((Okay, for the sake of saving me a headache and a half, I am assuming that Batool has already gone and told all of the prospective packmembers to meet her at the specific river crossing at a certain day and time.
Hopefully, that's okay with everyone. heart ))
The alpha stood tall, scenting the wind for any wolves who may be in the area. It was dawn, and the sun was just beginning to rise over the land.
This morning, the weather was crisp and cool, but only partly cloudy. A perfect day for travelling.
Her eyes glanced around the river crossing that she had informed everyone to meet her at, and after sitting back on her haunches, Batool let out a beckoning howl. It was time.

Resana looked up, her muzzle still dripping water from the stream she'd been drinking from. That howl... where had she heard that- oh! Batool! The call! She hurried to meet her Alpha, slowing to a pad when she got near.
She rounded a bend of trees and there, the crossing. Resana lowered her head respectively and walked forward "I answer my Alphas' call!" she grinned up. She'd had a growth spurt since she had first met Batool, so she made sure her name was known "I am Resana."

Batool turned her ears towards the noise of Resana approaching, eyes brightening somewhat when she saw that the female had not only kept her promise, but had grown as well.
Stepping forward, she leaned down to affectionately nuzzle the teen before letting her eyes gaze around her surroundings. "I am glad Resana."
She scented the air again, in hopes to smell the scents of all those she had spoken to. "We wait for others." Batool said firmly, nodding to accent the statement.

Aella crept towards the Alpha, only momentarily distracted by a lizard on a mushroom... and a field mouse... and a pretty rock, cloaked in stealth. She was the stuff of legends, she was invincible, she was AELLA!
With a heroic leap, she landed in a ball of fluff just short of her intended target, Batool's very exposed rump. Looking up at the Alpha through floppy puppy paws, she announced, "Aella is here. You can all bow to me now."

*Spook raised her head from her small paws, the distant howl of Batool lingering through the area, like a gentle melody to her ears.
Raising to her feet, she gave a slight stretch before leaping into a run, from the shaded pine trees, that she rested beneath. Her swift padded feet, carrying her along the forests edge, until the faint sound of rushing water came into ear shot, while the scent of other wolves had filled the misted airs.
This must be the place, it fit the description that Batool had given her, the stream of water, the landscape and the scents of other wolves, it all matched.
Picking up her pace she dashed through the final grouping of trees, before the very sight of the black alpha marked with the red and whites, came into sight, along with two other wolves, one at the age of an adolescent while the other was another pup, like herself.
With one last bound, she came into a quick halt in front of the three, only to lower her head in respect and to speak aloud in her quiet voice.*
Spook - "I have come to answer my alpha's summoning howl."
*She slightly grinned at her words, she was proud to be one of Batool's pack members, far more proud than being a lost lone wolf for the past few months.*
Spook - "Spook, is at your every command."

*Batool's howl had also reached Ito's ears, as they flicked forward. Her sliver eye's fixed on the direction it had came from as she gave a wry smile. Standing to her feet, she gave a quick shake to rid herself of any dirt left on her silky pelt.*
Itonami:: Well, looks like it's time...
*She began to dash off towards Batool and the others, the wind grabbing at her fur, as it blew close to her slender body as she dashed through the lush grass. Arriving before Batool and the others, she gave a slight smile as she spoke out her normal everyday tone.*
Itonami:: You called?

Batool heard the puppy charging, but only had time to turn and watch a familiar pup soar and then tumble into pile behind her. Her red eyes stayed on the pup during her announcement, the alpha eerily quiet, and her gaze hardened.
"Silly Aella," she murmured in her deep, rough voice, "One must earn respect first."
The alpha absently wondered where everyone else was when her ears swivelled to catch the sounds of another wolf approaching. These puppies would need to learn how to be a bit quieter.
That would come later, and Batool nodded to the newly arrived pup, "Welcome Spook, and..." She trailed off when another wolf arrived, the orange easily recognizable, but the name slipping from Batool.
She held herself tall and looked down onto the new wolf, as if reminding her to respect her alpha. The black widow kept a hardened edge in her gaze as she affirmed the question, "I called."
((I'm trying to think if there are any more that we are waiting for? Axiom will meet them in transit.))

*Spook's tail coiled to her side as she sat down upon her haunches and eyed the others cautiously. Even though they may be her pack mates, she would have to get to know them better, before she trusted them.
Batool was different however, she looked and acted like a proud and honorable alpha, there fore, she felt no reason to be wary around her, for alpha's as proud as Batool would not harm a pup, unless absolutely necessary.
Her crimson eyes lingered upon Itonami longer than they had on the others, for she was the only one that she had met other than Batool.
Her small black ears propped up while she watched how Batool had reacted to Itnonami's slight rudeness, though she figured that Itonami did mean to have been rude.
Her gaze than lingered to the other two wolves, the other pup was about her size, while the other was about a head higher than she was.
She had caught the name of the pup's when Batool had murmured beneath her breath, though the other wolfs name was lost to her.*
Spook - "What is your name..?"
*She turned to face Resana now, her crimson eyes fixed on the brown wolf with all of her attention.*

Nodding as well, Resana eyed each of the joining wolves, and nodded the slightest bit to each one in greeting. She hadn't noticed when, but at some point she had turned and stood a little to the side of Batool, facing the others. Resana eyed Batool, and made sure her tail stayed down in a low, non-threatening position. She had no rank here, yet, at least, so she was careful not to show any bit of arrogance in front of her Alpha.
Getting that eerie feeling that she was being watched, her gaze flickered and rested on Spook. Resana would have introduced herself to Spook, but she waited calmly and patiently for Batool to be finished with them. Though she was only a pup when her pack was attacked and killed, she vaguely remembered some things; and being rude in front of your Alpha was a huge no no. Resana was not about to start out as an omega in this pack..

