Porcupine Ridge Joining

Jhala cast her a glance, lowering her tail – Capriccio wasn’t certain what her Beta’s eyes spoke of, and instead cast her gaze upon the newer subordinate female and the male at their borders. Diane offered her name – something which Capri logged away for her own use, and she chose to remain silent for the moment, given Jhala introduced herself and then chose to keep talking.

She mentioned a ‘military’ pack – and the silver-tipped regal kept her silence for now, given she hadn’t a chance to speak just yet. The pale wolf before them was an addition to their ranks, should they choose to accept him, and in turn, kept him from seeking out the next borders of their neighbors. That thought alone was tempting enough for the dark woman to accept him, aside from his gender alone as a jab to Taggarik.

But he would find no footing within the border if he did not begin to show submission, and pointedly, the Alpha prowled closer to him, boasting her rank with one purpose alone – submission was expected at their borders, and if he proved to have none of it, he would be turned away. His form might have been lowered a bit in respect, but he was a wolf upon their doorstep seeking acceptance – and Capri had seen others completely show their bellies in trust to the Ridge wolves.
