I opened my eyes. Early morning sunlight was streaming into the den. As I looked around I found that my mother, father, and sister Katey still asleep. I shook my gray fur and padded out onto the ledge outside the den, where I could see the entire pack camp. My father is the Alpha male, so him and his family got the best den. From the ledge I could also see the mountains surrounding our territory, dotted with spruce forests and rock ledges, like our camp. My shadow fell on The Rock, were my father always stood during pack meetings. I had a perfect, normal pack life. What could go wrong?
