Caesar smiled, his head lowering closer to the pup. “Well, you know I’ll always talk to you. When I can.” His eyes grew dull and his smile faded slightly. The rules were pointless and unfair. Everyone should be given the chance to support and protect the youngsters of the pack. But if he was caught? Caesar didn’t even wish to consider the consequences. What was the alpha trying to prove? That they didn’t need the dogs to run this pack? Maybe it was simply a show of strength. Whatever it was, it was doing nobody any favours. The pup didn’t even have a mother. While Caesar was sure there was someone looking out for her, the wolves all had their own roles in the pack. No one could be there for her 24/7 as her mother would have. It just want fair that he would be punished simply for looking after her.

Brought from his thoughts by the small pup’s question, he frowned slightly, knowing there wasn’t much he could do. Caesar hadn’t had a steady meal in days, barely surviving on scraps of meat left by the wolves. He wasn’t proud to say that every bite had been eaten there and then. “I’m sorry Tala. I can’t help you. Stealing from the wolves could get me kill- ..er, in trouble.” He corrected himself, hoping the pup would understand. It pained him to see her go hungry. Caesar hadn’t been allowed to hunt since his recent ‘incident’, but was hoping a chance to rise through the ranks would come again soon. But that could be wishful thinking. The sound of a wolf approaching caused Caesar to jump in surprise, backing away from Tala in hope he wouldn’t be accused of harming her. But his worry eased as he recognised Sachet, a wolf he knew to often show kindness to him and other rats. He dipped his head respectfully, naturally avoiding eye contact. “You too, Sachet. Might wanna get that pup a bite to eat.” He chuckled to himself before turning back towards his fellow ranking dogs.

( Gender: Female ) ( Age: 4 Years ) ( Role: Beta ) ( Tagged: Shu )

The sound of approaching steps caused her head to lift, and she was pleased to see Shu, her assumption correct as he offered his assistance on the hunt. As he spoke, she couldn’t help but notice his submissive body language, his eyes pointed at the ground and his head lowered in undeniable respect. Maxi sighed to herself. Perhaps the alpha expected his pack to act in such a way, but Maxi would never ask it of the hunters. “Head up, Shu. You’re a hunter, not a rat. Act like it.” She smiled fondly at the wolf dog, pleased to have his company during the hunt. “I’d be glad to have you with us. Thank you for offering. I’m thinking we go after something large today. We might as well take advantage of the buffalo herds before they migrate south for winter. What do you think?”

Sure, Maxi could be a strict Beta, but she was always down to earth with the pack when there was a job to be done. Throwing her weight around would cause fear, and resentment. She never wanted that. Even if the alpha did. The pack, the hunters especially should never have to feel fearful of their leaders. Even if Shu was part dog, Maxi made the decision to look past that.

The young border collie lass had barely noticed the fellow rat, Sekhmet, approach her. The rat had been so consumed by her own thoughts that when the husky addressed her with a soft nudge, the collie flinched, body instinctively lowering into a frightened crouch before discovering that it was only the friendly rat Sekhmet. Morrigan smiled softly to Sekhmet, gracefully returning to her former stance, ears pricked forwards as she listened to the lady speak. "Morning, Sekhmet," she said softly, eyes travelling to the figure of the approaching omega, Brisbane. As the larger wolf spoke, Morrigan nodded, "I'm alright, I was just speaking with Sekhmet about going on a walk to the meadows, if you want to join us?' Morrigan asked, hoping she would agree. Turning her head towards the husky, she added, "If it's alright with you, of course."

Merikh let the morning breeze ruffle his ebony coat, piercing amber eyes set ahead of him as he sat atop a large boulder, scanning the forest before him. The alpha had been out of the pack's camp quarters since dawn, finding himself unable to sleep that night. The massive wolf had set out into the forest, going on a routine border patrol, ensuring that the territory held no loners or rogues within it. Merikh now stood on a large mound of rocks, muscles rippling beneath his gleaming pelt as he leapt down, landing gracefully on the decaying foliage below, claws raking in dirt momentarily. Soon, the alpha had set upon the familiar path back to his pack's camp. He entered the clearing silently, bearing a menacing expression. His posture was one that immediately told any who saw him that he was a brute who demanded respect and was full of raw strength, shown through his massive size and fit build. His eyes, coloured like orange flames of a raging wildfire, settled upon the figure of his beta, Maxi. Surrounding her were a few others, and the alpha had assumed they were organizing something. "Maxi," the alpha said, his rumbling voice low and husky, "care to inform me of what you are doing?"

