Le had started her journey at a run, but now she was moving at a slow crawl. She tried to keep her head held high so that her green satchel would not drag-- But as she craned her neck to once again check and ensure that her bag was not dragging, she noticed it was dirtying anyways. Sighing, she ceased her efforts to stop it. "What does it matter now?" She thought, then traded out this thought for more optimistic ones. She day dreamed about all that this new land could hold-- Ponds, trees, forests, new things to hunt.. She licked her lips at the last idea. Food. She had been so caught up in finding a new home that she had neglected her own needs. A string of drool plopped on to a nearby strand of grass, glistening in the sun like dew after a rainstorm.. But, less sanitary.

The pup forced herself onwards until she could smell the urine markings of a pack. The beta of her old pack had pointed her in this direction, giving her a few distinct landmarks from when he had once come this way. She slowed down, sitting down on her rump. Her small chest inflated as she drew in a breath, sinking back in as she released a howl. It was high pitched, and pathetic by most standards. But along with the fact that she was mostly dog, she was also still just a cub. She looked around nervously, trembling slightly as she waited for someone to greet her. What would she do if she was turned away?

WC:: 502 - OOC Hope you don't mind Malakai sniffing around - he's a darker character and with your char being young, Kai's started to take the youngsters under his wing, so to speak, those who show hints of being trouble makers, like Kai himself hehe. Ah, and welcome! points - 5 + 15


The borders had been fairly quiet recently, unfortunately for Malakai. His head had been a mess since things with Axelle had taken a turn for the worse. He cared for her so much, but she was keeping him at a distance and he couldn't figure out why. She hated having him close by, it seemed to him, even when the female had been injured, Axelle hadn't let Malakai take her to get help, had only wanting him to leave her alone. It felt to him like they were growing more and more distant, and so to try to occupy his mind, Kai had started to get back into old habits - namely, causing trouble and generally getting on everyone's nerves.

With few others around Anathema willing to get upto any great mischief, besides the young coyote he had recently joined forces with, Malakai's dark mood had been getting the better of him lately, his mind creating devious little things to keep him entertained, like the hideous torture of small forest creatures, the thought of snapping their bones delighting him. With his nose to the ground in his bulkier Secui form, the black male sniffed a trail left by a small deer, alongside Anathema borders, following it with his tail swaying a little. Every now and then, his head lifted, his ears twitching a little as he listened for any tell tale noises, any twigs breaking or quick heavy breaths but he couldn't pick up too much as yet.

Then he heard it - the call at the border. A visitor requesting permission to enter Anathema lands. Kai's attention switches to the call, changing direction a little to move closer. After a few minutes, Kai sees a female sitting obediently at the border, seeing the nervous glances as she waits for someone to answer her call. A slow, dark smirk drifts itself over Malakai's muzzle as his feral yellow eyes lock onto her. She was a youngster, too, this one. Impressionable, he was willing to bet. His predatory gaze darkened even more as he slowly sauntered towards the female, lifting his nose as he sniffed the air quickly. His eyes slowly moved over her form, eyeing her up like a piece of meat before he stood still and strong before her, on Anathema's side of the border. "Hmmm, what do we have here? Fresh meat for the pack... Though you're just a pup. You wouldn't even fill one belly, let alone a whole pack." His dark nature was clear from the start - he was messing with her, trying to play on her insecurities, her age and her nervousness. Kai was a predator in every sense of the word and not the friendliest when it came to meeting strangers at the border. In fact, he would probably be the last choice for a greeter. He took a slow, calculated step towards her - how she held herself now would determine just how well Malakai got on with this young female. Sink or swim time.

Thanks! ^.*

Leilah's eyes had immediately brightened upon seeing the male. Of course she was scared, and her body did continue to tremble, but this wolf was the first canine she'd seen in days. She watched as he grew closer, studying the way his body moved. This was a tactic she had first learned upon seeing her authority come home after being gone for a number of days-- If they were cautious, or covered in blood, they were usually not safe to approach. But if they were grinning deviously at one another, that signaled that they were in a good mood. One of her favorite times to beg for food was when they were full of this wolfish laughter and smiles..

The way he carried himself was similar to the way they higher ranking members of her pack walked. She flattened her ears, a small sign on submission that she had observed from the way others had acted towards her own parents- The alphas of her pack. She pawed at the ground as a nervous habit, but when the wolf was in talking distance, she met his eyes. They were yellow, and looked rather challenging. But some thing within them was glowing warmly. She concluded that this was probably due to her young age, "A lot of of people have a soft spot for pups.."

