Saydin

She was beyond angry, and this was the last straw. Saydin threw back her head and let loose her famous bone chilling howl, calling to her mate And what was that word, anyways? Mate. Suppsoed to love, but now that she got down to thinking about it... Saydin didn't love Kahvi. And she doubted that he loved her. Framed. Where was Framed? For the first time, Saydin was going to cleanse out her back. Starting with Kahvi. Then she'd throw out that bitch, that Honey, and all of her pups. Unless they proved themselves worthy. Who would stay? Who could stay? Diseased. Karitania. Their pups. But after that? Then what? She began to pace, waiting, waiting for her mate. He was going to die today. Shock the world. He was going down. then Honey. Then her pups. She thought of Razorblade, where had he gone off to? Was her entire pack full of traitors?

Kahvi

The massive white coywolf walked slowly over the fields of green grass and yellow flowers. It was once paradise. Paradise. Ha. Kahvi had lost his love for anything beautiful when his mother died.

It wasn't that Kahvi didn't love Saydin. It was that he didn't trust her. He loved her, but he felt that she didn't love him back. He felt that she only wanted him to sire her pups. He knew this was the time. Since the day Aurinka died, he knew his time was coming soon.

And so it would.

Auri, the little daughter of Kahvi and Saydin, an exact replica of her late grandmother, trotted beside her father. "Where are we going?" She asked.
"We're not going anywhere," came the father's voice.
"You're lying to me."
"No."
"But you're not telling the truth."
"Not the whole truth, no."
"Tell me what we're doing. Why are you sad?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Why not?"
"Because it will make you sad too. And you'll be scared."
"I won't. I promise I won't."
Kahvi sighed. "I'm going to the place your grandmother stays at."
"But it looks like you're just going to see Mom."
"I can't tell you any more than I already have."
"Because it will scare me."
"Because it will scare you."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Yes. Okay."

Their pace slowed as they got closer to Saydin, seeing her on the edge of the territory, but still far enough that she might have trouble hearing them.
"Listen, Auri," said Kahvi, "You have to go stay with Nightshade. Go and don't look back."
"What's really going on? Are we going to die?" Asked the pup.
"You're not."
"What about you, Papa?"
"I am."
By this point, the pup was sobbing.
"Listen, Auri. Go stay with Nightshade. She'll take good care of you. Always remember me."
"But why are you going to die?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Yes I would."
"No."
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Then tell me."
"Because your mother wants me to die."
"What?!"
"That's why. I told you why. Would you rather you hadn't begged me to tell you?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry."
"Me too."
"Auri, run and don't look back. Take your brothers and sisters."

With that, Kahvi nipped his daughter's ear lovingly and made his way to Saydin and stood in front of her. The sun beating down on them. "Saydin." He said icily. "You've left your print on the Valley, Saydin. I'm sure you know that all the creatures you've harmed will be after you when I go down. I loved you, Saydin. But you didn't love me." He stood there, towering over the smaller wolf. "Just don't kill me in front of my children."

Karitania & Pups

The howl had been for Kahvi, but the one that had called him drew Karitania like a moth to a flame. Saydin. She had been gone for a while, and Karitania had been concerned as to where she had gone. Had she given birth? Yes, she had, it was clear once Karitania set her eyes on her alpha, but where were they? That question lingered in the back of her mind as she settled herself into a thicket of trees, downwind of Saydin and Kahvi, far enough away to keep hidden from the alpha pair, but close enough to see what was happening. Something was wrong, it had been for a while, and clearly Saydin was going to do something about it. Was she going to do what she had confided to Kari not so long ago? Whatever the outcome, Karitania would remain at Saydin's side until death.

"Mom?" a small voice piped up from behind the tri-toned wolfess, and Karitania flicked an ear round to listen to the approaching padding of three sets of tiny paws. Karitania settled onto her belly, but was tensed as she watched Saydin and Kahvi. As she lay down, three of her latest litter bundled around her, settling into her fur. Harlan took a flying leap towards Sienna, tackling his sister and beginning a sparring match. Kirrick, however, lay beside her mother, her dark brown eyes fixated on the alpha duo. "That's your aunt Saydin." Karitania said quietly, then they both feel silent, both brown and amber eyes fixed on Saydin.

The newest additions to a powerful family.

Honey & others

Honey watched the scene but stayed put. Though she did over hear Kahvi talking to one of his children and well she didn't like it. The coyote wanted to protect Kahvi but knew that would probably be suicide. She sat down and kept her distance.

Kahvi and her, five kids st cloase bye.

