Aspen and Charley had been out on their own for a couple days now, she missed the old pack but at the same time she really didnt. The fact that Reek had given them an ultimatem Aspen didnt think was at all fair. But hey what did she know right.
Aspen trailed in amongst the trees that once belonged to the ex mate of Reek. The wolf scent here was stale except for hers. Even Charleys was getting old as he had gone out on a mission to find wolves to follow them to their new home.
Aspen wondered if she could attract any attention from the lones around here if any. She tipped her head up and let out a howl calling for any in the area perhaps looking for a new home then sat atop the ridge and waited for any potential recruits to come their way.
She was looking for a wolf that showed some worth to their pack and that she and charley would learn to trust and they would become a key member of their new pack. She smiled at the thought, finally she was going to have her own pack, her mate by her side. Like king and queen.
Any lones in the area welcome but
@Ayla post first since this thread was for her.
The femme had simply wandered.
Once she had achieved the escape she had longed for since a child, she had not know quite what to do with herself. She was free, no longer surrounded by walls, but with the absence of barriers there was simply a freedom so unimaginable she had no idea what to do next. She could hunt, but only the small thing-squirrels, voles, raccons. And there had never been any need to hunt to survive, for the meat that appeared daily in her simple, small home was more then enough to sustain her. Her paws were soft from many months of treading lightly on the same terrian, her body unmarked by scars.
Except one. Soon after her escape, the yellow tag in her ear had caught on a thicket. Frantic, she had tugged free with a brutal pull, resulting in both the tag and part of her ear leaving. Now it was shorter then it had been, but had healed well, which was good. Ayla was eager to be free like this, but she was at a great disadvantage. She had grown up with a small familiar pack in a wildlife sanctuary, though it was unknown to her, not all wolves acted like her disjointed family had. So when the howl rang out, Ayle discerened it to be a summoning.
She paused, unsure. Should she approach? Perhaps it would be wiser to wait here. But her paws led her onward, over the rock that cut and stabbed her soft paw pads, until the grey woman was in her sights. She approached nervously, stopping and starting again a few times until she was about a meter from the female. She simply starred a moment in awe at this free, thin, scrappy wolf. This one had never known a cage like she, had never had to make a frantic escape for freedom. After a short silence, Ayla simply squeaked a small "Hello"
Aspen wasn't waiting to long before a rather shy looking wolf had started approaching. She could see the wolf from the corner of her eye but the wolf was stopping and starting. Indicating a hint of nervousness. Aspen sorta hoped she came across authoratative but not like mean or scary. She rose from where she stood to greet the female, only then did she noticed the wolf was missing the tip of her left ear.
Curious, wonder how that happened. She thought to herself before assuming her authoritative "alpha" figure even though she wasn't actually an alpha yet. She was by default, and so she approached tail high and ears perked. "Hello," she said with a relatively straight face. She wasn't sure quite how to act right now. She didn't want to seem like the type of wolf that would take just anyone but also didnt wanna seem unapproachable. Ugh this was harder than i thought it would be. Oh well i'll figure it out. She mused while studying the wolf wondering what she would have to offer the soon to be pack.
Blue eyes blinked once as the other greeted her. She stood still oddly still, and a moment of silence stretched as her eyes tracked a bird across the vlue canvas of sky it flew through. Her gaze dropped quickly, as perhaps watching birds was rude. She wasn't quite sure of this, yet, but she would surely get the hang of it soon, surely. She tried a tiny smile, and said in the soft voice she always used "You called?"
It was simple, and she watched the other with her piercing eyes. She wondered what this woman wanted, and she was excited to hear it, as this was the first female she had met outside the walls.
Aspen watched as the fae appeared to get distracted by a bird for a few moments, which didn't really bother Aspen because the wolf's attention was quite quickly refocused back on her. Aspen didn't move to sit near the wolf she figured she would speak first and deal with being nice.
"Yeah my name is Aspen , my mate and I are looking for some followers to join us in our soon to be kingdom. We are looking for hard working wolves that serve some purpose to the rest of our pack. Wolves will have to work hard also to earn their place in the inner circle of the pack but once those ranks are reached you become a true member of the royal family," Aspen spoke proudly of the pack her mate and herself were striving to create. "Our wolves live like a royalty, they will always be fed, and taken care of if sick or injured, all that we ask in return is for loyalty and respect to us and the rest of the wolves," she finished nodding as if to reassure herself she had mentioned everything.
She hoped she wouldn't scare off this wolf who seemed, shy. That this wolf wouldn't totally reject the idea although she was aware this life was not for everyone although she didn't think that what Charley and herself were asking was too much. She waited in silence for the blue eyed fae to speak. Something, anything.
