Gift From a Beta (open)

Again Marrok had been awakened early to his beloved leaving the den for patrols. It pained him to see her work so hard and he knew it was wearing on her. More and more he saw her tired and the pair had less time for each other than in their younger days. Marrok had a feeling they were in a bit of a plateau in their relationship, but that needed to change. Remembering their first meeting and that purple flower he had tucked behind her ear gave him an idea that afternoon. Going far from the pack lands to a place he had only heard of from others soon the sweet smell of flowers hit him. Tales of flowered trees in this area led him to find some, to bring some back for his love. He had to give her a reason that he stilled loved her.

The trees came into sight and they were more beautiful than he ever thoughts. Hung tightly packed with blossoms the trees were covered in dresses of pink, purple and magenta. They hung in strange of twenty or so flowers, creating a long vine of intense color. He knew Juno would love a length of these, perhaps to place in the den to make it pretty. What ever she did with them he knew he had to gather some. One problem was the height at which the flowers were. The purple tree was the closest for him to reach, but still a few feet up. Never being very good at climbing the male spent a few minutes trying to jump, only to grasp a petal or two and land it the grass. Frustrated he then circled the trees, looking for answers to get to the flowers. A lower branch came into view and the Beta managed to climb up on it. Clinging like a cat to the bark he inched out, not making much progress. Making the fatal mistake to look down he clung harder to the branch and ended up shifting enough to slide to the side and dangle some five feet over the ground. Kicking at the air he finally fell down, landing on his side with a thud. Now growling he charged at the tree, determined to shake flowers loose. Clawing at it his paw slipped into a crack and promptly got stuck.

Great, just great

Drake wandered through the neutral territories looking for new places to explore. As he walked he found himself in an area with tree's covered in flowers. He looked around taking in the sweet scent of the area, smelling the faint scent of a deer that had been through here not to long ago. He stopped what he was doing when he caught the scent of another wolf. He could already tell by the scent that it was not from his pack. He felt the need to go and see who it belonged to and knew since he was in the neutral lands he shouldn't be completely hostile towards it. Drake followed the scent until he came across a male trying to get into a tree for an unknown reason. Drake watched the wolf carefully staying out of sight. He didn't know whether he should help or not since it was not a wolf from his pack, but he felt that if he helped this wolf then he could possibly get to know more about the other packs around and he could possibly make an ally. He did not want to be hostile towards any wolf that could be helpul to him in the future. Drake noticed the male now was stuck with his paw in a crack in the tree. He approached the male slowly and spoke, "What is the point of this?" He examined the situation and started to think of how he would get his paw out. Drake sighed as he thought of a way to help. It wasn't like him to help other wolves but he knew it could benefit him in some way. "Do you want help?" he huffed to the wolf. He stepped towards the wolf getting a closer look at his paw and knew if he twisted his paw to the side and tried pulling it out he would either scrape it up or mess it up so he decided he might actually have to do something. If he tore at the tree around his paw he could make it easier to just lift his paw out. Drake waited for the wolf to answer before he tried to help so that he did not do anything without the consent of the wolf. He may not trust a wolf from Erenyx although if Drake were in his place he would accept any help. Drake looked to the wolf as he thought about the situation.

[Hope you don't mind Drakey-Poo joining XD this isn't my best work but I wanted Drake to meet an Helidos wolf]

At the crack of dawn, the black wolf rose from her quarters and began her daily rounds to enjoy the company of sunrise. Summer was in full swing, tipping off the warm morning with a fresh set of clear dew over the several blades of grass she passed and so on for miles beyond her eyes. The humidity was hard against her dark pelt, but she minded little of it, having dealt with it for nearly six years of her life now since the spring. She'd pant normally whilst moving through tougher terrains, patrolling the borders with ease and watchful, trained emerald eyes like she'd learn from an early age in this pack. Ever since hearing word of Erenyx from Katysusha, the Beta female had felt herself constantly stressed with the idea of having pups kill one another for strength in their numbers. It was sickening, and to her, it only fueled the idea that had formed in her mind that anyone could be a threat at this point. Luckily, Helidos was the strongest in the area according to scent, she could only hope that meant they were the fullest in numbers.

