The Upper Cliffs {Pack Borders}

Silently and swiftly the dark female made her way up the treacherous cliffs, her paws daftly maneuvering and finding foot holds that didn't seem to be there. Like a creature born from the mountain itself Rayen continued upward toward the owner of the howl, having lived here and retained the territory for a long time before wolves began to join her Rayen had come to know the Upper Cliffs like the back of her paw; Able to traverse them even in darkness. Upon reaching the path where the stranger's scent started down a particularly loose trail Rayen carefuly picked her way down, looking to all the world as if she were merely strolling down a flat expance of land without a care in the world.

Although she made it look easy the going was hard and even she had to be cautious as to where she put her footing, with the earlier rains the land was still loose, ready to come crashing down at the slightest provocation. Reaching the area where the path had given way causing the female to tumble to the earth 20 feet bellow Rayen halted, standing as close to the edge as she dared the large wolf looked down at the stranger. She would not risk climbing down within range of those teeth until she knew this wolf's intentions . "You better watch your step," She said, "these paths like to fall out from under you."

Celeste quickly trotted after the pack leader. Once Celeste caught the scent of another unfamiliar wolf, her black fur stood up on her neck. Celeste's ears were now perked up high on her head and she soon realized that it was another trespasser indeed. Celeste relaxed her fluffy, black tail and simply glared firmly with her large, round yellow glowing eyes at the stranger wolf. Celeste kept her distance now from the pack leader and the unfamiliar wolf. Celeste grew irritated and snorted loudly to herself. "Guess I should head back, I don't want to get in this situation..", Celeste thought.
Instead, Celeste sat down near by the scene where the wolves were. Celeste glared again, this time longer at the wolf. Celeste thought some more to herself, "What a large population this pack has indeed", Celeste said with a chuckle and waited for the confrontation to be over so she could introduce herself to the wolf.

Willow perked up."So this is the alpha," Willow thought with a little shame, "I should have shown more respect." She then lowared her head and tuck her tail. "I'm sorry I did not show you the proper respect, I didn't know you were alpha." She looked at the wolf Rayen who was now sitting and apparently did no longer see her as a threat. "but I would like to join in your pack, I'm good in the pack for hunting and for caring for pups." She was not sure what else to say so she waited for a reply from Rayen and the second wolf sitting a ways away.

Terry had been running after Rayen and Celeste at first but was now picking his way slowly up the cliffs. Soon he reached the wolves he had been following, he went up to stand at a respectable distance beside Rayen, and saw what she was looking at, another new wolf, the alpha didn't seem to be threatened by the wolf, so neither was he. "And who might this be?" he asked.

Terry felt embarrassed as he remembered about the other wolf, (Celeste) he turned around to face the female and found that she was quite large and strong looking. He couldn't help but admire her for a moment before saying, "pardon me, miss. I'm Terry, I just joined this pack earlier. Might I ask for you're name?" he watched her and waited for an answer.

"Nice to meet you too, Celeste, I look forward to being in a pack with you," he gave her a friendly nod then turned back to the stranger 20 feet below. He gestured to Celeste for her to stand beside him.
