The Koti Den - Part 1

"Thank you Sharon." North said. He gave a friendly wink and smile towards her, then closed his eyes and rested his head. He was going to sleep until the pain full went away. It should be soon now that the Celete healed him properly.

Aaka woke up from dream land started by a sudden voice from her side. She jumped up with a start. She had only heard the wolf ask what happened to her in a kindly tone, so she answered,
"I hurt myself. What's it to you?"
She felt bad for acting this way, so she lay back down, noticing the hare for the first time. She eyed it.
"Is it for me?" She asked wearily.

Aaka calmed down, being reassured that he was not meaning to hurt her, and began to eat the hare thankfully. When she was done she replied slowly.
"I fell, slid into another wolf, and hit my head. It doesn't hurt, anymore at least."
Then she remembered and added hastily, "Oh, And I'm Aaka, you are?"
She felt a quite a bit more calm, and she licked her muzzled with her tongue, cleaning any blood or mean stuck to it.

North was finding it difficult to try and sleep. His pain was mostly gone, but for some reason, still bothered him. His eyes watched Macy move around. The male wanted to talk to her, but had little energy to get up and say something. So, he lied there helpless and lifeless.

North smiled as the white female approached him. "Just getting over this small injury here." He said. Talking to her was taking the little pain and attention away from his cut. That was all he cared about. Plus he enjoyed talking to Macy.

North managed to laugh a little, but it wasn't that funny to him. Yes, she did. She always does a great job with healing and such." The male said. North would never climb another rock again. Now, he had a reminder to stay to that promise.

North was sad she was leaving. He thought he was in a okay mood. The male sighed."See ya". The male closed his eyes again and tried to sleep for real this time.

Aaka walk slowly into the pack, no longer as hungry has before. She walked towards two wolves talking together, one of whom was considerably larger than the other. She guessed the larger one was the leader, so she crept up to the wolf, flattening her ears to her head and putting her tail between her legs to show she meant no harm.
"Hello.." She said quietly, " I'm Aaka, I like your pack." She swallowed, what else did she say?
"Can I become a member?"

Ruffian watched the alphess approach the alpha and they started talking. She flicked her ears back and continued to drink the water from the small river. She frowned at her reflection as she remembered the two renegades the alphas had driven away. She had wanted to kill them, just to be rid of them but they hadn't given her the time to. They had chased them off and she didn't care to chase them. Their meat was probably spoiled anyway, like her own....
She walked back around the shady trees surrounding the baren field where the den was, joined into the mountain side. She dug a small circle with her paws in the snow and circled in it several times before settling down. She curled into a ball and watched all the conversing wolves, almost with envy. She curled her head around and snuggled her nose in her tail, the rope gently digging into her neck. She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't. There were to many wolves here. It made her body sore, in a way the celestes could not help it. She stood stiffly and walked away to a quieter spot. She never felt safe anymore, she just wanted quiet. She wanted o sleep. And forget. But that is impossible.

Aaka noticed his acknowledgment, and waited quietly for a reply. Then It dawned on her. She was already in the pack. She wagged her tail, slowly, and ran off, feeling as happy as if she had been given a lead rank herself.
