Howling at the Moon (HM)

Rose chuckled softly, smiling at Burk. “Its fine Burk, I know what you meant.” Rose said softly as she stood up slowly. Nudging Burk gently to let him know it wasn't anything to be embarrased about. “Are you okay?” Rose asked softly, carefully licking at Burk's cuts. Thankfully none of his wounds were deep either. Sighing happily, glad to know everything would be just fine. Smiling shyly Rose returned to cleaning Burk's wounds carefully, not sure if there were any tender spots.

((Eh still fail post, but better.))

Evorine jumped at the sound of a wolf speaking to her. "Here we go,Please don't murder me..." She thought pleadingly.She looked the Alpha in the eye,it was male.At the sound of his question she twitched,"I mean you and your pack no harm,I only seek a pack to join,possibley." She looked him up and down,he was larger than her.He could take her very easily.The wind suddenly picked up angrily,it blew snow around them.This forest had a lonely essence to it,at least lonely to her."If you wish me to leave I will,but why would you pass up a oppurtunity for a great hunter to join your pack? The larger the pack,the easier it is to live." She concluded strongly,but not disrespectivley.She made sure she spoke loudly and strongly,not letting her voice break at any point in her conversation with these wolves.She looked the other one,the Beta,in the eyes.He was a very cocky wolf,his stance and smirking face made that clear.As she waited for her reply,she stared ino the solitary forest,with a look of some sort of angst on her wolf face.

Burk wagged his tail happily as she nudged him and said it was alright. He was careful licking her wounds to make sure they wouldn't grow worse. Thankfully they weren't too deep and the blood loss would stop shortly because of his efforts. He had his own cuts and brusies that he let Rose lick to help them along with healing. Burk didn't really know why licking helped at all but as long as it helped he wouldn't question it all that much. After they were done he puffed out his chest with pride and gave her a big grin.

"We sure handled that bear didn't we? Gave it a thing or two to think about before Shu and Deter showed up huh?" Burk smiled before he cocked his head and frowned. Burk always had a way of bringing up random things that were loosely connected at best to the topic at hand. "I feel kinda bad for Shu though, he's always been there for us and looked out for us. Made sure we were safe and he's more of a brother to us all, even to the females and that's mainly why...he's alone at the top. Sometimes when no one else is looking, I can tell, I can see how lonely he really is. He lets it show for only a few seconds, when he thinks no one is watching him and he looks so lonely. You watch him carefully and you'll see it or in how he acts. He wanders off alone sometimes to some secret place of his. I don't know why but I stumbled upon it once in my explorations. He didn't see me but I watched him and he seemed sad or...like he was waiting." Burk nodded with a sad smile before a bluejay flapped its wings by him and his eyes latched onto it. "Whoooooa, cool!" Burk exclaimed and just like that he was lost and off topic once more.

----------------------------------------------

Shuin listened to her words with controlled interest. Another hunter would be a good addition to the pack, but also another mouth to feed. It was a give and take situation here that seemed to be having more good then bad. If another pack chose to muscle their way in they'd be in serious trouble. Having another pack member made them all the more stronger. This new wolf had a point and he nodded to his own thoughts. He liked the looks and additude of this wolf and decided that another hunter to join would be a good edition to his small pack. "Won't be small for longer if this keeps happening." Shuin grinned inside his head but showed no emotion on the outside. He looked to be pondering it over for a moment when he nodded once more. "What is your name? I cannot add someone into the pack without knowing their name." Shuin smiled lightly and Deter rolled his eyes as he came out fully from his hiding spot.

"You're letting another one in? This pack won't be small for very longer you know." Deter grinned and nodded to the newest entry before he started to walk away.

"My thoughts exactly." Shuin replied after him as he disapeared from sight.

Rose chuckled softly at Burk, smiling happily. "Yeah I guess so." Trying to get a word in every once in a while. "Yeah, I've seen it already... I feel so bad for him, poor guy. To have to take care of the whole pack and not even have a mate.... Must be tough on the fella." Rose said kindly, feeling bad for her new Alpha.
Pushing aside the saddening topic Rose smiled softly. "What do you wanna do now?!" Rose asked playfully, trying to keep her new friend. She wanted to make sure he'd stay her friend. With the help of Burk she'd be able to befriend the whole pack.

[Shellow]

She let out a triumphant bark,but only in her mind.She tried hard nopt to show much emotion on the outside.
"The name is Evorine,and yours? I also can not join a pack without knowing the name of my all-mighty Alpha."She retorted,with a small smirk on her long face."Wow,I never would of believed this if someone had told me earlier!"She thought to herself with much disbelief.She trotted up to him,"So,where do I start Alpha?"She questioned boldly.She smirked at him,kindly.