She went looking for serenity in the purple meadows she once visited before in the spring to where she had once met the fae that granted her the news. The black fae would rest there like she'd done since the neutral land had been claimed safe to explore. She enjoyed coming here often to enjoy the flowers, the tranguility and instant relief it seemed to be able to consume her stressed mind and bothersome thoughts. Juno adored every petal that brushed against her thick glossy pelt of onyx, a soft smile crossing her lips in doing so as the smell alone was enough to please just about any wolf that could tolerate such scents. She had known some from her natal pack that were sensitive to certain smells, luckily she was not one. The beta would always be able to smell things for what they were and not by how strong they actually could be if inhaled too deeply on its own. Rummaging her face against the soft tall grasses, she cooed a small noise of happiness to herself until looking up to hear others had been approaching. She ducked low, allowing the tall plants to encase even the darkest portions of her pelt from full exposure. The tips of her triangular ears stood up, wide and narrow to listen full well to those whom so entered her field of vision.

Relief soon then hit her, causing her chest to no longer puff up but slowly fall into its casual, relaxed state once she had noticed it was a Helidos wolf. Se couldn't quite see whom it was, or smell them passed all the lavender, but she did find the colors of the wolf's pelt ravishing and handsome. Much like her own mate's. Though he seemed to be in a rather funny situation as she observed this one. She couldn't help hiding her small giggle as he somehow managed to get stuck. The tall, elegantly long legged female stood up to go help him before crouching back down to the figure of another. One of darker complexion, but no where near as dark as she'd be. This male was patchy of darker greys and even some auburns much like her mate. They looked vaguely similar in pelt difference, perhaps they held some relation, she guessed, clueless of their true identities. Standing to full height, she maneuvered through the garden of purple pigments and light pinks to meet the crowd of two brutes. The closer she got, the more she realized that one was from Erenyx, and the other truly was her mate, Marrok. She shook her head slowly, nearing the duo with a sound expression and humoured smile, "Marrok.. what have you gotten yourself into, dear?" Juno said, her tone of a soft velvet and dressed in satin silk. She minded the other whom offered help, silently grateful for his politeness as she nodded a small hello to him before peering back at her mate quietly.

Struggling a bit at his misfortune the Beta soon relaxed with his front paw at a uncomfortable angle. Sighing he tried rearing up to a higher stance and slide his paw out, but again this didn't work either. Growling to himself he started to chew at the bark around his paw when a voice and a rancid smell of Erenyx hit him. Turning his head as much as he could he saw a younger male walk at him. Stiffening out of reflex he growled to him. "If you thing you can attack a Helidos wolf who's stuck you have less honor than I thought you Erenyx did." He growled, but knew he would need the males help. "Sorry I'm not usually this rude. I'm Marrok, Beta of Helidos and I have my paw stuck in the crag, nothing hurt, just stuck. Any ideas?" He questioned, going back to the ground which left his leg in the air.

As if this wasn't bad enough who should happen to join the pair, but the very wolf he didn't want to see him like this. Now any other time he would have loved to see his mate away from the busy pack, but not here like this. "Hi honey" he chuckled coyly. "I'm stuck and fear you may have a three legged mate soon if I don't get out." He joked, rearing back up to bite at the bark. "How do beavers enjoy this?" He growled, spitting out a mouth full of splinters.

