The Lone Wolf and his Mate. Private rp with wingfeather-

He sighed, ''it might be,'' he answered, ''but it would be better than having them found out by the pack. Who knows what may happen if they were found out. It would just be better if we left as soon as we can.'' He thought a moment, ''perhaps as soon as they are weaned off milk? I know, so do I,'' he said looking down at the pups.

"That sounds like a good idea, but that won't be for at least another two or three months." Winter said as the pups finished up nursing. Winter licked her pups heads lovingly. "Good night my little ones, we'll see you in the morning." Winter said as the last pup drifted off to sleep. Winter licked her mate's nose. "I love you, Skylar" She said as she lay her head down on her paws.

[wingfeather]

Skylar watched as each of the pups let out their last yawns before dropping off to sleep, they looked so content he thought. Skylar nuzzled Winter's ear, ''I love you more,'' he answered as he laid his head next to her's and closed his eyes. His last thought before falling asleep was how perfect his life was, it just coudnt get better.

[Abbster]

Winter awoke the next morning to a light breeze ruffling her fur. Skylar was out of the den, so he was most likely out hunting. Winter gazed down at her four pups as they began to wake as well. "good morning my loves" Winter said with a smile as Avalanche snuggled against her. Winter smiled and licked his head. "are you four hungry?" she asked. Without hesitation, all four pups began nursing almost instantly

[wingfeather]

Skylar woke very early that morning and for some reason could not go back to sleep. He had to odd feeling that something was going to happen today. He didn’t know whether that something was good or bad, he just felt deep down that there was going to be something different about the day. He noticed that Winter was still asleep. Quietly he padded out of the den, thinking that perhaps he could bring her back a nice surprise before she even awoke. Once he was free of the den he quietly slipped into the wood.

Winter smiled down at her pups and she nuzzled them lovingly.

Nova was trotting along in her patrol group when she caught the scent of another wolf. Her hackles rose and she let out a growl to the wolves in front of her. "I scent trespassers" She said in a low voice.

[wingfeather]

Skylar eventually scented a rabbit, he had forgotten about the time and now the sun was rising even higher. Quietly he approached the rabbit then, biding his time, and deeming the time right, crouched and…. pounced.

Everest nodded to her friend, “me too,” she said, her eyes darted around in search of the scented wolves. North let out a small bark, “let’s close in silently,” he said as they approached the area where the scent was strongest.

[Abbster]

Sterling nodded his agreement. "That sounds like the best choice" He said quietly as they began to walk towards the scent. When they got closer, it turned out that the scent was filled with multiple. Nova sniffed the air and she gazed around. "I can smell six different scents" she said with a growl as she gazed around. Eventually, Nova saw a den and she glared her eyes a little bit. "there" she growled

[wingfeather]

North went into a crouch as the four approached the den, his nose quivering as he took in everything, “I suggest we jump them,” North said, “what do you say Sterling,” he asked his fellow scout. Everest could feel the hairs on her neck rising, and her legs shook slightly as she restrained herself from leaping forward, a white fang showed from beneath her lip as she emitted a small growl.

[Abbster]

Sterling nodded in agreement. "Ok" He said. "One, two....three!" Sterling said, as he let out a growl of anger and launched himself into the den snarling with rage. He didn't back down, even as he saw the nursing mother. She was trespassing on their territory.

Winter jumped as growls suddenly entered the den. She stood up, unlatching the pups from her side as she crouched over them for protection. Eclipse began to whine as she hid with her three siblings under her mothers belly.

[wingfeather]

Missed. Skylar growled to himself as the rabbit shot away into the underbrush. He sighed, there goes his mate’s breakfast. He supposed he could try again, the sun wasn’t to high in the sky yet, but no doubt his mate was awake. He looked around then came to a decision, his mate needed meat.

North jumped in right after Sterling, snarling and growling loudly, just as determined about the wolves as his friend. Everest was right beside Nova her back fur made her look nearly twice as big as she really was.

[Abbster]

Winter gazed around as four wolves piled into the den. She began trembling ever so slightly as the pups continued whimpering in fear at the snarling and growling. "W....What c...can I d...do for you?" Winter stuttered as she stood over her pups.

Sterling let out a growl, showing his sharp teeth. "You're trespassing!" He growled angrily. "You need to leave." He said. "NOW!" Nova piped in.

[wingfeather]

“Yes,” North said in an angry voice, “you don’t belong here and if you don’t get out of our territory some bad things might happen,” he said ominously. Everest snarled to back up his statement.

[Abbster]

Winter was trembling harder now. “P…please….m…my pups they’re only a month old….gi…give me and my mate time.” Winter begged. Nova snarled. “You have three days. If we scent you here again, we will not hesitate to kill you or your family” Nova said as she snapped her jaws and led the group out of the den. Winter stared in pure fear as her pups whimpering grew. “I…it’s ok darlings.” Winter said, trying to soothe them…except for the fact that she too was quite scared.

[wingfeather]

“That should get rid of them” Everest said as the wolves loped away. North nodded, “yes, we cannot tolerate intruders on our territory. We should get back and report them to Alpha Storm,” he said, “what do you say Sterling?” Everest looked at her friend, “I kind of felt bad for them,” she admitted in a hushed whisper so North and Sterling couldn’t hear.

The search for prey was fruitless for Skylar. He had in fact picked up the scent of a squirrel but it was old and faint, not worth his time tracking. He sighed, disappointed that he could not bring anything back to his mate. Quickly he ran back to the den, then just before he got back he stopped. What was that smell he was picking up? Wolves! And not the scouts they had become friends with. He rushed into the den and saw Winter trembling against the corner, “Winter, what happened,” he asked with a yelp, running up to her.
