" Oh I'll come back, little one. Trust me on that" Em said glaring at him " But I cant get back to my territorry with out a little fun. My pelt? Ha. the best pelt in all of the territory? What you gonna do something with it if you kill me? I doubt that"

She gave a wolfy grin before running at him and tackled him " like I said, cant leave without a little fun" she bared her teeth at him, holding him down with her powerful paws.

Mikael stared up at her before trying to free himself. She had powerful paws, just like Clay, which would always be Mikael's achilles' heel. He didn't want to bite her and draw blood, in the fear that she would be able to kill him in seconds, so instead he tried to free himself from her and get some space. Despite his efforts, the female was able to keep him pinned. I can't believe this; I'm being pinned down by a stranger! If Clay ever finds out about this, I will never hear the end of it. Mikael twisted his body and tried to shove her off, but it was clear she had more experience than him in wrestling, because even though he was able to free himself for the moment, the Alpha was able to pin him down once again.

" I will let you go, only if you dont tell this to your Alpha. If you do, I'll hurt you much much more than this" Em said releasing her weight from him and stood back I cant believe it... I attacked without killing him." I will be back, though. I have to hunt before heading back to my territory. "

She heared a howl and howlwe dback in responce. She knew it was her Alpha getting mad. " You tell your Alpha, and you wont last" she gave him one more glare before running off past him to hunt the deer.

As the female ran past him, Mikael was incredibly inflicted. I don't doubt her words, but... I can't keep a secret from my Alpha... can I? He had no idea what to do now; he knew that he had to tell Hunter and Daria about this encounter, or risk punishment, but would it be as whatever the female had in mind for him? Mikael pushed it to one side and finished his patrol before heading back home. Clay was sitting outside and met up with Mikael. "Hey Mikael? Did you bump into anyone else on the remainder of your patrol?" Mikael opened his mouth, but stopped himself from spilling the beans about his second encounter, instead saying he didn't find anything else of note, deciding to keep the second encounter a secret. Clay nodded and Mikael walked up to the two Alphas and gave his report to them as well, adn when he was asked specifically about whether or not he saw the Alpha Female again, he quickly denied. Content with the report, Hunter dismissed Mikael, who went ot his own little area to begin having a nervous breakdown. My fate is now sealed: if they ever find out that I was lying to them, then I might as well have let that female kill me. He buried his head underneath his paws and sighed, not truly understanding what he was getting into.

Money ran off to get the carcass for Lilac before going right through the enemies territory once more. I should have told him not to tell. He has every right to. she thought as she finally reached her pack an hour later. Lilac was waiting for her in the den.

" I have your carcass, Lilac" She said, head down and ears pinned back.

" Good-" he said before sniffing the air " What is that smell? Another wolf? A male perhaps?" he questioned his mate.

" Yes Alpha.. but it was a youngling..I took care of him." She said laying down as he headed out to go eat.

I must go back and face his pack members if I want my pack to survive she though, placing her head on her paws and waited for darkness to come. She refused to eat the meal she brought.

Mikael left the Hearts home when darkness came, feeling his nerves fray after Clay asked a few too many questions about his patrol. I just need to go out on a walk and get some air. Everything will be fine; I just need to clear my head. Eventually he found a lake and stopped there to drink some water. After getting his fill he looked at his own reflection. Oh Mikael, what have you gotten yourself into? He splashed his reflection and scattered it before looking up at the moon. Hunter is going to kill me if he finds out that I let the female go. Shaking his head, he continued walking through the Hearts' territory, eventually picking up the scent of a rabbit. Switching gears, he began chasing after the scent, eventually finding the rabbit and chasing it down before killing it. Grabbing the rabbit, Mikael began walking back towards home, figuring Makayla could use the food so she could feed her hungry pups.

By the time she thought it was dark enough, she left he safety of the ALpha's den and headed back into the HEarts territory. She had to do what was right int he eyes of an Alpha, even if it meant to loose a fight. I have to do this. she reminded herself as he crossed the border. She kept walking when she spotted fresh blood on the ground Rabbit.. she thought " Which means... someone was here to eat befre heading back to the den" she said as she followed the smell. But then she paused. Her eyes on the one she met that morning.

Mikael continued to walk with the rabbit in his mouth until he had to stop to get a better grip on the rabbit so it didn't fall out of his mouth, but while he was doing that he heard something move from behind him. He turned around and spotted the female, making this the third time today he's encountered her. What is this luck? Is she intentionally trying to meet me now? Dropping the rabbit, Mikael looked up and stared at the Alpha. "This is the third time we've met today, and you're much deeper into our territory than the previous two times. Why are you here this time?" He took a step forward, ignoring the dead rabbit and staring at the female.

Em sat on her haunches " For reasons me to know and you to find out" she said gently. " I know I was rude to you... I didnt meant to attach you like I did.." she apolgized sincerilly before looking towards the rabbit then back at him " im Em. I wanted to make things right. It only would make things fair if you took me to your Alpha and he and I could talk it out. " SHe knew it wouldnt end well.. but she was willing to try " Plus.. you could use some training, little one." she chuckled as she stood back up. " I will propose something to your Alpha."

Mikael wasn't sure about Em. In their last encounter she was ready to fight and pinned him down in a impromptu wrestling scrap, but now she wants to talk to his Alpha about something. She can't be serious... or is she? With a sigh, Mikael slowly nodded and told her to stay right there. "Sorry but I don't trust you enough to bring you to our home. Mikael sprinted back home and woke up Hunter, who apparently was having a good dream. "What do you want?" Hunter asked him, still half-asleep. Mikael told him about Em and he snapped awake. "You found her in our territory... for a third time?" "Well, she kinda found me, but that's beside the point. She wants to talk to you about something, apparently." Hunter chruned it over in his head and he woke up Daria and told her the news. "You're in charge until I get back." She nodded and Hunter followed Mikael back to Em. Hunter layed eyes on the invading Alpha Female for the first time with disdain. "You have considerable bravery to ask for an audience with me this far into my territory. What do you wish to speak to me about?" Hunter asked Em, sitting down, ready for a discussion with another Alpha.