Drake understood why the wolf had first reacted in a curt way. He would have turned away from the male if he had not apologized. Although for Drake it was his first time hearing the name of this pack. After the male introduced himself as Beta Marrok, Drake simply nodded to him. Another wolf holding the same pack scent showed up soon after, this one a female instead. Drake looked to the wolves a bit uneasy with two wolves from an pack that he had never heard of. But Drake decided he would continue to act at least decent "Well then, hello Marrok. I am Drake a hunter of, as you said, Erenyx." His voice held a bit of sarcasm at the end of his sentence as his gaze fell upon the female that now stood next to the male. She had dark fur that would suck for the summer and emerald orbs. She was larger then Drake and older too, but not by much it seemed. "I did have an idea but it would be difficult and would get your paw all scraped up." he examined the wolves before him and how they acted with each other. The two were obviously mates, since Marrok had said that already. Drake sat down and looked to his paw again. "If you can somehow turn your paw then you could pull it out. Other then that, I would have said to try and make the hole in the tree bigger as you already tried." His expression stayed emotionless as he spoke. He watched them carefully, especially the one that wasn't stuck. If she tried to attack him then he had to be prepared to fight. He figured by the way the male first spoke that their pack or at least he thought lowly on Erenyx wolves. He didn't know why, the way he was raised he was made to believe that was the way life had to be. You had to weed out the weak wolves, and you had to protect those that are close to you even if it means you must kill another wolf. Drake knew absolutely nothing of this pack and he planned on learning more, hopefully today. But first, they had to get the male out of the tree. Drake still wondered why he was trying to get in the tree in the first place but didn't bother asking.

Drake didn't really listen to the words exchanged between the pair and just watched them. Waiting for something to happen or anything. He was bored and wanted to run a bit. But he wanted to stay and learn more of these wolves or at least have somebody to talk to. The only wolves he interacted with after he joined the pack was Lead Warrior Naomi and Delta Caspian. He wanted to see if there were any wolves willing to be friendly around this area. It was easy for Drake to be friendly although it was easier for him to be mean and rude. Although Drake had something going here, he would make wolves think that he was truly respectful and nice, but when it came down to it. He would be relentless and rude and that could easily take any wolf by surprise. Although Drake was told that it was best if he should just stay away from the Alpha. He would prove himself to be a worthy follower of Teren.

It had been made quite obvious before reaching the duo that they had underwent an argument, only fueled by their differences, which hadn't seemed to of surprise the dark fae. She found this quite the situation for her mate to find himself wound up in, she'd laugh at the many stories he'd come home with sometimes, or even some that she'd hear around the pack about what messes he's made or what things he had gotten himself into. Not to imagine all the arguments that may or may not have followed, or fueled in his presence. The Beta female observed them quietly, never to intrude until given her exposure, she had made it clear that she was there near them, after all. She knew already so much of her lover, but none of the wolf that accompanied him that fought for the other side of the sarcastic amount of comments. Surely an Erenyx, she thought, but she may of been wrong before. Soon the wind picked up which helped clear her suspicions. The way he carried himself was one to look for, though not out of him needing a watchful eye, but looking for in case he be needed for a stronger level of command some day. Despite the sass in his tone, Juno could see the potential he secretly had tucked away for his pack only to see, or perhaps, only his superiors. She learned from eavesdropping that the male was named Drake, a hunter of their rival pack. Her expression was unchanging, a subtle grin happily dancing on her lips as she peered to him until changing her direction of gaze to her beloved other. "It's nice to meet you, Hunter." Said she in a polite fashion, her triangular ears pointed skywards and frequently at a slow rotate when the winds blew noise behind her.

As her mate had spoken, Juno adored him even more as her sparkling set of emerald eyes crinkled into a fit of tamed laughter. "Four legs, or three legs, so be it. I'll love you no matter the health or condition." She said passed her own giggling, hesitantly quieting herself until she'd listen to how they planned to get him out of the tree crack. "Perhaps because they're beavers, dear, they were born to do such things unlike us. Our purpose is to hunt live things, not chew on wood." The beta slowly rolled her eyes, but again she couldn't help but to laugh at her mate's silly yet humorous remarks. With a cool head, she curled her black tail around her side and slowly lowered her haunches to sit against the warm dirt. As the weight distributed to the ground, putting less pressure on her limbs, she released a pleasant sigh of satisfaction and looked up to the two males with care, "I believe you should try as the male suggests. Even if you return home with a sprain, it can always be healed, dear."

