| Red Moon | Beta | W/ Liberty, Eros , Blaze, Niko , Gauge|
To her surprise , Liberty had already planned on taking a few days off to tend to his pup. After all , Eros needed him more than anything right now with the slight injury to his paw. She still felt a small glimpse of disappointment that he’d been hurt while she watched over him. However, Liberty seemed to understand that it was not her intention to cause the boy any trauma. It was just a simple race.
Cream colored fluffy ears tilted forward as he told her that he needed her to take over. Nova would be able to do it with ease and also have her paws in the position she hoped to have one day. “Agreed.” She responded without hesitation. Sure, she might have to put a few wolves into their place - but it wouldn’t be hard to manage the pack. From her understanding , most of the wolves here listened to the higher ranked with no issue. “I’ll let them know.” She added. The pack would need to be notified that Liberty was taking off a few days and if they needed him to come to her.
Her gaze fell to Eros as she leaned forward to give him a gentle nuzzle over. “I’m sorry about the injury, kid. Maybe when you’re all healed we can teach you how to be light on your feet .” The Beta gave the young wolf a playful wink. She laughed at herself and him, even when he was hurt the pup made sure to still have something to laugh about.
Nova’s ears swiveled backwards as the sound of paws grew closer to them. She turned her head to see their fighter, Blaze, with a small wolf in tow. The Beta cocked her head to the side, wondering where Blaze had found this pup. The pair approached the den and provided an explanation of the pup’s arrival. A small bit of sadness fell over her as she realized yet another pup had been without their family. She leaned down towards the pup and gave him a small comforting nudge, encouraging him to speak to Liberty when asked. The sound of the young wolf’s voice rang in her ears as he introduced himself. Niko.
“I’m sorry about your family Niko . No worries , you will be safe here. I’m Nova, the beta.” She introduced herself. The pup seemed to lighten up a bit as he realized that he was now in a safe environment. It also made Nova feel good that she was able to bring him some level of comfort, even without knowing who this pup was.
Another pair of paws drew in on the small gaggle of wolves. She looked behind Blaze and Niko to see Gauge behind them. The Beta wasn’t too surprised about the she wolf being somewhere behind Blaze. For a moment, her intrusive thoughts wanted her to ask the other fae a question, but now was not the time for that. She looked down at the food that was brought for Niko and nodded to Gauge. “Thank you for bringing him food. “ she spoke clearly and directly to Gauge.
“Liberty will be off duty for the next couple of days while he tends to his son. Blaze, keep an eye on Niko for the next few days. I’ll be checking in on his adjustment progress.” Her first command as the step in rolled off her tongue. It wasn’t his job to watch the pup, however, he was the one that found him and may have already built some kind of relationship with him. Her eyes met Blaze’s as she searched for a response from him.

| Fighter | W/ River & Akiro | Muy Contento |
Milo quickly came to realize that he may have caused some confusion. He cleared his throat before glancing back over at the wolf they referred to as Akiro. “I apologize for the con-confusion . “ he blurted out. In a brief attempt to save face of the conversation .
“Yo-you’re right , I did mean some other time. “ he back peddled. Then figured he could piggyback off of what River said about going after their duties. “Maybe tomorrow. We can catch up and go out on a patrol.” he offered , keeping his gaze on Akiro. This would be a great way for Milo to get to know the territory and his pack mates a bit easier.
He glanced over to River who mentioned something about the Beta and Alpha having a difficult day. Then remembered discussing the wolf that they called ShyFawn. Milo wondered if the traitor had returned to the pack or made a decision to leave.
“I don't want to cause strife in the pack. Especially since I am fairly new here. You are in fact right. “ Milo added in. River mentioned being a mood killer for simply looking out for them. He was sure that deep down she knew that what she was doing was the right thing. “It’s alright River,” he said. He decided to lay back down, cross his front two paws, before laying his head on top of them.

