In the ring of territory surrounding the Altum base lies their Hunting Grounds. Here, lakes of insane depth dominate. The thick canopy the Altum wolves live under makes lakes hard to spot. The Altum would never swim willingly, but know emergency tactics to possibly save their lives one day. Unfortunately, newbies, pups, and outsiders are not so lucky. Deaths on the Altum territory are frequent, because the sucking torrents of their rushing rivers and the mad depths of their murky lakes make life difficult. Some rebellious teens enjoy the thrill of riding the current, or at least think they will. Because of this, premature death is no stranger to the Altum pack. To their advantage, however, the rivers, lakes, humidity and lovely shade make the forest rich with prey. The other packs envy the Altum prey stash, as they often have so much it goes to waste before someone needs it. Here, the Altum hunt:
(Rodents, Bugs, Fish, Birds)
(BABY Brown Bears, Amphibians, Deer)
(BABY Black Panthers, Raccoons, Snakes)

--ENTER FROM BASE-- Poppi was cautiously but curiously going around glancing at every flower and leaf, sniffing out any recognizable smell around her, and indeed enjoying this hunt as if it were a walk. Walks she used to take along herself around the borders of the Altum Pack when she were just a loner with her younger brother and sister. This makes her feel sad, as if she had failed, but she pushed that feeling aside and thought positively, That was just one mistake. With this litter, you are surely not to fail! You've got a mate that can help you with raising these pups.
With this new positive thought this gives Poppi the other thought. Come on! You don't want to fail Hiro. I mean he may be a soldier, but we're the only two here so it's fine as of now. Plus, you'll soon have some pups to feed of your own, so get used to stretching out your legs while you still can. Poppi then put her game-face on and started to take her hunt seriously.

Hiro watched that sadness cloud over αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι's eyes once more. While he was trying to find something to say, she seemed to lighten up. That was good, he decided; he was bad at comforting emotional faes.
Hiro was tired of the silence, and tried to make conversation.
"So, uh... what're we catchin'?"
The brute was growing more comfortable with her, but that didn't change the fact that he had only really confessed to her last night.
Then the thought came into his mind.
She never said she loved me back.
Hiro felt his pelt heat up with fear. Was he making a fool of himself? Did she think that last night was casual?
He groaned out loud just thinking of it; he was terrified that maybe she did not feel the same way he did. |

Poppi through her thoughts swiveled her head to look at Hiro, who had broken the chain of thought in her head. She blushed and joked, " How about some good ol' lovebirds?" She glanced up briskly to the branches above to see if she could spot anything.
Where were all the cheeky squirrels when you needed them?
"Ugh. Everything's probably still in hiding from the storms," Poppi snorted, looking back at alpнa нιro . "That's annoying." What really annoyed her was that after the rain, the water has cleared away all the really good scents.
Poppi could see some kind of sad thoughtfulness in Hiro's eyes and she tilted her head. Did she do something wrong? |

Hiro snapped out of this little moment and sighed. He smiled weakly at αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι and tried to be strong, but the very thought of his possibly unrequited love made his stomach churn. Clearing his throat, the brute spoke.
”Poppi, I’m sure there are fish in the lakes. The rain wouldn’t have had any affect on them.”
Hiro sighed heavily, still weighed down by this feeling of hopelessness, and the remnants of last night. The fae was obviously scarred from the happenings of the night before, and he wondered if it had been his fault. The brute thought the night they shared was wonderful, and he woke up energetic, but the deep vulnerability he felt inside was abnormal. |

"That works out!" Poppi yips. "Fish it is. Honestly couldn't think of that one by myself."
She started to silently pad her way toward the lakes. After a few moments of silence, she finally realized what Hiro was probably fretting about. She slows down and looks at Hiro, who was probably trying to hide all of his thoughts from spilling out.
"Look, Hiro..." Poppi says. "I'm sorry if I haven't been the best wolf in the world. I want to apologize for that. I'm sorry about not loving you back, I didn't know you felt that way about me." She shifted her gaze around. Finally after a few moments of silence she locks her gaze on his and says, "I love you too."

Hiro looked up to meet her gaze, a wave of relief crashing through his body. He was so glad to hear those words come out of her mouth. Looking her up and down, he gave her a menacing look, and started to run with all his might. Hiro hoped αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι would catch on to the idea of a race. Hiro just ran his heart out. It was great, he thought. The brute was here, with the fae he loved, and she loved him, and all they had was each other. That was the true feeling he craved. Hiro loves Poppi, and now Poppi loves Hiro. It was a perfect day. |

Poppi hadn't expected such a positive reaction from Hiro. It really surprised her too. When he started to race off, she didn't know what he was up to, but she quickly tried to race up behind him. The fae wasn't as fast as the brute, perhaps, but she tried to keep up anyway.
Through a panted breathe she exclaimed, "Hey! Slow down, silly!" Poppi had forced herself to run faster, finally on his tail when she realized that this was supposed to be a race. She grinned and lightly bit his tail to distract him and slow him down with a mischievous attitude to it. She had to get rid of this extra energy somehow, right?

