Overture Downs Survival is my middle name

The female began to stare, and it unnerved Steady. As Alpha, very few wolves were allowed to meet his eye level without consequences. His hackles began to raise, but then Krypton arrived, and he was at ease with more of his family here. The strangers were outnumbered now and it settled him to know the odds were in their favor, should anything physical happen.

The stranger female spoke, and his ears perked to try and catch her words, but her accent was heavy and it was difficult for him to understand what she was saying. However, her body language came through as relaxed, so he didn't think she was saying anything off-putting. He glanced first to Krypton, then to Mara Susi, before his eyes went to the pale male. He said not a word, but his language spoke volumes. He was submissive, and obviously not going to start anything. 

He kept replaying the female's words in his head, trying to figure out what she had said. The last few were the only ones that made any sense to him. He's looking to join a pack? Steady questioned, curious. With the betrayal of two of their own, adding to their numbers was vital if the pack was going to survive.