She listened to his words, perking her left ear. He had referred to her as a meal. "I would tear you apart from the inside out." She said it with almost excitement from the violence. She knew it would not smart to actually kill someone in a pack that she was planning to join.. After all, mama and pa would probably not be very happy to hear if she had torn up one of her family members. She had a few scruffs with her brother before, and they were even upset over that. "Imagine taking it any further!" Due to this thought process, she had kept her voice teasing as well.

The pup didn't really see anything wrong with her remark-- This demonstrated some of her dark quality. She saw nothing sinister or wicked about what she had said. But, still, she partially expected him to lash out. Maybe nipping her ear as a form of punishment. This was a common thing she got from her father. He was not angered when she said such things to others, but was very stern when it came to her saying things to him.

WC:: 644 - OOC Yup, Malakai's a badass but I think he's taken a shine to the kid :-) Points - 5.


Malakai watched as the female pup lowered herself just a little and flattened her ears, smal acts of submission to the higher ranking wolf, and he acknowledged the gesture with a light nod of his head. He had been expecting as much from the outsider - it was customary to show such signs to a member of the pack whose land you wish to enter. It was her reaction to his words that would really give him an indication of what this individual was like, what spark was within her. This pup could go either way - she could take Kai's words as a threat and cower down to the ground, tail between her legs, beg to be shown mercy and to be allowed onto Anathema lands, or she could answer with confidence, with the same spark that he held within him.

To his satisfaction, he discovered it was the latter. Malakai was unable to hide the wicked grin that spread even wider over his muzzle as the female before him answered that she would rip him open from within if he devoured her. He liked this one. She had fire in her. Like Axelle... No, he couldn't think like that. His eyes lowered from the female for just a moment - Axelle had been the centre of his universe lately, but now, she was so distant, so cold towards him. His body tensed somewhat - well, he didn't need her. He would forget her easily if he put his mind to it, he told himself. He had other things to occupy himself with now.

With the black males gaze settled once more upon the female before him, this youngster with fire in her blood, Malakai's predatory nature enveloped him still and he stepped towards her, sniffing the air every few steps until he crossed Anathema land and very slowly began to wander around the pup, letting his eyes travel over her form, as if inspecting her muscle structure, to see if she was physically strong enough to fit into the pack, to hold her own. As he circled behind her, his voice grew darker. "You would tear me apart, now, would you, Pup?" Every word was precise, well enunciated. "Such a puny little thing as you?" He was teasing her, taunting her, but more importantly, he was testing her. He was daring her to answer back, daring her to show him that fire, that spark within her. Yes, he liked this pup. Kai would be disappointed if she backed down, if she lay to the floor and tembled. He could see this female as part of Anathema, definately. In fact, he could see this kid being taken under his wing, so to speak. Malakai had carried a weakness for pups for a while now and after Axelle had told him she was pregnant, that protective instinct still flared strongly in him but now, he had no-one to protect. No litter of pups, and the way things stood, he wasn't even sure if he had a mate.

Kai snorted a little as he continued to circle the youngster, trying to frighten her, still testing her nerves - if anyone in Anathema knew that he was greeting a stranger on the borders in such a way, let alone a pup, he was sure he would be punished. However, Anathema was a pack of misfits, of rogues who more or less all had something of a shady past and if this female was wanting in, she would have to learn to deal with the darker elements of society. Like Malakai himself. Pack Torturer, one who enjoyed ripping things apart while they were still alive, who injured for pleasure. Axelle had tamed him for a little while and he had become soft. Now he was getting back to what he was, back to that darkness within him.

What an awkward little galll

Malaki's eyes went from warm, to almost unhappy. Le wasn't really all that emotional, but he was the only person that she had even forged a slight bond with outside of her old pack.. He was more useful to her happy and alert. The hurt that she saw behind his orbs was quickly covered up. This led her to believe that he probably wasn't all that open about his feelings, much like herself. She felt a touch of sympathy some where in the depths of her heart.. When he approached her, though seemingly trying to intimidate her, she used this as an opportunity to comfort the man. As he circled around her she nuzzled at his back leg softly. This gesture had bypassed her need to preserve herself, but hopefully he would be forgiving.. She was just a pup, after all. And she had never really witnessed anyone joining her own pack, so wasn't exactly sure what to do. It was always just the same, small family.

