Fang led them to the cave and he looked around, he turned his gaze to Alaska and gave a nod. The wolf turned and scurried deeper into the cave after something. Zelda poked her head out and squeaked in excitement at the sight of Hail, she rushed out and sniffed him "well aren't you a little darling!" Fang gave a gentle growl and the Pup Watcher backed off slightly. Alaska returned and dropped a beaver from her jaws. Fang nodded "being a nomad is not an easy task. There is a storm coming and being stuck in it could hurt the pup. If you would like you may stay here until it passes over." He seemed stiff before turning and walking deeper into the cave. Malakai watched the alpha go and he gave a huff, his left eye glaring blindly "if you ask me we should have killed the she-wolf and taken the pup to become a warrior." He turned and padded away.

Hail backed away at the sight of Zelda. Spirit growled, her hackles raised. "As if I'd let you." She snarled. "If that's all you wanted, then i refuse. Hail and i have our own cave at the moment. And if you hadnt forced me all this way, we could be back there by now."

Fang turned his gaze and then he slowly turned around. His gaze turned to Malakai "alright Malakai since our guest doesn't seem to be very grateful of our generous offer, lead her away from out territory. I'm sure you will be sure to lead her away." His eyes narrowed in warning and Malakai nodded before he walked past the nomads "hadn't it been for these soft hearts I would have eaten some pup for dinner, much better then stringy beaver."

Hail squeaked and his eyes widened. Spirit nuzzled him gently. "Dont worry. Ill protect you." She glowered at the other wolf. She picked Hail up and headed for her own cave. She didnt need the other she-wolf to lead them out. Spirit would happily be gone by morning. Or by the end of the storm.

Malakai led her out of the packs cave then snapped his jaws "if you aren't gone in time I'm coming for a fight." He turned and headed back into the cave, shaking his fur. Fang thought for a moment before he stretched out "we need to be prepared, Alaska says this storm is a nasty one."

"Believe me i wont be sticking around." Spirit snapped. "Your attitude takes up enough space as it is." She trotted off, glad to finally be away from them all. Once back at their cave, she placed Hail at he very back. She could smell the snow storm in the air. All the animals were hunkering down...

Fang blinked as he sighed "I will be back." he stood up and walked out of the cave, a shiver going down his spine as a few drops of snow landed on his jet black fur. He glared at the sky then continued on his way.

Spirit nuzzled Hail in an attempt to keep him warm. He was snuggled against her fur, off the cave floor to keep it from sucking the heat out of him. The site view wildly outside and her ears flattened against her head. Their cave had cracks and occasionally a breeze would ruffle her fur. She glared at the outside. She didn't date go to sleep and did her best to keep Hail awake as well.

Fang lifted his head as he caught a faint scent, he followed it, ignoring the cold as much as he could. When he reached the cave he looked inside with curiosity and he blinked in surprise. He rolled his eyes and walked over "you look rather cold." he said, his ice blue eyes as cold as the weather outside.

"We're fine." Spirit did her best to sound sure of herself, but in reality Hail was freezing. The little pup snuggled into her fur for warmth, but it wasn't much good. She was just as freezing. This was as far north as either of them have gone. "What are you doing here?"

Fang tilted his head slightly then he padded over, he sat down next to them, his thick coat was much more used to these conditions "I was looking for any prey still out. My pack has to eat." He looked at the two with ice cold eyes with a fire behind them.

Spirit was about to tell him not to come any closer, but Hail stirred. He did a bit of wiggling and managed to trasfer himself to on top of Fang, all without opening hisbeyes. His muzzle nuzzled into the warmer fur. Spirit looked away, irritated that she coukdnt do more for the pup. "You didn't get enough prey before?"

Fang looked to the entrance of the cave "the harsher the storm the more likely it is my clan will begin to starve after it. It won't be long before Alaska has to take the hunters out to a hunt which could last weeks." His ears bent back in thought and he looked at Spirit "you seem to know more about packs then the normal nomad."

"What makes you say that?" Spirit's ears flicked. "Most packs run the same. Collide with one or two and you've pretty much got the pattern down." She rested her head on her paws. Although packs working together could take down bigger game, they kind of had to with the number of mouths they needed to feed.

