Too much time. Too much time had passed, and it was making the Alpha weary. Her Father, Saladin, had still yet to show up back at the pack lands, and it seemed her once large and engaged family has dispersed and all but disappeared. Seline could have said the same for herself, but at this point the Queen was back and in full action; she had begun her patrol of the borders to the North first, rounding her path in a clock wise fashion to scout out the most Eastern border of the territory. There were still fading scents of her pack members, but most were several weeks old, if not a month or so old. This had the crimson and ivory cloaked princess slightly concerned for her home, but as was her duty it was up to her to keep up with the borders, and renew them as needed to stabilize the home that was Andere Seite. With a rather thick haze of fog settling upon the pines of this area of the territory, the Alpha felt as a blood drenched phantom, picking her way virtually silently and lethally through the soft pine bedding that the trees overhead graced the ground of the forest with. This was one of her favourite areas within her home, as movement could almost remain completely undetectable, save for if one happened upon an unlucky branch with an audible snap. But Seline made sure to stay clear of any possible disturbances, keeping her paw falls both light and delicate as she continued to make her patrols.
Coming up upon almost the exact border of the territory, dual scents suddenly alerted the Queen to two wolves up ahead, both of which held unfamiliar scents to her olfactory sense. Though, she could detect that one was female while the other was male; and that the female held scents of both Cade and Quirino with her. Ah, so her children had made themselves useful and had been helping out with chores about the pack land. Good, very good indeed, would be an adequate way to put Seline’s thoughts into words. The Mother was quite pleased with her offspring, who seemed to be growing up ever quickly with the changing seasons. It seemed that just yesterday the pair had been but little tykes, chubby and squat in all their youth and glory. Now the two of them had aged considerably, their limbs lengthening to the lanky stature of a young adult, their muzzles elongating and their minds maturing. They would made fine wolves in their prime, for that Seline was sure of. After all, it was virtually guaranteed within the Satanican blood line; they were the elite of the elite, after all. The princes and princess of the finest royalty. With her thoughts happily focused on her family, Seline continued her graceful steps through the pine forest until both wolves came into view of her bright emerald gaze, her attention immediately focused purely on the male. And what a magnificent specimen he very well was. A pristine alabaster coat gave way to no interruptions, save for the many crisscrossing scars lacing his hide. With eager and unwavering pleasure, the regal Queen took in the tundra gangsters posture and aura, her eyes making sure to roam every single inch of his body as she did so.
Enjoying what she was taking in, Seline closed the distance between herself and the wolves, her gaze slightly welcoming, but at the same time quite calculating and with a hint of mischievous nature to it. Without lack of pride, the Alpha did not approach the male from the front, but instead circled around him to his hind quarters, checking out all aspects of him as she did. When she rounded his opposite flank that she had begun at, she allowed her dark and sensual voice to slip off her tongue, her tones and lilt to her voice giving off the air of danger and invitation. “Well well, what do we have here? It seems a tundra boy has made his way to my land; tell me, what would you like here, boy? Acceptance, perhaps? Or looking for a bit of passing.. fun?” At her last word, a rather large and amused smile cracked its way across Seline’s muzzle, pulling her scars taunt and tight across the bone there, showing off her wicked and forever smile across her jaw. Little did she know the more than likely recognition the stranger male would feel at the sight of the fresh scars, but even if she did; nothing would stop her from reacting the way she typically would. With a last lingering glance on the boys darkly hued eyes, the Queen finally turned her attention to the female of the pair, the one holding her children’s scent on her coat. Meeting the lass’s amber hued gaze, she gave a formal and playful dip of her skull in greeting to her pack member, before an equally formal greeting slipped as silk past her dark lips. “Greetings, my dear. It seems my children have welcomed you into our wonderful home? Tell me, my sweet, what is your name, and where do you come from? I like to know my wolves well through and through, after all.” Whilst speaking, Seline had made her way off to the side of the pair, about a foot and a half away, but between the space of them so that she could gaze upon both at the same instance. Turning her bright venom gaze on the alabaster male once more, she did not hold her tongue as her curiosity continued to bubble up within her mind. “And you, my handsome stranger; tell me your name, and just where you come from as well. I’m simply dying to know.” That same amused smile had plastered its way across her jaw as she had gazed upon the stranger again, her bemusement getting the better of her as well as her pleasure. What could she say; the Queen enjoyed her followers, and by the looks of him; she knew the tundra bastard before her held much, much promise of satisfaction.
