Snow laid her ears back and lowered her head in embarrassment. How should she explain this. "I actually... don't remember any like me before today. My pack was composed of wolves without wings and they were all killed when I was just a year old. I've been traveling since in the direction away from the human murderers." She sighed and looked off into the trees. She knew nothing except the basics of hunting and being a pup.

With his tail curling back and forth as Avaddon had stared at Snow curiously, when she had lowered her head it had gotten him to think that he might've said something to offend her and get her depressed. It wasn't his objective to make her feel so bad rather he was truly just confused on why the wolf was acting so strange just because she had met another of her kind. When Snow had explained that she lived within a pack of wolves that did not have wings just like her and that they were all killed one day when she was still so young, both of Avaddon's ears flattened against his skull. His own head still remaining on both of his front paws, while his gaze was still upon the white winged wolf in front of him. "My apologies for your lost." The white and crimson wolf was indeed curious on how the female was part of a pack that didn't have wings when she herself had them, although asking such a question at the moment wasn't probably the best idea. Avaddon hadn't really thought of any special place he wanted to stay living at since he originally had thought of continuing to travel the rest of his life. So maybe staying around for a little bit wouldn't hurt, these wolves were kind and even offered food for him. "Then do you wish to know about your kind?..." he had asked with his own wings slowly lifting up off the ground to fold against his back, now once more hiding the twin tattoos burned onto his skin.

Eagerness lit up her eyes and she took a few steps towards him as her tail began to wag. "Yes, very much so." She walked over and sat next to him, her eyes looking down curiously. Like many of the wolves she met today, he sported more than one color. She wondered if that was normal. "For example, you are more than one color. Did you have a mother of one color and a father of another?" She hoped it sounded logical. It sure was to her. Of course, birds flying high also had more than one color. So that might not sound as logical as she thought it did.

Watching as how Snow didn't seem to bother to even waste a single moment to make her way over toward Avaddon. His blackish brown eyes remained focused on her as she sat next to him, staring up at her with his head still upon both of his front paws. The white and crimson wolf couldn't help but stiffen his tail slightly since he had never really had another wolf come this close toward him before. The last time he had ever had another wolf this close was only when he was still with his mother and father when he was still part of his pack. When she had spoken up on asking if his own mother had one color while his father was born with another color to give Avaddon his twin colors on his fur. He couldn't help but let out a light chuckle only for a moment. "No, both of my parents had two separate colors. My father had orange and red while my mother had white and black. I had taken a single color from each one of my parents to give me my coat of fur." He had explained before shaking his head lightly. The thought of how Snow seemed to look like she was only one color confused Avaddon, although soon his thoughts went on that maybe her white color could've been two separate colors combined and that it had another shade of color in it as well. "Well do you remember anything about your parents?..or do you simply only remember your pack and those murderous humans?"

Snow frowned. This is where things were kinda weird in her memories. "It is hard to explain. It confuses me." She paused searching for words that would do her tumbled thoughts justice. How was she to explain her first memory was of a smooth, white, square cave and humans instead of her pack. That single memory, distant and fuzzy as it was, contrasted with everything else. The endless snow and howling wind. "I think I was born in winter. There was a lot of white and snow. My pack found me outside in the blizzard, which is where my name came from. My parents had recently given birth but lost their own young, so took me in. I was kept in the den and we played a lot." That summed it up well. She was kept in the den until summer. Her first trip outside was the last she saw of her pack alive. She didn't like these memories, the ones that came after leaving the den. It made her shudder.

