Another pack.... well shoot. Danica stopped short of the border, pausing to take the scent. Annoyed, she sighed.... looked like she was going the long way around again. She'd been doing this for days, hopping territories and avoiding packs. From prior experience this seemed to be the right move. Alphas tended to get touchy when you stepped on their precious soil.

She really didn't relish the idea of another roundabout jaunt through the wilderness though. Besides, she couldn't do this loner thing forever. She was hungry and, surprisingly, craving company. Maybe wandering the wilderness alone really was bringing out the crazy in her. Hah, not likely. Much as she enjoyed her own company, though, it would be nice to have others. How long had it been? A month since the last one? She and the alpha had had a difference in opinion, and life in that pack hadn't been enough to entice her to keep her mouth shut. Their loss.

Well, there really was no harm in trying. If it didn't work out, she could always leave again. Sooner or later some pack would see her as the asset she was. Who's to say it wasn't this one right here? Only one way to find out. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and let out a howl, alerting the pack that she was waiting at the border. If they were any sort of pack, someone would be here shortly. Pack wolves loved their borders, she thought, amused. Suppose I may have to get into the spirit soon, won't I?
