The hope for a new family

Pack joining @Malachi

A heavy panting filled the air announcing the female's arrival. Her lungs and paws were aching because of the long road she traveled. The two year old left her old pack in a rather rash decision, as it turned out, it was hard to be on your own. Scarlett decided that it was too difficult. It felt worse than being with an unloving pack. Even though she was often ignored back home it didn't compare with the utter silence she had to go through when she was by herself. Her white coat wasn't as pure white as it should be. Especially after she trotted along the edges of some wetlands. Her paws hard not as much grip as she thought she would have. Scarlett's red eyes scanned the grounds where she was now. She felt a bit more comforted by the snow and ice of the glacier. Her coat was thick enough to protect her from the cold.

The female sniffed the air realizing that there was a pack close by. Maybe this would be a good place to settle, if, that pack accepted her. Most packs were so territorial maybe it wasn't a good idea to go at this moment. She was a worn and hungry from her journey. The wolf's brain reminded her that she had to spend another night alone if she wouldn't go now. Scarlett had a surprisingly high want for contact with wolves you would think after being rejected so much that she would be bitter and cold. Scarlett was not. When other wolves had pushed her away she only came back with more strength. A soft flutter went through her. She thought about being cleaned by a pack member or be allowed to curl against someone in a warm den. Back home she had been a bit lucky. Scarlett had a sister that was rather caring and sweet to her when no one was watching. Scarlett scolded herself after that thought. She shouldn't look back to her old life. She was at the beginning of making a new one.

She could smell the strong pack's boundary. The white wolf boldly stepped through it. She felt like she set of an alarm. Maybe the whole pack would go in attack of her intrusion. Her ears fell back unsurely. Maybe she should howl to let them know she was knocking on their door? She decided that was the safest way. The female really didn't want to make any enemies. Scarlett threw her head back and let out a short howl to announce her arrival. Her tail hung down not yet tugged between her legs. She didn't want to come across as weak or scared. Scarlett might be a bit scared of what would be the consequence of her actions.
