The male had not been thinking too much about what he should or should not be doing as the newest alpha to Abendrot. It had all happened very suddenly, and he was not expecting it to occur at all. He was now realizing how lucky he was that he had been raised the way he was, or he might not have any clue at all what to do. His father had always trained him and taught him how to be a good leader, just like his father had been. Grey Wind knew that he had not turned out to be the type of varg that his father would have wanted him to be, but if his father was still around then things would have turned out very differently. The world was a harsh and a cruel place and it didn’t matter how his father had raised him. His father was dead. His mother was dead. Most of his siblings were dead. The good and just wolf that he had been when he was much younger was dead too, that part of him had died when was forced to leave his home and come to Blossom all those years ago. And now he was the alpha of a pack that he had considered his family and home for a long time.

As the male looked on at the female at his borders, he never thought it would be as the alpha, never thought he would be introducing himself that way. Plume held high, yellow orbs watching her every move in case her nonthreatening demeanor were to change suddenly. She stood, stretching her form out, before introducing herself to him. "My name is Katniss, I'm from Malignant Felicity and I was wondering if your pack would be interested in an alliance with Malignant?" The words were ones that surprised him. Grey Wind had not thought about going out and forming alliances. He was still new to the leadership position and he wanted to make sure that the wolves in his own pack were taken care of first. But, a good alpha was one that realized that having alliances could be very beneficial. With the type of reputation that Abendrot had, he was not expecting many packs to line up to be friendly with them. But Malignant Felicity had a similar reputation to his pack. Perhaps it did make sense that the two packs became allies?

The brute’s paws stepped forward, lessening the distance between them as he thought on her words. He did think that it was strange that Lucifer, another new alpha, had not traveled out with Katniss to set up an alliance. Did that show that he already trusted his wolves enough to speak on his behalf, or that he didn’t care about the alliance to come himself? "Well, Katniss. What is it that Malignant Felicity can offer my pack?”
