It was time to leave the link up location and it was still just Lilith and Herbert. "Best get going, huh Herb?" the old man spit a big glob of tobacco in response. Lilith rolled her eyes and said "Alright then, let's go." and lead the way to the mouth of the North Pass trail. After a few steps the path started to slope upward. It wasn't a difficult trek, she was taking the old guy's knees into consideration but it was a long way up. She wanted to go this way because a lot of eagles had been feasting from the river below. From the vantage point they would have on top of the mountain it would prove to be a spectacular show.

They were about halfway up when Lilith's radio crackled and a series of tones alerted her that it was a warning from the ranger station. She whipped the radio from her hip, hit the button on the side and said "go ahead."

There was some static and a lot more crackling but a voice came through. "We've got a chopper in the North sector reporting wolf sightings. Be advised." There was a sharp crackle and then the radio went silent. Lilith turned toward Herbert and said, "Sure you heard that. Well, we're taking the high road and they den lower down the mountain so if you want to keep on... we can." The old man nodded and sort of waved his hand forward. So it was settled and they continued up the path.

Dresdus stood up and sniffed the air. "I don't smell any prey on your territory. And I don't remember your pack ever coming this close to the border to drink."

Xandri snorted a laugh. "You can't smell my whole territory from here you meat head. And if you payed attention to the scent signs you'd smell every wolf in my pack. There's a pool perfect for drinking and bathing right behind me. The river runs out in the other direction through a small gorge between the cliffs." With this she smirked. If I wanted, I could merely use my brains and defeat their entire pack by myself. But I don't want. She thought to herself.

"I am not here to pick a fight. I only care about the protection of my pack. Especialy from you. I know you still blame me for the death of your mate."

Xandri refrained from, only barely, wincing at his words. It was still fresh in her mind, a still raw wound and he'd just torn it open again. "Of course I do. It was you who caused it. You pushed him off that cliff!" She was roiling in anger now but tried hard not show it. She managed to erase it from herself so that it showed only in her eyes.

"It was a fight, and he slipped on the rocks" Dresdus said defensivly. "It the law of nature, even you should know that."

"The law of nature. The law of fear. You feared you were going to lose so you pushed him from the cliff. I saw what happened." She raised her head even higher. "Now. I'm going back to my pack. If any them come here, don't harass them or there will be hell to pay. This is my territory and I will do what it takes to keep my pack safe." With that, she began backing up until she was at the edge of the pool. She took a few quick drinks, her eyes watching Dresdus the whole time. When she was done, she licked her chops and trotted up the path to her den; she was glad for its height now, it made it an easier place to defend.

((Would you care if I created another character? There are no others from my pack ^^))

(sure, go right ahead)

Dresdus eyed her until she was out of sight. "Your the one who should never cross my pack" Dresdus utterd under his breath. He headed back to his den to be with Frost.

Frost let out a growl as she watched her move away from Dresdus. She had never liked that wolf and didn't like her to close to her mate. She knew that if the wolf got a chance she would kill Dresdus if she could. Frost bared her fangs as she thought about the wolf. Frost calmed down as she saw Dresdus coming back to their den. She ran up and licked him and nuzzling him.

"It's nothing to worry about my love" Dresdus said reashuringly. "She is still upset over the death of her mate, and blames me." He kissed Frost on the nuzzle. " The moon pack wont dare cross into our territory."

Frost looked at him then looked back to where she had been. "I wouldn't be so sure love. A scorn female is worse than any male. If it crosses her mind she will kill you." She turned back to him happy he was there she felt bad for the other wolf for her loss but she was happy it was hers that time.

Dresdus rubbed up against Frost. "Don't you ever worry my love, I will never leave you.Never. That is a promise."

Frost nuzzled him as she licked his ears acting like a pup again. "Good because I would hate to turn into a evil old tyrant but without you I would. You better not or I promise you the after life want be so pleasant. Besides your pack needs you."

Pack: Moon

Dresdus went with Frost back into the den. They looked over the pups as they slept in a pile. "I cannot wait until the young ones are old enough t join us on the hunt."

Frost laughed as she went to the pups and laid down next to them as she nuzzled them gently. "I can't either my love. I think most of them take after you."

When Xandri came back into her packs clearing she found her son Roxas laying at the entrance of the den. His head was up and watching her as she appeared. "Hello mother." He said quietly. He quieted at the look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"The Blood pack was near the border today and they were giving me a bit of grief... Nothing to serious." When she said grief, her eyes couldn't help but flick up to the sun rock. She sighed and began to jump from boulder to boulder until she sat there a few feet above her son. "Be sure when you patrol today to mark heavily there by the waterfall pool. It seems that Dresdus is getting overconfident again."

Dresdus gave out a little chuclkle. "Maybe the ones with black fur, but the majority of the cubs defenitly take after their mother." Dresdus layed down with the cubs and Frost.

Frost closed her eyes and laughed as she enjoyed her time with Dresdus and their pups. "Well we can only hope so. Lord knows one of you is enough." She open her eyes and looked at him as she felt one of the pups curl up next to her.

Dresdus looked at Frost. "The grey one who is curled next his mother, the one who was born first, I think we should call him Fang."

Frost looked down at her pup and smiled as she nuzzled it gently. "I think that would be a great name for him or devil he is one to his siblings." She looked at the white pup that was making her way to her father. "That one is going to be dady's little girl. I think she should be called Snow."

Dresdus nuzzeld the little white cub on top of the head. "Snow it is then. And her brother will be Fang."

It had taken Lilith and the old man longer to reach the viewing area than she had expected
but they had finally gotten there. Herbert seemed to brighten as soon as he saw a few eagles diving into the river and scooping up fish. Lilith leaned against a wall of rock and watched Herbert watching the birds. He chuckled and pointed to a couple of golden eagles fighting in the air. One of them had coveted the other's fish and tore at him with it's talons.

Mid-struggle the fish was dropped back into the river and, presumably lived to swim another day.

As her eyes followed the path of the river, she kidded herself that if she looked hard enough she might see that fish again but of course she couldn't. She let her thoughts wander until Herbert made a grumbling sort of mm-hmm noise and adjusted his binoculars, they were pointed to the valley below. "Found the wolves Lilly ...or some tracks anyhow. Lookie there by that pond." He said, handing her his binoculars. She peered through and eventually found the spot he had indicated.

There was a whole mess of tracks in front of a small cavern.

Dresdus layed with Frost and the cubs, as happy as he could be. Suddenly, he sensed something. Something that filled him with rage. Humans.
