Clover Hills

[Cosmos]

Sukudo and Sanda raised their heads and tilted them curiously at the older males words, ears flopping around as tails nervously wagged a little in his direction, yipping a few times before going back to playing with each other, both eventually tumbling over towards him and falling over at his feet after bashing into his les, snuffling and shaking out in slight confusion at the impact. They didn't seem that concerned with food to be honest, the two's ribs could be felt through fur terribly easily but the pair never complained like others when it came to feedings.

Jasper stared down at the pups as he drank from the bottle. As the pups fell into his legs and then got up, he grabbed Sanda and lifted the pup to his face, his fingers feeling the ribs easily through the youngster's fur. Setting the pup on the ground, the beta groaned as he leaned back against the wall of the house, closing his eyes against the sunlight. "The alpha may or may not be back soon. Until then, you're just going to have to wait for your turn to eat. I'm supposed to be resting...I don't think Aria would be pleased if you were bugging me and she found out but you can stay here providing you don't steal food and don't wander off. I don't have the energy to chase you around." Cosmos

Synthania hadn't stopped moving until she had gotten her pups and herself across the river border, disappearing into the borders of Haven before moving along game trails and skirting any wolf she came across. The female shook her head as she set Brier and Finarel down on the ground, having been on the move for a week now. She had come to accept that Zenith was long gone from her, dead or in the hands of man, another had possibly picked him up and may have taken him away from Clover Hills. In essence, there was no reason for the female to end up staying within this town that seemed to attract wolves like bees to honey. The fact that the alpha of Kagore, nor anyone else, had even noticed the short arrival and disappearance of the wolf only confirmed in the female's mind that they were blind to what was around them but she was glad she had gotten her pups out of there while she could. Picking up her pups again, the wolf moved on, quick and steady steps taking her further and further away from Kagore and even Haven...she wasn't too certain about joining that pack either. Sighing around the pups' fur, she headed for town and a plan to leave Clover Hills behind for good...it wasn't like there was anything keeping her here. No mate and no home where she felt safe or comfortable within. Perhaps if Kagore had been different she might have stayed but they were not different. Besides, everyone was ignoring the female anyway. Why stay in a pack like that? Maybe she would find Veridius and they'd start their own pack away from Montana. The female gave out a quiet laugh at that, that was doubtful as well. It wouldn't take her long to leave the town for good, given Haven territory wasn't that far from Clover Hills town.

Alistair shook his head as he woke up at the sound of a howl...the smell of blood through his open door...the shout of the alpha and crying pups...the thud of a body hitting the ground. The warrior rolled his eyes and threw an arm over his face as he tried to ignore the tension that festered outside his room, the male rolling over onto his side and pulling his pillow over his head to try to block out the howling from the loner wolf that for some odd reason was allowed to loiter around the territory. In any other pack, it would have been slaughtered and so would the wolf who bred a loner or was mates with it. The alpha didn't have much luck with removing the loner from her territory and he felt bad for her. Thankfully he didn't have to work today.

Zero continued searching for herbs within the ruined buildings, currently trying to sniff out juniper berries. He finally found some after much searching and examined them. The wolf was relieved to see they were ripe and emptied the bushes of them, placing them in two boxes and slipping said boxes into the bag he carried with him. Sighing, he looked up to examine the sunlight and made his way south, heading for the barn sector where he hoped to have some more luck finding herbs.

Zenith was plopped down next to Fern, the sickly pup shaking out his pelt as the omega growled at it and then lay down, coughing repeatedly from being sick. The pup's eyes were glazed over thanks to suffering a fever and the lack of nutrition he and the other three pups didn't get, the youngster often being pushed aside by the other pups as he was too small and weak to fight for his food, especially against the dominant pups Fern and Sebastian. He could smell the dominant Fern next to him and turned his head away, the youngster lying straight out as his body began shaking from the cold weather. ElectricDandellion

ARIA AND FERN

Just as Jasper had said in haste, Fern was to be fed, especially before Matthew came back. All of the pups were to be fed, and she wasn’t about to feed them at different times- they all deserved to be fed at the same moment, not based on favourites and due to their status of either dominant or submissive. Aria shook her head at the thought, putting Fern’s special baby food broth-type substance into a bowl and making formula for the youngest of the pups, Zenith. The other pups apart from those (Sebastian also) were to be given small chunks of meat, raw upon Matthew’s request, despite the woman disagreeing. Aria would not go so far as to disrespect Matthew’s position in the pack, and so instead continued to make the food.

