Chapter 10: Disease and careless hunt 

It has been three days since the fight between the two packs took place, IT has spent the time sleeping, trying to recover from his minor wounds.

IT was nudged awake by a lick on his face followed by the sounds of whimpering.

Having been awakened, IT began to observe his surroundings. IT noticed that the one who licked him was the female juvenile, apparently she woke IT up because something was wrong, it was related to the whimpering sounds.

IT followed the source of the sound and saw the two figures of the adults on his side lying on the ground, the mother wolf was the source of the whimper, she was probably in pain. IT stands up and checked on her wounds. The wound on her neck has a yellow-white substance oozing around it. IT guided by instinct decides to lick it off in order to clean it. The wound is infected.

After IT was done, IT looked over to the grey wolf and saw the same predicament. Some of his wounds were filled with pus and all of his bite marks were infected. IT begins to clean them. While cleaning the grey's wolf's wounds, IT noticed that some areas of the grey wolf's body were swollen. Having no clue what the swelling means, IT decides to ignore it and continue cleaning.

The grey wolf during the wound licking barely even moved, giving the illusion that he was already dead. The only sign of him being alive was the rise and fall of his side. Something was very wrong with the grey wolf. IT could do nothing but to keep cleaning the infected wounds.

Having completed cleaning their wounds to the best of his abilities. IT turns his direction to the female Juvenile wolf in front of him, her features and posture suggested that she was hungry. Since there's nothing else IT can do to help the injured wolves heal faster, IT decides to hunt. Besides the wounded wolves chances of surviving might increase if they're wounded but full rather than wounded and starving.

IT proceeds to look for the male juvenile and sees that the he was nowhere near insight. Having seen this IT signals the other juvenile wolf to follow him outside of the den.

It was already dark outside. IT makes a loud howl in order to call the missing juvenile, the howl could be heard throughout their surrounding territory. After IT stops howling, another howl was heard in the distance, a response and judging by the sounds, it was the male juvenile.

IT howls again in order to tell him to come and then IT waited for the juvenile. Sure enough, the juvenile comes and appears out of some nearby bushes, from the direction where the sun moon rises. He too looked quite hungry, judging by his looks. IT greets and nudges the male wolf to follow him. The three of them proceeds to go to the place which the clash between wolves took place.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

They reach the edge of their territory and IT looks up into the sky, The moon was out and was in its full glory basking the white forest with its silver light. IT followed by the two juveniles enters enemy territory in order to hunt, a very high risk with a small chance of success. With only IT and the two juvenile wolves, there was a very low chance that they would successfully hunt any big game, there was also a risk to encounter the territorial wolves again.

Hello this is the author. I reread my story and noticed that some of my chapters were extremely short and filled with some typos that I haven't noticed before. Therefore I did what a responsible author would do, fixed them in order to rake in new viewers.

There was little to no change to the story so the old readers (readers who have read my work since the beginning) don't need to reread everything.

Now the reason for the chapters having been reduced is that I merged some of the short chapters together, this is just to inform the old readers so they don't get confused when they see the number of chapters significantly reduced.

Also pardon me for the long break I took, I got a little busy with work, some new releases of shows, reading and  some new research so I wasn't able to make a long chapter today so... to make up for it I'm making a poll

I made a poll to know what the readers want for the fate of the pack whether they die, live or be wiped out. this poll won't affect the current story line too much, I just wanted to know my readers opinion. This would also be a good time to comment any ideas you might have concerning the story. If I like your idea I will put it in the story.

{ Last Note For This Chapter: if there's any grammar, criticism, mistakes or any other confusing stuff in the story let me know in the comment section below and I will answer it there on the comment section or on the next Chapter of the info section and do the fixes on the current chapter. I'm kinda blind at seeing any horrible sentences that need some rephrasing or any other info that I might be confusing, so I'm looking for any help I can get. }
