Vegas - Mentions: North, Ashira, Dax

Vegas shifted uncomfortably as his alpha exited the den, leaving the three brutes in silence. Was Silaluk really dead? North broke his thought with an oh-so-lovely speech about the raise of Dax as alpha. As he felt North's gaze shift upon him for a moment, he stifled a harsh laugh and spoke, ears pinned against his skull. "Aye, the position is yours. I'm happy with mine. The pack wouldn't be eating with the new hunters without me." Vegas rolled his eyes before looking back to Dax and grinning sickly, speaking again. "Yes. Congratulations my friend."

Dax - Mentions: North, Ashira, Vegas

Dax wanted to protest against his alpha and say that they could still look. His hopes were still high. But should they be? Dax stared after her and never unlocked his gaze for the odd moment when Vegas spoke and North congratulated him. Dax looked to North with an unreadable expression, nodding before he exhaled heavily and stood up. "Thank you, both of you." Dax again nodded to them and looked to North is if saying he agreed it's be better for the Beauceron to take the position.

Dax exhaled heavily and exited the den, trotting after Ashira. The larger make tapped her flank with his large and wet black nose, looking at her with a hard expression. Ashira was broken, Dax as well. But with his partner down, the pack needed a stronger leader as of now. Dax looked over the trees for a moment before looking back to Ashira and speaking. "We... We can still look for him, Ashira! We could send dogs out at times.. Groups! Like hunting parties! You cannot truly give up on him, right? Ashira?" Dax's eyes softened for a moment before they turned back to emotionless.

Ashira // 3.5 // Female // Rhodesian Ridgeback // Wild Fangs Alpha Female // Bi
Mentions: Dax
Actions: *Flops around like a fish*

Ashira had already gone for a short swim in the river to wash off the blood, and she was sitting on the shore, just watching the waves when Dax approached her. She flicked her ear to acknowledge him when he tapped her, but didn't react much farther than that. His words almost caught her off-guard, though she quickly regained her composure. "It wouldn't change the fact that he's gone Dax." She sighed heavily. "When you're around a dog for that long, when you get to know every little facet of their personality like I knew him, you form a connection, one like no other. It's like your souls move in sync after that, Silaluk was everything to me but a mate. He was the father I never had, the brother I always needed... a best friend like no other... We truly were tied together by everything but blood. When a bond that strong is formed, a dog knows when it is broken, and the only sever that can do it is death." Ashira's explanation was quiet, and though she stayed stoic, the emotions she truly felt were all painfully apparent in her eyes. "He's gone Dax, I felt it, I could physically feel the bond breaking. He rests with the great one, and hunts among the stars now. She looked up at the moon forlornly, as if wishing that he would come back, or that she could join him. She glanced back over at Dax. "Though I ask one thing of you Dax, don't try to walk in his pawsteps. He was a great dog, and a great Alpha, but you must make your own path, just as he did. I'm sure you'll be a wonderful Alpha as well. She nudged his shoulder gently, an almost playful aura surrounding her, as if she was hoping to dispel a bit of the sorrow that clung to the air around them.

Aksel / Male / 4 Years / Norwegian Elkhound
Mentions: N/A

Aksel was on the prowl. It had been over a day since he last hunted, and it was coming time to fill his stomach again. He was following the trail of a large hare. It was a fresh scent, and he knew he was getting close to his prey.

Striding carefully, avoiding anything on the ground that would make too much noise, the creature was soon in view. He crept slowly, bracing himself for the moment the hare would startle and attempt to flee. Soon enough, the animal’s ears perked and he began to leap away. Aksel sprung into action, weaving along behind his next meal. While he wasn’t the strongest, Aksel’s breed was made for speed and agility. It didn’t take much effort to be on the hare, and sink his teeth into a fragile spine.

Aksel shook the animal, pinned the hare down with his paws, grabbed the back of his neck, and snapped it. As he relished in his catch, the scents left behind by many dogs assaulted his nostrils.

Shit. He knew, suddenly, he had been this close to imposing on the Wild Fang’s territory. Just barely, but here he was. How had he not noticed earlier? In the intensity of his hunt, nothing else had been important. While he had found the hare outside of their territory, he had managed to chase it right towards them. He could have been in some serious trouble.

He considered the fact that he could be already. He was dangerously close to their boundaries, after all. Aksel grimaced and picked up his hare, beginning his retreat, and hoping no one would notice him and attempt to steal his meal.

