Fall Den

Raffiel led the party of wolves back into the den clearing, his heart soaring at simply the thought of everyone's reaction to Lunar's homecoming, and the arrival of new packmates. "Lunar's back! And she brought friends!" He announced as he happily jumped into the clearing.

Khora lurched from where she had been resting beside Erebus in the den, her eyes opening in shock. She looked at the also confused brute beside her, her tail wagging behind her. "Did I just hear that right?" Khora grinned, barely able to keep herself down. "I think you did. Lunar has returned." And so has Raffiel... Bo-Bo you've failed. Erebus thought darkly, rising to his feet to greet the returned wolf. Khora followed quickly, walking a slight bit faster then the male as she passed him in not a moment or two.

Stella walked into the territory last one entering. She saw a wolf tackle Lunar and wondered if she had that with her family once or if her family had that with her. Stella simply watched as everyone rushed back to greet Lunar and just hoped she wasn't noticed.

'Should I lie to Erebus...? Or should I tell him the truth? That I couldn't do it...' Bo-Bo pondered as he walked on and Erebus grew nearer. 'Oh, what should I do?' His face twisted in confusion.

"I'm sorry, Erebus... I..." Bo-Bo looked up into Erebus's "I can't lie to you. I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill him. I just... Do what you will to me for my failure." he said, his voice wavering. He lowered himself to the ground, lay his ears flat back on his head, and leaned his head sideways into the dirt in a submissive position that exposed his neck.

Stella heard something going on behind her but she payed no mind to it. She didn't want to be the one who tattles about something she did not need that. She simply remained in her position and sat down figured an unmoving target would be not as easy to spot and not as noticable.

Bo-Bo sighed, rolling onto his back and simply staring at the trees and sky above him.

Stella watched as Lunar was suddenly more relaxed and happy to be in her home. "I wish I could do that." Stella thought "But you can." She thought again. Stella shook her head in confusion and her normal self was back instead of thinking silly things like that. She knew a weak pup like herself couldn't afford to think that way and hope all others like herself realized it too.

"You know... I really missed you. A lot. I felt terrible when I realized you were gone." He sighed in her fur, closing his eyes. It didn't strike the male as weird at all to be so open about how he felt about Lunar. After all, everyone but the new guys knew how close they were. There was no point in hiding it, at least to him.

Stella watched as she saw Lunar walk up to the wolf that greeted them earlier and nuzzle up to him. She wanted to be back in the forest even though she would probably die, but she couldn't turn back now she sighed and put her head over her paws.

Ayalilla padded into the clearing, her pups following her obediently for once. "OH! Lunar! You're back! And with friends! I'm glad you're okay, everybody was rather worried."

Ares looked around, he had been wandering for awhile and didn't know where he had ended up. Walking down a trail leading through the trees, he saw a clearing and looked at the sight, other wolves were gathering around and talking, he was hesitant to move forward and waited a bit before moving, he stepped on a small stick and it snapped in two.

Walking as silently as leaves allowed, Tiern crept though the fallen debris her eyes intent on her prey, the doe that had wandered very far from her herd and after being separated, it had slowly come to this forest.
Tiern and the doe had heard the movement of others. To Tiern, it meant nothing, but the doe was alert in the direction opposite Tiern, and so, Tiern jumped for the kill, not caring how much noise she made or where she was as this was unfamiliar ground.

(I am starting to think that calling attention to yourself by snapping a twig, and then joining the pack is a Golden Bloods tradition.)

( XD I suppose it is, starting with Khora way back when. XD )

Erebus's ears twitched at the sound of something snapping, and a frightened doe's cry for help. "Someone's here. Lunar did you have more friend's that didn't keep up?" He asked in his deep voice. Blue eyes skimmed the perimeter of the den clearing, he quickly spotted Ares.
