It was late at night as the full moon shines over the forest and loud howls could be heard through the forest

A black and red werehog sniffs the ground looking for prey to hunt but couldn't find as he huff and head back home. That is until he caught the smell of a deer and grins.

He follow the scent to find a deer drinking water at the river as he slowly stalks the deer and when he was close enough and pounces on the deer.

The deer whine in fright as the werehog quickly sinks it's teeth into the deer's neck and quickly killing it as it lays limp in the werehog's jaws. The werehog smirks and heads back home.

After a while of walking the werehog gets back to his pack and they run up and greet him as two other werehogs drag the dead deer to their fresh kill pile.

"Your back, Alpha and you brought food too." Said a pale aqua and black hedgehog

"Yeah, and Mephiles I told you that you don't have to call me Alpha. Shadow or brother would do." He said

Mephiles nods," Yeah I know but I will still call you Alpha." He said shrugging

Shadow rolls his eyes and huffs," Anyway, how's your mate doing?" He asked as he sits down and cleans himself a bit

Mephiles smiles and wags his tail," He's doing alright, a bit grumpy but doing fine." He said as he chuckles a bit

"What did you expect? He's pregnant with your pup." Shadow said smiling

"Yeah, you got a point there. And what about you, hmm? Find a mate yet?" He asked as he gives Shadow a curious look

Shadow growls softly and shook his head no," Not yet." He said as he frowns a bit

"Well, you better find one soon or you won't be Alpha." Mephiles said as he looks up at Shadow

Shadow sighs and nods," I know, I'll start looking for one tomorrow." He said as Mephiles nods in agreement

"Well alright then and good luck." Mephiles said as he went to his den to go check up on his mate as Shadow sighs and heads into his den too.

Meanwhile in another part of the forest a injured and lost blue hedgehog walks through the forest and getting near the werehog pack.

"Hope I find help soon." The blue hedgehog mumbles out as he looks at his injured foot and then decided to rest as he finds a tree with a hole at the base of it and crawls inside and curls up and quickly falls asleep.

-Next Day-

Birds fly and chirps as morning sunlight shines down on the quiet forest as a blue hedgehog starts to wake up

"Morning already? Better get moving." The blue hedgehog groans out as he slowly gets out of the tree and starts walking

~Back with Werehog pack~

Shadow yawns and stretches as he wakes up and gets up and walks out his den to see everyone else starting to wake up too.

He yawns again as he walks over to the fresh kill pile and grabs a rabbit to eat. He looks at the fresh kill pile and sees he would have to go hunting again

Shadow quickly eats his rabbit as he sends out some of his pack to go out hunting again and then heads to Mephiles den.

"Mephiles? You awake?" Shadow asked when he had to duck as a bone almost hit," Will you be quiet? I'm trying to sleep." Said a angry white and light blue hedgehog as he glares at Shadow

Mephiles yawns and nuzzles the hedgehog," It's alright, babe. Just go back to sleep." He said as the hedgehog huffs and go back to sleep and Mephiles heads out the Shadow

Mephiles yawns again," What is it, Shadow?" He asked as he gives Shadow a sleepy look

"I'm going out hunting for food and I need you and Venice to watch the pack for me,ok?" He said/asked

Mephiles nods," Alright then. I'll go get Venice and tell him." He said as Shadow nods and heads off into the forest to look for food.

~Back with the little blue Hedgie~

"Sonic, what did you get yourself into?" He thought to himself as Sonic sighs softly as he starts to feel tired from all the walking he's been doing.

Sonic ears then twitches hearing a river nearby and smiles knowing he'll be able to take a break soon but what he didn't know was that a werehog was heading to that same river too.

After a bit of slowly walking, Sonic finally made it to the river as he sighs in relief and as he bends down and starts drinking water not noticing the black and red werehog watching him.

~With Shadow~

Shadow sniffs the air and ground looking for the scent of a deer or rabbit when he caught a sweet scent and follows it

He follows the sweet scent to river where he spots the blue hedgehog drinking water. Shadow subconsciously smiles and wags his tail as he watches the blue hedgehog

After a bit of watching, Shadow decided to show himself but as he was about to a leopard jumps out of the forest and heads towards Sonic which made Shadow growl in angry.