Being told that her memories were hard to explain to the point that it even confused herself. Avaddon could only remain silent as he stared at Snow on awaiting for how she would try to explain her life. Soon enough, the white and crimson wolf slowly lifted himself off from the ground to sit next to the female wolf beside him. Turning his head over to look at her, he had kept his wings folded against his back softly. Listening to how Snow explained that she was born in the winter and that was where he name came from due to thee white snow as well as her parents losing themselves after a bit in giving birth. Staying silent after having her explain about her earlier life as a pup, Avaddon slowly took his attention out toward the forest for a moment before looking back at Snow with his expression showing barely much emotion on it. "Then if that is true...you need not worry. Your pack may had been gone, but if you are the last of your pack..you must remember that their spirits remain inside you. That is one thing of us winged wolves that you will soon end up learning on your own." Avaddon had spoken, he had known this from his parents at a young age before he had left his pack. All wolves had originally honored the dead and cared for them to never forget them in their memories, but however winged wolves had all kept their undead spirits of their pack members close to their own spirits. Many times, the winged wolves abilities and powers had actually come from dead pack members, not all the time did family abilities give the pups their powers. "Until we speak again about our winged wolves brethren, you need rest just like all of us must have." This time Avaddon had been more speaking to each of the other members including the firey female wolf as well as Bane rather then simply just Snow. Turning his back to the white female wolf, he hadn't bothered to really say another word but rather just walk away into the forest. He hadn't planned to run away to another place once more, but rather just wanted to go find somewhere peaceful to rest.

Snow watched him leave confused. His words were so cryptic to her. Of course the world made little sense. Only the simple animals of the forest seemed to have lives that made sense. Be born, learn and grow, have a family, teach them, and finally get eaten. She turned and looked at Bane, the questions inside her showing through her eyes. Spirits? Did he mean memories? She had no memories except that of those who took her in. And they had meant the world to her. Still, someday she would find a way to understand. For now, she stood and stretched. Feeling energized and slightly restless. How could she rest when she felt like running?

Gemini fluttered her wings a little as she looked at Bane.While the other two talked,she padded over to Bane,as close as she dared to get,and dropped to her stomach.She rolled over and exposed her neck without a word,showing her intention to accept his offer of joining his pack.Gemini had never been part of a pack,and she was more curious now after meeting Bane than ever.She wondered if he had a mate.

Snow's eyes widened. Gemini wanted to join Bane's pack? She remembered the wolf's words earlier, "I have no intention of joining that male's pack." Snow wondered at Gemini's intentions now. Had the wolf lied earlier? She looked to Bane. He was wiser, especially where other wolves were concerned. She would accept his judgement. Either he trusted her or he didn't. If he trusted her and let her join, then she would not worry about. It was not her place to do anything but follow his lead. She trusted him. Simple as that.

"Nothing that can not be worked with." Bane said to him as he shook his fur out, yawning once more as he watched and listened to the pair, it didn't bother him that his newest pack member was chatting away with a person that was just like her though it was clear that she was ignoring the winged female that had let him know that she wanted to be a alpha. He watched Gemini move towards him slowly and roll over to show her throat to him. He cocked his head to the side before placed his paw onto her stomach as he stared down at her. "What has made you change your mind?" he asked her, clearly letting her know that he had heard her telling them that she was not going to join his pack. He was still debating on wither or not if he should accept her into his pack, he believed that it would be good for Snow to have a female wolf that was also winged in the pack but there was also the chance that she would more then likely challenge him for the pack and that was something he knew he should be ready for and keep an eye out for it.

Slowly walking around the trees of this new large forest Avaddon had come across on his travels. He couldn't help but look up towards the different colors of each one of the leaves on each tree he had passed. Due to how many trees there were, it had made much of the forest ground around him darken and almost difficult for any ordinary human to see. Although if someone were to look up at the leaves, the lighting of the sky easily gave away the colors of each of the trees. Some were actually green leaves while there were others that had red, orange and even purple leaves. Avaddon couldn't help himself but let a light smile spread across his lips as he soon ended up reaching a medium sized river, it wasn't too small that someone could just walk over it but as well not too large that any predator could be lurking in the waters. The water was just right to the point that fishes swam around and perfectly made to drink out of without the worry of being washed away with the current. Slowly letting his body come to the shoreline of the river, Avaddon closed his eyes as he listened to the water's current run smoothly down each rock. At least with this silence, he was going to be able to stop and think about if he should join Bane's pack or if he should simply continue moving on after telling Snow about the other winged wolves like her.

