It serves not only to house the Alpha, or Alpha pair, and their family, but also as the meeting &amp; council house for the village as a whole. Large and welcoming, it has a main hall that is set up similar to the Beta House. In times of need it can house visitors, especially omegas on pilgrimage.<br><br>Ts'itu's living space is toward the back, separated by a wall. It is fairly small in comparison to the main hall, but still spacious. She keeps mostly to a lower tier near the fire, storing her weapons, healing herbs, and clothing on the lower tier nearest to the entrance. Most of the back areas where pups and such would sleep she keeps dark but clean. Like the alpha herself, the space is efficient but somewhat lonely.</span>

She wasn't a very sociable person and her father always tried to make her interact with people when she just wanted to be alone. Hell she didn't even know if anyone around her even liked her, she never really spoke much to anyone and kept her distance. Even during hunts she stayed quiet and simply did what she was supposed too. Her brown eyes scanned the room and she could see her father making his way over to her, she knew this was going to happen eventually and she sighed before rolling her eyes. As the large man approached she eyed him angrily as if telling him to just leave her alone. <br><br>"You know you can come out of hiding and join everyone else Tsaghtuu" ,Ggaal stated as he knelt down to be at eye level with his daughter. The look on her face told him she didn't want to be bothered but he hated the fact that she was always so distant. Ggaal always figured it was because she was shy and he wanted her to open up more. <br><br>"Fuck off Ggaal" ,Tsaghtuu whispered angrily. She never called him dad because she knew it bothered him and usually whenever she called him by his name it made him so mad he'd leave her be, not this time though. <br><br>"Tsaghtuu, Stop it! You're being nasty for no reason" ,Ggaal responded in a calm but firm tone. <br><br>"I said FUCK OFF!" ,Tsaghtuu snapped. <br><br>Ggaal sighed and looked into his daughter's eyes, there was so much sadness in them mixed with anger and a whole mix of other emotions. He never seen happiness in them anymore and he worried for her. "Tsaghtuu, please can you just try and be social. We're all family here there's no reason to hide and be so distant" ,he told her. <br><br>"I don't wanna be social, I wanna go to sleep" ,Tsaghtuu stated in response defiantly. She didn't really wanna go to sleep she just told her father that in hopes he would let her go back to the Beta house thinking she needed rest. <br><br>"You're not going to sleep until the party is over and you've interacted with at least one other person....other then me" ,Ggaal stated sternly. <br><br>"Fuck you" ,was all Tsaghtuu said in response before turning her head away from the man.

Her mind continued to circle around her earlier conversation with Zhergan, yet she shook it away with determination each time. Fretting wouldn't accomplish anything and as her home had been taken over for a pack celebration it wasn't as if she could sleep away her worries. So she simply let go, purposefully pushing away anything that might remind her of the responsibilities waiting in the wings.<br><br>She walked through the crowded room, nodding toward those she knew and stopping briefly to ruffle pups hair as they scrambled through the press of adults. Though she might have joined the warriors sharing stories or those who'd gathered around some ale taken on a raid, she instead continued to wind her way toward where the music and dancing was. There was no better way to lose inhibitions in a way that would allow her to retain the pack's respect than with a few dances.<br><br>Soon enough she was on the area that had been cleared by dancing bodies. The low beat of drums and the high call of flutes mingled together, seeming to caress the bodies of those dancing with their seductive notes. A genuine smile tilted her lips and she allowed herself to join the dance. It wasn't formalized, having no purpose other than expression and enjoyment. Most were using the music and the dance to find themselves willing partners for the night.<br><br>She dragged her hands up her body. It was mostly bared in deference to the heat of the house. Firelight licked across her skin, causing patterns to flicker in and out of existence. Undecorated deerskin wreathed her breasts and hips, and silver bracelets and anklets chimed at her limbs. The wild mess of her hair gleamed as she whirled around the fire. Agile on her bare feet, she laughed and tossed her head back in a deliberately seductive motion. Unlike most, she likely would find no partner on the dance floor, but she would enjoy the possibility.

He let a soft yawn and moved to the dance floor, his eyes soon found Ts'itu and he let a soft smile as he approached her. He moved her way, being careful not to bump in to anyone more than he had to as he moved her way. <br><br>He had dressed down a bit, he was only in pants and boots, his cloak had been discarded in the heat of the room and a soft sheen of sweat covered his large frame. He smiled a bit as he finally arrived at her side and leaned in a bit close. "Would you care for a dance, my lovely Alpha?" He asked her in a soft tone and waited for her to answer him. <br>

She licked her lips and let her eyes drag down his form. Injured as he was there was still unmistakeable power to him. Sweat glimmered on his skin, a sign that the ever present heat in the house was getting to him as it had to her. When her eyes lifted to meet his gaze there was mischief in her smile. She tossed her hair over one shoulder and stepped closer to him, close enough that when she breathed deeply her breasts would brush against the broad expanse of his chest. "I might," she breathed as she slung an arm around his neck and pulled him still closer.<br><br>In the morning she might regret it. Though Kon acted oddly around her and that Danae made pointed comments, he'd never seemed to stare after her with the hunger that his friend did for Danae. There was nothing to say he was not simply being polite. For all that, she did not stop.<br><br>Drawing him deeper into the fray of dancing bodies where they might be lost for at least a few moments, she looked up at him with darkened green eyes. "Dance with me," she said in a tone that brooked no argument. Her lithe form pressed against him and began to writhe in time with the drumbeats. Not once did her gaze waver from his, the tilt of her lips a challenge and a promise.

His body eagerly met her challenge and for the first time in much longer than he could or cared to remember. He had learned to hide it in himself after he had given her the look so often and it had gone unseen and unnoticed. He let a deep but soft growl as he smiled at her. "As if I would refuse you." He said to her, the smile turning into a bit of a smirk.<br><br>He took a slow breathe, taking in her scent as he did, bright green eyes flashing darkly for a moment as he did. As much as he had grown to prefer to hide his hunger, he couldn't put it away once more. His muscles rippled as he moved, aching for the motions of a different dance with the woman before him but he wouldn't push her. He placed a hand on her hip, the touch of skin giving off a small jolt as he did it and brought another low growl.

"Tsaghtuu please" ,he begged once more. His blue eyes staring directly into her brown ones. She looked to him after a few moments and let out a low growl making him sigh. She was getting on his last nerve. <br><br>"I said to fu...." ,Tsaghtuu began about to swear at her father again when she heard it. The music playing, how she hadn't noticed it before was odd. She looked over to the people playing and slowly stood, her eyes and ears fixed. Tsaghtuu was feeling quite hot so she shed her long bearskin coat and began walking slowly towards the beautiful sounds. She wore a pair of loose fitting pants and a pair of boots with a vest to cover her upper half, she ran a hand through her hair as she got closer. <br><br>Ggaal watched as Tsaghtuu stood and made her way over to the few people playing music and singing, a confused look came across his face as he watched his daughter slowly approach. The young wolf seemed to be mesmerized. When Tsaghtuu reached the band he watched as she sat down close to them and closed her eyes and for once....smiled. <br><br>She sat there letting the music flow through her body, her surroundings meant nothing to her now. Tsaghtuu didn't care where she was at the moment as she let the music completely take her away. After a few moments she began to hum lowly and eventually sing along as she swayed slowly to the beat in her seated position. Normally she didn't sing around anyone but to her there was no one else there at the moment just her and the band playing the beautiful music that consumed her entire being.

The sound was nearly lost in the music yet it seemed to reverberate down her bones. His words were light but as his smile shifted into something more predatory, it was clear that at least for the night he was interested. Ts'itu rather thought she could work with a single night. "Good boy," she said, voice husky and dark.<br><br>The hand at the back of his neck moved up, fingers tangling into his hair as she pulled his face closer to her own. His hand moved to rest on her hip. Another low growl, and the hunger on his face seemed to intensify. She smirked and then leant up just slightly, her leg hitching on his hip as her lips brushed against his throat. White teeth glimmered for a moment before sinking into tender, sweaty skin just hard enough to leave a mark.<br><br>Then she spun from his grip. In the human world it might be considered a rejection, but in the Tikaan world her sparkling eyes and her challenging words couldn't be mistaken. "Come and get me, hunter, if you can." Her shoulder came up in a coy motion and she disappeared into the dancing crowd once more.

He let a soft growl again, a smile on his face at the little game she was playing with him, he had to wonder just how long she had intent to play hard to get for him tonight. He did hope it wouldn't last too long.<br><br>He caught a glimpse of her and went her way quickly, wondering if he would be able to get to her fast enough. He focused on her scent, a bit of a task in such a crowded room but he did hope that he would get to her soon. As he got closer he reached for her, trying to catch her hand as she moved.

As alpha she was used to pushing until there was no more left to give. She demanded excellence from her warriors. On the battle field this led to victory. In lust it usually led to warriors who were too worn out to try to continue pursuing her. It pleased her that Kon was trying to follow her through the crowd, that he hadn't given up at the first sign of a challenge.<br><br>Perhaps, she considered, she should have thought of him for this before. She laughed brightly, the sound fluttering along like a bird on the winds of the music. He might catch the sound or it might be lost, she didn't care either way. For a moment he got close, his hand reaching out to grab her own. She smirked at him, a fang peeking out between her lips as she did so. "Ah ah," she said teasingly.<br><br>Using the crowd's whirling patterns, she slipped behind him and pressed up against his back. Her nails raked up his chest teasingly, leaving welts that would disappear within minutes. Her teeth nipped lightly at an earlobe, her breath sweet and hot as she said, "Come, you must be better than this, hunter. What kind of prey do you think me, to give in so easily?" As easily as she'd come against him, the crowd pulled her away again. It was time to see just how badly he wanted her.

The stars were out in full and her green eyes cast up at them, watching them gleam against the obscure, vast heavens. The old man had always told her that they were souls who had departed earth, souls that had left their lives to life above, watching over the cosmos below diligently. She watched them for a little longer, before averting her gaze, focusing on the ground beneath her. The light snow crunched under her feet as she took a couple of steps on the spot, as if testing the ground, though in reality the redhead was testing her injured ankle. Hiti waited quietly, just outside the Alpha's house. She had asked Skrida is he would meet with her and accompany her to the party the Tikaan were throwing that evening; she'd spent all day resting and had decided she was too curious not to attend, though she didn't plan on staying long. She only wanted to see what the wolves did, how many there were and what they looked and acted like. Of course, she completely denied this fact when repeating it to herself, trying to think of a better excuse to go. Frankly, Hiti wasn't brave enough to go alone and managed to pluck up the courage to as Skrida. <br><br>Hiti waited patiently, her green orbs staring out at the village as she leaned herself back against a tree, just beside the Alpha's home, relieving the pressure from her ankle. Her arms crossed over her chest under a massive cream pelt she had been given upon arrival that covered the length of her body, only revealing the toes of her boots. Underneath, she was dressed in a baggy, short sleeved, black tunic, decorated with deep red stitching; it was a slight v-neck, opening at her chest a little, though it didn't reveal much skin other than her arms, neck and a small portion of her collar bones and chest. The tunic was cinched in at the waist, folding over itself thanks to the help of a plain leather belt that helped show off her small waist. Her legs were covered in a pair of tight, tan coloured cotton trousers that would look as if they were her bare legs, if it wasn't for the stitching up the sides. They were, of course, tucked into her boots she had worn when arriving at the village; dark brown boots lined with light fur that peeked out over the tops where they had been folded over. She wore her precious pendant (http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/6053533/il_340x270.279697637.jpg) on a chain around her neck, tucked into her tunic so it wouldn't be seen. <br><br>The redhead let out a small sigh, her eyes tracking the white air that escaped her lungs and into the night. She let a small smile cover her features, if only for a second; the little things had always pleased her the most.

He turned and melted into the crowd, his skin longed for her touch again as he moved and waited, his ear throbbed lightly where she had bit him. He loved it and he wanted more of her, he didn't care if they did it before this crowded room. He would gladly let all of them watch and not bat a lash over it. He saw her once more but made no move, edging closer.<br><br>As she was in the right spot, he looped an arm around her waist, pulling her back against him as he leaned his powerful frame a bit, nipping her neck softly and letting another low growl for her to hear. "I wouldn't expect you to give in easily, but you cannot blame me for testing the waters before leaping into them." He whispered in her ear, his chest pressing to her as he took in her scent again and held her a bit firmly against him.

It seemed as though his daughter would be alright for the time being but he did still want her to at least talk to the others before they left for the night but for now he knew she was at least happy by the smile he had seen on her face so he decided to leave her alone for the time being. <br><br>A few of the pups he trained ran up to him as he walked around aimlessly and greeted him. The man loved his job and helping out the pack and felt honored that he was chosen to train the younger generation. To be trusted with such a responsibility made him feel great. Ggaal kept looking over to Tsaghtuu every now and then just to make sure she was still in the room and hadn't run off like she normally did but other then that he pretty much watched as everyone else had fun and danced around. The old wolf may be in good shape but dancing was definitely not his thing nor was it something he was about to do. <br><hr><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/88/Tsaghtuu_Can.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>:Tsaghtuu Can<br><strong>Who:</strong>OPEN<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Evening<br><hr>Tsaghtuu opened her eyes for a moment feeling fulfilled and happy, she hadn't stopped singing and even started to drum her fingers against the floor to the beat of the music being played. She noticed her father had finally left her alone to do whatever it was he did when he wasn't around bothering her. The young wolf had contemplated leaving for a brief second but was quickly getting right back into the music, the smile on her face not once fading. Any cares or anger she had earlier seemed to fade away, she had even thought about apologizing to her father but that thought was very short lived. <br><br>After a few moments she herself stood as people danced around, she looked to the band and gave them all a warm smile before turning around and looking to the crowd. Tsaghtuu was going to try and speak with someone from the pack to take her father's advice and interact but got to nervous and simply turned and sat back down. It wasn't that she was shy, she just didn't know how to approach people and usually when she did she'd say something offensive or the way she spoke would make them think she was giving an attitude when she wasn't. The young wolf simply looked back to the band playing music and continued what she had been doing, once more getting lost in the music. <br><br>

It was always nice having these feasts, especially after the group had been away for so long. Seeing everyone dance and laugh and have a good time was one of the things Danae loved most about the parties, even if she was nervous about Seni being here tonight. With a deep breath, she entered the large house, taking in the sights. There were a lot of small groups talking, but she knew where Ts'itu would be. <br><br>Making her way closer to the music, she spotted Ts'itu dancing with Kon. They seemed to be having a moment, and she knew how Kon felt about their Alpha, but she really needed to speak to her friend. She stood there watching for a moment, contemplating what to do.<em> 'She seems like she doesn't want to be interrupted,'</em> she thought to herself. Finally, she decided that whatever they may be doing or about to do, could certainly wait. Moving through the crowd wasn't easy, but Danae's slender frame glided past the dancing people until she came to Ts'itu and Kon. She cleared her throat, though she doubted she could be heard above the drums, so she cleared it a little louder. <br><br>"I'm sorry Kon, but I must speak to the Alpha, it's very important," she grabbed Ts'itu's hand and pulled her away. Her voice was a little shaky, though she managed to put up a good front, or so she thought. She knew that Ts'itu would see right through her, as she always had, but to others it may not be so obvious. When she finally made her way to a quieter corner of the room, she looked at her <em>sadae</em>, her face full of worry. "Ts'itu," she looked at the ground, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I have something to tell you.." Danae paused and looked around the room, moving closer so she could whisper to her friend. "..Seni has asked to mate me," she finally got out, her hands squeezing Ts'itu's tightly. "I'm not sure what to say, and for once sister, I do not know what to do."<br><br>((Link to my previous post in the Shaman House: HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178713.msg8567222#msg8567222).))

