As Deteste reached the end of his circuit he decided to sit and rest awhile before returning to his duties at home. Though he was in no way bitter regarding Laxago's condition he was not exactly eager to attend to that melancholy environment. Deteste sat with a centered posture watching the amber rays that glowed gently between the trees begin to fade. His slightly labored breaths slowed and once cooled his jaws closed and Deteste entered a state of alertness in the method of continuing his patrol through other means. A cool breeze snaked through the mangroves, tugging backwardly at Deteste's shaggy, coal fur. Since he had joined the Ludicael he had been able to take better care of himself. His long days of traveling were over and the calories that had been burnt in the great distances he covered now settled on his wiry muscles returning to Deteste the build and physical capabilities he had had in his youth. But now he was older and that strength was fatally paired with his experience and intelligence. In the fading sunlight Deteste looked much older beyond his years. The many scars that crossed his body where chalky and more evident in the angled sunlight, his thick fur did little to hide his tattered right ear.


A disturbance in the woodland drew Deteste from his thoughtless but alert state of mind. He sensed no deviation in the scents around him but he was aware that the wind was not blowing in his favor. Deteste rose to his feet and turned in the direction of the movement he had sensed. He had spent long years as an assassin and was sensitive even to minute details in his surroundings. Calculating that an enemy would not so bold or so interested in a scout Deteste retained his calm affect. The sandy pelt of his counterpart did little to camoflage her against the dark wooded mangroves and as her bark formed, Deteste side stepped playfully in response to her lunge. Though Deteste had decided to play along with the stranger he was still unsure of her identity and he took this with a grain of salt as he had purposefully avoided contact with other members of the Ludicael.


I don't believe we have properly met. The girl's comment and tone confirmed that she was a pack member. Deteste watched her carefully in order to understand her affect. Her body language could have been understood as narcicism but her superior method of carrying herself implied rank. Deteste dipped his crown dutifully and addressed the comment after producing a relaxed chuckle. We have not. My name is Deteste. This was the first time in years that Deteste had introduced himself using his full name and he was whip - lashed by the slip with surprise, hesitation and dread. It was the name that had been given to him in the gang he had associated with as a youth and it's meaning did not carry well. Since he had left the lifestyle he had introduced himself only as De, for he could not find it in himself to seek another name. Greetings Loves Deteste's head turned sharply in Jupiter's direction. Though their interactions had been few and short he recognized her immediately. In scent and voice. Jupiter's presence quickly snappped Deteste out of his thoughts. He dipped his crown a second time, lower and more gracefully in respect of the Sol. Hello my Sol he spoke the timbre of his deep voice as nearly knightly.


our beta. So this was the rank of the sandy wolf beside him. Aria. Deteste, with some hesitation but without allowing the hesitation to show, turned again to the maiden and watched her curiously. She was certainly a friendly and playful character. Deteste again returned his focus to Jupiter, who in the moonlight that now filtered through the canopy above glowed in an excellent vermillion orange. In this observance Deteste notice something else. Swelling. Jupiter was clearly not overweight but appeared as if she could be sick. But she was not. Deteste's nose unwittingly wavered in the alpha's direction and in the final part of his investigation he found his answer. She was pregnant. Deteste was unsure what to think of this. He was filled with many sudden and contradicting emotions. At first he felt a great desire to protect Jupiter and her growing children but the feeling was quickly twisted by a sense of disappointment that he did not understand. What did he expect, he tried to ask himself, and why did it matter if Jupiter was... with a mate? He had Laxago and she was more than enough to take up his time. Deteste cleared his throat as if the action would clear his thoughts as well but it didn't work. Though his reaction was still mixed, the overwhelming emotion was the desire to protect Jupiter and her children and in an attempt to free himself of the confusing he tried to focus on that specific feeling.
