Winter's Grasp

[Tei]

The barren land was getting cold for such an open area. Dark gray clouds gathered over-head, threatening to release the water it had gathered in the form of snow. And while this was going on, the Alphess was out wandering, having no place for her destination in mind. The cliffs of the camp behind her now, her crimson eyes were held towards the ground, but the wolfess didn't see anything but her paws. Wherever they brought her was where her journey would end for the day. It was rare to see the usually cocky and snapping Alphess in such a depressed looking mood.

However, she was anything but. Tei was thinking about Kai, her old mate, the pups she threw away. And now, the pack of siblings that insisted on making parts of her job so much harder. Cloud, the only warrior she had. The beta no one had seen in forever. The little pup the traitor to Chaos Rheins had brought over. And one of the newest arivals: a young wolf by the name of Deonte. Her pack was just a big group of misfits willing to follow their leader to the end. And with this, Tei laughed. Could sucha pack really bring down Chaos Rheins? If she had anything t say about it, these wolves would get whipped into shape before that time came.

Reme sighed wearily as he stood. He had been lying on that smooth gray rock for the longest time, pondering recent developments with his new pack's enemies, Chaos Rheins. Mentally, he wondered at why exactly they were enemies. From what he had heard from Tei, they seemed kind and generous. (He believed Tei had used words such as weak and foolish. He was simply assuming that was what was meant because if he wanted reassurance he would need to ask, and he liked walking on four legs, thank you.)

He noticed a wolf walking by that was not Tei. Of course, if it had been Tei, he never would have considered asking if Tei had seen herself lately; that would have made him sound like a complete and total idiot.

Anyways, if she had left word with another, it would be smart to see if she wanted disturbances. "Excuse me," he said softly but clearly to the wolf that was not the alphess. "Have you seen our Lady Tei lately?"

[Tei]

"What?" she snapped, stopping in her trek. What idiot of a wolf wouldn't know their own leader when they saw her? Tei snapped her head towards the voice, only slightly surprised to see the advisor, Reme, asking her such a question. Of all the wolves in her pack, she always thought he was one of the more intelligent ones. Maybe he had jsut proved her wrong. Tail flicking once in irritation, she growled low, turning to face the male. "Of all the- What do you want, Reme? I have important business to plan out that I hope to be carried out in a few days time. So make it quick."
