Aatu The black male stood out easily against the snow, but it didn't hinder his stride. He was a aged warrior, knowing every part of every land. He had killed and lived, though he was not without reason.
Suddenly, he paused mid-stride. One leg just hovering above the ground as his nose reached into the sky and sniffed slightly. Slowly, barely seeming to make a move, he sat on his rump and stared at the trees. Pactient. Waiting. Understanding.
It was simple really, a act that had taken him years to perfect. With a single bound, he lept forwards into the trees and disappeared from sight. But only for a moment.
As quick as he had moved, he was back with a rabbit in his mouth. He had killed it quickly, not wanting to cause it pain. He settled, his back to the trees as he neatly ate the large hare.
The dark brute huffed slightly, wishing he had someone to share it with, but maybe that life wasn't for him.
But it was, he had searched the world for that one. 8 years, 8 whole years he had searched for the mate who was just his.
Done eating, though he was not anywhere near full, he though back his head and howled at the moon. A lone wolves call....
But who would reply to such a call?

Anata I moved through the woods, white pelt hiding me in the snow. Two female pups followed, their brother behind them, protective as always. I sighed as I moved. Then i caught the scent of an older wolf and stopped where i was, watching the direction the scent came from. Rudi growled, knowing my distress. He was old enough to remember his father, he knew I was sad.

Aatu He rose slightly, scenting another wolf near by. In silence, he corrected himself, a female and several pups. Though, it struck him odd that no male was by her side. A unfaithful mate?
The highly stung ears caught sound of a low growl, knowing it was from a young male and yet it seemed not her mate. A son? "I will not harm you," he said, voice rough from lack of use. "You are safe," he added, resting his head upon his paws to show that he ment no harm.

Anata "Quiet, Rudi," i growled when my son snarled at the black wolf. "My name is Anata. For the last few years I have run on my own, my mate was killed by hunters, if that is what you are wondering." I sighed, lost in memories. So much fun we had had together. So much that was lost forever. I sighed, thinking. "And you are?" I watched him with wary eyes. My two daughters rolled in the snow withing my reach.

Aatu He stood, his large black frame moving slowly as he pulled himself to his full height. He towered over them all, though tired not to make it so very obvious. "You have a strong heart," he said, meeting the eyes of the oldest pup. He turned, looking at the young mother and started to speak but looked down on the youngest pups.
He jumped forwards, grabbing one by the fur on her neck and yanked her towards him. To one, it might look like he was trying to kill the pup, when in truth he was saving her from falling down a hole.

Anata
I watched him almost leaping at him until I spotted the hole. I growled a little, scolding my daughter. "Be more careful," I said, once she ran back to me.
Rudi growlled a little. he did not like the older wolf all that much but he was rather protective of all of us. Growling I twisted backwards, tugging at the scruff of his neck in a warning. He was being very rude.
"Sorry about Rudi, he is very protective of us." I smiled though.
"Again I notice that you did not give us your name, stranger.

Aatu He placed the young pup gently upon the snow covered floors and dipped his head gently. Rising his head, he stared at the young male. "He cares for you all dearly, and never wishes for you to live in pain," he said, cocking his head to look at the female again.
"My apoliges, Anata, my name is Aatu," the older wolf said with a grin. He had been alone for a young time, the company of these young wolves was good for a change.
He nosed the pup back towards her mother and sighed slightly, looking the fae over. For the first time he noticed how perfect she was, pure white with kind eyes. Though there was a sadness, yes a great sadness but that would coming from losing a mate.

Anata "Nice to meet you, Aatu." I smiled weakly at him. "It is good to have someone to talk to again. It has been a while since I had any company other than that of my children. RUdi will leave me soon and then my family will be defenseless." I smiled. I sighed. "Rudi, go find something to do, will you? I'll be fine."

Aatu The black wolf bowed his head to the young cub. "I swear to keep your mother and sister's safe," he vowed and it was true, he would never let another creature be harmed when he was near. His dark gaze returned to the she-wolf, still awed at how beautiful she was. Was she the one? "Yes, I understand the feeling," he said softly, sat upon his rump gently, and pushed the female pup away from the hole again.

Anata I smiled at him. At least he seemed to be fgreindly. But would I ever see him with the same eyes I had my old mate? It was definately possibly at this point. I knew that much. "Once, there were were four pups with me, but one was captured by the men. All i know is that he is still alive."

Aatu He bowed his black head for a moment, in honour of the young pup. "You see, I have searched the world...looking for a mate...and yet have never found," he paused "The right one." He met the young fae's eyes and dipped his head once more. "If you do not mind me asking, why are you alone with 3 pups?" he felt slightly rude asking, but needed to know.

Anata
"It's alright. We've been searching for another wolf to run with. Though the horses where I live are freindly, its not often they have helped when humans are invovled, seeing as they are too caught up trying to stay safe themselves." I snorted, thinking of Wildfire and his mares.
"They are a freindly bunch and i may return back there possibly. I much liked that home, I just wanted to find someone to share it with again. Plus I would not leave my little ones alone back tehre, for fear the men stop there while I am away."

Aatu "That is a good reason," he agreed and decided to make a daring move. He stepped fowards and licked the top of her head gently. "I also reside with a stallion and his herd, or did a long time ago," he said, remembering Ashwin who was a old friend and wondered if he had a queen yet. He stepped back, hoping that he hadn't done something stupid.

Anata I smiled at him. "The land I live in is a nice place, but lonely with no other adult wolves hanging around there." I sighed. I did not react in any negative way to what he had done. No, instead I had actually enjoyed the feeling. not something I was used to.

Aatu He smiled slightly as she did not react, and dipped his head in agreement. He knew fully well how it felt to be alone, he had been for 8 years. Pausing, he decided to ask, if she said no well maybe there would be someone else. "Would you like to come with me?" he yelped softly.