Fern gurgled a little, small chubby fingers playing with her bottom lip, giggling at the sound it made. But, seeing shaking, she paused and looked down, eyes widening as she sighed. The youngest pup was sick, and she didn’t like the sight. Having just had a bath, she was very warm. The baby made some incoherent noises as chubby hands moved forwards to stroke the puppy and quickly picked it up, heaving, what seemed like to the child, a huge weight. Gently placing him in her lap, she stroked him before pulling him closer and cuddling him, the same way Matthew and aria did to her when they picked her up. “Shh,” She mumbled, stroking him.

As Aria turned, looking over, she was warmed to see the one child looking after the other and sat next to them, handing them the bowls and moving to feed the puppy with the bottle of formula. When she neared him, though, Fern reached for the outstretched bottle with a slight cry, grasping it and pushing it towards the puppy’s muzzle.​

Michi had been awaiting the alpha's response to her reaction when suddenly possibly one of the most unexpected sights entered her eyes, "T-Tor?…." she stuttered out in a whisper through her injured vocal cords, her eyes widening and shimmering with hope and longing though deep inside a part remained jealous of the woman who stole her 'big brother' from her grasp, she'd like the attention admittedly but more than ever the girl wanted Styx to be happy, and she'd never seen him happier than being around his mate.

As she leant in and caressed the males cheek Michi gave a somewhat reminiscent smile looking away and down sadly, as the woman then in turn looked over at the girl she didn't even make eye contact. It was a moment she felt like she should have left alone for the pair to deal with- and yet she was so beat up and injured she was stuck there like a newborn fawn, unable to protect herself or do much without assistance, she felt so weak.

Sanda had yipped loudly as she was picked up squirming around a little before freezing in fear as Jasper felt over her ribs, once down rushing behind her brother half face planting into the snow as the pair curiously listened to the males words, their expressions seeming to lighten up once realising no punishment was coming and instead continued to bound around in the white coldness that they'd never seen before, not even interested by the delicious smells of meat coming from the prey house beside them, they knew begging would get them nowhere fast, they truely were very smart little submission in following their role. Yelping and pawing at each other, not knowing that Aria was feeding everyone at the same time on this particular day and not even thinking of their absence.

Tobias huffed out an exhale as he settled against an area of sparse brush after finishing the rounds of the eastern borders.
Nothing unusual could be scented other than Amora but that was honestly no surprise besides any situation she caused he knew would be handled.
After taking the short reprieve from his duties the male got back to all fours and shook his pelt out to knock loose any dirt or leaf litter that had clung to him whilst he laid down.
He only had the southern border left and then as his Alphas instructed he would take a vacation.
Tobias still found it odd that they requested such a thing but nevertheless would follow their word.
To think of it when was the last time he had actually truly rested?
The Warrior thought to himself as he made his way towards the markers.
Everything that had occured with Angelica and he pups obviously did not give him time to heal let alone relax.
Yet something nagged at him still like an itch he could never seem to scratch and the winds felt more coarse than usual...a storm was approaching that much he could tell.
If there was peace to be had it would not last much longer and inevitably another struggle would be on the horizon as always.
The male of Haven finished his duties albeit while he mulled everything over.
Finally he reappeared next to his mate gently brushing himself against her arm before he lay beside her.
"Gabriel says i can take a vacation... So anywhere you and the pups wanna go?"
He questioned rather gruffly as the thought entered her mind.

"Any good ideas yet?, i would guess not huh?"
The male prodded as he accepted the kiss and smiled a little in return.
"I learned from the best after all, although your right there is more i could improve on"
Jackson replied knowing that she was correct and that even though he had learned much in the past months of being a wolf that he did indeed still have a long way to go.
Her next words perturbed him but they were understandable. It couldnt be a simple as showing up on their front door and being like hey im Jackson and i have been seeing your beta secretly for months since she turned me so got an opening?
The young man half scoffed and laughed at the thought.
Suddenly then an idea hit him.
"What if i just try to get into the pack as a loner and we keep us...you know a secret a little longer?"
It was not what he wanted to do, to continue hiding how they felt for one another even with the increased possibility of being closer together but it may be the only way.
As he finished his he caught her last comment and noticed her face burn brilliantly red to which he smiled a little and leaned in close her breath hot and being felt against his features.
He let his next words flow smoothly like a stream trickling down through the mountains steep slopes.
"Why are you embarrassed?, Its not like we have not done such things before"
He breathed seductively as his eyes held that passionate look and desire to have now.
He was only teasing her of course being the bad boy he was as he drug a finger across her exposed neck and ran his hands into her long hair.
Just then she asked how he was and he stopped the playful flirting as he sat back looking around at the scenery before taking a breath and answering.
"Honestly...I've been good, For the first time i can focus on what i want instead of what she needs, I don't have to feel selfish or like im hurting her and its...nice"
Jackson sincerely responded as his eyes met her own as he spoke.

