[html]She had been working on her notes again, scribbling in the particular notebook that held the beginnings of a map of the area. The other books, which were scattered on the den floor around her, would contain the information she collected on the other packs. So far, they were rather empty. Cold golden eyes were focused intently on the pages held in her lap, but Azalea cast her gaze towards the cold cave hallway that connected her room to the rest of the cave system. Before the pup had actually arrived, it was clear by the sound of his light footfall he was headed for Azalea.
"What is it?" Her voice was cold and direct, and the stray lock of onyx hair fell to obscure one golden eye. It seemed as if most of the members of Anathema knew to keep away from Azalea, for she was generally unpleasant to deal with. Juju, however, sought the Rakeeb for a matter entirely out of his paws. His mother was at the borders with a loner seeking to join, and since Juju had been unable to locate Naniko (whom most likely had wandered outside of Anathema’s borders for the day) it was up to Azalea to assess whether the newcomer was worthy of their family. Putting her notebook to the side, Azalea rose to her feet and followed little Juju through the maze of the caves.
It did not take long for the young leader to come across Selene and an unfamiliar face near the entrance that connected the caves to the outside world. Golden eyes, cold despite their warm tone, scrutinized the girl. "Who is it we have here, Selene?" She did not look forward to the blood sharing ritual, but if the girl proved worthy, it would be something Azalea would have to perform. Time would tell.
