Seeing Snickers make his fashionable entrance the alpha growled disapprovingly. Then his chocolate hued brother's expression just made the older wolf flatten his ears down to his skull.
"Glad that Gracia found, Snickers. Now I can tell you all this. We have a new land that will be our official home. This means we can set up and allow new members into the pack." The blue eyes locked onto his brothers and then flickered to Twix.
"The one thing that I'm not certain about is with another pack within a few hours walk of our new territory," Crunch had a bad feeling still about the possible pack of Libenalas. Something just still made his fur bristle with the thought, but then again his fur bristled with the thought of anyone besides his family.

Twix looked at Crunch startled, they were settling down at last? She smiled her tail swaying ith pleasure until he announced that their pack would open to others.
"Others? How will we know who we can trust...what if one comes who would overthrow you?" Twix shuddered at the thought of her family ripped apart by outsiders. She didn't exactly trust other wolves, not that she had any associations to know wolves outside her family.
At her brothers other comment she thought, the sea was a few hours walk from where they were? A pack that lived in the jagged cliffs and salty ocean waves, were they friendly, or dangerous? Would they embrace another pack as a neighbor or attack? "Another pack? Are they friendly?"

Oh, that was big news. Ears immediately craned forwards, ready to scoop up any new information. Finally, they wouldn't have to do this blasted traveling anymore! And wolves, there'd be other wolves! Other wolves, besides his family! Beautiful femmes, ready to be swooned and flirted with! How deprived the poor things must be! Grinning at the news, the wolf almost let out a happy bark of 'civilization!', but refrained himself.
Snickers barely took notice of his sister's apprehension at the idea, too caught up in his own fantasies to ponder the bad points of this decision. So what if there was a nearby pack? That only meant more wolves for him!

Gracia just sat as passive as ever in the little spot she had claimed. The only good thing about this new territory would mean that her punishment was over and she would be allowed to hang out with Alas again. Oh, the only one she figured would have an issue with Alas would be Twix. The caramel wolfess hadn't approved of the pink hued friend, but Crunch had and that trumped any comment that could tumble out of her sister's maw.

With a look between his two siblings new to the news, the aggravation dropped a bit out of the piecing blue eyes. Though the questions that came from Twix made the alpha growl again, but only in a small warning. To him all the questions, even from her, was an underestimate of his calculations of safety for the family.
"We are too small of a pack now to fight off a larger pack looking for more territory. If we want to hold onto the good land prospering land I've found, then we will have to accept others. Though, note, they will have to be accepted by myself and you, Twix." Verdict in the male's voice wasn't anything but like it always was, solid and fierce.
"I figure that you would like to take claim to the Second-n-command, Beta position in the family based pack. None of them will be held any high then that of Gamma or Omega. Unless either of us find a mate in the new recruits, then they will take the role of our title."
Crunch's eyes moved towards his brother at this point, "As for any wanting to overthrow me, that is where the loyality of family ties are suppose to kick in. The pack will hold to the base of a family unit, though I do expect to use brute force at times to insure subornation in the ranks."
Red lightning then shifted towards the pensive face of Gracia, then rolled back towards Twix. "We have at least an insider of that pack. Our sister made a friend among the ranks, I'm sure that we can sponge more information from her if we suspect anything."

Almost all Twix's doubts were banished at her brotehrs word that she would be beta, finally he recognized that she was loyal to their family above all. She dipped her muzzle gratefully and nodded holding back any snide comments that may have passed her maw about Gracia's outside friendships. She would have to keep an eye on Gracia and her new companion from the opposite pack, but most of all...
She looked at Snickers and frowned even worse then soft Gracia would be Snickers who would undoubtedly try and bring swarms of insipid females to praise and adore him. Well no starry eyes female was going to roam around her families domain just so Snickers could have an ego boost. She would be sure to keep the area free of pests and carefully calculate who their new allies would be, unless Crunch gave his stamp of approval first. She still didn't understand why Crunch had agree to let Gracia become friends with this pink stranger they spoke of. Nonethless she was determined to prove herself in her families eyes and keep them all safe.

Wait, what did he just say? The wolf was dumb-founded at his older brother's statement as he completely over-looked him in the new pack structure. Did he just....forget about him? He....Crunch couldn't have just done that. Not to him, not to his own brother! For a moment, light blue eyes shot haphazardly around the circle of family members, looking for some sign that he wasn't completely forgotten. Of course! Crunch was just waiting till the right moment to announce his supreme status in the pack! Ya, that was it! Any moment now, the wolf mused, the smug smile returning to his maw, amused at how worked up he was over a little joke. But it quickly faded, all hopes of being a higher rank shot down like a bird faced with a .22 rifle. None of them will be held any higher then that of Gamma or Omega...
He, he couldn't! They were blood, he was his brother! His sister, his younger sister was a higher rank than he was! That, that just wasn't right! And then the alpha had the nerve to eye him, like he was going to try to take Crunch's place! Still in shock, the wolf made no point of showing he comprehended, eyes still held cold and distant.

