Styx snarled in triumph as he managed to get his teeth into her snout, and stumbled back as she finally released his leg, his blood matting his fur from where her teeth had broken skin. He bared his teeth again, eyes gleaming in triumph and anger, though he wasn't leaning on his injured leg as much as he usually would. Styx had, after all, been run off his feet lately, hunting and caring for the pack, and looking for Tor, so he wasn't exactly at his fighting best. Still, he was trying.

But of course, she slammed into his stomach, yelping as claws dug in and he gripped at her fur with his own, pulling her over with the momentum of her jump. He kicked, no real method to his fighting, just clearly aiming to heavily wound her.

Miley was tired of chasing around now and wanted to end it. She gave this male his fight, now she was going to end it with him losing and her taking over. His kicks landed into her side, but she didn't stagger, diving in with a snarl towards his shoulder. She gripped his shoulder hard with her teeth, pulling him off his remaining feet then pushing him down to the ground. She wasn't keen on maming the male, just put him into submission. She held him down to the ground by his shoulder, her teeth digging in if he struggled. She put her paw on the side of his face, holding his head down so be couldn't bite back and her other paw on his haunches to hold down his bottom end. She hoped that this was enough to make the male give up, and she hoped she wouldn't have to do severe damage to male. He seemed like a good addition to the pack and wouldnt want to lose him over his stupidity of trying keep his position.

Snow had started falling in the middle of the fight, the two ignoring it until now as it started getting heavier. It was a snowstorm, the first one for the season of winter. She hoped that he wouldnt continue to fight in this condition, and submit to his loss.

Styx wasn't often one to submit. But Miley was quicker than he, and he snarled in pain as she grabbed his shoulder, slamming him down into the ground. He had no time to fight it, and was pinned in mere moments. Squirming beneath her to get free, unable to bite or kick, he growled as he felt her teeth dig deeper into his shoulder. He was entirely unbothered about being injured, a few more scars wouldn't harm him, but was highly bothered by the fact that she'd been able to pin him down in sheer moments without a second thought. By the ease of which she'd done so, he almost assumed she'd been playing with him. He squirmed a little more, until her teeth dug enough for him to understand he couldn't get out of this, and he huffed through his nose, going limp in submission beneath her paws.

It was quite humiliating really, to be pinned by the female in front of his family. No doubt the rest of the pack, already disliking him, would pick on him now for it. He wasn't bothered by the cold snow, just by the wolf on top of him that he was submitting to.

Ash however, was very bothered by the cold. Thin and weak, she trembled as she walked further from the pack house, howling desperately for her mate. Where Amora had gone she didn't know, she just wanted her back. If Amora didn't return... Where would Ash go? She'd just left her pack, and they wouldn't take her back in or want her. She howled again, as snow fell into her pelt, and shivered in fear.

Daemon Grenakowski ​

Daemon snickered at the wolf’s attempt to scare him away and make him back off. It was funny in a way because inside, Daemon’s own fur was sticking up too. Stepping closer as the wolf retreated in response seemed almost comical.

Unfortunatly the little game was halted when Daemon felt a sharp, cold breezepick up and start turning into gusts of seemingly razor sharp wind.

“Look out!” Dame shouted, jumping at the black and white wolf, knocking it out of the way of a falling tree. The snow was on the two animals seconds following the crash.

“Let’s go little wolf.” Daemon said calmly before trying to grab the beast. In response there came a bark and the sound of flesh being bitten. Closing an eye in pain, Daemon ripped the teeth from his shoulder and slammed the wolf’s jaw shut, holding it the best he could with his bitten shoulder. His other arm went around the wolf’s back and he gripped part of it’s belly fur to keep a hold of it before he began the long haul home.
~~~~~
Dame didn’t know how much time had passed but the snow had risen well over an inch and the wind had only gotten worse, biting at his face almost as bad as the wolf had earlier. The bite had been bad enough to let blood form it’s path down his arm to his elbow, where it dripped off of often. All this was happening while his power went to a whole new level.

The snow kept melting into his feet as the two beings made their way out of the woods with Daemon unable to control it. Ice was forming under his eyes from the bitter-cold and his body felt sluggish. Was it all the water he was taking in? He couldn’t tell, he just kept going. The wolf whined as the went as Daemon had put the animal on his right side, the wounded shoulder facing the wind, the holes burning up as the rest of his skin froze and started it’s trek to go blue just like he wolf’s eyes and his own. Stumbling through the blizzard, the man used his fingers to gently scratch the wolf to reassure it and calm it down while he fought for conciousness. He had been losing too much blood. He wasn’t going to make it home nor was he going to be able to protect the wolf. He only growled in frustration.

Suddenly Daemon's body tensed up. then he was gravityless. He didn’t feel the wolf in his arms Anymore nor the harsh sting of the wind and his body wouldn’t respond to any command his mind gave it. All he felt was his body stiffen up even More then it already was, like a coil being brought together tighter and tighter. Then, right before the man thought he couldn't take anymore, everything went blank.

Nikolaus

Nikolaus watched the fight commence, content to use the cigarette to relax though he was prepared to jump into the fight if needed or fight the dominant female if she got it into her head to dare try to jump into the fight. He couldn't smell pack on the dominant female that could pose a threat so she wasn't part of this pack...if she was, then she had abandoned her post which in Nikolaus's mind meant she was unfit for the role of alpha. As for the alpha male in question, Niko couldn't say how things worked outside of Phantasm. But he would castrate the bastard fighting Miley if he even thought about touching the loner's...friend. Nikolaus did not jump in though to the fight, even as he scented Miley's blood and she was grabbed on the face...maybe he should howl for Zero and have the Knowledge Keeper treat Miley. Miley was proving while Niko had fought her, beaten her and fought off Matthew's other cubs for her months ago, it probably was due to her pureblood though that gave her an advantage.

Snow started falling though in the middle of the fight, neither of the fighting wolves noticing it is started out light enough that even Niko didn't think much of it. He could detect Caspian and Pariah's scents but they were faint...were they out hunting or what? Well, Matthew would know where they were surely. The wolf landing on the ground and struggling caused Niko to look down at the wolf and then to Miley, not saying anything to either of them before turning his eyes back on the two females. When it seemed like the fight was over and the male had submitted fully, he surveyed the two females before him and then turned his head towards the house, breathing through the snow and cold air that was now coming down on them. "Alpha and Matthew's old room are on the second floor along with the room Angelica was kept in according to him," spoke Nikolaus, "but we need to either get you healed or get all other wolves out here and make sure they know whose in charge now," he said. "Your call Miley. Though I recommend setting the bed on the fire and moving Matthew's in." WolfOfProphecys Cosmos Ryoko Lee CZDoubleU (for your Winslow gal)

Vince

Snow. At first it was gentle as Marie spoke about being used to silver and the pain it caused, the male watching as she shifted to make sure she didn't fight the change though there wasn't a whole lot he could do for her. As she sat there, shivering in the cold, the male moved towards her and draped his jacket over her. It wasn't long enough to fully cover her but it would give some help, the male then stepping back, unaware that Niko had dropped his pups off with Ice and Jasper. "When you can stand, we'll head towards the river, then head back to the village. The alpha may move us now that it seems winter has started....or..." he looked up as the snow changed from light to heavy "not. We'll likely be trapped within the ruined village all winter, depending on how many snowstorms we get but you'll get used to it. Good job though."

