Alistair continued carefully padding across the clearly marked territory boarders of an unknown pack. "Mae... Im not sure about this. Stay close to me. I have heard that these wolves aren't hostile unless provoked.. but Im not sure what they mean by "Provoked"." He stated with shifting eyes. The night was crip and cool, blowing his long mane-tuft away from his intense emerald eyes as his ears swiveled for any sign of movement. Suddenly a bush to their left rustled and the fur on the nape of his neck and along his rup rose instinctually. He let out a furious growl as he stanced himself between Mae and the potential attacker.

"Oh Ali. You worry too much sometimes. We mean no harm, and I'm sure they can tell that. I realize you've made yourself my protector, but calm down a bit love." She murmured, rubbing against his side. She saw his reaction to the rustling bushes. "Ali, relax. They will think you mean them harm like that." She said. She tended to think more rationally than Alistair sometimes. "I'm sure they will not attack us if they know we mean no harm. Now relax." She said, gently nipping the nape of his neck after stretching up to do so.

Alistair gave her an exhausted look, then returned his gaze towards the bush. He sheathed his fangs and quieted, however he stayed between her and the bush. "If they do not wish me to be on defensive, why do they hide in the shrubbery?" He questioned to her, his tail still raised high. As he said this, a tawny, tall, female with two hawk feathers behind her right ear stepped away from behind the shrub. She stood before them in a stance of Power. 'The Alphess of the local pack?' Alistair thought to himself as he gazed intensely eye to eye with the female.
"Greetings young ones." She stated with a kind tone as she came to a sitting position beside the bush. "My apologies for startling you, I had been digging up an old tresure when you two came padding by." She explained, wrapping her tail around her toes as was also Alistair's habit.
Alistair gave Mae a questioning look. She had always been better with formal meetings and greetings... He figured she wouldn't be afraid of this Alphess, considering she was a female.

As Alistair looked at her, she sighed. Figures he'd ask her to deal with this. Pack politics was her thing since she'd been trained in it anyways. "Hello ma'm. My name is Maenhira and this is Alistair. We are refugees from the Zephyrwillow pack, and seek the positions of scout in your pack." She spoke with the eloquence and poise instilled in her as a tiny pup. "I am the daughter of the powerful Alphas of the Fhenrir Pack, one that has since been abandoned due to Alpha Zhero's...abuse of one of his packmates." She didn't say which packmate though.

The elegant female nodded her head as she looked to them both, obviously trying to remeber the faces with the names. "Well Maenhira, Alistair, It is a pleasure to meet you both." She stated, she then turned to Maenhira. "I have heard of Alpha Zhero's abuse... I heard he even felt it fit to abuse his own blood." The female shook her head slowly, "Such a shame for one of our kind to become such a bloodthirsty monster." She mused, looking up once again as she adressed the other point. "Now, I have heard of the Zephyrwillow Pack. We were allies a while back... facing the Greywinters... however, last I heard they had become allies to fend off a different threat." She explained, her golden eyes peircing them both. "Were you two Scouts in the Zephy pack?" She inquired with a clear tone. "I just want to be sure I do not need to enlist you two into training." She added.

She winced as the Alphess spoke of the abuse she suffered, and quickly sat, hiding her scars from view. "Yes, we were both full scouts in the Zephyrwillow pack." She said quietly, covering up her legs with her fluffy tail. Thank heavens for her fluffy fur. "We do not require training ma'm." She said politely. -sss-

The female nodded. "Good, Good. My name is Talulla, and I am the Alphess of the Whiterose Pack. Our densite is just north of here." She then turned to Alistair. "So, you two are refugees?" She inquired, a puzzled and concerned look coming about her features. "Did something happen? Is Arlot and his mate alright?" She pressed, wanting details of her past relations. "I do hope none were killed, what a shame that would be." She mused.
Alistair piped up. "Well, we aren't exactly sure what happened to them. We were sent on a scouting mission together that took a couple of days to complete... but when we arrived back at the densite, it was empty." He looked at Mae for reasurance before continuing, finally sitting upon his rump to show respect. "We waited for them for weeks... but no one ever returned. It didn't look like a raid or anything... everything within the densite was in order. We couldn't understand it." He explained, looking to Mae again, then back to the Alphess nervously. He didn't bother telling the female Arlot had been Mateless for a while now.
"I see..." The Alphess said, turning again to Mae. "Mysterious... I will see if I can gather a search party to look for them. After all, we were alies. Until then, you two look like fine additions to my pack. Concider yourselves members, and of the Scout rank. We call it "Shrouded". Welcome, and I hope you find my abode suiting." She said with a kind smile.