Saydin

Her anger escalated, and right then and there she wanted to get it over with. Slaughter him, end it now. Love? LOVE?! Is that what you call it?! You went to Aydan, Kahvi. Many times, you went to Aydan behind my back. I loved you once, Kahvi, but no more. I won't have a traitor among my pack, even if it is my mate. She could feel a small piece of her dying on the inside at this. She could also sense them, the rest of her pack, all of them surrounding her to watch the stand off. Kahvi had to die. Teach them all a lesson. Fuck with her, and she'll make you think twice. You ruined everything Kahvi, everything I have worked for. I wanted a partner in crime, and I told you that. All you have done is tip toe around the issues, pine for lost children and your mother. What about our children? What about them. Her anger was getting to her, her eyes taking on that insane edge. All you do is protect your precious Nightshade. Never once have you taken any interest in Framed, or Razorblade. Your wrapped up in your own little world, and well Kahvi, I'm gonna show you just how fucked up your world really is. She lunged then, the quick little wolf going low. She sprang for his throat, wanting to get this done and over with before she changed her mind. Love could do scary things to a wolf.

Diseased had seen the entire thing, and in seeing it, he made his way silently towards Honey. As he reached the smaller canine, he spoke. I'd leave if I were you. If she catches you right now, she'll kill you and your pups as well. He had to deal with Saydin now, take care of her anger, take care of her rage, hush up the insanity. His eyes locked onto Karitania and his pups and he gave a soft sigh. He could never kill her, not even in his worst nightmare. He could only imagine how this would feel, the ultimate betrayal of Saydin.

Honey & Others

Honey watched and then looked to the male.She'll pay for whats she's doneShe spoke before standing up and nudging her children. She moved away from the pack that Kahvi had brought her too. She then waited far enough way for Nightshade. She refused to cry though she wanted to.

Kahvi

Kahvi bared his teeth at his 'mate.' "I loved you, but I couldn't let you be a murderer. I had to clean up after you." He stepped forward, towering over her. "Don't tell me that I didn't love my own children! I loved them, but they were yours. They were on your side. You kept me away from them, Saydin."

He stood, awaiting his death, taking a quick glance at those around him. "Is she who you call your leader? Killing the poor sap who cleaned up her mess? I trusted her. I trusted you. Now I'm being shown that I shouldn't have trusted anybody. Goodbye." With that, he yelped when the sharp, tearing pain hit his throat. Blood spurted out and the white coywolf fell to the ground, gasping and trying to stand back up. And then he was still.

"DAD! NO! DAD!" Auri screamed. Kobalt stood beside her, in sock, too scared to scream.

Paragon ran up to his father. "Dad...no... You can't leave me! Talk to me! Please!" He pleaded, sobbing.

Kalanchoe and Allium stood by their mother Honey, shaking and sobbing.

Nightshade soon arrived, tears pouring down her face. "Come..." She began, but she could barely speak. She looked at the limp, lifeless form of her father, then at her mother, Honey. "Come on. You...you can stay at my territory..."

Saydin

Anger hit her cold and hard. She glared down at her mates lifeless body, then stalked towards Nightshade and Honey. Get out. All of you. Paragon, Honey, Get. Out. Nightshade. If I ever see you again, I will kill you. It wasn't an idle threat. From day one, Saydin had hated the female. Now, she had nothing standing in her way of killing her. Karitania. Watch over the rest of the real pack. She expected Auri and Kobalt to leave as well, for why would they stay? Only the strong could live here. Saydin stalked out of the territory, heading somewhere quiet, where she could think.

Karitania

Neither Kahvi's words nor his death prompted any reaction from Karitania. She coldly watched him die, then simply nodded as Saydin left her in charge. Standing and leaving her pups in the thicket, Karitania approached Diseased and gently nuzzled him, before leaving to check on the rest of the true pack.

Aushwitz

Aushwitz had watched the whole commotion from a sitting position. He felt bad for Kahvi being killed by his mate, but Aush understood why it had to be done. Kahvi was a betrayer wasn't he? His eyes went to Karitania wondering if he was suppose to leave. Did Saydin think of him as a true member or a traitor? He waited quietly wondering what fate had upon him.

Diseased

Diseased made his way through the pack, beginning his own cleansing. Those who had shown more favor towards Kahvi were leaving, those who had followed Saydin stayed. Boy, the pack sure was downsizing, wasn't it? He made his way towards Aushwitz next, and he stood before the dog. You may stay for now. I have seen nothing from you that demands attention. Prove me wrong, I kill you myself. And I won't be quick about it like Saydin was. The alphess's brother then made his way towards his mate and pups, giving each of them a gentle nuzzle. IT aws hard to see him as a father, as a leader, as being strong, all at the same time. But he was here, and he was never backing down.

Karitania

Karitania stalked to the center of the terratory and let out a howl. "All those who remain faithful to Saydin may remain. All those who look to Kahvi's dead body and mourn will leave. Trechery is not tolerated. Loyalty is paramount. Those who are loyal, report to me now."

With Karitania were some of her latest brood, Harlan, Sienna and Kirrick, and they were joined by three more of her offspring, Nero, Vayelle and Rune. There was no doubting that herself, Diseased and their children were loyal to Saydin.

Honey

Honey watched from a distance till her daughter came over and she nodded following her daughter and just baring her fangs at Saydin as she left.

Aushwitz

Aushwitz went to the center showing his loyalty to Saydin. He knew that Diseased wasn't joking, but Aush had nothing to hide. He was completely loyal. The pitbull sat down near the others quietly.
