Asylum finally felt at ease knowing she wouldn't have to worry about fighting or asshole males any more and was lieing down on her stomach in the snow.Her tail flat out behind her .Her pups playing around her and schizo sitting with his new found friend.She yawned.

Kalisto:He growled at his sisters and lunged at them.His play was rough.

Kiara she ran away from her brother and pounced on herm others tail

The white wolf had come to see Tahti again, to talk about the so called 'Rebels' one of his daughters had started. It carried wind of danger. He also wanted to see his pups, in which she gave birth to. Surely today they were out of the den. He trotted towards the main lands, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw Asylum. Shit...Is that son-of-a-bitch Kalaber there too? Windsong thought. But he was no where in sight. He came closer, calling out to her. "What are you doing with a former Shadow Haunter?" Windsong barked, his tail held relaxed on his haunches. If he was going to seek refudge with Tahti, he was going to have to make friends with Asylum before anything, or Tahti would run him out.

Larka and Fell both stopped when Windsong called out, after play fighting, staring at him. "Look! Another stranger! HE'S HUGE, MOMMA!" Larka burst, this comment made Windsong smile. "Shuttup, Larka." Fell snapped.

Asylum had started to doze when she heard the male and she growled and stood up.I left my father because we are a burden to him, He has already seen the death of a son and I'm not about to let him see any more of his family killed, I came here because I want nothing to do with this warShe spoke watching him.Unlike her sisters she wasn't as angry. Her tail flicked.She took after her father but wasn't nearly as heavy as him. she only weighted 120 while her father weighed 190.

Kalisto:He growled and his little fur stood up.Who is this punk who thinks he can talk this way to mother?He growled his little fangs bared

Kiara:The little female moved closerto her mother.Mommy, Im scared he don't look nice

Schizo the one year old son of White Feathers stood up and came to stand beside his aunt.bug off buggerOne voice spoke.Don't be so mean Gollum He just asked a questionCame the other.So what? he can act all tough and mighty like thatHe snarled.

Windsong liked Asylum. "Well, I'm a friend of Tahti. Is she here?" Windsong questioned, looking down at Kalisto. "I am here to talk to Tahti about something." With his golden eyes, looking at the small family. "I believe the Valley has come up with another pack. Tahti's daughter started it, they call themselves the Rebels." A small grin etched at his face. This pack couldn't be against the Haunters, being it Tahti's blood in Tainted. But things were possible. It was probably something Hydras did that ticked Tainted off.

Larka and Fell both moved closer to Asylum, trembling a little.

She listneed to him.At the moment noShe spoke turning and moving a bit further into the land but not far.She listened to him but didn't really care.Well i had a choice really, Here or with my uncle tyrant but he already has someone to worry about from my family there, I hate being a burdenShe mumbled the last half.

Kalisto:He snorted and growled.He shook his head

Kiara stayed with her mother

Schizo headed off to find his friend.

Windsong shrugged. "So..." Windsong trailed off, glancing around. "Who's the family?" Windsong didn't want to remember he raped this wolf, one of Tahti's new members.

She sat down and looked to the sky andthen back.Kalisto,Kiara, Larka and fellShe spoke.Her eyes not showing any hint of anger or hate.

Kalisto snorted.I can say my own name, My name is KalistoHe growled

Kiara stayed under her mother.

Windsong smiled at Kalisto, laughing at his stubbornness. "I am Windsong." Windsong didn't want to tell them he was their father. That was Asylum's job, and hopefully she wasn't tell them any time soon.

Larka wagged he tail, prodding Kalisto with her paw. "Cold, aren't you?" Larka snapped.

Fell narrowed his eyes at Windsong. A bit of untrust was in the air.

She would be telling them in two months when they be 8 months old.They needed to kow before a year old.She sat where she was and yawned.

Kalisto:He turned his head at his sister and snapped at her.Shut up weaklingHe snarled.

Kiara:Momma I don't like himShe whimpered.

Windsong looked at Kalisto, then to Kiara. "Well, I shall return soon. But, 'til then." Windsong dipped his head and trotted off.