His warmth pressed against her back as he held her tightly with one arm. A soft growl left her as he nipped at her neck. Normally she wouldn't allow such a thing, but instead she simply smirked and reached up to bury her hands in his hair. "Well, you should leap, hunter," she growled, grinding her hips back up against him in a suggestive manner. Just as she thought he might actually get around to spinning her to face him, perhaps do some more touching with those marvelous hands of his, she caught the scent of her <em>daedze</em> approaching.<br><br>She turned her head and frowned a bit. Danae's movements were as smooth as ever but her features kept slipping into something resembling worry. She'd already begun pulling away from Kon, however reluctantly, in order to reach for her friend. Danae reached them and grabbed her outstretched hand. Ts'itu frowned as she caught the shake in the girl's voice. "I'll be back, Kon," she said, turning to the wolf, lips stretched into a small smile.<br><br>Then she allowed Danae to lead her away, toward a corner of the room that was considerably quieter than the others. She waited, knowing that Danae would start speaking soon enough. True enough, Danae began after a few moments. She stopped briefly after saying Ts'itu's name, her gaze darting about as if to assess who was nearby. When she continued, Ts'itu's jaw quite literally dropped. She only barely felt Danae's hands squeezing her own.<br><br>"He is...he is an honorable warrior, Danae. Long has he watched you with desire, there is not doubt that his intentions are good. I do not doubt he would be a strong mate." Ts'itu paused, tightening her own grip on Danae's hands. Her green eyes surveyed her sister's face, noting every minute change. "But would you return his feelings?" she said. "For if you would not, I swear I will make it so that he never again bothers you. And if you would have him, then...well, I suppose I shall simply have to threaten him appropriately."<br><br>And yet, though she meant the words truly, she was caught with a feeling of reluctant fear. She'd never imagined that she might lose her <em>daedze</em> to something such as mating, not so soon. She could not be selfish. She could not. So she smiled slightly and realeased one of Danae's hands, instead reaching up to cup the younger woman's cheek. "Listen to your heart, <em>daedze</em>."<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5a/Skrida.png)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Skrida<br><strong>Who:</strong> Hiti<br><strong>Where:</strong> Near the Sacrifice House<br><strong>When:</strong> Night<br><br><hr><br>When Hiti had tentatively asked him to accompany her to the upcoming celebration, Skrida had been surprised. Of course, her curiosity was unmistakeable for anything other than what it was. For all that she was understandably wary of her new captors, she was also deeply intrigued by them. While it might take her longer to adjust than Unna, given that she <em>was</em> so wary, yet adjust she would. Her curiosity would guarantee as much.<br><br>The night air was cold as he walked toward the Sacrifice House. It was not his home, yet for now it would be hers. He'd agreed to meet her here, that he might show her through the village to the Alpha House. Snow crunched beneath his feet and he placed his hands behind his head. Skies glittered above him but he paid them little mind.<br><br>"Hiti," he called as he approached her. Nearly to her form now, he took in that she'd dressed quite nicely for the event. "You'll garner attention that way, luv, but I expect you'll enjoy it. The Tikaan are supposedly marvelous lovers." He winked at her and smiled, implying his joke in case she'd not caught it. "Come, we wouldn't want to be late."

She always felt out place at events like these, especially when others started to pair off as Ts'itu and Kon were at the moment. What bothered her was the need, the desire, she felt in wanting to have a mate, a companion, to stand by her side at all times. As she left the Alpha House Danae walked past her with a determined look on her face but Son' Lahleli paid her no mind and kept moving; she was soon stepping out into the clear, fresh night.<br><br>Sighing into the cold air, she pulled her cloak tighter against her back, the thick material reaching just to her waist and wrapping at least twice around her. Her feet were encased in light leather boots, barely thick enough to shelter her from the more frigid night time temperatures. She also wore tight leggings that had been bought at the market, a trade someone else had made with the humans a few months back. Her tunic was visible under the cloak, a pale leather that was as soft and light as the boots and reached down to mid-thigh, cinched at the waist by a simple leather belt. The wind picked up and tugged at her hair, pulling it behind her as a playful child would. She shook her head slightly and glanced up at the sky to take in the stars, eyes crinkling at the corners as she picked out her favorite grouping, the ones that reminded her of her pack and of safety.<br><br>It was as she passed a large tree that something started to feel off. Pausing, Son' Lahleli took a small sniff and immediately tensed when a strange scent accompanied the familiar smells of her pack and the village. She glanced around wearily but didn't notice anyone right away.<br><br>"Show yourself!" Her voice was loud enough to be heard over the noise coming from the Alpha House but not so loud as it would the attentions of those inside. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" As she talked she shifted her weight, legs loosening slightly and feet slipping easily across the snowy ground into a ready position, her arms remained at her sides but her hands were curled into fists and her muscles were ready to spring at any moment, coiled and ready for a potential fight.<br><br><br><hr><hr><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ef/Reia-NilteniTudi_Posting02.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Nilteni Tudi<br><strong>Who:</strong> Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of Hunger Moon<br><hr><br>Nilteni let out a small yawn as he leaned back against a wall, the thickness of the overly warm air inside the Alpha House not helping him to stay awake. He noticed the moment his sister slipped away and he let out a small sigh of disappointment. It would have been nice if she had stayed a little longer but he knew that it would also have been impossible to convince her of the benefits of doings so.<br><br>As he looked away from the entrance Nilteni saw Danae pull Ts'itu away from Kon and into a back corner. Kon settled down near him, a slightly disgruntled expression on his face, and Nilteni couldn't miss an opportunity to tease the other wolf slightly. "You keep getting interrupted just when things start getting interesting. Frustrating?" His voice was light, warmth carrying through it, and he made sure to smile at Kon, his features lit up in boyish delight.

She jumped a little, the beating of her heart increased for a second, until she realized it was him calling to her. Letting out a small sigh of relief, the redhead pushed away from the thing she'd been leaning on. It took her a minute to remember his name; she always had trouble with them, she knew it began with 'S' though! Nodding to him in greeting, she raised a hand to give a small wave before parting her lips to speak. "S..Skrida. Hey." Hiti managed a smile, though it was slightly forced. When he commented on her attire, she blinked, glancing down at herself. She hadn't even thought about dressing up for the occasion, but somehow she had managed to do so. Her face flushed a little at his comment and she began shaking her head. "H-Hell no! I didn't... I mean, I didn't do this on...For them, I didn't-" Hiti was completely lost as she stuttered out her excuses, completely flustered by the thought of having 'dressed up' for the occasion. She hadn't even noticed!<br><br>"D-Do you think I should go home and change?" Her green orbs darted up to stare into his darker ones, obviously concerned and confused. She looked down at herself again and pulled her cloak around her form, hiding her clothing. This caused her to have a sudden idea; She just wouldn't take her cloak off! Hiti quietly admired her secret brilliance, the emotions so obvious on her expression, before nodding to herself. She wasn't planning on staying long anyways, so she had no need to remove it! <em>'Oh, Hiti, You are such a thinker!</em> She grinned at her own comment, happy with herself before being drawn back to reality by Skrida's words. "Oh, yes! Let's go." <br><br>Hiti walked carefully, obviously not trying to put much pressure on her ankle while at the same time trying to make it seem as if she was perfectly fine. The redhead glanced at the male beside her, her hands linking behind her back as she gave a small bow to look up at him, a smile on her features. "Thank you for coming with me tonight. I really appreciate it." It wouldn't take them long to get to the Alpha's hut from here, hopefully she could just get there and sit down somewhere in the corner. Maybe she could just watch them for a bit and nobody would notice her; that would be nice.

What music did to the young wolf's mood was something nearly no one could understand. Every time she heard a good beat or a good song she fell in love with the music and her whole body and soul became comforted as if she were wrapped in a warm blanket. Finally she had enough courage and strength to approach someone else within her pack. Tsaghtuu stood and took a deep drawn out breath and looked around to see who was alone in the house at the moment. She spotted a younger wolf and decided to make her way over to him. <br><br>When she reached Seni she gave him a smile one that was very rarely seen on her face, "Hi....I was told....well more like ordered by my father to interact with others in the pack" ,she began. Tsaghtuu noticed he had his eye on a lovely female in the pack and it only made her smile even more. "I see you've got an eye on that one" ,she stated quietly so that only Seni could hear her as she looked over to Danae. She realized that she may be being a little intrusive and bit her bottom lip nervously, "S-sorry if I seem to be a little....intrusive....I-I just noticed the way you're looking at her and....and I think that it is wonderful....I can see the love in your eyes it's more then just a physical attraction and I admire that" ,Tsaghtuu stated giving Seni a warm smile. Love for another person was something Tsaghtuu had never felt in her life and to see the look of desire in Seni's face gave her a warm feeling in her gut and she hoped the man got what he wanted for she could tell he was a good man and that was why she approached him.

"Hiti, it was just a jest," he said, making sure to look her in the eye. "And if any of the wolves give you trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to hit them for you." His grey eyes for once lacked the sparkle of mischief they so often contained, and his body was corded with tension. After a few moments of silence, he paused and then lifted one shoulder in a half shrug. Once more laughter became etched into his features, though it was more subdued. His eyes remained on her, clearly studying her reactions. "Well, save for our noble alpha. She may not be large but I'm fairly sure she could make mince meat of me."<br><br>It was impossible to tell if she'd heard him, but he was relieved to see her features brighten. He had a feeling it had less to do with his comments and more to do with the way she'd tucked her white fur cloak more firmly around her form. <em>I'll wager she thinks that won't be coming off tonight,</em> he thought. The poor girl had no idea how hot the Alpha House became during celebrations. Still he would not dissuade her of this thought. Her manner of dress now was appropriate and would gain her some standing among the pack.<br><br>She began walking and he stared after her. After only a moment, he shook his head and jogged to catch up with her. It took only a few ground eating strides, and he was surprised to find that even once he'd slowed to a walk he was forced to further slow himself in order to keep from outpacing her. He eyed her a bit and noted the way she was favoring her ankle.<br><br>With a light smile, he put his hands behind his head once more and linked his fingers together. "It's no problem, luv," he said easily. "I'm glad you thought to come at all. I think you'll enjoy it. Whatever one might say about the Tikaani, they know how to throw a fantastic party." As they continued to walk, his mind wandered toward Mikla. The carpenter had mentioned his intention to escort Unna to the celebration earlier that day, something that caused Skrida no end of amusement. At this rate, she'd have the mighty beast tamed in no time. <em>As if you've room to talk,</em> he thought with a wince. Certainly he was coming for only two reasons. The first was walking beside him. The second he hoped would be waiting within the Alpha House.<br><br>Said House rose up before them, clearly lit from within. Music came from it's walls and there were bursts of laughter and talking that could be heard even from outside. "Ready?" he asked, turning to look at Hiti as he placed his hand upon the door, ready to shove it open.

She blushed a bit at the admission and didn't know why she was being so honest with the man before her but she felt comfortable in his company and that was something very rare for the young wolf.

As if she could feel his eyes on her, she glanced over at him, only holding his gaze for a moment before blushing and looking back to Ts'itu. She had known Seni for a very long time, and she was sure he felt deeply for her, but her friend's words held her for a moment. Could she return his affections? Would she love him as her mother and father loved each other? She knew that she loved Seni as a friend, but she had never even considered he wanted more, until now.<br><br>Even through her worry, she couldn't help but smile at Ts'itu, her threatening words striking something deep within Danae. As she looked at this woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions. This was her sister, her <em>sadae</em>, and the bond they had ran deep. It was something that she made sure never to take for granted, and she knew they would do anything for her. So when Ts'itu put a hand on Danae's cheek, and told her to listen to her heart, she gave a nod, her words worth more than gold.<br><br>Looking back over to Seni, she saw he was now talking to a younger pup, but his eyes seemed to always come back to Danae. Her heart, as if on cue, seemed to skip a beat and she let out a light laugh. "I think my heart has certainly spoken," she said, placing one of her hands over her chest. Her eyes went back to Ts'itu, and she chuckled a little. "I am usually the rational one," she said jokingly, though there was truth in her words. Ts'itu often came to Danae to seek her council and advice over many things, pack and personal. But now it seemed that her <em>sadae</em> was the one giving the advice, and this made her smile. She pulled in the girl for a long hug, squeezing Ts'itu tight. "You were not born my blood, but you <em>are</em> my blood sister and I love you," she whispered into her ear, holding back the tears that threatened to break free from her eyes. After a moment, she pulled away and gave her a warm smile. "Now, I think I have someone to talk to," she said with a somewhat shy smile. <br><br>After giving Ts'itu's hand another squeeze, she walked away, toward Seni and the young girl he was talking to. Her stride was one of determination, her body fierce in it's own way. She could feel her aura changing, the colors reflecting the already growing love in her heart. As she made her way to Seni, she could feel his aura, too, almost tangible in her hands. He was such a strong and powerful man, how could she deny him? She always had a hard time admitting her feelings, but this was one time where it was necessary. <br><br>Walking up to the pair, she felt bad interrupting, as she seemed to be doing a lot of it tonight, but she figured Seni would want to hear this. "I'm sorry, may I borrow this man for a moment?," she directed the question toward the girl, giving a respectful bow of the head as she took Seni's hand and walked with him a few steps away from the crowd. "I have thought a lot about your question Seni," she paused for a moment, taking both of his hands in hers, the heat from his body enough to make her head spin. "And I value our friendship very much, but I needed to listen to my heart." She looked over at Ts'itu, giving her a small smile before looking back up at Seni. "I hope you will have me as your mate, and that I can be the woman you see in me," she said the words genuinely, her eyes staring back into his. Yes, she could feel herself falling for him already, her instincts taking over her body, helping her ease into the role of a mate.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e9/Reia-SonLahleli_Posting02.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Son' Lahleli<br><strong>Who:</strong> Tsaghani Udzaey, Skrida<br><strong>Where:</strong> Outside the Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of the Hunger Moon<br><hr><br>"Alright, I'm coming, please do not do anything rash I am not here to harm anyone." A deep unfamiliar voice sounded from just around the tree and Son' Lahleli shifted her stance so she was facing it, stepping back a few paces as she did so. Moments later a tall man, a wolf, came out from the shadows, a thick cloak made of bear hide covering him almost from head to toe. His face was hooded, but from what she could make out, he seemed young, sad almost. Over one shoulder he carried a bow and a quiver of arrows, over his other was a faded and roughed up pack, most likely holding his other supplies.<br><br>"My name is Tsaghani Udzaey," Son' Lahleli snapped her eyes back up to his face from where she'd been staring at his body, taking him in. A light flush rose up on her cheeks and she squared her chin, using the small difference in height between them to seem all that more imposing. "A weary traveler who has come in hopes of finding a place to rest from all my travels." He nodded lightly towards the Alpha House, hands still held up to show he was unarmed. "Is your pack holding a special meeting or is anyone welcome?"<br><br>His voice and heartbeat told her that he was being honest and the weary way he held himself spoke of exhaustion, physical and possibly emotional. She straightened up, not completely at ease but also not as tightly strung as she had been. The blush still tainted her cheeks and she met his eyes square on, not allowing this sudden bout of fluster to diminish her in his eyes. "I am Son' Lahleli," she paused, biting her lip lightly as she debated telling him where he was and what was going on inside the Alpha House but then decided that was best left up to Ts'itu, "welcome to our village. I will take you to our Alpha, she will answer your questions. Follow me."<br><br>The tone she used let him know that it was not a choice and with that, she started walking back towards the Alpha House, all senses on high alert. Son' Lahleli kept the strange wolf, Tsaghani, well within her range of vision, not wanting to miss it should he try anything. Ahead she saw Skrida and one of the new sacrifices reaching the door of the Alpha House and before he could open it she called out to him, knowing it would be better not to leave the stranger unattended. "Skrida!" Turning to the other wolf she motioned for him to stop and gestured to a small patch of shadow, indicating that he should move to it. "Stay out of sight, I don't want to cause undue alarm within my pack."<br><br>Once he had moved she glanced back at Skrida and gave him a tight smile, stepping closer to him, all senses still tuned in to their unexpected guest. "Skrida, I need you to find Ts'itu e'e Son," the use of her full name would let him know this was important and even potential dangerous, "and tell her that I need to see her out here right away. Don't make a big show, we don't want to alarm the others." A pause and then her lips quirked in a more genuine manner, "I know that Nilteni is in there waiting for you, keep an eye on him for me?" Not that she really needed to ask, Son' Lahleli knew that the man would be more than happy to watch Nilteni, but it was a way of ensuring that Skrida would stay inside.<br><br>She waited until he was inside, the female sacrifice ushered in as well, before turning to the new wolf. Son' Lahleli wondered at who he could be. He did seem pretty young, but there was a world weariness to him, as if he carried too much weight on his shoulders. Without really thinking she stepped closer to him and before she could stop herself words spilled out of her mouth. "Have you traveled far?" Immediately she fell silent again, jaw setting in frustration at herself. Never before had anyone flustered her, let alone gotten her to speak without prompting. It wouldn't be much for anyone else, but for Son' Lahleli it was like laying herself as open as a book.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/65IEnCn.png)</div><br><strong>Character name</strong>: Astir<br><strong>Who:</strong> Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Evening<br><hr><br>Astir had arrived just in time to see Kon and Ts'itu on the dance floor, Kon's arm around her waist, nipping her neck. He walked in from the cold and shrugged his heavy jacket off showing off his bare chest and hung it on a hook near by. He wore a pare of simple black leather pants that cut his figure well. He supposed he couldn't blame Kon for trying, Ts'itu looked like she was dressed to kill so to speak. She was nearly irresistible when those moods struck her to take someone for the night. They had, had there nights together, particularly when she couldn't sleep and she needed someone to talk to. He never thought less of her for it as she had been his close friend sense before she was pack leader. The way Kon looked at her, touched her sent a white hot anger rolling through him.<br><br>When Danae interrupted them he thanked the gods because it gave him a chance to calm himself a bit. He was near Ggaal, a man who had helped train him over the years and a man who had to very nearly stop him from trying to throttle Kon. He growled low and it wouldn't be missed by the older man. If Ggaal followed his gaze he would see the object of his irritation. As soon as kon stepped off the dance floor somewhere near Nilteni he walked over to him. As he approached he caught Nilteni's comment, "You keep getting interrupted just when things start getting interesting. Frustrating?"<br><br>He put a firm hand on kon's shoulder. "Lets hope it stays that way." he said with a warning growl before he slipped off, making his way to the dance floor. The music drained away the anger but left the heat. Nesii looked gorgeous as well. He made his way over near her, dark eyes flared with passion as he looked her up and down slowly and started to dance before her. He moved to the music, his body suggestive, masculine, bold. Eyes never leaving hers. he'd come close to her as he danced, almost close enough to touch, close enough to feel the heat between there bodies, naked flesh crying out to be touched, before he would pull teasingly away. He growled low at her adding his low tones to her erotic song. he wanted her to know that if she had any thoughts of midnight wanderings and bedroom games, he was free to play if she desired. When the song ended he winked at her. He checked on Ts'itu and saw Danae had just walked away from her. He wondered what the two of them had been speaking about. He let Nesii know he was going to dance with Ts'itu with a little gesture of his head while at the same time keeping it open for her to dance as well if she so chose. he gave Ts'itu a moment before he took her hand in his when Danae was gone. <br><br>"You look like your on the hunt tonight Ts'itu." he teased her. "Would you have me for this dance?" he asked. Whenever he was interested in a woman his actions were bold and unmistakeable. she knew he had endurance to match his flirtations.

