Jasper
Male / 3 / Loner-Warrior
Mentions: Yuki Location: Shadow Territory.

Jasper flicked his ears as her stomach grumbled and the fae's body practically gave out on her. He moved forwards with a grim smile, wrapping his teeth around her scruff and picking her up. He barely felt the weight! They really had brought her down to skin and bones huh? He snarled at the thought, spinning on his silvery heels and taking off towards the camp. Jumping over dead bodies as swiftly as he could, not wanting poor Yuki to experience the shock of seeing all that, though he doubted it'd register in her mind. He could feel the hungered growls shaking her body and he winced for her. Making it to camp around 10 minutes later the wolf finally slowed and took her over to the carcass. It was right where he remembered it was, he placed the pup down next to it and nudged her forwards. "Eat, it's all yours. Just... Don't eat to much or it'll make you sick."
He smiled down at her, his ears flickering around to survey the surroundings for anyone threatening to harm the pup. Once she ate however he'd scoop her up again and trek up the mountainside to seek guidance from the other pack's alpha. His nose quivered as the scent of the rabbit hit his nostrils but he didn't react to it, letting the starved pup eat her fill first. Jasper never once moved from his vigilent spot behind the pup and rabbit, he was puffed up and ready to fight whoever made a move to harm Yuki. He made it his responsibility to watch over her until a proper mother could be found. The male's tail lashed across the ground every so often, swirling up dust and a bit of debris behind him. Though he paid it no mind.

Lynx| Female | 4 Years, 5 Months | Unranked

Mind..... blank.

Gaze a barren gray, blood leaking from claw marks evident on the dark female's right flank.

Victory.

Now it was one step in front of the other, following familiar and strange scents up the mountain. Why? That was and interesting question and one the female could not answer. For most of her life, her very survival had depended on the flame of anger, and revenge to get through the hard times...all the times. Now? Now. Now the flame had no fuel, and the illusion of purpose was gone with Lynx's hated alpha, dead. Purpose was no longer something tangible to the dark female...and...perhaps she was hoping those atop the hill would pose a challenge, an interest, something if at the least a quick, final, fight to the death. Anything to get the pure feeling of being lost and scared out of Lynx's heart. The scent of Shadow's pack was still pungent on the blue-gray and onyx masked female...she did not expect welcome...but perhaps she would be able to avoid a fight. Surprise that. She did not want to fight. She had spent her whole life not only in the creation of a new fighting technique, but also the near mastery of it. Her whole pack could be summed up with that word...fight. But that was not the scariest thing in the females heart...the truth was....she did not want, no no, did not feel the push, the fire, to do anything. Hmff. 

The strangers and a few of her former pack were gathered at the peak. Not that far now, and they would be able to clearly see her by now. This would be interesting.....please please let it be interesting. 

Yuki
Female / 6 months / Loner-Pup
Mentions: Jasper

The dirty white puppy balled up and tucked her tail between her legs, her body shivering in fear as the strange wolf lifted the little one up. She felt her energy drop and her body slightly relax as she was not on her paws, struggling to stand, anymore at the moment. Yuki whimpered when she was set down and given a little nudge towards the carcass of a dead rabbit. Her ears flicked and she lay down at the food, tail between her legs and her crystal blue eyes watching the older wolf as she began to gnaw on the rabbit.

Jasper
Male / 3 / Unranked-Warrior
Mentions: Yuki, Lynx Location: Shadow camp

Jasper's ears flickered and he rose to his paws as something moved towards the mountain, A flash of black highlighted with silver, "Lynx..." It was quiet and unheard by the other. She was bleeding from claw marks on her flank but he made no move to intercept and help. The female looked... empty... and Jasper wanted to part in talking to his former pack mate. That fae was a talented fighter that's for sure, and his head shook slightly. Slowly rolling back onto his haunches as she disappeared on the mountainside. His gaze then turned to little Yuki, starved and dirt, poor thing. She was watching him as she ate, probably thinking he'd attack her or something, she appeared to only be a few months old, maybe older since she wasn't filled out from the lack of food and proper exercise. He sighed softly, using a back paw to scratch at a persistent itch behind his ear.
The male's head turned to look behind them, a soft growl emanating from his throat as something lurked in the shadows. His lips curled over his teeth in warning, and the thing backed off for now. The fur along his spine rose dramatically, adding to the sheer size of the male. He was huge enough already! Multiple scars littered his pelt, hinting at the fact this male would be a formidable foe, especially with him protecting young Yuki, he wouldn't loose this pup. He'd been stationed in camp since he could fight enough to watch the pups, and he was fine with it! If he was in the battle he would've switched to help the other pack anyway. Leaves crunched under unseen paws as the creature lurked, hoping to catch the buff male off guard. But it wouldn't, ever, he was focused on a task and he'd stick to it!

