The Pack

Prologue

A dark gray she-wolf nudges the human pup. "What is that you have there, my mate" The she-wolf looks up at the alpha male, her mate. "I think that it may be a human pup. May I keep it? I have plenty of milk. I could nurse it. Humans age slower then we do, but when it's grown, it would mean that we would have another hunter. A strong hunter." The silver alpha male looks at his mate and licks her. She had already lost all but one of her pups and he knew how much this would mean to her. "Alright, you may keep it, but if it causes trouble, no matter if it would mean a strong hunter or not, it will be turned out.." The female wolf waves her tail and picks up the child gently by the neck. The wolf pack heads back to the den.

When they get there, the female goes into the den and lets her pup and the little human nurse. The human grows fast. Her mother, Greyfoot has a hard time keeping up with her, but soon the child learns to behave. She learns to talk to the rest of the pack, even though she doesn't have a tail or fur. They named her Kagome. It wasn't a wolf name, but that was what they had heard her call herself. She grows up and learns to hunt.

"Come on sister. Come on Kagome." The silver wolf with the gray snout looks at the human who is part of the pack. "I am coming brother. I'm not as fast as you. You forget sometimes. I wasn't born a wolf, even though I am one now." The girl runs after the wolf. It is time for a hunt. It has been 10 years since Kagome joined the pack. Greyfoot and her mate, Silver, have died. The pack leadership has passed to her brother Greysnout, and then onto his son Whitepaw. Her brother is old, but she still has a hard time keeping up with him.

She is a good hunter though, even if she does sometimes have a hard time keeping up with the rest of the pack. The pack gets into position and Kagome runs the dear towards the rest of the pack. When the dear gets near the rest of the pack they attack. The dear is brought down and everyone feeds. All of a sudden small things come shooting at them and everything goes black.

"That should keep them unconscious long enough for us to tag them and put the radio collars on." "Wait. One of them is still moving." One of the guys walks over to the 'wolf'. "Hey. It's not a wolf. It's a girl! But why was she feeding with the wolves" "I don't know, but we better keep her under while we tag the pack. We'll take her with us when we're done." One of them shoots Kagome with another dart and they get to work tagging the rest of the pack.
