Moonspear nothing can stop us

It had gotten a little crowded on the mountain, with a few new wolves added to the ranks. Dash wasn't all the comfortable in a large group, and had mostly kept to the outskirts of the pack lands, weaving in and out of the territory. Most of the other wolves stayed further within the territory, so he had less of a chance of running in to them.

But, the sound of a howl at the borders hit him with the harsh realities of his new life. There was no avoiding wolves that you lived with, and there was no avoiding new ones that arrived. As much as he tried to push himself into socializing, there were still many days that only his solitude would get rid of his anxiety.

Being Gamma of the pack, Dash knew he needed to set an example for the others and be more proactive. Charon and Amekaze had seen fit to promote him thus far, but the howl that ran out a few days ago had confused him. Floki, a wolf lower in rank than he, had been promoted to Beta over him. What did that mean? Dash wasn't good at being dominant anyways, but there was still a sting at being denied the promotion.

With a sigh, Dash headed towards the stranger, stopping at the border line of the pack lands. She was a petite wolf, silver in color. His stance was mostly neutral towards her, but his ears were perked in interest. Hello, he said simply. What can I do for you?