Snowball
Female - 4? - Rottweiler
Sven, NPC humans/dogs, Babel, Ryu

She looked up at the large black dog before her, but the female was already gone with a snobbish husky following. A snort blew through her lips until something nudged her and came dangerously close to getting bitten, Sven's scent blew over her and she relaxed into his touch, following after him. Every step clearing the fog away from her mind and her pawsteps becoming more and more even, as well as the noise from the human group behind them. Her lips curled up slightly, speeding up as much as she could to walk beside Sven until the fog was completely gone and she could walk properly, thick tail hitting Sven every so often.

Babael || 4 years || Newfoundland Great Dane mix || mentions: Sven, Ryu, Snowball
The path appeared in her mind like she had just traveled it yesterday and she picked up the pace to put more distance between them and the humans. She weaved through the trees and made it hard for the group to be followed through their journey, turning to make sure their new companions were keeping up. After a while she slowed, the sounds of the humans that had been tracking them were gone, but now was not the time to rest. It took a bit longer for the metal den to come into sight, when it did Babael lifted back her head and let out a howl of victory before she smiled at Ryu. "We're home." She said. As the approached the den she showed the newcomers how to enter the den without being skewered. Once inside the large dog flopped down on the pelt that lay inside.

Alaska || Female || Adult || Siberian Husky || Mentions: Radjka

As the Husky was laying down inside the healing den, she couldn't help but jerk to her paws when the unconscious German Shepherd startled awake. There was an eerie silence for a couple of seconds before Radjka started to question her existence. "Calm down, take a deep breath. I don't want you to go into a cardiac arrest." She spoke slowly.

"My name is Alaska and I'm the lead Medic in The Wild Fangs. I saw you bleeding out on the ground and decided to take it upon myself to not let you die." Her golden brown gaze scanned his wounds as she swallowed. "So here you are, all patched up in a nest." The female settled down, nostrils flaring as the scent of blood and herbs made her nose tingle. "May I ask what happened? Do you remember anything?"

Ruger || Male || Adult || German Shepherd || Mentions: Ryker & Lianna

Ruger grunted in response to Rykers death threat. "Okay, first of all, you'd have to catch me if you can." The broad, black and brown dog teased before flinching in surprise to Lianna's nose being pressed against his shoulder. "Ah, I think I can move, I mean- unless I'm missing something." Ruger searched his body, playfully.

"Huh, maybe I forgot my dignity." He shrugged, trying to lighten up the mood and forget what had just happen not too long ago. Ruger refused to look in the direction that everything had happened, afraid he wouldn't be able to take it.

Slade || Male || Young Adult || Wolfdog || Mentions: The Wild Fangs

A dark silhouette slipped through the forest. Leaves and twigs snapping every once in a while and a squirrel or bird fleeing here and there. The slender Wolfdog snarled under his breath as the aroma of multiple dogs entered his system. A pack... Was all he thought. The muscular dog trudged through the fallen brush as he made his way after the wafting scent. It's enticing call to him made the unknown male walk a bit faster.

He wasn't going to leave this pack alone without a bit of blood on his paws. A smirk lit up the multi-greyscaled wolfdog's face. His icy blue eyes narrowed.

Flapjack || Male || Adult || Long Haired Weiner Dog || Mentions: Open for interaction

Flapjack was scrambling over a rock, which was about as big as the mid-point length in an average dogs leg. Huffing, the Weiner dog was determined to find refuge in the woods. A dog as small as him wasn't safe in these parts of the forest. The slight breeze made his fur start to prickle and raise on end. "God I hope I find some shelter soon."

Snowball paused outside the den as a strange scent rolled over her nostrils the husky seemed to go after it bristling. Her ears flattened backwards, though dazed, followed him just in case. She came upon the Ryu character with a snort, he seemed to be standing against a dog with prey in its mouth. Her lips lifted slightly, walking towards them, "leave it alone Ryu come back. Check on Babael and leave this mutt be." Without a word she turned on her paws and walked back towards the metal death trap of a den and worked her way through it slowly. Feeling a spike tap her shoulder before she went more slowly, eyes looking for Sven lazily.