"I would." She said, nodding her head once to further convince him of her assurance. Adult canines had much more powerful jaws, but puppy teeth were razor sharp. "I won't be small for long! You'll see. I'll get big. Then I can protect Anathema!" Said the young wolf dog, flashing the small white pegs within her mouth. Le squinted her purple eyes as he circled around again, cocking her head to the side as she met his eyes- Challenging him right back. Now, she could tell this was wrong. But obviously he wasn't looking to welcome her into the pack all on his own if he hadn't even questioned her on her skills yet.. Not that she really had any at this age. She looked for a word that would fit better than 'meaner,' so she would seem smart. But alas, her childlike vocabulary failed her."You don't scare me. You seem like a meaner, but you aren't." There was certainly no way for her to be completely sure of this assumption that she had just put out there, but her instincts told her it was true. "My name is Leilah. I like you. Don't die please." Her voice was sweet, and she clearly thought that was a very kind thing to say. It was not a threatening phrase in her mind, and with the smile on her voice, she could only hope he did not see it that way either.

They say shes a demon,

Aeron could not help but be out on a day like this. Though it was rare for the Coy woman to be in her Lupus form. Though she had elzar tagging along behind her, his saddle bags holding anything she would need for the day. Long delicate coyote legs stretched as she moved. It felt odd to travel like this and she found her golden eyes landing on anything that moved.

Though now Aeron was more at ease with Panda aiding in the training of all of the crows and ravens. Not to mention that Panda would be the first council member and one of great values to Aeron. Looking forward Aeron grunted as she picked up pace heading towards the sound of a howl. The sound was a young sound and it brought to her a smile.

Though the sound of the young made her wonder why. Not to many young ones made their way here of all places not to mention travel on their own. Aeron looked at the horse and urged him on though he could go faster than her. She could smell malakai and the new comer.

Aeron did not know what was going on but golden ears flicked at the voices. She chuckled as the girl proclaimed not to fear Malakai. In honesty Aeron wondered how the Allu thought he could be scary. Maybe he was in the wrong profession and needed to find a new one. Since it was odd to her that a caretaker held a torture specialization.

Malakai I believe circling is best left for the Hawks. She spoke moving to the two as she looked at the puppy. Are you really not afraid my dear child? She asked looking at the girl golden eyes looking her over. She was small and young but they grew fast and in no time she’d be like lillith and Aeron’s own child. My Name is Aeron, I’m the Angela of Anathema. She spoke smiling at the child.

WC:: 585 - OOC


Darkness swam in his veins, in his very being, he had always been that way and as he moved around the youngster, he felt her head bump against his side and back quarters a little. He hadn't been expecting it, and for just a second, his bravado, his dark energy faded. At that moment, as the young female nuzzled against him, his dangerous smirk regressed into something of a warm smile. However it was shortlived and by the time he circled back around to her front, the dark grin was back. He heard the pup's declaration that when she grew bigger, she'd be better able to protect the pack, and he knew it was the truth - he could see she had the right attributes to make a good fighter. She had the spirit for it, certainly. But as the youngster said she wasn't scared of him, his darkness faded a little more. Maybe in the future she would get to see what he was like firsthand. Kai was aggressive, violent, stubborn and usually cold towards strangers.

The young pup told the male her name, and just as he had been about to reply, his head lifted and his eyes landed upon his Angela, the Alpha of Anathema. Her high rank caused Kai's head to bow softly in recognition of her and he stepped back from the pup, letting Aeron look over the female. He snorted a little at his Angela's comment about leaving circling to the hawks but kept his feral yellow eyes upon the newcomer, watching her closely. He knew she wasn't afraid of him, but of course, he had only been testing her nerve. If he had really wanted her scared, he would have become a lot more aggressive towards her, snapping his jaws and taking bites from her.

Kai knew that not many understood his rank and specialization, how they could go hand in hand, how others thought it odd that a large male could be both fascinated in torture and pain, while at the same time be so interested in pregnant females, in birth and pups. But to him, it was fairly straight forward - it wasn't death he was fascinated with, it was life. Both the start of it and the end of it. Both ends of the same cycle. Being pack Torturer satisfied his darker elements while being caretaker satisfied his protective side. It was why he could tear someone apart one moment and the next, be so protective and caring towards another. Two sides of the same coin. He was the same way with Axelle - they could argue and fight and yet within minutes he could be so attentive, so affectionate towards her.

