Setting

Sin’s jaw set at the voice of Nia, mid-discussion on a plan of action. Did she miss anything? He stood up and stalked towards her finding her particularly refreshed scent and look, further irritating. So she had time for a shower to spare. Just dawdled over at her own luxurious pace. “And what took you so long?” Before she could have an opportunity to answer he continued cornering her to the very wall she leaned against casually, his arms braced either side of her, staring her down. “You see the people in this room? That’s your pack. When I’m not around, they depend on you. You have a job to protect them. You think because you’re the beta you can do whatever you like?” He were definitely after her submission even going as far as to lowly growl at her.
She could try escalate the matter if she liked. Turn into her own wolf form again and mistake him for the kind of dogs she fought and took down in the pits. It wouldn’t be very fair to Arrow’s place but it’d teach Nia a lesson.
“So what do we do?” “Ideally, hope they leave on their own. Otherwise, we hunt. This is our home.”
Caleb were struggling to navigate the woman before him. Most people he could make more sense of but she were…odd. And random. Distant but present. He blinked stunned by her next words proposing to leave the bar suddenly. “Uh, sure,” he replied, scrambling around for his leather jacket which he slid his arms in and flicked up to his shoulders.
Before escaping the bar with her he heard the shaken voice of one of the men from before. “….They killed her, man, then they took Zeke….Pack….I need help….Werewolves….Send others.” He glanced over his shoulder to the hunter on his phone, hanging up and rubbing his forehead. Caleb then exited the bar.
They had only managed what seemed like a few steps before being stopped by an alpha. She radiated dominance in her own way. “Shit,” he muttered under his breath. In a lame attempt, Caleb kept his distance and tried to hide his eyes, averting his gaze looking everywhere but at Mikaela as the friends exchanged words. The other alpha tried recruiting him a few times and she did once. But Caleb didn’t play nice with others and couldn’t become the type to live by their principles rather than his own. In his eyes it were just easier to be a one-man pack.
Normally he wouldn’t be so unsettled by a packs presence if he hadn’t caused them hell with the whole body incident. He didn't like the likelihood that the dark haired woman with the blue eyes were a wolf all along either. Should've damn well known it! Were this some weird well played trap?