Fang took a moment to think before he calmly blinked "every pack is different because every pack has laws." He looked to Hail and then to Spirit before returning his eyes to the cave entrance with an icy gaze.

"Their laws may differ, but the basic makeup is the same." Spirit shook her head. "There's always a leader of some sort and a second-in-command. There are hunters and warriors, or all wolves do both."

Fang blinked slowly "we have the alpha. If he or she has a mate then the mate is the other alpha. Next comes the beta, then the Sentinels. We have elders, scouts, hunters, warriors, pup watchers, omegas. All of the sorts. " He sighed, his own pack was very difficult to feed.

"That's quite a pecking order." Spirit raised an eyebrow. "Do you have a mate?" She wondered if she was just trying to make conversation or if the answer mattered to her. Within her pack, there were two alphas and two betas, both amted pairs. But after that it was more or less a free-for-all. Although omegas existed in other packs, within hers they weren't stuck where they were. If they were strong enough, they could rise. But it would be difficult getting an older wolf to teach you.

Fang gave a shake of his head "although rare, I don't. It's usually recommended for the alpha to get one but I see no point in having a mate that I won't be sure can run my pack." He closed his eyes for a long pause, knowing very well that other wolves could find him weak without a mate.

"What, the other she-wolves not meet your standards?" Spirit raised an eyebrow. Although it was good of him to not take just any wolf as his mate. Most took high level females to better their standing in the pack. But just because a she-wolf was born to high level parents doesn't mean she'll be the same or better. Most, in fact, were worse having been trained from a young age that they were better than the rest. It was a toxic mindset to be in.

Fang shook his head "all of the females in my pack are amazing and have great skills. None of them, though, are capable of making decisions in the good of the pack. She has to not only be smart she has to be strong-willed. Being an alpha is something that lasts for life if you are a good one. If I die it will be up to her to run the pack and therefore she can't just be good, she has to be great."

"Hate to say it, but those are standards." Spirit teased. "They're expectations the wolf needs to meet. Although they are acceptable ones, you shouldn't deny what they are." The pup lying on top of Fang shifted and mumbled something. Spirit shook her head. How Hail had managed to fall asleep with the noise outside, she had no idea.

(what does it mean 0-0 )
Fang looked at Hail and the ice in his eyes seemed to melt with warmth. He had a very soft spot for pups and it was difficult to keep from offering the two a spot in the pack but he knew that the she-wolf would refuse so he held his tongue.

(Ah. It changed. Hawk said on the Twi Discussion thread that it had to do with the number of posts. Although not sure where the dank came from)
"Do you have many pups in your pack?" Spirit inquired curiously. He seemed to really like them. And Hail found him comfortable enough to sleep on. Or maybe he just wasn't being very picky..

(interesting)
Fang shook his head "no not at the moment, we're actually running very low on pack members at the moment and it's not something that sits well with me." He closed his eyes and let out a gentle sigh. Being the alpha was a big responsibility and it was something he had to worry about.

(Yup. For a while I was an Independent Warrior :3 Happy Valentines day btw xD)
"I see." Spirit replied, slightly amused. "I take it the one who frightened Hail was one of your 'pup watchers' who's been running on empty?" The she-wolf had been excited to see any youngling it appeared.

(you too!)
Fang nodded solemnly "yes, that was Zelda. She's a great wolf and she would do anything for our pups. She was rather excited to see Hail but we haven't had pups in a while."

"Shame." Spirit shrugged. "Maybe if your buddy wasn't so quick to make threats, you'd have more willing joiners since it appears your she-wolves aren't very interested in the current male members."

(omg I get paid tomorrow so same!!)
Fang let out a gentle chuckle "Malakai is a fine member and many she-wolves would love to be his mate. He is a loyal wolf and he protects the pack. He does come off a bit strong but he is a good member and I know it won't be long before he finds a mate."

(Noice xD)
"If anyone can deal with his attitude, then by all means." Spirit rolled her eyes. "Do your she-wolves gossip often about who they want as their mate?" She raised an eyebrow. She couldn't imagine one staring at him dreamily as he brought a pup in after murdering its company.
