Stryker || Male || 4 years || Hunter || Shadow's Pack

Stryker was chewing on a small rabbit he recently caught when he saw Lynx walking away with little Vulcan. Hopeless case, He thought, watching the vulnerable pup follow Lynx. The pup would grow up to be an omega, that much seemed obvious to Stryker. He pitied omegas, but appreciated them. They were a good punching bag for pups. He licked the bones of the small carcass then stood and walked towards the group. The talk of a fight with a nearby pack was exciting, a chance to show off. He didn't care whether or not the other pack was in the wrong, he wanted a fight. He layed down on the ground and watched the group converse, waiting for night.

Vulcan || Male || 1 year || Pup

The pup listened to Lynx, and followed her with his head lowered, licking his chops. His mouth felt dry, and the though of food made him want to vomit. He had trouble putting one paw in front of the other at this rate, and he whimpered internally.

Why had Lynx suggested to Shadow that he should fight? Vulcan didn't understand. She wasn't mean like the Alpha, yet she wasn't loving either. She was just kind of... Indifferent. She was like that to everyone, Vulcan reminded himself.

Ajax || Male || 4 years || Beta Male

Ajax smirks, eyes locked with Ezrin's. "Of course, my Queen." He purrs, interlacing his tail with hers. He enjoyed the pretending as well, though thought of her as more of a little sister, really. Annoying, lovable, and he felt an overwhelming need to protect her. Though they were indeed excellent friends, and he enjoyed spending time with her. When the meeting ceased, he was oddly pleased to be in the same wave as his "mate". Not that he was attracted to her in "that" way, but he liked that he could help her if things went sour. "Now, what was it you wanted to talk about?" He asks, guiding her away from prying ears. As soon as he'd heard he words "I need to talk", he instantly came to the conclusion that she didn't want anyone else to hear what she had to say. If she had, then she simply would have said it already.

(Didn't know what to do with Twist, so here's Ajax for now xD)

Ezrin || Female || 2 years || Beta Female (Shadow's Pack)

Ezrin grinned as soon as they were away. "I'm getting bored of this pack," she whispered, a gleam in her eye that wasn't quite sane. "I plan to turn on my packmates during the attack, but of course, I wouldn't like to be fighting you, darlin'. And you owe me one for agreeing to pretend to be your mate, and you can even everything out by agreeing to leave with me."

Her plans tended to be crazy; insanity was a family trait, but she did well at covering her more violent impulses. "If that's not enough to convince you to come, I happen to know that Kade's mate died recently. She may be torn up about it . . . But she's a survivor, and will probably be looking for a new mate soon, and I know just the guy for the job."

Lynx | Female Fighter | 4 Years, 5 Months | Shadow’s Pack
Reaching the small stream that started from between two boulders, Lynx lowered her head to drink the refreshingly cold water, less a sign of trust and more a doubt in the pups fighting abilities. Licking her chops the female raised her head and silently nodded her head toward the stream and indication that Vulcan should drink while she hunted. Normally she would have made the young wolf hunt for himself, she was not his nursemaid after all. This time though the fighter was going to hunt for them both as she did not want to risk losing a meal before the battle. Lynx was an average hunter and would have carried her weight as one if she had not sported the fighting ability she did, as a result she pulled her weight in pack hunts. Unlike around the clock hunters though the female did not have that instinctual connection with her prey, the ability to guess its direction or behavior from hunting and practicing on many of its brethren, in her hunts the female often had to expend more energy than a practiced hunter on chasing down her prey as she could not anticipate where it would move. Moving through the rocky sparsely grassed landscape, Lynx was hidden by the shadows watching the world around her, often stopping to scent the air and to listen for a sound. At a soft scitter the female froze standing completely still only the top of her head visible above a sizable rock. Her was patience soon rewarded her as a young female pheasant showed itself fluffing its feathers, obviously looking for a mate as it was that time of the year. This was one of the prey creatures that were the easiest for Lynx to hunt as every wolf knew a bird would leap for the sky at any sign of danger. Moving forward silently Lynx waited a beat before springing onto the rock and into the air, so silent was her movement that the bird did not realise it was being attacked until the fighter was almost on top of her, a more experienced bird would have run a few steps before flying having a small chance of escape, this bird though was young and gave into her instinct to jump into the air meeting the ironically named Lynx head on. Crushing the small bird’s head the fighter brought her prize back to Vulcan dropping it on the ground before turning to catch her own meal. What she found was a bigger challenge a thin male hare, more experienced in age it sensed danger and ran dodging the attack that would have had it killed if it had stood still. Hopping back and forth it ran for the safety of its hole, but age was against it now as it was not as fast as it used to be and the old male hare lost the race two safety by a hair's breathe. Meal firmly clamped in her jaws Lynx returned to Vulcan leaping onto a nearby boulder so as to better see her surroundings, it would be just like one of the many wolves in Shadow’s pack to use this time to ambush her in an effort to state dominance. Tearing a piece of meat off her hare the female's eyes wandered back to Vulcan studying him with an indecipherable blue gaze before switching her orbs to the sunset. She wanted to tell him to run and try his luck with whatever was left of this pack they were going to attack, she doubted that Ezrin’s stories were true, that a pack member would risk his or her own life to save another's, it was so alien to the ideals held within Shadow’s pack and everything Lynx had known that the story was like that of an old wives tale that mothers would tell their pups. Being in a new pack though would give Vulcan the chance to act dominant even if was only a fraction more it would make all the difference between omega and pup sitter as Vulcan did not seem to have the right character for hunter or fighter. Letting out a sigh Lynx kept her silence as her inability to start the conversation was lacking and her reasons for caring for Vulcan undefined to even her. Perhaps he would find the courage to speak and by extension help her take a step through the invisible barrier that always seemed to be present to Lynx when trying to express her thoughts to others.

