Silvana howled a challenge as well, not caring that she did not have a rank yet. She wanted to be Beta and had a crush on Rahl, even if he was a bit jumpy. As they raced toward the challenger, Silvana stayed close behind the male beta. She ran proudly, her fur standing up to make her look larger than she was. Silvana was hoping that this would be her chance to shine, and that Xavier would name her Beta after seeing her fight.<br/><br/>If not... Well, she wasn't afraid of her competitors.<br/>~~~~~<br/>Kiba crept into the Evol territory, keeping himself as low as possible. His fur would have helped him blend in if it weren't for the patches of snow on the ground. He expected that the entire pack was going to eliminate the loner that had challenged them and reinforce their boundaries by scent marking.<br/><br/>Before they got back, Kiba would have to find a place to hide out in their territory and wait for his best opportunity to win over one of the females. The melting snow was a reminder of the coming spring, and the coming heat. Kiba was tired of waiting, and he wanted to start his own pack this year.