| Pup | W/ Blaze, Gauge, Nova, Eros, | Scared & Hopeful|
The young wolf looked between the adults as they both spoke to him giving their insights on his situation. Another whooshing blow of wind brushed against his fur , causing him to shiver. It was entirely too cold for him out here, he needed shelter and soon. Niko sighed heavily as the heavy weight was lifted off of his shoulders. He thought that he would have to stay out there by himself. “T–Thank you” his teeth shuddered as his body shook. He was beyond cold at this point , snow was still falling on him. Each snowflake kissed the tip of his fur before melting due to the remaining warmth.
Niko’s light hazel eyes peered up at Blaze as he spoke to him about moving along to the higher up wolves. The ranking was familiar to him , as his previous pack had something similar to it. “I’m cold” the pup whimpered a few times. As Blaze turned to leave, Niko felt a slight hesitation to go with him. Even though he’d told the pup where they were going, Niko felt some sort of fear. Hopefully he did not lead himself into his own unforgiving doom.
A small skinny body followed the midnight pitch black fighter, they were going straight towards the Alpha’s quarters. Niko had never seen what an Alpha lived before - his parents were low ranks in their old pack. Treated like servants to the high ranked. The young wolf let out another sigh of relief, he’d escaped from the pack without fail.
He’d perked his ears up as Blaze gave the she wolf a command to go get him food. The idea of eating soon made the pup’s mouth water and maybe even drool a bit at the thought of a meal. Niko would have shown Gauge appreciation in advance , but she was long gone. His ears flopped in disappointment with himself for not reacting fast enough , maybe she’d stick around after dropping off his food to make sure he’d eaten.
Niko picked up his speed, nearly at the tip of Blaze’s tail. “Do you think she’ll come back and stay too ?” he’d questioned. Even if she didn’t , Niko was confident that he’d see her again to say thank you to her.
It was not long before they had managed to make it to their destination, the Alpha’s den. The pup’s gaze immediately looked into the den to see the Beta standing over someone. He stepped a few inches closer while Blaze introduced him to the Alpha. His eyes widened in aw as he looked upon the large brute that Blaze had claimed to be the Alpha. He was seemingly bigger than the three other adults that were there.
A warm but wet nose pressed up against him , he looked over to see Nova urging him to speak. “ I’m Niko . My parents were taken by humans. I haven’t seen them in days.” He quickly explained to the alpha. Deep down he hoped that the Alpha would not turn him away or make him fend for himself in this blizzard like weather.
The Beta had gave her condolences about his family all the while introducing herself to him. “Hi Ms.Nova.” The pup dipped his maw in her direction. That was something that he did learn before his parents were ripped away from him. He looked between the adults as they discussed what would happen with him in his first couple of days here. His tail wagged as the Beta looked at Blaze and demanded that he look over him. Niko almost immediately walked over to Blaze and popped his haunches on the floor next to him. “You won’t even notice that I am here, promise!” He yipped in excitement.

| Star Light | Pup | W/ Destiny | Present |
Kiyu listened to Destiny as she explained that her mother had also did the same to her. She wondered why they wanted to go about things the way that they did. However, that was now the past - not needing any further thought. "Hopefully, I'll understand their madness one day." the pup giggled.
"I uh.. I didn't do anything. Scythe was looking for her pups and I found them at the border.. helping the redmoon pup across." she summed up the story as much as she could. The tip of her ears dropped over her canals right after telling the story. As if she still felt guilty for getting the other pups in trouble. She huffed , shaking herself out of pity land. Kiyu knew that they knew better than that. They knew that Eros belonged on the other side of the border and that no matter how much they wanted to be friends - they had to obey the rules.

| Star Light | Fighter | W/ Freya | Alert |
The oversized brute chuckled as she answered herself. Amused that she'd answered her own questions even though he was supposed to answer. "No worries little lady , it happens." he laughed once more. His eyes stayed focused on her, watching for any movement that may strike as peculiar to him. Louie was sure that the young wolf meant no harm , however , she still belonged to the other pack and he could not count on her being completely friendly.
His ears flickered at her response of finding peace at the border. He nodded his head in agreement with her statements. The border, while separating the two , provided a space of concentration or focus. "The border is a lot calmer than one would think." he mentioned. The brute flipped his tail ack and forth, in attempt to show the other that he wasn't going to hurt her. Truthfully, if he wanted to - he could have done so already. "Why am I here?" he repeated her question back to her.
"It's my duty to patrol these borders and to make sure no one crosses that line." he briefly explained to her. He looked down the invisible line once again, not finding any other wolf or picking up any scents at the moment. Louie's gaze turned firm as he sniffed a few times confirming that no one else was near. "I too find peace here at the border - nobody is dumb enough to cross the territory lines." he mentioned to her. Then remembered what the pups had done today, almost kicking himself in the rear. They'd crossed the border and caused a lot of issues today.

Star Light | Hunter | W/Hakuren| Calm |
The fully black wolf laid to rest on the snow with her paws stretched out to support her maw. A sound of approaching paw steps perked her ears erect towards the blue dome above. She thought about why she was there and what was the reason for her being there, oh right, she was upset with Scythe for her behavior earlier. A dull pang of shame for her nasty retort instantly made her feel guilty. Her ears swayed backwards as she fixed her vision to Hakuren as he approached her.
“There’s a lot of tension between pack mates and I’ve sort of lost my appetite.” She huffed with frustration. She probably should eat soon ,but with everything going on at the present moment - food was on the back of her mind. She raised her muzzle from her paws as she pulled her body from the ground. Athena softly sighed. as a small relief of the pressure rolled off the tip of her tail.
She searched around them for others only to find them still in pairs or groups mingling amongst themselves. Athena quickly assumed that everyone felt the same way as she did. The suffocating aroma of depleting energy filled the pack’s air as they all tried to focus on what’s happening.
Athena shook her fur free of wetness from laying in the snow. “What about you?” She asked the question in return. “Why aren’t you eating ?” Another question rumbling after the first.
