Lucia wagged her tail at Kakasha as she walked by with the buck. The smell of fresh meat at Lucia wanting to head inside at last. She stood up, shaking the snow out of her fur. As she did so, she heard someone approach, and crouched again, as if she were going to pounce.<br/><br/>She watched as one of her fellow wolves, carried an unfamiliar werewolf and dragged a large bear across the snow and into the cave. Now Lucia's curiosity was peaked. She stood again, and walked toward the cave slowly. Lucia growled. She could smell the fear and pain from the white werewolf, and she knew what a frightened animal could do.<br/><br/>Just as she was about to enter the cave, the unfamiliar werewolf, and Kakasha went running past. Lucia jumped to the side. She saw the white wolf fall shoulder first down the bank and into the creek. Lucia's tail sagged and she whined in sympathy, as Kakasha dived in after him.<br/><br/>Finally, Lucia entered the cave. She bowed her head as Lucan and Thomas headed outside, in recognition to the alpha's rank. Then, she sat away from the fire, looking at the giant bear hungrily. Lucia smiled a wolfish smile.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Well, what a spring this will be? Such yummy food! And so much of it! We'll be set for weeks!</span>Lucia thought, broadcasting to the few pack members that were still in the cave.