Gabriel
​

The blond-haired woman bristled as she left Miley's home with Zayne in tow, making her way back to the pack's location. They got inside with the light snow still falling, the alpha female brushing off a few flakes of snow in the living room before she looked at her mate. "I'm going to make something hot to drink..." she said as she turned to face him. "Want anything?" Turning fully, she went to look out the window and stared at the snow as it began to fall. "We'll need all wolves to make sure the pack stays strong and may have to wander far to get food. I don't know how we'll fare with half our territory gone...the adults may need to get jobs, including us to make it through the winter without causing territory disputes," Gabriel said. Comet

Phantasm Pups

Yem, Gina and Erik were left with the weird boy with pretty hair and some wounded person who didn't seem up for talking when the pups had bugged him. They did see other pups there though...another runt who was fighting being held by some girl and two other pups who weren't doing anything at all interesting. There was also another pup there who was covered in black fur and had cream legs with burns on his joints...Yem and Gina immediately tackled Sebastian who growled at them while Erik looked at his siblings and then the other pups uncertainly. Sebastian growled at being tackled as Ice tried to keep the pups from spilling the bowls of food over and then looked to Jasper to see how they would be fed.

"You know Fern eats first, then doms, then subs," said Jasper. "So normally it would be Fern...Yem and Gina, then the sub pups but Matthew's not here. We might as well feed them as well before Matthew gets back. You pups aren't to go anywhere though without Ice or I watching you," he said to Nikolaus's triplets.

"When papa and mama come back?" Yem questioned.

"I don't know. Miley may not end up coming back...she's going to have her own pack and I don't know what your father is doing or being ordered to do," said Jasper with a shrug of his shoulders. "Now shush, you're annoying me already." Of course Gina didn't listen, she ended up heading outside, causing Ice to chase after her to keep from losing the pup, Seb and Yem soon following.

Matthew
​

Matthew's feet soon began crunching on frozen powder and he looked down to see that he was walking on snow. The alpha stopped and looked up at the sky, grumbling to himself. This was going to take longer than to get home but maybe his pack would be lucky and he would end up in a good mood by the time he got home. The male still had a long way to go though but was in no rush, his pack was in capable hands after all.

Oracle & Triplets​

Something white fell on the hybrid woman's hair. Something white that was followed by more white. The hybrid looked up, topaz eyes meeting a heavily falling snow that seemed to have commenced while she was talking and confronting the female wolf that was now human who was too close for comfort to the female's sanctuary and her family, particularly her mate. The hybrid's claws dug into her palms as she squeezed her hands into fists at her sides at the thought of any female trying to take her mate from her and her pups' father from them....there would be hell to pay...the inner being wasn't afraid to kill again. The hybrid's head fell back to earth, topaz eyes glimmering as she watched the other female on the ground, making no move to help her and awaiting an answer. A stark contrast with the dominant inner being compared to the submissive human that lay beneath and was in control most of the time. "It's snowing Tobias," the wolf pointed out through their mental link. "Why are you here besides exploration?" questioned Oracle with a bark to her tone now.

The triplets, this being their first snowfall due to not having been born until 4 months ago, were unsure what to make of the snow which served to wake up Hekate and Phyllis as the cold arctic winds began assaulting the infants' bodies. Apollo was still up on his hands, his head still and his upper body off the ground...it seemed the pups' werewolf genes of development were starting to kick in or at least Apollo's was. Of course the children still had blue eyes, eyes which Phyllis would keep though Apollo and Hekate's eyes would turn green like their mother's only a darker shade in two more months. The male infant giggled at the snow and began trying to pull himself across the snow, unfortunately not managing it and falling back to the earth with a startled cry. Apollo's face took on what snow was on the ground, the infant's body unintentionally beginning to heat up to warm himself and serving to begin melting the snow underneath and around him. While Hekate seemed to take delight in the snow that fell from the sky, occasionally giggling despite the cold soaking into the child's skin through her onesie and long sleeve shirt with pants that all the infants had been dressed in, Phyllis remained abjectly quiet throughout this, staring dully up at the sky and the snowflakes falling down. mikyuu Mentioned: VeiledPariah

Miley let go of the male when she felt you go limp and stopped fighting her. She moved away from him with unwavering eyes before looking back at Niko with a nod. She shifted into her human form with ease so she could speak to him properly, putting on her jacket that was on the ground and turned to Niko. "You're coming inside too and you're not fighting it. It's starting to become a storm and I'm not losing you in this snow. Come on." She said to Niko with a smirk. She knew the male was probably going to resist, not wanting to stay in Kagore, or Glaswin now. She wasn't going to give him a choice though. She looked down at the male at her feet, nodding at him. "You go inside too and get yourself fixed up, if you have a healer. I'll try to get the others to go in." She said to him, already taking charge. She looked back at the two females laying in the snow, looking at the injured one before looking at the one that didn't smell like the others. "You two best get inside too. If the injured one needs help, carry her or I will." She said, before looking around the yard at the other wolves who watched the fight. "Everyone inside, now."

Without a word, the wolves walked inside slowly without a sound. They couldnt believe that Styx lost a fight. The male was always a strong fighter then he lost, to a complete stranger just like that. The new alpha was clearly not into playing around, but with how calm she took everything, it seemed like she didn't have a crazy bone in her body. It would take some time for the wolves to trust her, but she would make it work, for the sake of their lives she had to make it work.

Marie put on Vince's jacket the moment she was handed it, the naked blonde woman already shivering from the snow. She couldn't force her wolf to come back, the wolf refusing to trek through the snow at this time. She was cursing it out in her head now, hearing and feeling the refusals of the stubborn wolf. She picked up the trap with shaking hands, a burning but warm feeling covering her hands. "We should get moving before it gets any worse to where we can't move." She said with a shaking voice. She was so cold she couldn't talk properly. She stood up, almost falling over as she did so before gaining her balance and looked at the male to lead the way.
