Each day brought cooler weather, blissful winds and frost bitten mornings. Summer had ended and fall was in full bloom. The forests had sprung alive with color, looking as if the tree tops were on fire or radiating gold. Some trees had already lost all of their leaves, while others stood proudly in their fall glory. Night came sooner, bringing with it even colder evenings that made Kiara feel as if her blood was alive. Summer was over, and so was the heat. There would be no need to spend her days sulking under the trees. She could run as much as she wanted without risking overheating and the bounty of fish that the fall provided was enough to satisfy the female for a lifetime.


Kiara loped easily through the sunrise meadow, her bright form clear against the tall grass. As she approached the center of the field, the huntress crouched down, allowing the meadow to cover her completely. White ears stood forward, straining as they listened to the sounds of squawking crows. Her nose twitched as she counted the number of individual scents. There were at least six birds in the field, all blissfully unaware of the lurking predator. A mischievous smirk crossed her maw as she crept forward, inching towards the birds. She could hear their beaks clicking against the ground and their talons scraping against the earth in search of bugs and other such tiny creatures.


The arctic female had been lax about her games, and the crows had become accustomed to a sense of peace. Even though she was no longer a pup, Kiara was not about to give up her chases. The female stooped only a couple feet away from the crows, sapphire eyes peering between the stalks as eyed her quarry. A beady black eye scrutinized her hiding spot for a moment and she could practically see the bird's thoughts as it wondered if there was anything just out of sight. The moment the crow looked away, Kaira pounced.


Panicked crowing and the flutter of wings filled the air as six black bodies took to the skies. Scrunching her muscles, Kiara lept into the air, twisting as she snapped at the tail feathers of the black birds. They screamed at her, circling above her head as she laughed gaily. One crow dived, it's beak aiming straight for her head. Kiara ducked, only to jump again and snap at the passing bird. Her fangs just managed to brush against the crow's soft body as it slid away without sustaining any damage. Not one to be disheartened, she gave chase, snapping at the air whenever a crow came too close.

Tharin was completely and utterly miserable. Yet another female in New Dawn had gone into heat. Life was easier in the arctic. All the females went into heat at the same time. He only had to wait a single season before the torment was over. Here though, it never seemed to end. He'd get a couple weeks respite, and then someone else would have their turn in season. It didn't help that he was now the beta, with Zalen trusting him with many of the pack's needs. Even worse, it meant that Zalen might see him as a threat if he went sniffing around females that were in heat. He'd already gotten into plenty of trouble when Adonia had entered heat, not that he'd known that she'd been Zalen's female.

The scent did make him edgy in a way that was difficult to run off. He hunted, he patrolled, he did everything that he could think of to take off the restless need that was burning inside him. Tharin had already run a good distance, even leaving New Dawn for a stretch before turning back around. Growling softly to himself he walked through, heading for the meadow. It was a nice peaceful place, thanks to Fayne's constant presence. Thinking of her normally cooled him down, since she was such a gentle spirit. Not even that was working today. His thoughts turned to Kiara, of what she would think if one of these times he just gave in. The sorrow on her face had been painful the last time. He could picture her, smell her. It would be another splinter in him, even though he didn't know why it hurt...

The cry of various crows brought him out of it, realizing that he really was smelling Kiara. Tharin trotted over to where she was, watching curiously as she chased after the birds. It looked like she was having an amazing time. With fall coming she wasn't sweltering in the heat either. Tharin trotted up to her, watching her active form. She was beautiful. The burning urge to sate himself swelled up again. Possessively he trotted up to Kiara, nuzzling against her and tugging at her body.

Kiara had somehow managed to ignore the numerous number of females that went into heat. Their scent could be maddening, even for other females. Yet, perhaps it was because she was the female that Kiara wasn't affected as much. Once away from the pack den and in the open fields where the scent didn't permeate, the arctic female was able to forget that a wolf was in heat. It was difficult though. There were times where it felt like the luperci went into heat one right after another with absolutely no breaks. Why was that?


Heat or not, didn't matter. All that mattered at the moment was how badly she could scare the crows and avoiding their angry beaks. Kiara yelped as one of the birds managed to grab hold of her ear and tugged a couple fur offs. Growling, she twisted and got a mouthful of feathers, causing the poor bird to squawk as it flew away. Triumphantly, she spit the feathers out and paused as the crows flew in circles around her. They cried both in low speech and in high speech. While Kiara could not understand their avian speak, some choice words did come across in high speech.


The arctic wolf's tail wagged jovially behind her, and a grin stretched across her face. Defeated, the crows flew off with what feather's they had left. Kiara cocked her head as she watched them go, wondering if it would be worth it to give chase. The approach of Tharin's scent made her descision instantaneous. Turning, Kiara smiled and lowered her tail respectfully. Sure she had been upgraded to the Epsilon rank, but Tharin would alway be higher than her. He was her beta now, the protecter and overseer of the pack.


