Pyre

Pyre had been here long enough to know that they wouldnt take shit from him or one of them would be alpha. He walked along the border and a thought shot through his mind. He took off running to the clearing he had been in. Looking around he smirked. ''Time for a pack meeting'' He said to himself. It would give him a chance to meet everyone. He pulled his head back and howled his howl the strong beautiful howl he owned. He then waited for them. The members of Silver Glades to come and meet their alpha

Tanya & Others

It wasn’t long before the first couple of members answered the alpha’s call. It probably wasn’t a surprise that it was the older members that showed up first, knowing it wouldn’t be long before one was called from their experience. Tanya, a white coated fea, with a lighter white chest entered first with her siblings and cousins. Chocolate orbs were alert as she sat down to wait for the brute to say what he had to. Leah has a very leggy, lanky build, though she is not exceptionally swift or agile. Her color is snowy with, with a few faint sprinkles of gray here and there throughout the upper portion of her coat, and a ridge of black around her hackles. Mustard yellow colored orbs stared at the new alpha. Renay‘s grizzled in color, mostly with black and dark gray mixed in, with a creamy white under coat. There is a slight ruddy tinge to the fur on her back and haunches. Blue jewels were watchful as she waited to see what was going on. Selany looks a good deal like her mother, except she has more white in her overall coloration, while her ears are tipped in black and her face is mostly a mixture of dark and light grays rather than tans and browns. Her eyes are golden. Sylena’s build is reminiscent of her father, but her color is entirely different from either parents. Being a dark, brown-gray over all, her paws are all white with black nails. Her eyes are honey yellow. Jenner has a longer build than the others, with particularly short legs, and tall, triangular ears that give her almost a foxy look. Her base color is white, with brown and black patches over her back, shoulder, and head. Her eyes are steel gray. Skif, Ghost, Twilight, Angela, and Arrow showed up as well.

The second group soon came into view, and much like the first they were together as they flowed in the meeting as groups of two, threes, some fours. These wolves were about Pyre’s age, young adult wolves. The two offsprings of Leah’s, Fallon and Atticus, came in together to stand with their pack mates. Fallon is average in build, her color is a medium gray with a few white hairs thrown in along her face and chest. She has light mustard colored eyes. Atticus, on the other hand, is by far the larger of the litter. He will weigh in at about 160lbs when fully grown, his color is black along his spine and fades to a silvery gray as you go down his sides. His legs are white and his face is white as well. His eyes are a butter yellow. Renay’s children, Destiney, Fern, and Styx, were next in entering the clearing. Destiney is solid black in coloring. She also takes after her father’s build minus his coyote-like tail. Her eyes, though, are a striking blue in color. Fern is a grizzled gray in color. Though, she has a good bit of brown thrown in with the grays giving her a more brownish appearance. Her legs and underbelly fade to a light tan and she has green eyes. Styx is mainly black, though he has some gray hairs sprinkled along his spine and shoulders. His build is one that is made for strength. He also has his father's coyote-like tail and elongated muzzle. His eyes are butter yellow.

Selany’s only child, Sol, came in with Sylena’s children. Sol is almost entirely white in coloration, though he has some gray and black sprinkled along his back, face, and shoulders. He has golden eyes like his mother. Sylena’s children, Mercy, Zephyr, and Ember, settled down near where the alpha stood. Mercy is the same dark brown-gray color of her mother. Though, her undersides will be a dazzling white. Her eyes are a bright yellow color. Zephyr is pitch black in coloration like his father and is pretty much an exact copy of him. His eyes are the same butter yellow and he has the same tail and facial features. Ember is dark tan in color with some darker brown hairs grizzled in to his fur. His legs and belly fade to a creamy light tan. His eyes are the same color as his mother's at a honey colored. Jenner’s children, Calypso, Aliya, Torch, and Azule, were the last to show up. Calypso is also white in color, with black patches along her back and sides. Her ears are also dipped in white as is her tail. She has the same foxy features as her mother, with her tall triangular ears. She will always be smaller in build, very slender. Her eyes are butter yellow. Aliya is almost the opposite of her sister, she is pitch black in color with a thick band of white hairs along her spine, a white patch on her chest and three white 'socks'. She takes a coyote-like build from her father's side of the family, though not entirely. Her eyes are a dull yellow. Torch is the largest of the litter, and his figure is all pure muscle. He is short and squat, with a thick black coat. His eyes are steel gray. Azule is somewhere in the middle of his parents, being a light to medium gray in color with black patches all over his body. His belly and chest are white. He is of average build. They all sat and waited, most staying silent while a few exchanged words among themselves.