Gemini looked up at the Alpha."It is true I want to be an Alpha someday,but I have realized,just be listening to you,that I can never do that if I never learn about pack life.I would like to learn what it's like to be part of a pack.And maybe,someday,I'll branch off on my own,but maybe I'll like pack life and stay...all I really know is,if I want to join a pack,I would like it to be yours,since you are clearly a great Alpha." She explained plainly.Gemini didn't know what had made her think that way,but it made sense,and she knew one thing for sure: she admired this wolf,as she had never admired any other,besides her parents.

That was definitely true. Snow had to agree with her on her reasoning. It appeared that the two of them had something in common, a lack of knowledge of what a pack life was like. She looked up at Bane admiringly. As far as she could tell, he was more than just a good Alpha, but the best wolf she had come across. Suspense killing her, she waited to see what he would say to that. She had eaten her fill and everyone was basically sitting around watching him for his decision. There was little else to do at the moment except rest anyways. Something she didn't mind but rather not do all day.

Bane cocked his head to the side as he listened to what she had to say, his mind going a million miles a minute before he took her throat into his jaw, biting down on her throat, squeezing it so that she would know that he could kill her before he pulled away, licking her throat in acceptance. "I appreciate your opinion. Now, You and Snow are equals, so be nice to each other." he said to them as he smiled, grabbing the deer that was basically bare and burying it under the ground before he grabbed the one that no one had eaten on and began to drag it back to his pack home. "Come, let us head home. You both seem to have a lot to learn about packs." he said to them both as he just leisurely moved through the woods, clearly not worried about anything going on around him, though he was very much aware of any danger that could be sneaking up on them. It took a while for them to reach the very large hollow tree that he had decided was his pack's home. "Welcome home." he said to them, there were a couple of male wolves and a few more female wolves that were with in the tree, they backed away from him, keeping low to the ground. He dropped the deer for them as he looked them over before he introduced Snow and Gemini to them and them to the two new females.

Snow wagged her tail happily when she saw their new home. A really large tree that had been hollowed out over the years by unknown forces provided shelter from the elements as well as security of walls for any defenseless such as the young, old, or sick. Keeping her wings folded tightly against her back to avoid taking up too much space that another might find annoying, she shy stepped inside for the greetings. There were several others, both male and female, that greeted her eyes with curiosity. That was when she remembered that normally winged wolves didn't mix with normal wolves. Momentarily she worried how that might affect their attitudes towards her, then shrugged it off. So far nothing horrible had happened. She was a part of this pack now and for that she was grateful.

Gemini got up and trotted after Bane,walking next to Snow the whole time.Her heart jumped at first sight of their new home.She had never seen so many wolves in the same place,and the tree itself seemed perfect for a pack home.She ruffled her wings a bit before tucking them close to her back.The other wolves seemed to be staring,but that was to be expected,since they were not only new but also winged.She tilted her head closer to Snow,and whispered,"This place is amazing,don't you think?"

After several minutes passing by of simply laying next to the running water of the river. Avaddon had reopened his eyes only to look at his surroundings for only a second, the relaxing sounds of the water running pass him had been soothing to the point that Avaddon had actually ended up falling asleep. There hadn't been many places where he actually had a peaceful but yet at the sametime safe place to lay down and sleep. Shaking his head softly to completely wake himself up, when the sound of a light growl escaping from the stomach of the young wolf had come up. A slight gasp immediately came from Avaddon's lips as he looked down toward his stomach, it was true that he had already eaten earlier before coming here but with the time going by and finally not having to worry about finding a spot to rest peacefully, he was able to now focus on his actual hunger rather then focusing on running away. Staring over at the crystal clear water of the river, the white and crimson wolf had stood up onto all of his fours before walking into the cool refreshing water. With all four of his paws into the water and the current running against his fur, Avaddon remained silent for a bit to listen to where the fish would end up so that he would be able to catch one. What was the point on running around on trying to find some dear and begin chasing after one when it was easier here to simply just remain in one spot where he could catch fish, and eat it where he could rest at the sametime.

