<Rino> My smirk grew wider when Takoya snapped at Hayta. This was gonna get good. I get close to my Alpha, I would LOVE getting a big bite out this male. My eyes narrowed into a wicked glare. I almost let a growl slip out but I knew that Takoya's anger would move strait to me if i let one slip. <Flur> I was surprised when Takoya snapped. My ears flattened, just a bit but never touched my skull. I lowered my gaze, this was Takoya's land, and i didnt want to be kicked out. He was probably right about the prey in my pack lands....gone. I looked back at Nala, just to see what she was doing.

<Nala> After Takoya snaps at Hayata I find my tail completely touching my stomach and my ears fattened down. Not in an angry way, in a more frightened way. I wans't going to speak, I didn't want to make this feirce male even more mad. Especially because he was quite bigger then me.
<Jynx> I lower my head as Takoya gets even more angry and eventually even threatens Hayata with his body language. I could tell that this was most likely going to get really bad but keep my eyes open on the scene so I don't miss anything.

When Takoya suddenly bowled me over it startled me, making my heart shake. Out of reflex I clicked my teeth together sharply, nearly grazing his jaw. It was a knee-jerk reaction, but I immediately reigned in the aggression. Once more taking on my defensive-submission position, I backed away slowly. Speaking in a quiet growl through my bared teeth, I looked Takoya directly in his silver eyes. "I was answering her question, Silver-Alpha Takoya. Can a man not have his secrets? I have not threatened you. You are proud, your pack is strong- you do not even have cubs. I do not even seek to join your lands. I say my name was once Hayta because my people's names change to reflect who we are throughout our lives. I am Hayta because I am a fool. Because I took a risk and it endangered someone I loved. I am Hayta because I seek redemption for something unforgivable- for abandoning my cub. Do you claim to have no demons of your own?" It was an insolent question, but my defenses had been peaked. Yes, I had always intended to share my past, but alpha or not this wolf had no right. . . did he?
For a moment my confidence faltered, but it rushed back in an instant. Takoya-king was obviously aggressive and unforgiving, I doubted he would take my explanation. That he would even hear it. The other wolves here were blatantly frightened of him. He was a strong leader, and intelligent, but short tempered and unforgiving. Like my father Sapa Pirka- who abandoned his own cub because of the tone of his fur. A very quiet growl sounded from my lips as I backed away further, trying to warn him off of attacking me. He looked tired, and frustrated. I would not hurt him- I still had a vague liking for the wolf, for all his short temper, and I did not want to endanger him or his family. But I would defend myself. I would fight back if he attacked me.

If there were no rewards to reap, No loving embrace to see me through
Standing on all fours, I felt something brush my side and glanced over to my right for only a moment only to see Rino standing beside me. I could sense his anticipation for a fight, and saw the smirk he wore upon his jowls. Within seconds, I had rounded upon my Beta, snapping at him to back off and to keep him in his place. When I felt certain he knew that this was none of his concern and he would not fight unless Hayta attacked me or Flur first, I started to turn back to the crimson male but stopped. My silver gaze focused on the Alpha female of the Snowfall pack, and her aggrivated body language. Her own ears were laid back, and she seemed angry. I gave her a sad look, one that apologized and asserted my dominance all at once. These were my lands, and I was tired of being disrespected and forgotten.
My eyes once again began their journey to Hayta, only to be stopped once more. Nala, the Beta female of the Snowfall pack, had her tail tucked between her rear legs in fear. The beautiful, creamy-white dog's ears were pressed against her slim skull, and she kept silent as my fury pulsed through the air. I nodded to her with a grim expression, trying to let her know she was not going to be harmed and that my anger was not directed at her. Jynx wasn't far from Nala, and she seemed just as scared. But her attention was focused upon the situation, and I was proud that she was so alert. It was a pity she was a healer and not a fighrt, because her focus made me proud. I nodded to her aswell, a very faint smile upon my maw before I finally turned my attention to Hayta.
Just as I turned to stand over the large, rust-colored male, I kept his canines click shut just below my jaw. A ripping snarl came from my jaws, but I made no move to assault him. Instead, I glared down at him, and listened as he spoke quickly. I almost felt pity, knowing how it felt to have a troubled past. None of my pack knew my past, and it was very unlikely that they ever would. It was interesting to hear how his culture was different, and my anger faded into curiousity. His name meant fool? A small smile touched my lips, and I back up a step to look at him with a little more respect. His question was disrespectful, but I waved it away easily. I understood Hayta more now, and that made me see him as what he truly was. Lonely but determined. I nodded, silently pondering my thoughts before finally opening my jowls and speaking.
" I have many demons of my own, Hayta the fool, but I do not let them be known as easily as you have. Whatever you have been held accountable for in the past is none of my or my pack's concern now. Flur may deal with you as she pleases now, but know that you are always welcome in the lands of the Fell pack. I understand you a little better, and maybe one day we may speak of our demons again. "
I smile at Hayta for the first time, and give an accepting nod to him before backing up a good wolf length from him. I look over to Flur, and nod to her to silently say I am now out of this conversation. Whatever she and Hayta talk about now is not my business, I will wait until the subject of the storm passing comes back up. If it doesn't, then I will bring it up. The Snowfall pack is my ally, and they are welcome to stay in my lands as long as they need. But Flur is the Alpha, and she should decide what she thinks is the right thing to do for her pack. Whether that be going back to their lands, or staying a little longer.
This tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now. Gonna wait it out.