"We could explore some more! Just...not in some cave...that has a bear in it." Burk looked a little embarrassed but he was soon to shrug that off and start walking. "Yeah! exploring sounds good, I can show you all the cool spots and stuff!" Burk exclaimed happily as he jumped up and down and then took off running and bounding through the forest laughing all the way. They'd have so much fun and she'd learn the land at the same time! Burk loved it when things worked out that good in the end.

"I am Shuin and my beta that just walked off is Deter." Shuin replied with a small nod and watched as she walked closer. "Well, you can start by getting to know our territory better. Know all the boundaries and everything in between. Find the rest of the pack and and make friends because they'll be the ones watching your back." Shuin replied with his famous calm voice that still held authority.

"I'll volunteer to show her around the boundaries." Deter's voice came out of no where as he came out of a bush as if he had never left. This didn't surprise Shuin at all for Deter was extra careful when it came to new wolves around Shuin. "Come on, it'll be fun." Deter smiled a true smile for once in his life. He could use the company for a patrol and getting to know this wolf would take his mind off that little ball of fur they had let in earlier.

Rose rolled her eyes at Burk, watching him take off running. With a sigh she followed, catching up quickly despite her small size. Rose wondered what the pack thought about her, she knew they wouldn't like her. Deter seemed to despise((sp?)) her the most of any of the others. Her heart sank, knowing in this pack she'd never have a mate. She'd never have a family, how wrong of her to burst into their happy lives and ruin them while making herself look like a fool.
Pulling herself from her feelings Rose tried to pay more attention to where they were going. Though nearly impossible because the same thought kept pushing itself into her thoughts, that she'd be alone forever in this pack and not even being able to call them family.

(( ): I think I'm getting sick...Depressing post too, lol.))

[Shellow]

Evorine looked at Deter,and then she flashed him a true,sincere,smile."Okay then Beta,lets explore the boundries.Show me all the nooks and crannys."She trotted up to Deter,looked him up and down,and plopped down,on her behind right in front of him.She sighed,the snow seemed to suck at her paws,as if trying to tie her down to one spot.The angry wind had died down,now blowing softer.It ruffled her fur and chilled her to the bone,it seemed to nip at her flesh,with cold fangs.

"We'll scatter the birds, and then slide on the ice, and then visit the dens, and then maybe...ooooh...maybe I'll show you my hideaway!" It was clear that Burk had taken a liking to Rose and was extreamly excited to have a new friend. New wolves rarely ever came by and when they did they were either poaching their food or in a rival pack that meant trouble. Now there was a new addition to his pack and one that even saved his life! Coming by a friend like that was a once in a lifetime opportunity and Burk wasn't going to waste any of it. "The lake is coming up! Lets sliiiiiiide!" Burk yelled happily out into the air as the trees of the seemingly never ending forest gave way to a large frozen solid lake. Paws hit ice and slid across with expert coordination that could only come from years of practising. "Come on! The ice won't bite!" Burk laughed as he spun around to see if Rose would join him.

---------------------------

Shuin looked at Deter curiously for his out of character moment but decided against a coment for it was nice to see him truely smile for once. "So be it. Don't chase her away now Deter." Shuin chuckled as he stood up on all four legs and with a swish of his tail he turned to walk away.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Deter replied to his alpha before he locked eyes with the bold new addition.

"Have her back at the dens by at least sun down!" Shuin's chuckle could be heard fading away as the alpha disapeared into the distance.

"Awwww you never let me have any fun. We'll see!" Deter called back to his old friend with a grin. He then turned his attention back to Evorine. "Alright Evorine. Eeeevvvvvoriiiine. I like that name, has a bit of a ring to it. Follow me and we'll be starting our patrol." Deter grinned and turned on a dime as he started to make his way along their territory border lines. Rarely did anything actually happen on patrols and though they were fun they were also boring as all heck when doing it alone. Deter was truely in his element in being sneaky on patrol but sometimes a wolf just has to have company. Since nothing ever really happened, talking to this new wolf seemed like a better idea then going it out alone. Besides, he couldn't help but notice how attractive she looked. Much better then that small hairball they let in earlier. Though his curiosity had been perked when he saw the look in Shuin's eyes when he introduced Rose. There was something funny there that bugged Deter, but he wasn't one to think too much over it. Right now it was him and Evorine..."Eeeevorine. Evoooorine. Evevevorine. That name is so awesome." Deter chuckled inside his head. That was a name he could get used to.

((Sorry,I had to leave earlier but I hope this post makes up for it.))

Rose came to a sliding stop at the edge of the lake. She knew it'd be frozen pretty deep, deep enough for them to be safe and walk across it. Though ignoring she knew that fact she called out timidly. "Are you sure its safe?" She asked with a small whimper, slowly putting a paw on the cold, slippery surface. She didn't know what to think of the ice. Carefully setting all four paws on the ice Rose took a small step, slipping and falling flat on her stomach. "Ugh this is fun?"
