Wolves' Howl V.3 ~ NEEDS MEMBERS!!!

[Alpha*]

James reguards the oher for a long moment, a questioning light in his strange eyes. Then shrugging, he nods and continues silently on his way. This time, he is careful to keep his pace slower, less tiereing is why. And he feels as though he had been rude. Unfamilliar with the territory, he memorizes landmarks to guide them and soon comes across the camp. "Not know...Dumah den." he tells Pyro.

Tempest forces a smile, "I'm...fine too." she answers. Saving her question about Dumah for later, the she-wolf reguards the alpha. "Storm said you wanted to speak with me. But I dont know about what." she cuts to the chase with no finese, playing with her tail and dropping her gaze. "It sounded like he thought it was important - he was vocal...didnt use his mind like he usually does with me." she admits softly.

Shadow felt his ears fall when he heard Tempest speak of Storm, who had told her that he'd wanted to speak with her. Small shadows curl around his dark paws, almost nervously, as the alpha spoke, shifting his gaze to the ground at his paws briefly. "I would not ask this of you if it was not important, and if there were not something to cause this. I had asked Storm first, a little over a month ago, shortly before he left and returned with that golden wolf, Cassiel, but he had told me it was your choice, and that I would have to speak with you." His silver gaze lifted, and he drew a breath in through his nose, before he continued, "I am in need of an alphess. I am not asking you to be my mate, not unless you are willing, but my-- our packs, need a fae's touch on the way they will be governed. My pack, personally, has not had an alphess for two summers," he flicked his tail, his ears drooping even further, "I cannot say why this is of such importance, as you will have to ask Storm. It had originally been my idea to combine the packs, but up until now Storm did not ask me to put our plans ahead, and to change them."

Pyro continues after James quietly, although once they come upon the camp, where three separate dens were located, along with some others that were obviously not in use. He heard James' words, although his gaze snapped to a den where he heard a hostile and protective snarl come from, recognizing the black and gray wolf as one that he'd seen Dumah with the first day he'd seen her again. Dusk growled, low in her throat, her lips curled back over her teeth, baring them, before she turned and disappeared into Dumah's den with a flick of her tail. "Well, I'd assume that's it." Pyro said, although he could hear quite a few growls coming from inside, and then, a softer voice, although still in Lupine, obviously Dumah's.
"Pyro and James are here,"
"Why?"
"They want to see Dumah, of course."
Fire had growled at that, but Dumah's soft words spoken in Lupine silenced him.
"Let James in."
And so, Fire emerged from the den, and sat, speaking to James, although he used telepathy, because he knew that Pyro did not understand Lupine. She wishes to see James, alone. She is still afraid, so I must ask you to leave any weapons you have with you out here. The Omega spoke in a reasonable tone, although Pyro felt a pang in his chest knowing that his sister had chosen the Joined child over him. Dumah sat on her deer skins, Dusk pressed against her side as she waited for James, although her hand, under the cloak and skins wrapped around her, was placed on the blade at her hip, more of an assurance than anything.

(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHADOW WHYYYY YOU RUINED MY MENTAL SHIP *sobs* lololol bby just poke me when you need my charries)

[Alpha*]

"Think." says the young man with a nod of agreement. James listens, his eyes widen. She wanted to see him!?! Joy suffused his features, then he sobers, glancing at Pyro. He shoves hair out of his face, and drops first the bag of fish - extracting one, then finally three and then gently, even tinderly places his knife and shieth beside on a rock. "Ask see Pyro." he promises, slipping inside. He speaks their names in lupine, scooting the fish closer to them. "Pyro-kin become the Joined-Child of my Alpha Storm." he tells them, "He wants to tell you Silence, he is worried about you."

Hatred. Anger. Confusion. Betrayal. Grief. Pain. "Asked him what?" she choaks out, trying not to sob. It's all becom clear to the she-wolf... and she feels betrayed. His eyes. Those gray eyes. How many times had she stared at the clouds and thought of those eyes, that wernt quite the right shade? Those eyes that haunt her... She mentally shakes it off and screams at her brother. How Dare you? How dare you?! Her dreams shattered, gone forever. She could never have them now. She has a duty to the packs now. More than ever before. She pushes the thoughts down stubbornly, time to mourn later over what can never be. His idea. Their idea. Pushing it ahead. What to do? What to do? The white wolf swallows, "Yes, fine." she murmmers, cant meet his eyes. Did she even want to be his mate anymore...after this?