Pyre, Kirk &Esme

The alpha stood looking among his pack members. He realized his sister and brother would be showing soon. He gave a smile and a nod to each one of them before looking around again as two wolves showed up after the last ones. He smiled ''Everyone, as you may all know I am the new alpha, my name is Pyre. We will be setting new ranks soon. I must get to know all of you before I decide, but I will decide in what you all do. Pack hunts, how you act. It will determine on most of that.'' he said. The two wolves that had come in last one pure White with ice cold blue eyes and the other black with specks of white on his back and dark brown eyes. The black one named Kirk the white female named Esme. Pyre nodded to them. ''Pyre, it has been long brother.'' Kirk said and looked around. He still stayed where he was but Esme moved forward, not afraid. She gave a friendly wolf hug ''It has,'' she said and paused turning. ''Nice pack you have, they all seem nice. I am Esme sister to Pyre, but dont think he will show me more admiration then one of you, he will choose wisley and give you all the ranks you deserve'' she said.

Kirk, still nervous, got up. ''And I am Kirk, brother to Pyre, all of you will be good to the pack, more wolves, more strength for y'all's borders and pack.'' he said. Sitting back where he was he looked at Pyre who nodded and looked at them all. ''All who wish to be in the hunting party come forward and speak your name. All who dont, stay put til I get the party searched out. You may talk to Esme or Kirk to ask any questions or you may come talk to me.'' he said. Turning to the rest he smiled.

Sweetclover & Others

A little late to the gather, Sweetclover and her mate Taiser joined the rest of the pack in the clearing. A big female, Sweetclover and her thick white coat made her appear considerably larger than Taiser, who was slighter in build and with a coat carried more tan and and grey colors mixed into it. Traveling behind her was her brother Phelan, a dark black brute with a meek, timid personality. He stood beside his sister as she joined Tanya and the others in listening to Pyre. She still wasn't quite sure what to make of their new alpha, but she was looking forward to the meeting that he'd called for.

Showing up shortly after this group, Aakasi, Drake, and Mandragoro - all offspring of Sweetclover and Taiser from different litters - soon came forward to mingle in with the pack. The siblings tended to stick together, and did so now as they sat down and turned their eyes and ears to Pyre, and the siblings of his that showed up. "Hey, who're those two?" Drake, the wispy looking, grizzle-coated hybrid murmured to Aakasi as he watched Kirk and Esme. She responded by pinning her ears back and giving her brother a shove with her muzzle, "Shhh, pay attention!" Drake grumbled under his breath but returned his attention to Pyre and his siblings.

By the time Pyre was finished with introductions and had spelled out his plans for the pack, Sweetclover was among the first to step forward. The seven year-old hybrid had been in this pack since she was a pup, she felt supremely confident here, new alpha or not. "My name is Sweetclover." Though she held herself proudly, the fae didn't allow her tail or head to raise too high, not wanting to challenge Pyre's authority. "It's a pleasure to meet you both." Her greeting and smile were for Kirk and Esme. Taiser followed his mate forward, simply giving his name to show that he was participating in the hunt, "Taiser." And after him, the rest of their children advanced forward, each giving their names...

"Drake." Said the long-bodied male, and the smallest of the siblings.
"Aakasi." The white-coated sister, with a mask of gray on her face, was second.
"Mandragoro." The eldest brother, and easily the largest, Mandragoro's voice was deep and power.
"Phelan." Uncle of the previous three, Phelan inched forward with his tail held very low, and his own voice rather quiet and shy.

