Ember's Story

"My dear Beta i think you are forgetting who is in charge here, besides i'm a business man not a cook, what ever i make comes from a box or plastic package" Luke grinned playfully at Ember then looked back in the fridge, seening some left-over meat loaf and mashed potatoes.

"want some?" he asked holding up the contents, his grin still on his face

"EMBER!! that is no way to talk to your ALPHA!! and what do you mean you would be Alpha if you didnt have boobs!? your family have always been Beta's, you have BETA blood in you nothing else! the only way you could have become Alpha is if I was a girl and you were a guy and you would only be Alpha until i found my Mate!! there is no possible way you could ever be Alpha, until you i was born to be this!!! never talk to me like that again" Luke said the last part coldly. He stormed into the backyard were he shifted into his huge pure black wolf then ran off into the tree's to let off some steam.

OOC: dont worry they wont, the creator and i have already decided to make our characters mates.

'How dare she speak to me like that, like i am HER beta, her grandfather am have been Alpha until my father challenged him for the land so his pack could get more territory, but her grandfather and his pack lost giving my family claim of this land, she is lucky i even made her my Beta' Luke growled and ran faster. His long black legs carrying him towards the stream that ended his territory and went into someone elses.

He was now close enough to smell the river. He also caught the scent of his beta and gamma plus to unknown wolves.
He saw the back of his gamma and walked over to her, domanance in his stance as he saw two other wolves on the other side.

One looked to be another alpha and the other one....
was beautiful

Her pure white fur glistened with water coming from the river, her tail wagging playfully as she lay on her belly and her silver eyes held amusement. A strange urge to go and play with her coursed threw Luke but he ignored it as he stood beside his gamma, now fully in the view of the other alpha

Dylan tracked the Alpha's scent going from her territory back to his. The masculine scent he gave off was intoxicating, as she took in another whiff of air. The scent of cherries came from the north and Dylan being as curious as she is tracked down the new scent. The male seemed to be going in the same direction and as Dylan neared she saw a female brown wolf. The wolf was beautiful as she sat there staring into space. She smelled like a Beta, and instantly Dylan got on her stomach and crawled forward showing she wasnt a threat. Dylan whimpered

Luke stopped running as he heard her go another way. He ran after her thinking she wanted to be chased now. He grinned at the thought.
But as he neared her he caught the scent of Ember, guilty and anger flashed threw him. He felt bad for what he had said to her and didnt want her to be mad at him anymore. He was happy and he wanted her to feel the same.
He walked up to her and saw the white wolf on her belly whimpering. 'good girl' he thought to himself then turned to Ember

Threw the mind link he spoke
'Ember i am sorry about the way i was acting, my alpha ego kinda took over but listen i am sorry for yelling at you its just you know how you hate to be disrespected well so do I but listen i want you to be happy and enjoy yourself because today is a very special day so this is a one in a life time thing but....I am sorry and i hope you can forgive me and come play with the rest of us" he gave his best wolfish grin and waited for her response.

Dylan rose from the ground and looked between the Beta and the Alpha. The beta gave a playful growl but Dylan could tell it wasn't really.She shook off the dirt that had gathered in her white fur and pawed the ground.
She walked over to the Alpha and nudged him in the flank then walked over to the Beta.
Dylan tensed her muscles and put her behind in the air then pushed off the ground,tackling the other she-wolf, nipping her ear and playfully growled.

'please come play with us? she asked

'your not bothering u...' Dylan was interupted all of the sudden when two female brown wolves shot out of the bushes, tackling her. One had her neck in there jaws and the other pinned her down so she couldnt move. Dylan whimpered feeling the brown wolf's sharp canines sink into the flesh of her neck. The sharp coppery smell of blood filled the air.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'stop shoving me Mia!' Alice barked weaving threw the trees trying to aviod her sister. 'Not until you tell me where you put my phone!!' Mia growled nipping at her sisters tail.
Alice growled at Mia but then a unknown scent trailed into her nose and she stopped suddenly, making Mia smack into her back and tumble over Alice.
Mia growled but then caught the scent and shot up onto her feet. They nodded at each other, signaling to attack. They shot threw the bush to see their Alpha and Beta with an unknown white female. They attack her together, Mia grabbing onto her neck and Alice pinning her down so she couldnt move.
Mia bite down harder ready to kill the she-wolf, her blood flowed into Mia's mouth. It was unnaturally sweet for a werewolf and made Mia crave more. She growled deep in her throat

Dylan stayed in her little ball of white fur, cuddling herself. Her ears shot up as she heard light foot falls coming towards her. She looked up to she the beta wolf on her belly showing she was not going to harm Dylan.

