Question

The rival wolf pack came from far away. The valley wolves were no match for the invaders. They left their den and kept a safe distance between themselves and these enemies. There wouldn't be enough food in the area to sustain two wolf packs. What would the valley wolves do? It seemed as though their only choice was to move on.
Kato, the leader of the valley wolves, rallied his pack and led them in search of a new home. Drake and Lily howled mournfully as they stood on top of the ridge looking down into the fertile valley that had been an abundant provider and the place where they had raised their cubs.
Kato kept moving, not stopping to look back. He knew it was useless to lament the loss of their home. His only thought was that they could find a place to regain their strength and their numbers and then return one day to reclaim their homeland.
