Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kieran was up, he stood as he heard the door open. He watched Leila, a bit confused and concerned. Leila stepped in and pulled the hold down. She tried to keep her face blocked as best she could. In case the Pack or anyone else was following her.
"My Mate, Jasper has left to offer his assistance to Meadow's Pack. They had a new Wolf join them. A Female named Daisy...she was being tracked by hunters and they found her when she was staying in Meadow's Pack. She didn't know, anyway...she is staying with Hunter's Pack. The Pack that I am now a part of. I am here because i want you all to be careful. The hunters know what we are. They killed this woman's entire Pack and have been tracking her since. We should all be extremely cautious when shifting and traveling, or even out running." Leila moved toward her brother and gave him a big hug. Her arms lingered about his waist. Finally she pulled herself away and went to Keagan. She gave him a hug as well.
"Good to see you both." She stepped back from Keagan. She did not want his scent on her, if her Mate smelled an unfamiliar Male's scent on her he might get jealous. His Wolf getting territorial about his new Mate.
"Where is Allison....?" Leila looked around. She would think the twin would be somewhere. Not wanting to leave her brother's side.
"Leila, does your Mate know you're here?"
"No. I could not risk the hunters coming toward this Pack without giving you all a heads up. I didn't get to speak to Jasper, he left in a hurry to get back to Meadow." A tinge of jealousy flared up, and Leila was surprised and confused by it.
"Promise me, you will all be on high alert. I would like to see Allison before I leave, if that is possible."
"You're leaving already?"
"I left without a word. I knew Terra wouldn't want me to travel alone, and I can't ask her to accompany me. Not with a toddler in tow." She pushed her hair back over her shoulders.
"I don't know any of those Males enough to trust them to accompany me here." Kieran's eyes narrowed.
"You don't trust your Pack?"
"I don't know them. I can't trust strangers. I have not had time to get to know them or bond with them as a Pack."

Jasper nodded his head. "Terra, will spend word. She hasn't really mentioned the party to our Pack. She is really worried and wants to send more Warriors your way. I want her to keep a few there, to guard her and my niece Dawn. Leila of course... Hunter should be back. Instead...no one has heard from or seen him in a couple of hours. So Terra will hang back...wait for Hunter." He watched his Pack mates head out. He knew once they were outside they would split up. Partner with members of the Pack.

Jasper moved toward Meadow. "Where would you like me to station myself? Have you sent the young ones somewhere safe?" Jasper's Pack did not have but one young member, though he adored the little girl. He hoped one day he would have a few of his own pups running about. From what he had saw of Leila and Dawn's interactions, one day Leila would be a good Mother.
"I can go anywhere you need me too. I am yours to command, until I have to return to my Pack."

Keagan returned the hug she gave him. “Allison isn't here,” he said with a thoughtful and a bit of a worried expression. “In fact, I don't sense her anywhere here. She must be out gathering the rest of the pack. If she does run into the hunters she'll more likely fight them off rather than lead them to us.” He wanted to say more but kept his thoughts to himself. It was not the time to voice out his thoughts. He is sorry for not being around when they needed him most and that's something he couldn't change but there are things he could do now. “How friendly are these pack to Meadow ’s group?” he asked just to figure out their option if fighting doesn't solve their problem.

Jasper arched a brow. " Because your Mate....Kieran?" He asked as he patted Meadow's arm.
"He is a difficult man. He will come around. He is trapped between two worlds it seems. The world of the boy he was, and the world of the man he is becoming. He hasn't found a stable bridge to close that gap once and for all. He will." Jasper straightened up.
"We should be seen at the party together. It will provide comfort and reassurance to both our Packs."

Jasper started for the door. He knew Kieran would come around. He was going through something, that as Pure Bloods and members of a Pack they had never really gone through. They knew what their life would be like, and they accepted it. Kieran had expected his life to be something different then what it was turning out to be.

He went out and greeted guests. Introduced himself to Meadow's Pack members. He wanted the Pack to know him, and his Pack. To realize they were not a threat. They were simply a Pack just starting out. They wanted the opportunity to make a home for the group of misfits, and to become a true Pack. That is all this Pack wanted, only Hunter was going about it in an aggressive manner. Fearful the bigger Packs would attack them, and try to force them out.