Esme and others

Pyre nodded ''Thank you, all of you for going on the pack hunt.'' he paused ''Sweetclover, you will be in charge of the hunt. Kirk, go with them...'' he paused once more turning his attention to Kirk. ''Respect them, Kirk or I will kill you!'' he said, now much sweeter he turned back to Sweetclover ''If he disrespects any of you or just you and doesnt obey tell me and ill deal with him.'' he said. Esme looked around. ''It is nice to meet all of you, I hope in time my brother will have this pack flourishing again. But until then I hope he will choose wisely of who gets which rank.'' she said. Kirk growled at his brother but stopped as Pyre was alpha not him. ''Yes sir'' he said. He looked at the wolves who were going on the pack hunt and waited. Esme walked around looking at the clearing. She then walked around greeting each of the wolves. She smiled warmly to them. Truth be told, she was a friendly wolf and was always nice. She looked at Pyre and smiled as he called her over. ''I need you to stay here in the pack lands for a while, just til I get the pack up and running again.'' he said. Esme nodded ''But im not being a high rank. I want to stay an Omega. Let someone else who deserves a high rank let them.'' she said. She then moved away and sat near the others.

Tanya & Others

Tanya paid attention as Pyre smiled and nodded at each of the wolves in the clearing, and she returned the greeting with her own nod. Soon he was speaking, introducing his name, saying ranks will be given, and how he will decide them, all the usual pack stuff. Before anyone could respond, two lone wolves showed up a ivory femme and a black and white titan. Pyre seemed to know them, for gave them a nod, and the brute called their new alpha brother. The femora moved forward, closer to the already members of the pack to give her brother a hug. Then she continued speaking by saying nice pack you have, making her want to bristle her fur a little, but she restrained herself from doing so. This nice pack could hear her, and Tanya didn’t like being discussed about like she was some trophy, even if the other wolfess meant no harm. A polite enough small nod was given as she finished speaking, saying how the ranks would be deserved and crap. Kirk, the brother of Pyre, finally spoke, and the guy seemed nervous to her. However, she found herself looking back to Pyre when the demon spoke once again. A pack hunt…sounded interesting. She was one of the first to step forward, around the same time as Sweetclover, who had finally arrived with her family, and she shot her pack member a grin. This hunt would be fun, a time for new pack members to find their place among the older ones. Mainly just Kirk and Esme really, everyone else already had their places really. Like Sweetclover she held herself with some pride, even though her form was held a little lower than Sweetclover, to give the older femme respect.

Tanya, and like Sweetclover said, it’s good to meet our new alpha’s siblings.

Taiser, Sweetclover’s mate, spoke up next, and then their children, and Sweetclover’s brother all added their names to show they were going. Somebody had to stay behind to guard the lands…From experience she knew a lot of young wolves weren’t good for a hunt, and they had a few already. Experience would be needed when they would probably have to split up to take down more than one beast. Looking to her siblings’ children, her neices and nephews, her orbs conveyed a message to them, and them alone, so it wouldn’t look like she was challenging Pyre. By not giving official orders, she wasn’t undermining him, and she was sure they would be just as happy to stay behind and guard the borders incase something happened. The young wolves were always looking for drama.

Renay
Skif
Sylena
Selany
Leah
Jenner
Ghost
Twilight
Angela
Arrow

Tanya could hear Arrow ask the alpha if the latter of the four could leave the packlands to search for more members for the pack, since enough wolves were going hunting and were guarding the border. It seemed like a good idea to her. Pyre spoke again, drawing her attention away from her family as she looked to him. Sweetclover was suppose to be in charge of it, something she wasn’t surprised about and actually thought was a good idea. Kirk, his brother was suppose to be going as well. He seemed a little dramatic by saying he had to respect them or he would kill them. That is until she heard his growl as he came to join the group waiting to leave, and she couldn’t help but lift her lips to expose her fangs in warning. The guy seemed to remember his place and that Pyre was king, so she calmed down.

