Hideaway Strath Novae Meets Alula

At their latest pack meeting, Ruenna and the rest of Astersim Grove had been warned of the intruders who had recently infiltrated their territory. Rue had been on high alert since then, but she hadn’t truly believed the trespassers would be insolent enough to return.
 
Rue had caught the scent of a strange female, and tracking the girl down had been easy enough since she seemed to be marking her path at regular intervals. Rue marveled at the audacity of the wolf who would mark within the boundaries of another pack.  
 
Rue froze when she heard strange voices ahead, speaking in a foreign tongue. One trespasser she could have handled by herself, but two? She would need backup. She let a sharp bark ring out. Her call would alert the intruders that they had been discovered as well as summon her other packmates—namely alphas @Towhee and @Phox-- to their position.
 
Rue moved forward so she would be visible by both strangers, and she sank into a defensive stance. “This territory is claimed for Asterism Grove,” she spoke, tail lashing in irritation. ”I suggest you both leave immediately, and do not return.” Although Ruenna preferred to bark before she bit, she had packmates that would not afford these strangers the same luxury. They needed to leave now, or they risked attack.
