She was cautious and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce, she was more focused on the calves than the adults. She knew the calves where weaker, that's what she learned in her birth pack.

She hid in the shadows, moving a little at a time. The wolf started to show her teeth as she was getting ready to pounce, she had eyes on a calf. It was a weak one easier to take down, then a healthy one. After a few seconds she pounced scaring the herd, the bull let out an ear shattering screech as they all started running from fear of the loner wolf.

The she wolf started chasing the Herd, she was gaining speed on her prey. The wolf soon sunk her teeth into the calf's leg, he let out a scream of pain. The mother Elk realizing what was happening to her baby, soon turning around and trying to attack the wolf, Clover let go and stopped running. This made the cow miss puncturing her head into her, the calf hid behind her mother knowing he had a 'chance' to survive by 'hiding'. Clover let out a snarl as she started circling the two elk, waiting for the moment to pounce. As she walked blood was dripping down her mouth, and onto the soft forest forliedge.

She was waiting for a opening, where the calf was more vulnerable. But the mother stayed close to her cafe, not letting Clover near him. Clover started to sprint confusing the two, she bit the calf's neck. Blood gushing out of the wound, the calf let out a screech for help. The mother tried to hit the sneaky wolf, she stomped down on the ground. But Clover was lucky to move out of the way, to avoid injury.

Clover striked the calf once again, grabbing onto the leg harshly. She moved once again after the mother tried to kick her with the sharp hooves, on her feet.

This went on for awhile, Clover attacking the calf, and moving away from the mothers range. Clover was a patient wolf, she could do this all day without loosing interest in her prey, and becoming inpatient. She striked the calf's neck once more, the baby elk soon losing balance and falling onto the ground. The wolf kept biting the calf to make sure it was dead, the mother soon realizing she just lost her calf. She ran back to the herd, Clover watched as the cow ran deeper into the forest. After the cow elk was out of range of eyesight, the she wolf looked back at her prey. She let out a victory howl from killing a fresh kill, the howl lasted for a few seconds. She started to feast upon her kill, enjoying the fresh meat of the calf.

Clover was done with her meal and was resting near a big tree, she was full of Elk calf meat. Her ear twitched as a bush started to move, she raised her head up alerted of her surroundings. She let out a warning growl as she sat up, she placed her tail in a confident position.

Another wolf appeared out of the darkness, it was a black and grayish wolf, with yellow eyes like hers, but it was a male. Another loner like her, Clover didn't trust the strange dispersal male. The male found interest in the female, a 'perfect' mate for him. But first he had to gain her trust, he started to wag his tail, showing submission. Clover stared to growl softer, the male started to do a submission roll. Clover just looked at him confused, the male sticking his tongue out in a playful way.

The dispersal male got up from his back and sat down, waging his tail playfully. Clover quickly realized he was no threat, and stopped growling as she put her tail down. The she wolf moved a little closer to the male smelling him slightly. Finding interest in the male she started waging her tail slightly, the male stood up on all fours. And they both started sniffing each other, the male licked Clovers ears slightly. Clover didn't like it that much and started growling, realizing his mistake he stopped and backed away.

Clover sat down in front of the male, that towered over her. Clover started to do a 'play bow' showing playfulness, and submission. The male followed her movement and did a playful roll, Clovers tail started waging her tail in a confident way. After the male stood back up, Clover started to lick his cheek telling him she "wanted to start a pack with him" . He did the same with her, they both agreed to be mates. But they weren't mates yet, they had to get to know each other first, before they become mates.

The two walked through the forest, the male wolf also known as Nightlight was getting hungry. He hasn't eaten in awhile, he started to smell the air looking for food. He managed to catch the scent of a rabbit that was nearby, he let out a whine towards Clover. She looked back at the hungry wolf and tilted her head a little, Nightlight then walked off to find the rabbit. Clover didn't understand what he wanted, he came back with a rabbit in his mouth. A freshly killed one, Clover soon realized that he was hungry, she sat down as Nightlight dropped the hare on the ground. Hearing a 'flopping' like sound as it landed, the male wolf started to eat his kill.

After he was done, only bones were left with some meat on them. Nightlight licked his lips, licking the blood that was left. Clover waited their penitently, Nightlight let out bark as he stood up. He was in a playful mood, like he always is after eating.

Nightlight walked over to Clover and started wagging his tail, Clover just stared at him with a blank stare. Until she nuzzled her head up against Nightlight's fur, the male wolf placed his head around Clover's fur. After a few seconds they break apart, they stared at each other for a few seconds. Nightlight licked clovers nose in a playful way.

After a few days the two started to get along, and have gotten to know each other pretty well. They were hanging out in 'fossil forest' a forest filled with dead trees, Clover felt something land on her fur. She jolted back a little, she didn't know what it was at first. More of flakes started landing on both their fur and ground, Nightlight started to sniff the flakes that landed on the ground, he sniffed it exaiming it. It was snow? It was snowing in Yellowstone, it was around January meaning one thing. It was time to mate for the wolf, Nightlight lifted his head up to see Clover laying down. Her ear twitched as she stood up on all fours, she started to walk towards Lamar Valley. Nightlight quickly ran after her, they exited Fossil Forest and into the beautiful valley, that was soon to be covered in snow...
