north sea storm

I'm only upset you didn't invite us to come over and play! :-P

Julooke was neither a harsh wolf or a leader, so it was easy for her to say she would handle things this way and that. However, she understood the burdens of being a leader, and had no interest in them. It was days like today, and what Ragnar and the group had to do that made being a leader, even a wolf in general, difficult. The lives of the pack were being put in jeopardy because a new pack would likely need Horizon Ridge's hunting grounds to use for themselves. There would be no thoughts of sharing, because the world simply did not work like that. Majesty had made a mistake in claiming the island because it could sustain them, and it could be that he would make a mistake later in using hunting grounds that Horizon Ridge had claimed as theirs, even if it was unwritten. Julooke knew all this, even if she wished it could be different.

She nodded to Ragnar, a show that he was right, and that she would do whatever needed to be done to follow out his commands. Could she kill a wolf? Only to save her life, or that of a loved on. For trespassing? She didn't think she would have it in her. Verrine adamantly agreed with their leader, something that did not surprise Julooke. He had always been protective over his family, and over Julooke- something that made her feel safe, down to her soul.

She was silent as Ragnar threw up a howl, looking over to Verrine. She would hate it if they had to go to war. She knew lives could be lost on both sides. What would she do if she lost him? Just the thought of it made her heart hurt and thump aggressively in her chest.
