As d'Mani spoke, she spoke with a hope in her voice, an optimism that was just contagious. Her hopefulness made Apache all the more certain that this new pack would become reality, and that d'Mani would join become just as loyal of a member as Apache was. He nodded at her question of a new pack. Yes, it was time for a new pack to rise from the instability of the others. However, her question of whether or not he led made Apache feel a bit guilty, reminding him of the World Peace Center. He had a duty. Find Peacekeeper and take the territory. Becoming a beta was not a good step in these directions.

I will not be leading this pack. I have sworn loyalty to a wolf known as Sulan, Apache responded, -and we have land that we are preparing to gain control over. Based off of my information, it is on a coastline of the sorts. Or perhaps a river.

And again he fell silent, while d'Mani spoke. Her smile nearly spread to Apache, who was already warming up to d'Mani as she warmed up to him, and he was very happy with the fact that she wanted to be part of the new pack. Trust me, d'Mani, it is not I who is the peaceful one, it is Sulan, Apache stated, -but we always need defense and intelligence, and I'm certain you can be some pretty good intelligence. Welcome to the new pack, d'Mani.
