((ah woops O.o let's just say they met them while they were on thier way then ^^; ))

Lyanti caught his mate's look and glared back, saying with his eyes that that wasn't what he had been thinking about. he then returned his attention to Hirian and said,

"We were just on our way back to the den, care to join us? where's Ouka by the way?"

---

Medina jerked her head in the direction of the forest and said,

"He's giving the twins a goo dscolding I can imagine. They ran off despite Ouka's clear orders not to."

Medina smiled nervously and said,

"They're fine, Fayte. They're with Ouka about a mile north of here, but he's probably on his way back with them by now. Actually, it was thanks to them that we found Hirian."

Fayte sighed in relief, finally calming down.
"That's good."

Hirian was now confused. He glanced at Medina.
"Why-?"

((He stopped mid-sentence of saying 'Why was she freaking out so much?'))

Medina hushed him as she stomped on his tail with a hind foot, hiding it innocently with her wing.

---

Lyanti shook his head and said,

"always such a worry-wart."

----

Aurora looked at the newcomer, her crystal blue eyes drilling into him with a scrutinizing stare.

Kioko looked at the new wolf, cautious. She sniffed hesitantly.

Hirian almost yelped in pain. But he kept quiet. He shifted uneasily as he was stared at by the two pups.

Fayte, being close enough to Lyanti, cuffed him over the ear with her wing.
"Shush."

Lyanti sneered at her and stuck out his tongue, acting like a pup just to tease her.

---

Medina snickered as the pups worked thier magic while investiagting Hirian.

-----

Aurora glanced at her sister and muttered,

"what do you think?"

Kioko shuffled to stand pelt to pelt with her sister.
"Not sure yet."

Fayte stuck out her tongue aswell.
"There's no winning, Lyanti."

Lyanti bumped his nose into hers and said, grinning,

"Says the sore loser."

----

Aurora snorted in agreement and returned her gaze to stare at hirian.

Kioko also stared at Hirian, now intent on finging the slightest fault.

Fayte smiled.
"Says the sorer loser."
She flicke her tail impatiantly.

Lyanti snorted and sat down, returning his attention to Hirian. In his mind, he said,

How did she know that? Ouka's been talking o her no doubt... *growls mentally*

He said to Hirian,

"The den is just up ahead. We'll continue talking there. for now I need to get my mate to a place where we can properly treat to her wounds."

He caught sight of Aurora and Kioko staring Hirian down and said,

"Kioko, Aurora, that's enough. Stare like that of rmuch longer and your eyeball will fall out."

----

Aurora snapped back at her father,

"Liar!"

But she did as she was told and followed him, bumping Kioko as she went.

Kioko followed, still glancing at the dark wolf every now and then.
"We hould do that again some other time. It was fun!" She barked to her sister.

Hirian nodded, than whispered to Medina.
"Okay, so those two are Alphas, and the two pups with them are there's, as well as the twins that Ouka's talking to?"

Medina counted them off in her head and muttered,

"Kioko, Aurora.. yup yup that's it. Lyanti and Fayte are the alphas of this pack. The twins, Kioko and Aurora are thier pups."

----

Aurora giggled and said,

"Totally. Next time we make faces though!"

Kioko grinned and nodded.
"Yeah! We're gonna have so much fun!"

Hirian nodded.
"Okay then, Now I think I'm okay."

Fayte sniffed again.
"Yeah, I am almost positive that StarMoon is waiting for us."

Lytnai sighed and muttered,

"and I still have that matter to clean up, boy this alpha buisness is rough. Thank god I have you next to me...."

----

Depsite herself, hearing Starmoon's name made Medina's heart clench up.

((Poor Medina. In the middle of so many reationships. DX))

Fayte sighed.
"StarMoon wouldn't have come back if she didn't want to calmly talk this through. And you can handle it without me. I'm just the reasonable one."

((Nice flashback guys! XD))

Ouka sighed,

'Well, it's behind us now. Let's catch up to your family and the others.  Just......please don't do that to me again..."

((if you think Medina's in the middle of just three affairs you should read up how I wrote it XD i started writing 'Life's Long Race to Happiness' as an actual book you see, (pip's read part of it XD) and Medina was also desired by the alpha of the old pack P: ))

Kurano, at the same time his brother said it mentally, said,

"Agreed."

----

Lyanti proceeded to glare at her but was interrupted as he noticed the den was just up ahead. He was suprised to see Starmoon waiting for them with an unfamiliar male sittign next to her.
