Thud... Thud... Thud...
Twigs and leaves crunch with each heavy pawstep, as the alpha makes his way though the tangled mess off fallen trees and boulders.
His muzzle is held to the ground by the scent of prey; a stag, young and injured, too. The scent grows stronger by the moment, anticipation takes it's grip upon the male as his prey comes into sight. With a flick of his tail the beast leaps upon the stag's back with feline grace. The final strike comes swiftly, fresh crimson stains Haiku's pure pelt.

Shialun watched Hiaku eat the prey. That was a nice catch... She thought as she stepped out into the clearing. "Hello, I'm Shialun. May I join this pack?" She asked, not waiting for him to look up at her. She stood up tall, though that was still short for her meager body.

The Alpha's muzzle dripped with the blood of his kill, lifting his slender head Haiku's amber eyes surveyed the female without a word.
She was a slender creature, sweet, even delicate by appearance, yet this wolf radiated power beyond that of many a male... "Shialun. I don't recall hearing of you before." he replied, tossing the words into the air in a rather a careless manner.

"That's because you haven't." She said with a stale face. She looked at him with no expression on her face, then smiled. "My pack just recently died out, I'm the only one left." She said, and sat down in the dirt.

"Hmph. You must be strong enough, then. Can't say much for you old pack though, I find it hard to believe that they were all slaughtered by... twolegs..." he spat the final word, his jaw clenched as his amber eyes fixed upon his own broad paws.
With a flick of his tail Haiku rose to his paws, stepping away from the carcass. He'd barely eaten any of his kill. "Hungry?" he muttered, gesturing towards the creature's limp form. Haiku was not usually one for sharing his work, but it was really basic canine etiquette.
"I am known as Haiku, Alpha of the Shadow Pack... or what's left of it. You see, I had a slight... difference of opinion with the other pack leaders and we may have had a minor fallout..." he smirked, a rather blank expression.

Shailun smiled, for she was far hungrier than she thought, and started to eat delicatley. "Well, my pacl thought they couldn't be stopped by anything. THey didn't like me much, and thought I was the weak one. Guess that shows them who is boss. Well, not here but you get my point." SHe said with a mouthful. He was suprisingly easy to talk to. But that wouldn't stop Shailun's suspis=ion for new wolves.

"Nothing could stop them..." Haiku murmured, shaking his head, and for but a single moment, showing a slight sign of remorse, as if recalling something from the distant past...
"I suppose you're in, Shailun, if you wish, that is." he spoke, with deliberate carelessness, attempting to hide his smile.

Shialun smiled and bowed to the alpha. "Thank you." SHe said and pleasently looked into his eyes. "Thank you for your pity." She said with gratitude.

Haiku nodded diligently, standing tall, he turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" She asked, and watched him leave, not thinking to follow. Then she came to her sences and ran after him, following his every step.

"I have... other matters to attend to. The caves are but 100km or so down that track, I suggest you go and make yourself at home." Haiku replied, he regretted having to leave so soon, though tried not to show it.

"Oh..." Shialun said and slunk her tail between her legs. "Alright then... So, bye for now?" She said sadly, and regretted her tone.

"I shan't be long." he smiled slightly, exposing an array of broken, bloodstained fangs. He turned upon his hocks, tail flicking in a feline matter as his muzzle sunk low to the ground. "I have to think..." he muttered.
Such strength, such pride and spirit. Perhaps... perhaps she could become our Alphess? Yet, only if she can handle such a pack, that is... perhaps..."

Shailun pouted as she started her way to the dens, going in the direction Haiku pointed out. She walked fast, keeping a steady pace. She watched her soroundings, memorizing them as she walked, a good thing to do in a new pack. She looked up from her daydreaming to see the dens. Wow, nice, they are pretty... She thought and picked the den beside Hiaku's.
It was a bright day, perfect for joining a new pack. SHe looked back from where she came. I hope he comes back soon... She thought and rested her head on her paws in her new den.