As he spoke of the birds singing she smiled, "I do love the songs that the birds sing, sometimes I wish I could fly like they do" ,Tsaghtuu stated in response as she looked around the room. When she noticed the woman approaching she nudged Seni and motioned towards her. <br><br>"Oh yes feel free" ,Tsaghtuu said to Danae when she asked if she could borrow Seni giving them both a warm smile before making her way through the crowd and back to the band that was playing the music. She had contemplated leaving again but decided against it seeing she was finally having a little bit of fun for once. <br><br>She took a seat and sat Indian style on the floor and watched as they played. The young wolf again became mesmerized by the music this time she didn't let herself get too lost in it though just in case anyone decided to speak to her. Mainly she was waiting for her father to approach her again which she knew would happen eventually before the night was over.

She'd seen Kon and Ts'itu dancing and couldn't help but to think that it was about time their Alpha took the pup well in hand! He followed her around like some doe-eyed calf and 'Nesii hoped that Ts'itu would make a man out of him. She didn't need her Beta's distracted and acting foolish (as unmated males trying to impress females often did) on a Hunt!&nbsp; She'd seen Danae pull their Alpha away from the young Beta and hoped the look of concern wasn't anything more than a personal worry. When she wasn't called to join them she let a slight line of tension roll from her body, lost on the music she was creating, because that indicated that whatever it was, it was something between two women, not for the Pack to worry over.<br><br>Other things were happening as well, pups playing, running between the adults, pairs breaking off for more private moments, arguments being resolved (while no doubt others would start) and people simply enjoying each others company. Much of that became lost on her however when Astir suddenly appeared before her. Watching him as he danced for her, a small smirk curved her lips. She pushed the tempo faster, made the music more aggressive, more demanding, more sensual all at the same time, demanding more from his body than most music would. She heard his growl and snapped her teeth at him sharply, coming closed just a hair's breadth away from the flesh he danced so close to her body. If she hadn't been beating the drums he might have danced away with a set of claw marks down that perfect abdomen of his.<br><br>She watched him, her eyes filled with heat, until he slipped away to draw their Alpha into a dance as well, and then she dismissed him. Attractive as she was, she had no intention of taking Astir to her bed. When she chose a partner, it would be a partner who wanted <em>her</em> not a partner who seemed to want any willing female he could find. Astir was welcome to as many lovers as he wanted, but she wasn't about to become one in another long line of conquests...no matter how well he danced. <br><br>With a sudden laugh she pushed her drum into the hands of another drummer and suddenly spun up from the floor. Flinging her arms up above her head, she winked at the other musicians and began to move with the pulsing beat of the music they now played. Her hips rolled, arms twined, bangles chiming in counterpoint to the music she moved with while her flesh dared the males around her to come and hunt...if they dared.

He smiled again for a moment at her words and then looked into her eyes as he stood with her."You already are the woman that I want, Danae, that is why I asked for you."

When he mentioned the Alpha, Hiti let a small chuckle pass her lips. "Yes, I think hitting her may be more trouble than its worth. Don't worry, I promise not to ask you to hit any of them." Again, another chuckle. Even if she did end up having trouble with any of the Tikaan or even the other Sacrifices, Hiti wasn't the type to complain about it to someone else, although her uneasiness may be clear for the following few days - or however long it took to be sorted out. <br><br>Once Hiti had thanked him appropriately for escorting her to the celebrations, she turned her head to stare forwards again. Her eyes slipped to their corners as she peered inquisitively at Skrida, only to become defensive. Her hands raced to the level of her chest, palms facing forwards, as she shook them with a quick motion. "No, No. I mean, I just thought it was proper...Y'know....To show up when I've been...When I've got to live with everyone. So.." Her sentence drifted towards the end and she let out a sigh. "You know how it is, right?" A slight nervous laughter left her rosy lips as one hand moved to scratch the back of her head; another nervous gesture. "A-Are you excited? For the party, I mean." Quickly, the redhead changed the subject with a slight tilt of the head as she questioned the male beside her. "How many of these have you attended? Do they throw them often?" These questions also made her curious as to how long Skrida had been living with the Tikaan, and also how he came to be where he was. Of course, the redhead could never ask such bold questions and kept them to herself.<br><br>Hiti noticed the Alpha house right away and her first thought was that it was rather big, for just one pers--Tikaan. The music was loud and she could hear the low beat of the drums that only increased as they got closer. Her green eyes were focused on the door of the building and she felt a little anxiety rise up in her chest. Was this really a smart decision? The laughter and banter that could be heard from inside set her mind at ease and she exhaled heavily with relief. Those bright orbs of hers turned on the man beside her as he asked her if she was ready to enter, then to the hand that pressed against the door. Just as she was about to answer him, his name was called from behind and the redhead blinked before turning to glance over her shoulder. The tall, female wolf caught her eye first, then the male behind her. Her bright eyes beamed at the wolves as the female asked Skrida to send the Alpha to her. Hiti remained silent, a little wary of the two but when she was directed into the building, she complied without question. <br><br>Once inside, Hiti glanced back at the closed door before turning her attention to everything else around her, then to Skrida. "Want me to come with?"

He said to Nilteni, a bit of a wry grin on his face until he felt the hand upon his shoulder, the low growl was answered with one larger and much more annoyed. "Turn any more green and I will find you to be markable territory." He said in his own low voice, the threat would still be impressive from a wounded Kon, none of his injuries would hamper him more than a small amount if he truly got the taste for anyone's blood, third in command or not.<br><br>He could feel his fists clench, hard enough to turn his knuckles white, the wolf surged through him a bit, a small ripple in his skin. Danae he could handle, she was respectful and kind and would have only have done so for good reason. Astir was simply an ass, throwing much more of his own weight around than he should with someone like Kon.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5b/Tsitu%2C_Nadaeki_Alpha.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Ts'itu e'e Son<br><strong>Who:</strong> Danae, Astir, Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of Hunger Moon<br><br><hr><br>Ts'itu watched Danae's gaze slid away from her to land on Seni. That's when the blush started, as surely she caught how Seni continued to look at her with such hangdog adoration. It was a relief though to see that despite the blush Danae appeared to be truly considering her options. If Seni were to have swayed Danae into an imprudent match with sweet words and rippling muscles Ts'itu was fairly sure she would have ripped the wolf's head from his shoulders. There was some relief in knowing she would not actually have to kill one of her best betas.<br><br>"I think my heart has certainly spoken," Danae said, placing a hand over her heart. Her smile was bright and she let out a rueful chuckle. There was surety in her green eyes. Even before Danae continued on, Ts'itu knew her <em>daedze's</em> answer. Maybe, she thought, it had always been inevitable. Of course Danae was too sweet and too kind to garner anything other than a mateship proposal from one of the pack's finest warriors.<br><br>To be given a hug so suddenly and in the middle of a party by her usually reserved <em>daedze</em> was enough to shock Ts'itu into momentary silence. Her limbs felt heavy and tears stung at the back of her eyes as she wrapped her own, far more muscular arms around the smaller girl and squeezed tightly. White teeth bit fiercely into her lower lip as she heard Danae's soft spoken words. She turned her head slightly and buried her face into the smaller girl's hair. She'd had Danae's scent imprinted on her memory for longer than she'd known how to shift. As happy as she was she was also deeply saddened. It was only the knowledge that she was alpha and not a pup anymore that allowed her to pull back slightly as whisper back, "As I love you. You will be blessed with a happy mateship, or I swear on Mother Winter he will pay in blood." She pressed a quick kiss to the top of Danae's head and then allowed the girl to pull away.<br><br>As Danae's walked away, toward Seni and her future, Ts'itu wrapped her arms about her middle and fought back tears. It seemed stupid to get so emotional over so natural a thing. She was the <em>alpha.</em> Where was her sense of pride and control? Her teeth sank into her lower lip once more, if only to stop it from trembling. Happiness, true happiness, at her sister's situation battled with the feeling of abandonment. Of being utterly bereft of a companion. <em>Stop it, you're being silly,</em> she thought viciously. She rubbed at her eyes with one hand, dashing away the tears. <em>Danae would never abandon you. And think, soon you might be an auntie. You will be able to scare the living daylights out of Seni. You must stop being <strong>selfish.</strong></em><br><br>And there was Danae, hand in hand with Seni, smile small but utterly brilliant in her delicate face. Ts'itu found it within herself to smile back just as true. "I'll have to start an announcement," she muttered to herself, turning away from the scene that she might go back to the music makers and get them to stop soon.<br><br>Even with her nose slightly clogged by the held back tears, she still recognized Astir's fast approaching scent. Ts'itu grimaced slightly and then rubbed at her eyes briefly but vigorously. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" she said, voice light and carefree as she spun to look at her third. He did look good, chest bare and sheened with sweat, dark curls complimenting the glitter of mischief in his eyes. Any other night she might have taken him up on the bold offer, if only to rile up Kon further and see what the young wolf might do when challenged. After the revelation that her <em>daedze</em> would be mated soon, however, his offer of no strings attached sex just made her want to howl with mingled fury and sorrow.<br><br>Giving him a smile that spoke of exhaustion but little else, she shook her head. Her features became guarded and shuttered, as if she were locking away into her own mind. She was. It was a night of celebration and good tidings. She couldn't afford to linger over why it was that she wished she had a mate to lean against at this moment, someone she could confess it all to without feeling weak. <em>Stop wishing for what does not exist.</em> "Danae and Seni will likely be announcing their intention to mate soon. I must arrange some things in order to help with that celebration. Another time, perhaps."<br><br>Unwillingly her eyes flicked over to Kon. For a space of time he had wanted her. The temptation to go back over to him and forget all of her raging emotions in the strength of his arms and the heat of her bed was great. In the morning, she knew, she would likely regret it though. He'd roll out, clearly both proud and embarrassed at having had a night with the alpha, and then trot off to practice with 'Nesii, to avoid Ts'itu's eyes evermore and mate to some pretty little beta.<br><br>"Perhaps you should go join 'Nesii," Ts'itu suggested, forcibly tearing her gaze away from the young beta to rest upon her second instead. It was well known that while Astir was one of her best friends, if he were to ever mate it would likely be to 'Nesii. Assuming, of course, that he could convince her to mate with him.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5a/Skrida.png)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Skrida<br><strong>Who:</strong> Hiti, Son' Lahleli, Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When:</strong> Night<br><br><hr><br>"Yeah, I know how it is," he said. "I can be happy for you anyway, though. Eira usually avoids these like the plague and no one would have forced you to join, but the fact you are speaks well." She was a curious little cat, her head cocking from side to side as she questioned him further. Though her voice might shake at points it hardly seemed to deter her from her quest to know as much as possible. He found himself smiling at her and shaking his head slightly. "They hold them fairly often. It brightens the pack's spirits and bonds everyone closer together. I've attended every one since I came to live with them, which would have been three years ago about. And yes, I usually enjoy them."<br><br>As they'd reached the door, he saw Hiti get ready to answer his question. She'd seemed a bit nervous as they approached but her features quickly smoothed out. Yet before she'd done much more than open her mouth, the night air was split by Son' Lahleli's voice calling out to him.<br><br>"Yes, Son' Lahleli," he said promptly once she'd finished giving her orders. His eyes went to just behind her, a dark shadow that seemed like it might be another Tikaani. His human senses couldn't tell, but he assumed that the beta warrior had to have found something important if she was insisting that he fetch Ts'itu with discretion. Yet despite the seriousness of the situation a small flush covered his cheeks are her last teasing words. "He's waiting for me? I mean, ah, of course, I'll make sure he doesn't get into any trouble." Though he tried to say the words with his usual teasing aplomb, he missed the mark quite a bit.<br><br>Turning back to Hiti, he pace a hand at the small of her back and gently shoved her through the door as he opened it. If one were to look at his face in that moment they would see both the worry of what might be waiting outside for his alpha, battling with the delighted idea of Nilteni waiting for him. Most likely Son' Lahleli was teasing and trying to keep him indoors, but he would settle for even friendly banter with the beta wolf.<br><br>"Yes, you can come with me. I'm sure the alpha would enjoy meeting you in these brightened circumstances." His eyes searched through the crowd before pinning onto the alpha, who was standing near her third and seemed to be quite tense. Then again, she always seemed tense. So many in the pack, even himself, tended to view her as strangely infallible because she never showed true weakness, yet... Skrida shook himself. "She may wish for your questions by the end of the night," he said finally.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5b/Tsitu%2C_Nadaeki_Alpha.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Ts'itu e'e Son<br><strong>Who:</strong> Astir, Skrida, Hiti, Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of Hunger Moon<br><br><hr><br>Ts'itu noticed the moment that Skrida and the new redheaded sacrifice came in the door. It was not merely because of the chill wind that swept through the heat briefly, or the way that Skrida searched the room before locking onto her. Instead it was a mere nudge at the base of her spine, a need to turn around. It was not unlike what sometimes happened with Kon, but it was all the more unexpected because when she turned it was not on some well known friend or trusted pack member that her eyes landed upon. It was the little redhead, who was clutching a white fur about her tightly.<br><br>As the two began to weave their way through the crowd toward her, she blinked away whatever madness had briefly overcome her. "Go on," she said to Astir, nodding in 'Nesii's direction once more. "You won't win her over standing with me, and I've a feeling there's some pack business I must attend to."<br><br>Skrida and the redhead, she truly needed to garner the girl's name if she was going to be staring at her this often, drew close to her. She pushed some of her hair over one shoulder and then crossed her arms to appear more formidable. If her eyes would be slightly red from the unshed tears, at least her body language could be uncompromising.

