Peregrine

The beta sauntered into the pack lands, wondering where Night had gone too. He had gone to the Wolf Center... but, maybe the humans spoked them or something... in any case, he couldn't find his friend and so he returned to his home.

The scent of the felines was still strong. Peregrine debated on whether he should go to the Den or not. No, he wouldn't bother anyone right now. Everything had seemed to settle down; he didn't know about the war that had gone on or the potential for new, temporary wolves to the pack. And maybe enemies, who knew. He also didn't know that his son, Tornado, had a vengance against Ghost, an sort of ally or something to some pack members here.

Vevisca

The wolf slunk silently over the ground, startling easily over the slightest noises or movements. His left eye was damaged beyond use and darkening blood stained much of his face, althought the bleeding had nearly stopped by now. Most of his coat was off-white and very pale tan, but with dark gray and black markings over his back. It was good for areas that filtered sunlight and had shadow as well.

Vevisca had somehow lost track of Spirit, but had picked up on the vaguely similar scent of this pack. He certainly didn't smell Spirit anymore, but knew this must be the right pack. He traveled uncertainly over the boarder and glanced back several times to see if Namir was behind him or not. More than once, he collided with a little sapling or other object by doing this.

Namir

The cougar padded without noise behind his friend. He was nearly the size of a wolf now and quite filled out with muscle and a lush, winter coat. Picking up on Vevisca's increasing nervousness, Namir slid up beside him, staying to his left side to help guide him from obsticals. A chill went down his spine when he picked up the strong odor of other felines; ones he had never seen before, but had smelt now and than.

Peregrine

Perergrine quickly caught wind of the two and rushed across the ground with great intent. He came to a halt a few yards inhead of the duo and gave a low, quick bark to summon their attention. His tail was held high, but not high lick an alpha's.

His neck was arched slightly and his fur was raised. "Who are you two? What business do you have here?" he questioned suspisciously, being unnerved by the fact that there was a cougar too.

Spirit

The wolfess, whom had casually got herself lost when she was deep in thought, picked up the other's scents and raced towards them, smelling another and worried for their well being. She came in, her head at normal level, and in seeing the seeimingly Beta-Brute her voice rang out loud enough to slightly echo, startling herself. "I-We" She corrected, darting a glance to the Vevisca and Namir, "Have come here to speak with your alpha-" She hesitated. "-Dark-Star." She lifted her eyes to Peregrine's, no fear held withing them. Her poise held her statement like an order, but of course she had not meant it like that. Things would not go very smoothly once Tri-Tundra got back, that was for sure..........

Dark Star had heard the call, and was on his way to the lands now.

Kana

Hearing the unfamiliar call, Kana came out of the woods, tail and head held in the alpha position. Once she was close to them she was a bit surprised to see the cougar, but did not pay it much attention. She was used to big cats, sense she and her mate where good friends with snow leopards. Nodding once to Peregrine she caught what the wolfess said, "My mate will be here shortly, but sense he is not here at the moment, you can tell me what you want." She said calmly, but in an in-charge tone. Keeping her tail and head up she waited for a reply, her ice blue eyes staying on the three, the male wolf was obviously blind in one eye from fighting and nervous, that didn't give her a good feeling, the cougar looked uneasy, and that worried her slightly, and she did not like how the other fae ordered to see her mate. But that was the only thing she let show, that she did not like the fae giving orders, she was in now position to do so. Her fur was slightly bristled and she stood ready incase they tried to attack herself and Peregrine.

Spirit and Dark Star

Fae lowers her crania, realizing the discomfort of Kana. Obviously Spirit had not been under the rule of another in quite some time. She was not accustom to showing submission to any other than Cortinarri. She did not relax, however, her muscles stayed tense, incase an unexpected attack was issued. She lowered herself to the ground in front of Kana, speaking softly. "My buisness is truly with Dark Star, but I will discuss it with you also at his coming."

Alphen brute finally crossed onto central packland borders, tail raised and cricked slightly, crania lifted. Overlord's large paws land beside his mate, sod keeping his movements silent. He sat, but did not speak. A cryptic glare is cast upon the three before him, but he stares mainly at Spirit, thinking that his eyes must surely be decieving him. Ears go back, a low growl issuing forth, not looking to his mate yet. Obviously his request for her to stay and protect the pups had been dismissed, but he was almost estatic for her company. Hesitance was heavy in the air, he dared not yet break the silence. Eyes slowly shifted to his beta, issuing a nod for him to make sure no one moved closer to his mate. But all was silent.

Perergrine

He caught the glance and knew what was needed. Peregrine would protect either of them with his life if anything ever came to that. Peregrine allowed his fur to raise to its highest but let his head drop down more to let the others know he was no alpha. He justed wanted to show the strangers that they better not try anything.

Kana

Kana looked at her mate questioningly for a moment, wondering why he was being so protective, she could take care of herself. Turning her attention back to the other's she watched them closely, waiting for an answer.

Dark Star

Dark Star returned her glance, he had always been the protective type, had she not noticed? Still, he held his crania high, waiting for something from the others, but he knew naught what.