Tyrael
Male / 2 / Loner
Mentions: Hunting Party Location: w/ Dakota and others

Tyrael's head lifted at the promise of a hunt, being able to sink his teeth into something large. He bounced to his paws and trotted happily over to Dakota. Tail raised and swinging, though it wasn't in a dominating manner, his tongue lolling out of his mouth. "I'll help!!" Ty announced to the lead hunter, his whole body radiating with happiness. Though strangely, no one had really paid him any mind, nor his strange coat. Which he gladly appreciated! The male misplaced a paw and nearly went crashing down the mountain if it wasn't for his quick reflexes, he watched the loose rocks he had stepped on go rolling down the side and shudder. That could've been me! Must watch my footfalls more carefully.. He told himself sternly, before his ears turned towards everyone else. -so short-

Yuki
Female / 6 months / Loner-Pup
Mentions: Jasper

Yuki swallowed when she seen the male wolf's lips curl up into a snarl. Dirty, white ears pinned to the back of the puppy's skull when she heard leaves crunching in the forest, the male seeming to become larger in size. Yuki's body started shivering in ear and she quietly whimpered, crystal blue eyes glancing back and forth in case something leaped from the darkness and grabbed her.

Her mind flashed back in time and she seen strong, white fangs ran through her mind and Yuki flinched. Her sibling hadn't been lying, the Alpha had been planning to kill her. After all, Yuki's parents were dead so there wasn't anyone to protect the young pup. Yuki was tiny for her age, her body right now made her seem even younger. She sure couldn't fend for herself, although she'd been taught. Well, sort of...

Jasper
Male / 3 / Loner-Warrior
Mentions: Yuki, Hazel, Her last pup Location:

Jasper repeatedly heard the paw steps and felt something watching them. He moved to stand over Yuki as he glanced around. A flash of black and brown and he knew exactly who it was. The female lifted her tail in a dominant manner, despite the fact he was a warrior. The brute didn't want confrontation so he lowered himself in a submissive posture though kept eyes locked on every movement she made. "Hazel.. Good to see your OK." Though the single pup in her maw proved otherwise. The large male froze, eyes widening, "Are they....?" He didn't dare finish the sentence.

He used a paw to further hide Yuki in case the female tried to attack. "We mean no harm Hazel, simply feeding the pup the others starved for no reason." He mumbled, finally down casting his eyes, he'd allow her, in her rage-filled state, to be the more dominant of the two. He felt the pup below him shaking and flinching, though said nothing to her. Instead making sure the other wolf couldn't get at her. He felt the need to protect this little pup, it tugged at all his heart strings as he looked over her form. It was obvious Jasper wasn't a true Shadow pack member, they had taken him from his pack as a truce. The largest of all the males, would be a great warrior. He snorted at the thought, his pack hadn't even tried to question it, saving their own tails over the alpha's first born son.
-short-

Kova | Male | 4 Years | Unranked

Kova lowered his head to the ground, mourning the passing of his leader. He had not gotten close to that still form for fear it would lash out at the world even in death. With everything the dark alpha had done to others of his own kind  it was hard to remember that he was just a wolf, not an angel, not a devil, just a wolf. He had nieces and nephews, a sister who had been devoted to him, perhaps even loved him.  He had not been a kind wolf, or even a good wolf...but he had certainly had not been an evil one. He had not eaten the corpses of his foes, had not killed his sister's pups, ...he had kept the pack well fed despite the mountainous terrain they lived in and the turmoil the land had gone through. Shaking as if it was a pup with night terrors....Shadow's pack had survived, almost completely intact. Alive. Shadow had not been a good wolf...but he had been a good alpha....if only to those he thought worthy of his leadership. 

Body still close to the ground Kova lifted his muzzle into the air, a mournful moan echoing throughout the mountain tops loud and clear. It spoke of leadership gone, along with safety and direction. It spoke of loss, and being lost. 

Who would he follow now?

Lifting his body from the ground Kova winced at the scratches he had taken from the female wolf who had been attacked by his own, and not in only a physical way. The female who had originally been with the alpha female. Mottled browns and bright yellow eyes. She had fought as if he had been the devil. The long scratches along his front scruff and on his muzzle, still weeping blood spoke of the anger she had fought with. She probably thought all males were devils, after Kova's pack mate had finished with her. He had done his best not to harm her, fool that he was, the attack on her had shaken Kova's rock solid loyalty in Shadow. For a second the russet and white wolf had thought that his leader had orderd his pack member to attack her in such a way. If he had that had been one of the worse things the dark wolf had done in his life. If he had not....pray be that the wolf who had forced the strange female be far from here, whoever he had been. Kova no longer had an alpha to follow....or hold him back from following his own will. He was still a hunter at heart. 

I need to make up for that wrong

The thought was lodged in the male wolf's mind. He would make up for what his pack mate had done. Nose to the ground the male found the scent of the female he had fought with, and pointed his steps toward the mountaintop. 

@Everyone or Anyone

Yuki
Female / 6 months / Loner-Pup
Mentions: Jasper, Hazel, Newborn Pup

Yuki had just begun to relax when all of a sudden her tiny body froze in fear, her crystal eyes widening in surprise as a female wolf burst out of nowhere with a newborn puppy in her jaws. Yuki's fur stood on the end, causing her dirty, white pelt to seem fluffy and soft. Her heart beat as fast as ever as she attempted to calm down, the male above her - the wolf who seemed to know her - also seemed to know the stranger wolf.

"Who are these wolves?" Yuki wondered as her body trembled with exhaustion and shock.