Within another minute or so, Avaddon had quickly vanished from sight and in the next second was standing in another spot on the river's water. A single paw was placed deep under the water as he pressed his paw against a large yellow tail fish. Glancing down at the large fish underneath his paw, he lowered his head head down to the water before taking a large bite onto the fish's skin. Making sure not to take a chunk of the meat off of it but rather simply to kill it with his fangs digging deeply into the skin as well as bones, the white and crimson wolf lifted the fish out of the water and onto the shore within his mouth. Dropping the large fish onto the ground, Avaddon had laid his body down right in front of the fish. Reaching out with a single paw onto the fish, the entire body of it had quickly been electrocuted causing it to be cooked. The sweet aroma of the fish reaching his nostrils as he began to feed onto the large fish. Taking large bites out of the fish, the young made sure to keep his mind clear while he ate. Eating the cooked fish with electricity sometimes had brought back memories of him nearly killing his family which caused him to leave his pack, many times when he had thought too much about that. He quickly lost his appetite and usually wouldn't eat for the rest of the day if not longer.

Alee open her eyes as she slowly rose her head. Her ears stood straight as she heard another sound besides the water. She slowly rose to her feet as she made her way from the cave. The ice vanished in a instance as she leaped from behind the waterfall landing on the small lake below. Her eyes landed on the young male she had seen just earlier. She froze as she watched smelling the fish. In her years and the years of her elders she had seen very few wolves that could use electricity. She leaped onto one of the dry rocks on the bank some feet away from him not wanting to make him feel threaten at all. "I am sorry if I seemed rude to you." She said as she looked to her paws knowing it wasn't polite to stare. " I come here to get away for everything. If you want I will leave you bed to enjoy your meal. There is a empty den just a good run from here in the small cliffs made of stone. It is out of Ban's territory and the other wolves. This territory is mine or whatever wolf needs to call it home. " She said trying to be friendly hoping she wasn't coming off as rude and a know it all. "There are more dens here just about any you could want. There are some good deer herds here as well." She said as she looked up at the sky loving how beautiful it was.

Alee gave a bow of her head as she leaped away heading back to Ban's territory. She made her way through the trees and forest floor. She smiled once she saw the main den come into view. She herself moved with care and ease as she approached. She let her sent be known to the others as she headed around the dens to the back. There she herself sat on top of Ban's den and watched the trees and the sky.

Jason followed the wolf as he made himself apparent to her. "How long have you been here." He said as he kept perfect pace with her not allowing her to get away from him. He was more curious with her than anything. She had gained his attention and now he had to know about her.He didn't bother to hide himself from her anymore as he moved closer to her.

Within a matters of minutes of while Avaddon had ate his large fish, he had thought for sure that he was going to be alone the entire time. The calm yet soothing sounds of water current on the river was all that Avaddon had thought he would've heard. Although the sounds of another being coming closer and closer toward his location caused both of his ears to perk up. Immediately stopping himself from eating anymore of the fish, he quickly looked around his surroundings once more to see who it was that was coming. If it were a predator coming to think that they could either steal his own food if not try to attack Avaddon to make him their food, he was no doubt going to fight back. In the end, finding out the person who had been coming closer this whole time was actually one of the female wolves he had met earlier, it seemed to had been the female that had left the group. If he had remembered right, the wolf's name was Alee, she seemed to had been apologizing for thinking she had been rude to him. Lifting himself off the ground and rather to sit on the floor while he stared at the female wolf on the rock a few feet away from him, Avaddon could only shake his head. "Do not apologize..I do not mind. You simply wished to be alone. I do not care to be alone or not, I was only looking for somewhere to rest was all. You are welcomed to stay." The white and crimson wolf spoke before looking back down toward his half eaten cooked fish for a moment. Returning his gaze back onto Alee, Avaddon tilted his head to think that there were dens around where he could stay if he wished to be alone as well as a deer herd nearby. "I prefer to be staying outside in nature rather then being in a den. As for being in Bane's territory I do not really mind either. I feel rather comfortable here and will remain here for now." His voice barely showing much emotion in it as well as the expression on is face not showing really much of anything either.

