Blackfeather Woods Howl at the border

What took longer for Akela to arrive was that he was at the south border dealing with a situation when he heard  Burke's howl. He had quite some work on his paws since Burke was grieving and Akela was doing his maximum to keep this running. Which with some element of the pack was not that easy. He was surprised to see  Damien acting like he was in charge. Akela was a patient wolf, but Damien was overstepping. He was all for proving himself, and showing what he could do but even at this distance, he could just see how negative Damien's body language was. That was not how you spoke to a loner, arrogance was not the way to handle this.  However, since you never showed quarrel in front of others,  Akela did not say anything. This "my cock is longer  "  was so not of Akela's age anymore.

He came closer and only heard the other apologize and how uneasy he was with Damien's behavior.  "Afternoon" he greeted both.  "I'm Akela, the beta of this pack, and at the alpha's request I will see if you are fit for this pack or not.  " he turned slightly to Damien.  "Thank you Damien"  he dismissed the wolf.
