Chimera Fields Straight Out the Gate

Arverk was an explorer, a wanderer at heart, so it came to a surprise to himself that he had managed to stay put in the Spine for so long. It was a good thing, for it meant he was slowly admitting to himself that Ouroboros Spine was his new home, and his loyalty, his allegiances would always remain with Tonravik and Iqniq and all those who were of the Spine, of Tartok. But that didn't mean his lust for traveling would be suppressed, no, he would go every once in a while to explore the surrounding lands but he would always quickly return home, especially since Tonravik was growing even more pregnant with each passing day.

The lands of the Spine needed to be extra well defended with the pups coming, and Arverk wasn't going to be labeled as a disloyal and fickle wolf so fast after his acceptance into the pack. That day, the swarthy whale opted to leave the packlands for a bit and go for a bit of exploring, if only to check out the surrounding territories. There could be adventure awaiting for him too, or predators to be chased off.

But Arverk hadn't been expecting the familiar form and scent of his packmate and Beta Female, she didn't seem the type to leave the Spine. Well, he was wrong he supposed. The swarthy whale let out a soft chuff and approached in a posture befitting his rank, aiming to lick her chin submissively if she allowed it.
