Chapter 27 : " Pack Life "

The next day as I woke up I noticed I was the first one to do so ... well at least in the den since I already could hear Cesar and Ragnor talking, probobly preparing for patrol and perhaps the hunt.

I slowly stood up trying my best not to wake up others, and while doing so I saw how well they took care about each other. Anadormi and Taiinu on the outside and they younger brothers Zeke and Trikk inside.

As I was looking at them my atention got shifted back to Ragnor and Cesar conversing.

I walked outside the den and close my distance between me and conversing males and I asked.

"Good morning guys. Are you going on a patrol or a hunt as well?"

"Oh good morning Sky. For now we are only going on patrol but yes I think we will go on a hunt leater on." responded Ragnor.

"Could I join you at the hunt ?" I asked.

"Think so, we don't know if we will even go on one." said Cesar.

"Sure, call me if you will need me." I said, walking down to the lower part of meadow to take a drink shortly after.

It was almost cloudeless Sky and there was bearly any wind. Perfect time for a hunt.

I decided to stay at the lower meadow and take a shelter under a nearby tree.

When I was relaxing time was passing by quite fast and not long after the newcomers came out of the cave to take a drink as well.

"Morning guys, how did you slept?" I asked as soon as they came down to drink.

"Very well, thank you for asking" said Taiinu.

"It is nothink. If not Alphas you would probobly sleep outside without any shelter from rain." I replied.

"That's so nice of them." is a Anadorm.

"See !? They are cool I told You!" said Trikk.

"They might not want us around so better keep your happiness on a leash" said Anadormi to his younger brother hushing him up.

"But I want to stay" stated Trikk.

"Me too ! we were traveling for so long" said Zeke.

"Hush it" said Anadormi.

"I don't want to admit it but ... they are right. Who knows for how long we will walk again untill we will find another pack. And what if they won't be as friendly as they are?!" said Taiinu.

"Quit the topic now!" demanded older male.

"Ummm I don't want to inturapt but Alpha Maka might want you to stay. You might prove realy useful for the pack." I said.

"What do you mean?" said Trikk.

"I mean that not so long ago I was just a trespasses on they territory and now I'm a packmember." I explained.

"See ?! See ?! We are going to stay." said Trikk looking at his older brother.

"If Alpha will want you here you will be tested and that will determ wheather or not you will stay." I explained further more.

"That make sense. Have he speeked with You about it ?" Asked Anadormi.

"Well not exacly but he said that the fact of me and you sleeping in that cave it might not be permanent and the next days will determ it. So I guess he ment that he will be observing you and depending on his thoughts you may be tested and then you just do your best." I said, basing my opinion on my own expiraince of first days within territory borders.

They soon finished drinking water from pond and I stood up and followed them back up saying.

"I will go to check one part of the territory, you better stay in a cave or in the close area of meadow." I said.

"Sure think Sky, we will in cave" answered Anadormi.

"Splendidly. I will have few questions about you when I will be back." I replied slowly leaving.

I went for almost an houer long patrol to check absolutely everythink and beside old tracks of spino there was nothink there, so I walked back to territory, relived, that that spino was alone.

'I wonder if Maka will want to test then out.' I said to myself walking uphill to the meadow area and then to Alphas' cave to report that there was nothink at the wash.

"May I come in Alphas?" I asked picking my head inside.

"Come in Sky. Maka is gone for a moment but he will be back" replied Miakoda from inside.

"I have came to report that wash and area around it is clear, No sign of any presents." I said slightly comeing in.

"Alright that's good, you may go." said Miakoda.

"I have a question to Maka that I wanted to ask personally. I will wait for him outside if you don't mind."I replied and started to back away from a cave.

I waited for a bit wondering how I should form a question and as I was thinking about it Maka came back, which I haven't noticed.

"Sky, what are you doing here ?" he asked which made me come back from my thoughts to reality.

"Oh you are back Alpha. I wanted to ask you a question." I said standing up awaiting his premision to continue.

"Oh come on speek up you don't have to wait with questions in moments like this." Said Maka when I was not speaking up.

