Shadow got to the north border with no trouble but with the same results. The claw marks were definitely wolf, and not of the same wolf. Shaking his head, he clawed his mark on there before heading towards the town. His border went all around the town but there was a wild dog rogue on the other side. He was friends with him and sometimes they would hunt, maybe he knew what was going on.

Hail cought some fish and ate some with Jack keeping aware that the hunters were still around

Shadow slowly went through town seeing a dog sled team go out. Sprinting up a slope, he looked down on the town before running to his border. Finding the same thing, he growled before hearing a voice from the trees, "I was wondering where you went." A black and grey husky came out from the trees. "I haven't been gone that long." Shadow said to him chuckling.

Hail heard a twig crack then she turned around growling seeing a wolf in the distance that was not shadow

"Did someone take my territory when I was gone?" Shadow asked, annoyed. "Yes, actually. I have only seen 2 but I'm pretty sure there are like 4 wolves in your territory now." Storm said, letting out a small growl, "And they are not the friendliest. They threatened to take mine too." Shadow growled before turning back to his territory.

Hail stood in front of Jack growling at the mle wolf the three others joined him

Shadow turned back to Storm. "I have recently started a pack of my own. It's small but it can grow. Would you like to join Storm?" Storm's jaw gaped open before he stammered, "D-Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to say that?! Of course Shadow Hawk. We can combine the territories too. It might be big but hey, we are growing right?" Shadow grinned before nuzzling his old friend, "Then let's get back to Hail and Jack. Former sled dog and pup. You should fit right in." They both chuckled at that before starting back towards Shadow's territory.

The wolves got close growling Hail was about to pounce on one because they were getting close

Shadow and Storm went through the town and were almost to the other side when Storm said, "Wait, I have a friend who has wanted a pack since she went to the pound. Wait here." Storm bounded into the streets coming back a couple moments later with a white Alaskan Malamute. "This is Frost. She wanted to join me as a lone dog if she couldn't find a pack." Shadow dipped his head, "Nice to meet you Frost, Welcome to this pack." Frost dipped her head back before saying, "Glad to be here." Gesturing with his head, Shadow started into the forest with Storm and Frost at his heels.

Hail stepped into the water and jack swam to the other side quietly and into the cave to the small tunnel and hide Hail was about to attack
