"Hand me a piece of jerky Kitten," John said aloud. Turning to Little Bit he asked, "Can you talk to them?"
"Yes, but I am only pup they not listen to me." Little Bit replied.
"They will, trust me," John replied as he took a bite of meat. He looked at the others, "Calm yourselves and come with me. As they started grabbing supplies and weapons he stopped them. "No... just yourselves. We will meet the pack on even terms. This is their home; we are the ones trespassing."
On the other side of the little grove, John dug a path up to the ground. Though it was still snowing, the blizzard had died down. Walking about ten meters from the tree he sat down and patted the snow next to him. "Sit beside me Little Bit," he said mentally. The pup came up and sat beside him and looked around.
"Candy, Baby Girl watch six. Kitten and Tracker left. Winnie and Honey right. Do nothing until I say so." John commanded. He looked down at Little Bit and said, "Call the pack and say I will speak with them."
"They will not listen John."
"Can they hear me if I call to them?" John asked. "Or can you channel me?"
"Ah the English Channel how I long to see it once again," Winnie said wishfully.
"Channel? What is that," Tracker said beating out Honey by a whisker.
Ignoring them John stood and walked forward. "You seek me? Well come and face if you dare. Tooth to tooth...Claw to claw or speak of peace. Your choice," his mind roared. All of the maleness that the girls had felt and smelled when he took them fully came out now in his mental shout.
"Contact fifty meters," Candy transmitted.
A moment later the others reported the pack circling in so again John's mind roared a challenge. "I killed the great bear to the north west. You think I am scared of a few pups acting big? Come face me if you dare." A moment later three of wolves came out in front of him and stood unspeaking.
"You not welcome here. You must die," the words came brokenly from one of the wolves.
"My clan and I are passing though. We will leave once we have rested. Leave us. I have no wish to kill you." John looked around, "If I must I will fight your pack to protect my mates." He returned his attention to the front group, "It is sad that the leader of your pack hides off to the side."
"Do you think you can intimidate my family? For a cat who is out numbered you talk big."
"For a dog who hides behind females that is rich," John replied. "Now that we have had our pissing contest, let us talk without our females threatening each other."
"You wish me to give up my advantage? I think not. Safer to kill you."
"I know you Candy," John transmitted. "What holdouts are you carrying?"
"Me? Would I do something against your will?" Candy replied. "I don't need a hold out. But you might think to ask your Honey girl and Kitten. They like to play with eggs."
"I would run if I were you," John transmitted to the wolf pack. "Take them out girls."
As if they had practiced it, Honey and Kitten both threw the hand grenades so they landed in the middle of the wolves on their sides. "Run damn you!" John commanded with all the force he had and the pack scattered. A moment later the two explosions ripped through the air.
"We will talk," the voice said in a submissive tone.
"Go inside, pack everything up and wait for me." John said sitting down. He stroked Little Bit's back as he added, "Stay out here with me."
Although the wolf cub had seen fighting, the sounds of the explosions had scared her and she would have run to her sisters had not John ordered her to sit where she was. His word was her law and nothing would make her break it. "John leader of pack now."
"What?" John asked confused.
"You command and then save pack. John, you are the new leader of pack. But they are confused and scared." Little Bit tried to explain to him.
"Calm and make sure they understand I will not harm any of them please." John said to her. He turned his attention to the lone wolf who was belly crawling up to him. About three feet away it rolled over and exposed its throat. He moved forwards on all fours and placed his hand with claws exposed on the wolf's throat. "The fight is over between us now."
Intelligent eyes looked up at him, "The fight is over."
Aloud John said, "Little Bit, guard the entrance. I will be back." Standing he looked down at the wolf, "Come let's find a quiet place to talk." He started walking over to another group of trees with the wolf following. Once they were alone he sat down and looked at it. "You are the Alpha Bitch. Where is the Alpha male?"
"We have...had no male. Pack all females." The wolf replied looking at him.
"Forgive me for asking, but how does the pack grow with only females?"
"When it is time, the pack will find males to breed with. Now pack has male and needs no others." The wolf remained looking at him, "When it is time, male will give pack children."