Hiro’s smile widened as he glanced over his shoulder at the smaller fae. Slowing, the brute met αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι. With a mischievous look, he wrestled her playfully.
”I think I won, my Alphess.”
Digging his nose into her chest fur, he continued to wrestle gently.
The sun was sinking behind the tall trees, painting the sky with beautiful shades of scarlet and dusky purple. The air was beginning to cool, and Hiro felt like he should keep Poppi warm.
The wrestling morphed into protecting her from the cold. The brute remembered their purpose was to hunt, but disregarded this thought as he embraced her. |

Poppi had not expected for alpнa нιro to turn around and tackle her playfully in that way or fashion, but she enjoyed the little gentle tussle.
"I think I won, my Alphess,” Poppi had heard her future alpha said. As Poppi were playfully being pinned to the ground, she smiled and allowed her body to go limp in a way saying that she had given up in a playful manner.
"You win, Hiro," Poppi sighed, and felt as he started to instead drive less energy into pinning her and instead positioning himself by her. She then briskly rolled over to her stomach, and lay beside him comfortably. To make things cute, the fae decided to press her nose below his ear. "You have a good heart."

Hiro felt αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι touch just below his ear, his heartbeat quickening once more. The brute’s body grew warm as he returned the affection by nuzzling her forehead.
”You have a good heart.”
Hiro chuckled, his breath ruffling the fur around her neck.
”You’re quite the catch yourself, my lady.”
The brute stretched his huge body before wrapping it around his fae. He had not been known to be so affectionate prior to meeting Poppi, but he felt compelled to protect her and give her everything she desired.
Gazing into the sunset, Hiro was flooded with waves of contentment and happiness. This was where he wanted to be. |

Poppi had felt alpнa нιro stretching and then sitting back down, and this reminded her of the moving critters that could be around them. She then realized that they were in fact supposed to be hunting, and she started to glance around, looking for some type of excuse for standing up. She sighed, knowing that Hiro would question her attitude for looking for something.
"Hiro, shouldn't we be hunting as of now?" Poppi pointed out with a feeling of being unsure. "I know I personally haven't eaten in a couple of days. What about you?"
The fae looked into Hiro's direction and awaited a reply, hoping that he would do something wisely.

Hiro sighed, enjoying her warmth but also knowing he should do as she asked.
”Alright. I’ll tell you what,” the brute rose to his feet, ”I will catch you something, and you will stay here and relax.”
Hiro gave her a mischievous look.
”After all, princesses do not hunt.”
The brute drew in all the scents he could manage, catching a whiff of something familiar. Hiro followed this scent, which soon revealed itself to him as a mouse. Excited at the thought of a juicy piece of prey just for his fae, the brute tore through the foliage in search of the little rodent. When he separated a particularly tangled bramble, the little face of the fat thing peered up at him. Hiro brought a huge paw down on it, restraining it until he could get his jaws wrapped around it.
Hiro trotted back to Poppi with a mouse in his mouth and his tail in the air. |

Poppi had opened her mouth to protest, but by the time she had came up with an excuse for her to tag along, alpнa нιro had already started to smash through the brambles up ahead. The fae rolled her eyes and stretched, sitting back down again. She had waited for only what seemed a few moments when the soldier returned with a mouse, his tail pointed up and by his expression he was rather proud of himself.
The fae smiled and stood up, shaking her fur. Was he going to eat his fair share? Although currently Poppi was a higher rank than him. That could work if he wanted her to eat instead.

Hiro sat beside αℓρнєѕѕ ρσρρι, waiting for her to eat. The brute then realized she was seeing if he would eat first.
”Ladies first,” Hiro said gently to her, nudging her shoulder with his nose. The soldier sat vigilant, determined to protect his fae. Even if they did not love each other, it was Hiro’s duty to protect the Alphess. He outstretched his tail to intertwine it with hers, wanting to help her feel safe. Hiro hoped that she wouldn’t need any other soldiers but him to protect her.
Hiro wondered if Poppi was bothered by his constant cling to her. He hoped she wasn’t; if anyone needed the comfort, it was him. |
