Kaos froze and turned around, looking at the white wolf."You're from Moon Pack?" He guessed calmly. He was in a submissive stance now, to show he didn't mean any harm, even though he was a beta. Maybe if she seemed like a stupid wolf once he got to know her, he would be mean to her, but for now he was going to give her a chance.

Keitha yelped as she walked through the woods and stepped on something sharp. She lifted the hurt paw off the ground and looked at it. Her right front paw was bleeding and there was a rock where her foot had been. She continued walking, but without letting her front right paw touch the ground.  She could see Haji and Glyz, and paused, taking a few seconds to stare at Haji.

Ylera woke up and stretched out, quickly realizing Rivka was not there. "Nykamar!" She barked. The white and black wolf's eyes shot open, and he stood up. "What?"

"Where is Rivka?" She asked impatiently.

"Hunting, I think," Nykamar answered.

"Did anyone go with her?"

"Not that I know of, alpha Ylera."

Rivka Stood, staring at the newcomer. "Yes." She growled. She knew he meant no harm, but was still in a protective stance. She glared at the wolf, not taking any chances to trust anyone anymore. She frantically tried looking toward the trees here Meard and Haji left, wondering what was taking so long.

Haji heard a yelp from behind him. He looked and saw Kietha, holding up her paw. "Wait a minute, Meard." He called to him as he ran to Kietha's side. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked his packmate loyally. He cared for his pack very much.

"It's alright." Kaos explained, lowering himself to the ground, in a submissive stance, even though he was a beta. "I'm not going to hurt you." He paused. "Ylera is my sister." He mentioned. "I have promised her I will not hurt her pack."

"I stepped on a sharp rock and cut my paw." Keitha said," It will heal. It's just a little sore." She wanted to smile as she looked at Haji, but didn't.

((Agh! Sorry it took so long for me to reply!))

Maerd: I stare intensly into Haji's eyes as he asks me the one question I pray he does not. I don't want to answer, but I feel like I'm compelled too. "Yes." One question equals one answer, why I chose one word to be that answer, well, that's just me.

(Maerd is feeling angry, don't tempt him to much. Gylz is on temporary hold as I have no muse at all for him...... not a good excuse, I know, but it's true.)

(( Sorry I took a bit also, :) ))

Haji nods. "Okay. You might want to have Gylz take a look at it, though. Just in case, y'know?" He says. Then he trots back to Meard. "So... She is your mate?" He asks, but freezes in his tracks when he sees that Kaos has discovered Rivka. "Look, Kaos is here." He whines, feeling also a little protective of Rivka, since she might be his friend's mate.

Rivka still stared at the male, feeling awkward that someone would give her a submissive stance. Knowing he will not hurt her, her eyes got softer.

Maerd: "Kaos? That little kniving theif of a wolf. He's been out to get Rivka's heart, no doubt about it. Well he'll have to go through me first, and no, she is not my mate. Not yet." I say as I walk back beside Haji, who is my friend again. I leave Haji, and dash back to Rivka, who is looking at Kaos softly, almost as if they have feelings. It makes my blood boil, and I know that I must win Rivka's heart first before Kaos does. I turn, my glare evil and malicious as I look at Kaos. "What are you doing here?" I say threateningly, forcing a snarling growl back down my throat.

(Waiting for Murk, and still no muse for Gylz)

( Kay. )

Rivka's ears fold back as she trots closer to Meard's side. She sticks like glue, hoping nothing bad will happen. So if he goes, she goes. If he does not, She will not. "I don't know what to do. And please, dont get into a fight with him. Not another." She pleads to her soulmate. She has feelings for both the new wolf and Meard, but this is so complicated.

Haji followed, standing next to Rivka while she stood next to Maerd.

Maerd: I look at Kaos, supressing a growl, when Rivka speaks. Completely caught out, I turn back to my future mate. "But!" I protest. I'm almost whinning to Rivka. She has complete control over me. Eve though she will probably follow my every move, she still has the dominant position in this, interesting relationship.

Gylz: I follow Haji over to Keitha, but slowly, being more reclusive. After Haji leaves and returns back to Maerd, I approach, slowly. "Hello. My name is Gylz. May I see your paw? It may need medical treatment."

((I typed this up, got halfway through it, then left for an hour, and I'm posting it now. Sorrt if it conflicts with anything in the past, present or future.))

((Bears are just a menace to everyone...))

Maerd: I watch Kaos, but he does not speak, although he looks angry. He stalks away, and I turn to Rivka for about three seconds, only to turn back and find that he has gotten a Bear mad at him, and now we have to fight it. 'How the hell did he do that?' I think angrily. But I follow his instructions, and block Rivka from the Bear. If need be, I'll lay down my life, just so Rivka has the chance to escape. She is the only wolf in the world that I would do this for. The only wolf in the world.