----
Zayne followed his mate without saying a word, knowing that she was hot-tempered at the moment. It started snowing the moment they reached the pack house, the wolves playing in the front yard in the first snow. It was starting to get a little heavy, the male barking at the wolves to get inside before they get trapped outside. None of them apparently heard him though, the wolves having too much fun. He shook his head, following his mate inside as she asked if he wanted anything. "Yes, I would love a hot drink my love." He said with a smile as he followed her in the kitchen and kissed her cheek.
scorpiodragon

Brexly struggled the whole way in the males arms until he got tired and dropped to the ground, the wolf yelping as she was dropped and the snow biting at her fur. She walked over to the male and nudged him with her nose, seeing of he would move. Nothing. He was out cold. The black and white female looked around through the cloudy snowstorm before she saw a den big enough for the two. She growled to herself, not wanting to leave the male out to die. She started yanking on his jacket until she finally got him in the dry Den, using her body to stop the snow from coming in the entrance. She was stuck here with the male until the storm died down, the female wasn't happy to be stuck here with him. She watched him breath, at least making sure that he was still alive. He should wake up at some point, but she didn't know for sure. She wasn't for sure why he even picked her up instead of leaving her alone, not even sure why he fell. It was all strange to her, and she couldn't question him in this state. She would just have to wait until he woke up.

Daemon Grenakowski ​

Daemon stirred slightly. Pain surged down his left shoulder and left his fingertips tingling and twitching. Breathing heavily the man pushed himself up with his good arm and sat himself against the wall. It was icy so the man activated his power and drained the water out of the cave he was in. As he did this, something infront of him moved. holding his breath and drawing his pocket-knife the man awaited an attack but it never came. It was the wolf from earlier. The poor thing was shivering and it made Daemon sigh.

“Thanks for saving me buddy.” Daemon said. “Sorry I up and grabbed you earlier. I saw the storm and just... Acted. I apologize.”

Looking about the cave some more, Dame suddenly saw some moss, drained from moments ago and he got up to snatch the brown and green fungus. Draining it so it was a light brown the young guy ooked for a bit more before moving closer to the wolf, trying not to startle it into the storm. Setting the dried moss down, Daemon chipped some rock from the wall and started attempting to make a fire.

Snorting, the man thought he wasn’t going to start any fire but suddenly the flames of heat burst into the small pile of moss. With a small grin he blew onto the dead moss as he pulled out a pack of toothpicks and a notepad to keep the fire going and to make it grow.

“Come over here wolfy. I’ll move the fire closer to the exit and you can get dried off.Sound good?” Daemon asked as he coughed from the smoke building up in the small enclosed space. “please?” He asked, voice starting to go raw from the inhalation.

Nikolaus
​

The female turned back to him and nodded before speaking overall to everyone as the snow continued to fall on them, the woman first speaking to him, telling him to come inside with her and how she didn't want to lose him at all in the storm. He stared at her, the cigarette dangling from his mouth as she spoke in a tone that brooked no arguments and then had the gall to smirk at him before turning back to her new subordinates and telling the other male to go into the house and the two females to head inside as well. The loner shook his head and dropped the cigarette on the ground before him, crushing it into the snow with the bottom of his boot before exhaling an annoyed sigh in Miley's direction. "You have got to be kidding me," he spoke to the female. "You seriously want me to go inside there?" he questioned, glancing towards the house and ignoring the other wolves there. "Hmm...well I suppose the kids'll be safe enough with Jasper and Ice....assuming they behave...somehow I doubt that though." He snorted, likely his daughters were giving the other males' a run for their money.

"Do you want me to see if Zero will come here?" he questioned. He knew perfectly well the female would heal fine but Nikolaus didn't like the look of that other female....the one that had an air of dominance about her which would need to be beaten out of her unless Miley decided to utilize it to her advantage through manipulation...oh...no that was Matthew's tactic. The loner had no issues going to find Zero or howling for the Knowledge Keeper of Phantasm. "Fine..." he said..."though I've gotten through worse than this on my own...but it if pleases m'lady," he said, the male unable to resist rolling his eyes at the female's stubborn nature and following her her into the house. "I suppose we should see what all consists of the pack? I know you have no warriors at all...Matthew said they all died after attacking Bella and the ex-alpha killed the rest. That child...well, I don't have high hopes for her," he said, referring to the female that was badly injured. He didn't wait for an answer as he inhaled sharply, his voice echoing through the house with his next words.

Vince​

Vince looked up at the sky until Marie spoke to him and mentioned the snow. "With our weekly patrols and hunts the pack has to do, I've learned of a few places to hide out in during bad weather..though we're of course trained to tough it out under Matthew's leadership. Something the pups will get when they turn eight-years-old." He frowned to himself before helping Marie to her feet and keeping an arm on her, moved her through the snow and cold until they got to a den situated between a pair of boulders which blocked the wind from outside on two sides with a tree growing up in the middle of the den. "Come on...in you go," said Vince, allowing the female to head inside before he'd follow her in to the rather roomy and warm den, a vast difference from the temperatures outside. "We're stuck here for the time being...doesn't look like the storm's letting up any time soon."

Gabriel/Azrael
​

Gabriel headed towards the kitchen after speaking to Zayne and looking out the window. As the male responded with a yes and a kiss, she nodded, hearing the door open. Azrael came in from the snow, carrying some scrawny rabbits which he brought into the kitchen. "Prey's getting low," the blind male spoke as he shook his head free of the snowfall. "Little prey is either hidden too deep now or has frozen to death by being caught out unexpectedly...with half the territory gone...." he sighed before continuing, "there isn't a lot of places for the prey to thrive here." The male grabbed the rabbits from where he'd plopped them on the counter and then pulled out a steak knife from one of the drawers to try to skin the rabbits. "Can I try warming these up with a space heater?"

"Don't burn the house down," said Gabriel. "Thank you Azrael."

"No problem," said the male as he nodded to Zayne and disappeared down the hall to the mudroom.

"We're lucky to have Azrael," Gabriel said to Zayne as she began preparing hot chocolate, the woman opening a cabinet she kept a padlock on and pulling out a bottle of brandy which she poured into both mugs, then put hot chocolate mix as well. The woman needed it after her day. Comet

Oracle​

As the snow continued, both females' knew Tobias couldn't get all three infants home by themselves, not and beat the snowstorm. This interloper didn't seem at all interested in communicating, so the hybrid moved forward. "Get out unless you want to join and you have to take that up with the alphas," growled Oracle. "Leave or I'll kill you myself next time," she growled before turning and heading back the way she'd come, leaving the wolf there to head home or freeze to death in the snow. The hybrid made her way back the way she'd come, muttering in her head about annoying females who didn't know their place and thought they could control and decide the females' fate. She didn't head to the clearing though, instead heading off into the forest and then circling around to reach her waterfall, then heading back that way to her mate and children, the female making sure to wander into the storm so her scent would be lost and she couldn't be tracked by the interloper or lead it to her family.