Right before the white and crimson wolf could really speak on asking any question of his own. It seemed as though Alee had already ran off in the direction where Avaddon had come from earlier. Watching into the distance as she had ran off, he simply shook his head on trying to wonder what she had wanted on coming over to this place. Rather, he made his way over toward the river side to get a drink of the crystal clear water. Staring deep into the clear water, the reflection of the tattoos on his back were now easily seen as a large frown spread across his lips to see it once more. It always gave back many memories of the day he received it from himself, running away from his pack and his family exiling himself from ever returning to the people he cared about. Avaddon had slammed a single paw into the water, causing a large current of electricity to run across the water before bouncing off and hitting a large tree. With his emotions playing tricks on him from simply just thinking about his past, with power of electricity had grown nearly out of control for that one second as the tree was split in half. Both sides of the tree slammed down to the forest floor with a loud crash which seemed to be just enough to knock Avaddon back to his senses. "I must be more careful.." He scolded himself before shaking his head once more.

Bane smiled as he watched the two try and integrate into his pack, though it was clear that it was going to be harder then he anticipated. He climbed up the ledges that were hard to see though they were there, he moved towards the top ledge before he laid down, watching the interaction between them all. He smiled when he notice the males taking interest in them, though the females were growling and ready to attack them if they tried anything with their mates. "Hey you two have mates and the last thing i want is for them to tare the new members apart." he said to them as he rolled over and looked at them upside down now as he was laying on his back. "Snow, Gemini, you get the lowest ledge. Once you advance in the pack you move up in ledges too." he said to them as he smiled, after a few more moments, he moved to where they could not see him, sticking his head out a hole that was there to keep an eye on the forest. That was when he smelled Alee's scent, his head jerked up as he looked around before he pin pointed her scent, he smiled as he moved out onto the branch and looked up at her. "Alee....what do i owe the pleasure of your company too?" he asked her softly so as not to alert the others at that moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riya looked at him from the corner of her eye as she continued to run to the river, she finally reached a rather deep river a completely different one from the one that Avaddon was at. "A while." was all she said to him before she started to drink some of the water from the river. "What about you?" she said to him before she jumped in, going under the water for a bit as she let it was over her. After a while she came up for air, swimming to the shore, soaked to the skin as her fur was matted to her. She shook her fur out of the water as much as she could before she laid down on some lavender and grass before she rolled in it to dry off even more.

Alee stared at the sky as she smiled hearing Bane. "How are things going?" She said as she laid out resting. "I wanted to apologize for Jason he was wrong to get out of line with you. I also wanted to thank you for helping me today and for being kind to let me in your territory yet again." She said as she looked at him. "So what are your thoughts on the new wolves you've met today besides Jason we both know that one." She said as she laughed hearing his long speeches on Jason in her head. She peered down at the other wolves as she watched them and the new wolves. "It looks like you are going to have your paws full. Would you mind if I stayed here and help you. I will of course stay out of your way and hair. Unless you think it will bring to much trouble in your pack."

Jason watched her as he stood on the bank. "Long a very long time. Why haven't you made yourself known before now?" He asked wondering how she had hide herself for so long if she indeed she has been here long. "Where is your pack" He said wondering why she was alone.

"They are going to be fine. As long as the guys don't pay to much attention to them and make their mates jealous." Bane said to her as he chuckled, looking back into his den at his pack, he was proud of them, a fight had not broke out and the two were now completely accepted into the pack as they were all relaxed, eating the deer that he brought back for them to eat and laying down with the new members. "That hellion is a nuisances and you have no reason to apologize for him." he growled to her before he snapped at a bug that flew to close to his face before smiled up at her, giving a slight yawn. "I have no beef with you Alee. I know you have no pack and you were the second person i asked to join it though you chose not too." he said to her before he licked his muzzle clean, he could feel her eyes on him, though he did not let her know that he knew. "They are a unique bunch and things may work out though Gemini.....she will challenge me one day and i will have to take her down. Not kill her but injure her." he said to her as he sighed, giving another yawn before he stood up on the branch, being careful with his weight so the branch would not break under him. "My pack.....what of my cousin? You know how he feels about this right? Personally i need my pack to get along, to make sure they get along and not kill each other but it does not mean that it will work that way." he said to her as he sighed, shaking his fur out before he laid down on the branch once more, huffing as his head hit his paws. "Are you saying that you finally want to be apart of my pack?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shouldn't introductions be in order first?" Riya said to him as she stood up, licking her fur until it was laying flat, it may have been a cat thing but it helped her fur to look nice after being wet. She turned her head and looked towards the woods, the darkness helped hide her as she stood still, not moving as she just blended in with the darkness before she turned and looked at him. "Why would you want to know about me? You have a pack and i am a loner that is all there is to it." she said to him as she cocked her head to the side, the white inside of her ears showing as her bright blue eyes practically looked into his soul.