He let a growl as the frustrations rose in him again, but he pushed it down as quickly as he could. She had to be given something tonight or he was going to go mad with himself, she needed to see him, for what he wanted to be. It wasn't a one night friend either, now was his time to show her that.<br><br>He moved to her side and took her hand in his gently, she would notice him, his scent, she always did. "I fear if I don't come to you myself people will be keeping us apart for the duration of the night, my Alpha." He said in her ear as he leaned close to her, the heat was still there but it was different, it rolled off of him warmly to match the tone of his voice, almost affectionate in nature. It was affection, the closest he could show to it as he touched her without full permission, enough to get him a slap if she felt it.

Seni made her want to be more open, and even being around him made her feel like a younger pup. She could see the joy written on his face, the rugged exterior pushed aside at the moment. It made her smile back, and when he kissed her, she didn't resist, and instead leaned into it. She found herself missing those lips when he pulled away, but was glad to be pressed against him. His scent was something she knew, but now she saw it much easier, as if he had already become a part of her. Being this close to him was enough to make her forget about the world, the usual worry falling off of her shoulders. He had such an easiness about him, and his aura calmed her as much as hers calmed others.<br><br>"It would make me so proud to be your mate, Seni," she said, the tone almost matter-of-fact. Putting her arms around his neck, she stood up on her tip-toes and gave him another kiss, this time lingering longer, letting herself taste more of him. She pulled away after a few moments, smiling sheepishly. Normally she was so reserved, but she just couldn't help herself. As if realizing where they were, she decided a change of subject was in order, mostly so she wouldn't feel so embarrassed about being so bold in front of this many people.

"Now, we can't waste your beauty on someone like me, so let's get to the party," he said extending his elbow for her to take.

Son' ushered Skrida and Hiti inside, who had just arrived themselves and stopped in his tracks.

Feeling a bit bad for listening in on a conversation he didn't think Son' wanted them to listen to, he looked over at Unna. "Let's go inside, shall we?" He gestured toward the house, the music and laughter pouring out, making him smile. He took her inside and let her look around for a moment before taking a few more steps in.

Why was she so upset? He looked over to Danae and saw her talking to Seni. No, it was more than that, much more. It clicked and he suddenly felt like to total bastard. He knew her loneliness could be fierce at times, and painful, especially at times like this. "Seni asked her to be his mate didn't he?" he said. It was more of a statement not a question. that meant Danae wouldn't be as close to Ts'itu or have as much time with her for a while.<br><br>He squeezed her hand as he looked back at her. "I'm here Ts'itu. Always. It will be alright." he paused a moment torn between her rank and his and there friendship and he decided the hell with rank and he threw his arms around her and gave her a strong hug to show her she wasn't alone, not when he was around. he held her for a moment and then let her go. He knew how far he could push things and he didn't want to publicly shame her or embarrass her in any way. She was his Alpha too but he knew that cross was a heavy load to bear at times.<br><br>At her comment that he should join Nesii his heart wanted to do just that. the way he felt around nesii made made him feel a lightness in his heart, her taunting jabs putting nothing but a smile on his face. he gave her a look that asked if she was going to be ok now if he went to dance with Nesii. he looked over at nesii, the object of a chase that had gone on for quite some time. God he couldn't get enough of her! yet, he couldn't do something like Seni just did. He couldn't tell her how he really felt. he couldn't even tell himself and yet he loved her, was drawn to her like a moth to flame, uncaring to it's heat.<br><br>"Alright. If your sure your ok." he knew she was far from ok but what he meant was I'm here if you need me. he gave her a nudge. "You'll be an aunt soon." and with that went off to try to entice his nesii once again.<br><br>The way she had given him that taunting smirk, always got him going and the way she tested him, pushing him to impress her was a challenge he was always up for. The way she snapped her teeth at him told him she was interested even if she pretended not to be he knew she was and he would catch her one day and pin her down and bite that gorgeous, sensual neck of hers and know that she was his alone.<br><br>He came up behind her this time hands tracing down her raised arms, down her sides only to grab her hips in his hands as his own hips moved with her, pressing against her from behind. He growled in low, passionate tones and tried to show her he wasn't afraid of her challenges, that he wanted her to test him and he would show her what he was made of.

He said with a soft laugh and looked back at Danae, feeling his eyes go back to hers as he leaned and gave her a longer kiss. "I like that you are able to kiss me yourself, I like the taste of your lips." He said as he put his forehead to hers lightly and looked in her eyes.

She took another glance a Skrida and noticed him looking in a certain direction. Her bright orbs instantly followed his line of sight, past a few bodies, to spot the Alpha, who she also recognized. She felt herself frowning a little as she began to walk, the Alpha didn't look like she was enjoying herself in the slightest; had she been crying..? No, No, she was just being silly. The redhead shook her head lightly, clearing her throat before casting her green eyes to her right, only to return to Skrida moments later while trying not to lag too much behind.<br><br>Her hands gripped the fur around herself, even though it was getting hotter by the second. Hiti felt herself glancing back over her shoulder, staring at the door almost longingly, until she caught sight of Unna and the other male Sacrifice who was with Skrida when she had meet him.

She felt herself smiling a little at the pair until she brushed shoulders with someone and snapped her head back to apologize. Her eyes found the Alpha once again and she watched as the wolf adjusted her stance, her arms crossing.<br><br>Once in front of the female, Hiti remained silent. She stood a little behind Skrida, as if she were tucking herself behind him, but she was clearly in view. The redhead watched her intently for a second, only to glance away so she would be caught staring for longer than necessary. Hiti quickly decided she'd just let Skrida do whatever he had to and then go sit in a corner somewhere and observe.

As he spoke she couldn't help but stare at him, at his long hair and youthful face, someone so different from the men, the wolves, she was used to seeing on a daily basis. With the hood of his cloak slipped down Tsaghani's features were easily distinguishable, his eyes almost golden in the dim light.<br><br>When he paused and licked his lips, Son' Lahleli found herself taking a step closer, her hand coming up unbidden to rest just lightly on his covered forearm. Something about his story, about his tragedy, spoke to her and for the first time in her life she felt the stirrings of wanting to take care of someone other than Nilteni. "The last 5 years I have traveled in search of a fabled pack of both power and prestige." Her mouth slipped into an 'O' of surprise and she listened with ever growing attention as he finished.<br><br>"You've been looking for the Nadaecki pack." Even as secluded as the pack was, they'd heard plenty of what others said about them. Son' Lahleli looked down and when she realized her hand was not only still on his arm, but now clenching at the material of his cloak, she snatched it back and flushed a deep red. Taking a moment to compose herself, she glanced back and saw Mikla and the other sacrifice walk in but Ts'itu had yet to come out. She turned back to Tsaghani and remembered his soft smile from when he'd started talking, the way he'd been so careful to let her know he meant no ill will, her shoulders straightening out just a bit as she made her decision.<br><br>"Tsaghani, you have found the Nadaecki pack. I hope that we are all you have been searching for." The way he stared at her, stared <em>into</em> her eyes sent a soft shiver of heat down her spine, her heart racing just slightly. It made her want to talk to him, open herself up to him in a way. Son' Lahleli had an idea of what was going on, but it seemed impossible that it would happen to her. At her age, she'd never expected…<br><br>Those thoughts were pushed from her mind with sheer force of will and she set her jaw. "I ask that you be as truthful with my alpha as you have with me, she will treat you well and not give you trouble unless you give her undue cause." And then, like before, words came out without permission. "If she welcomes you, I invite you to a meal at my home in a few days time."<br><br><br><hr><hr><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7f/Reia-NilteniTudi_Posting01.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Nilteni Tudi<br><strong>Who:</strong> Skrida, Hiti, Kon<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of the Hunger Moon<br><hr><br>At Kon's words, Nilteni let out a snort, head shaking as the other man talked. Astir's teasing words only seemed to rile up the young wolf even more, fists clenching and face set in a fierce expression. Nilteni looked away side, it seemed that Astir really had it out for Kon, and it was best if he avoided potentially getting caught up in something. A few moments later the door opened, Skrida walking in, and Nilteni perked up, trying to catch the other man's attention. Then he saw the girl at his side and the gentle way he guided her with a hand on her back.<br><br>For some reason that sent a hot wave of anger, jealousy, pure and raw, crashing through him and he growled low in his throat. "I have someone to see to, Nilteni. Excuse me." A wave in Kon's direction, the words barely registering, Nilteni started to make his way over to Skrida. Others moved out of his way, knowing that when his expression was set in a blank mask, he was most likely angry, an emotion he barely showed. When he reached them he gave the red head a tight smile and then stepped in close to Skrida, stepped in between them, liberally employing his height to crowd the other man in, pressing him up slightly against the wall by the door.<br><br>"Skrida," his voice was low, a throaty rumble scratching through it. Nilteni placed one hand on Skrida's hip, head dipping down so he could nose lightly at the man's jaw, teeth nipping at the still chilly skin. "Had I known you were coming so late I would have waited at your forge for you." His other hand slipped up the shorter man's arm, over his shoulder, and moved to the nape of his neck, squeezing in a strong possessive hold. "Truth be told, I'd much rather we had stayed at the forge and not come at all."<br><br>He pushed Skrida completely against the wall and pressed in against him, bodies sliding together perfectly, his instincts to claim, claim, <em>claim</em>, fogging up all reasoning. "Say you're mine, Skrida. Say it, <em>please</em>."<br>

He turned his head slightly and licked his lips as he caught sight of Nilteni striding through the parting crowd. The Tikaan's face was utterly neutral, a sign that he was quite angry, and given the way he was headed directly for Skrida he could only assume that said anger was directed at him.<br><br>"Hello, Nilteni," he said brightly as the other reached them. Tight smiles aside it was impossible to miss how tense Nilteni's form was. A callused hand reached forward as if to touch his friend, but he forced it back down so that he might not offend. "How are y—" Words failed him as Nilteni crowded into his space, deliberately placing his solidly muscled form between Skrida and Hiti. "Ah..." And still Nilteni crowded him further, seeming to loom above Skrida with a purpose that few ever did.<br><br>The room had already been hot. Now it was positively scalding. Skrida's skin seemed to be on fire, his bones melting into liquid as Nilteni's callused hand rested upon his hip. His skirt rucked up with the movement, the tender touch of skin upon skin enough to make Skrida flush a dark red. It was a blush that only deepened as Nilteni nose at his jaw. "A-ah," he murmured, hips bucking slightly at a nip. "Nn, what are you...?"<br><br>Nilteni's words set a fire in him that even the room couldn't compete with. "W-well you know me, can't resist escorting a lovely woman even if it means being late." He was going to choke on the words, he thought, but they came out fairly steadily if lacking the proper carefree tone they should have had. A slight whimper left him as his neck was gripped. Now quite thoroughly pinned, he had no choice but to stare up at Nilteni with wide eyes as the other spoke. "Oh, well, you should have said something earlier." Damnable, when did he start sounding so breathless? Probably around the same time the room started to heat so.<br><br>A solid wooden wall both grounded and pinned him, his shoulder blades pressing hard against the support. His breath came out in a shaky gust as he caught Nilteni's hazel eyes. The other's body was warm and perfect against his own. Skrida found that his hands had reached out to grab the other's hips, to pull closer instead of push away. He'd been staring after the warrior for years, had a burn scar on his thumb from slamming hot metal into it when he was distracted by Nilteni's weapons practice, had spent more time teasing and laughing with him than he really cared to think about. Small wonder that he was staring stupidly up at the other, lips parted with surprise. "I thought I was already yours," he said, blinking a few times.

She was intoxicating, irresistible as he touched her lithe body and supple, smooth, skin. A secret pleasure road through him as she let him touch her, knowing full well she could land him on the floor in a second if she wanted to. That trembling shiver that crawled down her spine at his touch was nearly as exciting as the way she let herself be drawn back against him. Naked flesh against naked flesh, his breathing and hers matched in the excited passionate dance, moving to the rhythms of the dance.<br><br>He griped her more firmly as he growled and felt the sudden shift and the pain of her bite on his neck that caused him more pleasure than pain perhaps made him gasp lightly. a smirk crossed his face as she expressed her concern about being another notch in his bed post. How could she know that she wouldn't be a notch but a name carved into his heart and soul forever? How could she know he was afraid to love someone that fiercely? The plunge was a steep drop and he couldn't see where it might lead. He couldn't know if he would join her in blissful flight or be dashed against the cold, hard, rocks below. <br><br>"That's not what I think..." he couldn't finish it. he couldn't say not with you, never with you. It was always you. I love you...Nesii. But he couldn't admit that even to himself, wouldn't let himself admit it, wouldn't let himself say I love you.<br><br>She spun to face him, arms languidly around his neck, her nearly naked body against his. The way she moved against him turned his blood to liquid fire, made his heart beat hard and strong, his breath come up short. She could feel his excitement as she moved against him and he didn't try to hide it. His dark eyes were deep pools of liquid obsidian, normally so hard to read, so hard to penetrate were clearly reflecting what he felt for her. An ancient carnal desire had been teased to life in him by her into a roaring flame but that was not all, there was love in his eyes, love that made him blind to all others.<br><br>"When have you ever known me to be a slacker?" he teased right back knowing the countless times she had him doing some sort of scut work for something or other that he had done. He took her up on her dare and he took her firmly in his arms so she actually couldn't get away even if she wanted to. he let her feel his strength against her as he bit into her own neck, hard enough to hurt just a little as he tasted her skin and drank in the scent of her. He then grabbed her left leg and hitched it up onto his hip and then took her down into a deep bow so she lay supported by nothing but his own strength in his arms, helpless.<br><br>"What makes you think I'll let you go?" He said and with that he did the boldest thing he had ever done and kissed her deeply, passionately and with a fierce, ardent desire to make her his. It was not the clumsy kiss of a shy boy, fumbling and unsure. No, this kiss was the kiss of a man beyond his years a brazenly bold and sensual man but a man of depth and private, contemplating nature.

