» Apollo's ear flicked in amusement in response to Sloan's comment. A low chuckle followed, his light eyes flicking towards Talisa before falling back to the huntress. A reply was on the tip of his tongue, but the alpha beat him to it.
Her shaky posture signaled her nerves to any careful observer. He already knew the reactions some would respond with. Some wouldn't care, or even notice. However, One side would feel for the alpha, knowing what effect a particular event had on her. The opposite side, however, would see this shakiness as a sign of weakness. Would they take their chances now ? Or save their energy for later ? Apollo sighed into himself, head swimming with thoughts.
The male was brought back into reality when Talisa began the announcements, naming Sloan the new lead hunter. Apollo smiled, dipping his head slightly towards Sloan whilst breathing out a Congratulations. Once his head lifted, he added in a whisper, perhaps you'll be as good as the previous one. The playful tone clear in his voice.
Once it was announced that the newly ranked wolf was to take on 2 hunters, Apollo wondered whom Sloan would take - whether she already made alliances with pack members or if she was steering clear of that. Yet, if she wasn't getting her paws dirty, was that a good thing ? Or would one side eventually claim her ?
With those thoughts in mind, he rose his head a bit higher once the alpha spoke of his leading a border patrol. He wondered which wolves to take and who to leave behind in trust. Perhaps speaking to someone before departing would be better. But who ?
Then, like falling into icy waters, Talisa spoke of the elephant within the camp. Echo's death.
As if a reflex, Apollo's eyes immediately fell to the crowd in a wild search for a change in expression of some sorts on anyone face. In his paranoid state, the beta expected some sort of maniac to emerge from the crowd, laughing. Soon enough, after flicking through the same faces times over he returned to sanity.
He thought it quite a good move on Talisa's behalf when she addressed the dislike some felt towards her. A bold move. He thought. One which made a statement, certainly.
With all of the things to ponder on, the wolf registered Sloan's desire to take Elijah and Conan for her hunting party. Elijah was young, the small party hunt would earn him more practice. Smart. He thought, without giving any actual comment about the party. Instead Apollo simply got up and before padding away, turned to Sloan. Looks like the flattery helped out after all.

the small meeting talisa had called brought clarity towards the next stages of their lives. the wolf sat pensively as the alpha spoke of her plans. after sloan had been declared the new lead hunter, conan was relieved. the last thing he wanted to do was take charge and engage in any more interactions than necessary. conan was a loner, that much was very clear. however he liked to simply observe, listen from afar. therefore he could gather the same amount of information without all of the unnecessary formalities. not long after, his eyes followed sloan as she grew nearer. when she had informed him that he and elijah would be accompanying her on the hunting trip, he simply nodded. he wasn't all too surprised that they had been chosen. elijah might be young, but he was an excellent hunter, as was he. conan departed from the rest of the pack to spend a little bit of time in solitude before the trip. three hunters were certainly not enough but the risks were too high to send any more.

dakota|three years|loner|tagged: x

prey was scarce in dakota's vacinity. with winter approaching, she knew that surrounding packs would be trying to stock up on prey as well. they were going to come and take any food she could have gotten. dakota, however, was not going to go down without a fight. any idiot could guess that there would be packs nearby. she was going to make sure they got the message that this was her territory. dakota then proceeded to go around from tree to tree, rubbing her scent on each one very carefully. afterwards, she started moving further south in search of more prey.

Between words with Apollo, the lead hunter could taste the doubt and worry seeping off her pack
mates, silently questioning their alpha's decision to only send out three wolves for a hunting patrol.
A part of her was relieved that no one deemed themselves worthy of starting a quarrel because of
the small hunting party, that was the last thing anyone needed right now. The last thing the pack
needed right now. Sloan simply let her gaze slide over the other wolves, nose twitching once befo
re Apollo had her attention once again. The light mood that the beta brought upon her simply from
a mere conversation was refreshing and she was reminded why she enjoyed Apollo's company so mu
ch. Sure, his shameless flirting could be quite tiresome sometimes but she knew it was harmless. T
he pale-coated female rolled her eyes when the brute made a comment about her possibly being ab
le to excel in her new rank as the previous lead hunter did but didn't move, simply lifting her tail to
flick the tip against the beta's ankles.