<Rino> I pull my head back just befor Takoya's teeth grab my jaw. My eyes widen a bit. What the hell! I was going to help him fight if were to happen and he just snapped at me! I though to myself. My head lowered and my eyes went to the ground. <Flur> Takoya looked at me, and suddely remembered this male was here to be in my pack not his. I shake my body out at I stand. "Hayta as the Alphess of the Snowfall pack I accepted you into my pack. After hearing more about you I feel confident having you in my pack will make not only us but our allies stronger, welcome."

Takoya seemed to calm somewhat as the time progressed. I got a small savage kind of pleasure when he snapped at the other wolf, that young disrespectful one. He seemed capable of reigning in that wild temper as quickly as it flared. Takoya-alpha was working hard to be a good leader, and I liked the wolf. Taking a cue from his growing contentedness, I drew out of my defensive position. I maintained a shape of submission, but I no longer cowered or back away. My movements, combined with Takoya's, had put a great deal of distance between us. His words made a sense of camaraderie flare up, and responded to his nod one of my own that was satiated with quiet gratitude.
Peeking quickly at the snotty male and his look of wild surprise, I fought the urge to shoot him a smug grin. That was disrespectful, no matter how deliciously satisfying. Then Flur caught my attention again. I struggled for a moment with memories of soft words and quiet nuzzles, telling myself that Sumira and Flur- no matter how similar in appearance- were different wolves. It felt somewhat disrespectful, but looking Flur in the eyes helped me to separate the two Alphess in my head. The were those kind words of acceptance again, they melted my heart somehow. "Thank you. Thanks to the both of you," My words were deep and final, and my head bowed once more. It seemed to me that my part in this conversation was done, and so I would not volunteer myself again to speak again without prompting. I had been far more talkative today that I was throughout the rest of my previous life, and though I was glad for company, I looked forward to a bit of silent observation. I wanted to learn more about my new family, my girls.
I withdrew somewhat from the other wolves, backing away and lying on my stomach. I didn't assume a position of full relaxation, but at least now I was a bit more comfortable. Suddenly struck by something, I looked to Nala-Human-Wolf and gave her a soft smile. Hopefully she would take it as apology for ignoring her earlier inquiry.

<Nala> I let my ears back up and my tail Arch back up when Takoya gives me a nod to tell me that I'd be okay and that his anger wasn't towards me. I got scared because a lot of times when I was younger wolves were mad at me for tresspassing on my land and they got even madder as they noticed that I was a dog not a wolf. Flur was the first one to actually be nice to me and I appreciated it very much.
I find myself a little happy that Flur lets Hayata into the pack as he is a strong, handsome wolf. But I hold back my emotions until he takes the time to get to know us better. Out of the corner of my eye I see Hayata smiling at me and I give a sweet smile with a nod to tell him that he is forgiven.

<Jynx> I can tell that a lot has happened to Takoya in just one day. I smile and nod in his direction because I had thought about it and I would have probably snapped at the wolf too. I am no longer afraid because I had thought it through. Takoya is a strong leader and he just has had a lot going on today. With me falling in the river and Rino having to wake him from his slumber just to deal with me. Then the Snowfall pack comming and Hayata to follow. Even I would be stressed out.
I smile and think of how that could be 'treated'. I think he needed rest and I could help him to relax. I step up to him after Hayata stops speaking and I speak in a soft, nice voice, "If I may, I would like to go find a few herbs," I tell him and wait for the okay to do so. I think of what I needed to find for an aroma therapy for him to relax. Lilac would be perfect to help him.

<Flur> After accepted Hayta, l felt it was to get my pack home. I turned to face Takoya. "Thank you, Takoya for allowing me and my pack to stay here. I worried for my home, as Hayta said It needs repair. We should will be on our way home, but remember if you evern need help in anyway you can count on us." I said motioning to my small pack. I bowed my head to Takoya as a final thank you, and turned to my pack. "I dont know what we will see when we get back. The storm probably damaged the area badly, but I'm confident with a little work we can get our home back to the way it was." I looked at Nala then at Hayta, and nodded my head. I stood up and shook out my fur. "Lets get home." I said with strength in my voice. I looked at them both again and tunred to look at the Fell Pack, out new allies. I took a deep breath and trotted of to our home lands.

<Nala> I smile as my heart instantly lifts when I hear that we will be heading home. Just the sound of home sounded good. Plus, the fact that we'd have another pack to watch our back as we would with them. It makes me feel safe. But still there is a part of me that knows the next moon or so will be rough, finding food and fixing up our home. The way Hayata said it, made it sound that it was very damaged. But it would get better. Just a little trust and hard work, it would be good as new. I smile once again and nod towards Fell pack then to Flur, telling her I was ready.
