Whirl shifted her weight. She stood up and slipped out of the den. She took a deep breath.

Sophia chased him with her also 2 month old legs

"Sophia! Why did you go out?" Ina snapped. "She saw Shane and Lichen just sitting there and then lichen getting up and leaving. "And you two! How dare you let her out! You want her to get killed!? There's a lone wolf out there who wants puppy for dinner!" Ina was enraged. "Lichen get back here! You two are gonna take her and make her sleep and not let her out of your site until I say it's safe! And if either of you leave that den again I'll personally punish you!" Ina yelled. "Sophia get over there and stay over there and Strive get some sleep! Do you have any idea how late it is?! You should all be asleep!"

[tai.]

Sophia ran to her den

[Aravel]

Strive sat instantly, wide-eyed. "Aw..." He complained.

Lichen heard Ina's rage. She just wasnt used to being curled around a small pup for hours on end. Ina just seemed oblivious to this. But then again, she had a pup of her own for a while. Didnt Ina realize that Lichen's instincts as a hunter of the pack were ripping her apart by staying in the camp? She quickly turned and walked back to her den. "Sophia?" she asked. "Can you please stay put?" She trotted to the entrance and lay down restlessly, just on the outside. At least there was more space. She looked toward the treeline. "Arg Lichen...fight it. Your a mother now." Still, she just wanted to satisfy her hunting abilities.

Sophia layed next to Shane

"No awwws. Lay down and go to sleep. now." she said. Ina wlked out of the den to Lichen. "I understand how you feel but there is a pup eating wolf out there who wants Sophia's blood. You either love her or you dont. Make up your mind." Ina whispered in Lichens ear.

[PhoenixRider]

Lichen did love Sophia. Very much. But not hunting would take some getting used too. She had been the lead hunter, not delta, but she knew every trail, every path, evry migratory route of the caribou herds in the region. Now she was Delta Female, and she couldnt even carry out the tasks. She laid her head under her paws, her body felt torn in two. Her deep love for Sophia, and her instincts as a hunter gnawed at her.

"I didn't say you could never hunt again. You can do that tomorrow. But no more up all nights unless it's your turn. No more leaving without a word. And no more break of dawn to sunset." Ina said. "It's not the end of the world. Just the end of total freedom." Ina said with a slight laugh. "Don't worry. You get used to it."