the movement of her tail slowed drastically when the doberman's eyes became somber. she only nodded a little, trying not to become upset at the fact that she couldn't stay around him. tala just wanted to be his friend though it seemed the alpha didn't care for her reasoning. she wasn't very close to the wolves, and caesar was one of few in the pack she ever truly wanted to be around. her small frame sunk to the dirt and she laid down. tala groomed her paws, glancing up to the doberman once he spoke up again. only this time, what came from him wasn't good news.

she felt her chest tighten a little and her brows furrowed. didn't the wolves at least share food with the rats? she guessed not from what he told her. it was frustrating that for tala to be in the middle of the feud, especially when the wolves were so protective over her. "well, that's okay. i don't want you to get in trouble!" the puppy woofed, her kind eyes meeting his. the seconds following, she noticed a quick shift in his weight. as he backed away she swiveled around to see what was coming their way. she stumbled backwards at first, but then stopped herself when she realized it was sashet. thank goodness it wasn't someone else! the puppy didn't try to fight when she was lifted by her scruff. in fact, she was relieved to see that sashet was awake. tala always felt uneasy around the other wolves when she didn't have someone she trusted with her. at least now she knew that some aggressive wolf wouldn't snatch her up for talking with the doberman, since sashet wouldn't let that happen. once she was placed underneath the female, tala lifted her head up high to reach the wolf's face. she licked the female's face affectionately, then sat to hear what she had to say. her head dropped low along with her tail. it felt like she was getting scolded but sashet's tone remained light. "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to do anything bad." tala apologized, offering the slight sway of her tail. she knew sashet understood her reasoning and if the silver wolf became alpha, she'd certainly have the pack run differently.

once she noticed caesar turning away, she gave a hesitant glance up to the female before padding over to him. there was no way she could lose her one chance to spend time with the rats! every time the doberman left her sight, it felt like she'd never have another chance to see him. she didn't want to lose someone else she trusted. tala sat close beside doberman, her features falling into sorrow. the pup leaned into his short fur. it wasn't long before the young wolf began to whimper and turn her gaze to the female wolf. "please miss sashet..? can i please stay until someone comes with food?" she inquired, pulling her tail close in a slight attempt to hush her own whimpers. her shoulders sunk low along with her weight. tala looked to sashet longingly, hoping that they could somehow find a way for her to stay with the doberman for a while. in the following moments, the puppy saw the alpha entering pack territory from the corner of her eye. she scurried to hide under the doberman so she wasn't in sight. of course she didn't want to put herself or the rat in harm's way by staying around him. still, she showed quite a fondness for the dog.

xxxxCalypso nodded her head with a smile as the male answered her question. It was getting quite cold out, but thankfully for her, she had a thick coat. Realizing that Caesar's coat was not as thick as hers, she pondered something for a moment. However, her thoughts were interrupted as Cairo made his way over to them. She wagged her tail in greeting, gazing at the German Shepherd. "Morning, Cairo!" She greeted, her butt wiggling slightly in excitement. However, her body stopped its excited wiggles when Caesar mentioned his frustration toward the pack. Her ears tilted back slightly, understanding how he felt, but she did not think she could do anything to improve their situation. She decided to stay quiet on this topic, not wanting a wolf to overhear her and snap at her again this morning. Besides, the Siberian Husky did not have much of an inside voice. Whispering was not something that she could do easily; it was best to keep her mouth shut.
xxxxAt the sight of the pup, the rat began to grow excited once more. Her tail swished against the ground, flattening grass with every swish of it. The pup mentioned food which reminded her how hungry she was. Having to live on scraps, she always felt like she was in the constant stage of hunger. She watched as the healer, Sashet, approached the group and speak to the pup. "Maybe we should try looking for food too.." She said to Cairo and Caesar, hearing her stomach start to growl from hunger. There had to be scraps somewhere.

