Trouble on the horizon

The call from Cattail Creek reaches Haydée as she lounges by the waterfall of their home. Fear immediately squeezes her heart, stealing away her breath for a moment as she hears Lucette summon the combatants of the pack to her. Without hesitating, the girl is up, small legs churning franticly as she races to where her sister is, ready to fight tooth and claw to keep her sibling safe. Her mind starts plays tricks on her as she makes her way through the thick underbrush, flashing images of her deceased father’s mutilated corpse before her eyes like some grotesque photograph but replaces his body with that of Lucette.

Haydée arrives just in time to hear Bae-Syl growl his words at the stranger and she slows her frantic pace as she approaches from behind her pack mates. Green eyes observe the stranger, noticing the horrible scars and lack of eye on one side of his face and he seems, unphased by their appearance. While it is true that the male is trespassing, Ethne is meant to be a haven for all the misfits in the world… and something tells her to speak before passing judgment just yet. As she comes up from behind Bae-Syl and Lucette, the girl briefly rubs her form against them to draw their eyes to her. With a small, almost imperceptible shake of her skull, the girl signals for them to stand down and allow her to handle this.

With a friendly smile on her lips, the Leader moves forward, carefully placing her small form between the unknown wolf and her pack members. Confidently, Hay calls out, “Excuse me, sir. You find yourself within the borders of the pack known as Ethne. If you mean us no harm than you are welcome to have a friendly chat with us. However, if you have any ill intent, know that we will escort you forcefully these lands.” A hardness enters her gaze as she speaks of removing them since she is more than willing to protect her sister and her sister’s mate with her life. The hardness gives way to curiosity as she gives them a small dip of her head and says, “I am Haydée Kedieo, Leader of Ethne. Now, what is this about?”
