Buck woke next to his mother who was gnawing on a bone, smelling like leftover elk. Buck did not like cold meat. There was a piece sitting next to her, a piece of small bone with fat and some leg meat. She knew that was Buck’s favorite. He stretched and greeted his mother who gave the elk pieces to him. She mentioned that the hunt at sun down was good, but not as planned, the hunters caught a beaver and found a northern pack near the

    Gray wolves range in color from grizzled gray or black to all-white. As the ancestor of the domestic dog, the gray wolf resembles German shepherds or malamutes.

She had left a week ago, intent on strengthening their ties with the recent uprise of so many new packs in the valley.