Fern laughed softly as Drake was reprimanded by Aakasi, her vocals soft so the alpha probably wouldn’t hear, although the closer wolves would. The younger wolves, seeing Drake, Aakasi, and Mandragoro, greeted their fellow pack members with smiles and nods, and the closer ones like Destiney, Fern, and Styx greeted them with words of greeting. Normally they would have tried for further discussion, but it was their turn for introduction. This group, however, weren’t going on the hunt, instead they would remain behind with Esme and Pyre to guard the borders.

Fallon
Atticus
Destiney
Fern
Styx
Sol
Mercy
Zephyr
Ember
Calypso
Aliya
Torch

When Esme sat near her new pack members, she happened to settle down beside Calypso, Aliya, Torch, and Azule, who all made sure to greet her warmly so she wouldn’t feel unwanted.

Pyre, Kirk &Esme

Pyre looked at Esme and smiled at the wolves she sat next to. ''Now that I know all of you, ill make sure to respect anothers mind even if I am alpha'' he said. Kirk waited for them so they could get on with the hunt, thats when Pyre spoke to Arrow, ''Yes you four may'' he said. He turned his attention to Kirk for a split second giving him a warning glance. Esme watched Kirk, turning back to the ones she sat next to. ''Its a pleasure to meet you all, Calypso, Aliya, Torch and Azule. What strong and beautiful names you all have'' she said. She smiled and looked at Pyre as he walked passed, turning. ''This meeting is at an end. All of you do what is asked. Tanya, you will lead the pack hunt with Sweetclover. Now everyone get to the orders. The rest protect the borders and get to know Esme while shes here, or you can come to me and get to know your alpha.'' he said. Esme slightly tensed. Their mother and father would be proud of Pyre. Not so much Esme as she was the runt of the three but not now, oh no, she was equal to her brothers.

Sweetclover & Others

Sweetclover cast her eyes to the side, watching Tanya approach. The side of her lips were drawn up in a brief grin to the female, returning the gesture and giving a small wag of the tail in mutual greeting to her friend. Then it was back to observing the large pack, listening as members called out their names, and as individuals separated themselves to either join with the hunt, or remain behind to watch over the pack and get to know Esme and Pyre. As the discussion winded down and came to a close, Sweetclover was happy to have Tanya added as a co-lead to the hunt, which would be greatly needed if the two faes were to organize and direct so many canines today. "We'll need to target large game, if we're to feed so many mouths." She started, speaking quietly to her friend, and seeking her opinion, "There could be pregnant does sheltering in the lowlands here, or-"
"Can we go to the beach?" Drake broke in, then promptly pinned his ears back when his mother gave him a reprimanding look. "...I was just gonna say, um... sometimes big fish and animals wash up on the shore. Like those seals."
Mandragoro, after having greeted Fern and the others, had moved closer to his parents and Tanya as they prepared to set out on their hunt. "Humans tend to be in that area too. We'd be safer hunting further away from the filthy two-leggers."

Pyre, Kirk &Esme

Kirk looked at them listening. ''Sorry to burst anything here but, how about Tall Grass Prairie? Im new here but i know my places.'' He said. He looked at Sweetclover and Tanya waiting their answer. ''There could be big prey there'' He added. Pyre had been watching and gave Kirk an approving nod as he looked at the others. He ended up by Fallon and Atticus. He greeted them and smiled. Esme glanced at him. Her brother wasnt that social with younger wolves. But he was doing good. She looked to the wolves she was sitting by waiting for their answer.

Tanya & Others

Tanya was silent as Pyre spoke of respecting his pack members even though he was above them in rank. Perhaps this brute wouldn’t be so bad, and she wouldn’t have to worry about her family and friends. Once Arrow and his three companions were given permission, they each gave a respectful bow before heading to the city areas near the dumps and such, knowing that strays looking for better homes were there. Tanya noticed how her new alpha kept giving glances to his brother, and she couldn’t help but wonder if he was a trouble maker. Her gaze went to Sweetclover who had grinned at her and Tanya’s own tassel switched from side to side for a moment. Hearing her name being spoken she looked to Pyre, who had just called the meeting to a close, say she was to help lead the hunt. Sweetclover and her would be co-leaders on the hunt, and this would make it even more fun and easier to handle all the other wolves going. Twin white towers and her soul gates looked to Sweetclover as she quietly addressed Tanya about where they would hunt. She was right about the large game and lots of wolves to feed, their pack could probably scare others into giving them their lands with just the sight of them. The lowland sounded good to her as well, that is until Drake broke in. Tanya smiled at his willingness to help, but was about to reject when Mandragoro spoke of the problem of humans. A nod was given, another point that would see them better at the lowlands.

