The sun was beginning to rise over the tops of the trees as a large dark and light silver wolf emerged from a smooth, stone-walled dip in the earth. He shook a scrap of a dead leaf from his pelt drowsily, taking a deep breath of the cold, crisp air and extending his forelegs in a long stretch.
Although he had slept nearly have of the previous day, along with overnight, he still felt incredibly tired, and maybe a bit weak. The last time he had consumed any food was three days ago when he crossed the Meadow and managed to hunt down a scrawny deer fawn. Those three days seemed more like three weeks.
He lifted his head and scanned the area silently, his vivid green eyes taking everything in. The lush green grass was soaked with dew, and although the sun glowed halfway in the sky, the atmosphere remained cold and musky. His gaze flickered towards the horizon and at the snow-covered mountains. A few birds sang into the morning, and he heard a coyote's howl echo in the distance, but other than that, he couldn't help but feel...
Lonely.
Technically, he wasn't the only wolf around here. Darcia's Army lived in the Canyons, on the outskirts of Paradise. But like he'd ever want anything to do with that bastard; he killed his father. His mother. The entire paradise pack had been wiped out.
And now only Tsuki remained. He did the same daily routine over and over again. He'd fall asleep at night, wake up at dawn, stalk around Paradise's territory, as if searching for other wolves, hunt, then he'd just sit around the entire day and do absolutely nothing.
He had gotten into a bit of fighting action though, with one of Darcia's Guards. A young, lean black female by the name of Pendulum had wandered into the Paradise Territory; he sent her running out so fast her blood didn't have enough time to hit the ground. Tsuki smirked at the memory.
The silver wolf continued his day silently. He hunted, and managed to catch a plump rabbit, devouring it in small bites. It wasn't long after he was finished that a scent hit his nose; it was familliar, but also unfamilliar. No doubt about it, though, it was one of Darcia's Army Members, and it was female. Pendulum, again? It better not be. He curled his lip and stalked forward.
Almost immediantly he spotted a sleek black pelt among the green undergrowth, and spotted the flicker of a blue eye. At first he thought he was mistaken, and it could've been Darcia, but he noticed the wolf had a slender, small frame and both of her eyes were a frosty blue. Either way, she was still one of Darcia's wolves...
He snarled and burst through the trees, ramming into the wolf's shoulder. The other wolf let out a suprised yelp and twisted around, lunging underneath Tsuki and apearing on the other side of him. He blinked, confused, and his hesitation caused him to get pinned down to the ground by the female. He gave his head a fierce shake, his lip curling over his teeth to reveal pearly white fangs.
"Get the hell off me!" he growled, kicking out a backleg and sending her skidding backwards. The blue-eyed wolf merely staggered slightly, but kept on all four paws and glared at Tsuki defiantly. Tsuki glared back, hackles raised.
"Who are you!" he snapped in a rush, eyes flashing. The female wolf finally lost her defensive stance, taking a step back and dipping her head to him. Tsuki's eyes only narrowed even more. He finally got a better look at her; she was skinny, smaller-sized and slender, with a sleek black pelt. Her eyes were blue, and overtop of her left eye was a clawmark, which looked very fresh. Did he give that to her? No, he hadn't gotten the chance to rake his claws down her face, or anywhere else for that matter.
She sighed, "I'm Ravyn, and I'm from Darcia's Pack. You're a Paradise wolf, aren't you?" she asked hopefully. Tsuki growled.
"Canyon Wolf?" he muttered, taking a pace forward. He ignored her question completely, "If your from Darcia's Army, get the hell out of here!"
Ravyn frowned, then sighed in exsasperation, facing the large grey wolf. "Listen. I'm not on Darcia's side anymore. Darcia is my father, as well as my former leader. I wasn't treated fairly and I didn't intend on slaughtering innocent wolves for the sake of staying in the pack. Darcia doesn't technically even care for me and my sibling Razhia, nor did he care for our mother. He made her fall in love with him, and she did, and had his pups. But he only used her for breeding purposes to make the pack larger, and he killed my mother when he found out how 'useless' she was."
Tsuki's gaze was locked on her intently, his head tipped slightly. Was he supposed to attack her? Trust her? He found that hard, considering the fact that this wolf was the offspring of Darcia himself. What did she want exactly, anyways?
"Okay," He began, ears flattening to the side of his head thoughtfully, "But what do you want anyways?"
"To Join the Paradise Pack."
"There IS NO Paradise Pack!"
"Then why are you here? Besides, we could gather up more wolves to make a Paradise Pack! What happened to Kiba's kid, anyways? Blue's too!"
Tsuki glared at her slightly, but finally just sighed and shook his head, "Kiba sent his pregnant mate away from Paradise territory before he was killed by Darcia. Blue too, I believe, though Darcia eventually caught up to her and killed her as well. My sister and I were the only ones who stayed in Paradise. I-I don't know where Sukai is anymore. She left."
"Well then, let's find them!" Ravyn barked, her blue eyes glowing. She refrained from sighing when she noticed the silver and grey wolf narrowed his eyes at her again. She had never met more of a stubborn, suspicious wolf in her entire life.
"How do I know I can trust you?" he asked carefully. Ravyn rolled her eyes, "I never said you had to trust me, but you can atleast try. Besides, If I ever tried something against you, what would be the odds that I would win? You could defeat me without a moment's hesitation."
"Not the point."
"Then what is the point?"
