Rose breathed slow and steady as she traced her steps back to the camp clearing after a short and unsuccessful hunt. Her amber eyes stared holes into the ground as her tail swayed to and fro with every step that she took. Her heart beat wildly and she felt as if her own failure was really getting to her. She had attempted to catch a doe, but she had slipped by misplacing her paw and sliding across the leafy ground. She shook her head and slowly moved around the tree she nearly walked into. She blinked her amber eyes and laughed at how easily she seemed to walk into things. Her tail swayed and she lifted her head up slowly as she tried to figure out what exactly she would do to lift her spirits. She could patrol the borders, but her heart was not quite into it. She breathed in the scents from the camp clearing and she tried hard to recognize a few of the scents, but she had no luck since they were mixed together. She shifted slowly and let her tail swing once more, this time in a pleasant wag. She closed her eyes tightly and slowly she breathed in the chilling air. She swayed and slowly she moved to lay by a tree that was near her den. She turned in three full circles, finally resting her whole body against the ground. Her eyes fluttered shut and she drifted off into a light sleep.

"When will we get there father?" Her brother's deep voice rang out as they trotted deeper into the forest. Her father flicked an annoyed ear at the young he-wolf and grumbled about his impatience before fully responding. "We will get there when we get there, now be quiet and go walk near your sister." She let out a small giggle and watched as her brother slowed down and walked by her side in silence, throwing a glare in her direction playfully. She wagged her tail and brushed up against her brother, her amber eyes meeting his own amber hues. They would laugh in silence even though neither of them had said a single word to the other. Rose and Holmes had a 'connection' as they called it. Where they would just look at each others and be able to read the other well enough to know without using speech. Her other brother and sister walked behind them, trying to figure out what they were laughing at and why. Rose would tilt her head towards her sister just in time to catch a few words. "Freaks." Rose flicked her ear at her sister and would have ignored the comment if her brother Holmes hadn't fully stopped and turned with a loud snarl. "Don't you dare talk about Rose like that!" She was amused by the fact that he only defended her, and not himself.

Their father stopped them before the argument could go farther and so they simply continued walking. "Father, where are we going?" Rose finally asked, knowing that he would only ever answer her or Thunder. "We are going to meet the Alpha and your mother in a bit." He responded as if it were business and in a way, it was. They continued walking until they reached their destination. It was a small clearing filled with many flowers and herbs. The Alpha stood beside their mother, facing away from the young almost two year old's. Her siblings rushed forward and greeted their mother while trying to be submissive to the Alpha. Rose stayed by her fathers side in a submissive stance, not moving any closer to her mother. After a bit of greeting and telling about their walk, they were all seated in a line and the Alpha stood in front of them. "Today, you all have something to celebrate." He grew silent and nodded to Rose's father and mother to speak. Their father stepped forward and spoke first. "Today the Alpha has chosen two of you for something special. Thunder my son, you have been chosen to be Lead Warrior with great promise." Her father backed up and nodded, a pleased smile upon his maw and her siblings jumped for joy. "Rose, you have been chosen to be the Alpha's future mate when you grow more mature then now." Everyone fell silent and slowly Rose stood up and approached her mother. She nuzzled her mother and then her father before stepping back and standing before the Alpha. "I will not let you down and do my job as you please." Her voice was hollow, and slowly she backed away. Her amber eyes glistened with the sunlight and the minute she was able to turn around, her paws pounded against the ground and she disappeared into the forest.

Her eyes flashes open and she slowly shook her head as she fully registered the dream she had been having. It had nothing to do with her past except for what she had been wanting to happen when she was younger but even then, it was odd that the dream made her the alpha's chosen mate when she honestly didn't want a mate unless they could make her fall in love. So perhaps her dream was more of a nightmare. She shifted slowly and stretched her sore muscles, standing up and making her way across the camp clearing and towards the woods. Her paws carried her into the woods and deeper she would go until she heard the sound of another wolf. She shifted her course and crouched low to the ground, amber eyes darting back and forth as she caught onto the scent of a she-wolf that she knew ever so slightly. Her heart danced with joy as she emerged from the bushes and spotted the white fae. "Greetings Emilia! Lovely day for a stroll, yes?" Her voice danced enchantingly as she spoke to something that just brightened her day.

Shortly though, there was a source in the air that caught this females attention. It was faint on end in the light breeze and Emilia perked her receptors and whiffed at the air, soon became stronger as the lovely voice reached her ears. Turning her head to glance over at the other ivory female, was Rose. With a smile of content, her tassel began to move; tapping along the surface seeing a wolf as good as herself. "Good day to you Rose. Why it is  wonderful day. How have you been?" the she-wolf quarried , slowly arising to her paws with courtesy of the approach.

As Rose caught the attention of the white fae, she listened to her words and then slowly seemed to ponder them. She swayed slightly and just decided to plop down upon her rump and chuckle. "I have been busy as of lately, many duties to fulfill and oh so many things to do!" She paused in her words and smiled at the other she-wolf, nodding her head gently. "And you? How have you been adjusting to the pack's life? Have you met any handsome brutes? She chuckled lightly at her last one as it was meant to be taken as a joke, though the males within her packs were quite handsome in both personality and looks. She herself had yet to actually meet someone whom could handle all of her demons and traits that no one had ever seen. Of course she figured the closer the friend was, then perhaps they would see more of each others rather then just the perfect image each wolf tried to uphold for the other. She herself thought it was very silly to not be honest from the start. Her heart beat gently against her chest as her amber eyes looked upon the she-wolf. She was awaiting a response from the other fae. Rose found it very interesting that she ran into Emilia, thinking perhaps it was just coincidence or maybe they had drawn together for friendship. Her tail swayed as she thought about the things she could do with a friend like Emilia. They could chat and become closer among each other as friends and maybe even be considered as sisters if all went alright. Or she could say something wrong and leave on bad terms. The possibilities of friendships and enemies were quite endless, and while it would be hard to become one of Rose's enemies, it would be just as hard to become a close friend. But alas, Rose trusted wolves far easier then one would expect and so she often would get herself in trouble.

Rose smiled warmly towards the she-wolf, her amber eyes dancing as the fae spoke her mind. She pondered as the she-wolf spoke, trying to figure out as to whom she would suggest for the young fae to meet. She thought instantly about Eclipse, knowing he was a good friend and she smiled at the thought. She could suggest the Alphess or perhaps one of the caretakers that she knew. Her mind bubbled with excitement as she plotted it out slowly. "Well, there is Elite Eclipse whom is a very dear friend of mine, I am sure you would enjoy his company and the talks. Caretaker Crystal has won over my dear heart with how sweet and caring she is, I am sure she will welcome you with open paws. The Betas are a very dear couple and wise beyond their years. There is an apprentice here in Helidos that I am sure would just love to meet you, Aleu the bear-heart as I call her." She rambled on as she listed off the wolves she held dear to her heart. "A healer by the name of Bovinari has recently joined the pack as well, you may take a fancy to him... he's quite sweet and charming." The words rolled off of her tongue and she smiled at the fae warmly. "But really, who you meet and become friends with is entirely up to you, and while I can give suggestions... it is your own heart that you must follow and that is what will bring you closer to others." She finished speaking and slowly wrapped her tail around her paws and let her ears flick forward to show that she was listening. She breathed slowly and yet she could eel strength and emotions racing through her body. "I must admit, Emilia... I too have yet to really mingle with many males... I am looking forward to this Spring however... you Caretakers will have your paws full with young and life." She smiled and almost wanted to bark with joy due to the fact she was very excited for the coming Spring.