She was a little surprised that he would talk so openly about his feelings for her to someone else, and it made her blush, though she felt a certain amount of pride as well. That he was already talking about her to others made her feel special, important. As he went on, she let her eyes go to Kon and Ts'itu, where Kon had gone back over to her as soon as Danae left her. The look on Ts'itu's face made her worry though, and she knew that her friend was putting on a brave face. "Kon may want her, but I fear she is too guarded to let anyone in so fully. I worry about her Seni." <br><br>Looking back at Seni, her own features had a look of worry about them, but now was not the time to discuss Ts'itu. Perhaps she could talk to him about it later when there were less ears around. She really had always enjoyed talking to Seni, he was a good listener and sometimes just knowing he was there was enough to give her comfort. Now though, it seemed different. They could talk still, but she could also kiss him and let him hold her. The thought of being able to be close to him all the time made her heart flutter. She hadn't realized that she wanted to feel claimed, until now. To be taken fully by someone who loved you, was something she couldn't wait to experience. "I like the taste of yours as well. I never expected you to taste so… good." She smiled again and leaned her head toward him, nuzzling his neck a little, giving him a light kiss as she took in his scent. Already, she felt as though it was imprinted on her, and she was sure she could find him anywhere at any time. Pulling away again to look at him, she smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist, careful of the bandage she had put there earlier. "So how long before the whole pack knows that we are to be mated?," she asked with a small laugh. <br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Mikla.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Mikla<br><strong>Who:</strong> Unna, Hiti, Skrida, Nilteni // Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong>&nbsp; Evening<br><hr><br>Mikla gasped at Unna, the look of shock on his face was dramatic, but hopefully it would get a laugh out of her. "Never been to a party? Oh, well, I suppose that means I must make sure you have the best time possible!," he said with a grin. And he would make sure she had a good time, there was no doubt about it. He couldn't believe she hadn't ever been to a party, but it certainly wasn't out of the realm of possibility. The humans weren't faring as well as the pack was, and with all the hunger, a feast must seem like something reserved only for kings. Yes, it was up to him, and he would do everything in his power to make sure she had the best time possible. <br><br>As they walked inside, he placed a hand on the small of her back and they walked toward Skrida and Hiti. He was sure the girls might like to be around one another, seeing as they knew each other. He gave a smile when they came up to the group, nodding at each person. Hiti seemed a bit scared at Ts'itu's presence, but Mikla just bowed his head slightly at the Alpha, who seemed to be on a mission. "Hello everyone. Have we missed anything good?," he said looking over at Skrida. Just then, Nilteni came over, and before Mikla could greet the man, he made a bee-line for Skrida and forcefully pushed himself against him. Mikla looked at Hiti and Unna, clearing his throat a little. "Seems like passions are high tonight," he said to them, a laugh escaping his lips. <br><br><br>Taking a look around the room, he noted that it wasn't just the two men next to him. Danae and Seni were talking and holding one another, and Astir and 'Nesii were dancing very suggestively. It was usually quite physical at these parties, but it seemed to stand out even more when looking in from the outside. He figured the girls might be a bit uncomfortable, being new to everything, so he decided that he would have to distract them. "Would you ladies like a drink? Wine perhaps?," he asked looking over at a table that had a spread of drinks and food. He wasn't sure if the girls would even like to drink, or if they felt well enough to eat, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

"If anyone is stubborn enough to get to her, it is him, you shouldn't worry so much about that, he hasn't given up and I doubt he would ever, unless she gave him reason too." He said to her, keeping her close to him, his lips near the top of her head now that they were not kissing at the moment. He thought for a moment about her comment on his taste and then looked at her, a grin on his face. <br><br>"Well, at least I don't taste like dirt." He said and let another grin, his ruggedness still in full view but not holding him like it normally did. "I can scream it out if you would like, we can just take care of it all in one go, lay claim to each other right here and now?" He said to her, ending it as a question, asking if she was up for what he was suggesting, he didn't want her to feel pressured into it and he hoped that she would want to, he did want to annouce to all of them. He wanted everyone to know that she was his and that he was hers, he thought that it had a wonderful sound to it, now to just get her agreement.

Hiti glanced at him, blinking at his sudden halt, then her eyes follwed his and she caught sight of a male striding towards them through the crowd, who parted like the Red Sea. Her own eyes widened a little and she cleared her throat as he reached them. Before the redhead even had time to react, everything had happened; the wolf had parted the two of them and was speaking to Skirda, pushing him into the nearby wall. She was ashamed to admit, she stared for quite some time, her jaw slightly dropped leaving her lips parted at the sight. "U-Um.." She wanted to speak up, to explain why they were together. Hiti bit down on her bottom lip, her hands grasping the fur tight around herself, despite the warmth of the hut and the more reason flush of her features. "E-Excuse.." Her voice was quiet as the two continued as if she weren't there.<br><br>Hiti took a couple of small steps around the larger wolf, stepping a little to the side so she could see him a little better. "E-Excuse me!" The redhead raised her voice, blurting out her words in a rush of emotion, before beginning to babble on a bit. "I-I asked Skrida here with me. Because....Well....It's my first day an'all...Or night...And I was curious about the celebrations so...I mean, I wasn't planning on staying long so...And then...Well, I asked him and....I just could come on my own...S-See? So..It's my fault that he's here with me, you don't need to...Uh...make assumptions? Or come to any conclusions...Or anything.." Her voice trailed off as she managed to slow herself, feeling a little ridiculous now. Her usually pale features had flushed a bright red; the tention, the scene unfolding before her eyes, the heat all caused the sudden wave of crimson. All of a sudden, Hiti gave a deep bow, again, blurting out her words with a slight stutter. "I-I'm very sorry! Skrida, I'll go tell the Alpha what you needed to! Please stay here!" Without even raising her head from her lowered stance, the redhead span and dashed off, albeit slowly, into the crowd.<br><br>Hiti scolded herself almost immediately; she really had to approach the Alpha alone?! She really hadn't thought things through and she felt herself whine under her breath before giving out a heavy sigh with a tilt back of her head. Hoping to inhale some sort of bravery along the way, Hiti slowly began over towards the Alpha, her bright eyes staring in the other redheads direction. Once she had reached her, Hiti had no idea what to say or do, so she gave another deep bow, her bright eyes looking at the floor. "Miss...Alpha? Skrida was asked to send you outside by a female wolf, I am unsure of her name. He is currently...indisposed...so I've come to give you the news." Hiti raised from her bow and let out a small sigh; she knew it was supposed to be discrete, so she kept her voice low as she spoke, hoping to seem like she was simply introducing herself to the woman. She was even proud of how certain her words seemed, though to other ears they probably didn't seem all that sure.

Instead of relief at seeing the stranger act accordingly, Son' Lahleli felt bereft, as if she'd lost something before even getting a true glimpse of it. She should have known better than to even contemplate hoping for something more and as he spoke in overly harsh tones, she turned her head away, shamed for reasons unknown to her.<br><br>"I never said I didn't trust you!" Her voice rang out slightly, louder than it had been and she blinked in shock at her own reaction. Turning a fierce glare at him she stepped closer, closing the space between them that he had opened up, and pressed a finger against his chest. "I don't know enough about you to make that kind of judgement and so I ask that you not make any against me."<br><br>"Thank you Son' Lahleli you honor me where I deserve none, I shall accept your kind offer of a meal at your home should I indeed be accepted among your pack." The formal bow, the almost dismissive tone only managed to anger her even more.<br><br>Son' Lahleli turned from him, hot tears threatening to fall as she tried to regain her composure. Never before had anyone riled her up in such a way, not even Nilteni at a young age, not even her parents. It was confusing, what she was feeling, and she wanted nothing more than to crawl into her bed and hide under the soft sleeping pelts so she could think her way through this. "If you do not wish to come to my house, do not feel obligated to do so. It will have no bearing on your being accepted into the pack or not."<br><br>Her hands were cold, but Son' Lahleli didn't notice as she tried to brush her tears away. Her breath hitched in her throat and she closed her eyes, trying to find that inner peace which had helped her so much in the past. So many years of keeping it together and this one man, this strange wolf, had managed to tear through so many of her defenses without seemingly trying.<br><br>She turned her head back toward him slightly, voice once again soft though with an audible shake to it. "My alpha will be out shortly, if you would like me to leave so you can wait for her alone just say so and I shall." If he did ask, she'd step away and keep an eye on him from afar, confused and with a slightly bruised ego or not, she wouldn't put her pack in danger.<br><br><br><hr><hr><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7f/Reia-NilteniTudi_Posting01.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Nilteni Tudi<br><strong>Who:</strong> Skrida, Hiti<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of the Hunger Moon<br><hr><br>"W-well you know me, can't resist escorting a lovely woman even if it means being late." The words sent another surge of jealous rage through Nilteni and he growled, lips curling in response. At the same moment the damned girl was trying to squeeze closer and her voice, her strange unwanted scent, stoked at his anger even more.<br><br>He turned to her, eyes flashing gold, teeth sharp in his mouth, and snapped at her. When he spoke, it was with barely suppressed rage, her words not even registering in his mind. "Leave us!" Once she was gone Nilteni turned back to Skrida and slid the hand he had squeezed around the man's neck up into his hair, fingers clenching and forcing his head to tilt back and to the side.<br><br>"I thought I was already yours."<br><br>A low, deep chuckle escaped and Nilteni scraped his sharp teeth against the tender skin of Skrida's throat. "Were you really mine I would have fucked you senseless ages ago, Skrida." His other hand skimmed down the man's backside, to his leg, and squeezed tight at the strong thigh; with a sharp tug and use of his superior strength, Nilteni maneuvered Skrida into a better position. "Wrap your legs around my waist." Lengthening claws emphasized the order and then he pressed in closer, groaning at the sensation of finally having what he'd wanted for so long, holding Skrida up against the wall easily.<br><br>"I'm going to mark you, claim you as mine, <em>mate</em> you." The last word was lost as he finally pressed his mouth to Skrida's, the kiss deep and possessive, a harsh demand that grew with every passing second. Nilteni wanted it to be obvious that Skrida was taken and his hand moved from Skrida's thigh to his ass, squeezing the soft flesh and pulling the other man even closer, tighter.<br><br>Finally he had to pull back with a gasp, his body demanding air, and he let his lips curl into a dark, satisfied smile at seeing how bruised Skrida's lips looked, how debauched the other man seemed. Nilteni licked at his own lips and bent closer once again, human teeth biting at that tantalizing bit of throat. He worked on the mark, sucking and biting, enjoying the sounds Skrida was making and silently promising that he would do this as often as possible. Once satisfied he leaned back a bit and pressed at the mark with a finger.<br><br>"Soon that will be the more permanent mark of a mate." He met Skrida's gaze and smiled wider, eyes completely golden, "then you'll truly be mine."

Rising up on her toes, letting the heat of her flesh drag against his own, she nipped sharply at his lower lip, teeth dragging eagerly on that soft flesh, tugging it none too gently before demanding, "Then what do you think Astir? Hmmmmm, what is going on inside that mind of yours?"<br><br>Before she got her answer his arms had tightened and she found herself caught against his chest, the strength of his arms pinning her to him so firmly that there was no pulling away. Being well and truly caught drew a growl from her throat and tightened her fingers on the back of his neck, digging her nails sharply into his flesh as he drew her leg up and bent her back. The sound matched his own growl until his lips came down to lay claim to her own in a kiss that set her lips, her entire body, ablaze!<br><br>By the end of that kiss she was clinging to him, the leg around his waist tight even as her other leg wanted to wobble and stop supporting her. Around his neck her arms had tightened and her nipple had become hard points digging into his chest. Against his mouth small mewlings passed her lips to be fed to his, just loud enough for only him to hear while small shivers ran, repeatedly, down her spine, and her hips ground enticingly against him, her body making demands her brain had been denying for as long as she could remember.

He thought he might try to tell her that she shouldn't bother trying to explain the situation, but finding the words was hard when all of him was focused on the feeling of Nilteni pressed against his body. Or the way that Nilteni's growl has set his body to feeling even hotter, his mouth going dry as he resisted the urge to grind into the warrior.<br><br>Before he could think of how to respond, Hiti had already offered to go face the alpha on her own and Nilteni was snarling out commands. <em>I'm going to have to give her some sort of...</em> Or not.<br><br>Gold eyes, wolf eyes, refocused on his own grey ones with unconcealed ferocity. As if to emphasize just how displeased he was, Nilteni's fingers tangled into Skrida's hair and used it as anchorage to wrench his head back and to the side. It should have been violence and pain, but instead Skrida found himself moaning, arousal pulsing in his veins. He'd never seen this side of his friend before but it was, well, enlightening.<br><br>Teeth scraped against his throat, sharpened by the presence of the wolf so close to the surface. In the villages there were rumors that a Tikaani could change humans into their kind with a single bite. Three years living in close quarters with them had cured him of believing that kind of nonsense, but that didn't mean that Nilteni couldn't rip out his throat just the same. He wouldn't though, Skrida knew that deep in his marrow.<br><br>"Were you really mine I would have fucked you senseless ages ago, Skrida." Skrida's hips hitched forward, his hands upon the other tightening. Clothing had turned too rough and his skin felt too tight. All he could think of was Nilteni's hand, seeming to burn through the fabric of his pants as he gripped Skrida's ass and used it to hoist the smaller male up against the wall. They were only a couple of inches apart in height but Nilteni had always made him feel small. He obeyed, wrapping his legs and moaning as the movement ground his growing arousal against Nilteni's hips.<br><br>"Heh, what makes you think I would let you?" Skrida said, smirking as he wrapped his arms around Nilteni's neck. "Fuck me senseless, I mean." Claws pressed into his skin. Though he'd been pinned up against the wall, Nilteni showed no signs of strain. "And for that matter what—" His words were cut off with a kiss that stole the breath from his body. Forge callused hands ran up into Nilteni's hair, gripping at the dark strands tightly as he moaned wantonly into the kiss.<br><br>By the time Nilteni had pulled back, Skrida's world was dizzy. "I haven't done this in too long," he muttered. His lips felt swollen and reddened from the passionate kissing. He figured that Nilteni would let him down now, maybe drag him off to some dark corner or even back to the forge. Instead the wolf went back for his still vulnerable throat, now human teeth biting at sensitive skin and marking up his neck. Skrida continued to moan, hips grinding forward helplessly. "Please, fuck, <em>please.</em>"<br><br>He couldn't have opened his eyes for the world, simply letting out a needing whimper as Nilteni pushed against his bruised flesh with one finger. At least, he didn't think so until Nilteni's rough voice rumbled, "Soon that will be the more permanent mark of a mate." Then his eyes flew open, mouth opening to let forth some unthought of comment. But the look of those still golden eyes stopped the words as well as, "Then you'll truly be mine."<br><br>"<em>Please,</em>" Skrida whimpered, fingers tightening in Nilteni's hair.