Kai knew that in the presence of his Alpha, that he had to behave himself and so as he watched the two females, the protective side of him seemed to flare - his Alpha and potential new packmate pup. Kai would do anything his Alpha told him to do, without question, like an obediant attack dog and already, he felt he would do the same for this youngster. He would protect her if she needed, he would help teach her, he would take her under his wing, like a big brother of sorts. Breaking his silence, his eyes turned to Aeron, still with a slightly bowed head, showing his submission to her. "I was just about to call you, Aeron. I was just about to ask her if she planned on joining us..."

Leilah was to focused on Malaki too notice the coyote at first. It was strange, considering how she was not generally very good at focusing on one person for more than a few minutes. However, in a way, she considered this dark male to be teaching her something. Not so much a skill, but what she could figure the people within this pack to be like. He wasn't scary, but not completely good, either. "Kind of like.. Me." Although she didn't find any of the things she said to be bad-- Everyone else seemed to take it that way. In her old pack, she had once had one of the members refer to her as a 'demon'. She did not know what this word meant herself, however, mama had reacted very harshly to it. Her mother had even bit the canine! What a strange site it was. She had always thought of her mum to be cool tempered and gentle-mannered.. At all times other than when she was doing bad things with the higher ranking members, of course. So by this backlash, she knew the word was probably not very nice.


The woman had approached on some sort of hooved beast. It reminded her of a deer because of its' feet. But it was so much larger! The two had approached quickly, which made sense. This yellow furred female most likely couldn't move as fast in her Optime as she could in her regular form, so this animal was an aid.

In her previous pack, the adults were in their lupus almost all the time. Occasionally her mom had changed in to her full form in order to hold her two pups while breast feeding, but otherwise, they hardly shifted. "No one to fear," The small dog replied, her ears flopping slightly as she nodded again. She responded only to the female even after both of the canines spoke, since the black wolf's words didn't seem to be directed towards her, anyways. "I-I.. I was supposed to 'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'.. But I did," The wolfdog looked away from the two beings, turning her gaze to a nearby tree. It was the first time she had to speak about being rejected by those she held closest aloud.. "they told me to go." When she drew her eyes back to meet the woman's gaze, she made sure to re-flatten her long ears against her skull. "I don't want to be alone. I can't really hunt, and I get real scared at night. But, like I told him," She stopped to tug her head at the direction of the black wolf to signal that she was referring to him, "When I get big, I can help. I'll pay you guys back if you'll be my new family!"

They say shes a demon,

Aeron smiled at Malakai and patted her horse. She had to admit that the stallion was a good partner. She moved to the saddle bag and reached into it. Malakai are you loyal to me? She asked looking at the male as she pulled out a knife. Looking at the child she smiled Your old pack didn't want you what makes you think we want you child? She asked moving closer to the girl holding the knife in her hand.

Malakai will you stand behind her. The coy woman spoke as she struck the knife across her own paw. The smell of blood bubble up as aeron looked at the girl. A toothy grin laced her face. So you will pay me back if I take you in? She asked looking at her. Well then maybe our Allu will teach you loyalty to me. She spoke looking at Malakai. Your paw please. Aeron said bending down so she was at the childs level.

Malakai was quiet now - Aeron was his Alpha and even he knew to submit to her, to show her the upmost respect in all things. As the youngster answered Aeron, about not being afraid, Kai's muzzle broke once more into a hint of a grin - she was brave, this pup, he could tell. At least, when she grew a little bigger and a little older, he knew she would be fearless. Something deep down inside of him swelled at the prospect and it was such an odd things. This pup was nothing to do with him, not of his blood or kin and yet when he thought of taking the pup in, of teaching her, watching her grow, helping to mould her, a sense of pride within him flared.

As his name was spoken by Aeron, Kai's eyes lifted to her and he nodded immediatly. "Yes, Angela, I am loyal to you and to the pack. You know I am loyal." And he was. Kai would do anything for his pack, he would do things that most others would back away from. As he was asked to move behind the pup, the male nodded and obeyed quickly, circling around until he came to a stop behind Leilah as instructed, watching as Aeron sliced her paw, his eyes dancing as the scent of blood drifted around them. He knew what was coming and it made him grin a little more. His ears perked as the Angela spoke to him once more, mentioning that he could teach her loyalty towards Aeron - was that Aeron's way of giving him guardianship of the pup? Maybe not quite that far, but it was a hint that he would help teach her, help guide her as she grew. Once more, that feeling of pride expanded within him as his eyes cast down to the girl. Aeron had asked for her paw and he watched closely to see if she would do as she was asked, bowing his head just a little as a sign of encouragement if the girl happened to look behind to him.