The silver male trotted towards Kiara, his brown eyes burning. Whining happily, the snowy female licked Tharin's muzzle and nuzzled against him as he nuzzled against her. However, something was different. Kiara paused as she felt Tharin's possessive tugs. "Tharin?"

Kiara's submission sent Tharin to arch himself even higher, almost showing off for her as he held his ears and tail high, coming over and rubbing against her. He had earned this rank. He was a strong male, a powerful hunter and a decent warrior. He wasn't as good as Augustus, but he had been working on it. He would do what was necessary for the pack. Kiara licked at his muzzle, Tharin taking the time to rub against her and lick at her own, slightly rougher than his normal licks with his eager need burning.

Kiara... His voice was rough with desire, moving along her body. She didn't smell of heat, but it wasn't stopping him. It was strange, wanting to mount her even with the knowledge that no pups could come of it. I want you. His words were straight to the point, as always. He didn't waste time talking sweetly to her, or telling her how he could make her happy. Kiara was the perfect female for him, and that was all that was in his mind. I'll make a good mate.

The delicate dance of submission and dominance between Kiara and Tharin was normal. They took the same roles almost every time and would always return to the same conclusions. Kiara was submissive and Tharin was dominant, yet this time was different. The arctic female submitted as normal, but Tharin's reaction to her was almost extreme. His tail arched higher and his ears held high. Tharin's entire body was on edge and his display, while impressive, was unusual. There was an air of pride and satisfaction in his performance, showing off his strength and health.


Kiara could almost feel his need as he rubbed against her, pushing her slightly so that she had to side step to keep balance. When his voice came, there was a quality to it that she had never heard before. Sure, the heat of another put most of the pack members on edge, but Tharin was acting as if Kiara was the one in heat. His words were straight and too the point, crossing the invisible line that they had been teetering on for a long time.


A serious air surround the alabaster wolf and her sapphire eyes scrutinized Tharin. Kiara allowed him to rub against her, his larger and stronger body moving against hers. Yet her own body was stiff as her mind ran through the implications and consequences of Tharin's actions. Last time she had chosen a mate, it had ended with the male disappearing once her womb was full. The fact that Lucia and Kohaku remained alive was a miracle. But Tharin was not Alonso. Tharin had proven himself around pups and had proven himself as a hunter. He was the beta male, making their union very precarious. What if Zalen thought it was a challenge to his rank? Any non-shifter would assume so, but what about the luperci? If they mated, would they be thrown out?


The snowy female's mind reeled as she thought of Tharin and the pack. Any female would be lucky to have Tharin as a mate, and he was pursuing her. If Kiara chose to wait, she might loose him. If she chose to continue, she might loose the pack. With the decision before her decided to watch and wait. If only for a moment. If Tharin tried to mount her or get to close to her rear, she would let loose a warning growl. She needed to be absolutely sure.

Kiara stepped delicately to the side, the larger male overpowering her. Tharin checked himself slightly, continuing to nuzzle along her. He didn't want to knock her over. He couldn't mount her if she was on the ground. Tharin kept stepping around, breathing in her scent. She didn't have the intoxicating heat scent that was driving him crazy, though it did linger in his own fur from being by the dens. He had made sure to keep his distance from Sky, not wishing to end up attempting to mount her. He didn't care for the cocky female, and as great as it would feel to force her submission he did not want to mount her.


Kiara's body was stiff, unsure of him. Tharin turned back around, licking at her muzzle, pawing at her body almost playfully. I'm a strong hunter. Whining he nuzzled her, remaining as dominant as before, yet requesting permission to continue. She seemed to be accepting his advances as he trotted along, boastful in his movement as he ran his head along her back. Closer and closer to the back he moved. Lower ranked members have mated... He should mate as well. He was the beta. He deserved the female he chose.

Tharin's larger body trailed along hers, nuzzling and prodding hers. Kiara eyed him as she would a snake, unsure of what to do about it. Would she bite his head off, or leave him be? Despite her lack of heat scent, the large male was more than ready to go, and Kiara couldn't bring herself to blame him. Just as she was about to issue a warning, Tharin turned around and gently licked her muzzle and began to paw at her playfully. It was almost impossible for her to keep a straight face and the corner of lips tugged upwards.


A questioning whine broke from Tharin, his dominance remained as did his respect for her. Should he continue? Slowly, Tharin tested the waters and all the while Kiara eyed him. One ear followed Tharin the entire time as she thought about his request. The one questioned that mattered most though, was perhaps the one most easily answered. Tharin would make an excellent mate and his behavior was proving it. Closer and closer her moved to her rear as he spoke of his merits and reasons. Finally, Kiara relaxed. Her muscles smoothed down and her gaze softened.


In an almost flirtatious turn, Kiara pawed at Tharin's side an nipped him playfully. Her tail wagged for a moment as she head butted him. Smiling, Kiara slid her tail to the side, revealing herself and showing that she was ready to accept him as her mate. Sure she wasn't in heat and the action would do nothing, but it somehow seemed right. Perhaps the luperci behaviors were getting to them, or perhaps it was the heat scent that filled the air. Either way, they were both in for a crazy turn of events.

