Get with me if you want to move up in rank. I'm going to change up the pack tasks for a little change of pace.
Congratulations to Adrian on her promotion to Governess. She will handle the guidance and teaching of our young pups in Iromar.
If you have a ^ next to your name, that means you're up for promotion so see me or send me a message on Discord so we can see where to move you. All others interested in specializing or getting a rank, let me know so we can figure out how to make that happen.
The pack board has been updated. If you wanted to remain a member, let me know either on here or Discord and I'll get you back on the board. Otherwise, let's have a thread!
I know I had a couple replies for the training with Spirane so I will be starting that thread soon. Stay tuned!
I am still working on an alliance with Diveen and Asteraia so stay tuned. If you have any information or would like to help, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas to promote activity within the pack, also, let me know. I am open for plots and such! Meanwhile, thank you all for your continued support of the pack.

am i a monster when i sink my teeth into her?
Even she could not deny the allure of the fallen winter, even though she had been trying so desperately to avoid her Andras. It seemed folly to expect anything more to come of their union, for each child born to them had suffered as a disappointment time and time again. For that, she avoided him like as if he had sores, keeping her distance and seldom returning to their shared den. Still, she could not deny the burn that remained just below her skin, a frustrating presence that seemed relentless. She would avoid Andras, but that did not mean that she was required to avoid the others. Perhaps they could subdue it, at least in some small way.
With the coming of winter, the swamps had turned into an even drearier place; mist swirled endlessly up, and the melted snow turned the grounds into an even softer landscape. Even the alligators that littered the territory had slowed, seemingly disappearing into the depths of their waters in anticipation for the upcoming spring. If Iromar had appeared devoid of life before, then surely now it appeared as a desolate, endless plain of mist and dark reeds. She'd always been drawn to such a place, and even as she lurked its borders in frustration and anticipation, she could not speak ill of the swamps' allure. It was beautiful, even in the darkness of the night when so little of it remained illuminated. In a place so dark, she blended in so seamlessly.
She moved slowly across the bad lands of Iromar, her paws sinking into the earth with each step. Ahead, she could hear the faintest inkling of a breath, a ragged sound that cut through the silence. Like any good predator, every inch of her was directed towards such a hint; her ears stood tall, her eyes wide and eager as the hackles along her spine twitched and bristled. How easy it was for desires to change, and like the mist, her innards swirled with turmoil. Ahead, the still of the breeze only just brought her the scent of a male, and she felt her skin shiver with allure and yet, the promise of something else made her stomach twist in hunger. She did not swell with life this winter. Truly, there was little stopping her.
She continued forward, only pausing as she heard a snarl break through the darkness. Instantly, she responded with her own, a commanding sound that hissed through her teeth like steam. Her tail arched over her rump, her head dropping low as her body stiffened into the posture of one so domineering. Prey did not fight back - prey did not hiss and spit in retaliation. Had she been wrong? Had this male marked himself as something more than the promise of a belly swollen with carnage? For a moment, she remained in silence, her eyes focusing on the faintest of rim lights that illuminated the edges of the male's form. She, too, made an effort to re-position herself so that she might be better recognized, or rather so, her stance may be. After all, these were her territories and as per her creed, she would make no effort to initiate the first word even if her curiosity remained starved.
