Northstar Vale And when the night falls

feel free to skip genie :)

Genie had no qualms with Chusi taking the helm. Well, okay, she had a little bit of a problem with it. Rannoch had been beyond kind to her with his gentle words and eternal patience and although Chusi was, dare she say, her best friend and probably a capable leader, there was a part of her that disliked the idea of her taking the reins. After all, Chusi had never really been a member of the Vale, and now she was just barging in and taking the role of Alpha? But, then again, what choice did they have? Genie was sure packs had ursurpers all the time. But Chusi wasn't an ursurper..right?

Besides, Genie wanted Chusi here. She didn't want her friend to go. So, why was she feeling such contradictory emotions?

Her warring thoughts dissolved away into the back of her mind when a stranger's call rang through the air. Quickly, the chocolate yearling made her way towards the borders. There was another scent there, mixed with that of the unknown wolf and her heart skipped a beat. Internally, Genie chastised herself - no, stop it. And though she was quick to push thoughts aside, the heart does not lie and try hard as she did, she could not ignore the incessant thumping within her chest. 

Stupid. Nevermind. Chusi's familiar voice drifted through the air as Genie wandered closer. She leaned close to lick her friend's cheek affectionately if allowed, before turning her attention on the stranger. A male. Not really...her type. Still, he could be useful and that was all that really mattered. Genie tilted her head, countenance impassive as her amber eyes scanned the man quietly.