"Alright ... ummm ... I wanted to ask you about those newcomers. Will you be testing them out as well ?" I asked.

"Maybe I will maybe I will not. Is it all ?" Asked Maka.

"I think so, yes" I said makeing myself ready to leave back the cave.

"Alright then Sky. Dissmised." said Maka to which I walked back to the cave.

Soon after I entered the cave and sat down on a moss next to Anadormi and asked him.

"So ... ummm ... what happend to your pack ?"

"Well ... one night,we got attacked by dillos when most of the pack members were on a hunt, away from ouer sleeping grounds. We got separated form ouer family and we don't know what happend to them there was too many of those dame dillos." he answered, while anger crept it's way on his face.

"Well I have a similar backstory. My pack got attacked by rexes. Only I survived." i said.

"Anyways did those dillos got you and your brother Zeke those scars ?" I added after a moment of silience.

"Yes ... we were ambushed but we manage to slip away, I even killed one or two." answered Anadormi.

"Do you know where the teritory of your pack was ? Maybe they came back there." I said trying to cheer him up abit.

"We did never had a territory we moved from place to place seeking ouer safety." he answered.

"Well ... Hopefully Alpha will want you to be in his pack. Can't be sure what Alpha will see in you but for me you look quite expiranced." I spoke up after a short silience.

"Maybe try to volunteer to help with hunts and stuff so Alpha will see you being useful." I added shortly after.

Anadormi stayed silient for quite long, probobly thinking about possible options and he finaly spoke up.

"I will try to help with hunts but I need to be sure that my sister and brothers won't get hurt during my absence. I hope I can trust you with this." he said looking right into my eyes looking for a slightest sign of me lieing.

"They won't be harm by any of the pack members since Alpha wouldn't allow it as long as they won't do anythink stupid or harmful." I answered to which Anadormi moved his head back filtering it slightly to the left while doing so.

"Alright, I will tell them that and you will keep them safe when I will be helping pack out." he said reassured that everythink he has left from his family will be safe.

"If you want, I will go and ask Ragnor if he and Cesar will go on a hunt today and if yes I will tell them that you want to help them out with a hunt." I said offering help.

"Yea sure, it will be a lot easier if you will ask about it since I'm not a packmember" He replied.

I walked outside the cave looking after Ragnor or Cesar but I couldn't find them, but when I was about to enter their cave I heard some noises comeing from Alpha cave. I came closer to it and I spotted everyone beside two young juvies inside the cave and as soon as I put a feet inside of it I got noticed by Miakoda who spoke up.

"Did somethink happend, Sky ?"

"No nothink, I was just looking for Ragnor since I have a question for him." I answered.

"Is it realy important? Since we have few thinks to disgust before he and Cesar will go on a hunt." Said Maka.

"Well ... I'm here exacly for that I have a question about a hunt." I answered.

"Yea you will be able to go with us for a hunt." replied Ragnor.

"Actualy, I came to ask if Anadormi will be able to do so. He wanted to help a pack out." I said.

As soon as I said those words every one went silient, untill Maka spoke up brakeing it.

"You know the rules, Sky. First they need to earn my trust. I don't doubt they want to help but I wants to see what they can."

"I know Alpha, and I hope you will want to test them out soon." I replied.

"Maybe I will find some time tommorow to take them and see what they can do, but for now, keep an eye on them." added Maka.

"Alright I will" i replied walking back to the cave, letting them continue their discussion.

As soon as I entered the cave Anadormi spoke up.

"And ?"

"For now no, but maybe if Alpha will find time tommorow he will see what you can." I replied.

"Oh. Well at least you acheaved somethink." he said.

"I can bet Maka would test you out anyways.Its not like I made him do it." I replied.

As we stayed in the cave since the sun was at it's highest spot and it was realy hot outside, we shared expirance of ouer past between eachother to make time go by faster.

After hours of talking we finaly decided it was time to take a drink, eat and take a nap since there was nothink to do around anyways.

I was hopeing that enjoy the stay in this pack since it would be nice to have someone around to talk to.

We fell asleep realy fast thanks to comfortable moss we sleeped on and the fact we were full.
