The wolf

The wolf trotted around in the snow. He was the leader, and if any wolf challenged him, the pack formed a circle around the fighters. First to fall, first to die. The pack was currently teasing an omega (wolves of the lowest rank in a pack.) wolf. They nipped and growled, occasionally even biting fiercely. The alpha(boss wolf) was fighting a wolf that challenged him. Charging in, the alpha pretended that he was attempting the old shoulder-but -really-the-throat trick, but at the last moment his jaws snapped shut on one of the offender's hind legs, breaking it. The opposing wolf faced him on three legs. The alpha repeated the trick and broke the other hind leg. The other wolf struggled to keep on all fours, but at last tumbled to the ground. Every wolf except the alpha instantly leaped on the bad guy and killed him.

The alpha was a black wolf.