Snow nodded in agreement with Gemini. "I like it here. Though there are a lot of wolves. I mean after being by myself for so long, this is a bit much." She didn't know why she had admitted so much to Gemini. Probably because she felt she had to explain the apprehension she was feeling. With Gemini's ability to sense emotion, that was not something she wanted misunderstood. Looking over the lower edge, she asked, "So do you want to be closer to the door or further away?" She herself wanted to be further away. Reminded her more of the den she had spent with her pack. It had been a lot smaller. Only the nursing mothers had really stayed inside. Here there was space for everyone out of the elements.

Alee looked to where the others wolves where as she thought of what he said. "Bane I didn't join your pack because I was needed else where when you asked. You have been my only childhood friend the only wolf not afraid of me and would accept me. Even if I was to join your pack I would not be able to be only the packs. It is my job to heal rather I like it or not. I chose not to join because you didn't need to hear it from the other packs that you thought yourself a god since a ancient joined your ranks. You where young and my friend I didn't want you harmed or attacked because of me as I still don't. Jason is his own wolf Bane. He is my friend just as you are, but I am very tired and growing to old to babysit witch is what I do with him. It's time he make a life for himself without me and I make one of my own. " She said as she cut her eyes to Bane. She leaped down almost on top of him in a playful manner as she nipped at one of his ears then leaping back to her spot knowing she had instigated a playful fight at the least. Her eyes glowed with happiness as she stood with her rump in the air like a pup ready to play. " I miss my best friend. And the smart mouth that has no issue standing up to me as I don't to him." She said as she peered down to him. "If you'll let me take that invitation now I would love too. But I hope you know that means you will be stuck with me and whoever you choose as your mate will be too. Because I will keep you on your toes and stand up to you when you need it. And I will teach your daughters and Son's to hunt better than you do. How did your father put it, "Son you hunt like a over size bear your so loud." You have to admit you kind of are still to this day." She said in a playing manner knowing he was going to at the least leap at her for her commits. Her eyes though wondered to the pack of his she knew each one the new ones she still had much to learn from them and about them. "Bane, as your friend you should take a mate soon. You have spent to much time alone. I had hoped that when I turned you down you would have ran off and found a mate to help you lead the pack. You know that is what your father would have wanted. Your father had told me once that if I didn't watch out you'd take me. I told him I was just your annoying friend and more like a sister. That is why he told me to make sure you find a mate that would make you smile and happy as I did when we where younger. That is why all the random female wolves for the longest kept appearing. There was some kind of freak ice storm and what do you know they all ended her here for you. Yet you some how have chose none of them. I honestly thought you would have taken Wing. You had seemed to love her when we where younger. I have never understood why you didn't. I am not prying my dear friend but I do worry for you. Someone has to worry for you since you have so many to worry for." She said as she sighed. "You really haven't changed over the years. I remember when Jezebel flouted herself about for you and you just ignored her. Witch honestly I loved. Though I did love ripping my teeth into her...." She paused as she realized she was about to admit to being the one who had left the female wolf with such bad injuries that the wolf never recovered. She sat up regal as every not allowing herself to further incriminate herself of other females she had disposed of who where not good enough for Bane. She looked to the sky. "The sky is beautiful isn't it." She said changing the subject quickly.

