Pyre

Pyre padded on the border and into the territory. He was no longer alpha for now. But he would take his place back when he could. He padded around for a but before sitting and howling for anyone. He lowered his head now, and his body so he could lay on the ground. His head on his paws as he waited for anyone or everyone. It really didn't matter to him. He just needed someone to take his place til he was able to come back...

Calypso & others

Calypso, Fern, Destiney, and Mercy were among the first group to arrive, since they were nearby patroling the border already. The female was curious to know if he had finally decided on ranks and wondered which of the older wolves were going to get moved up in the pecking order.

Pyre, can we do a hunt soon? Calypso questioned the alpha.

Mercy and Fern started to groom each other while Destiney laid down and rested. They waited for the others to answer the howl of their alpha.

Pyre

Pyre looked at Calypso. When I'm alpha again... I will tell all about it when everyone gets here Pyre answered with gloomy eyes. His gaze went to the others then to his paws. He didn't want to not be alpha. He had grown fond of everyone here since he got here. So now it was hard for him to step down for a moon and let someone else lead til he could step up again. So now he waited for the others.

Sweetclover & Others

Sweetclover was followed by her mate Taiser, and at a greater distance, Aakasi and Phelan trailed after them. The pair drew up near Calypso, looking questioningly from her to Pyre, not sure what was going on. By the looks of it though, Pyre was not entirely happy, and that left Clover a little apprehensive about the message he had to deliver.

Phelan settled down a few feet from Mercy and Fern, while the bolder Aakasi went right up to her packmates and joined them in grooming.

Pyre

Pyre looked at them. His eyes gloomy still. He pushed back the emotion and cleared his throat. Everyone... its been... decided... I will no longer rule as Alpha here for a moon. As soon as that moon is up I will assume my position as alpha, as long as, all of you want me to be alpha at the end of that time. If you don't, the wolf who I pick may stay alpha. If you don't agree now is the time to speak. If you do, don't speak. he said.

Kirk sat there looking at him. A disappointed look on his face.

Esme looked at the pack then at Pyre. As if saying she didn't agree but didn't speak up.