Marrok listened to Drake as he spoke, taking his idea to heart. Nodding his head Marrok tried to twist his paw to a different angle to slide out. This was easier said than done as the new angle made his shoulder twist uncomfortably and his throat to make out a whine. Still trying he tried to put on a brave face as Juno cooed to him in his ear. Trying harder with each second the male finally jumped upwards and twisted at the same time. This nearly worked if he had not flexed out his dew claw on his trapped foot. By doing this it dug deep into the wood and pulled painfully as his foot nearly was free. Gasping out a small cry he gulped as he knew this next moment would hurt like heck.

Bracing himself the Beta pulled with all his might backwards to rip his paw and claw from the tree crack. Pain shot through his paw as his embedded claw tore from his foot, leaving it dangling by a small amount of flesh at the end. It started to bleed quickly and Marrok whimpered from pain. Unable to put his foot down his large amber eyes pleaded to Juno for relief. "All I was trying to do was to get you some flowers love, was this some sort of pay back for not giving you enough attention?" He said sadly as he glanced down at his bleeding and swollen paw. "And I still have no flowers for you" he sighed defeated. "I fail you as a mate, even a crippled one." Turning back now to Drake he willed himself to smile at the male. "Thank you for your assistance Drake."

The hunter watched silently as the male twisted and turned trying to get his paw out as Drake had suggested. He was a tiny bit glad that the male had taken his suggestion since he didn't seem that glad that Drake came to help. Yes, he was from another pack that seemed to be different then theirs, but he should at least be relieved that a different packmate of his didn't come. Once the wolf was free from the clutches of the tree the wolf started yakking about what he was doing and how he was a failure. After Marrok finished explaining himself he turned to Drake, Drake watched him closely ready in case of an attack. He still didn't know what to think of these wolves from the Helidos pack. And if the male really were to attack it wouldn't be right, he was injured and Drake just helped him. But he never knew. It put his mind to rest when the wolf smiled and thanked him. How do these wolves keep such a happy and kind attitude, surely nothing like Erenyx. He nodded to Marrok not really knowing what to do. Smiling wasn't his thing so he forced himself to say something. "No problem." Although I don't think my packmates would like the fact that I helped you. He though to himself. If Drake wanted to he could've attacked the wolf in the first place, but that would probably been a bad idea and he could have left Marrok but he was curious to learn more about the strange scent. And if he killed him then the other pack would probably be after Erenyx for killing their Beta and it would seem just weak to kill a trapped wolf.

Drake looked at the male's paw, it was swollen and his dew claw was almost completely tore off of his paw, it was bleeding quite a bit. Drake looked at the way the the female and male interacted and just now he had realized how much of an awkward situation he had gotten himself into. He was helping a wolf from what could be an enemy pack and then the mate of this wolf just so happened to show up. He was just a bit nervous with the two wolves yet he felt sort of comfortable since they seemed really nice and they didn't seem like they would try to attack him. But Drake said the first thing that came to mind when he looked at the paw. "You need to get to a healer." He sort of hoped that they would leave but at the same time he wanted to know more about the area that he now lived in. At first he thought that Erenyx were the only pack in the area and now he has learned that there is another. This started making him wonder how much more there were that he didn't know about.

As her mate would struggle against his will to break free of the tree, she'd observe, and try her hardest to keep still as much as she so wished to help him or provide him with loving affection. She resisted such urges to keep from embarrassing her beloved in front of another male, especially being because he was Erenyx, and of a lower rank. To her, she had learned mothering a brute could destroy their intimidating science and self confidence, which she thought never to do before another despite how much she so loved her significant other. Marrok did as he must, without her having to shower him with care - however, she couldn't help herself but to weep in fear and great concern once he had ripped his paw from the crack. She winced, wondering how agonizing it must've felt, and internally pleased with the fact it had not been her that was stuck. Just by looking at the wound to his paw made her lean back a bit on the back of her hind legs out of some disgust. Though before she could say anything, her mate had started to apologizing, instantly confusing her as she had narrowed her brows in question. "Marrok..," Her ears narrowed back, a tad hesitant in the presence of another wolf as the Beta male expressed his sorry's to her. She shook her head before stepping forth to nuzzle his cheek kindly before grazing her lips against his ear, "Do not worry, my love, your effort has not gone unnoticed, and I love you all the more for trying to provide me happiness. You've not failed me, my sweet Marrok." Stepping back, she rounded around her mate's side and peered to the stranger as he spoke, agreeing with a nod to what he had to suggest. A healer was much needed. If she were more experienced, she'd volunteer to heal him now, but unfortunately she was not as knowledged as a camp healer may be back in Helidos.