"You could still secretly be working for Darcia," Tsuki explained, ears flicking, "You could be trying to gain my trust to lure me into some trap."
Ravyn spat at him, curling her lip in disgust, "No way! I would never work for him." Ravyn insisted. When Tsuki, who still looked completely unconvinced, said nothing, she sighed and continued, "C'mon. This is a chance to make Paradise something again. We could get a bunch of wolves that not even Darcia would want to mess with- hell, we could even get Kiba's daughter! or Blue's kids! Or your sister back!"
Tsuki's eyes glittered as he considered this. Finally, the male turned away, padding into the undergrowth as he spoke, "Fine. But if you do anything that makes me suspicious of you, I'll slit your throat."
And he meant it.
Ravyn dipped her head, trying not to roll her eyes, and followed after Tsuki without a word.

"Get OUT of here, Ayasha! We can't fight them off any longer! We've already lost most of our Beta's, and the pups are obvious targets!"
"Nonsense!" cried a silvery-white female wolf. She blinked constantly, trying to get rid of the blood that dripped quickly down into her glowing amber eyes. The reddish-brown wolf who had called to her cringed, his ears pinned back. Around them were the furious snarls of wolves, and the yelling of humans and the shooting of their guns.
"Please, Sanyue, fight them off!" Ayasha snarled, frustrated. Her pack has had to relocate several times because of different threats, ranging from humans to other, larger wolf packs. She wasn't about to lose her new territory so quickly- they had only moved into it a month ago!
Sanyue hesitated, before dipping his broad head, "Yes, Ayasha." He growled, whipping around and slamming his head into the nearest poacher's side. The human stumbled over and fell onto the ground uneasily. He furiously scrambled on the ground as he tried to get to his gun, which had fallen about a foot away from him, but his attempts were wasted as the massive red and brown wolf leaned down and clamped his jaws around the human's neck, pricking their throat with his fangs. It was over in seconds.
Meanwhile, three pups watched at the edge of the clearing, their eyes wide. Two were male, and the small one between them was female. One of the male pups, along with the female, looked terrified. The other, who was slightly older, looked nervous as well, but a different emotion clouded his striking fiery gaze; anger.
"Taini! Kaya! Oh, Naoki!" Came a whimper, and out rushed a sandy gray-black female from the undergrowth. Her blue-green eyes were distressed, and blood trickled from her flank where she had been shot. Taini, the white male, whined and rushed to the dark-colored wolf's side, Kaya following quickly. The female grabbed Taini by the scruff, streaking into the forest and trying not to limp, as she frantically searched for a place to hide her pup. Kaya followed without hesitation, her yellow-green eyes wild in fear.
Naoki didn't follow however. The jet-black pup crouched low to the ground, watching the scene unblinkingly. He soon felt a muzzle nudge his side furiously, and looked up to see the gray-black wolf. Naoki ducked his head.
"Abeque," he whined, amber eyes glowing, "Where's dad? I can't see-"
He cut off as Abeque merely grabbed him by the scruff and raced off into the forest, soon coming across a small den by the side of a birch tree. Taini and Kaya were already there, huddling against eachother. Naoki squirmed furiously out of Abeque's grip, and once she let go, he whipped around to face her, his soft black pelt fluffed up in irritation.
"Abeque!!" he repeated more angrily this time. Her teal eyes softened in sympathy, and she ducked her head to nudge him towards the other two pups.
"Relax, Naoki." she whispered, crouching low. Naoki pricked his ears at her; he could barely hear her over the screams and snarls of battle in the other clearing. He flinched as a gun went off. Abeque's ears flattened.
"You're father will be fine," she murmured, not meeting his gaze. Naoki stiffened.
She was lying.
"But-" He broke off yet again as more gunshots went off, more closer to them now, over and over again. Two wolves suddenly burst from the undergrowth, and Naoki recognized the reddish-brown pelt of Sanyue and Ayasha, the white Alpha female.
"Abeque," growled Sanyue, approaching her quickly. Sanyue looked the worst; he looked like he had just rolled in a deep puddle of blood. "Get the pups out of here, and try and get out of the territory. Ayasha and I will meet you there."
Abeque's eyes widened in horror, "You and Ayasha were the only ones who made it? No,no!"
"ABEQUE!" he snarled furiously, and she looked up at him in alarm. Naoki had never seen the Beta this cross before.
"Get the fuck out of here!" he snapped, stepping forward and forcing Abeque to step back. Ayasha glanced at Sanyue in warning, but Sanyue basically ignored her look. Finally, Abeque whipped around, heading towards Taini, Kaya and Naoki. "I'm leaving." she muttered as Sanyue stared at her to make sure she left. Naoki knew although Sayue was being harsh, he saw the pain and worry in his amber eyes, and was only being firm to save her.
Suddenly, more gunfire erupted and many humans burst through the forest, shooting furiously at the wolves. Naoki stumbled backwards, and soon felt a hand grab the back of his neck. All he remembered as the scent of blood, the howling, the triumpthant laughing of the humans, and being placed into a steel cage.
Then, a black wave crashed over him, and he fell asleep.

(A/N: Well...As you can see, half of it is from Tsuki, the Paradise Wolf's POV, and the other is from Naoki's POV. Naoki will soon be a Paradise Wolf, but his story of how he gets there is pretty tough. I'm not too happy with this chapter [I'm never happy with anything I write, am I?] but hey, there will be more things explained in the next chapter. Remember, this is all based off of RP!)