Sloan was a bit apprehensive herself about the low number of wolves participating in the hunt, but
she reminded herself that she had to have a little faith in Talisa. Watching as Conan acknowledged
her words to him then padded off to enjoy his own leisure, Sloan rose to her paws, stretching out he
r slender legs and back before she straightened herself out. Apollo, who was beside her, had done th
e same and she noticed the brute pause in his depart, turning to speak yet again. The words that left
his maw this time around were sly and meant to tease her, she was sure of it. But she was used to it
with him and it had become something of a custom in their daily conversations. "So it seems" the
fae barked in response, a light smile resting on her maw, thoughtful eyes watching as Apollo left to
continue with his duties. With the thought of duties racking her brain, she turned her head in the dir
ection Elijah was and her eyes lit up at the sight of Dinara, probably her closest friend within the pack.
Her nimble paws carried her towards the two, her white head dipping low in greeting. "Morning you
two" her eyes slid from Dinara to Elijah, opening her jaws to address the black brute. "I'll be taking
you and Conan with me on a hunting patrol. We'll have to leave soon, with only the three of us
out hunting for the whole pack we'll be out there for quite some time in order to bring back w
hat's needed to feed the pack" Sloan explained, the tip of one of her pointed white ears flicking.

Had it not been for the peculiar yelping sound that escaped Flint's mouth, she would have tucked
her tail between her slender legs at the sight of his bristling pelt set in defence. It was by instinct
that she shrunk back as he spoke, something that had become part of her nature when dealing wit
h higher ranking wolves, most of all brutes. Aleu mentally scolded herself for lumping Flint in with
every other male wolf she'd come across that had been less than courteous towards her. For as lon
g as she had know the fighter he had a kind heart and was quite reliable. Of course she only would
have remembered the trainee Flint since right after that she had been denounced to an omega. A
part of her held sorrow for the missing years of interactions she could have had with the hunters or
fighters had she not been born a 'defect' as she had heard a couple wolves refer to her as.

What shocked her most was that an apology was awarded to her from Flint himself. The omega lift
ed her head, a quizzical and puzzled expression adorning her feminine features. She wasn't sure w
hy exactly the brute was apologizing but she didn't want him to worry. "Surely I am the one at f
ault here. It was my mistake that I wasn't more aware of my surroundings" she dipped her head
in an apology as her soft voice spoke out to Flint. She had noticed how quickly the jittery male jum
ped to her defence, almost as if he could sense the humiliation seeping off her like a wolf in heat,
and the action somewhat touched her. Aleu decided to direct the conversation elsewhere, to a less
frivolous topic where neither of them would have to feel an embarrassment or shame. "Slept in l
ate again I see though? I assume the sleep was good?" the fae's light voice was soft and warm, a
feature that her sister often told her made her even more alike a flower in certain terms.

❖ "I have had better nights." She replied bluntly and shrugged her shoulders. She flickered an ear and gave a quick glance around the camp, Bates wasn't the best to hold conversation with but even so, Mack wasn't usually one to start a conversation. She cleared her throat and looked up, she thought she knew the brute pretty well enough. He was hardy, like steel. For lack of better words? He was an alpha's alpha. She pondered with the thought for a bit, her eyes scanning over him quickly and her intelligent brain piecing together what she knew for certain about him. Apathetic, large, and he knew how to use wolves to get his way. Was he using her? She had no idea. But, she didn't particularly care. As far as young McKenna was concerned, if she played her cards right she could make her way to the top. Certainly not alpha, but of she were to help Bates get what he needed she could be beta. Her problem? She was young. Sure, her looks are enough to get her by with the wolves her age but the older wolves didn't seem to take her seriously and she knew fighting and aggression wasn't the way to go in this pack, never had been.

McKenna shook her head to clear her fantasy thoughts and looked up as Talisa called a meeting, barely maintaining a groan. She listened closely and cut her eyes at Sloan as she promotion was announced. 'Undeniably loyal to Talisa. She knows where those stand. Smart.' She thought and cocked her head. Did Talisa doubt her loyalty? She didn't think so. She never gave the fae any reason to, always kind and much more accepting to authority than Namara. 'Three wolves on a hunt? Has Talisa gone cagmag?' She snarled in her mind and almost…almost spoke up but she knew better than to publically defy Talisa. It would only cause problems for her. She sighed and looked to Bates once more after the meeting ended. "Do you think you'll be asked to patrol today? Or this evening?" She asked. She had plans that she wanted to discuss with the male. Big plans that could make either their lives better or the pack better, if everything flowed perfectly, both them and the pack would benefit…as far as her twisted mind saw anyway.

☄ Comet // Male // 6 years // No crush // Tagged: Pack

Comet watched the alpha as she announced the new lead hunter. He looked towards the wolf, hoping she'd be a great hunter and bring the pack much food. After the meeting, he looked around, wondering what to do, deciding to perhaps just stay around the edge of the camp and observe. Or maybe pick a wolf to playfully fight with. He wondered if any of the wolves would want to, though. Perhaps not. He could go look for Kiba, but he wasn't sure if the pup wanted to play with him right now. Perhaps not, since they'd played recently. Perhaps Kiba was tired and asleep. Comet didn't want to disturb him. The pup, surely, would come and find him if he wanted to play. That's what he guessed on.

