Steven waved his tail, "She is" He pointed his nose briefly at Oak, "I'm giving him hunting lessons" He explained. He growled slightly, "So who are you?" He demanded.

"I believe I'm his . . . sister." She said, as Beku stood next to her. It was then that Oak realized the simalarity in their coats. The eyes were both blue, but different shades. Both had obsidian on their legs or paws. There was less chocolate on the females tail, just on the tip. Beku nodded.

"I remember part of her scent, its my mothers, I think. I barely remember her scent though, so I could be wrong. And I reckognize her coat partly as well. I know I had someone else by me when I was young, but I never knew who." He said sadly, looking at them with hopeful eyes.

Steven's eyes lit with suprise, he then noticed the similarities between the two's personalities as well, "Greetings" Steven dipped his head politely, "I'm Steven, and this," He waved his tail, "Is Oak, Beku's adopted mother"

The female, Genni, smiled at them.

"Hello. I have some news for him as well." She turned to the wolf beside her.

"Our mother is dead. She was killed by a loner, a month after you disappeared. Our father, well, you never knew him. He also disappeared, shortly before you did. I was forced into being a loner. I searched for you for a long time and only found you a couple days ago in that camp. I wanted to introduce myself today, but had to wait until you were out of the camp, alone. Most other packs drive me away and I leave once I am sure you don't live there." Genni sighed, and glanced around.

"Its been so long." Her voice was choked, full of emotion.

"Why do you care about finding him if you just let him leave you and his parents in the first place?" Steven growled. (Gotta go, sorry)

"I was asleep at the time! Our father had already left and my mother was hunting nearby. She didn't realize and I didn't know he had left until after I woke up!" A slight panic rose to her face as she wondered if these wolves would not allow her to be renunited with her brother.

"I need to talk with Oak, you and Beku stay here" Steven nodded, he and Oak padded into the bushes, "Do you think we should let her stay?" Steven glanced back to Genni, and growled slightly, "I mean, we don't actually know 100% that she's Beku's sister, any wolf could come along and say that!" Steven explained.

Beku watched the two leave, then glanced at Genni.

"So...how have you been?"

Oak followed Steven away from them a little ways.

"I don't know. Beku does seem to remember her, and she seemed pretty broken up when she was watching him and when she was trying to convince us that she is his sister. And it is true, she could easily be just a stray loner trying to find a place to stay for a while. Perhaps Beku is just so sad from losing his family as a pup that he is willing to believe anyone who says they are related." She sighed and shook her head.

"I can't really think of a way to prove if she is or isn't. Maybe we let her stay near the camp, not in it, and have her help us. Like she has to bring a certain amount of food and herbs for a while before we will even take her to the alpha. I mean, what loner would want to get into a pack so badly they would lie about being related to someone that they don't even know. Then bring food and herbs to the pack for a while before being given a chance in, but may not even be accepted. Why not just go up to the alpha and ask?" Oak turned towards the pair that was chatting a short distance away. She watched them for a moment, then looked back to Steven.

Steven nodded, "What you say is extremely reasonable Oak, so what do you think, should we go to the Alpha first, or have Genni stay outside camp and have her fetch things for us? they're both good plans" Steven agreed, pricking his ears to listen to the two.

"They seem to be more than as if they just met" Steven shrugged.

Oak thought for a moment.

"Well, I don't think Shadow would be very happy if we brought her in now. I think we should have her help us first. That way we an argue that she has been bringing food and such for the pack for a while. And Genni will be more likely to be let in." She pushed back through the bushes to see Beku explaining how he came to be adopted into the pack. Genni glanced at Steven.

"And before you say anything else, remember, I am closer related to him than you are. The only way for you to even somehow be related, is if you and her become mates." Genni said, pointing to Oak.

"Now say what you are going to say."
