Motif did not need to wait before her opponent, Alpha, and brother was before her, all rolled into one. Without speaking he made his way towards her until they stood face to face before he rested his head above the top of her own. Neither of them spoke for a moment and Motif found her eyes flitting closed until she was breathing in the scent of him and nothing else, an oddly peaceful moment that she would have given anything for to share every day with her brother, this little sign of respect and love.



Her eyes would open to the feel of his soft touch against her cheek and before she knew it he had moved away. She made no words of teasing today since she also felt the gravity of the moment and was in awe of the power and knowledge she could feel in his gaze and stance as he stood before her. She didn't look like her brother, not the Bass she knew who would roll in the grace or splash in the waves with her, who would as readily stick his tongue out at her as he was to playfully swipe with a paw ? not, there was not of that, and the man that stood before her today was her Alpha.

His words where as equally serious as his stance and she found herself listening carefully to his words, before she knew it her eyes where alive, sparkling with the unshed tears that stood just behind her lids. ?I swear to you Bass, if I show myself capable of protecting and caring for your pack after this day, that I will uphold its laws and beliefs for as long as there is breath in my body? she whispered, there was no joke in her tone, not now.



She took a few steps back from Bass and took in one last look of his face before closing off her mind to her brother ? she knew that proving herself worthy was more important today then protecting her brother ? even from herself, attacks will be landed and blood will be spilt, and it would be her honour to do so. She settled herself now and began the familiar moves of setting up her defences. Her paws would be spread in balance beneath her, and her toes would spread out as her claws dug into the earth for traction. Her tail would flay out behind her and her head would lower to align with her spine, her muscles would tense and lock beneath her. Her hackles would raise and her shoulders rolled forward to protect her neck. She would partly close her eyes to protect them. Her teeth would be bared even as she tucked her her chin ? she was ready.
