Shadow Star & Caritha

It had taken some time for Shadow Star to backtrack, and by the time the young wolf had made it back, Aizen's howl had summoned him to the border of their packlands. Fear began to riddle his mind, and he mentally kicked himself for ever leaving Cynical alone in the first place. With an anxious whine, he approached his alpha, head low and eye full of worry. "Aizen, what happened? I smell dogs, and human."

Caritha was already there, standing near her father with her dark hackles raised. Blood marred her face and one of her forelegs, but the wounds were nothing to slow her down. Looking harshly to Shadow, she spoke, "They took her while you were gone. The two-legger brought hounds, and overpowered us." Part of her wanted to give him a good snap for having left, but she knew that anger was missplaced. Turning away from the cowed Shadow, she looked back to her father, waiting on his word for their next move.

Kennik

Kennik had been completely out of the territory during the whole ordeal, and hadn't known anything was awry until Aizen's war howl had been made. The alabastor wolfdog had high-tailed it back to the territory after that, and arrived panting in front of Aizen and the others.

He was quick to note that Cynical was not present, and that Caritha looked furious and agitated; something had happened to her sister, then. Scenting the two-legged hunter and his hounds, it didn't take much to connect the dots. Deciding it was best to hold his tongue when everyone looked so upset and on edge, Kennik remained quiet and simply waited for Aizen to give the orders.

Aizen

Aizen paced We must find all the allies we can get, I know where this human lives and I intend on killing him and his mangy currs . But we'll need all the power we can get. I sent a howl up hoping the haunters might come and aide us as well

Shadow Star & Caritha

Shadow's head remained as low as his spirits. His plume didn't give so much as a wag as Kennik arrived. Wanting to do something to make up for his absence during his pack's time of need, the young wolf hesitantly offered, "I could ask my parents for assistance. I.. haven't seen them in some time, but they and my siblings might be willing to help. They live in the Sonnet Forest." He wasn't sure how they'd respond to him after being gone so long, and without so much as a visit, much less how responsive they'd be to this hunt. But it was worth a shot, and they needed all the help they could get.

Caritha had begun to pace during this time. A low growl reverberated in her chest when her father mentioned killing the human and his dogs, and she found herself nodding in agreement to his words.

Kennik

Attacking humans wasn't something Kennik was entirely comfortable with, having been raised among the Delvers who couldn't afford to anger the humans they resided so close to. On the other paw, he couldn't stand back and let a fellow packmate be abducted and do nothing about it, so the alabastor wolfdog had an offer of his own for Aizen, "I could seek out my own family, and maybe ask the Shadow Lurkers for their help? I don't know how willing they'd be to attack a human, but they are at least knowledgeable about two-leggers."