"Drake is correct, your paw must be disinfected soon or you'll have a unwanted infection." Juno tried to say in a calm manner, peering to her mate with stern emerald eyes that meant she was serious and he should do as she wishes for his sake. Helidos lacked in the department of healing, but were fortunate enough to have at least one that didn't seem all too busy lately, given everyone's levels were quite healthy and standard according to her knowledge. The beta female neared a bit closer to Marrok, taking her paw against his wrist and pushing lightly up so that she could bring it closer to her face to observe it. It hadn't been as severe as she had thought, and perhaps not as painful as it grossly looked, perhaps a cobweb or two would stop the bleeding. That much she did know, as for disinfecting cuts, she had no idea how or what was needed. "-Or.. we could clot it enough now to pull the rest of the claw off. I'm sure the Erenyx wolf would absolutely enjoy ripping a Helidos Beta's claw off.." She said rather sarcastically, knowing it would sound a bit stereotypical for any rival pack wolf to enjoy the misery of their rightful enemy. Still, it wasn't a bad idea, and she knew precisely she would not want to be the one to put her beloved in more pain. Didn't hurt to try, she thought.

Daring to glance down at his injured paw Marrok felt his face loose all blood and his knees grow weak. The sight of seeing his paw bloody and a claw dangling by torn flesh nearly made him sick in front of the Erenyx male and his mate. Swallowing back the vomit that had risen up into his maw he shakily sat down and tentatively licked at his stinging flesh. "I know I need a healer, just let me collect myself here" he asked hearing both of them prod him to return to the pack. "This must put some picture in your mind about Helidos huh Drake?" He asked, looking to the male. He could only imagine the stories he would spread around about Helidos's proud Beta caught in a tree and ripping his paw off.

Juno nuzzled him and his licked her cheek in return. Though he was still annoyed to not have gotten her flowers it was still nice to spend time with her, even under these circumstances. She then joked about ripping his claw off and he backed up quickly. "Oh no, not this Beta you will not. I'd rather rip my own claw off myself then have a Erenyx or even a healer do it." He whined like a pup, limping backwards into the tree trunk. Wincing from the pain he gazed down at his paw and tried to lick at it more, only to make the bleeding quicken. Nearly at his limit of gore he lay down and shuddered, now feeling sick. "I think I need to lie down a moment" he mumbled as the full amount of pain kicked in and his adrenaline ceased. Slowly he drifted off as he passed off in front of two wolves he hoped never to.

~Marrok is now out cold and I give Juno permission to do WHATEVER necessary to awaken him~

Drake listened as both wolves spoke. The thought of Drake ripping to claw from the Beta of an opposing pack made a small grin dance onto the hunters face. Drake liked the thought of putting the wolf in pain, whether it was a wolf from his pack or another pack he just learned of. He now looked to the male that started whining about his paw. He didn't look like he was coping well with his injury. Drake didn't show it, but he really enjoyed this. It was entertaining to him and made him want to stay there to see what will happen next. Before he knew it Marrok was on the ground passed out, he would have gotten up to help but the female might not allow him to get close to her passed out mate and he was just waiting for her reaction. Drake looked to the female to see what she would do and if she would ask for help, he didn't care at this point now that she was there to help. It was her mate so it was her responsibility. Drake was tempted to leave and let fate do it's work but something made him want to stay and linger around for a little longer. He didn't speak at all as he watched it all happen. He didn't know what to say and he wouldn't ruin this moment by asking if she needed his help. Surely she could figure it out on her own and he wanted to see if these wolves could be as smart as they are weak. He wasn't exactly thinking they were weak physically since he hasn't got the chance to test the strength of these wolves but the fact that the Beta Male of this pack couldn't stand a little blood was what he found weak.

