Bruce was almost, ALMOST at his limit. His temper was very controlled, but these times were hard, and affected everyone. Winter was not helping, the pack had enough drama as it was. "Winter!" He snapped, "there is no space here for whining! You are respected by the whole pack, I wouldn't have chosen you if you didn't deserve this position!"
The Alpha clenched his, he couldn't wait to get out into the forest. Just then, Stryke stalked over and began growling at Winter. When Stryke threatened Winter, Bruce finally intervened, and shouldered his way between the two, who were nose to nose. "There is no time for this petty immaturity! Our very lives may hang in the balance on this hunt! We can't work as a pack of we can't get along together. Now, go do your duties!" The Alpha barked. "Winter! You will show your beta respect, and vice versa. If I hear any more insults aimed at each other you will be sent to watch the pups for the next moon!" Bruce then howled into the sky, "now! Let us hunt!"
Once everyone was ready Bruce treaded outside the den. "Accalia. Please lead the way, you know these woods the best. Everyone stay low and be quiet, we need to be alert and observant!"
