Maria could hear the return calls alerting them of there postions, it seemed some had gone farther then other's that would make this hard for her an the<span style="font-style: italic">whelp</span>she thought as she watched the Omega. No longer was he bouncing but his tail was still she could tell by his frame he was nervous. Being older then him by a few summers an being the Beta's daugther she had to take lead. Quietly an slowely they padded through the forest floor there figures not making a sound as the intruder's scent got stronger.<br/><br/>Maria motioned for the Omega to stay back putting her gray form in front of his an starring him down her blue eyes telling him to stay. His body twitched as he was about to whine, she let out a low growl that was obscured by the river that close by. The Omega's head lowered an stayed put laying on the ground his brown eyes looking up at her pleading silently. But Maria did not budge in her reslove, again she silently padded through the brush. The light sound of digging perked up her ears as she flatened them in anger.<br/><br/>Closer an closer she could hear the digging as the metal shovel  dug into the dark earth. Finally the human came into view, it was an older man in his late 40's. His head covered in salt an pepper a beard covered his chin but he was clrealy over weight an not suited to the outdoor life. He appeared to be alone, inside she smiled enjoying the thought of freightening him from there land. But as she watched him she saw exaclty what he was doing, a lound clank of metals collided together. Maria couldn't help but let out a growl the man had reveled the item that Maria hated abouve all things. Wolf traps, a painful flash back made her mind whince as she watched him place the trap an set it.<br/><br/>She couldn't risk the other's falling onto it, being in that much pain it was harder to maintain a form wolf or human. Uncontrolled shifting while injury could cause one to be maimed. It was a fate worse then death for shifters. The anger boiled in Maria so with her anger fueling her anger she revealed herself into the open. Fangs bared at the human a deep threatening growl echoed from her chest. the man took notice as he whirled around to see her gray figure thereatening him. she let out a threatening bark making him jump backwards he barely missed the hole he made for her kind.<br/><br/>Maria's eyes narrowed she had wanted him to fall into his own trap, feel what it was like to be in such terriable pain. The anger in her raising again she began to inch closer a deep growl echoing from her. But unknown to Maria another human had been in the area an  had taken notice of her threatening growls an now sat in the bushes downwind of her a rifle in hand aimed at Maria wiith her fangs bared at the fat human.