Thank you Drake, for trying to help, but Mandragoro is right, the humans would be a problem with our large numbers and the prey may be sick. It would be easier- Her voice cut off as she heard Kirk speak up, saying he was sorry to interrupt and suggest the Tall Grass Prairie. Smiling she shook her head before she spoke. The lowlands would be better, the females will be slow since they are pregnant, so we wouldn’t have to exert so much energy in the hunt. Plus there is more food in them being fattened up. I agree with Sweetclover, the lowlands are better.

Calypso looked to Esme as she greeted and complimented their names. She raised an eyebrow at the other wolfess before rising to start walking forth. Her words weren’t overly friendly like Esme, but it wasn’t anywhere in the least cool or harsh either. Thanks, I guess. Smiling, Aliya came forth, her words and voice sweet. Don’t mind Calypso, she’s not used to such overly kindness and compliments like that. Well, none of us are, but she can be headstrong, and has gotten into trouble for it many times. A grin was given at this point as she tried to sooth Esme if she felt insulted by her sibling, who hadn’t really known how to react. Torch and Azule began to follow after Calypso, although Azule called over his shoulder. Come on Aliya, we have to patrol. Esme your welcome to join us so you can get to know the territory and us, along with us getting to know you. Aliya had noticed Esme’s tense but made no comment or sign that she did as she followed after her siblings. Fern was glad to see that Mandragoro at least returned their greeting. Drake just left to go assist the other wolves without even a later. Green orbs soon brought her attention to her mom, aunts, uncle, and Sweetclover’s family as she approached the hunting party. Her form rubbed against some of them as she wished them silent luck and safe return before she soon headed out to guard the borders. She knew her litter siblings wouldn’t be far behind. Styx simply bid his Uncle Skif and his mother, Renay, a safe trip home before he took off after Fern. Destiney’s striking blue orbs traveled around the clearing before she stood and greeted her mother goodbye and her aunt Tanya. A respectful nod was given to Sweetclover before she aimed a smile at Aakasi and her siblings and then followed after her own brother and sister. Sweetclover’s children were lucky she figured, being able to go and hunt with the older wolves. She didn’t let it get her down though, she knew there would be more hunts. Sol, Mercy, Zephyr, and Ember followed after Fern and the others, deciding to double the patrol.

Fallon and Atticus looked to Pyre as he greeted them. Atticus found it strange that a wolf their age was leading such a huge pack. Pyre, being young and all, how- He cut himself off when he turned to look at Fallon who was looking at him with angry light yellow lampages. Her wasn’t able to stare her down for long before looking away. Never mind. That was all he said before Fallon spoke to the alpha. My name is Fallon and this is my brother Atticus, incase all the names confused you at first. She smiled, trying to be social without feeling the pressure of knowing she couldn’t talk to this brute like a normal pack member.

The others soon left as well, although most of the small grouped wolves simply stayed in the inner part of the territory, to do patrols later when the others tired and such.

