Description

Number 2 adoptable wolfie from :iconorengel: [link] because I cannot resist her damned designs :roll:

Ruuqo felt uneasily restless in the clearing filled with his pack mates. The morning had gone very well, with each of the pack catching a bountiful amount of prey, and yet Ruuqo could not shake this dread mounting in his throat.

"Emerald," he turned to desperation as the shimmering gold wolf emerged from the bracken into the sunlight.

"Yes, Ruuqo?" she inquired, her soft voice filled with concern at his demeanor.

"I feel... so restless today," he admitted, shuffling his paws and looking away from her green eyes; unusual behavior for an Alpha male.

"What is it, my dear? Have you seen something?" she rubbed his muzzle quickly and affectionately, drawing his attention back, and focusing his thoughts. Her fur was like ember alight with flame in the blazing sun.

"N-no... I just... I'm sorry, Emerald. I shouldn't have bothered you with such nonsense." he licked her between the ears - the right was always flopped over - and turned away.

Bounding out of the clearing, he began a path of meandering aimlessly through his forest. He breathed in the scent of pine, and leaves, and felt the earth beneath his stark white paws, and when he was finally at peace, he lay down beneath a large oak and slept.

ThudThudThudThud

Aquilo was far from home and had no recollection of how he had ended up where he was. All he knew was that he was running and he had been for a very long time.

By the time Aquilo had slowed to a steady trot, he was panting and disregarding all scents, focusing on the sound of his paws against pine needles, and the dust entering his eyes.

He wasn't frightened, like any other wolf would be, and took no notice to the large, black and white wolf lying beneath the large oak in the middle of the forest. As he trotted on by, Ruuqo lifted his large head and soon after took pursuit of the gangly creature.

"Are you lost?" he asked in his gruff, Alpha voice as the newcomer slowed to a walk.

Aquilo wheeled, startled, and bared his large white fangs bravely.

"If I wished to remove you from my territory, pup, I would have done so long ago." Ruuqo stated calmly, sitting gracefully with a wise look upon his face.

Aquilo shook himself, and stared at the Alpha with a grim smirk.

"What do you want with me? I've trespassed into your territory, and made a kill not long ago." he lifted his head with defiance, the white spots and patches on his muzzle shining brightly in the sunlight.

Ruuqo huffed without concern. "Whelp, you are clearly lost, and need my help... Why don't you tell me your name?"

Aquilo squinted his eyes and looked away. "Aquilo."

"Ruuqo is my name," the Alpha continued, clearly pleased to have broken through the invisible barrier the young wolf had kept up their entire conversation.

"Well, Ruuqo, I can see you're an Alpha, and I do not need help. So if you could let me pass quietly, I would be most... gracious," Aquilo sneered the last word, and turned to lope away when Ruuqo said softly,

"Shall I allow such a young wolf to continue headfirst into danger?"

Aquilo grit his teeth and shook himself again in irritation.

"Or did you not notice you were following a human-made road this entire journey?" Ruuqo continued with amusement, unphased by the wiley youngster.

Aquilo groaned softly and looked down. 'What a fool' he thought to himself, and turned back to Ruuqo with clearer eyes.

"Yes, well. I've not been out very long on my own, and in fact... I'm unsure to how I've even come to this place," he admitted, in a softer tone, similiar to a submissive and respectable beta.

"I can teach you so much," Ruuqo turned and trotted away, and not long after, Aquilo followed.