Gracia felt the same reaction to Crunch's words that Snickers did. Yes, the femme had figured nothing good would come from being the physically weaker then her older siblings, but being counted less then a stranger in the pack! A family pack of all things! What happened to the blood thing?
Gracia snorted disapprovingly. Her calm light blue eyes didn't even look at her blue brother, or his new right paw, but sympathetically to her deep chocolate and Snicker branded brother. They were alone in this silent struggle...one that would have to be kept from Twix's ears and crimson eyes.

Crunch saw the first real reaction in Gracia, but Snickers was sucking it up. Maybe he lowered his brother's intellect too much. With a stable verdict about Twix's new standing, it would be time to give the broiled siblings their share in rule.
"Snickers," the dark blue eyes once again connected to the distant and uninterested ones. "I'm giving you leadership over the hunting parties. Prove yourself there, we can talk later about something of more interest to you and Twix won't have a say in it." Basically Crunch was saying, if you do good on the hunts, I may give you rein over a small harem in my pack along with your hunting duties.
Then his eyes moved to the flustered Gracia. "Though insubordinate and a snapper at me for my methods of discipline. I'm giving you control of watching over any pups that comes into our territory. Though I plain on moving out early in the morning to start setting up base in the new territory."
Head raised in the domaniate posture again, Crunch swept his eyes across his siblings faces. "As an official pack. I want to know what you all would like for us to call it."

Twix held back a huff at her siblings why couldnt they see that Crunch had everything handled.He had never failed them before yet this discord this silent mutiny of theirs, how it enraged her. She glanced over at Crunch's words to her two siblings and watched their expressions hoping they showed a little gratitude.
She smiled up at Crunch but before giving an opinion on what name they should pick she let her siblings speak first curious to hear of their ideas.

The wolf had his eyes meet with his brothers, a solemn expression covering up the remains of a gob-smacked and shattered face. "Of course..." The wolf murmured non-chalently, shaking his head to his neck, fluffing up his fur a bit as though he didn't care. And of course, being the complete genius Snickers was, he comprehended no hidden meaning his br-...his alpha's words.
Eyes turning towards his older sister Gracia as Crunch announced her mew rule, feigning interest as he had to keep his mind on something before it completely caved in on him.
Absent-mindedly the male shrugged at naming, showing an obvious lack of interest than he would on normal conditions. There was no blurting out or even wildly fantasized conceived thoughts of pack names that singled him out for the madly sexy and intelligent individual he was; the emotional slump had apparently shorted out his brain at the moment.

Gracia raised her head. "Leader of pup-watchers? Sounds simple enough, thank you." Though this was just words to keep Twix, the new beta, off her case. In the morning her punishment would be up and she would most likely disappear and find the water ways with Snickers once they got to the new territory.
"As the head of pup sitters, do I pick which wolves are going to help inside the area? Or are you and Twix still assigning them? Not that it really matters or anything," the last words were quick and rushed so not to make either of the leaders snap.

Crunch snorted and rolled his eyes, here he was being nice to his siblings and all they wanted to do was continue with questioning. "Gracia, until the pack gets large, everyone will be helping out everyone else. We will work on killing large game so we don't have to hunt daily."
In other words, he wasn't answering his sister's questions directly, but with his dark eyes, she knew that the decision still laid with Crunch and Twix at the end.
"I'm heading in for the night. I'll be getting everyone moving at the moment the sun breaks the horizon, so get some sleep." With his last words, the white stockings moved towards the den.

Twix watched her siblings with disapproval, was nothing their brother did enough for the ingrates? She barely held back a growl before watching Crunch head back into the den.
"Goodnight Crunch..." she called after him before heading down to Snickers and Gracia.
She glanced at the two of them silently a moment before giving a soft huff and deciding to save it. She made her way up to snuggle into a warm spot if she could find one determined to wake before the sun could kiss the sky with even the faintest light.

Forcing a yawn the wolf swung himself up from his sitting position, shaking his neck fur once more as Snickers gave a bored -and slightly blank- look around the area, a light blue gaze following the retreating backs of his sister and older brother before landing on Gracia.
"As I see I am no longer....required here, I shall be off to my quarters~" He called out, to everyone and no-one. Turning on his heel, the male started off back in the direction he'd come from, hips swaggering without losing a stride. He planned on sleeping in, and he couldn't miss out on that.
