The Moment

Wait

I paused a breath away from tearing out the prey's throat.

Don't, please.

I growled. We had an agreement. I could do whatever I wanted these three nights. And this, this was prey. And I was hungry.

And you can, anything you want, but please not this. I know this human. He's...part of my human pack. Please.

My tail lashed. I'd seen his pack. This human wasn't part of it.

He's new. Please, don't kill him. 

I snapped my teeth against the pale skin's throat grazing it, but not biting down.
If I don't find other prey tonight, packmate, you will regret it.

I know. But I'll regret this even more.

I laid my ears back. Fine. We'll 'talk' more after I eat.
I suddenly bit down on one of the pale skin's arms. He cried out, fighting, but my bite was strong. He couldn't escape me when I didn't want him to.
I dragged him through the snow to a hole in the ground I'd stumbled upon on my previous nights of hunting. With a jerk of my head, I threw the pale skin into the pitch blackness.
Now, I could hunt.
Throwing my head back into a howl, I dashed into the forest, seeking better tasting prey.

Catchya on the Flip Side.
