That's Auggie...Blowing this entirely out of proportion >.>

This was insulting, worse than insulting. Who did this stranger think he was? Did he think he could protect New Dawn better than Augustus? New Dawn's business was New Dawn's it was their concern and theirs alone. This wasn't his pack, this wasn't his home. The behemoth snorted, dashing his claws against a near by tree. A rogue snarl ripped from his muzzle when his paws hit the ground. The dog, Alister, his name was Alister...He had to remember. He'd met Ciara, had spoken to her. And Augustus hadn't heard a damn word about it. That incensed him most of all, more than the man's easy manner and the weapons he so skillfully held. If she had told him...yes, he would be angry with her, enraged, even, but at least they would have been over it by now. Her deceit only made everything worse for the man that had known betrayal more than once already in his young life. What he'd done had been for her own protection. The border was safer than the lands beyond. If she called there, help would come, but the further she traveled from them the more danger she was putting herself in. Growling he hunched his body and bounded towards the den where she should be.

His steps were heavy, angered, and his pelt was in full bristle. When he drew nearer he roared her name, "Ciara!" His woman was a fighter in her own right, but still she was just one wolf, and this Amy bitch had proven too much for even Tharin to handle. His brother had crossed the border in a pitiful state all broken with bleeding wounds, and scars upon more than one area of his body. Augustus had been there, had cleaned his wounds himself...If that had been Ciara...His heart pained just to think of it. It had been torturous watching Deuce and Soran attending to her broken ribs, to go through that again...He thrashed his head to the side, now was not the time to be going soft. She lied to him, not directly, though, but the fact that she hadn't told him had been condemnation.

The behemoth came to a screeching halt as he caught her scent floating on the summer air. So she wasn't in the den. Panting, he turned and adjusted his course. "Ciara!" He called again, eyes sharp. Soon enough he caught sight of her radiant pelt, and stopped himself in the distance, taken aback by her beauty as she soaked in the last of the summer sun. Quickly the snowy male corrected himself, turning his gaze to glare at the ground as he growled. His approach was deliberately slow as he held his tail and ears aloft. Stiff-legged he stepped right up in front of her. Yellow eyes held her in his stony gaze, neglecting to soften in her presence. "You disobeyed me, Ciara..." Augustus's voice was still husky from lack of use and he spoke quietly, though his body trembled with rage. "Did you think I wouldn't discover your little secret...?" Pearly daggers were revealed beneath his black lips and the behemoth spoke through his bared teeth. And just in case she wanted to play coy he prevented the lie before it could happen, laying the evidence of her betrayal out before her. "I met your little friend..."