His hands moved down Skrida's back and slipped under his rucked up shirt, slightly sharpened nails leaving red marks on soft skin. Tongue pushing in, claiming, marking, Nilteni ground hard against his now soon to be mate, a pleased rumble sounding deep in his chest.<br><br>He hadn't been aware of how badly he wanted, no, <em>needed</em>, the other man until he'd seen him walking in with the red head. When Skrida had arrived three years ago, Nilteni had watch him from afar, an immediate attraction forming. They'd become friends and he'd been happy, had settled for just that. But earlier today Skrida's actions had spoken to him and then his conversation with Son' Lahleli had helped him to make a decision. Nilteni had planned on waiting for a few more days, but, well...<br><br>Pulling back he rested his forehead against Skrida's, air rushing in an out of his lungs as he tried to catch his breath. His hands gentled and with a sudden bout of tenderness, wrapped Skrida up in a hug, settling comfortably against him and burying his face against the man's neck. It all seemed too much all at once and yet not anywhere near enough.<br><br>"Do you mean that?" The words were whispered against Skrida's skin, Nilteni's lips brushing softly against his neck. He pulled away slightly and nosed at the other man's jaw, soft kisses placed against heated skin. "Skrida, did you mean that?"<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5a/Skrida.png)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Skrida<br><strong>Who:</strong> Nilteni<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When:</strong> Night<br><br><hr><br>It was utterly useless to try to talk as Nilteni went about mauling him in the most pleasurable way possible. Between teeth and claws and skin upon skin, it was a wonder that Skrida could think words at all. True they were blurred by an impression of heat and need, but they were fully functional words. A mutter "we should" meant to be finished with 'go outside' was lost in the heat of Nilteni's mouth. The laugh as he felt Nilteni begin to let out a rumbling growl that was closer to a purr than anything else was similarly swallowed up. And soon Skrida had forgotten that his mouth might be used for anything other than kissing.<br><br>His fingers tightened in Nilteni's hair once more, crushing the man closer even as his other hand dropped to warm shoulders. Though logic demanded he at least try to keep Nilteni from fucking him against a wall in plain sight of the entire pack, a more more prominent part of him settled for digging strong, forge callused fingers into the muscles of the wolf's back and arching his own back up in blatant offering. Welts were raked down his own back and he knew that his lips were bruising. They would be puffy and sore and clearly debauched for days. He didn't much care. He'd wanted Nilteni with a marrow deep ache for at least two years, a few marks to show for that would be welcomed.<br><br>Sanity returned slowly, in bits and pieces. First was the feeling of his wolf pressed close, forehead resting against his own, shared breaths mingling as they gasped for hair. Second was the realization that he was desperately clinging to the other as if he'd been drowning and been thrown a lifeline, the easing as his fingers unclenched and he began to pet instead of grip. Third was his breathing slowing though his heart remained racing. Fourth was realizing that he had no idea where Hiti had gotten off to and that Son' Lahleli was going to kill him before he ever even got to have her as a sister in law.<br><br>But it was damnably hard to focus on any of that as Nilteni pressed himself even closer, wrapping Skrida up in his arms as if he could shut out everything. The feeling of the man's breathing upon his sensitive, bruised neck was enough to send trembling shivers down his spine, but even arousal couldn't dim or corrupt the contented smile on his face. Letting out a low, comforting hum, he wrapped his arms about Nilteni's shoulders and began to card his fingers through dark hair in a soothing motion. He felt slightly giddy with the realization that he could do as much.<br><br>"Do you mean that?" When he'd shaken off the feeling of lips upon his neck, Skrida still found himself blinking and looking utterly perplexed. The expression only deepened as his would-be mate nosed at him insistently and placed kisses on his jaw once more, this time with infinitely more tenderness. True Nilteni had never pulled the same kind of adoring throngs that, say, Astir or Mikla did, but he was still well regarded. Certainly Skrida had put up with sacrifices giggling after him when he'd been in the forge with Skrida for any length of time. "Skrida, did you mean that?"<br><br>Skrida snorted and pushed at the man's shoulders lightly. Once he was sure he had Nilteni's full attention, he cocked one eyebrow and said in an arch tone, "This is going to be a very difficult mateship, luv, if you question everything I say." Despite his teasing, despite his expression, despite even how he'd kept his tone utterly even throughout this pronouncement, it would have been impossible to hide the way that delight corded every inch of him. A smile kept peeking out, and his arms tightened reflexively as if to pull his wolf closer once more.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5b/Tsitu%2C_Nadaeki_Alpha.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Ts'itu e'e Son<br><strong>Who:</strong> Astir, Kon, Hiti, Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Night, Sixth Day of Hunger Moon<br><br><hr><br>It was clear to see the moment that understanding went flooding across Astir's features. "He did," she said, tugging on a lock of her hair as she glanced over at the clearly happy couple. "I'm happy for Danae. Seni will be a strong mate for her." Still the loneliness gnawed at her, an ache she couldn't quite shake even as Astir pledged his friendship. She smiled, unwilling to voice that she never doubted his loyalty or his dedication, just like she would never doubt Danae's. That did not make it easier as she watched him flit toward a life made up of an actual family. For so long, she and her peers had been untethered and that it was coming to an end, and she would be the one left behind...<br><br>Astir's arms surrounding her were a surprise, for normally he was more reserved in public spaces. Similar to Danae he was quite aware of her positioning within the pack. It was a welcome touch anyway. She wrapped her arms around him tightly but briefly, releasing him when he began to pull away. Celebration or no it would seem odd for Astir to be doing anything that might be construed as comforting to her. <em>Practically having sex on the dance floor is alright, but hugging my best friend is off limits,</em> she thought, a wry smile touching her lips before it was chased away by careful neutrality.<br><br>"I'll be fine, Astir," she said, elbowing him in the side none too gently. "You know I always am. And do you mean aunt of Danae's pups, or yours?" She laughed at his retreating back, thinking she might have seen some small flinch to his shoulders as he departed. For all that Astir would make a fantastic father, he was always twitching at the mention of them. So of course, how could she resist provoking him at every given opportunity?<br><br>Sighing as she noticed she was left alone again once more, she centered herself with a hand upon her forehead. Skrida and the redhead, Mother Winter but she really needed to learn that girl's name, were still heading toward her, though they seemed to have been waylaid by Nilteni. She snorted a bit to see her beta crowding the blacksmith toward the wall, clearly intent on herding Skrida away from the girl he'd escorted in. "Not that I blame him," she muttered. She too had seen the hand that Skrida had placed upon Hiti's back, and though she couldn't pin a reason for it, the sight made her inner wolf's hackles rise.<br><br>A hand taking her own brought her back to her present surroundings. Blinking slightly, she looked over her shoulder at Kon. Somehow she'd missed the beta's approach. Now that she'd noticed him, his scent seemed to wrap around her. Ts'itu tilted her head, a tad bewildered as Kon leant in close to her and began speaking. Normally he was not so forward, and she hadn't imagined that he would have come back to her given that there were plenty of other willing and available females looking for a strong warrior. His rumbling voice was filled with warmth and soothed nerves she hadn't even noticed were fraying. That was more troublesome than the fact he'd bothered to come chasing after her.<br><br>"I think you may be right on that account," she said after a moment's pause, deciding to disregard the oddities of the evening. If she kept thinking about it she would likely go mad. "You'll be pleased to know that your friend will soon be mated to Danae. I expect they'll be announcing it tonight. I should..." She should go do what she'd originally meant to do: warn the musicians, arrange for more mead, threaten Seni with all sorts of horrible tortures. All of which would require pulling away from Kon's warmth, a thing she found herself strangely reluctant to do. "I..." And if she weren't doing those things, she should be attending to Skrida, who'd likely been sent to tell her something if the expression on his face before he was ambushed was anything to go on.<br><br>Kon's sage green eyes were glimmering in the firelight. She could still taste his skin. Her tongue darted out to run over her lips in an unconscious bid for more. "Why did you come here, Kon?" she asked finally, gently pulling her hand from his grip. "You know as well as I that there are plenty of females here who would love to be taken by the hero of the hour. Why are you not with them? I have lost my desire for the simple hunt this evening. If it's a roll in the furs you seek, try your luck elsewhere." Perhaps her words revealed too much, but there was no vulnerability in the regal tilt to her chin.<br><br>And thankfully, she had little time to think on whether she'd just proved to be a foolish chit instead of a blooded alpha. The redhead from earlier had finally come close enough to be considered within speaking range. She'd dropped into a deep bow the moment she came, but it took a certain kind of bravery to even make it that far. Ts'itu's curiosity was piqued, but was swiftly trodden down by the news that there was yet more that had apparently gone wrong as opposed to the girl actually wishing to speak with her. As the girl rose from her bow, sighing along the way, Ts'itu took a step forward.<br><br>"Thank you..." she trailed off, clearly waiting for a name. Upon receiving her answer, a brief smile flashed across her lips. Amusement flickered in her eyes. Though no one would be able to tell simply from looking at her, she longed to reach out and touch the smaller girl, run her fingers through that red hair so similar to her own. Strange that she should feel such a draw to the warrior who'd rarely shown interest before tonight and the sacrifice who still seemed to alternate between fear and curiosity. "Hiti, you will stay here, with Kon. I shall attend to this, but when I return, I would speak with you."

He said to Ts'itu and moved around Hiti for a moment as he caught the Alpha's hand once more, in a light and gentle grasp as he leaned close. "If all I desired was a roll in your furs or mine, I would have quit long ago. You come back to me and I will show you the beginnings of what I want, Ts'itu. All I need is your attention." He said to her, his sage green eyes locked on her, his scent full of only his honesty in his pursuit of her. He just hoped that she would listen to him. He released her hand and looked at her again, a soft rumbling sigh in his chest as he looked to Hiti. He had had enough of interruptions but he would stay with the girl all the same, the way she shifted from curious to nearly terrified aroused a curiousity in him that he couldn't fathom.<br><br>He looked to the sacrifice and laid a hand on her shoulder, the touch was extremely gentle. He didn't want to bother her but he wanted to make it obvious that someone friendly was around. "Don't worry, she won't be gone long." He said to the redhead as he let his hand fall away from her shoulder and hang at his side. He looked around, catching Seni and Danae in his gaze. He gave a soft smile and then thought for a moment, he could feel the waves of emotion almost rolling off of his own body, the warm heat. He shook his head and looked to see if he could catch another glimpse of Ts'itu, he really had it like a fool for the woman, now he just needed her to open her eyes and see what he had to give her.

Danae blushed at Seni's words, sending a heat throughout her body. She was sure that he would have no problem taking her right here, as some mates tended to do at these parties, but she wasn't sure she was ready to be so open. The idea of him taking her though, was one that sent her body on edge. The thought of it made her wolf pant with anticipation, and she had to fight back the urge to bite his neck, marking him. No, she wanted to do this the right way, and that meant waiting until they were alone. "I'm sure Ts'itu will announce it in no time, trust me." A light laugh escaped her as she looked up at the handsome man in front of her, giving him a smile. <br><br>She looked around and spotted Ts'itu, surprised she hadn't announced it already, and when she saw the woman headed for the door, she tilted her head slightly. She decided if Ts'itu needed her she would ask, and shrugged it off, but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was up. She spotted Unna and Hiti, who were accompanied by Mikla, and she let out a gasp when her eyes landed on Skrida. Nilteni had him pinned him against the wall, and they looked like they were about to devour each other. She couldn't help but laugh a little, and looked back at Seni. "It seems that we are not the only ones who can't keep their hands off of each other," she said with a slight grin as she pressed herself tighter against him.<br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Mikla.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Mikla<br><strong>Who:</strong> Unna, Hiti, Skrida, Nilteni // Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong> Evening<br><hr><br>Mikla nodded to Unna and went to get them both a glass of wine. He managed to get a plate of assorted food items as well, some bread and cheese, and some deer meat. When he came back over, he handed the goblet to Unna and offered her some of the food. "The food here is very good, but if you don't like this I can get you something else." He smiled at her and took a sip of the wine, breaking off a piece of the bread and putting it in his mouth. He tried not to stare at Unna as he ate, but he couldn't help himself. She was even more beautiful in here, with the light of the fire dancing off her skin and the sound of the drums pulsing through his veins. Normally, he would let the beat take him, but tonight he held back. For her, he would be patient, because that is what she deserved. <br><br><br>He risked a glance back to Skrida and Nilteni, smiling a little. Mikla knew they had always had eyes for each other, but to see them going at it so fervently was certainly surprising. He shook his head a little and brought his attention back to the two girls. Hiti still seemed nervous, but he hoped that would pass with time. However, Unna seemed to be adjusting nicely, and he wondered if he had anything to do with that. He smiled at Hiti and added onto Unna's question with a comment of his own. "Your ankle seems to be looking less swollen, I'm sure it will heal quickly," he said with enthusiasm. "But if you need me to carry you, just let me know," a laugh escaped him as he took another gulp of his wine.

It wasn't until she heard the festivities really kick up that she noticed how late it had gotten. Astrid quickly got cleaned up from her day of working. There was no way she'd go to a party with soot all over her. She put her leather and cloth outfit (http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/TheValkryrieJessica/wolf/DF49983348D993C97087559D2992D_h400_w300_m2_bblack_q99_p99_cIOzcitJt.jpg) back on, without the leather chestpiece for the party.

Once ready, she set out that way, making her way through the snow to the building that had been pointed out to her earlier in the day. <br><br>Upon getting closer to the hut Astrid's eyes spotted Son' Lahleli outside with a man. Walking past Son', Astrid nodded and made her way into the Alpha hut entrance. Looking around she sighed, and tried to find somewhere to sit or stand that was out of the way. Astrid finally spotted Skirda and waved softly, but didn't make her way over. He was talking to Son' Lahleli's brother, and she in no way wanted to interupt. It was then she spotted Mikla and nodded at him. Finding a place to sit down, Astrid settled in. She would have to get up and get something to eat at some point, but right now she just wanted to enjoy things. It was time to celebrate. The party was in full swing, and Astrid wasn't about to make the most of it. As she sat there she looked around, taking in all the new faces she'd not seen yet.

Her finger nails digging into him sent a shiver of pleasure through him, spurring him into deeper passions.<br><br>As he kissed her her body seemed to relax, surrendering slightly into his and then slowly clinging to it as if she were begging for more. The small sounds she made, the way her body quivered under him, her hips grinding against his growing excitement sent him over the edge. He wasn't thinking about the consequences of what could happen as she broke the kiss and looked at him like that. Though in the back of his mind he was relieved that she didn't try to kill him for his boldness.<br><br>He held her close as she spoke, lips nearly touching hers, that fierce whisper sent a cascade of emotions through him as she broke his grip and danced away from him. His rational mind screamed at him to stop but it's warnings were ignored as the beast won out. He loved her and he would have her as his own tonight, always, forever, and nothing else mattered. The taunting laughter pulled him into the chase and he couldn't resist it. <br><br>Just as he was about to chase he saw the exchange between Ts'itu and Kon and his eyes flashed the gold of the wolf and he snarled but he caught Nesii's scent. Torn momentarily he made the choice to for once let it pass. Tonight was a night between himself and his chosen lover. He meant it as he turned away from Kon and gave chase to Nesii. Slipping through the crowded room he chased her with the grace of a practiced hunter for he was particularly practiced for this hunt. her scent was mixed with the thousands of other scents in the room but he picked hers out expertly and soon caught sight of her. He smiled and pursued her, cutting her off like he would a deer, boxing her in, showing her his hunting prowess before he finally caught her from behind, a strong hand grabbing her by the hips, pulling her back against him. his other hand groped her breast, thumb brushing against a hard nipple as his teeth found the back of her neck, biting her firmly, dominantly. They were near the back door.<br><br>Then he spoke the words that he was most afraid to say, that he never allowed himself to say even to himself, only sometimes in his deepest dreams for fear of what they might bring. With a last twist those words broke from him and he couldn't hold himself back from her any longer. "I love you Nesii. I've always loved you, will always love you, forever." he whispered against her as he kissed down her shoulder.

I would enjoy sharing your company while waiting to see your Alpha." At hearing Tsaghani's words, something in Son' Lahleli relaxed and she shut her eyes in relief. He kept talking, apologizing, his voice losing the harshness it'd held only moments before. "Please allow me to start over where things between the two of us are concerned."<br><br>Heart thumping, Son' Lahleli brought a hand up to her eyes to finish drying her tears. An odd sort of happiness filled her and she took a deep breath, trying to pull the stoicism she'd carefully carried for so long back over her features. When Tsaghani mentioned still wanting to take up her offer, calling her a '<em>very lovely woman</em>' in the process, the blush she'd carried before rushed back over her skin. When he felt silent again she realized it would be best to turn around and speak with him, to not ignore him any longer.<br><br>As she turned Astrid walked by, giving Son' Lahleli a respectful nod. She returned the new sacrifice's greeting and braced herself for facing Tsaghani once again. He was looking at her, his face showing a contriteness that she knew meant he'd truly not intended to be so short with her. Another breath and she stepped close to him again, the warmth of his body heat in the frigid night air a comfortable cocoon she never wanted to leave. "I too must apologize," Son' Lahleli met his eyes and gave him a small smile, the corners of her lips barely moving, "even while part of a pack, I have fended for myself for so long, that it's hard to be...open."<br><br>His eyes seem to draw her in and she gave in to temptation, stepping even closer to him and placing one of her cold hands over his laced ones, long fingers looking oddly elegant against his weathered hands, closing over Tsaghani's in a plaintive grip. It was strangely exhilarating to be so close to him, a mere breath of space between them. Son' Lahleli pulled her other hand from where it'd been holding her short cloak tightly against her in a defensive manner and placed it on his chest, fingers curling slightly in the tick fur of his cloak, her heart beat kicking up to levels she only felt when on a hunt.<br><br>"Getting to know each other is a good idea, Tsaghani, and I would like that as well." Behind her she could hear a door open and she knew it was most likely Ts'itu but felt completely disinclined to move away from him.<br>

'Nesii could feel him moving through the hut, smell his scent moving toward her, all but feel his eyes on her, a Hunter chasing down it's prey...and she delighted in the feeling! Not the feeling of being prey so much, but that he wanted to put in the effort to catch her, that he found her worthy of hunting...that he hadn't taken the out she'd given him. She could have made the Hunt harder for him but she wanted to be caught and so she let herself be separated from the main body of the party, let him catch her and pull her body back in against his own.<br><br>The feel of him against her back made her shudder as skin met skin. She didn't need his voice or scent to know it was him. Years of sparring and teasing made his touch as distinctive to her as if he were actually a part of her. She knew <em>him</em> and because it was him, her body simply relaxed into him, the grip at her hips making them roll gently, teasing and promising him with more than just that initial grip. The combination of his palm gripping her breast, the fingers tweaking one tight nipple while his teeth sank in at the back of he neck, however, drew a much sharper reaction. A low cry filled her throat, a sound of pleasure and eagerness and one that she didn't bother trying to hide from any of the rest of the Pack in the room. Everyone there would know she'd been caught and she didn't care in the least.<br><br>What did surprise her was the admission that came from him while his lips pressed against her shoulder. Words she'd never expected to hear from him, words she'd never thought he'd say to anyone actually. Turning in his arms she placed her hand under his chin, forcing his gaze to her own while her lips curled into a small smile, eyes blazing with the same need that the small movements of her body telegraphed to him so clearly, "It's too crowded in here...your place or mine?"