As Ali finally sat down, she seemed to huddle closer to him. At the mere mention of her past, she got the worst memories. She was slightly shaking as a few memories came swimming to the surface. "What he said..." She murmured, her voice shaky as she spoke. Talking about her father's abuse of her threw her into a freaked-out stage for a few minutes, and only Ali could calm her down.

Ali wrapped his tail discretely around Mae. Public affection seemed inappropriate at this moment, however he knew he was the only one who could calm her down when she became upset like this. He touched his nose to her chin slightly then looked sternly back at the female.
The Alphess looked them over. "Alright young one? Did I do something wrong?" She questioned, but Alistair imediately defended. "She is jsut a bit weary from the journey here." He explained with concern for Mae. 'She should lie down' he thought abstractly as the female spoke once more. "Ahh yes, forgive me. Let us be underway." She said as she turned to lead them to the Densite.
Once there she directed the pair to their den. "This is for the Median Ranks. I hope you enjoy yourselves within the Whiterose Pack.
She began turning away when a sudden questin stopped her. She turned her head back slightly. "Forgive me for asking, but are you two a Mate Pair?" She inquired with a slight tilt to her head.

Still kinda dazed in her thoughts, the only reason she moved was because Ali kinda guided her. It was up to him to answer this question. Her paws shook slightly with every step she took as memories raced through her kind. The touch of Ali kept the worst memories at bay. She barely heard the Alphess speak to them she was so caught in her thoughts. -sss-

Alistair helped Mae lie down, then he looked to the Alphess with a respectful bow. "Yes ma'am. We are. We haven't had pups, for we were still awaiting permission from Arlot in order to do so, when he dissapeared." Alistair responded as he left Mae for a second to give the Alphess his full attention.
The female nodded, "I see. Well, congratulations to both of you, you ssem like a great pair. I would like to let you know however, that a ceremony is usually held to announce two wolves as a Mate Pair, but since I /am/ the only Alpha within the pack at the moment my knowing will do." She told the ashen male. As he got closer she used all her inner strength to keep from crinkling her nose at his scent... Burning Ash? She shook the thought from her mind as she continued. "My pack follows the same rule as Arlot, Mating wise." She told them. "I will have to give permission before you two can have pups. This mating season begins soon. I will be taking requests once I announce the season started." She told them with another kind nod. "Please rest Maenhira. I would like to see your strength having returned when I send the scouts out before the first hunting party." She stated. She nodded at Alistar and he did the same as she left them.
Alistair imedately went to Mae to lay beside her. He put his head upon her neck and sighed. "Are you alright, Love?" He inquired with concern.

"W-W-When she mentioned the abuse m-m-my father gave me... It brought back those memories..." She murmured, pressing her head into his chest. "Oh Ali... I don't know how I'm ever going to get rid of these awful memories. Any mention of /it/ brings them back." She said with a slight whine. She hung her head. "You don't deserve such a battered and beaten wolf such as myself..." She murmured.

Alistair sighed... "And you dont deserve a deserting betrayer such as myself. We both are ashamed of who we are... this is why we must stay as one. We are stronger this way." He told her, giving her nose a lick as he nuzzled her neck. "I now know memories are forever... but perhaps we can figure a way to keep them from affecting you in such a way." He mused. He then looked her in the eye. "I actually have a confession. "My nightmares have returned. They came back when the pack vanished. Ive been able to sleep periodically but the method that I used to get rid of my last nighmares does not prevail for these. In my dreams I felt as though they needed my help... that they weren't far but I couldn't hear them. I couldn't get to them." He explained, remembering that if he had any problems, she wanted to hear about them.
((Night! ^-^))