xxxxShei watched as the tension began to die at the rats joined together to speak and Muraco return to his position of resting beside the scout's den. Seeing someone approach her, she perked her ears and turned her attention to Maxi who was greeting her. Dipping her head politely, it was followed by a nod. "Of course I will." She responded, giving a faint smile to the beta. The beta was kind to her despite being part dog. She was sure a lot of the wolves here had mixed feelings about her, but at least Maxi did not resent her for what she was. Her gaze drifted to Shu, a fellow wolfdog, who approached them and asked to join. She nodded her head to the scout in greeting, feeling a little comforted to have another wolfdog in her presence. Her eyes scanned the pack, her gaze resting on Nicholas as the beta mentioned the herd of buffaloes that were migrating. She licked her lips at the thought of taking down such a large kill for the pack.
xxxxAn all too familiar voice reached her ears. Her gaze snapped to attention to the alpha male who was speaking to Maxi. She lowered herself slightly to the ground, her tail slightly tucked between her legs as the alpha loomed before them. "Let me, um.. Let me fetch Nicholas." She uttered softly before scampering away over to Nicholas to see if he would like to join the hunt. As she approached the other wolfdog, she started to straighten up a bit now that she was no longer under the alpha's gaze. "Nicolas, Maxi is organizing a hunt. She mentioned buffalo, and I'm sure you would care to join us?" She inquired, tilting her head slightly to the side. If they were hunting something like a buffalo, they would need as many canines as they could. They were large beasts that could easily crush a wolf.

xxxxThe scout left the camp and made his way to the nearby river. Upon arriving, he lowered his head and lapped up the refreshing water. The cool water glided down his throat and quenched his thirst. After his drink, he took a few steps into the cool water and sat down. The water lapped at his white fur, cooling him down. It was not that hot out, but the water felt refreshing.

xxxxA heavy sigh escaped the male, his ear twitching as he listened to the conversation around him. Muraco's morning would have been pleasant if the rat had not got in his face. Now it was the waiting game, and he was growing bored as they all awaited orders from the alphas. He could go to the river for water or wait for one of those stupid rats to torment him again; it was easy to knock them down given that they were smaller. However, some dogs were a bit tougher to push around. He did not pick on them too much since it would be a waste of extra energy. Where was the alpha anyway? He wondered, his eyes scanning the pack grounds.

Torak sighed heavily, before opening his eyes slightly. The pack could easily be put in a bad mood these days, but he wished for their own safety that some of the rats stopped behaving so recklessly. That's, when he noticed Tala. The young pup had left the den, and was dangerously near the rats of the pack. He caught himself, and scolded himself silently. He didn't think the rats could be dangerous. Or we're even. But even so, Tala or the rats or both could get in serious trouble. He watched as Sashet another healer, dashed out of the den, and approached the small group. He sighed, shaking his head slightly. He had wanted to rush out as well, but didn't. He knew the pup only wanted to explore, and didn't understand why the wolves kept her away from the rats. But if another wolf saw them, they we're all sure to get in trouble. He sighed, before rising to his paws slowly. He approached the small group slowly, and carefully, but stopped half way. He wanted to help, but didn't know how exactly. So, he stood there for a few moments wondering how to do exactly that.

The male watched carefully as Caesar approached the young pup. He wanted to warn him not to, but the other male was already frustrated. He stood there motionless, as the doberman neared the pup. This, could very well get them all in trouble, but Cairo didn't leave the sides of the other rats. At least, not yet anyway. His ears twitched as he listened to the words spoken between the two, and his mind begun to spin once more. As soon as a wolf, spotted them they we're in big trouble. He was tired of the disrespect that they received for no reason whatsoever. Most would think the omegas had it bad, even at one point he did, but now everyone knew the lowest of the low we're rats. His lip curled slightly, before he relaxed it. This, was not the time to become aggressive. At the sound of Calypso's voice he gave her a slight nod. He had not spoken a single word all day, so far. His eyes soon caught movement, and he turned to see Sashet approaching them. His heart skipped a beat, in surprise. They, we're in trouble now. He stood there watching the wolf approach, and then greet Caesar. He knew this wolf wasn't as bad as the others. Or at least, she appeared that way. Cairo didn't trust any wolf. Even if the wolf seemed trustworthy, he wouldn't trust them because they we're all under the control of the alpha. Any of them could turn on him with one command. He stood there, his eyes narrowed as he watched the wolf's every movement. Of course, he took a few quick glances at the others, but his primary focus was the wolf.

