The sable female had been exploring all day, she could not help it, the sights and smells of a new place were too much of a lure to her at a normal time, let alone when the place was to become her new home. So far she was enjoying being in these new pack lands, though leaving Crimson Dreams had been a sadness that she would not soon forget; her daughters had been understanding, both the blood girls and her adoptive one, and Anu had been more than kindly when she had spoken of needing to move on, but still, the place had been her home for so long and she knew that she would always miss it from time to time, as she still missed Syemv despite the fact that it was destroyed so many years ago. The sable female had finally finished her journey late in the afternoon yesterday, she had come in her Optime form to carry her bag, there were a few very small things that she would never give up no matter what, things that would have to be prised from the cold claws of her corpse, she had brought them here and hidden them carefully within the den; they were nothing offensive, she knew that Zalen shared her love and reading and writing, she was sure that the books would not be too upsetting to her new ebony Alpha. The dark female had been padding around the borders of the lands all day, marking the territory where the scent was beginning to fade but generally relishing in the feeling of being here; this was her new home, here she had the chance to make a difference, Zalen had asked her to come here as she was his mentor and could help him, the fact that he needed her advice had swayed her choice to come here and be the Beta wolf and she could not say that she was not glad of her decision, this was going to be a wonderful pack and indeed her home.
These thoughts were interrupted by a call from Zalen and Titania, the ebony Beta's heart skipped a little as she remembered Zalen's words to her, he had said that he considered her a mother and she had to confess that she felt the same for him, she was already beginning to see the young pale Alphess as a daughter in law as well; it seemed that her new leaders were calling their new family to them. The dark female raised her head and let out a short call in reply, letting them know that she had heard them and that she was on her way, she would be with them soon; unfortunately her injured leg was still healing and although her limp was now far less prominent it was still present, she knew that it would slow her down on her approach to the meeting place. Still the dark lady set out at the fastest pace she could, all four paws bouncing against the ground as she raced along, her leg was aching but the excitement she felt was quashing that feeling, she felt that she could run for miles. When she finally arrived she discovered that many of her new pack mates were already at the meeting place, she trotted in in a dominant stance, walking past the two silver and the single sable male subordinates, giving them welcoming glances as she did so. As she reached Deuce she paused, bending her dark head and licking at her maw affectionately, she knew how nervous her mate could get when meeting a new pack, especially as she had once been an Alphess herself, Soran just hoped that she pale female would be able to submit. As she approached the Alpha pair she dropped into a submissive stance, giving a small bow to them.
"My lady and lord, it seems that we have succeeded in our plans, what a happy occasion." The dark matriarch said to her adoptive children and very real leaders. The Beta then turned and looked out at the subordinates, her stance shifting automatically to a far more dominant one, less so than Zalen or Titania, but still more dominant than the others.
"It is wonderful to see you all here, for those who do not know I am Soran Aatte and I am your Beta wolf." The scarred lady said, looking them all over with a careful eye, she hoped that they liked hunting, as soon as her leg was healed she intended to lead some hunting parties herself.