'yes i'm fine just a bit spooked and its alright its my fault i should have noticed them sooner' Dylan's voice was only a whisper but she knew they could hear her but of the enhanced hearing.

She crawled over to the brown wolf and cuddled into her side.
She was like the big sister Dylan never had but have always wanted. Even though she is not of her pack she felt safe with the Shadow Moon Pack beta and Alpha.

The moment Shaun left, she did too, immediately shifting and rocketing through the forest, leaping over the stream. She came to a stop in a spray of dirt and ground cover as she surveyed the scene. The white wolf, although now healed, still had blood stains on her neck and Azalea's ears drooped a little. She'd taken this chance, forgetting all about the more volatile members of her pack...she stared at the two young wolves for a moment and sighed.
"I take full responsibility for this, I wanted to play, so I shall take their punishment, whatever it shall be. But girls, this is not out of kindness that I say this, nor foolishness. And to both Alphas, they are young...rather as I should have definitely known better. Forgive me." She said before laying down and rolling onto her back.

"Are you alright my dear?" She whined out at the white wolf, turning her head to see how the other female was doing. She saw her bonding well with the Beta and the Alpha. After thinking that she had been showing her belly for a long enough time, she got up and went to the white wolf, licking the blood off of her fur. She felt it was the least she could do.
'You shouldn't have had to be keeping an eye out for them...I am sorry that this has happened.' She whispered into the white female's ear before she moved away a little to give everyone room to check on both the white wolf and the two wolf sisters.

Luke watched her. Her white fur stained with the remaining blood from her neck.

Her wanted to kill Alice and Mia, but he couldn't, he may be the Alpha but he had to understand when things were a mistake.

He walked over to Ember and the white wolf, laying beside the white wolf he cuddled, pressing his white black body against her smaller white one.

He didnt know why he felt like he had to protect her and he didnt care.

Dylan cuddled into the two wolves that surrounded her. Feelings of warmth circled threw her body and she loved it. She whimpered when the cream colored wolf moved away.
'please stay' she whimpered, she didn't care if she was acting childish, she haven't felt like this since her parents died. The two wolves that attacked her crawled over on their bellies joining the little circle of warmth they all had created.
'we are so sorry' they whimpered at the same time.

'its alright no physical harm' Dylan said calmly. Though there was no longer any physical harm she still felt torn inside at the thought of her parents. She hadn't thought of them in years.

The only time she had ever talked about them after they died was when she became so depressed her Alpha got worried. Thats when he pulled her into his office and helped her with the pain. She have done anything in her power from that day forth to please her Alpha. Even now as he stood protectively watching she left like a little sister to him. The warm feeling spread at the thought and without realizing in she fell asleep welcoming the comfort it now brought her.

He snarled and sat down, he didn't know why this young wolf would take their punishment. He looked over at Dylan and sighed, I told you to be careful! His tone was full of supressed anger, but mostly concern for her. Standing up he walked over and nuzzled her. Everything will be allright... Do you want to go home? He looked back at Azalea and shook his head, I do not wish to punish you... but... it is up to your Alpha who gets punished and how they get punished. He paused and motioned around with his face. I am not in my territory. I will respect his role as Alpha. He gave the black furred wolf a firm nod. He stood back up and gave another snarl to the twin wolves. He sat down and watched everyone else. He would not leave until someone got punished for harming one of his pack, even if he had to harm someone himself. Which wolf made the attack? He asked firmly.

When Dylan shot up out of her spot between Azalea's Alpha and Beta, the mottled femme moved and sat right in front of Dylan. With all the growling and snarling, it was giving her a bit of a head ache. She stared right at Shaun, and held the stare...she knew she shouldn't have, but she was determined that if anyone had to take the fall for something, it would be her.

