~| Chapter 1: The Start of a New Beginning |~ The she-wolf and her mate, Kabik, looked for a perfect home for the newborn puppies. They took a long journey in the dark until they found the perfect cave. It had a wide opening but it slanted down a bit which was perfect so they can can catch anyone who tries to touch the newborns. The she-wolf crawled in and found that the back of the cave had a small tunnel that led to a opening that had a small water pond and a hay bed. This must have been another wolf's home. Kabik made his mark of the den to tell outsiders there is a male alpha in there. Kabik went to go hunting while the she-wolf lay down and rest. Kabik heard the sounds of a blue jay's little birds. He dashed to the sound then slowed down when he got got closer. The nest had been hidden under a bush in a little pit. Kabik snuck in and grabbed one of the birds and bit into the body, hearing the sounds of the little gentle bones being broken. He grabbed the biggest chick there was and took it to the she-wolf. When he managed to get back to the cave, he smelled brand new scents mixed in with the she-wolf. He then he little whimpers and cries of small wolves. He rushed in to greet the newborns and gave the meat to the she-wolf. He was so happy to see the young newborns. He had went to grab some more food to store up in the den. He grabbed the rest of the small chicks and took them all bundled in his jaw. Once he got back into the extra den space, he dropped all the small chicks in a corner and then went to rest next to she wolf while she was sleeping with the cubs. In the morning, he had woken up to the noise of the nasty snarl of the she-wolf outside the tunnel. He quietly crept out of the tunnel, making sure not wake the cubs, and found a lynx behind the small curve. He had the need to jump for the lynx, but withdrew from it and stayed with the she-wolf. She wouldn't move from her spot to attack the lynx because she knew she had to crawl under the slope to get to the lynx, which would be a perfect opportunity for the lynx to attack. The lynx slowly started to crouch closer, and then she small cubs where starting to bark, so the lynx started to speed up the pace and crawled under the slope fast. What will happen next? Tune in to the next episode to figure out, will the wolf parents leave for the cubs aid or will they stay and fight? Leave your thoughts down below!