"I think you look beautiful Luna. There was a great turn out. Lot of curious people here." He looked around and smiled at the guests. Lots of young women milled about. Jasper noticed Aaron didn't seem as interested in these females as he did Daisy the day before. Jasper wondered if perhaps Aaron was feeling the pull of a Mate match. A match that was felt and created by some unseen force. A force he didn't quite understand by he now truly believed existed, because he had felt the pull when he first scented Leila.
"Thank you all for coming. We are pleased to be here, and thank you all for your hospitality. We may have had a rough beginning but I am pleased we were able to work through it. I look forward to our Packs getting to know one another better in the future. Please know you are all welcome into our territory. We may not be as established as your Pack, but we are working toward that. Now....let's all enjoy this party that Luna has been kind enough to throw in honor or our new found alliance." There was polite clapping after Jasper's speech and Jasper walked over to Aaron.
"You look disinterested."
"Eh....it is a nice party. The food is delicious. Just....kinda....wanted to get to know that chic..." Jasper resisted smiling.
"There are plenty of attractive females here." Jasper motioned to all the lovely young women.
"I know. I just...felt like...I feel like I want to get to know her. It's strange."
"Your drawn to her."
"Yeah, I guess that is it."
"Perhaps she is you Mate." Aaron's eyes widened.
"Mate....? Whoa! That is crazy! I don't know! I never even thought...a mate? Wow. Maybe. I just didn't think that would happen for me."
"I didn't think it was real either. Then..."
"Yeah. Leila....I never saw you get so...aggressive over any female."
"I never felt like that before. The pull was so strong. It was like my Wolf recognized her Wolf as his other half. Like she was what was needed in order to complete him, me, us."

The trio walked about for a while. Looking for Allison, the sensible one of the twins. However after just over an hour Leila announced she had to be on her way. She knew she had already pressed her luck, and Terra no doubt had discovered Leila was gone. At least Leila had left a note, so that Terra hopefully would not worry too much.

Kieran wanted to walk Leila back to her territory, but she refused to allow that. She insisted he needed to stay and help Keagen find Allison. So Leila went on her way, instead of returning to her territory though she went to find Meadow and Jasper. She wanted to see how Meadow was holding up, and she wanted to just make sure Jasper was okay. She felt like he was, but she wanted to reassure herself.

She arrived at Meadow's territory during the big party. Leila observed from afar. She tried to stay far enough away, and downwind so that her scent did not make it to Jasper. She did not want him thinking she was disobeying him just to be difficult. She was a bit curious about the party that Terra had mentioned would be taking place. Leila was also a bit upset that Jasper would be at a party were so many females looking for Mates would be. Yes she had not wanted Jasper, but he was her Mate now. Her Wolf and his Wolf were a pair. They seemed to be sure that they were made for one another, even if the humans did not know that. Or believe that.

Human Leila thought Jasper was an arrogant jerk, but Wolf Leila was all about her Mate. Wolf Leila was pleased with him, and believed he was a wonderful Mate. Human Leila was furious that this male felt entitled to her body, and demanded her loyalty and obedience.

Upon following Jasper, Aaron and Terra back to their camp, Daisy was able to find a room to sleep in, and some food to eat. For the most part she had decided to keep to herself, mostly because she did not want to get too close to anyone. The hunters were in town, after all, and if she needed to leave or go on the run again she didn't want it to hurt. It wasn't until the day of the party that Daisy had finally decided on getting out. If she stayed in her human form, for the most part, she would be safe. There was no way for them to know what she was unless they cut or shot her with something silver.

Daisy wore a simple white dress, nothing too fancy, and some black slip on flats. Her brown hair was pulled over her shoulder in a braid, and she even stuffed small flowers into her braid, from the wildflower field. The entire place was full of people, and it was almost like it was a little overwhelming, especially since she didn't know very many people.

As her blue eyes scanned the crowd, her feet shifted beneath her. The people from earlier were here, Jasper, Aaron, and Meadow. But, she didn't know them very well, and the runner inside of her wanted her to turn around and leave. Her hand lingered on the doorknob, and was about to open it and go back outside when someone approached her, handing her a glass of lavender lemonade.
