Bloodlust

I walked across the dense forest, tail held low as my one month old pups zoomed around my black legs. Phanto and Phantom, equal colored pups, tackled there sister Nightshade to the ground, giving puppy growls and yipping happily.

"Come my little ones" I say softly to them, nudging Nightshade to her paws once more, looking at the two terrorist twins with a scolding look.

How alone I had become since leaving the pack I have once been in. I left them for a small reason, it didn't welcome me because of the leadership fess-ups. The leader had amnisia, I was no help...so I left. A foolish thing I did.

"Momma, were are we going?" Little Nightshade asked me, trotting by me with a yawning. Oh how she carried her dead fathers build, slender but strong.

"Somewhere m'dear...somewhere" I whispered.

Shattered

A light footed padding sounded around the corner. A brown shadow rounded into view to see a mother and her pups. In surprise her head swiftly inclined to examine the intruders. Deep blues quivered a moment, then she growled "You are trespassing on Haunters turf, state your business here." Her eyes glowered for a moment, "If it is the alpha you wish to speak to, Risen is currently... busy."

A silent glance was given to the puppies. She remembered her youth and how she had been kicked out of Crucified's pack by White Tip because of her origins. She was dark, not evil, unlike most of her half siblings, however, she was the closest to darkness out of her full siblings. Her orbs shifted back up to Bloodlust.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust turned to Shattered with a low, parenting growl to her pups to seek cover under her legs. "I'm traveling, looking for a place to camp out so my pups may grow with protection."

Bloodlust squinted hard at Shattered, fur bristling ever so slightly, legs tense if the fae attacked. She'd do anything to protect Nightshade, Phantom and Phanto...even her own life.

Shattered

The mud gray wolf stared at the mothering wolf, and then at the cowering pups. Her eyes narrowed on them. "I am the leader of the fourth Division of the Shadow Haunters. You are welcome to stay sheltered in my division if you wish. The Haunters offer the upmost of security, your pups will not be harmed while under the watchful eye of our pack." Her words trailed off as a howl shattered the sky above them.

Shattered hesitated then bowed her head to the she-wolf. "I am stationed on the Shadowland: Sunset Beach." She pointed with her muzzle where to go. "My Alpha is in need of assistance, her foe will not pull back forces. It is time for me to fight." She bowed once more then turned and cantered toward the Temple.

Bloodlust

Bloodlust gave a solemn nod. "Yes, then"