Veridius Wensylve​

Tags: T terrajedi

Veridius remained silent as Synanthia spoke. Nodding along to her words. His mind- albeit blurry and unfocused- still able to comprehend the basics of their conversation.
"Maybe I will investigate Kagore though I do not see things as having changed in two months."
He curled the corner of his mouth downward.
"I wouldn't waste my energy... Besides... Torr and Styx won't like the fact that we left without their godly blessing. I can imagine they don't like us as much as we don't like them right now..."
He paused for a second. Eyed the rolling hills and jagged forests in the near distance. Then continued. His eyes' focus unwavering.
"But... I guess it would be interesting... just to see how much more the clan has crumbled."
He stopped for a second. Furrowed a brow.
"Wait- Was that a serious thought?"
His ears perked up to the hushed sound of running water. So did his attention shift like a switch.
The water... he listened with stiff ears... With such a pattern that reminded him of...
"We're this close already...?" He blurted out, unable to control the widening of his eyes in an expression of surprise.
There was one river acting as the divider of two of the three biggest territories. Kagore and Haven. With Phantasm being only a stones throw away as well.
He always knew this place as the Kagore River- even though he figured it had a proper name. He used to come here all the time before he left because of how easily accessible it was from his old pack house- and because it was rich in both animal and plant life. It benefitted him to come here. For the purpose of collecting plants and herbs... and to recollect himself when Kagore proved more and more to be toxic to his mentality.
Upon realizing this- his ears dropped. Laying flat to the sides of his face. "Uh... do you or the pups need to make a pitstop...?" He asked.
Finishing his words... sprinkles of snow began to fall over the wolves. The wind picking up and brushing the fur on Veridius's back.
He looked up to the sky. Clouds suddenly grey.
Aaaahhh... Great.



(Yes. There is apparently a snowstorm going on. We'll rp the storm getting stronger gradually. You can escalate it in your next post if you want to, terra. Also, it might not have been clear- but they've arrived at the same river as Zero!)

 

[terrajedi]

Synthania could hear the male's words easily enough with him standing right next to her, the female rolling her eyes at the mention of the alphas of Kagore. "They were too busy up in each other's faces to even notice the presence of anyone who wasn't themselves or that pathetic guard Michi," said Synthania. "I heard slim bits of their conversation when I was there before I made the decision to leave...Styx was whining about stopping the healers from doing something to her and she was saying it wasn't his fault. How anyone can trust those two to run a pack is beyond me and allow a crybaby in the pack as well who runs away at the slightest thing I'll never know. In my old pack, she would have been sacrificed or demoted quicker than one could blink...likely both."

The pair began walking then through the forest, Synthania calling back for her pups to follow them and keep up as they wouldn't be stopping unless necessary. At his next words concerning it being amusing to see how far the pack had fallen, the female snorted in amused derision. Brier and Finarel stopped their playing before following their mother and uncle figure through the forest, occasionally nipping at each other until their mother turned and swatted them both around their ears to get them to behave as they proceeded through the dense vegetation of Montana. The youngsters were now a mere three months old, having been born on August first but strong enough to survive the traveling even if they did spend most of their time fighting with each other like siblings were wont to do. She had remained in the den with her pups until they were weaned before leaving upon returning to Kagore after a month absence. The woman still carried her quiver and bow with her, having made new arrows in her spare time on her travels. Veridius's eyes widening when they approached the sound of a river caused her to look briefly at him. "Odd...I thought we were more away from the river than that," she said with a shrug.

Yet there was indeed the river that reached their ears upon approaching it, rushing past them. The pups wouldn't be able to make the journey across, so it would be up to her and Veridius to carry them across to safety without being lost to the currents. The female barked to her pups to remain close on their heels and the two silently followed behind the adults, Finarel slipping and losing her footing as she stepped on some fallen leaves that suddenly gave way to frozen white stuff that bit into her paws. As they walked, snow began coming down upon them, soft flakes at first so that she thought nothing of it. "Your observational skills are improving Veridius," said Synthania as she carried her bow in a hand, the woman finding it easier to walk and talk when in her human form. Journeying closer to the river though, the gentle fall of the snow began to get somewhat heavier, the woman now stopping and looking up at the sky and the overcast gray clouds that blocked out the sun, the snow falling into her face as she stared up at it. "No...but maybe we should stop here. It's foolish to try to cross the river right now, we should look for some form of shelter," she called out, the winds beginning to pick up around them. She left the pups with Veridius while she rooted around the riverbank until she found an abandoned den. Leading the others to it, she watched them disappear inside one-by-one before slipping inside herself and setting her quiver and bow down on the ground next to her as the pups shook off the snow from their pelts.

(Sounds good and I've updated what Brier looks like as a wolf)

Spoiler: Brier

Zero didn't notice the snow at first as he was busy tugging at a particularly stubborn batch of cattails and scraping moss from the nearby rocks for the pack's use when they were injured. The white haired male finally tugged the cattails out, falling onto his back as he lost his balance but he had what he wanted. Though snow was starting to fall while he had been battling the cattails. He threw both cattails and gathered moss into his bag, using the river water to wash his hands and shivering as the temperature of the liquid surface hit his hands, coupled with the snow falling down around him. The Knowledge Keeper breathed a sigh of exasperation but continued with his work. With it seeming likely that they'd be trapped within the mountains...or at least trapped within the ruined village, Zero needed as much healing plants as possible for the winter season. Once spring came, hopefully he would have an apprentice and some of the pups might consider the art of medicine to help out and if not then he could try to get them to help out anyway with planting and scaring away crows so the herbs and medicinal plants could grow. The man already had a field picked out for the use of herbs.

Miley followed the wolves inside, picking up the hurt wolf outside in the process. She side eye glanced at Niko as he ordered every wolf to line up in the living room, making Miley curious. "Doing this now? They just watched their old alpha get beat down, let them get used to that thought first Niko." She said to him, watching as a few wolves did what he said. The others either went off on their own, or sat in the living room, watching her with cautious eyes. It would take some time for them to get used to the female, the pack thinking that she would be just as crazy and sadistic as the last alphas. "Someone start a fire in the fireplace so we can get this house warmed up." She said to the group of wolves surrounding her, one of them meekly walking towards it amd messing with it. She sighed, before looking at Niko. "Let's give them some space so they can wrap their minds around it. Let's go explore the house while we're here." She said. She looked back at the wolves, the pups and some of the adults moving closer to the now lit fire. She started to walk around the bottom floor of the house, in shock at all the horrible things that were there. One room smelt like burnt bodies, a room that's been closed off for ages, and the basement was littered with cages. "Is this Winslow's or Kagore's doing?" She half asked Niko, half asked herself.