Miley still gave Ross a look, but blew it off. Last time she was in France, Andrew and Amelia had a thing together. She couldn't Blame the male for her death. Last time she checked he loved the woman. "Well, Gabriel found out that I'm a Glaswin and put me on banishment at the time being. I can try to get back in, she may have cooled down by now so I can try to get in Haven." She said to Andrew. Her eyes Drew back towards the nervous pregnant teenager before back to the giant male in front of her. "Why do you need Haven?" She asked. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket but would check it later. Right now she wanted to talk to him and get as much as much information as she could.

Ash squealed in fear when she saw what Gabriel was doing, had done, to her mate. But she stayed back, terrified of being harmed by her Alpha in the same manner in which Amora had been. She kept her ears flat, not arguing as she was ordered to either attend therapy or leave. Leave. How could she leave? She wouldn't survive alone, and she didn't want to be a burden on Amora but... Lately she was sure she wasn't wanted around here. Gabriel treated her like dirt, just because Ash loved someone who was a loner. Weren't there other loners she'd easily allowed into their pack without even really knowing them? What made Amora so different? Trembling, she made her mind up. She wasn't wanted here, and Amora was being hurt because of it. Trembling once Gabriel was gone, she shuffled down the stairs in wolf form, heading for the door. She had to go and find Amora. She'd rather die free than be treated like she was worthless here.

Styx nodded quietly to Michi, "Hopefully. Just doesn't seem like the others even want it to remain built..." He muttered. He froze after a second, tense, as he noticed Tor. His Mate! She'd been missing for so long, he'd assumed she wasn't returning. That maybe she was dead. Because, well, she wouldn't leave him for any reason other than she wasn't able to return, right? But... She looked okay, as she approached, and Styx moved to his feet eagerly to meet her. He did want an explanation to where she'd been, especially since she didn't seem harmed, but he was just overjoyed to have her back. He glanced back at Michi for a second, ensuring she was okay, before he looked back to his partner. He frowned as she spoke of him attacking her. He'd never do that, unless she had really betrayed him, which he doubted she would have. She was his mate, she'd never have ran off with another male. Plus, she'd returned, so he wasn't worried about it.

He leant into her touch, beaming at her, and nodded, "Where have you been Tor?" he asked, quietly, "I've missed you."

Levi yelped as they chewed on his ears, and twisted beneath them to free himself, huffed at the other two pups. His own tail wagged, and he licked across Chikari's face before pushing Raito away, bouncing about before leaping at them again, barking.

She was overjoyed at his response- he seemed less mad then overjoyed. She then attacked him in a hug, pressing her entire body against him, burying his face in his neck. She missed his scent, and she choked back a sob.

"I just left. I had to- the memories were so much and my cousin in Alaska was sick anyways, and so Yukio came with me, and I found out I was-"
She smiled brightly and ran a finger along his many scars, which she though was beautiful. Styx, her styx, Yes. He was still hers.

"Styx. You have a son." Tor said, not quite sure how he'd react. Her face transformed of one of Joy.
"I wasn't sure I'd be welcomed back, and I didn't bring him. His name is Jason. He's so much like you, Styx!" She breathed out. "His features, his temper, he's a mini you. But he has my dimples and your eyes. He's darling!" She gushed, finally glad to have told Styx. She wasn't sure how well this could go, however- she wouldn't, no, couldn't stay in Kagore pack. It just wouldn't work- she was too dominant, and couldn't work up the ranks again- she hadn't the time nor paitence to be treated like trash by upper wolves. But then again, this was Kagore, not Phantasm... But still. Tor was a dominant female, and could only take a dominant role. Her heart ached for Styx, and her son.

