Very Uneasy... Amber Arival

I am going to see if I can get this moved into the pack forum :) since it's a joining thread and all

Dante had woken up before dawn yet again, his sleep troubled. Atticus's disappearance weighed heavily upon the Alpha, for he felt it somewhat his fault. He was in charge and therefore Atticus had been his responsibility, but in the chaos of changing leaders and winter's approach the responsibility had fallen to the back of Dante's mind. Hindsight was always 20/20.

They had lost quite a few good members to Perry's departure and, though they were not small, nor did they have the numbers they had before. Therefore, when Dante caught the stranger's scent leading well into pack lands, it was to this that he attributed the missed border intrusion. Besides that, it seemed recent.

Picking up his pace, he broke into a run, cutting off sideways in order to intercept her. It was not long before she came into sight, and he darted in front (as well as he could, considering his lack of speed). It was there he stopped, blocking her path. She did not seem much of a threat, but still his words were laced with a growl. "What are you doing in pack lands, stranger?" His head was held high, a posture he knew would demand respect. While not a particularly aggressive wolf, Dante couldn't afford to pull punches with intruders.