----
Marie hurried into the den, sighing in relief as the wind was off of her. She was still shivering inside the warm den. "I should warm up soon, or shift back soon." She said to him, her teeth chattering as she sat on the ground against a wall and brought her body up to her in a ball. It would be so much easier of she had fur to keep her warm, but she didn't. And she wasn't going to ask Vince to keep her warm. She had to tough it out. She was part of Phantasm now, she had to be tough. She just wasnt understanding why it was so hard now.

Nikolaus
​

Niko just stared at the female, watching as a few wolves did as he said before Miley spoke. "They need to realize they don't answer to their former alpha any longer or they'll look to him for orders," said Nikolaus. But the male fell silent as the female told some of them to get a fire going, muttering under his breath about irresponsible leaders. When she set the injured female down and ordered the few wolves there to get a fire going, others heading off to wrap their minds around things, she then suggested they explore the house. "Sure...though there probably isn't much to see," he said. Nevertheless, the male followed her through the house as they set out exploring the area. It certainly didn't look like much had changed from Matthew's descriptions though there was a stench of death and rot in the air, the smell of burned bodies as they entered one room that seemed closed off. When she asked him which pack was responsible for this, Niko shook his head. "According to Matthew, Styx was burning bodies of all the warriors he finished off after tried attacking that...woman after they lost their source of entertainment," he said, not explaining about just whom that source of entertainment was, knowing Miley would be able to guess.

"The fact that it still smells like burned bodies after a few months is disturbing though," said Niko, changing the topic. The basement was a different thing. Niko shook his head. "I can tell you right now this basement is Kagore's doing. The warriors and hunters slept here, the scouts and guards up above on the first floor on the left side of the house. The cages were and other torture things...the pillory and the silver whips and chains were all kept in the cave behind the house," said Nikolaus. "The house is built in such a way that the only way to access the cave is apparently a trap door through the alpha's room...your room now." The male shrugged and pulled out another cigarette which he lit up and put his lighter back in the pocket of his jeans with his pack of cigarettes. "Unless you're expecting me to stay here and run this pack alongside ya?" he questioned as he looked around the basement. "It's supposed to be bunk beds...this is a barrack's after all. Or it was when Matthew was here. Soon enough it's going to be mating season again. If you...want to try again for pups..."

Vince
​

The blond-haired male watched as the female continued shivering despite the warmth of the den, having put his jacket over her. He said nothing as she said that she would either shift back soon to her wolf or she would stop shivering...either way it would get her somewhat warm and she would likely have feeling in her body again as her body temperature rose up to its normal levels...though high for a human, normal for their kind. "You'll get used to the rigurous training of the alpha and be better off for it then you would in any other pack...and we help each other like I said before. Don't go to sleep though...you won't wake up otherwise," he finally said. Well, at least that was Vince's opinion anyway that she was better off here than in the other packs. Comet

Tor

Tor walked into the house, her son on her hip, eyes narrowed. The entire pack was in one place, with two new scents, and she didn't like the sound of the new female, commanding the pack as if she owned them. It was so disrespectful, it made her blood boil.

"What's wrong, mama?" The toddler on her hip asked, looking up at her with green eyes, deep like emeralds. She studied his porcelain skin and dark hair, and dimples shown in frustration.

She adjusted his weight and kicked down the door. She tried to resist the urge to shift and challenge Miley in a battle to avenge her defeated her mate. The blood and fury mingled in her veins, making her shudder and clench in her teeth. If she shifted now she'd be messing up all of her teachings for him to live a human life and to control his emotions as best he could.

However, she had to watch this outsider beat down her mate, and do nothing, lest she die and leave her child without a mother. No doubt if she fought, so would Styx and he too, would die.

Tor gazed at her pack, and her eyes laid on Styx- right as Jason did. His face lit up in recognitions, and he began to bounce in her arms, before climbing down her legs and landing rather unsteadily on the ground, legs shaking. He took a few steps forward and then fell, and he trembled.

"Jason, remember what I told you. The wolf won't control you. You control the wolf..." And Jason huffed a little angrily and crawled the rest of the way, before jumping into Styx's arms and holding out his arms impaintenly.

Tor smiled and turned to Miley, blue eyes ablaze.

"Who do you think you are? You have no god-damned right to march in here and command us like we're nothing! I give no fucks who you think you are! I challenge you. You may beat me, but I'll make sure you have scars for life, you bitch! I cannot stand people like you, running around as if you have a goddamn Monopoly on us. And you had the audacity to touch my mate... he's mine, and you won't get to be his mate! Fuck you, and the council!"
She didn't understand that Miley wouldn't be his mate, just alpha female.

Electricity ran under her skin like a current, and the scent of an electric storm wafted through the house.

Nikolaus

While waiting for Miley to respond to him, it seemed the dominant female had snuck away when Miley and Niko had gone into the house with the defeated alpha and the wounded child. Nikolaus turned as there was a shout behind the couple and the male turned as the couple's conversation was interrupted, making the veins in Niko's head pulse. No wonder Matthew had gotten fed up and left Winslow at the arrival of this female and she dared speak like she was in charge? Following the pair as they walked through the house and into the basement at that? ​

This female, who was really quite rude at interrupting a conversation and not accepting change, was now apparently challenging Miley to another fight and threatening to scar her. Well, there was no way that sat well with the loner at the female's side as he breathed in the toxic fumes of the cigarette and the damaging nicotine, though of course it wouldn't harm him being a wolf, the male removed his cigarette and held it between his fingers, breathing out the smoke. "You call this a pack?" Nikolaus questioned sharply. "You don't have the smell of this pack on you, either you left of your own accord or were banished so lost your position by default when you abandoned them," he spoke. "If you cared about this pack, you wouldn't have left in the first place and tried to help them recover from Bellatrix...but I guess that's kind of difficult to do when your mate ended up killing off the remaining warriors of Winslow isn't it?"