Chikari and Sukudo and flailed about and yipped as they were pushed off rolin cover and running in the air with their small paws before reorientation themselves, the female stumbling backwards in slight confusion at the lick before growling playfully and leaping up on the male pawing at his face as he pounced over her and towards her brother, the male barking loudly with a wide smirk.

As Styx and Tor talked Michi couldn't help but feel so out fo place, was she really wanted here? she'd heard of Haven maybe they'd take her in but she just- she couldn't leave Artemis or Styx like that, nor her pups or the pair she was still hopeful to one day be reunited with that were stolen by Mathew, anger boiling at the thought and a fist clenching, why was she so useless lately? What happened to her after Bella had taken charge to make her change like this! Silently gritting her teeth in a sharp grimace, her canines lengthening an pupils retracting to slits as her wolf desperately tried to get out from within the trembling girl. an though she knew it was wrong the tears in her eyes that had formed at the other pairs reunion formed and burned as her body painfully shifted amongst the injuries, the wolf growling lightly and baring it's teeth as it tried to take a step away before yelping loudly and collapsing to the ground with it's injured back legs, claws scampering against the floor boards with Michi still in control, the noises it made weak and small amongst the throat injuries even with her beautiful brown pelt showing through, luckily the girl had at least been eating more after the incident and her ribs were no longer as prominent but with such an injured neck it had mostly been liquids or meat broth, something the girl was rather quickly beginning to long to never see again.

Styx tensed when she told him she'd left by her own decision. She'd left him. He kept his arms around her, trying not to get angry. He didn't want to scare her off again, just in case she never came back next time. Couldn't she have at least informed him that she needed to have some time away? Just so he hadn't worried and searched for her?

He stared at her as she ran a finger across his scars, no longer leaning into her touch but watching her almost warily. She seemed happy to see him but... She'd left him by choice and that hurt the Alpha Male. His own mate had abandoned him without even telling him.

The news of a son didn't make it any better. Yes, he was elated that he had a child but... Tor had kept him away because she'd thought Styx would hurt him? He hadn't even known. She'd kept his son away from him, and so a low growl erupted in the back of his throat. His son was his. He shouldn't be kept away from his own child. And if Tor wasn't with Jason, then who was? Who had she trusted? He snarled, good mood plummeting into an anger that hadn't really been present since Tor disappeared, "You left me." He snarled, "And kept me away from my child! You don't even trust me enough to have brought him with you. But who have you trusted to keep our son safe Tor? Another male? Found someone better?" He snapped, stepping back and away from her.

Levi was for once having great fun. Other pups didn't often play with him, since he tended to snap at everyone, but sometimes he just wanted to run around and play fight. Like he was now. He danced forward, and bopped the other male on the nose, before running off, trying to convince the other to chase him as his tail wagged.

Andrew fought back the urge to yell out as Ellie poured antiseptic onto the wound instead gritting his teeth as they elongated for a brief second before dissipating once again the only noise a sharp exhale as she continued aiding him.
"No its fine, means im still alive and that is what i care about"
Turning back to Miley as she explained her current Haven situation internally he wanted to slap her for her incompetency and inability to follow such a simple task, but what was done was done and she could still be of use as she proposed reentering the pack. Then followed the question he knew she would ask.
"For one reason or another this town has wolves flocking to it, and Haven has more purebloods than any pack in the country...i wanna know why, and if they have something to do with the councils betrayal. I also want to know entry points, pack numbers, rankings etcetera in case i have to shut them down in order to save the Council and any innocents"
He explained to the female who seemed to be coming around now but she was always guarded so he did the same just in case.
He turned his head to Ellie and grasped her hand with his own from his seated position in the chair.
"Thank you...It is much better now"
He breathed as his eyes looked the girl up and down briefly before he released her hand and smiled before returning his attentions back to Miley.

(This was actually painful. XD WolfOfProphecys and Cosmos )

Tor bristled, and flashed her fangs.
"I won't let anyone push me around anymore, Styx. I have found no other. I want only you. And KEPT YOU FROM YOUR CHILD?
OUR child, Styx. OUR baby. That's OUR BABY! I carried and conceived him, but you made him with me."