Dax - Male - 4 years - Beauceron - New Alpha / Mentions: Ashira, King, Radjika, Alaska, Silaluk, Vegas, North, Black Jack, Rest of pack

Dax exhaled heavily, nodding in her direction as he spun around. "I shall tell the pack now," Dax spoke, his loud voice seeming softer until the last words of his sentence where he turned stone cold. Ashira was not fit to tell the pack, no. But she was fit enough emotionally to be there beside him. Dax's warning to his fellow alpha was muttered as he pushed through the stones and leaves on the ground, leading himself to the center of there camp. Dax glanced at Vegas, then to his beta North. He had respect for the dog, and now he would have to trust the Beauceron with his own life as well as Ashiras and the Packs. The beta position seemed a lot more important now that he was leading this pack alongside Ashira. North would pull through, though.
As the dog tore his gaze from North, he met his cognac eyes with the lead hunter who oh so easily gave up the vets position. A smart move. Vegas would be high tailing it halfway through the fight to get out of it. Dax gave the hunter a slight nodas he sighed and glanced to North, motioning with his head with a jerk that he should come join him and Ashira when she came. Soon she will. Dax paused for a second, glancing up at the midnight black sky, lined with clouds and the occasional star. Dax raised his tail higher than it was before, straightening his position and letting a loud and stone cold bark ring through the camp, motioning for all dogs to gather around. "Elders, Warriors, Hunters, and even omega and pups must be listening intently to what I am about to say to you all." Dax paused, raising his head higher as the dogs averted their attention from what they were doing to gather near the new Alpha. For now he had to wait for Ashira to stand beside them before he continued.

N O R T H | Male | Beauceron | Wild Fangs Beta
Mentions: Alaska, Ashira, Dax, Vegas

Golden eyes remained on Dax's solemn face, acknowledging Vegas' words with the slightest flick of an ear. How interesting of him to give up an opportunity so quickly, but North inwardly felt relieved. A spar, one that would inevitably be to the death, was not what they needed within their ranks right now. They needed unity, strength, confidence, which North slightly vowed to provide. With their new alpha male leaving the den to pursue Ashira, he too stepped into the campground to wait for their return. Something tugged his paws in the direction of Alaska's den, eager to make her aware of the news. How would this effect them, whatever they were? A busy medic paired with a beta expected to be punctual and useful- perhaps their time together would be minimal. Nonsense. Abandoning his thoughts, he rose to his paws once Dax came back into view. Solitary, though he wasn't surprised, Ashira needed time to grieve. At his beckoning, the massive brute gave a firm, encouraging nod in return and joined his fellow beauceron. Standing respectfully at his shoulder, he stood with his tail low as they awaited the Rhodesian ridgeback. Despite North's reputation for being rather obnoxious and arrogant with his achievements, the male appeared to be quite humble at his very moment, perhaps even a bit sorrowful. Any dog below who ran their eyes across his face knew quite quickly that what they were about to announce was serious.

R Y K E R | Male | German Shepherd | Loner
Mentions: Ruger, Lianna, Piper, Ikkuma

"It's still there- for now. You better hurry up, though, before I snatch it away from you." Though the shepherd's voice was laced with an irreversible sorrow, he tried to let a playful tone intercept his emotions in an attempt to perk up his companion. His claws clicking on the cold asphalt seemingly emphasized the silence between them as he turned around to lean his shoulder against one side of Ruger, ready to help his friend in any way needed. "Let's go. It's cold, and we need rest." Unsure of what to do, he glanced helplessly towards the fallen body of the small border collie. He didn't remember her being so petite before. "If you think you'll be able to help him on your own-" His teak-coloured eyes flickered to Lianna briefly. "-Then I'll carry Piper. Once we've found somewhere safe to lay low, I'll go off and find an appropriate burial site." Firm, even, low. He refused to let pain seep into his words. As much as this was a painful blow to him, he had to remind himself to be thankful- he was still alive, as was his best friend and their newest pack member. They hadn't stumbled across Ikkuma's fallen form, and they hadn't had to bury her either- perhaps there was still hope. "Let's head back to the abandoned building Ikkuma initially showed us. It's the closest place near by, and I think any enemies we'd potentially have are now dead." His whiskers twitched a little. He was pleased that Piper's murderers had their own lives stolen away.

Babael || 4 years || Newfoundland Great Dane mix || mentions: Sven, Ryu, Snowball
Babael watched Sven as he seemed to grow anxious, most likely worrying about his companion Snowball. She did not worry for the other so much as long as she was with Ryu, though she could see that offered no comfort to the male. "You two are most welcome, I would never turn a blind eye to someone in need, though I regret the same might not be said for my companion." She chuckled but continued. "I ask that you forgive his grumpiness, we lost two friend recently and he is taking it rather hard." She gave them a curt nod before she turned back to the entrance, waiting for Ryu to join them.
