Truthfully, there was a bit of an unsteadiness in Sumac's stride as he made his way closer to the heart of the plateau. He'd never joined a pack before - no, he'd be born into his family, and never expected to have to request to join another. But circumstances were what they were, and he had to accept how the dice had fallen.
He'd been residing on the plateau for the past two weeks, happily enjoying the company of his new wife, Raindrop. However, he was a trespasser, living off the lands of another pack, taking prey that were rightfully theirs. Now, with the prospect of potential children entering their lives, he knew in his heart that thinking he could have life both ways - as both a family man and a loner - was a fool's errand. Now, he had to step up, make the commitment to Raindrop, her pack, and his family.
The lanky Mackenzie halted, giving Raindrop a concerned glance over his shoulder, gilded eyes wide with anxiety. He knew he was prepared for any outcome, even being driven off, but he didn't want to consider that possibility. What would they do then? No, he'd do whatever was asked of him, for the wellbeing of all. Trespassing willingly had been his mistake, and only he should have to be penalized.
The miniature cougar (Raja) that persisted in following him, ambled close by though seemed visibly skittish. Perhaps the spotted cat sensed somehow that things were about to change and tasted the tension in the air.
Exhaling at length, 'Mac inhaled deeply and lifted his maw to the sky, his baritone voice resounding throughout Ocean's Breath Plateau. With this, he alerted all to his presence - no more slinking around, no more hiding. And then, he waited. He hoped someone would respond, someone of Moontide who would lead him to his fate.
…Even in the darkest night