She broke from his grasp, pushing him away, eyes flashing with hurt and betrayal.
"I'm sorry. I regretted the decision of leaving, but I was a mess, and impulsive, and sick. I watched Fenris die and I chose you over him, and I'm glad, Styx, but it haunts me. I swear I could still hear his voice. I left. Yes. But I came back. Don't shut me out again, dammit! I never kept him from you. I had him in Alaska. How was I to travel through a continent, pack territories, with a pup? I had to take him into consideration. I can't hunt by myself, leave him somewhere! If I died fighting a pack for him, I'd be dead, and he'd starve or be traumatized or worse!"

Her voice was raising, and she pointed a finger at him, a fiery storm of rage now.
"And ANOTHER male? What the actual fuck do you take me for? Some whore? Trust me, if I found another male, I'd have lost your goddamn mate mark, for one. Second, I would have stayed in Alaska. What about you? What about you and Michi? She's obviously trembling from rage or jealousy or something- and I swear, Michi, I don't CARE if you're wounded- if you went behind my back and stole my mate, after we were friends, then I WILL make you scream."

Tor shook her head and bit back tears at his accusations. This was a mistake. A huge mistake. Whatever they had, was obviously broken. Styx didn't care. He never did. The hurt on her face flashed like a neon sign, but was quickly overcome by a cold gaze. Yes, broken.
And some things were better left shattered then to hurt yourself trying to put them back together.

"And I guess this is it then. You don't want a part of me, you dont want a part of Jason's life, then fine. But I'll have you know, i filled him with stories of you every dawn and sunset. He wanted to meet you. But I guess this was all a mistake, huh? Loving me was a mistake, huh, Styx?"

Tor turned, fists clenched.

"I don't regret loving you. But I do regret coming here under these circumstances. I came bearing news of joy and you crushed me once again. Well fine."

She spit out those last words and turned, fighting her way through the bushes with tears in her eyes. Fuck them. And fuck him. and everything.
She let him in, and he hurt her. Granted, she hurt him too but she tried to fix what was wrong.

Jasper
​

Jasper tapped his fingers on his knee as he the puppy squealed and then hid behind her brother, the beta not saying anything as they remained relatively silent except for their rough and tumble play with each other. The beta wouldn't be all that surprised if the alpha ended up breeding the female when she was old enough...maybe the boy too...but he was, so far as the others knew, attempting to be loyal to Aria which was....well odd. The male shrugged and painfully got to his feet, grabbing the two whelps in his hand and holding the bottle in the other, made his way stumbling along the path until he got to the house where the pack took turns watching the pups. Matthew said they could use the still standing cathedral as their main den here if they wanted, but it would have created a ton of space and was more for if the pack ended up expanding somehow, the only way Jasper could see that was if Marie and Aria bore the pack pups. Reaching Aria, he found her feeding Fern and Zenith, the pup's necklace hanging off the pup's neck like always. Or rather...Fern attempting to feed the youngest of the pups. He set the pups down in front of Aria as he straightened. "At least she's doing that when Matthew's not here," said Jasper with a sigh. "I don't see Sebastian anywhere...maybe he's with the alpha's son. These two don't seem to complain about the pecking order among the pack or the other pups...even though you can feel their ribs easily enough through their fur."

Angelica & Triplets
​

The children had been relatively quiet given they were still asleep from what Angelica knew from checking on them again. Oracle still didn't seem at all amused by them personally and seemed rather pleased they could not bother the inner being at all since they couldn't move. Having been working on writing down more notes in the margins to help out with anything she thought important to note for the overall book...and hopefully series if she could manage to do so without trouble. Thus when she felt something brush against her arm and then the words of Tobias enter her head, she set her notebook down and her head to look at the dual-colored wolf. "A vacation?" the woman questioned as she lifted her arm to put her hand on the male's fur. "I don't think they would really notice or care where we went on a vacation, they don't seem to notice much at all," she said as she gestured with her other hand towards the infants. Aside from their unnerving and uncanny intelligence that was. Maybe they did notice quite a bit. "If money wasn't an issue, I'd say the Pacific Ocean. I've seen the Atlantic...granted it's been a long time since I've been to Rehoboth Beach, but I've never seen the Pacific Ocean before." VeiledPariah