Vulcan || Male || 1 year || Pup

Lynx had stopped at a stream, and she motioned for him to drink as well. At that, the pup forced himself to lap up the water, tasteless on his tongue. It hardly calmed his nerves, and the pup didn't lose tension in his body. After a little bit, he finally sat down, licking his chops again.

That was when Lynx came back with a kill. A pheasant at that, and she signaled for him to eat it. Vulcan forced himself to eat some, and he found himself almost choking on the food. He was still trying to force down the food when Lynx returned, and he looked up at the she-wolf, finally abandoning his half-eaten meal.

Kaeva Female || 3 years || Scout || Shadow's Pack mentions: The pack (too many names to write)

The silver wolf stiffened and her blue eyes narrowed as she heard what Shadow had said. Then after a moment she dipped her head "You're completely right", she said, and then turned around, walking away. Her eyes sought a point in the distance where the other pack was located.. I'm leaving... now., she thought. She had always wanted to explore, to see new places, but she had always lost her nerve. Her fur stood on end, this time was different. She had to, at least, warn the other pack about Shadow's plans. Kaeva slipped off as quietly and discreetly as she could, hoping her almost white colored pelt wouldn't give her away, and that if another pack member did see her they would just assume she was off exploring again. Just before she was about to leave she gave one last look at her old pack. Kaeva wasn't totally hidden by the shadows of the trees, if a packmate was looking for her they were bound to notice her light colored fur even in the shadows of the trees. Should I take someone with me?, she thought with a tilt of her head. Granted, there was no guarantee the the other pack that was camped at the base of the mountains was friendly. She scanned the group of wolves there. Ezrin and Ajax seemed to be discussing something and Kaeva didn't want to approach them. They were Betas which also meant they might immediately get suspicious of her or report her to Shadow. Fang, the other scout was not going to be an option. She couldn't read him. Next she noticed Stryker and her green eyes observed him for a bit. Stryker was a fighter, and he might intimidate the pack. While observing him she mentally noted that Stryker seemed to be ... ....excited? she thought. Kaeva didn't need a wolf that might get her into more trouble. Finally, she saw Kova. He seems bored..., she thought, slightly amused. She watched him for a while, maybe fifteen minutes, trying to decide whether she could trust him or not.

Stryker || Male || 4 years || Hunter || Shadow's Pack
Mentions: Kaeva

As Stryker observed the pack, he noticed a white wolf slipping into the shadows. Kaeva? Stryker cocked his head, curious. He stood up and decided to talk to her, he never usually talked to members of the pack. As he approached her, he lifted his head high, standing to his full height. "So where are you going?" He said teasingly. He figured she was going for a short walk, probably to get some rest before the fight. "Excited for the fight tonight?" He asked, nudging her side with his own. He was only being friendly because they were in a pack together. He didn't care for communication, but it's good to bond with your pack before a big event. Kaeva seemed... nervous. Which was normal before a fight.

Kova | Male Hunter | 4 Years | Shadow’s Pack
Kova had lain down keeping his brain blank as to avoid any thought of the coming fight. As he was just lying there the hunter had the oddest sensation of being watched. He was able to ignore it for quite few minutes but eventually it got to him and he turned his head searching for it’s source. His eyes landed on Kaeva, he did not know the scout well only that she did not randomly attack others for little or no reason. She seemed to be debating something in her mind and it probably involved himself as she had been staring at him for quite a while. Rising to his feet Kova moved toward the silver female his brown and white coat moving over the muscles beneath yellow eyes locked on his target. Stryker got to the female first though and began asking her how excited she was for the fight...it disturbed Kova greatly that one could be so excited for the chance to kill another wolf. Kova stopped keeping his distance from the two wolves...if Kaeva needed him she would have to approach him. Lying down once again Kova watched the two wolves...perhaps Kaeva was excited like Stryker had said, perhaps she could not wait for the fight to start like so many others in the pack.