The soft movement of fingers through his hair relaxed him further and he smiled against the overly warm skin of the other man's neck. Having Skrida in his arms calmed his wolf in a way he hadn't been aware was needed. While he'd always admired the man from afar, or not so afar when he demanded attention from Skrida, Nilteni had never imagined he'd have this in any way. The easy touches, the comfortable way they fit together, the utter perfectness of being with Skrida – it was overwhelming.<br><br>Skrida's snort and the light push at Nilteni's shoulders had him pulling back, a slight frown on his face. The expression on the other man's face softened his own expression and he couldn't help but bring one hand out from under Skrida's shirt and up to his face, fingers tracing lightly at his features. "This is going to be a very difficult mateship, luv, if you question everything I say."<br><br>It was Nilteni's turn to snort and he huffed out a laugh, thumb pressing in at the corner of Skrida's mouth. "It's not that I'm questioning what you say. It's…" He trailed off and leaned in to give Skrida another thorough kiss, tongue dipping in to lay claim once more and thumb pressing in alongside. When he pulled back he shrugged, his now spit slick thumb leaving a trail on Skrida's tanned skin. Another frown and he looked away from his friend, shoulders suddenly tense. "I'm afraid."<br><br>Admitting his fear was scary enough in itself and he closed his eyes, resting his forehead against the other man's shoulder. "It's almost too much all at once, but nowhere near enough to what I truly want with you." Face hidden and voice muffled, Nilteni felt more at ease expressing his thoughts this ways. While Son' Lahleli had always been a great sister, their past hadn't allowed for her to express herself as others did, something that Nilteni had learned second hand. "The intensity of what I feel, of what I want, I fear it will drive you away. Skrida," he looked up and swallowed, expression torn, "I don't know what I would do if I lost you after having you."<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5a/Skrida.png)</div><strong>Character name:</strong> Skrida<br><strong>Who:</strong> <br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When:</strong> Night<br><br><hr><br>Trust Nilteni to pout when he couldn't use Skrida as a cuddle toy. He was well used to how Nilteni could get when he wasn't getting his way. How many times had he gotten nearly this exact same expression when he'd kept working while the warrior wanted his attention? Skrida rolled his eyes with a fond smile that only deepened as fingers began to trace at his features in an almost reverential manner. He tilted his head into the touches with a quiet sigh, eyes going half lidded with contentment.<br><br>As ever his words drew out a laugh from his wolf. Feeling the thumb pressed against the corner of his mouth, callused pad just barely brushing against his plush lower lip, Skrida turned his head slightly and deliberately nipped at the digit. Nilteni's words faded off, and the human tilted his head to the side, mouth already opening to let out another impertinent reply. Yet it seemed that Nilteni was quite fond of his new way of shutting Skrida up, pressing in with another kiss.<br><br>Try as Skrida might, he could find it in himself to be irritated about it. He kissed back eagerly, making appreciative moans at the feeling of being so thoroughly claimed. Thoughtlessly he sucked on the other's thumb, mind already spiraling to other things of his wolf's that he'd quite like to have in his mouth before the sun rose. His appreciative noises turned disgruntled as Nilteni pulled away, thumb dragging along his skin and cooling on his overheated flesh in a way that would have been erotic if he hadn't been focused on how tense the wolf seemed all a sudden.<br><br>For someone who was nearly always easy going, this new side of his friend was turning out to be full of surprises. "What's—" Skrida blinked rapidly, mouth dropping open at his friend's words. Truly he knew Tikaani felt fear just as a human might, but that Nilteni might feel fear about anything related to <em>him</em>. Yet it must have been true, because once more Nilteni curled into him, forehead resting upon Skrida's broad shoulder as he explained himself. Lower lip bitten to keep himself from speaking, Skrida resumed petting his wolf's hair as he had earlier, hoping that the motion might soothe.<br><br>"The intensity of what I feel, of what I want, I fear it will drive you away." And if Nilteni hadn't sounded so damnably serious, Skrida might have snorted. As it was he felt his cheeks flushing bright red, something that only worsened when the warrior looked up. There was so much emotion upon the other's face, as if he were torn within himself, and it was all so earnest. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you after having you."<br><br>His mind would choose now to blank, to leave him staring stupidly without a thought. Pretty as he might have been with kiss bruised lips parted in surprise and pupils blown wide to leave only a thin ring of stormy grey, with high flush on his cheekbones, it would still not be enough to reassure his wolf. Thank the spirits he'd at least managed to keep his hands moving, perhaps it would buy him time. Finally he licked his lips, gaze refocusing upon Nilteni's.<br><br>When he spoke, it was with quiet ferocity. "I'm more solid than that, Nilteni Tudi." He reached up with both to cup his wolf's jaw, thumbs brushing gently at the other's cheekbones. It was a trusting move, meant that he was held up only by the other's grip. And it meant he could keep their gazes locked. "You won't lose me. Not to fear and not to death, at least not for a very long time." His lips quirked into a slight smile. "Hell, I still have the scars to prove I can survive even rabid Tikaani. You will have me for as long as you wish and even beyond that."<br><br>Again he licked his lips. Though it was he who'd put them in the position where they could hardly break eye contact, he found himself wanting to duck his head as well. He forced down the churning in his gut and ignored the frantic pounding of his heart. "I...I'm scared too. But..." Finally he had to duck his head, focusing his eyes upon the other's bare chest. "W-what I'm trying to say is, I'm <em>yours</em>, my moon."

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d7/Hiti.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Hiti<br><strong>Who:</strong> Ts'itu, Kon, Unna, Mikla, OPEN.<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House.<br><strong>When: </strong> Night<br><br><hr><br>It took everything in her not to take a step back when the Alpha advanced forwards, but thankfully she managed to stand her ground. Her bright eyes watched the other, obviously guarded and on the defensive; she didn't even give the blond male a second glance for fear the other redhead might take another step towards her. When she was thanked, Hiti gave a small nod, ready to leave then and there. Her lips pressed into a line as the female trailed off, expecting her to give her name. The smaller redhead wasn't exactly thrilled about giving it over so freely. "Hiti.." She kept her voice quiet and even, her arms pressed to her sides. Her eyes narrowed ever so slightly, suspicious at the smile that flashed over Ts'itu's features, at the tiny hint of amusement lite in her eyes; odd, really odd. She lowered her chin a little, her shoulders lifted just inches from her bare neck, her form even smaller. <br><br>When the Alpha declared she would go and deal with the matter and for Hiti to stay there with Kon, a deep frown creased her freckled features. "B-But I-" She cut herself off, clearing her throat; she shouldn't say any more, she knew she had to stay like some small puppy waiting for its masters return. "Y-Yes." It was as if she was holding in a breath that she couldn't release, not until the female Tikaan had left anyway. She blinked a little as Kon reached out his hand to take the Ts'itu's and she quickly diverted her glance; it felt as if she saw something she shouldn't have and Hiti couldn't help but feel extremely awkward. The redhead cleared her throat once again, her green eyes scanning the wall over the far side of the room to her right.<br><br>Once the Alpha had left to attend to the business, Hiti let out a heavy sigh and seemed to slump. Even though she'd slept most of the day away, she was suddenly feeling exhausted and her ankle was aching a little from standing and moving around.&nbsp; When Kon's hand fell onto her shoulder, she flinched, snapping her head to stare at the Tikaan before taking a small step away from him, out of his reach. Hiti stared up at him, eyes slightly rounder than usual, her green orbs burning into his own, her lips slightly parted at the sudden touch. She felt very defensive in that moment, and though the touch was only light and gentle...friendly even, she stiffened uncomfortably. Hiti swallowed when he spoke and gave a small nod; she wasn't worried that the Alpha would take her sweet time, she was anxious that she'd come back at all. She wasn't sure what the redheaded Tikaan wanted with her or why she wanted to talk to her, but Hit knew she had no choice but to wait. <br><br>The next people she noticed was Unna and Mikla; they were closer than she had initially thought and she cursed herself for being so oblivious to her surroundings and the company. She did allow a small smile onto her features, but that was all. She felt to on edge to smile properly. "Hello U...Unna, Mil-Mikla." A nervous laughter suddenly over took her as she almost called the man 'milk' while trying to remember his name. The redhead quickly cleared her throat and moved the subject along to try and divert the attention away from their names. "I'm perfectly fine. My ankle doesn't feel bad at all, I'm not sure I even sprained it at all, you know." It was hurting, but she wasn't about to let on to anyone that she was in pain, no matter how small. Hiti managed to keep most of her weight on her better foot. "And thank you, Mikla, but I'm pretty sure I can walk by myself." She shook her head a little at the joke he made, her smile still in place at her lips. Hiti noticed the glass that they both had and wondered what was inside silently, she also took note of the food they were carring. "I'll have to get myself a drink in a bit, I just came to sit and watch afterall. I'm waiting for the Alpha to return." The nervousness washed over her once again and her stomach seemed to knot in anticipation. "I hope you both have a great time tonight." It was sweet how the two of them were getting along already....Hiti's smile faded a little as she realized she was a little envious.

He let his hands fall to his side and then looked around, he was going to go insane if he didn't get out of here soon, all of it had suddenly become overwhelming to him. He had waited so long for a chance and now it seemed that the night he finally had it, he had nothing all over again. He surpressed the urge to growl and looked away from the group. He had no idea what to do now, he had no where to go. He would stay here, for now. He had to anyway, he had been asked to stay with the woman before him and he would do that until she returned, then he was free to go and be miserable elsewhere it seemed. How that would help him he didn't know. He just knew that it was going to come to him and he had to find a way to stop it before it overwhelmed him as the night suddenly had. <br><br>He looked around and thought for a moment, he kept his feelings hidden, he knew someone who knew him well enough, like Seni would notice the change in him, he had to stay away from him, he had to stay away from anyone who could know how he felt. He longed to leave the house and get out of there, he wanted to be alone. He needed it, wanted it, craved it. He could feel his body shake a bit with a powerful urge to turn. He looked at Mikla and Unna for a moment. He sighed and then looked away again, shaking his head as he decided he couldn't just do as he wished. "Hurry up, Ts'itu.." He muttered and looked at the floor. He was going to go insane much sooner than he thought if he didn't get away from all of this. He wasn't even sure what had made him feel the way that he did but he felt it more powerfully than he had ever felt anything before in his life.

Whose lips had first said them to her, she could no longer recall. But it had been repeated in her general direction for all the years thereafter as she threw herself without reserve into becoming the best kind of alpha. From time before memory she'd known marrow deep that she was going to one day lead the pack. She'd considered the prices and yet she'd never thought them too much. Not until she felt the room press in on her and realized she desperately wanted out.<br><br>Her fangs lengthened within her mouth. Kon drew close to her, his scent reassuring as all the pack's was and yet it could not quell the chasm yawning open within her. Such honesty and purity of feeling, suddenly directed at her when for <em>years</em> she'd longed for such a thing from anyone. Her throat felt as if it might close off. Ts'itu pulled her hand from his, shaking her head minutely though she barely registered the movement. She wanted, desperately, to run. "I cannot come back to you," she said. She wished she could. It would be so easy to fall into him and forget, but could she lead him on, try to fill this hole within her with his genuine adoration? She wouldn't be alpha if she was. <em>To be alpha is to be lonely.</em><br><br>Air came flooding back into her lungs with such suddenness that she was dizzied. Ts'itu reached up and pressed a hand to her chest, silver bangles chiming with the movement. Her green eyes flickered toward the sacrifices, who'd finally volunteered her name. The smile that touched her lips was brief yet genuine, strange when the room still pressed too close and the beta she'd likely just crushed was standing mere inches away. As long as she focused upon the defiance and tightly laced suspicion upon the girl's face, it seemed as though things were no so bad.<br><br>Without thought Ts'itu took another step toward the girl. Brown freckles dotted pale skin, reminiscent of the sugar once brought into the village as the result of a raid upon a caravan through the mountains. Maybe they would be sweet like sugar, those flecks, certainly Hiti seemed sweet. Ts'itu wondered if there were more, how far they might go, if she could kiss them all in a single languorous evening. And then, then she realized that she shouldn't be wondering these things.<br><br>Hiti might have been brave but she was clearly still extraordinarily uncomfortable with the situation. She'd hunched into herself. Maybe she thought she would be mauled. The mere thought of seeing the girl's blood spilt made Ts'itu's throat clench once more and her claws form. If Ts'itu were kind, she'd left the poor girl go hide in some corner. Ts'itu was not so kind as that though.<br><br>Once she'd gotten Hiti's agreement, however unwilling, that they would speak again, she nodded shortly and began to walk away. Perhaps it was instinct or something deeper that made her look back over her shoulder as she headed toward the doorway. Brief though it was she saw Kon's hand reach up to clasp at Hiti's shoulder gently. A growl rose in her, startling some of those nearby. She reigned it back and forced her gaze ahead. It was no business of hers whom Kon kept company with...nor Hiti.<br><br>Her claws gouged into the wood as she pushed open one of the double doors and stalked out into the cold night. <em>To be alpha is to be lonely.</em> Cold feet below and Father Moon above, she pushed forward. A chasm would swallow her whole eventually, but until then she had a pack to protect. The scent of Son' Lahleli and an unknown wolf led her toward the dark woods. "Son' Lahleli, what's this?"

All those years of sparing together brought a familiarity that had always bordered on intimacy. He had been bold with her from the first time they met. of course she had insulted him with her teasing but instead of backing down like any other kid would have he challenged her. He had lost of course but even then he didn't seem too cowed by it. It had been the first of many matches they fought with each other and the start of a beautiful, if somewhat professional relationship into the art of combat.<br><br>To have her now in his arms so willing, so needing, teases becoming promises made him rumble a low growl, tenderly but possessively in pleasure. Let the pack hear. Let them see that he had finally caught her and had her the way he wanted to all these years. Some would say it was about time.<br><br>The smell of her made him want to lay his hands all over her. Sweet, heady, like honey in summer. She turned in his arms and her delicate hand forced him to look into her eyes, eyes that burned with a primal, carnal desire. What she said next was not what he would have expected as a response to such words that had slipped from him and yet they were perfect. He didn't want a fuss, especially sense those words had just slipped out somehow. It would have embarrassed him if she said anything more about it. She knew him well.<br><br>A slow smirk crossed his full lips. "Mine." he said and took the hand that was touching his chin and lead her by it, escaping the heat and noise of the party out the back, into the snow and cool darkness to glide through shadows and silver moonlight, to his abode...<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=180559.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=180559.0))

She needed to get up, to do something, to meet someone. Brushing off her clothing as she stood, Astrid made her way over to the food and drink. Looking around at the table for a few moments, she finally decided she would just have a drink and perhaps a piece of fruit. Picking up the fruit and putting it to her lips she took a bite. It tasted so good, and she was rather hungry, so that made it taste all the more better. As she wondered the room she made sure to keep her eye on the crowd of people that were interacting, they weren't who she was looking for though. She was trying to find the wise elder who'd pointed her out earlier in the day. Astrid didn't know why, but she'd wanted to speak to him since seeing him that morning.<br><br>Finally finding a spot to stand and watch the festivities Astrid stood still. She honestly didn't care who came up and talked to her, she just wanted someone to talk to. To feel more like part of the pack. As she stood there with her drink eating her piece of fruit stood tall. She didn't want to seem needy, so she made sure she carried herself with the confidence that had always carried her far in her former life. She noticed the Alpha leave the building and sighed. Astrid had come here in search of something more, and had thought she'd found it. Here though, in front of all these other people, Astrid found herself questioning that fact. She knew that being a sacrifice was to be something special, she just couldn't see it. She felt alone for the first time in her life, and it scared her.