Aella, on the other paw, knew nothing of pack life, having been left to her own devices from the start. Righting herself, she moved to stand between Batool's legs, puffing out her chest in an imitation of the Alpha. "You heard her. You must earn respect first. Aella has much respect, yes she does."

The alpha noted Resana's respect, putting it into the back of her mind, but before she could open her maw to speak, Aella opened hers. Batool narrowed her eyes, and as much as she liked having a minion, now was not the time for a side kick.
Stepping back, the female leaned over and plucked the pup up by the scruff of her neck, promptly walking over to where the rest of the newly arrived wolves were gathered. Aella was dangingly from Batool's mouth, and the alpha kept her expression unreadable.
Once there, she casually dumped Aella on the ground with the rest of the pack. Then, she turned right back around and returned to where she had previously been standing, turning to face her pack.

((Drama in the lands, yo. XD!))
Suddenly through somewhere beyond and past the trees was a short howl. It was masculine and not an extremely old, wizened voice, but deep. There was a rustling of a bush after a moment, and then out pooped the head of an adolescent wolf, quite a bit older than Resana. He was dark brown on top, then had a silver underside, and he too, like Resana, had odd black markings on his fur. However, he had a few scars that were still pink and healing.
Resana's ears had flickered at hearing the howl. Having spun around towards the sound, she now stared with wide eyes. She gulped and took a few steps back, but then reached her neck forward curiously, unable to help herself. "...Av?"
The male wolf chucked and stepped out, his tail already lowered, seeing the others around, and the one black and red wolf with her tail up and challenging. He nodded his head low to the obvious wolf of rank, then turned back to Resana, his low voice rumbling out of him in a warm way "My sister..." he shook his head as he sniffed her and made sure she really was the same one who'd left all those tracks.
Gulping again, Resana eyed Batool "My, Alpha Batool, this uhm.. is.. my brother, ..Mallavi." she said it in half disbelief; her and her brother were going to have a LOT to talk about.
Alpha? Oh no. Mallavi was not liking the sound of this. Was Resana a traitor to her blood? Only what, a few months after their pack was destroyed, and his sister had already gone off and found herself a new pack? Ohh boy... and here he was, trying to gather the only other packmate he knew was alive, and trying to salvage an idea of a pack. But, the situation was different now, wasn't it? May as well get on with it and make do with the hunt that the season brought.
He eyed his little sister again and looked up from a low bow, in an attempt of showing meekness (not his strong suit, mind you) to the Alpha. He knew the drill, he'd seen his father at work with a few lones. He snuck a quick glance around. Yep. They all were females. How odd.. and not a favorable situation. Looking back up at Batool, he said "My apologies, good Alpha, for tresspassing into your lands. I was unaware of border markings. My belly to you, for my offense." He hoped she was a merciful Alpha, and that she wasn't holding a meeting here with her best huntresses.

Aella's voice caught in her throat as Batool gripped her by the scruf. It was swiftly apparent to her, however, that the She did not intend to eat her and that being carried in this way was quite enjoyable. She flopped her paws up and down, grinning and making little sing song noises to her self.
Upon being deposited next to her packmates, Aella shot them a smile that split her face, "Aella has so much respect the Alpha carries Aella so Aella's paws stay nice and clean. Oh yes, you may bow now." She sat on her rump, chest puffed out and chin held so high it was a wonder she wasnt looking behind her.

*Spook eyed Resana a while longer, before her crimson eyes had lingered to the adolescent's brother.
It would be useless to persist in asking her of her name, while in front of their alpha, so why bother.
Settling down to the ground in silence, she merely watched the others, as Resana introduced her brother, Mallavi, to Batool.
Her shadowed coloured body lay propped up so that her belly pressed against the ground, with her tail layed coiled around her hind left foot.
The look on Mallavi's face showed that he didn't look to impressed with Resana, and Resana seemed to be a little more nervous now that her brother had appeared.
Her gaze than lingered over to Aella, the little brown pup around her age, that was expecting everyone to bow down to her.
Her crimson eyes rolled back, in thought of how did this pup came to think she was so great? And why on earth she'd even think that they'd bow down to her.*
((Hah hah!! I love the picture in your six XBear. XD
And happy birthday luff. :3))

The howl caused Batool to put all current egotistical pup issues on hold, ears swivelling in the direction in which the howl came from. It was most definately male, and it was also not Axiom's howl.
That and Axiom was not one to give away his position so ignorantly.
Therefore, the male was unwelcome even before he showed himself.
Bristling her fur to add even more size to her already large body, Batool turned her crimson eyes towards the wolf. She watched the exchange between brother and sister silently, but made sure that they knew of her presence.
"He is male," she stated harshly, looking down upon the adolescent as she spoke to Resana, "Blood or not, he is not welcome here." Glancing over to Resana, she gave her a critical look before returning her eyes to the male, eyes hardening almost immediately.
She didn't care for males, except for meals and when she was in heat. Then they were a quick fix and dessert.
Padding over to the male, she held herself proud, threateningly even, "These are freelands," Batool corrected, almost sneering at his ignorance, "What is your business with Resana?" His sister had already pledged herself to the black wolf, and therefore the widow would keep her safe from the lowly male if necessary.
For now, she ignored Aella's banterings, her full attention on the intruder. Merciful did not apply to Batool when it came to males, females possibly, but rarely males.