Caspian/Pariah
​

The Hendrix siblings were walking through the territory when Caspian suddenly halted, throwing an arm out to stop his sister from moving anymore towards the house. The male's face twisted into a frown as he scented the air. "Inform Matthew we have a problem," said Caspian sharply. "The pups and I will be there as we can." Pariah glanced at her brother before handing him her bag and quickly shifted forms, the tawny wolf turning and heading for the river border. The male shouldered Pariah's bag and headed for the side of the house, extending his nails into claws as he approached and climbing up the wall before pulling himself through an open window on the second floor. Straightening, the male calmly made his way through the house where he grabbed Soul and Ophelia by their necks and carried them into their room, the male calmly packing up his collection of bladed weapons and throwing them into a bag before packing up the siblings' clothes and stuffing the pups into Pariah's bag of clothing. "We're leaving," said Caspian as the pups whined. "Your...uncle is not going to be at all pleased with this recent development." He calmly went out into the hallway and went back outside through the window, landing on the ground below and walked off. The warrior just found it amusing that Styx had lost four more members...really he ought to just give up and look in the mirror. Whistling to himself, he headed for the river as well, knowing his sister would reach it before him. After all...Syn had taken her pups and left the pack as well...and nobody had noticed but for his sister. Veridius had left...he might have gained a woman but he was losing members fast and didn't seem to care. Well, it didn't matter as the siblings had been talking about their options and might end up leaving altogether. Perhaps rejoin the rest of the family in the Dakotas.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Styx didn't let her go so easily. He lashed out, grabbing her arm and pulling her back toward him even when she tried to run off without even allowing him to respond. He snarled, low in the back of his throat, "If you're about to try and leave, Tor, then clearly you don't care enough to even try and fix things, do you?" He snapped, tense and almost trembling with hurt and rage. Unfortunately, Styx never allowed anyone to see when they'd hurt him, used anger to hide his true feelings.

"You didn't have to side with me when I faced Fenris! You may as well have just sided with him, killed me, because you left me anyway! Leaving here wasn't your mistake Tor, it was not informing anyone! You don't realise how many hours I spent looking for you after you disappeared! And as for Michi, she's like my little sister!" He hissed, "And don't you dare speak to her that way! You have no idea what's happened here Tor, since you've abandoned your pack and are apparently about to do so again!"

He shook himself, finally releasing her arm, "Loving you wasn't a mistake. And I do want my pup. And you. But you seem so... eager to leave, that perhaps there's another reason you don't really want to be here Tor? Fed up of your 'insane' mate? Afraid he'll hurt your little pup?" He hissed. He was quite fed up with being seen as insane. He'd thought Tor had understood, but she wasn't even trying to fix things, just trying to run away instead.

Tobias lifted his head for a moment as she gestured towards the infants that stayed still and quiet before turning his attentions back to her.
"The pacific?, It would definitely be a change of scenery and i have always wanted to know what you'd look like in a bikini but could we even go there with them?..."
He inquired further not really sure if such a trip was even possible with the children being so young and of course money.
He had indeed saved some during his time with William in the event they needed to leave Clover Hills and settle down elsewhere yet if he used that for such a trip it was unlikely they could ever accomplish their get away plan if the need arose.

"If that is what you want then we can go...i feel like something is coming, something bad and the last time i felt this way i lost you"
The male expressed his concerns via the telepathic link they shared being with one another and connected on a spiritual, romantic, and bonded level.
Tobias still could not get the doubt that filled his mind to waver, and the fact that even TwoSouls was silent throughout meant one of two things.
Either he had lost them completely or they had yet to rear their heads along with his next inevitable choice that would force him onto yet another path either filled with strife and pain.
"I'm just tired...so tired"
Tobias breathed within her mind but he was not speaking of needing sleep.

Angelica & Triplets
​

Angelica stared at Tobias as he spoke...she shook her head. "You're something else," she said with a laugh as he lifted his head to look at the pups briefly before speaking to her. Nodding as he spoke of it being a change of scenery, it certainly would be. "I do not know if we could go with them. If they were wolves, it'd be easier to carry them, they aren't too big yet where it would be difficult. But even then, that would take a long time." She frowned to herself as she thought of where else they could go, even though the male's next words said they could go if she wanted. As he continued speaking, she stared at him, mentioning having lost her which made her eyes widen at those words, followed by his murmured words of being tired. "Tired of fighting...of feeling like you're never going to get any peace," she said more to herself than Tobias. "If you feel something is going to happen, then it's best to follow your gut," said Angelica.

