Dodge finally feeling at home for once licks Autumn's snout afterwards i turn bright red with embarrassment"s..sorry.."

Autumn tilted her head in confusion, wondering why he was getting so embarrassed. He just licked her. But then again, it wouldn't be the first time she had been oblivious about something. Not stopping to consider what it might mean, Autumn licked his snout in return; thinking it was the same as nipping at his ear.

Feeling her lick back Dodger calmed down a bit, running off after the others autumn in tow

Ruka lead his pack and the pups to his territory and once he got there, he walked towards his rock to sit on it once again. ________________________________________________________________________ Jenna dropped the dead elk once she reached the spot only to see her son had wandered off said spot. I hate when he does this. She hid her meal behind a bush before searching around for Jonas. Son, you are gonna be so grounded when I find you. She continued her search with a worried/angry look on her face. Jonas had gotten over his disappointment and went to find another butterfly in the area. On his search, he had somehow wandered too far and found himself in an unknown place. He sniffed the air and caught the scent of multiple wolves in the distance(Ruka's pack). This made him realize he had almost ran into a pack's territory. He lowered his ears in shame, knowing he had disobeyed his mother and run off. Mother's gonna kill me. By kill, he meant he was gonna get a lecture.

Riagan had been asleep in a bush of brambles. Quite the odd place to have been sleeping- since now, as he woke and crawled out of his sleeping place- his coat was covered in burrs. The dark gray wolf shook out his coat the best he could- grumbling as he did so. Looking up he saw Ruka at his usual place. Riagan wondered what time of day it was- in fact, he was sure that he was needed somewhere. He padded on up to his alpha, "Have you seen the others? They aren't- uh- out hunting or anything, right? Ulfang'll have my head if he thinks I was slacking off- which i swear I wasn't!" He sputtered nervously. The last thing he wanted was to tip off his alpha that he'd been sleeping all day.

Leila silently walked towards her cave without anyone seeing her move away from them. She felt her stomach still rumble from her hunger. It was trying to notify her that she was hungry and to get some dang food. She only ignored it as she laid down in her cave. Her eyes could only be noticed from the darkness that was hugging her. She knew that the pups will be cared for since they were part of the pack now. She gave a smile that no body else could see but only her could know. Her crystal blue eyes gazed up to the rock and noticed Riagan next to the Alpha. She noticed by the way he looked that he was nervous. She looked away then looked at the others. She always tends to stare at the pack members as if analyzing them. She didn't know why but she liked doing it.

Ruka stood up when one of the pack members came up to him. "I haven't sent my hunters out yet, but I will in a few. So, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. We have new recruits who are young pups." He explained before going towards the lead hunters. "Everyone's hungry so hunting starts now. I need one wolf to stay here since we now have pups to look out for." He sat down as he waited to see who would go and who would stay behind to watch the young ones. __________________________________________________ Jenna finally made her way over to her son, but she wasn't too happy with him. "There you are." She said in a stern voice. "I thought I told to stay by the bush." By her tone, a wolf could tell she was not in the best of moods at the moment. Jonas bowed his head in shame as he heard his mother lecture him. He slowly turned toward her and looked up with those cute innocent looking eyes. "Sorry, mom." He said as he went to his mother's side. Jenna softened a bit and looked at her son. "Next time you want to wander off somewhere, let me know where you're going. Okay?" Jonas nodded in response to his mother as they walked side by side and headed back to their own den.

As Ulfang was walking back to the rock, he glanced back to make sure the pups were still following. Much to his surprise they were playing around with each other, which made him have a wolfy grin. He remembered playing around with his brothers and sisters when he was a pup and always getting beat because of it. He turned his attention ahead, they were almost there and as the rock came into view he saw Riagan, another hunter. He seemed to be talking to Ruka about something and he looked rather jumpy, making Ulfang wonder what he had been up to so far today. He'd ask later, for now they were at the rock. He sat on his rump in front of the rock, looking at the pups, "Well Autumn, Dodge, you're in our pack now and this is our home. The center of our territory and where we gather at dusk. Many wolves live here, and not all are here but I'm sure you'll see them eventually. For now, stay here, you're probably exhausted from the days events and shouldn't go exploring. We will be hunting soon and wouldn't want you to wonder off" Ulfang finally said as he pointed his snout at the den. He got up and walked over to Riagan and Ruka, who the latter told him it was time for the hunt to begin. Ruka also mentioned that some wolf had to stay behind and look after the pups and he wondered who that would be.