Larka snarled, lunging at her brother viciously. "Call me that again!" She snarled.

Fell looked at his sister, as though it was a 'finally' for Larka to finally snap.

She sighed and just nodded.Its alright KiaraShe spoke.Licking her on the head.

Kalisto:He growled and met her fang to fang.Weakling!he snarled.

Kiara nuzzled her mother.

Larka lunged for Kalisto's scruff, growling menacily, her teeth barred and eyes blazing. "Learn your place you tyrant!" Larka snapped. She was tired of all of his comments.

Fell smiled. It was about time.

He dodged quickly and slid to a halt.My place? My place is above you!HE snarled and lunged for her little tail.

Asylum watched the fighting pups. She wouldn't interfer unless it got to bleeding badly

Kiara she watched them

"You deserve no place unless you learn to be kindred to those around you! What kind of leader bosses the others around cold-heartedly?" Larka snarled, whipping around and going for his back leg. He had ripped a good chunk of hair from her tail, but the pain was nothing compared to her hurt pride.

he growled as he felt her get a hold of his back leg.Sometimes a leader must lead with a iron pawHe growled as he went for her leg.

Larka growled. "But do they always lead with blunt comments? No! They encourage one another." Larka snapped, her hackles raised. "Iron paw or not, they need to be supportive, and understanding. They invite in those whom they can trust." Larka's words were threw clenched teeth, and Kalisto had ahold of her leg. She hopped, letting go and going for his back. "They only time they should be cold is when it comes to unloyal members."

He snorted and laughed and jumped awya.You wish, Your weak thats why you can't handle it!he snarled and lunged for the base of her tail.

Larka snarled. "Or maybe, my patience has run out. Haven't you ever seen a alpha beat up the omega?" Larka questioned, dodging Kalisto. "I am the alpha, your my omega." Her eyes glittered, now everything was turning into a game.

Tahti, having left Aurinka at the Woodland Farm with the humans, returned to her territory. She looked at Predator, who was watching Larka and Kalisto, then turned to the pups. "I will not stop your fighting, even if you are fighting over something nonsensical. But the moment one drop of blood is drawn, both of you will be severely punished. Wolves do not kill other wolves unless they are ill. I do not need to bring you two to the vet, do I?" She said authoritatively before looking at Windsong.

She walked closer to Windsong, looking up at the towering beast who was several times her size. "My daughter, the one who had your children, came down with some sort of sickness. The Lurkers, with whom she stayed, banished her simply because she is related to the Haunters." She informed sorrowfully.

Asylum watched her pups carefully.

Kalisto he growled.You will never be my alpha!he snarled at his sister.I am your alpha and you are the omegaHe snarled and then heard tahti. He didn't plan on spilling blood.He lunged at his sister again.

Kiara:Momma make them stopShe whimpered.

This was one thing Tahti couldn't stand. "For goodness sake, you are siblings! Start acting like it! Family sticks together all the time instead of tearing at each others' throats in a foolish display of childish dominance. Real rulers must be calm-assertive, not aggressive. What would become of the pack? The structure would crumble. Nobody wants to follow an evil ruler." She snapped, glaring at the fighting pups.

She listened to tahti's words.She looked to the sky.She sighed.

Kalisto he growled at his sister but then caught tahti's words and snorted but nodded and stopped fighting.His tail though up.He whispered to his sister.I am still higher up then youHe snarled and then padded away and nuzzled Kiara.He was close to this sibling of his . He could tell she would be strong one day but at the moment she was scared of everything.Kiara nuzzled him.

Larka snarled but trotted to Asylum's side. She wasn't done with Kalisto, he would soon pay for that. "Dream on." She snarled, but stopped and went to his side. "You'll be alpha, for now..." A grin was on her face. She nuzzled Kiara, and looked at Fell. Fell was evil, and secluded himself from the others. "I call dibs on being beta then!" Larka yipped, lowering her tail to Kalisto.

Fell rolled his eyes. "Stupid mutts." Fell muttered licking his paw and drawing it over his ear.

He just nodded and then looked to fell and growled.The only stupid mutt here is you filthHe snarled.

