@CAFFEINATDSAINT And when he got there, his legs finally gave out. Park decided that it would be the perfect time for a nap. Yes. Nap first, wreak havoc later.
@CAFFEINATDSAINT was his werewolf version of a dog sticking its tongue out a moving vehicle. They never got close enough for Park to admit that he was right.
The familiar sensation calmed some of his restlessness. It also helped that the breeze began to smell like trees. +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT Park tried to resist. It wasn't easy getting him on the trailer, but he was nothing like the rabid wolf he was just moments before. It was more like trying to lug a gigantic puppy into a bath. He pushed and pulled against Huck, but to no avail. He ended up on the trailer anyway.+
@CAFFEINATDSAINT boy's hands. He licked his nose a final time before the contraption was fastened.
'You even smell like us,' Park thought. 'Stupid boy. I'll bite the rest of your fingers off. You'd taste sweet.'
@CAFFEINATDSAINT There was a bitter irony in winning your authority against wolves but still losing it to a human. A boy of a human. Park growled not knowing that it was coming out as a whine. With all of his focus poured onto keeping himself upright, he could not resist the muzzle. Nor the +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT both hers and Park's fortune. But she would carry a wound and a reminder that she'd been beaten today.
Park pointed his nose up, realizing Oscar's scent. And how long had /he/ been up there? His head dropped to look at Huck again.
'Just one mutt to another.'
@CAFFEINATDSAINT 'Not my fault ladies love me,' Park wanted to say, in his dizzy, lightheaded state. The tranquilizer was working just enough to keep him from snapping at Huck, but not to take him down completely. He wobbled on his feet but refused to lie down. The she-wolf would live, much to +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT Park whimpered. This was bad. He had it. It was right there. He couldn't go unconscious now. He looked at the boy again, amber eyes meeting blue. If he could speak, he would have. But his voice reached only his own mind.
'Wait.'
@CAFFEINATDSAINT Park almost missed it. He didn't feel the needle break through his skin, but he did feel the gradual lull of the medicine. His legs wobbled, but he forced himself awake. He turned and found a boy standing amongst the foliage. How did he not notice him sooner? +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT as much. But he couldn't risk shifting now; not when he had gotten so far. He bore the torture for as long as he could, failing to sense the human that had entered the enclosure.
@CAFFEINATDSAINT Establishing dominance: check. Potentially blowing your cover: also check. Assured he was no longer an enemy to the dire wolves, Park allowed the alarm whistle to piss him off. He pawed at his own ears and whined at the ache. If he was in skin, the sound would not affect him +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT He growled, spine locked, canines bared. He dared the others to get closer and was ready for any such attempt.
Just as he had sensed something different in the wolves, they realized something odd about him, too. Like an understanding that he was not entirely like them. +
@CAFFEINATDSAINT even register the attack, his instincts triggered a reflex. There was a chaotic blur of claws and teeth and rabid snarling. In a split second of savage frenzy, Park flipped the dire wolf onto its back and pinned it beneath him, his jaws inches from its throat as he sounded +
