one circle-season old, had been killed by the weaker one, who just happened to look like Rose. Gabe had come, finding out about the incident, and banishing Rose for murder, while taking away her powers.
And now here she was, far away from the packs. The nearest pack was ShadowPack, but even ShadowPack was nearly a half moon-cycle away from her.
She settled down for the night, casting her senses once more, before falling asleep on her cot.
