Ever since the raid and the horribly unsuccessful meeting with AniWaya's new leader, Savina had been horribly on edge and solemn. Her pack was in danger—more danger than it had ever been in before. Their neighbor had turned suddenly hostile towards them and they held her second-in-command captive. Every day she prayed to whatever deities may listen that Anu would find a way to escape from the enemy pack, but as of yet those prayers seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. She had commanded the pack to increase their patrol of the borders and to do whatever they could to strengthen their defenses on the western side of the lands. Next time the AniWayans would not find it so easy to slip into Crimson Dreams unnoticed for so far.
The Consul could almost always be found patrolling the lands these days, and had taken to doing so in her secui form. It was not the body that Savina usually preferred, but with such danger afoot the last thing she wanted was to be caught in a troubling situation not at her full strength. The sent of a stranger caught her nose and her hackles raised. Swiftly the Italian wolf found the unknown male on her borders and emerald eyes narrowed in suspicion. What business do you have here in Crimson Dreams? Her head was held high and her tail curled over her back, announcing her status. Usually the Marino was a much more welcoming woman, but with the war she was suspicious of any soul she did not know.