The omega licked his muzzle and shook his head, his ear straightening out. He gazed briefly at the beta, before making his way over to the edge of the camp and flopping down. He curled his tail around his back legs and rested his muzzle on his front paws, then just silently observed the pack as they went on with their business. Perhaps someone would come and play with him, or talk to him. Or perhaps no one would really notice him. He was fine with whatever, either way.

Talisa licked her pup's head as he nuzzled her leg. She smiled, noticing that he went back to the den. She was such a lucky mother to have a pup like Kiba. The fae shook her fur and scanned her pack mates. It wasn't that bad. She expected it to be much worse. The alpha was glad she had enough courage to speak about Echo's death. It was a difficult thing to talk about, but had to be mentioned. The leader knew she had some free time and decided to spend it with Kiba. She was very busy since she became the alpha and didn't have time for her pup. Talisa trotted towards the alpha's den and disappeared inside. The fae's tail wagged softly as she saw her pup resting. Talisa padded closer and laid down carefully not to disturb him. She sighed and turned her head towards the entrance of the den. The alpha didn't really expect any visitors, but there was a possibility that somebody wanted to talk.

Four Years Old

" Everybody is a

________________________

» Whilst slowly making his way across the camp, the beta's eyes flicked from face to face, registering who was up and about. With Elijah, Conan and Sloan leaving for the hunting patrol, Apollo was left with a majority of fighters remaining at camp. A thing that he wasn't too happy with. But who posed the biggest threat ? The answer to that wasn't as obvious as the male would have liked.
Sighing, Apollo decided to worry about that once he dealt with the safety of Kiba and Talisa. Was there anyone completely dedicated to the two ? Somebody strong enough to protect them when a majority turn against them ? Apollo wondered about the influence some of the individuals had. He thought of Aleu, her skill in observing wolves and the influence she had on her sister. He thought of Comet, of his caring for Kiba and passive nature.
Both omegas, both underappreciated - outcasts in their own right. Perhaps... Perhaps he could push the two in the right direction ? Perhaps it would help.
Whilst pondering that, the brute made brief eye contact with the latter wolf - thus setting his mind on the task, seeing it as a sign of his being on the right path.
As he began making his way towards the older male, Apollo's eyes searched for Aleu - hoping that she wasn't still asleep. Good morning. He stated with a smile once he was close enough to the laying form of Comet. When he stood before him, Apollo came to a halt and looked up at the sky whilst releasing a deep sigh - a light cloud of smoke forming from his warm breath. A lovely day, isn't it ? He stated quite happily, letting his gaze drop from the sky and towards the brute.
In his mind, the brute never really looked down on wolves who were slapped with the omega rank due to inherited, unchangeable characteristics. He tried his best to be polite to them, to help them out in whichever way he could. It's the ones who earned the rank that he mocked - the murderers and the traitors. Yet, despite his actions, Apollo found that some found his polite actions as insulting, something that he had been aware of ever since when addressing the lower ranking wolves. Thus, whilst diving into this conversation of high importance, the beta thought twice about the words and actions he used.

☄ Comet // Male // 6 years // No crush // Tagged: Apollo

Comet was quite content just watching on the outskirts of the camp. He knew the higher ranked wolves had probably important things to do, like going on patrol and hunting. He sometimes wished he could join in, but it wasn't his rank. And Comet was more than pleased being an omega. He didn't mind not having great responsibilities on his shoulder to carry. Instead, he was a little worry free, and could just walk around and help out when someone asked him to. Again, something he was happy to do. Comet was fine being an omega, he doubted that would ever change.

As he observed, he noticed the beta and watched him, raising his head slightly and wondering what he was up to. He quite liked Apollo, the wolf seemed nice enough. And close to Talisa, something that was important in protecting the pack members, the alpha and the pup. Comet noticed the mail approaching and raised his head further, curious. He smiled, sitting up and nodding his head in greeting.

"It is. At least, I think it is. To me it's a lovely day." Comet smiled politely at the brute, wondering if there was something Apollo wanted to talk about to him. Comet kind of hoped so, or perhaps he just wanted a chat. That was fine too. He was happy just chatting with the higher ranked wolf.