As the moment dragged and he still didn't speak she began to fear having read him wrong and went to move away, her fingers unclenching from his fur cloak. Then he leant forward just a bit, eyes closing.<br><br>For that second Son' Lahleli's world seemed to stop, her heartbeat ratcheting up even more and a swooping sensation hallowing her out on the inside. Her fingers tightened once again in the fur and she pulled him even closer, pressing her body against his as her own eyes fluttered shut. His heartbeat filled her ears and she wondered at the sound, the knowledge that she was affecting him so filling her with pride.<br><br>She'd had lovers, many of them well versed in the act, but none of them had made her feel as Tsaghani was right then, as if she'd been made just for him. His breath ghosted over her lips and she let out a soft sigh, the growing anticipation sending a shiver down her spine. But the kiss didn't come and a moment later a familiar voice tore her out of the trance she had been in, bringing back the damned flush to her cheeks. Son' Lahleli let herself sag against Tsaghani for moment, taking what strength she could from him and then pulled away, reluctance in every fiber of her being.<br><br>Her hand slipping out of his left her empty and she wanted nothing more than to turn back into him and never let go; at the same time she felt embarrassment take over at having been found in such a compromising situation with a stranger, and by her alpha no less. She ducked her head in a true bow so that while she was taller and older than Ts'itu her deference showed the young Alpha's authority. "Ts'itu e'e Son, this is a traveler that has been in search of the Nadaecki pack for some time now." When she spoke her voice was steady and she raised her head to catch her Alpha's eyes before looking over at Tsaghani. "Tsaghani Udzaey wishes to speak with you about his travels."<br><br>After a moment she tore her gaze from Tsaghani's and turned back to her Alpha, slight shame coming over her features. Son' Lahleli had never imagined finding herself in this position and she didn't quite know how to act, her usual grace and poise gone as she fumbled for words to explain what had been going on. She opened and closed her mouth a couple times before sighing and ducking her head, this time as a way of hiding from her two companions. "Forgive me, Ts'itu, I let myself get distracted. I don't – It won't happen again."<br><br>And it wouldn't, not as far as she could see. It was one thing to let herself be momentarily taken in by the mysterious stranger; it was another to let him completely befuddle her senses. Finding it difficult to reconcile every emotion and thought from the last few minutes, she took a step back and let Ts'itu take over, wanting nothing more than to run away. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart grew, pushing out the warmth Tsaghani had managed to carve out in so short a time, and Son' Lahleli kept her head down, forehead creased in thought as she tried to figure herself out.<br>

The way he touched her, so gently, yet so fierce, it was enough to make a small growl form in the back of her throat. And when he pulled away, she couldn't help but give him a sheepish grin. Normally she had her wolf in control, but even her instincts could take over sometimes. Her nails dug into his back a little as he grabbed her bottom tightly, nibbling back on his lip as he did to her. She could tell he wanted her, and the thought of being with Seni had her head swimming. She never would have thought that she would be acting this way, but she could feel herself falling for him. His eyes and his aura told her all she needed to know. How could she have been so blind? This man was everything she could have ever wanted and more, and she found herself thanking the gods he didn't give up on her. With a soft sigh, she kissed him again, more passionately this time.

He even caught her swaying a little to those pounding drums and he found himself wondering what it would be like to hold those hips. He wondered what she would feel like under his rough hands, as they moved over her body. Shaking his head a little, he scratched the back of his head with his free hand, feeling a little nervous now for letting his imagination run wild. "I'm glad you like the food," he said as he took another bite of the bread. <br><br>When Hiti came over, he gave her a smile even as she fumbled through his name. He thought it was funny that she tried to play it off that her ankle didn't hurt, but he could see her favoring her better leg to stand on. He wouldn't call her out on this though, and found it endearing that she seemed like she wanted to be known as a strong person. He could certainly relate to that, but hoped she wouldn't be too stubborn to ask for help if she really needed it. He gave her a nod and then looked at Unna. "I plan on showing her a good time," he said with a quick wink. "In fact, I was just about to ask her to dance." He put his glass down on the table after taking another drink and held out his hand. "Unna, would you do me the honor?" He gave her a charming smile, hoping she wouldn't say no.<br>

"W-Whats wrong?" The girl paused, tilting her head ever so slightly as she questioned the Tikaan. "You look so glum. Is there a problem? I thought this was supposed to be a party." Crossing her arms&nbsp; tightly over her chest, she watched Kon as she awaited his answer, not sure what else there was to do until the Alpha returned.

Not even the children seemed to be able to tear his mind of the trials ahead. Again and again he had refused their pleas for stories and play. He just didn't want to put such burdens on the shoulder of pups, for his eyes and demeanor betrayed the worried state of the spirit world. He became easily tired, short of breath. It was as if his mind was fighting an invisible battle with the incorporeal. Perhaps he was just older than he thought.<br><br>He entered the Alpha's house as the moon was in its zenith, silently sweeping inside and wandering the shadows along the walls, away from the warmth of the hearth. He didn't want to bother the youthful plays and gentle caresses with his presence. Whenever he entered such festivities people got the idea in their heads that they needed to pay him respect. It was far mote important he thought to pay respect to the one you had laid down with and your friends. They could pay him the proper respect the next morning when they came to the Shaman's house to ease their headaches and upset stomachs.<br><br>His eyes followed the vibrant trails of the spirits up above him, wisps of smoke that rose among the beams and vaults of the ceiling. They wrapped around the pillars surrounding the open space in the middle of the hall and weaved between them, as if searching for something. The intricate head piece he wore, woven with the long strands of hair of long dead shamans with knots of bones and wings of an owl reaching up, stroked against the beams, causing a soft rasping sound that called more of the invisible spirits to congregate around him. They too were celebrating, for the land of the mortals and spirits were closer in many more ways than one. Finally the searching wisps settled above a blond girl standing to the side away from the others. It was the girl he had seen before, the leather worker. Silent as a fox sneaking up on an unsuspecting hare he towered up behind her.<br><br>"You were looking for me, Astrid?"

"I've never been one for large gatherings. Part of me figured you'd be the same, so I'd hoped perhaps you and I could take this time to speak." Astrid smiled and looked around the room again at all the youthful faces "I've always been one to get along with people older then myself, that probably stems from the fact I spent much of my time before coming here with my father or older brothers. Seeing you earlier made me feel at ease, though you seemed troubled."<br><br>Smiling before sitting down herself Astrid gestured to next to where she'd been sitting, offering Zhergan a seat. "I also have trouble connecting to people my age because most men and woman find me odd due to my choice of profession." Pursing her lips Astrid took a seat and crossed her legs, making sure that she was sitting properly. This wise man deserved the respect of proper etiquette, and Astrid wouldn't dare show him any less respect then what he deserved. "As I'm not sure what to call you yet, as I don't know your name, I hope you don't mind if I call you sir." Smiling she let out a soft chuckle, the sound of which would make the most holy of men think of angels.

It seemed this youth was a child without many troubles in life, raised in a happy family. It was such an alien thing to see in these times. As she spoke he noted that she talked in an easy way, not like his own pack mates who coated every word in silks of respect, but rather like a neighbor or uncle. She was probably from a small village or town where everyone knew each other. Seemingly a place sheltered from many of the evils of the world. How he envied that.<br><br>Even so there were traditions to uphold. It would have been to invite challengers to sway on them just because she was a stranger to their customs. "Omega will suffice. Sir is a informal Atallan title that lacks a certain... respect for the seer." His smile was thin and not entirely genuine as he sat down next to her, folding his legs underneath himself and tucking his arms into the long sleeves of his furred robes. It didn't matter much to him if he was perceived as mean or strict, rather that than weak a feeble. He could allow a child to say as she wanted, but she'd better wise up quickly once she reached a proper age. It was a pack after all. "Something troubles you? Or are you just indulging an old man with delicate company?"

"I suppose a bit of both, though my troubles are my own, and nothing to large. So they are not something I'd trouble you with. I however had thought that indulging an old man with company might be fun."<br><br>Shifting so that she could face him she took another drink and smiled at him. "There seems to be much I still do not know about the pack, and I don't want to step on toes. I'm new here, so I feel I should be careful about placing myself in the center of conversations that are not my own." She looked down into the liquid of her drink for a moment before looking back up at Zhergan. "Upon seeing you I was fairly sure I understood your status and rank within the pack. So I suppose talking to you is slightly less intimidating then speaking with the other Tikaan...." She paused for a moment and bit her bottom lip. "I hope that my not being intimidated by you does not offend you Omega."

Minor scratches but they would undoubtedly bleed profusely. She sighed and forced herself to calm, waited as her bloodied claws slipped into far less intimidating human nails. The blood upon her hands was washed away easily enough by the snow, leaving streaks of red against it's purity.<br><br>Given that it was put a short walk from the Alpha House to where Son' Lahleli's scent was strongest, she'd seen what was coming and what had prompted her to thoughtlessly dig her claws into her hair. Framed in moonlight and surrounded by ancient pines stood Son' Lahleli, the Ice Spirit as some stupid young pups occasionally described her, staring at a Tikaan male with something remarkably close to love within her eyes. That would have been enough to shock, yet then the Tikaan male leant forth as if to kiss Son' Lahleli. The two were so wrapped up within each other that they hardly seemed to notice her approach.<br><br><em>Good for Son' Lahleli</em>, Ts'itu thought wryly. As she drew to a stop before them, she placed one hand on her cocked him and tilted her head to the side. She would wait for them to acknowledge her, though her wolf was already raised and pacing within her at the sight of this intruder so close to one of her pack. Finally she saw the male freeze, then turn his head slowly to look over his shoulder at her, she smiled in a way that was distinctly feral.<br><br>Son' Lahleli backed away from the male quickly enough, a flush upon her cheeks and reluctance in her movement. The elder woman bowed, already explaining the situation in her usual succinct manner. Ts'itu's eyes flickered from the man in question back to her beta. There was something more than just random lust to the moment she'd stumbled upon, something she would need to keep an eye on, but later. It had to be something large to so distract Son' Lahleli. That was dangerous, possibly deadly, if this 'Tsaghani Udzaey' turned out to be a threat. Whether she scolded Son' Lahleli would be highly dependent upon whether or not the male turned out to be dangerous.<br><br>It seemed that Son' Lahleli was already aware of the danger she'd presented by being so caught up in the stranger. <em>Though in complete fairness,</em> Ts'itu thought, <em>he seemed just as caught up.</em> Indeed while Son' Lahleli had apologized and seemed ready to flee to some dark corner of the Beta House to lick her wounds, Tsaghani was already stepping beside the slightly shorter woman. His bow flowed smoothly into the next movement, that of placing his arm around Son' Lahleli's shoulders. So smooth it spoke of naturalism, of comfort and long years, something these two clearly could not have.<br><br><em>Mates,</em> she thought. Dark eyebrows rose. It was rare but not unheard of for Tikaan to bond near instantly to a so called 'perfect' mate. Most would merely court and grow to love some wolf or anther, but some, the lucky ones, found perfection in a single look. It would undoubtedly make whatever news this man brought twice as complicated. Had she been alone she would have groaned, as it was she grimaced slightly before nodding.<br><br>"Given the circumstances, I can hardly hold this against either of you. Though I would appreciate if you could contain yourselves long enough to tell me whatever it is that brought you the many miles to my pack's territory." Her tone was crisp, though not unkind. Mostly it spoke of being slightly uncomfortable with the situation. Perpetually single as she was, being around mates was always slightly awkward, especially when they were like this. She had no doubt that the moment her back was turned there would be more romantic declarations. She would let them get to it as soon as she was given the information that was supposedly so desperate only minutes before.<br><br>Apparently she was unaware of the possible hypocrisy of her thought process, for her desire to extract herself from the situation as soon as would be permissible given the possible threat Tsaghani still posed had little to do with cold or discomfort and much to do with the thought of the small redheaded sacrifice still waiting in the House for her.

Something was rattling the spirits tonight, they were moving in a pattern so unlike them. Like carrion birds circling a wounded animal, not at all the seemingly joyful and senseless flight they usually take. He took his eyes from the worrying display and looked over at Astrid again. She was grinning. Smiling. Laughing. Never had he met a sacrifice that seemed so ignorant of his position in between the worlds. Most Atallans shied away from him, because the little instincts that remained told them that he was more than the eyes could tell. Something dangerous. He managed a subtle smile as he turned his head towards the ceiling again.<br><br>"Most would be more intimidated once they knew of my position. Even the other Tikaan are nervous to meet my gaze. I must say it is a fresh sensation at least to not be... intimidating." He lowered his head a little as his hands sought into his robes, searching his pockets. "However, you must think of the position that you are in, Astrid. You are not Tikaan. You will never be Tikaan. You are part of our tribe but so far you are perched on a very low and brittle branch of our tree. All it needs is a little ruffle and it could break. So mind those that live above you. Unlike me, they will not give a second's notice before kicking you down if you ruffle their branches." He pulled his hand out of his robes and produced a pressed white flower, many-layered but with pointed petals. He took Astrid's hand in his own and placed it in hers. A wolf-star, very rare and often given in olden days to those a Tikaan wanted to claim. It was not his intentions with Astrid though. "You'll need someone that can protect you from the higher branches. Someone who's branch you can share. Once you find that person, give them this. They might not understand it, but the spirits will guide the both of you."

He was so fierce, yet so gentle, and it made her want him more. She leaned into him and kissed him once more, letting out a soft sigh before he spoke again. <strong>"But, I promise to be good, for now..."</strong> She couldn't help but smile at his words. He was always so good to her&nbsp; and even though his voice was deep and wanting, he was still holding back, waiting for her to be ready. Then he spoke again, and she found herself caught off guard. <br><br><strong>"...I love you."</strong> Those words, they made her speechless as her mind suddenly reeled. <em>'He.. He loves me..,'</em> was all she could think as she stared up him, her eyes open and doe-like. She had never heard those words from anyone other than family before, and she found herself suddenly scared of them. She didn't want to lie to Seni, but she wasn't quite sure how she felt yet. She cared deeply for him yes, but she had only just let herself discover those feelings today. "I.. I want to be honest, Seni," she said as she paused to look down for a moment before looking back into those deep grey eyes. "I certainly care about you, or else I would not have agreed to a mating, but I just don't think I'm in love with you. At least.. Not yet." She paused for another moment and took a deep breath, trying to choose her words carefully. "What I feel for you already is so strong, but it has only just begun. Love, it may take time, but I have no doubt that it will come." Danae smiled up at him and hugged him closely, but tried to be mindful of his wound. "You will be my mate, and we have our entire lives to love each other. I just need time," she whispered the words in his ear and gave him a kiss on his neck. She didn't want to let go, so she just stood there for a moment, hoping he would understand. <br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Mikla.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Mikla<br><strong>Who:</strong> Unna, Hiti&nbsp; // Open<br><strong>Where:</strong> Alpha House<br><strong>When: </strong>&nbsp; Evening<br><hr><br><br><strong>"I would do you the honor."</strong> Mikla grinned, feeling pride swell inside of him at just the mere acceptance of a dance with Unna. He looked over at Hiti and gave a nod, a more serious look on his face as he did. "I will take great care of her," he said with a glance to Unna as she put her delicate hand in his. Mikla couldn't help but smile as Unna blushed, and he ushered her off to the dance floor. He was glad to spend some time with her, and hoped he wasn't being too forward. Unlike most of the Tikaan here, who wanted lust, he felt like Unna needed more, and he wanted to give it to her. <em>'This is the kind of woman you take your time with,'</em> he thought to himself,<em> 'This one is special.'</em> He smiled over at her as they stepped just inside the dance floor, where it wasn't as crowded. <br><br><br>The beat of the drums was deep and pounding, but it had a nice pace. He didn't want to force her into doing anything more than she wanted, so he put his hands on her hips lightly and moved with her to the beat. "I hope you're enjoying yourself tonight," he said as he leaned closer so she could hear. They weren't as close to the drums as others, but it was still quite loud. <br>

"I didn't expect you to say it back, I have always been the one coming to you, desiring you, I had no doubt you would need time to love me, but I would be a fool to hide how I feel from you. I love you but I don't say it to rush you, I say it to let you know that I am sure that I desire only you to spend my life with." He said to her softly and tilted her eyes to his own gently as he leaned and claimed her lips with his own.<br><br>He spun them and lifted her from the floor, pressing her back to the wall softly as he brought her face level with his, holding her up with ease. "Do not worry about saying it until you are absolutely certain that you feel it, I don't want you regret a thing..." He whispered softly, pressing his body to hers but keeping his urges in check as a soft and needy growl rose in him.