"There doesn't have to be pain. Just no more playing for a long looooong time. Everybody wins, no blood being spilled, no noses out of joint and we all go our separate ways for a bit. Brute force is not always the answer, and I will protect these girls to the death." Her voice only quavered when she barked out the word death, She meant no disrespect, but the more she stared, the more she knew that she could very well die here. Look away....do it! A voice in the back of her head whispered, and she pushed it away, blocking it right out as she continued her staring at Shaun.

(ooc: Okay...seriously Hayden? No acknowledgement of Azalea and her actions...at all? this has happened like....3 or 4 times now and it's not cool, I mean...she's not even getting grizzled at for staring at Shaun?)

Azalea snorted as her Alpha preached at them, still staring at Shaun before she sneezed and had to look away. His words washed over them and she sighed as he said the two girls would be punished later.
"The two girls won't be happy when they go to see their mate, with any sort of punishment hanging over both of their heads." She grumbled in her mind, unknowingly also grumbling it aloud as she stared at the forest floor. It was times like these that she hated her Alpha, so much arrogance and confidence in such a young man. He was short sighted, couldn't he see that the girls would likely be imagining what their punishments would be, even through the mating ceremony? It would likely cause them to be in a fearful mood, and any mood other than a joyous one, was not something that Azalea stood for.

(ooc: It's all good :) )

Azalea smiled at Ember before trotting over to her and nuzzling the brown wolf gratefully. Up until now she'd felt that she hadn't really had a voice in the pack, but she'd been heard by at least one other whom agreed with her.
"You know...I reckon I should have been a massage therapist, to get rid of everyone's pesky pains." She said in a half serious tone before she jumped as the Alpha spoke to her through the mind link.

'I know, I know...you Alphas get to have alllll the fun, staring at each other and all. Please don't kill him, there's something, like a tenuous sort of feeling. Like you and the white wolf I guess, and she really is a sweetie.' Her slightly teasing reply came straight back to him and she shook herself a little before he addressed the rest of the pack. She made a relieved noise and then nuzzled him back lightly before she watched him do it to all the others.
"Careful...or people might think your pack is a harem." She yipped with a laugh before padding over to Shaun, her tail swaying from side to side before she stopped right beside him.

She gave him a wolfish grin as he began to trot off and Azalea followed him to the creek.
"Why don't we play a game of your choice, as a sort of....consolation prize?" She barked gently, sitting beside him as he laid down and she leaned down to nip his ear playfully. She went from serious to playful in a refreshingly short amount of time, she was a wolf that was young at heart, but had the wisdom of a few added years. "So...haven't found your mate yet ? I haven't either...I was always hurrying to get back in time in past years, and missed it by at least a few days. So this year, if I still don't have a mate, I'll just stay up north until death I reckon." Azalea knew that she was over sharing, but there as still that tenuous connection...like the Japanese peoples notion of a red string of fate. It was real and it sure as goodness was real.

When the white wolf came over to her and wagged her tail, wanting to play tag, she laughed a little and nodded her head.
"Looks like Dylan made our decision for us Shaun. Nice to meet you Dylan, my name is Azalea Redwood." She said with a wolf-smile and she wagged her tail, standing up so she could hear the rest of what would be going on with the game of tag.
"Oh no, we have 15 seconds! Up, up! We gotta run!" She nudged Shaun's rump with her nose and then skittered away with 12 seconds to go...straight into Shaun's territory.

Liam had heard everything from his perch on the hill. He almost stormed over there to protect Dylan, having a soft spot for the small female. They were both quiet in the pack and he liked her soft,kind natural. It also made her seem more delicate.
Alot of the pack was protective of Dylan, especially with the death of her parents at such an young age. He watched as they continued their games now, keeping a close eye on Dylan. The wind's shifted and he caught the scent of cherries. His mouth started to water from the intoxicating scent.

He hopped down from his perch and followed the scent, trailing into the other pack's territory. He hesitated but continued on his way, stopping at a clearing, his eye's scanned the area and landing on a beautiful reddish female. Her coat glistened as a little sun ray found its way threw the thick upper canopy and onto her fur. She smelled of Beta, her rank not only showing in her stance but in her scent. She looked to be hunting as she laid on her stomach. A grey flash in the under brush told him there was a rabbit and he smirked to himself.

He barked loudly, making the rabbit scurry off
