It was a sunny spring day were Eagle's Claw territory was. Wolves were hunting in their own territories, pups were playing, and elders telling tales of their ansestors in a tree den. Everything was perfect. Exept for hunters killing wolves just for a sport.

One early sunny afternoon, the leader of Eagle Claw pack whom was Assault, was patroling the territory, and even the entire forest. He wanted to make sure that all wolves and animals were safe from savage hunters. Just then, he heard a loud gunshot split the air. Birds came flying out of the trees, afraid they would get shot. "Those hunters.." He murmered. He then ran down the slope, seeing what happened.

Once at his territory, he gazed around the camp. He didn't see any playing pups, talking elders or teen wolves wresteling each other. All he saw was dead wolves, and blood everywere. He growled. He stared sternly at the gun on the ground. "I swear the next time I see you, I'll rip out your tounge so your guts will spill. "He snarled. "I know your dirty little face.." He murmmered. Then he saw a hunter on his horse, walking towards the camp. With his fast reflexes, he dashed into to the bush. He bared his teeth. He saw the hunter taking one wolf by one, into his huge sack that read Wolf Slaughter in faint letters. "Wolf slaughter..?" He thought. Then the hunter spotted the gun on the ground, picked up and ran off on his horse.

Assault walked tiredly out of the bloodstained forest. He looked up from his feet and saw the stars with a message carried on them. It said Your dear pack members will rest in peace up in heaven. You are no longer a loner... wake up tommrow and you will see a suprise. Do not wheep, Assault. He reconized this voice. It was that wolfdog hero's mom- Aniu! So he walked on to find a den and slept in it.

The next morning, sadness was no longer inside of him. He woke up feeling happy, but saw no suprise. So he went back into the den, only to hear that calm, soothing voice in it. "Its Aniu again!" He said to himself. Aniu said Go to the upper forest, near Nome. Its also near Nava's pack. In between them, really. Then she chuckled softly. Now go, your suprise is there.

About an hour of traveling to the destenation, he stopped in the middle of the forest, were it was bare. But the bare didn't look like grass, it instead was white. "Aniu, again!" He giggled to himself. Aniu strided infront of him and told him; I will intruduce you to your new pack members. Here they come. Assault whisped around and saw that his new pack mates were walking into the bare patch, one by one. The first one that walked in was a black female wolf, who looked rather large for a female. She had strapping deep lavender eyes that almost looked like it popped out of her black fur. She also had studded wristbands- who knows were she got those from. She looked really tough. Her name is Arashi. She will be warrior of your pack. Aniu told Assault. Next came a clumsy looking grey male wolf. He was just plain grey, but he had darker grey bangs almost covering his dark aqua blue eyes. That there is Kumotta. He will be an omega of your pack. Aniu told him. After that came another black female, but not as tough looking. She had a fuchsia coloured flower in her ear. Her fuchsia eyes stood out of her black fur. That female is Satira. She will be Delta. Two other male wolves came, one was reddish looking with the same eyes as Assault. That one is Crimson. He is Delta. Aniu said. The other was golden brown with a darker brown on his pelt. That one is Chairo. He is Beta. Aniu said. Another male walked up, he was red, but tiny bit of brown. He also had black, too. His name is Cyrus. He will be fighter of your pack. Aniu told him. Then, three more wolves came walking in. They were all females. Those are the last of them. That purpleish gray one there, is Murasaki, who is an omega. The orange-red one is Sage, she is omega. Finally, that dark brown one there is Sakira, she happens to be friends with Arashi. Aniu explained to him, then walked off. Oh, I forgot to mention, Sakira is a fighter. Then she disapered.

The next day...

"Hey, Assault!! Assault! Wake up!" Kumotta shouted in Assault's ear. "Ugh... be quiet, Kumotta! Im trying to sleep." Assault murmmered. Kumotta walked out of Assault's den, but not as asked. He came back with a hollow stick with berries in it. Then he blew into it, sending berries flying out the other end. The berries hit Assault. He woke up. "Alright, what are you doing this ti-" Before finishing his sentence, Kumotta was aiming berries into Assault's mouth. "Ok! Ok!! You got me! Now stop it!" He yelled while the berries were in his mouth. He swallowed them, but chocking on them because they were not chewed. "Oh, sorry" Kumotta laughed. "Wanna see something I did to Arashi?" He asked. Assault sighed happily. "Ok." Assault replied, then followed Kumotta out of the den.

