Back in Reality

Ayana smiled on the inside. The wolf did not tell her to leave immediately, which Ayana understood as a good sign. However, Ayana's words did not seem to please the female a lot, although she did seem interesting. "Other lone wolves, of whom I unfortunately do not remember the name. But a big pack like yours must be rather popular, right?", Ayana said, with a little more strength in her voice. She was not as nervous anymore, her mood was better now. She smiled at the female and signalled that she was still waiting for an answer.

It was tough to talk to an Alpha, but Ayana tried her best. She wanted to tell the female everything about her hunts, how she and a few others had killed a massive deer, how she played the role of a counselor several times and how she took care of her friend's puppy when it was in need of rescue. Or when she saved a pack member from a serious desease. Calm down, superwoman. Don't make yourself seem too interesting, you don't want her to be suspicious for no reason, do you? Just calm down for goodness' sake. Seriously, if you fail this, you do not deserve anything anymore. No family, no friends, no feelings. So you better concentrate and make her want to be part of their pack. Her mind was right. She needed this. Being a lone wolf was no option for her, she hated being lonely althogh the voices in her mind never wanted her to find friends. Being a loner as a young girl was enough time spent alone; she really wanted to live in a pack. And for now, Redhawk Caledra should be her new home, Ayana hoped.

She looked at the female. "I understand that your pack is very big and it is hard to take care of such a huge pack, but this could be the beginning of something big. We would both profit from it.", she said, hoping the female would open up to her.