At her ludicrous and insane comment from the challenging female on Miley taking the male she'd defeated as her mate, Nikolaus started laughing at the sheer audacity of the comment given to the couple. Nikolaus would kill the wolf himself if he tried touching Miley and he had been defeated, by all rights he should be demoted to omega or banished from the pack if not outright killed to ensure he couldn't challenge Miley again. "He lost...he's no longer alpha. She wins by brute strength and cunning," he said, gesturing towards Miley when he was done laughing at the enraged female in front of him, even as the scent of an electrical storm wafted through the house, the scent of it mixing with burned bodies turning his stomach. Yup, his pups would never be joining this pack if Miley wanted him to stay. "She's not here to take that pathetic omega as her mate," said Niko with a growl. "She's here to whip this pack into shape and give it some semblance of normalcy instead of having crazy inbred wolves running the show." Her words on this council, though Niko knew nothing about them, other than ordering Miley to take the pack over, caused him to shake his head. Leaning in towards Miley's ear he spoke to her quietly. "That woman is the reason Matthew left Winslow," he murmured. "Bella apparently allowed her to have a position but didn't let some guy named Veridius, or his cousins have the positions they asked for. Plus her lack of disrespect and acting like she owns the place pissed him off when Bella already did such." Comet ​

Jackson Northwood

Jackson smiled as she pressed herself against him and sincerely and rather passionately expressed her intentions and wishes for the couple as he in turn wrapped his arms around her keeping her pressed against his chest.
"Then there is nothing more to worry about, we will go and whatever happens happens....but your not losing me Coyoty"
As he spoke giving her enough space so that his fingertips could gently raise her chin so her eyes met his own showing his vibrant and exuberant smile and the emerald gleam that brilliantly shone through as he simply looked at her to show that he meant his words.
Leaning in his lips softly caressed her own as his kiss affirmed his words and their meaning. He was loyal to her now, and though he was a bad boy as she called him...he was hers and only hers...

"Don't you ever speak of him like that! He is no Omega." She snarled, and turned to the male.

"He has done so much for this pack. We love him. He has fought and lead us to victory, you over spoiled brute."

Tor forgot her rage to Miley and turned to Nikolas, face contorted by rage and Grief, reminded by the many wrongs she committed.

"Yes, I left. But I've returned to right my wrongdoings. I was inconsiderate and impulsive, but I'm back now." Her blue eyes flashed with genuine sadness, and she shook her head.

"I understand I have no right here to speak, as I have no rank. But I do have some pull over the wolves here even without my status. Not only that, but a pack isn't run on command alone. It's tied together by blood as well-being family. And you have no idea what that means."

She looked to Styx lovingly and to their son, before pointing a finger at Nikolas.

"As much as I dislike Miley, she seems to have slightly more respect than you. It's not her blood I want. It's yours."

Tor let out a growl, and she dropped to a crouch, baring her canines and shuddered, as if fighting the urge to change.

"You won't get the pack without a fight. But once one of you beat me, you'll have my loyalty. But I want my licks in first." She shook her head at the blatant disregard at his hushed whisperings.

"We were doing just fine without you over powered and inbred and Insolent council members..."

She hissed, and she morphed- a brilliant white wolf with black paws, large and fierce, tail raised in dominance as she stood to her full height. Electricity sparked between her fangs, purple and white, and she shook her thick coat, ears pressed against her skull in aggression.

Andrew Ross
Andrew raised an intrigued brow at the females rather awkwardly stated question and to that he answered in kind by smiling a wolfish grin before taking off his shirt and letting it fall to the floor.
"Whatever makes you more comfortable Ellie..."
His words hinting at something and seeming more seductive rather than just friendly although it was possibly due to the vocal chords reacting to the change in his body.

Spoiler: Andrew Ross(Wolf Form)

As now stood a wolf where he had just been as he shook his pelt removing the remainder of the clothing he was wearing as he pushed his way through the door and into the kitchen area where food was waiting atop the counter it looked to be freshly hunted and had already been prepped to be cooked tonight.
The large pure blood male waited holding the entrance way open with his flank for the female to shift and join him for the meal she needed.

Styx stumbled inside, shifting into human form. He grabbed a pair of tracksuit bottoms, pulling them on as he kept his head bowed in shame. After all, he’d lost. By all rights he should be banished or at least demoted to Omega, and he loathed to think about which the new Alpha would choose. Spotting Tor, with a bundle in her arms, he limped after her, though didn’t seem too affected by the pain of his shoulder or leg. Pain had never bothered him after all.

When the child, his pup, toddled to him, Styx wrapped his arm around the little one and held him close, a silent greeting from the shamed ex-Alpha. At least his son was pleased to see him, but his eyes trailed to Tor as she started an arguement. Not wanting her to get into trouble, he held his son with one arm, and reached to put his other hand on his mates back, “Don’t Tor...” he mumbled, “It isn’t worth it.”

Artemis tensed at the callings. Who was that, demanding the pups? Shifting shakily into her human form, she picked up her newborns and nudged the other pups down the stairs, wary of whomever it had been but obedient none the less. She needed to know what was happening, even if she didn’t want to leave her room. She kept all the pups that had been with her close to her, holding the newborns whilst she coaxed Levi and Michis pups to stay near her.

She was pleased to hear his resolve. “Okay,” she breathed. She wanted to stay here but time was of the essence now. She stood then and took his hand. “We have planning to do,” first she rüffelnd his hair and then decided to spike it back a little. His style was softening and it was making her a bit sad. She loved runing her fingers though his hair and couldn’t help doing so. She stepped down and began to walk taking the boy by the hand with her. She wondered how difficult it had been for him to cross over the territory lines. It would have been hard for her if she hadn’t killed that wolf so long ago.

Now finding Gabriel was going to be the hardest. She stepped through the forest contemplating how to find her. She guessed Gabriel had to show up at the house eventually she would just have Jackson stay there. First she stopped however and pulled a string and took down a bear carcus. Her hunting exposition with Zephyr earlier proved well. “You can carry right?” She asked pulling another string and taking down a deer. She pulled that over her shoulders and began to walk towards the home she had chosen to make hers since she moved here.

Viserys stood, the pale snow around her. Her deep mahogany hair pulled to one side and braided messily. She was just exiting the greenhouse with her gathered spices. Onions garlic and some cucumbers. She even had some small pumpkins as she was planning on making her undeserving pack a meal. She turned them and laid eyes on him.

Her breath hitched hard and she was hit with a wave of anxiety that flushed though her body And rested on her chest like an anvil. “Y..... Yukio....” she whispered barely being able to talk at all. She stepped back. Her fingers clenching around the small pumpkins. It was all she could do to keep herself from attacking him. Rage, sadness and happiness all flowed through her like a river. Her face flushed pale white and she clenched tighter to the pumpkins grounding herself as the light snow began to touch her hot as fire skin melting upon contact.