Caesar’s heart filled with joy as the pup leaned into him, and he fought the urge to shower her with affection. But he managed to stop himself. Even though he knew Sachet as a wolf that respected the rats, it was still too much of a risk. Besides, his actions could not only get himself into trouble, but also the fellow dogs. “I..I don’t mind watching her for a little while.” He whispered lowly, hoping the female wouldn’t 309174 his offer. Still, she was a high ranking wolf, so he chose to be careful with his wording. It just wasn’t fair. Why couldn’t he spend time with her? He had care and protection to provide, yet he was not allowed to give it. The sudden movement of Tala startled Caesar, and he glance behind him only to see the alpha enter camp. His jaw tightened, and his muscles tensed as he glared at the huge male. This segregation was his fault. Caesar believed his toxic views caused the entire pack to turn their backs on the dogs. He turned to Calypso, catching on to her suggestion before chuckling to himself. “We can try. But I guarantee we won’t find nothing much.” The wolves probably had something stashed away somewhere. But he couldn’t risk stealing. Could he?

Her stomach dropped as the low rumble of a familiar voice called her name, and she turned around, fighting off the urge to show her anxiety as she came face to face with the alpha. Maxi wasted no time in dipping her head respectfully, before standing tall before her leader. “Organising a hunting trip, sir. I was going to consult with you before heading out, but decided to round up a few members in preparation.” She hoped she had made the right decision, and that he would be satisfied with her explanation. Of course, maxi put every bit of loyalty into serving her alpha. But she wouldn’t deny, she was pretty afraid of him. She flinched a little as Shei spoke, aware of the leader’s stern opinion on dogs. Though the hunter was part wolf, Nicolas was notoriously known for his views towards the dogs. Maxi hoped he wouldn’t respond with aggression.

Brisbane nodded at the border collie’s answer relieved that the younger canine was doing ok even with
the whole fiasco that this pack couldn’t seem to avoid. “I’d love to join you”, the white wolf said
Her tail flicking happily casting a glance at the husky for confirmation that she was welcome. Her

Nioclas yawned as he began to awaken from his sleep, less than eager to wake up and begin with daily activities. Regardless, he knew that the alpha would be furious if Nioclas was seen slacking off and lazing about, so the wolfdog lifted himself up from his den and trotted out. He licked his lips, his expression tinged with boredom as he looked about. The male smiled as Shei approached him, nodding to the fellow wolfdog with a quick hello. His ears pricked as she spoke, "I'll certainly come with you all," he replied. He had begun to follow her to the hunting group when the fearsome alpha had jumped up to the meeting spot, calling the pack to a meeting with a terrifying howl. He pinned his ears at the noise before glancing over to Shei, beginning to walk over to Merikh to listen to him begin to summon the rest of the pack.

Merikh's burnt orange eyes dug into Maxi as she spoke, and while at first the male seemed to wear a cold expression, it changed into an approving one as she spoke. He nodded his head, "Good thinking, I'm assuming it's in pursuit of the buffalo herd that was scented a little while back?" He looked away, thinking for a moment before turning back to Maxi, "They won't stay for long, and we'll need more than just a couple members to bring them down. I'm going to call the pack to a meeting, hopefully I can trust you to ensure everyone is paying attention?" He didn't wait for her answer before walking pass her, speaking over his shoulder as he made his way to a decently-sized rock to call the pack to. "And if the rat's give you any trouble, use force." His tone was dark, almost snarl-like.

Muscles rippling beneath his sleek ebony coat, the male jumped up onto the platform and titled his head back, releasing a thundering howl that was sure to be heard by any in the camp or beyond it. His gaze scanned the camp as he watched members begin to near him, ears pricked as they awaited his commands.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

the sun rose to find the female off on her own instead of sleeping in like the others. gwen hasn't been able to sleep much, if at all, these past few weeks. the den is too empty and quiet now that her pups are gone. it's hard to get use to the change after having the four wiggling bodies cuddled to her side with their whines of hunger or boredom. the female sits up river from the pack's camp, far enough away to be alone yet close enough that she doesn't get into trouble for being off on her own. she watches the water slip past for hours, the occasional fish catching her eye as it moves downstream. when the sun rose enough to lighten the forest, gwen finally looks up and wonders if anyone has noticed her absence yet. probably not. sachet was caring for the orphaned pup, tala, so there's no need for her. besides, the pup is too old for milk anyway. the thought of milk makes her abdomen ache, her body was still producing it and it wasn't always comfortable, especially when there's no pups to drain it. for probably the hundredth time, she wonders if she should just get pregnant again and raise a new litter, but shakes away the thought. there's no way she can just walk up to one of the males and ask such a thing. wolves mate for genuine love, not because one is lonely and wants to fill a pup-shaped hole in her heart.

