With great caution, the pack members Luna had never seen before through the den's entrance, pulled her out of it and dragged her to the alpha. She wondered for a second, which actually seemed like hours, what does the alpha look like. Is he strong? Or maybe he's a midget? Or maybe he's a ginger and has no soul and will eat her unborn future babies? Who knows. The moment of truth was just around the huge rock which was standing in her and the pack members who dragged her way. After 3 minutes while standing in front of the rock, she realized that this must be the place where the alpha communicates with the pack. Then, after a few more minutes she could feel the pack members getting a bit nervous, the atmosphere was getting tense.
„Ay, where's the alpha, mates? Did you call her or what?" An orange wolf behind her said. He looked really old but she doesn't really know what made him look old because he actually was standing on his back legs at the moment and dancing caramelldansen.
„OH, OH, SORRY. I'm terribly sorry, I got carried away catching rabbits and chasing away coyotes. Damn, they sure spawn a lot in this territory. And plus, those coyote's are so annoying. I kill a rabbit and they go all „OMG MINE" over the dead body. It's just so annoying!" The silence and amusement of the old wolf dancing was interrupted by a beautiful ginger she-wolf emerging on top of the rock. Her beautiful ginger fur was all smudged with blood but it actually made her look a lot more beautiful and not-so-gingerish. Now she didn't look like a soulless creature.
Well, I was right about the ginger part. Luna thought to herself as she let out a small giggle but surpressed the need to laugh out loud. How could this wolf possibly be the leader of this pack? All the members of this pack are rude and immature bastards. How could this childish and reckless female could be the leader? How can she control all of these wolves? A bunch of questions were floating in Luna's head but they all soon were canceled because of small space of memory in her head. She's have to defragment herself soon enough when she gets free of this pack of weirdos.
While thinking, Luna didn't notice how all the pack members were dipping their heads in front of the alpha. She was the only one not doing that. How did she notice? Because the ginger alpha's soulless eyes were looking into her soul ready to munch on her unborn future puppies. Luna shivered at the thought.
„Aye, gurl. Whatcha name?" The ginger female said while she swiftly jumped off of the rock and landed on the ground right before Luna's head. Her paws created a cloud of dust and the dust got in Luna's nose and she sneezed in the alpha's face. Now, the ginger's eyes changed from curiosity to pure rage even though Luna doesn't understand how can this soulless animal Express any of her feelings through her eyes. It creeped her out. „You sure got some nerves to act like this in front of ME, the alpha of Shadow Lurkers pack. I could've saved you and made you join the pack eveni f you didn't want to because we're totally running low on new members. Ooops, shouldn't have said that. What if you're a spy from our rival pack?" The alpha now had almost her face sticked in Luna's. Too close, ginger. She thought and tried to back away but the wolf who did caramelldansen just a few seconds ago was just blocking her way back.
„I.. I'm sorry, Alpha. My name's Luna and I am not a spy. I don't even know who the hell is your rival pack and I'm sure they're all soulless ging—Shit.." Not she had done it. The alpha's eyes were now raging and slowly turning red. She was about to go on a rampage with a selfmade armor that deflects all kinds of bullets and wielding weapons in both her front legs. But she quickly tried to surpress that feeling because the alpha noticed her packmates with their tails between their legs, slowly backing away in the shadows. She then proceeded with a smile and then started laughing.
„My, you sure do have a sense of humour. So, you're Luna, eh? I'm glad you don't have an original name or it would be hard for me to remember who's unborn children I need to eat. Just kidding, I ain't eating nobody. By the way, I am MingerStar, the alpha of Shadow Lurkers pack. You're welcome to join, Luna, but you'll have to fend for yourself since none of us do the hunting here. Why, you ask? Because lately there's been a bunch of dead elk spawning all over the place. You can't even piss without a dead elk spawning in front of you. We only hunt to have some sort of exercise. Hunting is pointless in this beautifully programmed world we live in." She finished her speech with a forced smile. Luna could tell she was still mad about what she had said. Well, what ginger wouldn't be mad? She decided to join the pack. Not really join. More like she had no other option than to accept what the alpha said and, besides, Luna needed to find out what is this mysterious connection she feels while being in this pack's territory. Asi f she had been here before. For now on, she will find out the past that she had forgotten or accidentaly defragmented whle trying to improve her memory. She only had 5GB installed in her brain.
„Th.. Thank you ever so much for your kind invitation to your pack, MingerStar. I will gladly accept your offer without hesitation and join your noble pack. I will make sure I work hard and gain your trust, alpha." Luna dipped her head in front of the ginger. She had never ever felt so humiliated before.
„Very well. I'm glad you're so considerate, Luna. I'm happy to have such amazing wolves join my pack on their own free will." MingerStar said and jumped back on the big rock. „Everyone! Let's green our newest pack member Luna!"
Their own free will, my ass! You made me join your stupid pack, you ginger.
All the pack members cheered on Luna and she tried to look as happy as she could but she suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes staring her down. It almost felt like she was wearing nothing at all and that wolf was watching every detail of her body. She tried to find the stalker but couldn't among all the cheering wolves.
„Hey, Luna! Come with me , I'll show you around our territory! By the way, my name's Buttocks. Let's be friends!" Buttocks, a pale brown male wolf sprinted somewhere from the back of the cheering wolves and dragged Luna with him. When she finally thought out her answer which was a strict no, they were already exploring the new territory. Luna couldn't get her mind off the thought of who was staring her down so coldly but soon enough she will find out.