Kaeva Female || 3 years || Scout || Shadow's Pack mentions: NAMES

Stryker's friendly voice surprised her. The she-wolf's ears flicked back, and she hesitated, unsure of what he wanted. He usually was quiet, maybe it was just some bonding before fighting. It usually brought out pack bonding. He was bigger than her by far, and she knew most of the time when it came to a fight she at a disadvantage. She tensed slightly, the forced herself to relax. "I just hope no one gets hurt", , she replied calmly. The white she wolf had to restrain herself from flashing her teeth, she was irritated that they even had to participate in such an event. The male wolf was puzzling to her. I can tell he wants to fight, but he doesn't seem malicious... she thought with a tilt of her head. "I can tell you're excited." Kaeva said lightly. "I'm not usually into fighting, I'm not big or strong like you" She said, playfully nudging the large hunter wolf with her body and then headbutted him gently. "Either way we'll win because of our numbers...", Kaeva said unable to hide the bitterness in her voice, and she tensed up again, her eyes were stormy. Kaeva looked down and walked towards Kova wagging slighty, but the expression on her face didn't match her body language. Her green eyes were serious, and unreadable. "Kova,", she said quietly, "we should check out the camp before the attack, her voice was cautious but her eyes remained focused on him, and she studied him, taking in every small detail of his response. Seeing how he responded would let her know whether he would even be open to what she was about to do. I don't expect anyone to agree with me.., she thought dryly. The plan she had was crazy, any wolf could see that. Not only is it risky because of Shadow, we could be walking into unfriendly territory. They may even take us as hostages, she thought. Kaeva knew the risks, but she didn't care, she would accept her fate if it came to that.

Stryker || Male || 4 years || Hunter || Shadow's Pack

Stryker could sense Kaeve didn't like the idea of attacking the other pack. Stryker sat and stared at the ground. They didn't do anything wrong, why would Shadow kill over this? He's just... a bad guy. Stryker was a fighter. He was aggressive. He never used to be. Losing his mate and unborn pups sparked something evil inside himself. He knew he couldn't get revenge on an earthquake, but if he took take it out on stranger wolves, he would. He would do anything to get the sickening feeling out of his chest. He looked up, about to say something to Kaeva, but she was walking away. He was about to follow after her, but she began talking to Kova. With a huff Stryker layed down and began watching the pack again. Kaeva seemed up to something... Stryker minded his own business.

Lynx | Female Fighter | 4 Years, 5 Months | Shadow’s Pack
Lynx finished her meal making sure to gnaw on one of the bones to better sharpen her teeth, the female was keenly aware of the pup, who had discarded his half eaten meal in favor of staring at her. Normally Lynx would have been unbothered by the action but situation made memories rise to the surface...the pup reminded her of her lost brother though the only thing the two had in common was a rather fluffy neck mane. Finally the females patience snapped and she looked up meeting the you male's gaze, the bone she had been gnawing on still safely trapped between her paws. There was a shred of impatience in her voice as she spoke, “You look like a wolf with with a question on his mind. Cougar caught your tongue? If you want to say something, say it instead of just sitting there staring at me like I’m a snake with wings.”

Kova | Male Hunter | 4 Years | Shadow’s Pack
Kova’s eyebrows furrowed...had the scouts not already looked over the area? He was confused by Kaeva’s comment but it sounded better than sitting listening to all of the wolves talk about the fight. Besides it would serve as punishment for Kova, watching the wolves the pack so blindly spoke of killing. In the hunter's eyes he was about to commit a crime by aiding his pack in its senseless killings. He had seen one before when he had been young, only an adolescent, there had been so much blood and many yelps of pain…the worst by far though had been the cries of the pups killed. The memories still haunted the male and were perhaps the reason for his aversion to the act of fighting. “I will accompany you Kaeva.”

Kaeva || mentions: Stryker Kova, remmington, remmingtons mate

Jist before she had walked off Kaeva had noticed a flash, a small expression she couldnt discern on Stryker. Whatever it was.. it gave her a sinking feeling in her chest. She didnt know him, but maybe he was in pain too. She let the thought pass and noticed Kova's brow furrow. Was he suspicious?, she thought with some slight nervousness. She nodded as he agreed to accompany her. "You have my thanks," she said with a dip of her head and proceeded to walk in the direction of the other wolves camp. When she was a considerable distance away she turned to Kova. "We'll need to get close... " she said quietly. She noticed two wolves relaxing, a male and a female, who Kaeva guessed were mates. The two wolves had been playing for awhile before relaxing. Then she looked at Kova, and whispered quietly, "Kova, do you really think this is right?" Rhe she wolf's eyes were looking at him searching for an answer. She looked down and her voice faltered, "...I dont."

Vulcan winced at her words, drawing his ears back. Instantly, his body language took on a more submissive tone. He slowly started to lower himself to the ground, and he was about to start speaking when he suddenly felt like he had enough. Even though he started shaking more when he straightened up, he made himself look taller. He stood on shaky legs, his ears still drawn back, but his tail no longer tucked. He stared right at Lynx with questioning eyes.

"... Why... Why do I have to fight... Are you trying to get me killed???" His words wavered, and his head lowered slightly. "No matter what, I'm going to face some wolf. If I go out there, some wolf will get ahold of me. I'll be ripped to shreds. If I try and back down, Shadow will hunt me down. He will personally see to my punishment. So why, Lynx, please just... Tell me..."

It was a start. His body language, contrary to his usual submissiveness, took on a slightly dominant standing, even if he was shaking. He was trying, he just wanted out of the fight, he just wanted to do what Shadow told him so he wouldn't get killed viciously...