gwen sighs and takes a drink before heading back to camp, not wanting to stay away too long and cause a scene with her absence. on the way, her stomach rumbles and she realizes she hasn't eaten in a while, her appetite having been askew from her heartache. perhaps she can find something on her walk back and not have to wait for the hunters to finally bring home something decent. the female sniffs around as she walks, her former hunter skills surfacing once more as she tracks down what smells like a hare. it takes her a minute to find it, but ends up stumbling across several instead. in a flurry of action, she kills one hare and injures another which she tracks and kills as well when it runs into the brush to hide. gwen eats one of the hares and takes the other back to camp, perhaps it can be a peace offering to lessen the trouble she may be in for being off on her own. the moment she entered the camp with a hare in her jaws, a howl pierces the air. her ears pin back thinking it's for her, but it's just a meeting call. gwen walks away from the alpha and his meeting spot to put the hare away, but overhears tala's plead for food and redirects herself to bring the meat to the pup instead of the alpha's den. he can catch his own food after all.

the mother eyes caesar a little as she approaches, still unsure how to feel about the dogs, but ends up ignoring him in favor of the pup. she lightly drops the young hare onto the ground and licks her lips before speaking. "here, i caught an extra," she tells the pup, her voice soft and gentle unlike her usual feisty attitude. gwen swallows what else she was going to say and instead gives sachet a nod before turning around and heading back to sit for the meeting that merikh had just called for. it always pains her to interact with the pup since it's not her own and it prefers the healer then herself. maybe one day that will change and tala will want to snuggle up with her at night in the mother's den, maybe then the female will finally get some sleep. gwen shakes out her coat as she sits before the rock the alpha decided to use as his throne, ridding herself of the yearning thoughts. instead, she wonders what all they will be doing today. mothers don't do much so she'll probably be sticking around camp as always.

xxxxCalypso nodded to Caesar's words before she was distracted by the alpha's call. Turning her attention to the male, she saw him standing tall on his platform. Briefly glancing to the other rats, she started to make her way to the meeting, but she made sure to stay in the back where she "rightfully belonged." She dreamed of jumping on that platform and releasing a howl of her own, but there was no chance of that. It seemed like such a fun and exciting idea though. If she tried, she figured she would get in huge trouble for being disrespectful. She never intended to be disrespectful to any of the wolves. Still, she seemed to get under their fur regardless if she was simply playing.

xxxxWhen Nicolas agreed to join them, Shei gave a smile and a small wag of her tail. Before she could make any further comments, the sound of the alpha's howl rang in her ears. She turned her attention to the male standing on the platform, calling a meeting to the pack. Her gaze met Nicolas', and she followed him over to where the pack was forming to listen to what the alpha had to say. She was never certain where she stood on everyones' radar. Was she one of them or worst than one of the rats? While her mother never told anyone who her father was, there was always speculation and rumors. What her parents did would always make her struggle through life.

After all, he did not want to miss a single word. Upon arriving back to camp, he made his way over to the platform Merikh was standing on. Just stopping in front of the platform, he stood and waited for the alpha to give his orders. Despite what had occurred this morning, he felt relaxed after his dip in the river. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed his brother come up beside him to bump his side and sit beside him. His ears tilted back slightly, watching the male through an unsure gaze.

xxxxThe scout heaved a heavy sigh as the alpha howled for a meeting. Muraco rolled to his paws and shook the dirt from his white pelt. As he approached the forming group of dogs and wolves, he spotted his brother. He noted the way his fur stuck to him, and he automatically assumed that he had taken a dip in the river as he always did each morning; it kept his fur nice and white. He pushed forward to approach his brother, and before he sat down beside him, he bumped his brother's side which was damp from the water. He ignored his brother's scrutinizing gaze as he focused his attention on the alpha. The male licked his lips, biting back a yawn from escaping him.