Kirk, Esme, & Pyre

Kirk nodded. He was uneasy since he wasnt used to big packs like this and the fact if he made one wrong move, Pyre would have his throat. Truth be told, Kirk was scared of his older brother. He then just sat and waited patiently. His fur on end looking scared. He calmed himself down and noticed Pyre never took his eyes off him until a couple of wolves came up to him. Esme nodded, It ok, some of the others in our old pack never took compliments and just smart mouthed. So some of us tried getting to them to soften up but none of that will be happening here I guess, since my brother, Pyre, has hardened since the last time me and Kirk saw him, be careful around him though he will snap one day and there will be no holding him back. She said. She felt herself tense when Pyre's eyes landed on her. She quickly followed the others. Sure, anything to get out of Pyre's watchful gaze. She said following the others, though she never stopped to wish her brother Kirk good luck she just kept walking. She found herself looking at her paws as she passed Pyre who growled just a bit as she passed. She looked up Pyre just because your alpha doesnt make you leader of what I do! Just tend to your pack and leave me alone out of your stupid gaze! She snapped at him, in his face. As two wolves came up she hesitated and followed the others. Once out of the clearing she walked by Aliya. We're not used to such a big pack like this, I know Pyre can handle it though not so sure me and Kirk will be staying long enough to get used to it. She said loud enough for all of them to hear.

Pyre looked at Atticus and smiled a little and then looked at Fallon. He nodded Nice to see you two. He looked to Atticus now and spoke Atticus, I couldnt help but over hear you speaking. What was it you said. How- what? Finish your sentence and you shall have an answer. He said. He smiled friendly You wont get into trouble with me he explained. He waited for an answer from one of them

Sweetclover & Others

Like Tanya, Sweetclover was silently starting to take notice of the constant glances that Pyre was turning to his siblings, particularly Kirk. The death threat the young brother got from the outset, whether it an exaggerated warning or not, further suggested to Sweetclover that there was some tense history between these three wolves. What questions lingered in her mind were answered to some extent when her keen ears caught Esme explaining the problems of their old pack, and she would have been interested in asking the other she-wolf more about it, but Esme and her group were soon moving out, and Sweetclover didn't want to delay the hunt anyway. The last thing she noted was the growl from Pyre and the warning snap from Esme before the fae left the area, which prompted Clover to keep an eye on Pyre's behavior for a little while.

Sweetclover's attention soon shifted back to the hunt, "If our hunting party wasn't so large, the Prairie would be a good option, but it would be too difficult to get near our prey without them seeing so many of us approach." With Tanya's support on the decision, their hunting location was confirmed, and Clover took the first steps in leading the group towards the lowlands. Drake stayed silent, after briefly looking up to Tanya and her gentle rebuttal of his idea. Personally, he wanted to go out and see the ocean, but he wasn't going to try and argue against the two lead she-wolves right now. Mandragoro fell in line behind his mother, with Aakasi, Phelan, and Taiser each filing into a coordinated bunch. They each gave passing nods or meaningful looks to Destiney as their other packmember headed off in another direction.

Tanya & Others

Aliya glanced sharply at Esme when she spoke of her old members not taking compliments and bad mouthing. No, she doesn’t bad mouth. Calypso tends to do what she thinks is best for others, even though we may not see eye to eye upon it, and it sometime gets her in trouble. She’s headstrong, but her heart is in the right place. As for your brother snapping, I hope your wrong, stuff like that isn’t really tolerated here if it could harm the pack. The other goddess seemed to be really nervous or scared of her brother, and already she felt protective of the other femora. Nodding, she continued on trying to lead her new friend away. That is until Pyre caused trouble with a low growl. Esme hadn‘t done anything. An answering growl beside Esme had her glancing to see Calypso. Her sister must have returned to see what had been keeping them. Her sister’s ebony and mostly ivory pelt was on the verge of bristling, as her slender, foxy feminine form came to a stop half way beside Esme and half way in front of her. Small triangular ears were slightly pricked against her head, as she found herself speaking after Esme’s words. You can punish me if you want, but you won’t mistreat a member for doing what you told them to do, family or not. Butter yellow orbs never left his gaze. Calypso waited until Esme made it out of the clearing with her mostly ebony colored sister, with some white on her spine, chest, and three of her legs before following. Torch and Azule were waiting where she told them to, and she soon joined her siblings and Esme as they made their way to the border. Hearing Esme talking to Aliya, she found her voice filling the air. Don’t let him get to you, you and Kirk have done nothing wrong yet. Esme, you shouldn’t let anyone intimidate you when you are in the right. She could see Aliya nodding silently with what she said.

