The day was warm and bright. The suns rays seemed to reflect light across the slightly snowy, shiro mountains, giving it a glowing shine. The alphess, Khaza, padded forward and leapt onto a high rock about half way up the mountain. Though the mountain was the largest it wasn't steep until you got to its summit.
Khaza stood on the rock, overlooking the packlands. She threw back her head and howled. So far the pack had few members and they needed to be given ranks. Her call echoed, reaching out to the pack members and saying that the meeting will begin shortly. Khaza sat on the rock and waited.

Lupin's ears pricked, Khaza was calling. The meeting was to begin shortly. Lupin got up and began padding at full pelt, her bitten paw seeming non-existant now. She let her nose twitch at the scent of her Alphess, she kept running, her tail held high and her ears pinned back, the wind frizzing her black fur, and the sun beating down upon her silvery markings, making her completely visible to all the members in Asgina.
Skidding to a halt under the rock on which Khaza stood, Lupin sat down, her tail brought up to the front and began licking her paws.

Khaza smiled as she saw Lupin padding over. When Lupin reached Khaza stood up. "Welcome Lupin...shall we start?" Khaza said and padded higher up the rock till she was standing at the edge. "Since there is only the two of us in the pack so far, this meeting shall be short and sweet. This pack needs members who are loyal and trustworthy. In your acceptence Lupin you proved your worthyness. That is why i am going to start you off with a relatively high rank, because you have proven yourself you shall become the packs gamma." Khaza announced. "This means you are able to accept members and patrol the borders. Any trouble that comes up then you let me know." Khaza swished her tail a little as a warm breeze blew over her.

"Gamma? Thank you, alphess. I'll do my best." Lupin smiled, gratitude in her green eyes. She stood, her tail wagging. She was happy with this rank, it meant that she was able to, as Khaza said, patrol and accept wolves that needed a home, or wanted apart of the pack. The sun finally set on her feelings and worries with Dante and her bitten paw didn't seem to bother her anymore. She smiled to herself on that note.
Only two members? An Alphess and a Gamma? Arlight, so the pack needed a bit more meat on the bone, but it didn't really matter. Not too much at the moment.

Khaza smiled, glad that Lupin was happy with her rank. "Just be carefull...some wolves might want to join the pack to tear it apart. Any signs of danger from those wolves call for me..." Khaza said slightly sternly, not meaning it towards Lupin, just as a warning for all wolves who would decide to mess with the pack.

"I know, in my previous pack we had to be careful." She nodded, in a salute sort of way, her tail's wagging slower, she understood her alphess' stern voice. It was one of a worry that her pack might end up with some bugger who decided to tear the pack apart.
With Henji, it was the same, if Dante's parents had accepted a wolf, they were asked several questions annually because of the alphess' paranoia with her brother, who tore her previous pack apart...

Khaza nodded, paused, then shook her head a little. "lets move onto brighter subjects...how about a welcoming hunt for you?" Khaza asked. Since it was summer the elk herds were passing through the packlands at this time of year.

"Sounds pretty fun to me." Lupin replied. Food, finally.

"Settled then..." Khaza smiled, glad that Lupin seemed to be fitting in. "A hunt it is! il meet you at Koori lake." Khaza figured that Lupin should find her own way around if she was going to be accepting members and directing them towards the caves. "Koori lake is just past the pack caverns you will have no trouble finding it." Khaza turned and started to pad up the mountain side towards the peak. There was something she needed to do before starting the hunt.

"Alright, see ya there." Lupin replied making her way to wards the caverns and Koori Lake, after a hunt maybe a short exploring trip? Just to get to know the packlands well enough by the next night.

Khaza nodded and continued towards the peak While walking she seemed to fade away till there was nothing left. Khaza growled to herself. Her invisibility power she sometimes couldn't control. Khaza sighed. "Better try and change back..." Khaza flashed slightly and she appeared again. "Finally..." Sitting down on a highish ledge, Khaza started to search for the herd that should be on the move somewhere below.

Lupin sat by the lake, and stared at her reflection. It stared back with a grin on its maw. Her ears flickered as she moved to a lying posistion, her tail twitching a little. She was ready for this hunt, hungry, and ready to make a kill. No matter what it was, so long as it was a grass-eating animal. She smiled to herself as she remembered chasing deer for miles and miles, tiring them out before pouncing on them, sinking her teeth into their necks, oh the excitment would spark through her.
Hopefully this hunt would be just as interesting, her heart pounded in her ribcage with excitment.

Khaza saw the herd start to move through the trees and she skidded down a steep side of the mountain quickly. A few small rocks tumbled from the mountain side and shattered on the ground below. Khaza pushed off the edge with her back legs and leapt down onto the grouond with was a few metres below now. The herd seemed startled and started to run in the direction of the lake. It was all going according to plan. Khaza bolted after them and slipped into the trees for a while, dissapearing from sight. The deer started to slow and calm a little as they neared the lake, not seeing Lupin.
Khaza padded on the outskirts of the herd in the shadows, past the caverns, around the herd towards Lupin. Khaza laid down in the grass silently, about a metre away from the gamma. She turned to Lupin and nodded her head then turned and looked pack to the herd which were now grazing and drinking near the lake.

Lupin grinned as the herd came her way, she padded slowly and quietly around the ones which where near the lake and jumped up, landing on one, her claws digging into the side of the deer. She moved her head so that she could rip its neck open- it bucked, forcing her off, making her land on her back. She got up and growled before going for its neck again. The deer wheeled around in pain.

Khaza smiled, the thrill of the hunt consuming her. She licked her lips, looked like the deer that Lupin had picked was still feisty. Khaza turned around, seeing a doe straying from the herd. She bolted after it, driving it towards the lake and cutting it off from the herd. Khaza closed in for the kill. She leapt, fangs met with flesh, but not at the throat. The deer reared up on its hind legs in its defence and Khaza's attack missed the target. Instead she bit it on the flank and pulled down down, half bringing the doe to its knees, half topping it over.
Angered, it kicked out with its leg, narrowly missing Khaza's neck. Khaza snarled and leapt forward again, this time biting down into its side and clinging on with her claws. A few deep scratches from her claws raked down its side and the lump of hide that Khaza had her jaws around was starting to tear. The doe frantically started to twist and turn, trying to get the alphess off before she ran out of strength.
The flesh tore and Khaza fell from its back. Wildly, it leapt into the lake as a last resort to escape. Without a word Khaza dived in too, The deer was tiring and it begun to struggle. Khaza dived out of the water and leapt onto its back, pushing it under the water and making its burden heavier. To win Khaza would have to drown it then haul it back to the bank.