Vevisca

Vevisca dropped to the ground, tail between his legs. His ears were back and his teeth were shown just slightly in a form of a submissive 'smile'; a gesture he used to show he meant no harm, "My alpha told us to come here. Namir and I. I'm Vevisca." he shook his head, still rattled from the battle. "S-Spirit said we might be able to stay here? I mean, not permanently... but, until we get our pack back..." the wolf was obvious very wary and frightened, for he had never gone into another's territory before, besides one time when his alpha-fae pup-napped him. The pain from his eyes made him all the more frantic-like.

Kana

Kana had always known that Dark Star was the protective type, she just thought that maybe he was being a bit to protective of her. But she didn't let it bother her, she new he was that way and loved him for it. Turning to look at Vevisca as he spoke she sighed quietly, she had sympathy for the wolf, she understood how he was fealing.

Namir

Namir pinned his ears back and crouched on the ground. His poise may look like was about to pounce, but Namir was only trying to mimic his friend's submissive actions. The end of his tail swayed slowly from side to side and his golden eyes flickered from face to face.

Dark Star and Spirit

Brujo's eyes narrowed at the speech of Vevisca, eyes cast into a maliceful glare at Spirit. He disregarded Namir's actions, knowing that his intentions were to only submiss. He slowly stalked toward Spirit, a new, never-seen-before type of hatred on his face. Of this feeling, he had many kinds, but this was perhaps the foulest of his encounters. He looked to the other two, and motioned for them to stand, tired of seeing their 'loyalty', or at least their respect. He growled low to them, but this growl had no meaning other than that he was obviously unhappy about something. It was not them, but the wolf that he continued to slowly stalk towards.

Spirit lowered a bit to the ground, ears back, submissing but not to a great extent. "Dark Star, my pack needs to-"

But her plea was cut off. Dark Star snarled and pounced on top of her, harshly snapping his jaws around her scruff. "What treachery is this Spirit?" He spat, shoving her to the ground. He had done no immeadiate damage, but her fight wounds were shoved into roots and dirt.

Spirit winced, barking. "There is no treachery Dark Star! Do not doom my pack because of our past!" She cried out, almost defiant. It was obvious Dark Star was not pleased.

"It is NOT from the past I react, merely from dislike of YOU." He spat once again, but released his grasp and she backed away, flat on the ground in submiss. He growled. "It is not my place to tell you this, of course. When Tri-Tundra gets back, she will deal with you."

With that his attention finally turned to the other wolf, and him only. Without much regard for other's say, he barked. "Tell your alpha that we will consider your request, but I would rather one of them spoke with me of this, once they-heal?" He suggested, noting most of them had some slight wound. "Who is your alpha?" He questioned, calm now. He ignored Spirit, and she stayed hidden and oblivious to the things going on.

Kana

Kana was suprised by her mate's actions, but she was right beside him when he jumped on Spirit, snapping at the fae's sides, but just grazing the fur with her teeth. She did not know why her mate hated the she-wolf so badly, but she figured that Spirit had to have done something terrible for Dark Star to hate her, and for that, she hated her to. Once he backed away she fallowed, standing beside him.

Dark Star and Spirit

He gave a slight side glance to Kana, as if he was offended. Kana didn't know Spirit, this was Dark Star's buisness, but he was glad to have her backing him up. He awaited any action from the others.

Vevisca

Vevisca's eye widened in surprise and he made a quick side-step from Dark Star as he attack Spirit. At first, his body tensed in preparation for action, to defend Spirit. But his mind quickly dismissed the subconscious thoughts and the wolf stood very unnerved. Gulping hard, Vevisca shifted his gaze frequently, looking soley at the ground, "S-she, I mean, th-they are Cortinarri a-and Manov." he sputtered out quickly, hoping not to rile these alphas' aggression even more. "Cortinarri is too h-hurt to come. I-I don't know w-where Manov is." He turned his light eye once from Dark Star and Kana, then quickly settled it back to looking at the ground.

Kana

Kana did not mean to offend her mate, she was only trying to help. Listening to Vevisca she looked at her mate, she wasn't sure on what to do. Should they let the injured pack stay with them at there tt, or should the decline?

Dark Star and Spirit

He nodded, the name of Manov was farmiliar. "Yes...Tri-Tundra knows Manov." He shot a side-glance to Spirit, speaking directly to himself. "Odd." He then turned to them and spoke, making it breif. "If your alpha wishes to seek refuge for his pack here, then we shall meet to discuss it. So being, you may leave to tell him of my request. Meet at the-no wolf zone, perhaps? On the edge of a terrain?" He looked inquisitively, not knowing where they were staying right now.

Kana

Kana nodded in agreement, standing beside her mate. She watched and thought, wondering how they all tied together. But she starying silent, waiting for something to happen.

Vevisca

Vevisca nodded quickly, "I will go speak to them. S-sorry for intruding." The wolf nudged his young cougar friend and began to slink hurriedly away.

Dark Star and Spirit

He watched them dissappear into the distant trees, dense and unwelcoming as he, then pillars carry him away towards other urgent matters.