Her wordrobe has not changed much. Today she wrote a pale blue pair of shorts and a grey loose fitting low cut shirt that had a matching pale blue tight tank top under. Her shirt had a rose on it and some sparkiling gems attached to it. When she moved they caught the light glittering gently. She stared at him her deep eyes staring into his soul. She wanted to make sure she wasn’t dreaming seeing him. Making it up in her head. For the longest time she thought she had initially. After he left it destroyed her world leaving her she thought she saw him but quickly banished the idea for fear they might think her incompetent at her job.

“Eh....” now the waterworks started and once they had she could not stop them.

Zechariah Hendrix​

Zechariah cautiously stepped inside the Hendrix's family home. From what he could tell the older female wasn't very pleased with his unexpected presence, though the younger male who greeted him at the door was. The older male was unreadable, he wasn't sure how to feel about the man's nonchalant expression. He wasn't sure whether he was welcoming towards him, since he allowed him in, or annoyed with his appearance. Nonetheless he still graciously sat down across the older man. The air in the room was tense, which was understandable since a random foreigner showed up at their house claiming to be a distant cousin. Zechariah took a moment to gather his thoughts, mostly thinking of what words were in English, then proceeded to respond to the man's question, "My mother was child of Hendrix affair. Her mother took her to Austria, run away from family shame. Mother was trouble and had me, I do not know father. Grandmother is directly related to your family."Zechariah paused momentarily seeing if anyone need him to explain more with his broken English, "As child I wanted to meet other family but could not since you live in America. My mother got your information and gave to me, I do not know how. I was curious and come to see. Good?"

He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, Zechariah hoped his explanation made sense through his probably horrible grammar and thick accent. Having to think about his explanation make him ponder why he even came in the first place or how is mother got their information in the first place. Heck this wasn't even the main family, the majority of them were in some place the guy called "Dakotas". This was fairly impulsive choice making and he honestly wished he had thought this through more. The probability of his travels going down hill or pointless were far greater then the said success. What would the success be in the first place? That he got to meet some people he was related to? Ein Haufen Unsinn (a bunch of bullshit), this was a horrible idea in the first place. Why would his mother send this to him anyway, what was her goal? Honestly he wouldn't know until he returned home, that's if he didn't find her in a bodybag with the stuff she's into.

Airis Qing​

The female seemed to have gotten the message she wasn't here for any harm from the way she dismissed her. Though what she was surprised by was how she mention about joining the pack. Airis quickly shifter herself back from her more vulnerable human form and darted after the female wolf. In the heat of the moment Airis didn't really process how shameful her actions were, but this would most definitely in the near future make her unable to ever look up into anyone's face again. The mere mention of a pack threw her for a loop. She instinctively wanted to be apart of a pack in the first place by nature, plus winter was upon them and she wasn't sure how she'd survive by herself. Airis was in no condition to fend for herself, not now, not ever. She didn't know how the pack would most likely treat omegas, the most likely role she would have, but it would be better than going it out alone. Adrenaline fueled her impulsiveness from her momentary encounter with dominant female. Everything felt like it was driven with pure instinct rather than logical thought. Her actions were definitely going to have consequences for the future. Regardless she called out to the female with a desperate cry, "Wait! May I please join your pack?"

 

[Cosmos]

Ellie timidly watched as the male took off his shirt, eyes widening a little before looking away and biting her lip in embarrassment, despite being raised in a pack where shifting was frequent and being undressed wan't uncommon with those she wasn't familiar with it was still rather- awkward. As he gave a grin and spoke the blush turned darker, glancing back over as though having sworn the tone said something more than meets the eye but letting out a small giggle as though trying to convince herself it didn't at the same time innocently.

As the male shifted completely luckily having left the trousers on she watched the form of the stunning yet gigantic wolf in front of her, she'd never seen a wolf form that large it was a tad off putting and she gulped nervously. Was this just a trap to lull her into changing so that she was smaller and he could attack? No she couldn't think like that, she had to stay positive. As he pushed his way through the door she took the chance to shift whilst he wasn't watching, quickly undoing the white dress with a swift and evidently practiced movement, her form changing into that of a rather sleek yet small female lightly creamy white wolf with silverish grey tones throughout. Shaking out her pelt letting it settle and huffing once, tail timidly wrapping around the obvious large bump protruding from her stomach, it was clear to see in females wolf forms and quite amusingly could be said to look like the female had swallowed a beach ball or something of the like, ears pressing down submissively she slowly and hesitantly put paws forward and went through the doorway giving a nod of thanks, body manoeuvring with a slight sway in order to balance the stomach factored in against the stretched pelt as she sniffed eagerly and whined lightly at the scent of the delicious food, without even realising her tongue lolling out a little on the side like a puppy wanting feeding ye teeing patient.

VeiledPariah

Michi had barely brought herself to watch the fight, whimpering and yelping loudly as the horribly injured female desperately tried to pull herself over and interfere, high pitched almost screams coming as she failed to move much further than a few steps having already pushed her body far past its limits with the initial crawl over to Tor and Styx, eventually her body giving in and collapsing leaving her to watch teary eyed as her big brother figure fell submissive to the giant pureblood. Able of little more than whining quietly to herself as she was picked ups squirming lightly in the uncomfortable hold before being placed down in the house, the yell startling the female and causing her to shudder inwards tensing as some of the pack lit a fire watching Tor return she let out a long howl after the other but cut off out of breath. Instead laying there panting and pressing her body down submissively as she spotted Artemis and her pups.

Raito and Chikari reluctantly were shoved downstairs by their caretaker of their mothers friend before spotting the female and rushing over to her pawing and clambering over to her yelping and growling with playful smiles, Michi trying to put on a brave face for them but wincing little to their notice as they bounded onto her haphazardly.

Nikolaus
​

"We love him," Nikolaus said mockingly to the former alpha female, so far as he was concerned. "I seriously doubt that claim," said Niko. Blood...for a moment the loner was reminded of Jasper's earlier teasing towards him about this pack and avoided looking at Miley. "Like I said, you lost your position as alpha and the right to challenge anyone when you have just confirmed to both of us that you are unreliable and not dependable at all," said Niko as he continued to remain at Miley's shoulder though as the woman then shouted at him and crouched down, like she wanted to fight the male just stared at Tor in boredom. His eyes then turned towards the sound of footsteps and the defeated alpha showed up carrying the toddler in his arms, putting a hand on the female's back and telling her to calm down. "Does this pack have a habit of putting their young in danger when there's going to be bloodshed and a fight?" he questioned out loud, not expecting an answer but finding this highly stupid. Simpletons, he thought to himself.