(EDITING)

[Soul Of Space]

Pyro gave a nod when James said he would ask her to see him, and then disappeared into the den. Defeatedly, Pyro sat, lifting the hem of his shirt to remove the knife belt that was wrapped around his waist, and setting it aside, near James'. He can hear quiet voice coming from inside, but because they are in Lupine, he does not understand.
Dumah looked up from Dusk when James entered, fish in his grip. She heard him speak, although she was watching him carefully, almost warily, she gave a small nod. She turned her head back to Dusk and spoke quietly to her, who then stood and padded out, saying, "Be careful with her," before slipping past the deerskin, sitting next to her brother. The brown eyed girl remained seated, and freed one hand from the layers that kept her warm, reaching it hesitantly toward the Joined. "Pyro will not stay as Storm's. His real father is dead, and so he does not like the concept of having another." she spoke quietly, as though she were afraid of speaking too loudly. "Will you, um, sit, here?" she made a vague motion to the place that Dusk had been previously, her face warming at the same time her hand returned to the hilt of the blade on her hip.

Shadow looked down abruptly, his ears burning. "I only asked him because it is customary to ask the alpha of the pack before the fae, but I was unsure of how to ask you. I am sorry to ask you this way, as though it were business, a trade, but it isn't, I promise you. It was, originally, at first, but that changed as I got to know you." He shifted his weight on his paws, falling silent, having felt the need to have at least told her that, even though she had agreed.

[Alpha*]

Tempest feels her heart shatter and melt. Buisiness...? A whimper is torn from her lovely throat. "I already agreed, you do not have to explain anything to me Alpha Shadows Rise." answers the white wolf, resisting the impulses to snarl and attack him. It wasnt done. And that la should not be broken now. Abruptly, she stands.

"Perhaps...but we owe him, Storm offered, its up to Pyro to reject. I hope he does not."James scoots over, to the spot by her, but does not crowd, "Please eat." he asks, tossing the other two fish at the feet of Dusk and Fire. "I know you havnt." he holds her fish out, tentatively. He then, softly, calls for Pyro in English. "Pyro come. Slow." he says to the other man. Eyes are wide as he watches the cave-enterance.

[Tyki-Pon]

(*whispers in tempest ear* Yes yessss. Attack him. Send him home greatly wounded..... then Shadow Demon can tend to his wounds and his heart /shot/)

Shadow made a sound of disagreement, "But I do. You have the right to know. And it isn't business, not anymore. I just," he stopped, his ears pinned back and staring at his paws, as though they had the answers, as the shadows there moved around restlessly. "I like you, I really do. I didn't say that I would not ask you to be my mate, I said that I was not, unless you were willing. Are you?" his gaze lifts to her, but he does not stand.

Dumah made a quiet sound in the back of her throat as James spoke, pulling the furs closer around herself as he moved closer to her, as she had asked. When he offered her a fish, she gazed at it for a long moment, before dropping the furs and cloak, releasing her hold on the hilt of her knife, and reached out to take it. Pyro was surprised to hear James call him in, and he ducked in, and he caught Silence's wary gaze, and he seated himself, a little ways into the den, although keeping his distance from his sister. She seemed to appreciate him tolerating her wariness. Silence gave a wolfish sound of greeting, but she didn't speak to him, instead turning to James. "Why did you come?" she asked him, speaking in Lupine, although her tone was not chiding, more curious, although it was a wary sort of curiosity.

[Alpha*]

"I was worried. I have been comming...but i havnt been allowed in. Your Father is worried, he misses you. And Pyro was worried - i promised to bring him...he was worried as well. Even Shadow Demon is worried for you." James answers softly, after having taken a moment to think before speaking. Pleasure at her reaching for the fish lights his eyes a moment, then he schools himself into nutriality.

The white wolfs eyes are filled with tears that she does not let be shed. "You already have my answer." though her tone is nutral, pain glitters elusively. She feels like he doesnt mean it, like its a reason to join the packs. "If I can take my leave please?" she had returned to sitting, so she doesnt run. Tempest is mentally wailing, wishing to talk to a friend...but she hasnt any. She feels her brother block out her wordless, multi-toned cry, but doesnt say a word to her. Nothing of comfort. So what if that is the question she'd been dreaming of? And if the question had come on a different day, in a different way, without this conversation...she would have been overjoyed to say yes.

Shadow looked down, away from her, hearing the upset in her tone. He gave a small, solemn nod when she told him that he had her answer, and then heard her question. "You may," he responded, lifting his gaze only briefly enough to see the golden wolf land near the entrance of the bluffs, obviously watching the two of them. He flicked his tail, stood, keeping his ears pinned with distress, allowing the invisible wall of shadows he had put up around the bluffs to prevent anyone from eavesdropping -- even from the air -- to fall.

Dumah shifted her gaze to the fish in her hands, knowing that she should eat, but she did not feel hungry. After she had been brought home from the far off village, she had tried to eat, but ended up sick, which was why she hadn't been eating. "I know." she mumbled in Lupine, "I didn't want to see anyone." She knew that Pyro was frustrated, because he did not understand their speech, and it was obvious that Dumah did not wish to speak the human language again. "I'm sorry," she said, lifting her gaze briefly to look at James, before she looked at the floor of her den on the side of her opposite to where James sat. Pyro gave a small, almost sad smile, understanding that Dumah would not speak English to him, but he did understand enough Lupine to hear her apology. It had obviously been directed to both of them, although it was only James that she had looked at.
