The Lone Wolf

The woods were covered with sprinkling of new snow gleaming and sparkling as if covered with diamonds low laying mist covered the ground hiding things into the clearing slinking crept the large wolf He slunk down onto his belly as he got closer well known as the ghost wolf or spirit wolf few had seen him though many heard him nightly always alone singing out his heart to the moon Preferring a solitary life he ranged far and wide right now he had an elk in his sights for dinner a flash of silver as he pounced, the deed done blood dripping from his nuzzle he howled and howled A full belly and afters stashed away for another day his thoughts turned to other things, a tantalising smell a she wolf nearby was in oestrogen her scent lingering tempting and teasing. he followed her trail, love in his heart Finding her they played and flirted chasing each other with her not sure it needs two or more to raise cubs teasing her until nature had its way they mated at last now you hear a pair of wolves serenading the bright moon