Kiara nuzzled her sister back and then rested her head on her paws.

Larka smiled, but frowned at Fell's comment. Why was he so cruel? "Chill, Fell." Larka snarled.

Fell rolled his eyes, barring his teeth at Kalisto. He felt like his family was worthless. "Ri-ight." Fell replied tartly.

Tahti looked at Windsong. "Aurinka was exiled from her pack simply because she is related to the Haunters. Tainted has taken up the duty of getting 'justice.'" She said, sadness in her voice. "Aurinka is deadly ill. I suspect she has been poisoned. I don't know if she'll survive."

Your a wothless piece of junk fellhe snarled.HIs fangs bared.

Windsong frowned. "Lurkers are cold-hearted. Why they exile her? Her Haunter bloodlines?" Windsong felt angry. Those Lurkers were jerks, and, even if Aurinka hated him, he felt pissed that they'd do that to Tahti's daughter. Tahti was a close friend, and he felt a strong emotion for the coyote. "Where is Aurinka's...pups?" It was ackward mentioning the pups he sired...which now he regretted...

Tahti sighed deeply, remaining completely silent for the longest time. "Yes, they're very cold. Not even the Haunters would do something like that. And look how strong they are." She then looked at Tainted, who was off in the distance with her group. "Tainted? Where are Aurinka's pups?" She called out. "Right here!" Tainted shouted back, shoving the pups toward their father and grandmother.

Kahvi and Susi looked at Tahti and Windsong uneasily. Kahvi's eyes stopped on the male. "Mother says that you hurt her." He said bluntly.

Windsong forced a fake smile. "Now, that was when I was young, and stupid." Windsong replied.

Avara eyed Windsong, a bit uneasy around him.

Kahvi and Susi watched Windsong carefully. "Mama said that you're our father, but you don't act like it. I like Desmon better. He cares about Mama. He'd be a better fa--" Kahvi said bitterly before being shoved by Tahti.

"How about you go wait with Predator and Tainted?" The coyote said, nudging her grandchildren. She then turned back to Windsong. "You know..." She began hesitantly. "...I don't really have a mate yet..."

Windsong smiled hesitantly. "You saying you want me as a mate?" He questioned, looking at Kahvi, Susi and Avara quickly. "I'll say yes, I'd be delighted, Tahti." He remembered first meeting Tahti, the stubborn coyote she was. He loved her personality, so loving but will defend and fight when needed.

What was going on? Was it possible that Tahti had regained her senses? "Yes, that's what I'm saying. You are now the alpha male of the Refugees." She said calmly and contently.

"You are quit amusing, Tahti." He smiled, he now felt more in-power then before. "I'm pretty much done with carrying out my evil deeds. I'll have to tell Risen that I wish not to continue that path." He sighed and sat down, shaking some snowflakes off of his pelt. "So, what does your daughter have planned for these 'Rebels'?" Windsong questioned, interested in what Tainted had planned.

Tahti sighed, smiling. "Tainted wants to kill the Shadow Lurkers..." She lowered her voice, "For obvious reasons." She shook her head, secretly having no objection to what her daughter was doing. She liked the Lurkers at first, but eventually lost her trust in them.

"Who doesn't?" Windsong replied lowly. "They kicked out your daughter, how crueler could they be. Aurinka gave up her past, and they are too blind-eyed to see that she's loyal to them. Have they no hearts?" Windsong frowned, poor Aurinka. Life just falls apart, and Windsong hadn't helped. "I'm sorry what I did to Aurinka. I'm done with that life...I'm tired of running from all of those memories."

Tahti nodded, giving another sigh. "They claim that they're the 'good guys,' yet they drive away anyone who doesn't agree with their radical ideas. She was a loyal member, and she stuck up for me when I came around, when they wanted to kill me. That proves that she is one of the few left in this Valley who has a heart." She said sorrowfully. She closed her eyes when Windsong apologized for his actions. "I forgive you, and I'm sure Aurinka would forgive you as well. Neither of us want to hold grudges. Rage makes the world a bad place." She looked up at her mate again and smiled.
