OOC:: Hi there! 
WC: 395
Ciara had been travelling the borders that day, grateful for the chance to move freely. A myriad of things had happened since her injuries, and they were now healed. She felt whole again, even though the fur had not grown completely over the gash on her side. It was just shorter than the rest of her pelt, no longer bald, which she was thankful for. To make matters better, she had survived her first heat cycle with no grievous incidents. Part of that had to do with her respect for her Alphas, another part was that she was only interested in one male, and he was a creature of control.
She had awoken that morning deciding to scout the pack lands for a herd. As the newly appointed Epsilon, she knew that it was partly her duty to lead pack hunts. She’d been thinking about it almost constantly. The calico female spent the early hours of that day combing over every inch of New Dawn’s territory until she found a sizeable herd. Ciara had just laid down, crouching in the damp grass to watch the herd and pick out any weaklings – when a howl reached her ears.
She didn’t recognize the noise, but stood and carefully stalked away anyway. The Epsilon had yet to greet a new wolf at the borders and she wanted to take the chance this time. It would be a good show of her rank to do so, and she planned to pepper the wolf with questions, whether they wanted to join or not. Picking her speed up into quick trot, she soon saw the tree-line of the borders on the horizon and made her way towards the canine awaiting her company.
A smell she’d never detected before hit her, and she slowed her steps for a moment, stopping just a few feet away from the newcomer. It was clearly part wolf, but had another trace to its blood that Ciara could not determine. It was not coyote, for sure, which caused Ciara to relax a little. She moved forward then and took on a dominant posture. Her thick tail curled up over her back, ears pushed forward and earthen eyes focused intently on the orange gaze of the canine before her.
“I am Ciara, Epsilon of New Dawn, the pack whose borders you now stand on. What are your intentions?”
