"Akiak! A voice shouted through the pack. Akiak sighed as he was just woken up.
"What is it? he answered back.
"we found him" a voice came back, Akiak got up and look out side.
"Cupan? Akiak asked
"Im afraid so" a wolf answered back "He's dead"
Akiaks look soon changed as he heard the news, he made his way down to them.
"Where was he?
"He was at the bottom of a cliff....pushed, no doubt by one of us" The wolf said with fear and sadness.
Akiak growled at the thought.
"thank you. for finding him" he said feeling the same way
"looks like theirs a tratour among us" he said angry.
"Take cupan to the next field, give him a burial"
"consider it done sir" the other wolf replied, he bowed and walk off, a wolf followed with cupan on his back, Akiak looked at the process and turned to face his pack.
"Listen up! he shouted "One of us it a tratour.....a thorn in the pack" the wolves looked at him.
"Cupan was murdered by one of you" he then turned to a gang.
"or a bunch of you" he said with much anger in his voice, they all growled at him.
"And when i find out who did this they will pay for what they have done" Akiak growled and glared at the pack, he turned around and walked away from them, The pack looking at him shocked and fearful the pups hiding under their parent's scared.Akiak looked back
"If you want to pay your last respects to him, there's a burial happening in the next field for him, I expect you to be there! Akiak went back to the den and lied down.
"I'm sorry" a voice came out from the back.
"Oh hi love" Chinook walked over to him and nuzzled him"
"its sad. isn't it... what's happened"
Akiak got up and looked at her.
"I know...He was one of the finest wolfs I've ever had the honer to work with"
Chinook walked closer to him, she put her paw around him but said nothing.
"Im going down to pay my last respects to him"
Chinook smiled at him*
"ok then, dont be to long.....i'll be waiting my love for you.
Akiak smiled and walked off.
He decided to take a longer way to the field down the side of the cliff, he stopped as he herd a noise...
A laughter came out of the bush, Akiak looked around.
"why hello there akiak"
"why Zac, what a pleasant surprise" other wolfs started to crowd Akiak, he looked around at the gang
"I see you still have your gang with you" Akiak growled at Zak.
"And it looks like you have nothing my friend" Zac said back with great anger, Akiak looked at him puzzled.
"Get him" Zac commanded the wolf, before Akiak could do anything he was jumped by six of Zacs Group members, Zac stood and watched the fight far back, Akiak fell to the floor in pain. Zac walked over to him.
"You loose old wolf, let someone else take alpha, and your lovely mate...chinook"he walked to Akiak and clawed the side of his face.
"Your finished, time to let someone young take the position of alpha" Zac turned around and kicked dirt in Akiak's face with his back legs.
"Come on guys! Demanded Zac, "leave him, he'll soon run off!
Akiak lied their bleeding and in pain but did not show it untill Zac and his crew were out of sight, he tried to stand up and walk away, the blood dripping from his face into his mouth, he got a far distance away and collapsed under a tree, gasping for breath.