"N-No, I.. Come on, Sin, I'm fine. Look at me.." She said, holding out her arms a little. Oh she was definitely more than fine with having time to shower, but she didn't say that. Not in-front of the tames. "..Can we--not do this right now?" She asked him quietly, her gaze slowly wandering off to the side, and glancing around the room at the others who were watching their little tiff. Her eyes now wandered back to her Alpha, causing her to sink a little more into the wall if it were possible. "I'll talk to you when we get home." when she heard him growl, her instincts made her eyes turn golden as she growled back protectively while flinching from him slightly. He was right though, she should of been here to protect them, but she truly thought she was doing the right thing by saving her Alpha. She definitely could try her luck here, even if she knew that Sin was stronger than she was, but she would still try to defend herself, even if it meant to her death. But, Sin had saved her from the pit, so out of respect, and pure loyalty that she owed him for saving her life.. Nia submitted and lowered her head slowly, falling under his command. "It won't happen again. I'm sorry."
{Arianna Tolsa}
"A diversion." Arianna muttered quickly as she flipped out her cell phone and showed Mikaela the pictures of the beta from Sin's pack killing the hunter. "I back tracked the scent of the hunter to the bar. Also... The smell that had been blanketing the girl was there too." She ran her fingers through her hair scratching her scalp. She sniffed the air and glanced back at Caleb, his scent was there with the body. Her brow furrowed and a low growl erupted from her chest. "Him..." She looked back at Mikaela and shifted her eyes to the ground, "I was careless, I'm sorry." She lowered her head and looked at the ground, when Mikaela placed her hand on Arianna's shoulder she jumped slightly then looked up and smiled softly. "We are in serious trouble though. More hunters will come. What do we do then?"
They could just leave it alone and let the hunters get Sin and his pack, but Arianna knew Mikaela wouldn't like that idea, after all Sin was still her blood brother..
{Daniel Parker}
Danny could feel the tension in the air and quickly made an attempt to defuse it. He walked over to the man that had come with Arianna and held out his hand a big grin on his face.
"I'm Danny, Sorry about Arianna. She can be a bit cold at times but once you get on her good side... She warms up some." Daniel smiled and shrugged at the look Arianna gave him, that girl could freeze lava sometimes. He would never admit it but she sometimes scared him, but he knew her intentions were good. She just wanted to protect the pack, they were her family, Danny knew that best of all, they two of them were like siblings.
For a moment her eyes flickered on the suspicious figure by Arianna before she presented her phone with horrific shots of a new attack. Mikaela lightly placed her fingertips on the edge of the phone to inspect the image closer. A wolf of timber color, digging into the blood scene remorselessly. The crime went beyond self defense and continued even when the human was well dead, almost as if feasting in gluttony. How could anyone kill, much more butcher! with such ease and remain free from a dirty conscience? Only one of Sin's members, obviously. She glanced back up to Arianna as she continued to explain her absence and actions, though it fell under intuition which Mikaela was happy to promote in her pack. Wolves should have been more attuned to that kind of stuff after all and it came in handy.
She glared likewise at the male positioned for a get-away, realized as the killer to Arianna's snout. She was about to lay into him about the consequences and havoc he had caused before Daniel stepped in as peace-maker. Or certainly a tension diffuse. Mikaela sighed out softly closing her eyes and letting her rage slip away. Daniel was taking care of it. And in a much more friendly way too.
Though, Mikaela heard every word of Arianna's, she was stuck on one big factor. A wild had killed a man in cold blood. There weren't official treaty terms but she felt killing a man spoke for itself as a serious violation and crime that the tame pack had right to get involved in. "Find Sin and his pack," she answered. She could worry about Caleb another day as a priority. "Make sure he tags along," she added with a head gesture towards Caleb.
Hopefully some Alpha to Alpha talk would be in session at Sin's will. She just wished they could lose the common meeting grounds as a dead body or a threat to the werewolf population in Silverwood. Her strides implied her mind was set. Admittedly, not 100% sure of what she was going to do when she stood before the wilds again but she knew there needed to be another confrontation.
Instinctively she rose at the tension in the small room. Whether it was to flee or defend herself, she wasn't sure but she didn't like Sin glowering over Nia. The two were both ready for a fight and she didn't particularly like the easily activated fire in their guts for a fight. It was rare for one to stand down but thankfully Nia behaved.
Hunters had nothing to hunt if nothing was there.
He didn’t like being spoken about in a lesser way but being outnumbered, all he could provide was a low growl from his own chest. His eyes moved to a nicer man, around his own age that came to introduce himself as Danny and apologize on behalf of Arianna, the one he had met in a peculiar circumstance in the bar and who growled at him. Caleb would’ve liked to of been chatty with the nice guy but given only a few seconds later, the alpha announced taking Caleb with them, he decided he didn’t have much to share or a reason to be equally as pleasant. “Caleb,” he said shortly with a quick hand shake. He followed the pack at the rear accepting his prisoner status. But how long did she intend for that to last?
This was exactly why it was better to be a loner. Caleb didn't have to bow or answer to anyone. And despite the one kill he had made, there was a whole lot less drama for him.
He blew out his lips softly. So not only was he tagging along with the tames, judging by their attitude towards some killing, but he was walking in between some pack tension. At least the wilds may have got that killing happens. The wolf takes over, you blink and you've killed a daughter of a hunter. "So is Sin the other Alpha?" he checked. He smirked a little as it may push a button with the others.
Sin’s gaze didn’t shift from Nia until he was sure he had her submission and then he backed away, granting her personal space again. He didn’t care much for her excuses, just as long as he had her word to not disobey him again. Paige spoke, diverting his attention to hear her speech. Her prompt was not to jump to conclusions and hunt the hunters. Eventually the matter would subside in time and he had no doubt that it would. But for how long should they be sitting ducks? Hunters could be a sickly ambitious type. He sighed out softly rubbing the back of his neck as he stepped toward Paige to deal with her. “I understand your…reluctance to kill but if they are coming for us, then they’re gonna figure out we’re werewolves and they’re not gonna think twice about killing you or any of us.” She was a big girl so she could have it straight with the harsh reality. All of the wolves in his pack could. “I just don’t know what to do about the tames,” he said, stroking his thumb over his own bottom lip.
The chances of Paige’s hopeful thinking were slim. Possible. But slim. It’d be a dream for them to find the one body, halfheartedly look for the killer then just leave.

She had packed her stuff one night into a rucksack when she was younger, told her mum that she was running away, and left that same night after leaving a note on her bed for someone to find. They found her the next morning sleeping in the tree house that her father had once built for her to play Pirates in with her friends from school. She adored that tree house, even to this day she still sat in it. It had been the last place her Father had been before he left. Every time she asked about him, no-one seemed to want to talk about it, but she was determined to one day find out, and to find him.
She finally re-opened her eyes after a couple of seconds, her gaze now on Sin, and Paige. “I just don’t know what to do about the tames" Nia was smirking behind Sin's back now. She had plenty of ideas what to do about them, but maybe she should just stay quiet this time. She was in enough trouble as it was, and also in Sin's bad books for the time being.
