Seconds had turned into minutes as Lupa started to climb the higher trees of the wood around them. Her body moving with a ease and grace only those that shifted into feline forms could out do. Her muscles flexing within the skin as she reached high into the tree tops. She balanced her body carefully along the limber branch just as a single howl filled the air. Lupa could almost sigh with relief as a chorus of howls filled the air from below.  Some were rough of nature and guttural while others had a soft tone to them that came from the wild cats.<br/><br/>Lupa let out a loud howl of her own before descending back towards the ground in a mixture of jumps and swings from the branches. A smile on her face by the time her bare feet brought dust up. A element of peace had filled the small circle now all knew who would be keeping them together for another year.<br/><br/>Lupa could already see a few of the females readying themselves to pounce on the new pack master when he arrived. She sighed quietly shaking her head. There must be some benefits to being the alpha male of course but she would not wish to swap places with Adrian at that point in time.
