Duskfire Glacier beef brisket

The call seemed off--aggressive, and Taki wondered what the problem was. From what she could tell, the sound had not come from the borders, and she thought maybe Neasa had caught a trespasser. She wasted no time moving that way, swift paws carrying her easily across the ice. 

When she arrived, it was not find any intruder, but the dark female on her own, her intent clear in her posture. The snowy leader had to admire her for her gall, but mostly she was surprised by her complete idiocy. She stood tall and dominant, tail flagging high into the air. You realize this only ends badly for you? she asked, ice coating every word. Most of this pack is my own family. The rest are loyal to me. If you were to succeed, and that's a very big if, no one would follow you; you'd be left with no pack, making this completely pointless and a waste of my time. The atausiq began to circle the other woman, her murderous gaze never leaving the dark female. I'm willing to forgive this show of disrespect if you get the fuck out now. she stopped again in front of Neasa, a sardonic smile on her face. Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave here alive. Something maybe the other wolf hadn't learned about Taki yet was that she rarely put any value in the lives of those outside her circle of trust. She had remained diplomatic with the new packmate, impressed even, but she was far from earning Taki's trust, which meant in the end, she was disposable. Taki wouldn't tolerate this kind of insolence in her pack. She was already being far kinder than she normally would by giving her the option to leave without harm, so if the woman was stupid enough to turn it down, then she would feel the leader's wrath without mercy.
