Porcupine Ridge For a mother, a brother and me

Pre-arranged with Noctura that the attack was halted. :)

He made no move to attack the black female; nor had he any real intention to do so. He felt it, the want to sink his teeth into her face and drive her from the lands beside his own, but he an individual capable of restraining himself. Unlike some. Farstep had joined him, but soon another was coming to join the black female, and he was coming at an hostile speed. Snarling furiously, Tagg coiled his muscles and prepared to deflect the attack as he quickly calculated what his next move was...

...but to his surprise, the black female, who he thought could not have a drop of sense in her skull, showed she at some after all. She called a halt to the attack, and her brutish subordinate skidded to a halt beside her. She was soon joined by a pup and another young male, and he was joined by Jhala, Diane, and Capriccio, who thundered her own ire at the brazen male for daring to launch an attack.

Their neighbors were not only outnumbered, but outclassed. It flashed in his mind that he and his pack could demolish them here and now, but despite his mounting frustration and fury, he continued to be steadfast. He quelled the aggressive bristling of his fur, but maintained his posture of intense dominance, while his eyes continued to burn into the black female's own.

His voice was low, firm, and unquestionable. "You will move your borders the length of twenty wolves back from mine," he commanded. Not only would this open up a passage way for his wolves and travellers between the two packs, it would reduce the tensions and prevent the sort war that yet was on the brink of happening.