His playful actions were returned as Kiara relaxed. His tail went into a complete frenzy, realizing that she had accepted his suit. They would be mates. He let her push against him playfully, low whines escaping him along with short growls of excitement. He wanted this. He was pretty sure Kiara wanted this too, even if it wasn't her season. He just needed her at the moment, too wound up from being around females sliding into heat one after another.


Her tail flagged, and Tharin didn't hesitate. Immediately he wrapped his frame around her and mounted her back. He was larger than her, so had to take care to balance his weight to not overwhelm her. Excited he nuzzled into her scruff and took a firm grip of it before thrusting forwards. He felt himself enter her, smooth and warm. The intoxicating scent that normally filled the air for such actions was lacking, but he knew that he wanted it with her, and not with Sky.

This has to be the worlds most unromantic thread ever XD

Kiara and Tharin had been friends for a long time, their relationship as close as any other pack member. Yet, the transition from pack members to mates felt flawless and went smoother than Kiara would have expected. Things just seemed to click into place. Tharin was a good choice. He was strong and healthy, his dominance and success within the pack only an added bonus. Tharin was sure to provide Kiara with strong pups and unlike Alonso, would be there for her just as he was for Lucia and Kohaku.


The silver male's joy was apparent when Kiara accepted his suit and Tharin wasted no time. As he climbed on top of her, the tiny female could feel Tharin's excess weight. He wasn't like Alonso who had been nearly equal in stature to Kiara. Tharin was much, much bigger. Her muscles tensed as she began to support his weight, shifting slightly so that it would be easier on her. Even Tharin had to adjust his positioning before staring. Just as they would if she was in heat, the silver wolf nuzzled her scruff and took hold of it, sending a surprising rush of energy through her.


When Tharin entered, it wasn't as pleasing as her previous experience, which was probably due to the fact that Kiara wasn't in heat. Still, she couldn't describe the act as unpleasant and towards the end even enjoyed it. Patiently she waited, letting Tharin ride out his excess energy.

OOC agreed


His actions were steady, thrusting back and forth inside her. There was a lot of pent up energy inside him, working it's way off through his actions. He knew that Kiara was the perfect choice for a mate, and the heat from the other females only drew him closer to her. He finally understood why he had been feeling guilty for almost mounting Adonia. It hadn't been her he'd wanted to mount, but Kiara. Now he had her in his grasp.


For him it was pleasurable and exciting, if without the heady scent that truly pushed him forwards. He felt himself swell, letting out a low growl as their bodies locked together. His tail wagged as he finally released her scruff, licking affectionately at her ears. Carefully he twisted down. He couldn't go far from her, not that he wished to. He could stay with her for a while, just soaking in her company and the fact that he finally had the mate he desired.

Finally, a mate she could rely on. One that would be dependable and capable of understanding her. The connection between Tharin and Kiara was a lot deeper than the one she shared with Alonso. It was more than the physical, there was trust and understanding between them. Tharin had proven himself and would make an excellent mate and provide Kiara with strong pups. Tharin was her's and her's alone. She wouldn't have to worry about any other female taking the silver beta. Kiara whined, twisting her head as Tharin reached his climax. There would be no puppies from the union, but it seemed to matter little at the moment. All that mattered, was that they were finally together.


Inside her, Tharin expanded, locking the two wolves together for a period of time. Tharin's jaws released Kiara's scruff and she felt his gentle licks. Kiara squirmed a bit, wishing she could turn to face him and return the gesture. However, it was no use and became even more so as Tharin twisted down, forcing the two to stand back to back. Almost as an after thought, the snowy female muttered,"We are going to have to tell Zalen..." Her voice trailed off and was soon replaced by giggles. If things didn't work out, they were going to get into huge trouble.

His ear perked up at Kiara's words. He hadn't thought of that. All that had been going through Tharin's mind was how much he wanted Kiara at that moment. Realizing he'd have to inform the alpha was a fact he'd just have to deal with. Later, when he wasn't in such a relaxed mood. Heading over to Zalen smelling of sex guaranteed being pinned. He'd do it after it wore off a little. Tharin let out a low laugh himself, tail swaying. Hopefully they wouldn't be stuck like this for too long. He wanted to step over to nuzzle her.

It'll be fine. The subordinates have mates. It would be wrong in his mind to let the subordinates have mates yet deny the beta. Logical perhaps, as he could be seen as the biggest threat to the alpha's authority, but not something he wanted to dwell on. He had Kiara, and if Zalen chose to challenge him over that the alpha would finally find himself in a battle with the beta. He stood there for some time, waiting patiently. Feeling himself release Tharin stepped away with care. He didn't want to harm her. Grinning he trotted up to Kiara, licking at her face.