"Maybe it is best if we leave without telling anyone, just in case things go pear shaped while we're on this vacation," said Angelica. "We can head towards Missoula. It's a city but we can get lost there if needed and they seem to have stuff to do for kids...though they might end up being more for kids that can walk and speak...but they might like viewing animals at a zoo or being in a waterpark...they usually have areas designated for babies in those places I think." If needed, she supposed they could always head north into Canada...providing they stayed as wolves there wouldn't be an issue with getting picked up by immigration. The only problem with that was that the triplets were human and not wolves. VeiledPariah

Chikari and Raito continued to play and pounce, once the male was booted on the nose he chase after the other, sister following quickly after with her one derby ear flopping around as usual. It wasn't long however till the pups stood up straight and quite at the growl and yelp they recognised as their mother, it was sad they knew her sounds of pain better than that of her happiness, and something that she hoped to change. Rushing over to Artemis as though wanting a better vantage point stumbling up her trodding over muzzle and ears before begging to bark and whine for the woman. They truely did love her it seemed.

Sukudo had at first yelped and playfully gnawed at th females hand when picked up before wagging his tail enjoying being carrier against the warmth, his sister however cowered and whined slightly at the contact as usual, once placed down near the other pups the pair shook off the snow droplets still stuck in their furs, barking a few times and sliding around before half tumbling and crashing into Aria's legs, pawing at her feet as their tails wagged at the scent of a woman.

Michi panicked as Tor's words continued, looking back in shock wide eyed as the woman spoke of her betraying the other after being a so called friend, her ears pressing down hard as she whimpered loudly, managing to tug at her legs forward and beneath her small form in a whine of fear as things continued to escalate, yipping loudly once the pair moved off desprete to draw their attention away, to top the adults from fighting when all she wanted was to be together in their little makeshift family. Slowly and with a lot of stumbling the small wolf pulled herself limping and weakly up to her quivering back legs, pointed inwards and barely able to stabilise themselves.

Following after as quickly as she could, eyes tearing from the searing pin shooting through them she collapsed a short distance from the porch and howled loudly, dragging herself forwards on her stomach till caught to Styx's grab of the females arm and stumbling upwards once again, gently grabbing the material of the females trousers and staring up with desperate eyes. So weak and small you'd mistake her for a pup if not knowing her true age and looking so battle worn and broken you'd think any other would've left her be during whatever could have caused it, scarred and stitched, beaten and deformed her small body was a mess.

TOR
The feels are real. XD

At being grabbed, she yanked her arm away from his strong hands.
"I don't want to leave. I just don't know if you want me to stay." She growled, and she looked into his eyes, searching.
"I've never thought of you as insane. You aren't insane, Styx." Tor whispered, holding her arm with a hurt look in her eyes.
"And I know you'd never hurt him."

"Don't ever SPEAK to her like that again? Last time I checked, I wasn't your bitch, Styx. You wan't to grab me and tell me what to do, fine..." Tor took off her jacket and got in his face, eyes flashing with liquid rage hot enough to melt anything in contact.

"You want to take her side? Fine. You want to grab me, fine. But throw a punch, Styx. Shift and take out all your anger out on me. Hurt me like you hurt your enemies. Make me hurt like I hurt you." She said quietly, and with strong hands she pulled Styx to her and kissed him, hands running through his hair and another resting on his chest.

"Want to see why I'm so eager to leave? Huh, big boy? Fine. I don't want to hurt you again. I don;t want to look in your eyes and see everything I've done. I'm trying to be real with you, Styx. Be real with me. Let me reestablish this- There is no other male. Never will be. i mate for life."

"Two. I'm not worried you'd ever hurt our son."

"Three. You are not insane. You have issues, granted, but so does everyone. And nothing will stop me from loving you. The same you I fell in love with all those months ago, is the same you I'm in love with now. I fell in love with ALL of you. Dark side, "insane" side as you so call it, and your sweet side. All of you."

Suddenly, Michi was finally standing up for herself. Tor turned, eyes bright with the prospect of ripping into her, but Michi had been there for her at one point. She turned to Michi, dropped down on her knees, and gently wrapped her arms around the wolf, not wishing to hurt her.

"I hear you, girl. I hear you." She muttered, and Tor grit her teeth, lost in thought.

"And I abandoned her? Damn right I did. And I regret that. But I know I would NEVER let ANYONE hurt my pack members like this. You seem fine. She has life-long injuries, Styx. You want to hop on my ass, let me hop on yours- Where the fuck were you when Michi was getting the shit beat out of her? Or when Jason took his first steps? Or when I needed you, when I was still here? You hid your feelings from me, and you're doing it again. And you have the AUDACTITY to GRAB me. Have I ever done that to you? I've done nothing but love you and love you and you keep pushing me away. And I can't stop- I just can't. And I'm not giving up on you, ever." Tor blew out her hair, and then, suddenly, she was crying. She was fucking crying, sobbing, and she buried her face in Michi's coat, hiding her face.

