Well, this is sucktastic, Maja thought. First, she lost Haven, and now Aduin? She was just waiting to lose herself, now. She traveled very far from that stupid pack just for a little (she hoped). That Beta wolf wanted her to stay near the pack, but that seemed bad, how would she get food if she had to stay in one spot? She had left to vent out all her anger, but she had a lot left.
She walked through the pretty place, distracting herself from her problems with the view. The air was calm, unaware of her troubles. Owl would've loved this place, and honestly, Maja loved it too. The soft colours of the area was somewhat calming as she tread through the place. The tranquil forest was as if it were in a silent sleep.
It was extremely white out today, for some reason more white than the previous. Perhaps it was simply due to the fact that Aaron had yet to see anything other than the snow and white aspens as he made his way through. There were no critters, no wolves, nothing. His clear blue eyes scanned the territory for a moment before he lowered his head to sniff at the earth, his tail flicking back and forth behind him. When he rose his head, he squinted to see tracks- wolf tracks. Spirits raising, the man picked his walk up to a trot and he sniffed at the tracks as he followed them. Female, he decided, fresh. With much interest, Aaron followed them further, hoping to find the woman they belonged to.
Lost in her troubles and her thoughts, Maja didn't notice the scent until it was very close. She instinctively went on guard, her muscles tensing. She looked around and saw the wolf. She had to admit he was cute, but that wasn't important. He could attack her, so she had to be careful.
She should've said something like, 'what do you want?' or 'go away', but unlike herself, she began with a causal "Hey."
She judged inspected the wolf out of habit. A small part of her was hoping this was a pack wolf, a pack she could join. 'No, remember Aduin', she told herself off. 'But he left you', it argued. 'I do want to, though', she thought guiltily.
There she was- Aaron paused and looked up with interest. He found the caramel coated female not too far off, and he straightened himself to look her over. He came a few steps closer, standing straight and silent for a moment as he observed. She was good looking and confident(it seemed), perhaps she would be an asset.
"Greetings," he hummed, his tail flicking behind him as he watched her. "May I ask your name?" he requested, eyeing her with a sky-blue gaze. His voice implied he was somehow in charge, even though this was technically not yet this.
He wasn't part of a pack, no scent of others. Yet, his voice suggested that he was a leader. She still held some hope. "I'm Maja," she greeted, suddenly conscience of how she looked. That was honestly never a problem for her, beauty didn't keep her alive, so it wasn't top priority, especially since she was a loner now. She brushed off the feeling and returned her focus back to the wolf.
"And you?", she asked curiously.
"Maja," the male tested, watching her with interest. "I am Aaron, it is a pleasure." Dipping his head slightly, the pale man then lifted it and returned his gaze to her face, looking the woman up and down for a moment. His instincts informed him that he should probably stop recruiting females to the pack, as he already had 3 and no males for them to mate with. While the idea of having all the women to himself was quite arousing, he assumed that no self-respecting woman would be okay with so many others to share with, and he returned his focus to the one in front of him.
"Where are you headed?" he asked, his tail waving behind him as he thought. Perhaps one more would do fine for now, she was quite handsome in her features.
Aaron, it was. It sort of sounded like Aduin, in which Maja pushed her mind away from that thought. Where she was heading? Truthfully, anywhere away from that stupid pack. "I'm looking for a pack," she said, half lying. She should've stayed near Aduin, protected him, but she felt betrayed by him. And she was free to do whatever she wanted.
Ears perked, Aaron watched her curiously for a moment. "Coincidentally," he began, "I am beginning my own. Dare I ask if you are interested in joining me?" he asked, an eyebrow raising as he looked her over with interest. She seemed well enough- surely she would be a contributing member to his soon-to-be pack. Now he only needed her answer, and he hoped it would be a yes.
So far he had gathered the delicate Claudia and her caretaker, as well as the beautiful Amara. Only females, sure, but perhaps Maja would be a woman of much use to the pack.
Maja made a split-second decision. "Sure," she murmured. She glanced back towards him. The wolves who were the first ones in the pack, were usually the most trusted. Maja was a wolf of loyalty, if it didn't count her family (it wasn't her fault anyway). So this would be a good choice, she hoped. Her ears twitched as she thought more about it. It was too late to go back anyway, even though she didn't want to leave.
The man's ears perked, and his tail wagged happily at her response. "Good," he smiled, his eyes glinting. "You will be joining me along with Claudia and her caretaker Madeline," he informed her, watching her face curiously. What would she think of them when she met them? He was intrigued with expresses, and thoroughly enjoyed viewing the reactions of others- it made him far more observant to the world around him.
"Come," he told her, beckoning with his tail as he turned. "I can show you the territory," he set off, assuming she was following behind him.

Maja followed Aaron towards what would be her future, permanently, she hoped. And her problems didn't seem so bad anymore.