[sorry for the shortness, couldn't think of much more to put :)]

By the look in Marrok's eye, the Beta female felt queasy with the enough knowledge to know where this was going, for it did not surprise her even in the slightest to make their ranks even more seemingly useless to their rival. She sighed, an irritated sigh, displaced soon after with a laugh in disbelief that he had allowed himself to do that in front of an Erenyx, even if it were just a bit of blood, bit of pain. The brute now lay unconscious before them, and all she could do was slowly sit and shake her head while looking in the opposing situation. Juno tried to see passed the small mistake that embarrassed their ranks for his attempt at finding flowers for her, her exterior meaning nothing to what she may of felt, but a spark of rage inside her began to glow. She wished to leave him as he lay there, perhaps walk off with the Erenyx in a chat until her beloved would chose to get a hold of himself, but she knew that was rude. It was her responsibility now to get him back to base;thankfully, her youth and strange will be able to get him there if needed on her shoulders. Her mate unfortunately did not have this luxury anymore, for his limbs were growing old and nimble - she could only wonder how long it'll be before hers are the same. "Damnit, Marrok.." She cursed underneath her breathe as she peered down at the fallen state of her lover, slowly motioning around him before observing around herself to see what she could do to wake him, that is, if she could.

As her emerald serpent eyes rested on Drake, she switched her focus back onto her mate quickly before looking back at him with a sweet smile - though her eyes said a different story that could only mean she had a plan worth his while. "I'm not one to physically batter my mate with violence, but perhaps you would take some interest in doing it for me." Juno stepped back, moving slightly over so that she'd near the end of the Beta male's tail, where it laid lifelessly against the ground. Nudging it towards Drake, she hoped he'd know what she was talking about, then backing up to see if he'd be willing to even do it before they'd try it. "My name is Juno, by the way, but I can only assume it means nothing to you other than a word. However, please bite as hard as you feel is needed to wake him, I shall be a few lengths away to watch. If you are to refuse my request, I will simply take him into my own paws. On the other side, if you are to accept, I will benefit you with a buck to bring back to your pack." The she-wolf said to the other before backing slowly away from the side of the male so that when he would get up, she would avoid the chance so being bitten or even thrashed at with his claws.

The female looked around her and Marrok once the male fell. She seemed to be a bit frustrated but it was hard for Drake to tell through her wierd happy attitude. She turned to the hunter with a smile that confused him even more. How can she be so cheery even with the situation she is in. He thought but before he could even try to figure it out she interrupted hiis thoughts. When she quit talking she pushed her mates tail closer to him. Hinting for him to do her job of waking Marrok up. Drake almost denied doing it then she introduced herself and offered to give a buck to his pack. Drake nodded, right then starting to think of what he would say if confronted by an Erenyx wolf like before with the lead warrior. Drake right away knew what he would say, he would lie and say that he swept in and took the kill from an Helidos wolf, claiming it as his. The rest could be determined later. For now he cleared his mind and spoke. "If that is what you wish." His voice was dull and bored, he stepped forward and reached down to the tail, grabbing it. Drake bit down carefully at first but then added pressure until he tasted a little blood, then he stopped. He dropped the Beta's tail and let out a huff as he looked down to the male to see if anything happened. He didn't bite down hard enough to actually cause real damage and just broke the skin a little.

Drake didn't bother to move back as he look to Juno to see her reaction. If she was still mad-happy or anything. This Helidos wolf confused him and he wondered if the other wolves in this pack were the same. He knew that Erenyx was a strong and ruthless pack and that was nothing new to him but these wolves were weak and kind. He hadn't run into a single pack like this. Drake wondered what made them this way, what could possibly make them smile all the time. He cleared his mind now watching Marrok. He knew there was a possibility that he would wake up and bite him or claw him but he didn't care. That could just add to his story with the buck.
