Meadow followed her brothers lead and turned her snarl into a very low growl. She also lowered her tail slightly. Meadow smiled as the others said yes. "Im Meadow and this is my brother Hondo," Meadow said with a smile, her growl now gone. Meadow then sat down, showing they were no harm.

~~~~~

Anne looked over to her brother and nodded and then her brother said yes, they would like to join. Her brother then introduced themselves and Anne smiled. "Nice to meet you Hondo and Meadow. Humans brought us here. Is that what happened to you too?"

Hondo

Hondo looked at Anne. "Yes it happened to us too." He said, looking affectionately at Anne. "The humans released us not too long ago." He looked at Meadow. Then turned back to the newcomers, "How long have you been here?"

.

John

The black male with some grey markings looked at Meadow. She truly was a beautiful wolf. He snapped out of it. "We have been here a week or so, I wouldnt go north though, a huge pack is there, they are not friendly." He added in quickly. He started scratching at the radio collar around his neck.

Meadow nodded at what her brother said. She then smiled at her brother before turning back to the new members. She could tell the male liked her and to be honest he was handsome. "So, who should be alpha?" Meadow asked, knowing thats what was on everyone's mind.

Anne couldnt stop looking at Hondo but nodded at what her brother said. "They are very mean." She then turned to her brother, seeing what he would answer about Meadows question. Anne herself didnt mind but she wasnt sure about her brother. "I honestly dont care," Anne said with a half smile. She could feel the tentsion rise a bit so she scratched her side.

Hondo

"Well me and Meadow were here in this territory first so it should be me or her." He said, baring his teeth alittle at John. "Would you like to be Alpha or do you want me to?" He asked Meadow.

.

John

He felt a little annoyed at Hondo, they definitely were not going to get along. He had wanted to be Alpha but with Hondo he wouldn't. He looked at Meadow, awaiting her answer.

Meadow felt the tension rise as the males talked. She was shocked though as it ended up being her decision. She knew that no answer could make both happy. It was either make her brother happy, the one shes lived with her entire life with or someone she barely knew bu thought was cute. Meadow looked down at thw ground before looking at the two males and said, " Heres the deal. Me and Anne will make a test and whoever wins will be alpha along with their mate. Does that sound good?"

Anne felt the tension rise even more. She felt bad for Meadow though, having to choose between two males. Anne could tell Meadow was having a hard timw picking but Anne just stayed quiet. After a while though Meadow spoke up. Anne nodded in agreement to Meadows plan. "Thats a good idea Meadow!" Anne then looked at the males, hoping they would agree and they wouldnt fight.

Hondo stared at John for a long moment then looked at his sister. "Fine. Deal." He said. He wanted to be Alpha for his whole life, even his sister knew. But if John won this test then he would be Alpha. He hoped it wouldnt come down to it but Hondo would fight John for the Alpha role.

.

John knew Hondo wanted to be Alpha, you could look at him amd tell. But deep down John didnt want to take orders from him. He nodded at Meadow without saying a word.

Meadow let out a sigh and then her and Anne went to the side to talk. After a couple minutes the dou came back with a smile on their faces but Meadows faded as she remembered that this wasnt a game. "Follow us to your first test!" Anne said excitedly while Meadow just turned away and started to walk. Soon everyone was infront of a river. "Your first test is to cross this river without getting wet." Meadow said plainly while Anne still looked excited. The two females then sat down, waiting for one of the males to win. " Also whoever does it fastest wins if you both succeed in going across without getting wet." Meadow said, speaking again.

Hondo

He was told of the first test. Whoever got over the fastest without getting wet. The current was pretty strong, so he hoped he wouldnt fall in. He saw a dead tree that looked big enough to knock over. He ran over to it and body slammed it. It tottered but didn't move, he headbutted it, with a giant Crack it fell over into the river. A huge splash followed. Hondo raced across. He was going to win! Until he toppled headfirst into the fast flowing river.

.

John saw what Hondo was doing. They never said a set of rules. As soon as Hondo was racimg across the trunk he pushed him into the river. He continued across and got to the other bank. "I win!" He howled. "I am the new Alpha!"

Meadow finched each time Hondo hit the dead tree but she stayed still. She then watched as he was running across. She gasped as John hit Hondo into the river. She could feel anger rise within her but knew she had placed no rules. She got up and greeted Hondo as he waded out of the river. "Good try...." Meadow then watched Jonh cross the tree to get back but Meadow frowned. "You havent won yet. There are still more tests. But you did win this one however, so congrats."

Anne cheered as her brother pushed Hondo into the water. She then bounded up to him and tackled him to the ground. "That was amazing brother!" She then frowned a bit as Meadow spoke. "She is right though brother, but im sure you can still win!" She then got off her brother with a smile.

Hondo

He waded out of the river, freezing. He shivered as Meadow came up to him. Luckily the current wasnt that strong so he was able to swim out. He took an angry glance at John, then looked back at Meadow. "I can still win this thing."

.

John

Johm's tail wagged as Anne came to greet him. He got off the ground. "I will win." He smiled lookimg at his sister. "No matter what."
