He dipped his head and said, "Greetings Alpha Shadow."

SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Rubin, Striker | Location: Meet Hollow


"Good evening Striker, and this is...?" Shadow thought she recognized the wolf who walked in with him, but she couldn’t put a name to a face. She looked around, and dread mixed with a faint feeling of relief. Striker had leapt up to the Alpha rock, and Max was nowhere in sight.

"Tell me I’m reading things wrong. Has Alpha Max...passed on?" No. No, that was simply impossible. Max had been easily the strongest wolf Shadow had ever know, and at the last Meet, he had been well, even planning things out still. He had approached her and she had denied him. The marks on her shoulder from their last encounter seemed to sting again, even now, more than a whole month later.

Perhaps it was time for a change in the forest, but Shadow found she couldn’t help but hope Max was only ill, or that at ten years old, he’d finally decided it was time for him to retire, but Max had never struck her as the type to settle down, he’d never settled. He’d always wanted more. More power. More influence. His style had always been to climb to the top, go above and beyond at any price.

Striker
Fire Pack - Tags: Rubin, shadow

Striker nodded. “ This is Rubin, my Beta. And sadly, yes he passed away from infection a few weeks ago.” The words grated his tounge, and he sighed sadly. “ Shall we start with the announcements?” He asked, flicking his tail towards the waiting wolves.

He scanned the wolves for a sign of Riley. He wished to see her and ttrade her some rabbit skins for her shells. He was saddened when he didn't see her. He whined and would look for her or if Leo was there to see wwhere she was after they shared news. Maybe Shadow kept her home because she was close to delivering her pups.

SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Rubin, Striker | Location: Meet Hollow


The words hit her HARD. Shadow stood, frozen in place, her eyes wide with shock. So it was true. Max had gone the way of Starris. Or Solis. She wasn’t sure what was more accounted for, actions in his younger days, or the good he had done in the end for his Pack. Starris, save his soul...

"I’m..." Shadow's voice shook more than she had hoped it would. "I’m sorry for your loss. Max made a wise choice," She decided, watching the way Striker spoke and how he held himself. "Is everybody here?"

Dune
Fire Pack | Warrior | Location: Meet | Tagging: Open

Dune flicked an ear and separated from the ranks of her group, raising an eyebrow at the Lightningwolves with casual interest. She ducked her head for a brief moment, then turned around to find a good spot to sit down somewhere. The Warrior held back a small yawn and headed for an oak tree, noticing its comfortable grass underneath it and quite eager to settle down and watch the others. Dune had never been much of a trader, or someone who spars, but she did enjoy seeing younger and older wolves alike talking to each other.. in harmony.

Cinnamon
Fire Pack | Scout Trainee | Location: Meet | Tagging: Open

Cinnamon whizzed into the clearing, very enthusiastic about everything. She let out quite an audible gasp, her gaze soaking up the views. Lightningwolves, surprisingly, looked just like normal wolves! Huh, in the tales it said they had teeth as sharp as bear claws and fur like porcupine quills.. she recalled, standing still and looking uncannily confused. Where the heck did those stories come from??

Flurry
Fire Pack | Hunter | Location: Meet | Tagging: Open

Flurry broke off from the group, her eyes alight with an unreadable emotion. She raised an eyebrow at everyone and sat down near a boulder, staring at everyone with a watchful gaze. The she-wolf let out a massive yawn and raised a paw, examining her claws for a moment and eventually turning around to lick her shoulder fur.

Sandpiper
Lighting Pack | Hunter Trainee | Location: Meet | Tagging: Open

Sandpiper literally bounced away, her toes tingling with excitable anticipation as the leaf bundle swung from her jaws. Wow, look at all of those wolves! She barked internally, her tail zooming back and forth. The sandy grey Trainee whirled around and headed for a nice spot, ready to set up her tiny trading area.

Striker
Fire Pack - Apha - Tags: Shadow

Striker nodded. He still felt sad from the late alphas passing, but he shook it off quickly. “ Yes, all of my wolves are here, and I’m ready.” He looked from the mixed wolves below to the she-wolf beside him.

[Alita~]

OOC: I'll be gone for quite a while today ;-;
I'll probably be able to post only once or twice in the next 5 hours



Alita | Warrior | Lightning Pack | Location: Meet | Tagging: Open

Alita slowly, uncomfortably, walked around to the edge of the clearing. She let out a heavy sigh, and sat down, her big brown eyes dull and sad. She lowered her head, and set down the bright blue feathers, setting a paw on them to avoid having them whisked away by any drafts.

He sat down and looked up at the leader's hoping to hear good news from the other pack.

OOC: Thanks for the heads-up!

SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Rubin, Striker | Location: Meet Hollow


Shadow dipped her head. "I’ll start, since I don’t have much to report in the first place." The white Alpha howled to call for attention, but the wolves didn’t yet seem to be mingling, which made it easier. "Announcements will now take place!" She called, raising her voice as to be heard throughout the clearing. "I shall start. In Lightning Pack, Nova and Riley have both birthed their Pups, and we are all healthy. Prey runs well. Warrior Karter and our former Healer, Aala, have been searching for their missing daughter, June, a brown-grey she-wolf. If anyone has seen her, please let one of us know. My son Leo will soon be finished his training, and by the time of the next Meet, he will be welcomed as a full Warrior. The same to young Hunter Trainee Sandpiper. That is all I have to report," the white wolf declared, surprised she was able to keep her voice from shaking, for she was still reeling at the news of Max's death. However, business was business. She was an Alpha. She had to keep a calm outer face around the other wolves.

There is time to grieve later. I should not be upset by this, he was a cruel wolf. But he was also Leo's father, and the first wolf I ever truly loved. He had such great potential, and...I don’t know what happened to him, but it was such a waste... Looking down, Shadow caught sight of the fluffy grey pelt of a wolf who had gone from energetic youngster to a beautiful young adult, Max and Moon's eldest daughter, Catania. She was still of Trainee age, however. She had not yet celebrated her graduation ceremony, and the sight of her only made Shadow all the more thankful that she was still alive and strong. She would see her son made a Warrior.

Shadow dipped her head to Striker, stepping back to inform him that it was his turn to speak, for the first time standing atop the rock as Alpha. "Go ahead. Don’t be nervous."
