Thread: Whispers From Wolves (Raziel99 & darkangel76)

It was around midday that he woke up, stretching almost like the wolves around him even in his human form. He sat up, scratching the side of his head for a moment before stretching again, the rest of the pack slowly rousing from their sleep, jowls smacking at the slightly-cold air. Wrapping the cloak around him a little tighter to fight back against the cold, he walked out of the cave that had been his home for several years. His daily ritual. He moved to a spot near the cave entrance, which was now unmarked except for where roots had wrapped around the bones. His father had died right here, burned to death. He still didnt know the reason as to who did it, or why. But he knew it was bad people who did. But the wolfpack took him in rather willingly, and he was quickly made alpha. Shifters were good for controlling large numbers, they found. And he never let them down. Alpha. One of the larger wolves had walked up to him, nuzzling the side of his body against his leg. He reached down, scratching the wolf behind the ears, earning a murr. You always know the best spots. I should. Ive been with the group for around 10 years now. Since I was a pup, you could say. He lifted his head, looking around, then to the sky. Maybe it had been later than midday that he had woken, because the sun was setting, the cloud cover getting thicker and greyer. Were in for a storm. Then it might be a good idea to get out, stretch, and hunt while we can. Rylai nodded, letting out a short whistle. Another, smaller black wolf came towards him, this one with a leather pouch tied around its back. He peeled the cloak off of his person, standing nude in the chilled air as he folded it carefully and slid it into the pouch. Then his body quickly shifted, body leaning forward, silver fur covering his body as he shrunk, taking the form of a Snow Wolf. He nodded to the Beta, who rounded up the rest of the pack, setting them off. Beta, take half and go down the mountain and search there for deer and ilk. Ill take a group around the mountain itself for anything edible. There was sounds of approval before the group split in two. The moons came out, and the group let their howls go, a pack on the hunt. They rushed forward, smelling something on the wind. Not something, but several somethings. Rylai noticed the similarities of one of the scents. Theres a wolf ahead, with several others. Two wolves ran ahead, and his eyes narrowed, but he broke with the group with the leather-bound wolf, trailing the two. He stayed back, somewhat covered by the snow cover and the flurries that were coming down. He stayed low, keeping an eye on the two wolves. Unsurprisingly, they ran into something. Surprisingly, a some-one. He moved slowly, getting a better vantage spot. His eyes narrowed as he heard the demeaning talk of the wolves, evaluating the woman that was in front of him. Stop. It was a echoing command of power that she most likely heard, but the wolves ignored him. They chased and jumped her as she tripped. But he was faster, bowling over both of them in a blinding flash of white, growling as he lowered his position to one of attack. Dont you ever ignore an order from me again. Ever.- Do you understand me? He growled and barked, sending the two running with tails between their legs. His stance slowly shifted to stand fully, turning to the woman that was on the ground. Youre lucky that they arent the brightest, or I wouldnt have noticed them run off. But, do tell, why are you in my territory? His eyes were a deep blue, staring into hers. His silver fur was slowly being coated by snow, showing just how pure-white it was.