"I'll be good," At first, the dog thought this woman was mocking her with her questions. She didn't seem to have a warm tint to her words like the wolf did.. For a moment, her hopeful mood was dirtied with fear. Le lowered her head, aiming her eyes at her chest. She took in a deep breath, then brought her head back up. When the Angela spoke to the other grown-up, she referred to him as Malakai. She glanced back at the man, both putting a face to the name and looking for reassurance.

Leilah wrinkled her nose when she smelt the blood. Usually she found the crimson liquid to have an alluring smell, but this was not the case when it came to the blood of other canines. She observed as the yellow coyote drew this silver blade across her hand, inflicting avoidable harm to herself. She found it a bit confusing, but as she thought more about the matter, she realized it was similar to when she had gotten her nose clamp. This piece of jewelry did not penetrate the skin, but it was still painful at first. "It has to be very tight in order for it not to fall off" her mother had said. The reasoning they had given her for the gold coloured object was that it would make her very beautiful. She had such trust in her family that she never again questioned them about it afterwards.

Could she trust this girl, too? Leilah was uncertain of the answer. Malakai stood behind her, "To stop me from leaving?" She wondered. The threat of pain would throw most off, but she simply recognized it as a necessity. Le lifted her paw, offering it to the lady. A feeling of unsureness surged through her, but as quickly as the emotional response began, it went away. If she hoped for these people to take her in, she had to allow herself to be vulnerable. It felt like she was baring her stomach to a hungry beast, and it was hard to suspect what would happen next. Would Angela cut her too, or decorate her fur with the blood? Either way, it seemed like some sort of a joining ritual.

They say shes a demon,

Aeron looked at the little girl as she knelt there. Now I'm going to make a little cut in your paw. Aeron spoke looking at her. The girl would grow indeed and then she would have a whole load of choices for herself. This is known as the Rite of Agares, I'll place my cut on top of yours and mix our blood making you one of us. She spoke holding the girls paw. Taking the knife she sliced the pad of her paw. Putting the knife in the ground Aeron looked at her.

Placing her paw on the girl's To me and your family you will always be loyal She spoke. The young child would not need to fear a thing here. Removing her paw Aeron stood up. She grapped her belt of weapons from Elzar's Bag. She tied it around her as she picked the knife up. You have many choices here girl. I do how ever advise you to find those you can trust. Not all my members are nice. Many have killed, raped, or run here for not belonging anywhere else. She spoke looking down to her. Malakai Escort our young one into the pack. Let harm come to her and I'll mount you on my wall. She spoke flashing the male a toothy grin. Bring her to my mate Charm if you'd like I'm sure she'd love to meet her. Plus the woman is a natural mother. she finished pulling herself onto the steed.

WC:: 712 - OOC Points - 7. Welcome to the pack!


Kai's gaze swept over Aeron as she drew the dagger and cut her palm swiftly, knowing that it meant the pup was being accepted into the pack and knew that the next step was to cut her paw in the same way. As the Blood Ritual was done and Aeron's paw pressed to Leilahs, a smile drifted its way over Malakai's muzzle. She was family now, bound by blood to Anathema. As Aeron spoke of those within her pack who were of a darker nature, Kai's ears flattened a little in submission. Kai had killed, he was an outcast from his own pack, chased out by his own father for the murder of his brother, Rafael. Anathema had saved him in a way, and he had a lot to be thankful to the pack and its members for.

His instruction was clear from his Alpha, and he nodded firmly in reply to Aeron. He was to take the young pup into the heart of Anathema and deliver her to Charm who would no doubt be given the responsibility of guardianship of the girl. His feral eyes followed the Angela as she mounted her horse once more. "Yes, Aeron." It wasn't often that Malakai was so respectful or obedient, but towards his Alpha, he was always this way. His attention returned to the pup, the newest member of the pack and moved around from his position behind her, nudging her a little with his head to encourage her to move into the pack lands and to follow him.

His gaze briefly returned to Aeron before she headed off. "I'll take her to your den and deliver her to Charm. I'll make sure she is kept safe, Aeron. She won't come to any harm in my care" Glancing back to the pup, he issued a brief snort to her and jerked his head a little, getting her to move with him.


Kai began walking with Leilah, glancing back to her every once in a while to ensure she was still there, looking her over as she moved. For one so young, he was impressed with her spirit and fire and knew that when she got a little older, she would be a good asset to the pack. "Aeron is your new Alpha. She's known as the Angela. She is your God now, Kid. If she tells you to do something, you do it without question, because anything she wants you to do if for your own good or for the good of the pack." As they walked towards the Howling Caverns, Malakai thought of all the information he was given when he first joined the pack but he figured that if he was to escort the pup to Charm, she would want to give the girl the pack-joining talk herself as well as sort her out with a place to sleep.