ELIJAH - male - 1 year old - hunter - camp ~ Dinara, Sloan

As Sloan approached him and Dinara, he slightly dipped his head, greeting the new lead huntress. The pale she-wolf didn't waste any time with formalities and got straight to the point. Elijah nodded, happy with her choices. "Between the three of us I'm sure we will be able to bring something back to camp." he said, knowing that the hunt ahead wont be the fastest or the easiest. He still didn't feel good about just three wolfs going out hunting for the whole pack, but he felt that Sloan picked the best team for the task. Elijah liked Conan, he was a loner, a bit like himself. But Elijah would dare say Conan might be a bit worse than him when it came to being social. Sloan, Conan and himself seemed like a really good combination. They would get right to the task at hand and they were all great hunters. Despite all of them being a bit quiet Elijah enjoyed the hunts he had with the two till now, clear instructions, good teamwork, efficient work. They might not have been the most social wolfs within the pack but during hunting their communication was excellent. "I'm ready whenever you are." he said with a tail wag, approving her pick of the group and getting a bit excited to go. Despite knowing that this hunt will probably make his paws sore tomorrow and get him back to camp completely exhausted after who knows how long, he wanted to see how well he can do with such a small group of wolfs hunting large prey. He knew this was an opportunity to see what he is capable of and what flaws he would need to work on. It will be good for gaining more experience.he thought. As a young wolf, this was still his first winter and getting practice to hunt in the snow was essential for future season and his place in the pack.

BATES - male - 5 years old - fighter - camp ~ McKenna

Bates ear twitched and he looked around camp as McKenna asked him about going on a patrol. His gaze stopped at Sloan who was standing next to Elijah and Dinara. He saw her talking to Conan before. She'll probably take Elijah along... the pup has potential. That's the hunting patrol. he thought and calculated in his head. Then his eyes slipped to Apollo. The beta... he was not happy when the brute got the position. Bates wanted it for himself when the position was available. It would make things so much easier... oh well.... His eyes narrowed as he looked at Apollo, he was talking to an omega. Bates couldn't remember the wolfs name, it wasn't important.
Bates knew that Apollo didn't trust him, he was one of the rare wolfs who Bates couldn't fully full. The large male grinned his teeth slightly in annoyance. He always had to be careful around Apollo. Though he had never done anything to cause the beta to doubt him, not to Apollos knowledge anyway, Bate knew that the brute had an eye on him. Still looking at Apollo he answered McKenna. I don't have the slightest clue...he said, and looked back at her. He sensed that she wanted his company, maybe she wanted to tell him something away from the pack ears. "I'm pretty certain Apollo wont want to leave too many fighters in camp..." he said quietly, and didn't finish the sentence, knowing that McKenna would guess what he was leading to. "So I want to hear who he wants to take along. If I'm not on the list, when the patrol leaves, I'm sure no one will notice if we slip out of camp for a while.[/b] he said with a slight smile.

After the meeting was over and the wolves started to go back to their own things, Dally let out a loud yawn. "Why do they feel the need to have meetings at this time? This should be the time for sleeping." Dally grumbled to himself as he started to stretch out his legs. Dally let out a yelp when a small muzzle gripped his tail tightly. As soon as his tail was free from the small jaw, Dally heard Lulu giggling behind him. He turned around and lowered himself to his sister's level, giving her a stern look. The look had no effect on the giggling pup as she looked up at him. "I got you Dally!" Lulu giggled before pawing his nose. Dally tried to stay serious, but despite how hard he tried to hold it he couldn't hold back the smile from creeping on his face. "Now listen here you little furball, you can't just sneak up on me and bite my tail." Dally replied nudging her with his muzzle, making her roll onto her back. "But yes, you did get me. I'm very proud of you, but you know what this means don't you?" Lulu look up at him questioningly before a look of horror overcame her face, realizing what he meant. "No!" She yelped trying to wiggle free. Dally grinned as he kept her held down. "Yes!" Dally replied playfully as he started to tickle her belly.

{Age: 2 Months | Gender: Female | Pack: Frozen Forest Pack | Rank: Puo | Tags: Dally, Kiba}

Lulu lifted her head when Dally got up and walked out. She let out a tiny yawn before poke if her head out of the den. It looked like there was a meeting. Lulu let out another yawn, she had no interest in it. She laid down and looked around tiredly. When Dally started to move around again, she grinned as a idea cane to mind. Lulu creeped forward, then jumped forwarded, bitting down on Dally's tail. When he let out a yelp Lulu let go, unable to hang on as she giggled. She continued to giggle, even though Dally was giving her his 'look'. "I got you Dally!" Lulu giggled, then pawed his nose. Lulu smiled back up at Dally as he spoke, feeling rather proud of herself. When he nudged her, she rolled into her back, looking up at him. After he spoke Lulu frowned, not knowing what he meant. Suddenly she realized what he meant. "No!" Lulu yelped as she tried to escape his grasp. Dally kept held down despite her struggle, there was no escape. Lulu laughed uncontrollably as he started to tickle her. "No! Stop!" Lulu cried out, trying not to laugh. After what seamed like hours, but was really just a few minutes, Lulu was able to get free! She raced away from Dally, no caring where she went. She ended up running into the Alpha's den. Lulu came to a crashing stop into Talisa, letting out a expected yelp.
