Derrick sniffed the air a few more times, trying to decide on which scent was the most appealing to him. The Rabbits didn't smell that good to him, so he ruled them out. The Moose smelt a little better than the rabbits, but not by much. Derrick continued sniffing until he picked up a scent. This scent smelt the best out of all of them, and thanks to his new senses, he knew exactly what Animal the scent was coming from: the wolves.
Derrick had loved wolves since he was little, and now that he was a wild boy, he knew where they were and that they would t harm him. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity! He began to walk in the direction of the scent, but quickly broke into a run to get there as soon as possible.
As he continued running, the smell grew stronger and stronger. He was getting close! After he ran about a mile, Derrick stopped in front of a small clearing in front the bottom of a cliff. The clearing was surrounded by trees, making it hard from people or other animals to know how to get in. A large cave was in the cliff side, serving as the wolves' den. The smell was eminating strongly from the den.
Derrick walked into the clearing and walked into the den, only to find a small pack of four wolves all feasting off of a large moose carcass.
"Thank God I didn't choose to be a moose," Derrick thought to himself.
The wolves stopped eating for a second and looked at Derrick, one of them, presumably the alpha, began barking at Derrick. Strangely though, Derrick could understand. Without giving it a second thought, Derrick walked into the den with the wolves and tore off a piece of the raw meat. Without thinking twice, he bit into the meat and began tearing it apart. The taste was indescribable! If this was what's Derrick was going to be eating, then he would be more than happy to be a wolf!
After a delicious, filling meal, Derrick had made his choice. Looking at the alpha wolf, he said, "I want to be a wolf like you."
The alpha wolf nodded, and barked a few times. Derrick translated the barks as "Submit to your alpha." He was a little confused at first, but then Derrick realized that all four wolves in the pack were all males, and they were all hard! Was that what the alpha meant by "submit"?