Autumn sat down next to the den obediently. She had already wondered off once and gotten lost, no need for it to happen again. She looked at Dodge then back at the others wolves, also wondering who was going to stay and watch them. She wished she was old enough to go hunting with them. Hopefully when she does get older she'll leave her clumsiness behind with her childhood. Being a clumsy adult wouldn't catch any prey whatsoever. She leaned against Dodge sleepily, having to agree with Ulfang about being tired. Her flight through the woods and everything else that had happened left her feeling exhausted.

Leila walked out of the cave slowly as the darkness let her from the front of her body to the end. She looked up at the three wolves who were talking about going hunting which made her eyes pick up. She walked past the pups, but not without giving them a kind wolf smile, and towards Ulfang, Riagan, and Ruka giving a nod of respect to them as she stopped next to them without saying a word. She really felt like hunting with them that she had to shake a bit to calm down her hunting instincts. And for her right now, she really needed to run.

Dodger was by no means sleepy. but he felt Autumn leaning against him sleepily. He began to sneak away quickly running off only to be picked up by his ruff by Leila.

Leila heard a sound of running and turned quickly as she watched a pup run off. She let out a sound that sounded like a very quiet chuckle as she ran after the little male pup. She picked up the puppy by the ruff then turn back to set the pup down by the Autumn. Once she set him down, she nuzzled him so he stood close to the little female pup, "Where were you going little one?"

"i don't gotta tell you!" i growl a bit only succeeding in looking adorable rather than looking menacing

Leila let out a soft chuckle when the little pup growled at her then said, "You have to because I will probably nuzzle you till you tell me" she warned with a wolfish smirk.

Wildflower walked lazily to the rock, she smiled playfully when she saw Leila and the two pups in there, and her tail swung back and forth. "Leila. Do you want me to watch the pups?" She barked, her eyes bright. She was in love with those cute little pups, but She also felt a small amount of pity for them. She wished she knew what had happened to their mothers. "I owe it to you, since you were so polite to me earlier. But I must say, you look amazing with them, you seem like a natural mother." She sat down with an audible plop. "Maybe today you and Ulfang can lead the hunt, and I'll stay behind to take care of these two."

Dodger snaps at the older wolf lunging and falling flat on his face

Autumn scampered over to make sure Dodge was okay after his face-plant in the dirt. She laid down next to him, nuzzling against him in hopes of calming him down. "It's okay Dodge, we can play here."

Leila looked at the pup then helped the pup up once again saying softly, "I'm sorry" she did feel kind of sad that she got the little pup mad. But she covered it with a smile and nuzzled both the pups so softly they wouldn't feel it. Then she looked up at Wildflower as she said, "Thank you Wildflower. I needed to go for a run and hunt anyways." She nodded her head in a thank you then said looking at the pups, "Also make sure they don't get out of your sight. This one," she nuzzled Dodger a bit,"Is sneaky. And I'll just let Ulfang take the lead if he wants" She let out a silent chuckle before she turned walking back to the three males that were talking about the hunt. The pups were so adorable which made her eyes brighten. Then she looked at the Alpha, "Wildflower has decided she wanted to take care of the pups while we go hunting."

Dodger slowly climbed back up to where he was standing straight "i dont want to play. i want to hunt." he says as he spots a squirrel out of the corner of his eye running off after it as he again is taken off the ground by his ruff his legs still going as if he's running

Autumn felt her ears lower. Dodge didn't want to play with her? Was she boring? Not fun to be around? Her head lowered to her paws, eyes fixed on the ground in sadness. She had never been around another pup before and she had wanted to be friends with Dodge. What if he didn't want that? The thought made her even sadder. Maybe that was why mother left, Autumn had been too boring and mother gotten tired of her.