Nikolaus wasn't all that impressed with the female's words or her childish behavior. He saw it exactly as that, a child pretending to play adult with her whining over the change in dynamics. "Whether you came back or not, the fact remains that you abandoned them and if they are smart...which I don't have much hopes on...they won't forgive so easily." He kept his comments on what he thought of the pack's choices to himself, he would relay them to Matthew and Miley if either asked him, they were none of this pack's concern. "He lost...his fate on whether he remains, is demoted...or dies...is up to your alpha, whether you like it or not. As for fighting you...you're hardly with the trouble," said Nikolaus. Turning his gaze back towards the defeated male, Niko took another pull on the cigarette in his hand. "Miley, if we put gloves on, we can protect our hands from the silver cages and get the omegas to remove the torture stuff that's in the cave. Bella's bed can easily be hacked up into pieces and fed into the fire place, bigger pieces like the mattress we can have burned outside." Niko would be taking stock of the increase of wolves of course and passing things onto Matthew for him to decide what to do. Check on his pups as well...if Miley wanted him to stay and help run the pack...then he would be heading to Phantasm to take care of his pups as he could. "How many wolves have left your pack in the past three to four months or have you not counted and paid attention?" he questioned Styx this time. Comet Mentioned: Ryoko Lee WolfOfProphecys

Ice
​

Ice managed to catch the three dominant pups as they headed out into the snowy landscape around them, the omega shivering as the cold arctic snows hit him. "Pups come back! Your father will skin me alive," he said to himself. Thank God, Fern isn't out here, he thought to himself. If anything happened to the dominant toddler, Matthew would kill anyone and everyone in his path that he thought was responsible. He followed the pups's playful laughter as they moved from the safety of the cave before stumbling over Yem, the omega pitching forward and falling onto the cold and frozen earth. Grabbing the pup by her neck scruff, he picked her up and then stumbled through the snow, grabbing up Sebastian and Gina before carrying them back to the building and dropping all three pups on the ground. "Stay there," he said, looking nervously at Jasper and Aria as Vince and Matthew were not here and Axel had no real position within the pack. All three pups just stared at him as Niko's daughters' curled up next to each other, Erik still sitting off by himself. None of the pups seemed to mind that they were cold and covered in snow from their romp within the snowstorm. Ice was freezing however and went back out into the snow to get more firewood which was kept in another building near the cathedral where the pack would likely end up moving for the duration of their stay here, Matthew having put in glass windows and making sure the building was sound after they'd found the ruined sector. Mentioned: ElectricDandellion (Fern and Aria), CZDoubleU (Axel)

The remaining human family of the alpha of Phantasm, though none knew Matthew and Yaz were alive still or that their family had grown by three in the way of Fern from Katrina and Axel with Phyllis from Matthew, were quiet as the two adults sat down and waited for the stranger to speak, Rigel going back to watching cricket as the foreigner began speaking in broken English of why he had come here...to find his family...his mother being the product of an affair with his grandmother being a direct descendant of the family. "If you were born of a Hendrix, however distantly, you're a Hendrix," spoke Lucien. "This is how our family, our bloodline, our pack and curse work. We only have each other to rely on and trust." The family listened to what the male had to say before speaking to him. The male spoke of how he didn't know how his mother had gotten hold of the family's information.

"Are you a wolf?" questioned Esmerelda.

Rigel rolled his eyes at the question. "If you are a wolf, you need to seek out either of my older brothers...Yaz or Matthew. Either of them will be able to help you with finding your way as a wolf though Matthew will protect you since you're family. I don't know what Yaz is like since they were thrown out of the house or where they were. If you do find Yaz or Matthew...or even my sister Katrina, tell them I miss them and hope they're doing well and will come home or at least stop by for a visit."

Oracle

"Wait!"

The voice caused the hybrid to stop in her tracks, not looking back as she heard bones breaking behind her...so the foreigner was shifting into its wolf form. Snow began falling more heavily upon the hybrid and she pinned her ears back, informing her mate she would be on her way soon and to at least curl around the pups to keep them warm. Pulling her lips over her teeth in a silent snarl, Oracle darted her tongue out in exasperation, catching a few flakes on her tongue as the foreigner continued.

"Can I join the pack?"

Join the pack? Oracle had no say in this and neither did her human. Neither did her mate, so far as she knew. Maybe he did with him being male and a pureblood...he had gotten the two of them into the pack after an argument and allowed her pups to remain in the pack after rescuing them. "I do not know if you can join the pack, we are omega," said Oracle...referring to herself and the human within her. Not bothering to turn around, the hybrid sighed in irritation to herself. The omega flicked her tail behind her, peering around at the forest before turning. "Head back the way you came to town, take a left, head that way for a few miles and you'll reach the pack house," she said. "On second thought...stay there and freeze...I will return at some point." She had better priorities than showing a foreigner to the house...like her children. mikyuu Mentioned: VeiledPariah​

ARIA

Aria suddenly found herself growing irritable, her hands combing through her hair as she closed her eyes. “Why won’t you eat, pup? What is wrong- why is it that you won’t feed?” The young woman picked up the puppy and, almost instantly, she melted upon looking at the puppy. “Pass me that please, Fern, she said as she weasled the bottle out of the toddler’s hands. Cradling the puppy, she sighed. “You really not going to eat, Zenith?” Her eyes fixated on his, still holding him close. Maybe he just needed a female to pay him attention- sometimes that was the case with pups. Though, hearing Jasper talk, her somewhat faraway maternal instincts set alight. “Jasper, screw what Matthew says. All of the pups should feed at the same time. That would lessen conflict, right? And may help some of the younger ones understand what to do,” With each word, she stroked zenith, trying to coax the bottle into his mouth, hoping he’d feed for at least a little while. “If Matthew is going to decide to leave and not telling anyone when or even if he’ll be coming back, then it doesn’t matter,” she snapped, taken aback by her shifting mood swings.

“Oh God...my skin is so itchy,” Closing her eyes, she looked majorly uncomfortable, biting her cheek in order to resist scratching her arms. It felt like her skin was twitching. She had some sort of idea as to why she felt such a way, but she never really pinned it down to how extreme it could be. Yeah, she’d had a small heat every month, but being a somewhat newly bitten wolf, she hadn’t had a proper winter heat season. It wasn’t really as if she could ask for a variety of opinions as to what it was like- there was only one other female beside her who was in the pack. And, with her being in Matthews sights, well, she would probably need to be a bit cautious. So would other wolves if they tried to get at her. It seemed as though Matthew would have to find her a hideaway shelter elsewhere. She was certain the heat scent would begin sometime soon.

“Why don’t you take some snow from outside into a bucket Ice? Then you can let them play with the snow that’s in the bucket,” She mumbled, practically falling asleep as she slumped against the wall, puppy in her arms. With a whine, Fern soon followed, sitting on Aria’s lap and snuggling into her as they began to drift asleep- whether the other puppy would was a mystery.
