Winter woke to the sounds of her pack singing, let out a huge sigh, and didnâ€™t bother to move. She was always a late riser and never amused to be woken by sudden loud noise. Lying on her side, she shifted only enough to peek outside, noted the gathered members, sighed again, and pretended to be sleeping.<br/><br/>It was the unfamiliar howling that finally caught her interest. It was loud and challenging. And while only her own pack was calling, she had been content to ignore it and see how much longer she could sleep. But with this new occurrence, that had suddenly become an impossibility.<br/><br/>She wailed to the sky about how big, how strong, she and her pack were. Without even bothering to do any more than rolling onto her back, all four legs stuck into the air. How foolish it was for two males to be challenging an entire pack. She hoped that Xavier would let the pack kill them and leave their bodies as a warning. That was how her father would have dealt with thingsâ€¦<br/><br/>Winter's stomach reminded her of its problems, and she wished that the stupid males had waited until after the hunt to bother them.
