Aria, my mother, couldn't have been prouder that she had given birth to unique pups. There were five of us. My sister and I were the only females while our brothers took the rest of our litter. Our father, Alpha, really couldn't have been happier he trained us until we were six months. The time passed by so fast it was almost terrifying. "Oh I can't wait until our first hunt." "Neither can we Arianna. But I wonder what should we try and get?" "How about the caribou after all they give us life? Plus their mating season just ended to, so it will be a free-for-all with all the newborn calves roaming about." "Same, I was just thinking that." With that we all laughed until I heard our father call all of us over to him. I immediately nuzzled and rubbed my back underneath his chin like a feline would do. "Down baby girl." "You wanted us father?" "Yes, today you will all take your hunting test as a group with Arianna as your leader." We shook our heads as we were about to leave when he told us, me and Hannah, to stay. "Yes dad?" "I wanted to know if you both have talked to our healer about your heat cycles if you haven't I'll be giving you the talk since you should be going into your first heat any day now to be exact." "Daddy, do we have to hear this now can't it wait until after our hunt is over?" Father sighed, shook his head and told us to get ready. With that Hannah and I ran to try and catch up with the Triplets. "Hey Ari." "Yes?" "Thanks for saving us from 'that talk' with father." "No problem and to be truthful I was getting embarrassed that he was going to be giving us 'the talk.' But, you know we can't avoid it for long." "So true. Hey I can see the Triplets up there are you ready to lead our hunting party onee-chan?" "You know it imoto." With that we started planning our hunt and put it into action. Hannah and I blended in with the snow perfectly but our boys had some trouble with their plum colored fur. We cornered this huge buck and took turns biting and nipping at his throat. The buck turned to run I headed it off and barked at it as turned back until we all bit into his throat. We stayed like that until its body stopped moving, "Well that was perfect if I do say so for our first ever hunt. Wouldn't you agree?" My siblings shook their heads as we dragged our kill home.

Mid-morning

By the time we caught our caribou it was already mid-morning. I dropped its neck as I spoke, "Yes, our first ever kill and we are now full fledged adults when it comes to hunting of course." "Yeah, I still can't believe we all took down this bull with hardly any injury caused to us. Now that has to be a feat nobody but us have ever done in their lifetime." "You three stop it we need to bring this back to the pack if we want to eat our share before anyone else." We shook our heads and started to drag/carry our kill back to our den. I howled once we got closer to the den. Father heard it and brought our pack to our kill. He smiled ear to ear at our impressive teamwork. "Now my children are adults and can't be taken lightly." The pack laughed at our father's joke until they stopped to listen to him again. "And now we'll let the new hunters eat if they can fight for their meal as well." With that we surrounded our kill and attacked anyone who came near to get a bite to eat until finally we prevailed then ate our fill and left the rest. With full bellies we took a walk around our territory. (Ah it's peaceful here even though we'll be leaving soon to go to our other territory since food will be running low. I just hope everything goes as planned. Hmm I should probably get back to the pack, since it's almost night now.)
