Phoenix Maplewood Invasion

I'm not sure if Kiara was ever officially part of BDP since this is her first (and only) thread and she didn't have a rank, so I'll reach out to Starr and co. and see what we should assume re: that! This post order is sort of free for all now I guess, as long as everyone gets a chance to post!

Saena's grip on the youth's throat was iron, even though Kiara's body wrenched sickeningly against her teeth under the brutality of her pack mates. Most of them clamoured in to get some piece of the trespasser. To say she was proud of them for defending their home like this would be an understatement, but her eyes shone with it, a furious sort of pride that would forever define them from this moment onward.

The wolf's life eventually left her. When her head grew suddenly heavy and limp, the alpha spat out her neck and stepped back. Only then did she realize her grip was so tight that her fangs had pierced the skin in a few places. The wolf's stomach and flanks were torn apart as well. Vega lurked on the outskirts, no doubt as drunk on the scent of blood as the rest of them, and Saena appreciated her vigil. Had another arrived in this one's stead, it was Vega who would have spotted them.

Reek's voice cut through the haze and the alpha swung her head slowly toward him, spotting Scarlett and her young moving away in the process. Smell? All she could smell was the tang of blood and the sweet sap of their maple trees. But she had a gamekeeper's nose and blood was one of her favourite scents. It was Citali who identified it, having a nose for plants, and that was when Saena's brow furled. "South," she declared, "there are pine trees in the south and along the mountains, and the flatlands are where the best grass grows." But what could that mean regarding this wolf's identity?

There was the slightest idea forming in her head, a memory so long ago it seemed that she scarcely recalled it in the heat of the moment, but presently she didn't make the connection. She stepped forward to breathe deeper of the corpse's fur, hoping that she could catch it as keenly as the amazon and that would jog her memory.
