Prince Of The Pack

River: whimpers in her sleep

River: wakes up really scared until she realizes what had happened was just a dream

Bone Are you all right?

River: nods and looks down, just a dream, her blue eyes were filled with sadness

Bone Well 'just a dream' has you worked up, it seems. He hears snarls and looks outside. Siren jumped over Sira to attack a wolf. I must see what's going on. He gets up, but more easily this time, and walks over. He snarls and both wolves stop to look at him. What is going on here?!

Sira Bone, you should be-

Bone Answer the question.

Sira He snarled at me and Siren jumped in front of me.

Siren nods, keeping his eyes on the other wolf.

The wolf straightens. I didn't plan on attacking. She just wouldn't tell me where your Alpha is. I have some news for him.

Bone If you have something to say, your Alpha can say it instead, Fenix Wolf.

The wolf chuckles. You think I'm one of them? No, no. I am from the South. He frowns. And we have no Alpha. He was killed. I am the Beta.

river: lays her head on her paws, her side was hurting worse

Bone And for what purpose are you here?

The wolf We know that you are a large pack that has lost many but are still strong, but with our Alpha dead, we have nowhere to go. No one to lead us. We seek a leader for none of us believe we are capable. Also, the wolves that killed our Alpha are coming to kill you off. We seek revenge as well and would gladly aid you in your fight. He bows his head. And your Alpha knows... That we've always owed him for saving us. We'd be honored to serve alongside Griphyn and his pack.

Bone Griphyn is dead. Someone murdered him.

The wolf stands straight. I never heard that. I am sorry for your loss. What about his pups? Who took over?

Bone Well Lyanori has, but his siblings are now dead. Terelle killed the other two.

The wolf stares. I haven't heard about wolves killing family since that young wolf, Bone I believe his name was, killed his entire family and pack. A shame, really. That a wolf would do that to his own blood. Wasn't he next in line for Alpha position in that pack as well? The Shadow Hunters is what they were called, no?

Bone pauses before he speaks again. He was next for Alpha position, correct. The pack wasn't called Shadow Hunters, though.

The wolf tilts his head. Then what was it?

Bone Blood Bound. He turns toward the den. Lyanori is in the den. I will show you the way. Walks in, the wolf following behind him.

River: is really tired, she lays down

The wolf looks at Bone. You look familiar.

Bone You're probably thinking of another wolf.

River: licks her side

The wolf shakes his head. No. I know you from somewhere.

Mat: had snuck in the den, he growls at river, your still alive
River: shrinks away

Bone turns and stands over River. He snarls. You have been banned from pack premises. Leave or I'll be forced to attack. And I do have two entire packs that can help if I need it.

Mat: growls at him and turns and runs
River: is trembling in fear now

Bone looks at her. You shouldn't fear your own pup.

River: you have seen what he can do to me bone!

Bone Then let me protect you.

River: why would you even want to?

Bone What's that supposed to mean? You think I don't care?

River: no its not that........

Bone Then what?

River: its nothing.....

Bone Hmph.

The wolf sighs. Well your Alpha appears asleep. If it is fine, I will stay here until he wakes.

Bone nods. You may... Your name?

The wolf Soulless.

Bone looks at the wolf. Soul... less... Wasn't he...

Soulless sighs. Bone's brother?... Yes. He thought I was dead, but a Healer came along and helped me. He left to come here afterwards. I believe his name was Zeph.

Bone Zeph... He saved your life...

Soulless Yes...

Bone I am... I am Bone.

Soulless steps back. B-Bone?

Bone I won't hurt you. Please, believe me. What I did... Something else took over. It wasn't me.

Soulless You were next in line for Alpha... What more did you want?

Bone You must listen to me...

Soulless My mate took the pups to you... You killed them, didn't you?

Bone No, they're fine.

Soulless stares at him, disbelief reflecting in his eyes.

River: stands, would you like to see them?