He was led into the warrior den, to see Arashi crunched up in a ball, wincing in pain. But she had a look of annoyance on her face, and she had berry stains on her mouth. "Whoa, Arashi. What happened to you?" He asked. Arashi bared her teeth at Kumotta, then turned to Assault. "Kumotta... gave me too much berries. Now I'm drunk on them.." She said, and tried to get up to snap her teeth at Kumotta, but her berry filled stomach wouldn't budge. "Ha! So much for a brave warrior!" Kumotta teased. Arashi heard this, and she filled with rage. "What!? I'm still tough and strong! If only you hadn't stuffed my stomach with those revolting berries!!" She snapped at him. Arashi couldn't contain her madness. She then got up and bit Kumotta hard and he yiped and fell. "You get what you deserve." She rasped at him. Then she plopped down on her stomach. "Ooh.. could someone get me herbs? My stomach feels like rock!" Arashi said. "I'll get some for you." Assault replied, then walked out of the den. Arashi glared at Kumotta with her cold, mean eyes. Kumotta knew the punishment, and he rushed out of the den.

"Assault is taking so long.." Arashi murmmered. She was bored so she slid onto her back and looked at her heavy stomach. She rubbed it a bit. Just then, she heard Assault walk in. She perked her ears with joy.

"Well, here they are. Sorry I took so long." Assault said, and pushed the herbs over to her. In a flash, she had aten them up. "That should work." He assured her.

**************************************************************

That night...

Arashi was in her den, plotting revenge on Kumotta. "Ha! Take that, dirty scrap." She whispered. She knew her plan would work. And with that, she creeped out of the den.

Arashi was standing outside of the omega den. She creped in quietly, then scared Kumotta out of his skin. "AHH!! ARASHI!? WHAT-" Kumotta yelled. With no word, she started to drag him out of the den. Sage and Murasaki heard the racket, and woke up. They both exchanged confused glances and then went back to sleep.

Arashi was on the outskirts of the territory, but she had ment to wander off that far with Kumotta. "Hey Arashi! Were are we-" His sentence was cut off by Arashi's hard swipping near his mouth. Kumotta yiped. "You are going.." She said, then threw Kumotta in a calm, yet semi-cold river. "In there!" She finished. Then she ran off, laughing. There in the river was Kumotta, swimming helplessly.
 

**************************************************************************

Next morning...

Assault woke up, about to go hunt with Chairo, Arashi and the other Deltas and warriors when he noticed that Kumotta wasn't in the camp. He walked near the omega den. "Hey Sage, do you know were Kumotta went?" Assault asked. Sage walked up to him. "No, I haven't. All I heard last night was him being dragged off." She replied. "Arashi... she must have dragged him somewere!" Assault thought.

"Arashi, you dragged Kumotta off lastnight, didn't you." Assault told her. Arashi showed no signs of fear. "Well he stuffed me with berries! He deserved to get thrown in the river." She snapped. Assault stared. "Well gets go find him. Quikly now. Don't wanna be late for the hunt." He said. Then he led Arashi out of the den.

Arashi was following her scent from lastnight. Also, the scent of water was getting closer, but when they got to the small river, Kumotta was not in the water. "Arashi, what did you do!? Did he drown?" Assault asked in shock. "Pfft, why do you think Kumotta is-" Before finishing off, from the corner of her eye she saw Kumotta, all wet and cold curled up in a ball under a tree. Assault came running over. "Kumotta!! I'm so glad you are alive!" He exclaimed in relief. Arashi ignored him. Besides, the first time Arashi had been forced by Kumotta to eat a butt-load of berries, she hated him ever since. She was blown out of that thought when Assault told her to get hunting with the others.

Back at the camp, Kumotta was sent to the omega den with Murasaki and Sage. Sakira, Satire, Assault, Arashi and Chairo were going on a hunt for the morning's meal.

*****************************************************

At the hunting grounds...

While walking to the hunting grounds, Assault smelt something in the air. "Stranger wolf." He said. "Arashi, keep an eye out for him. You will not hunt for today, but you will keep an eye out for this male wolf." Arashi then