Michi had at first continued to tug and yelp at the womans clothing as they fought with closed and desprete eyes, longing for them to stop fighting with all her heart, she didn't care about herself anymore, an she knew she had to work on that but for right now all she wanted- was for someone else in this damn seemingly cursed pack to be happy!? Was that too much to ask for once!

It caught her by surprise as the woman knelt down and wrapped her in a hug, wincing and yelping lightly at the contact with her injuries but soon nuzzling into her sadly and her eyes tearing up in turn, as she yelled at Styx for what happened she nuzzled into her roughly as though trying to say she was wrong, eyes pleading up at the big brother figure before back down at his mate. It ws when the female buried her face once again into the others pelt she felt herself finally let out a long held breath even in wolf form, not a physical one but more inside, her fur patch becoming wet from the sobbing but she didn't care, her legs sprawled and numb in the cold snow and stomach almost feeling as though the stitched patch were to tear apart but she didn't care, she just wanted to be here right now with her friends, her family.

Styx just frowned at her as she spoke to him, ignoring her invite to hurt her. He couldn't hurt her. He wouldn't. She wasn't the enemy, he wanted her to stay. After all, that was why he'd grabbed her, because she'd have walked away if he hadn't, and then he'd be alone. He remained tense, letting her kiss him but not really responding, since he wasn't entirely sure how she wanted him to react here. He wanted her to stay, but he had no idea how to make her do that without locking her inside, and that wasn't what he wanted.

He almost went to grab Michi, protect her and put her back where she was safe, but Tor hugged her quick enough, and so Styx stayed silent and tense, watching the girls. His makeshift family. Tor was sobbing, but Styx didn't know what to do. She was right. Where had he been when either female had needed him? He dropped his head, staring down at the floor, anger washing away into guilt. He should have been there to protect Michi, to be there with his son and Tor. But he hadn't been. What type of Alpha was he if he couldn't protect his mate and the girl he saw as his little sister?

Staring down at the floor as he listened to Tor sob, he shook his head, "I....I'm sorry. I should have been there for both of you and... I failed." He muttered, "I've messed up everything. The pack, you... Everything is falling apart Tor. And... And I do love you. I always will. But..." he trailed off, not finishing. Surely Tor couldn't blame him entirely? She'd been the one to run away, so he couldn't be there for her or Jason, because he hadn't known where they were. She'd been away when Michi had been attacked, she hadn't been there to protect her either. But he said nothing, frightened of scaring away his mate.

"But?" She asked, stiffening. This was heartwarming and all, but Tor wasn't buying it. Alaska had made her stronger. Losing Fenris made her realize she had priorities. Having a child, and raising him alone, had made her stronger. And leaving Styx had hardened her heart. Tor was different now, but she was sure he knew.

Tor gently let go of Michi and hugged herself, standing a few feet away, eyes softening and then hardening. She didn't know what to do at this point. He was irresponsive to her affection, which was a bullet to her heart, and was quiet, no doubt plagued by thoughts. The woman took out a few pictures and stuffed it in his hands, before taking a few steps back, allowing him to see Jason. She pictured him in her own mind, his dark, shaggy black hair that was growing out in the picture, reaching his shoulders, his green eyes dark and stormy as he glared at the camera. There was a beaded necklace around his neck, and he still had the softness in his features, smooth skin and a rounded face. The resemblance to Styx was startling.

If he looked at the other picture, he'd find a much happier photo. It was Tor, lifting the toddler up, his arms reaching for her face. It was one of pure adoration, his of pure joy, and he was wearing overalls. His dimples showed.

Tor shook herself from the past.
"What now? Do I stay? Not sure if the pack will accept me. And I'm no longer alpha. But I know Damn well I'm not a bloody omega either." She said, not quite cursing at Styx but at herself.
"And what about Jason? He does have a few friends back home. I want to know if I come here, and leave what we scrapped together, I won't regret it. We gotta try to be what we were. Or start over. Something. Jason doesn't need to see us like this, if you choose to accept us."

She offered a shy smile to Michi, showing her warmth.
