Her call did not go unanswered, and a male the colour of obsidian sprinted toward her. What did concern her, however, was the shock, the disbelief, the anger on his face as he halted not to far from her. He was rather handsome, she admitted, though quite large, and would probably tear out her throat should she give him the chance. She knew personally how aggressive wolves guarding their territory could be, and she did not wish to push this male.
Though she did wonder at the odd expressions on his face. Was it not often this pack got visitors? Seemed plausible, as it was rather hidden away. Or did he think she was someone else, or was something wrong about her? She wondered for a second if something was on her face, then turned her full attention back onto the wolf. He spoke, a deep rumble, and the cream femme twitched her ears to show him that she was listening.
"I stumbled upon your borders while travelling north." That was true, at least. She had been heading northward again, travelling southward on a hunch that her sister would be here. After a couple weeks of searching in this dead land, her efforts had proved fruitless, and so she was heading north again. Her sister wouldn't settle that far south, would she? No, of course not. She had kept going with the though that over the next hill, the next plain, she might find the girl, but had given up after the 37th hill.
She ought to join a pack, she had reasoned. Loners don't tend to last long, especially during a famine. Loners, it seemed, tended to become eaten. She had stumbled, twice, upon the pick-clean body of a canine, coyote or wolf she did not know, and had to wish to know. Unless she wanted to become that unidentifiable carcass eaten by desperate wolves, a pack might be in her best interests. "Do you have room in your pack for perhaps one more? I can prove my worth" She had judged, by this wolf's words, that he occupied some high ranking position. His home? Must be an alpha, perhaps, or a beta. Though she was unsure, as they normally walked with a dominant, confident air, and did not let emotions flit across their face like butterflies.
