Nightshade

Luna raised her nose to the air, sensing that there was a wolf nearby. In my territory? Never! Luna briskly trotted forward following the scent. Soon she found a black wolf, drinking quietly from a pond. She let out a growl, letting the wolf know of her presence. The wolf immediately jerked up, staring at her. He backed away, head down. Luna held her tail straight, letting him know who was in charge here. The black wolf crouched, letting his head droop submissively. Luna watched him for a second, then howled. On instinct, the other wolf howled back. Luna stopped howling, then turned around and padded away. The black wolf followed behind his new pack leader.