As they reached the caverns, he led Leilah down into the dark caves and pointed out a few places on the way, like the common room, the library and storage rooms, before he took her into the hallway of dens. Kai walked towards his own den and glancing to the pup, jerked his head lightly towards the mouth of his own sparcely decorated den, furnished with little more than a few fur rugs on the floor and a small bedside table, with an empty small cabinet for weapons. Kai didn't need much in the way of material things. "This den is mine. If you need me for anything... Just come and find me here, okay, Kid? Or if I'm not here, just ask someone nearby for Kai." He gave her a minute to get her bearings as to the location of his den - second on the left along the left hand hallway - before he turned and followed the hallway along until he emerged once more outside of the caves. Turning, he made off to head towards Thackery Village where the Alpha's house was located. The journey was fairly short and approaching Charms place, Kai sniffed the air a little and poked his head towards the door and glanced back to the pup, encouraging her to step up and into the Alpha's territory, offering her something of a reassuring nod and smile.

Wahh, didn't get to proof read this all the way yet. But I wanted to get it up!

She didn't really feel the incision at first. She lowered her eyes as she watched the blood slowly seep from the wound, then into the ground bellow. Most of it sunk through but once the Earth had absorbed all it could, a small red puddle started to form. Leilah kept her eyes on the dirt, watching with a quizzical face. "Where did it all go?" In cases she had examined, things only took in what they needed. She consumed food because it kept her tummy from rumbling.. But what would the Earth do with blood? The sting of the mixing of the two canine's blood brought ripped her away from her thoughts, snapping her back to reality with a jolt.

Leilah couldn't help but feel strange about the things that they called her. She didn't believe that she had ever mentioned her name to the Angela, but Malakai she was sure she had. Yet he still referred to her as 'kid'. After contemplating these names for a few minutes, she came to believe that it must be similar to when papa had called her mom "honey,". She knew her mom was not a candied, sugary substance that bees made-- But mom had said it meant that she was sweet.

This was so much more land to explore then she was used to. She believed that her family did own a lot of land, but they usually stayed within one small area. Never once had she been allowed to venture out of the eye sight of a member of her pack. Every time that she would grow curious and start to wander a little further than usual, the adults would scare her back into order with stories of hairless monsters and evil sprites. She heard the directions her alpha directed at the man, but did not understand the threat that followed. Shrugging off the part she did not understand, the young dog just heeded to what she was told.

At the sound of Malaki's snort, Leilah took off after him. She almost stumbled over her own legs, and looked up shyly upon reaching his side. "Okay," She said, responding to his insisting about following the Alpha's instructions. "What is raped?" Asked the girl, referring to the previous statement Aeron had made about it. After giving him a few minutes to answer that question, she struck again. "What's charm like?" She questioned further, looking up at his face to ensure it would match his response. After this, she stopped talking. His words about his home were with nods, but after that, she just followed.

When they finally reached their stop, she could feel butterflies dancing in her tummy. She entered the house slowly, her tummy low to the ground. Her tail was tucked between her legs now. Not out of fear, but respect. Meeting the alpha was completely different than being welcomed into their home. She never had to show this respect to her parents, but this was dissimilar.

WC:: 277 - OOC Sorry if I have jumped in before my turn


As the young pup asked him what 'raped' was and what Charm was like, Malakai had kept explanations brief - he had told her that 'raped' was something bad that was sometimes done to females by males to assert their dominance but that she needent worry about it happening to her because she was part of their pack now and Anathema looked out for its members. He had also told the pup that Charm was nice and that she was Aeron's mate and that she would provide her with whatever she might need. Kai told Leilah that she would enjoy spending time with Charm and to make sure she was polite and respectful to her, just like she would always be towards Aeron herself.

As the female youngster cautiously made her way towards the house, Kai moved to the door with her to offer her his support but just as she had been about to enter, his large head lowered and he nudged it against the pup gently as if to get her attention. "Remember to be polite to Charm and do as you're told, Leilah. I've done as Aeron asked me to do. I'll come back in a little while to make sure you're okay." Not that he thought that the pup wouldn't be okay in Charm's care... "In the meantime, if you want me for anything, I'll be outside near the borders, so you can just call for me, and I'll be able to hear you." He gave the pup one last look over before nudging his head against her once more, this time to say goodbye, before he turned and sauntered away, his part done.
