Phoenix Maplewood Joining?

Lunar loped towards the pack's territory,recalling vividly the last two times she'd done this. Both times she'd been rejected by the packs. She was quickly learning that the customs of these southern wolves was different from her own. The first mistake was crossing Porcupine Ridge's borders, she wasn't accustomed to searching for borders. Where she came from most packs were related so that it wasn't unusual for wolves to cross each other's borders to visit. She still had a few scabbed over bite marks from the silent wolf she'd been intercepted by. The second was looking Lost Creek's alpha in the eye. It was custom to look wolves in the eyes where she came from regardless of rank. It was difficult learning these new ways,she had no mentor to teach her. She could feel the self doubt and anxiety of her earlier days creeping in close. It wasn't long until she reached the territory, she paused several feet away from the border. She sat down,resting her scarred leg. The snow was piled up where the cause of her limp could not be seen. She pondered whether or not she should even bother trying with a third pack. But being a naturally social animal left her feeling lonely,it was the risk she had to take. Besides if someone smelled her near the border they might hunt her down. She tipped her head back,howling to the sky so the pack would know she was there.
