Ankyra Sound Let mercy come and wash away what I've done

*barges in*

Maude hated waking up early, but she pulled herself from the warmth of her den into the slight chill of morning — oh shit winter was coming — to perform her duties as Beta/First Mate. She trotted to the borders, but upon smelling Kjalarr she followed the Alpha's trail immediately, her mind wandering to how she could annoy him this time (and hoping that their conversation didn't turn awkward again).

His trail led her to the sea shore, and her mischievous smirk fell into a frown as Kjalarr's form was disappointingly accompanied by another. Another female that is. For a moment Maude scowled, her claws digging into the ground. How dare another woman talk to him! Ok, that was a stupid thought. He was Alpha, it was his job to check up on the pack members. Caiaphas was a woman, too. But still!

She burst into their pleasant conversation, crowing loudly and settling herself next to Kjalarr, her welcoming smile juxtaposed with a gaze that burned holes into the one eyed and bloodied (there was a story behind that, wasn't there) woman and said silently: mine. Ahoy 'n g'mornin'!