Jason just stared at the wolf as he felt a slight grin form on his muzzle. He had to admit he did like her. He stared straight back at her allowing her to see anything and everything she wanted. "Well then you know I have no pack. My pack was killed and I was the only survivor. I owe Alee because she found me and has helped keep me safe. Though our ties are weakening. For some reason she has chose to befriend the only family I have left who left my family to die. So no I have no pack just a pack full of wolves I would love to kill honestly. But not to worry there are to many others that would kill Bane if they felt the need to. As for introductions I am Jason son of Blaze." He said to her as he kept his eyes on her.

Bane listened to what she had to say about her reason as to why she had not joined his pack, it was true they were childhood friends and he was young and naive back then, thinking they could be together and start their own pack. His muzzle was clenched shut as he just listened, letting her speak her mind as he tried to keep his emotions in check. He understood where she was coming from, he understood that she could not be tied down to one pack or one wolf, it was something he had to accept when she turned him down to begin with.

"Only a fool would think himself a god because of the strength of his pack." he mumbled as he sat up, turning his head to look out over the tree tops, listened to the small chatter that was going on inside of his den, none of them were bound to him, he did not force them to stay, he was just the pack leader, accepting those that had come to him to join. He had let every last one of them know that they were free to come and go as they wanted too and that he would not stop them. He gave a surprised yelp when he was pushed back onto a laying position on the branch and felt his ear being nipped playfully by Alee.

Once he was free he turned and looked at her, giving her a confused look, after all they were adults and he tried not to play such silly games anymore, he had to much responsibility. He carefully jumped up to where she was and pinned her down as he looked into her face, he then nipped at her ear before he licked it sighing as he moved away, putting an end to the playfulness as he had a serious look upon his face.

"That is why i wanted you to join to begin with. My pack is loyal which is good but i do not have that person that will stand up to me or put me in my place or help keep me in check when need be. The invitation to you is always open, Alee. Though i will not take your throat into my mouth and i will not hold you here. As far as everyone else is concerned you are a free wolf that has taken refuge with my pack." he said to her, smiling at the mention of his hunting, of course he was loud about it but he could be quit when he needed to be and even then it was only with an enemy that he would be quit with, not that Alee would know that.

"That is because most of them had mates already, Alee. The rest just were not what they seemed." he said to her, a blank look crossing his face as he let her up, moving off onto another branch before dropping down on the one that he was on before, looking out into the woods to make sure his pack was safe from danger. He understood her concern for him and why she wanted him to find a mate, but he did not need a mate, he could take care of his pack and watch over it with out a mate, besides there was no one he deemed worthy to be his mate or the alpha female, not yet anyways.

"Wing was a crush back then, sure i had strong feelings for her but they were not strong enough to get to her or for me to do anything about them." he mumbled to him self before he scratched at his ear, yawning once more before he pawed at his scarred eye, the one thing he had avoided talking to anyone about, the one thing he would never tell anyone how he got including Alee. At the comment of Jezebel coming from Alee's mouth, his head jerked up to look at her, he had a questioning look upon his face, not missing a beat of the conversation that they were having, not even letting her change the subject. "Alee. Are you telling me that your the reason that she left the pack?" he said to her in a stern voice, he knew that she had been seriously injured when she had left but he did not know if she had lived or not. Sure the female tried to get his attention and flouted her goods around for him, but he was not interested in her and had let everyone know it by ignoring her but that did not mean he had not tried to help her when she was injured.

Riya stood up looking at him once more before she trotted back off to her make shift home, thing about the male she had met and what he was getting at, she knew males, they always wanted something from a female. "Now how would i know something like that?" she said to him as she looked back at him, seeing that he was following her, she then turned her bright blue gaze back to the direction that she was heading. "Maybe this wolf she has chosen over you, is who she sees as her mate." she said to him bluntly, letting him think about it more for him self then comforting over something so small and pointless in her opinion. "My name is Riya. Daughter of none." she said to him as she finally came upon her small home, she kept moving towards and right before she reached the wall, the ground shook as the closed entrance opened up once more to allow her in. "Hmm....i guess that pretty much sums up me."