Atticus looked to Pyre when he smiled a little at them. It was easy for the brute to return the nod, and return the greeting, but he felt cornered when questioned upon his words. If only Fallon had known to stop him from the beginning, now he realized he could get in trouble for question the alpha. Feeling his sister’s pelt against his own, he found himself answering. How you can lead a pack as big as ours, being so young like us? Fallon watched Pyre, daring him to go back on his words with her only sibling.

Tanya had noticed the further tension as well, but she choose to ignore it for now and continue with the hunting plans. She had noticed Drake’s wish to go to the ocean, and she put that to the back of her mind. Perhaps with their alphas permission, a small group could go and search the area later for information or something. The goddess would think of something, but for now she followed after her pack members to the Tabumrot Scar. She wished her niece Destiney well in return as they left, and she saw the younger lass smiling as she chased after her siblings. Destiney couldn’t wait until Aakasi and her siblings returned to learn how everything went.

Esme and others

Esme nodded at Calypso's words. ''I shouldnt, but, he would....Never mind, thank you Calypso, for helping me. She said. She continued on and looked at Aliya. Esme felt herself shrink down like a little pup. Even though she wasnt shrinking down and shivering. She still felt small. She walked next to Calypso. Every now and again she would brush against her fur in a friendly gesture. If they were all willing to stand up for her, then she might stay. She smiled and nodded. ''If all of you are willing to stand up for just one wolf like me, then I might stay.'' She said. She looked around at all of them and smiled. She felt like she was at home, real home. If they didnt accept Pyre she would challenge him. Then he couldnt growl at her or she would have his head.

When Calypso growled at Pyre he had stood back. He knew they wouldnt take any of this. Thats why he stood back. He was surprised that Calypso even stood up for Esme. No one back home did, so why here? He turned to Atticus and Falon. ''Well, that I dont know. Maybe soon we will all see why. He said. Even to himself he felt like he might not be able to do it. But he told himself he would be able to, so he was going to.

Kirk followed behind the other. Staying close to the outside on the far side away from Pyre. All this ruling hes done has got to his head. Maybe. Kirk just followed the rest, head down, shoulders looked like he was a lion. Kirk shook his head as he followed them ''Come on Kirk, get your head out of the clouds and keep up! If they stood up for Esme then they'll stand up for you!'' He said, hoping no one herd.

Sweetclover & Others

Sweetclover started out at an easy lope, pacing herself in front of the group, while making room for Tanya to travel beside her if the other fae wished. With her ears tuned forward, she didn't quite hear what Kirk had mumbled as he trailed further behind the group, but Drake caught the words and gave Aakasi a nudge with his muzzle. As she turned to him, he shared a look with her and nodded his head vaguely back at the other male, causing her to lift her muzzle and look back over her shoulder at Kirk. She'd heard him too, but hadn't put much thought into it. "Nevermind, Drake. Focus on the hunt." Even as she said this, the gray-masked female pondered Kirk's mutterings, and what she'd seen and heard between Esme and Pyre.

Calypso & Others.

Calypso was mostly silent as Esme spoke up to all of them. She didn’t object as her new pack member walked beside her, and she soon found herself speaking again. No thanks needed, I won’t stand for someone being mistreated for doing what they were told. Calypso was willing to stand up for anyone mistreated, the others usually just let the more dominant wolf do whatever they wanted. Aliya came up to whisper in Esme ear, so her siblings wouldn’t here. I’m surprised Calypso didn’t get in trouble. The other adults would have punished her for sticking up to the alpha like that. Perhaps your brother is thinking of one? There was slight worry to her whispered tones for her sibling. Calypso too, wondered if she would be punished, but it wasn’t for long because she really didn’t care.

Atticus and Fallon watched in silence as Calypso stood up to Pyre, a little shocked when he didn’t put her in her place. When he turned back to them and answered Atticus, they didn’t really know how to respond. What was you pack like before? This time Fallon questioned him, the she-wolf had built up enough courage to do so.
