If Winter's Breath was born into any other pair's litter, she could have lead a normal life. That was what she though when she woke up next to Alpha Bobcat's Might. Her father. Groaning she crawled out of the den, wishing she had slept outside with the omegas. At lest then she would not have this stitch in her side. Omega Dawn's light was up, snuffling in the old rabbit from last night. As soon as she saw Winter, the rabbit moved so fast it almost flew to Winter's paws.

"No, no. Eat it." Winter said "I can go hunt my own."

"Are you sure, Beta Winter's breath?" Dawn stammered.

"Yes." A beta's words can only be opposed by an Alpha.

'If only she was born into another pair.' Winter thought again.

A few minutes and miles later...

Winter was running full out after a rabbit. She would have preferred something different, but food was food. Working for her food made Winter feel alive. The wide grass land that was boarded by the forest was an amazing hunting ground.

For generations, Lynx's fury Pack was open aired and open skied wolves. They were named two names because of the two realms they believed in, the living and the hunting grounds in the sky.

-

The rabbit was deliciously fresh. Winter dislike the brisk air. It was like the weather could not make up its mind to be warm or cold. Even the geese hated it, having left about a month ago. At least with the cold weather, she is able to camouflage with her surroundings. Winter wishes she should go back home, but old squirrel will not feed a hungry wolf pack.

-

Her nose picked up on so many scents. There was elk sent, though she vowed never to hunt elk, in remembrance of her brother. Closer to the trees was a new sent. Crisp and sweet, like a pine forest. How could that be, the nearest pines were 7 miles north, a long the border. Winter decided to go investigate.

-

The pack border was a river, fast and wide. There was only one way across, a fallen tree. There was something, or someone, gleaming through the spray.

I always post about half way through to save my progress. Just in case I have to leave. I also can't post after 8:30 game time(9:30 my time).

The morning sun started to rise shining down on the blanketed earth of snow. The tiny flakes shining in the sun with crystal like twinkles. Alpine slept buried deep into his rest, the cold winter made him a deep sleeper. Sleeping kept the bitter, frost out from his fur. Snoring lightly sun started to seep into his den shining a ray directly into his eyes. Groaning he shifted scuffing moss and rabbit fur into his pelt. His fur was getting messed up in the process tangling up in mats. More sun started to shine in allowing icy, cold air to whoosh in. He tried curling up more, tail over his nose, but one final gush of air and he was awakening. His eyes slowly blinked open, sleep drawing away from them. Blurrily he looked around, some snow had fell in through his den entrance. "Oh great, another cold morning.." He thought to himself bitterly. His gaze locked onto the sunrise, the beautiful hues of orange blending with the dark purples. Like a painting from nature, something so elegant and special. He managed to lift a smirk as he slowly gathered all his will pushing himself up and off the ground into a sitting position. Sighing he adjusted to the cold, his fur protecting him from the numb embrace of the winter month. His ears twitched as he looked around, his sister had already woken up by the looks. Left alone in the now cold den he got up standing with a long yawn. He stretched front paws slipping outward as his back arched, bones cracking and awaking. With a huff his eyes rested sleepily one of his grumpy looks again. After stretching he exited the den embracing the real cold blast on icy air. His ears being bitten at by the freezing temperatures.

.

Eyes adjusting to his bright surroundings he looked around his pack up to their normal duties. Before he knew it his mother was already beside him giving rough licks around the mats of his fur. "Good morning to you to." Alpine joked sitting down and nuzzling his mother. No matter how old he got he would forever embrace the love of his mother. The feeling of being a pup again always comforted him in rough times. As soon as his mother finished grooming him she looked back up, "Good morning Prince Charming." She chuckled resting her head on his shoulder and giving him rasp licks behind his ear. He rolled his eyes before greeting her back with the same licks. "Is father in a bad mood this morning?" Alpine asked wearily. His mother gave him a look, the look of, "Don't be so rude." But soon she answered back, "Hes doing fine, just a couple cranky remarks." His mother chuckled the tension off. Alpine hated his father with a passion and his mother knew that. "I'd better go check on him, go find your sister." His mother mentioned before disappearing off in the camp. Sighing once more he got up and wandered off to find his sister. His pack members gave him nods of respect as he walked past them.

.

He found his sister nose into the ground pawing at a voles den, he never understood his sister. "Boo, doofus what are you doing?" Alpine woofed with a snarly tone. His sister in response jumped a foot into the air almost. "Ah!!" She shrieked defensively turning around to see him. Willow let out a sigh of relief to see him, "You scared me." She mumbled in a soft tone. His sister wasn't exactly social or active. "I was just checking on you." Alpine nuzzled her closely giving his best of affection. Willow stared at the ground, "Oh okay..." She stammered again. He opened his maw to speak again till he heard the squeaky irritating voice of Halo, the she-wolf who everyone knew had a crush on him. "What are y'all doing!!" The she wolf yipped bounding into Alpine with an affectionate nudge. Alpine let out a huff and turned his gaze to her, "Nothing, I was just checking on her, do you need something?" He asked irritatingly at Halo. She was a fully white she wolf with a pink skin color and red-pink eyes. She was an odd one. "Oh, I wanted to hang out with you!" She giggled and got really close to him again. Without hesitation he pushed her off and barked, "Tag your it!" Then Alpine sprinted off into the dark pine forest. After several miniutes of running he had lost her.

.

He sighed in relief ending up at a small pond surrounded by a canopy of trees and bushes. Panting he started drinking from the pond at a rapid speed. He was just glad to get away from Halo. She was so annoying and clingy, why couldn't she just get a hint that he didn't like her. After he took a long drink he lied down in the snow thinking about life. He was glad his father hadn't greeted him this morning. His father was so determined to beat him into shape to be alpha one day. But what if he didn't want to be alpha one day? What if he wanted his own pack or to be free? Sighing he stared into the crystal clear water. After some time, witch felt like hours he sat up eyes set on adventure. He got off his paws and started racing off toward the rival packs border. Why not have some fun? There was no hesitation in his run, he just kept running, past where most go. Till he was met with the sharp breeze of the rival packs markings. It was a long tree trunk across a river into their territory. The breeze brought the scent and stench of their harsh markings. There was a heavy fog with a spray of humidity between the ravine with canopy's of trees hanging over the borders. His ears twitch as he squinted his eyes. A silhouette of something could be seen. He cursed at himself, "Fox dung, what if it's their alpha marking the border. I'm in deep trouble then." With no hesitation he spoke up, "Whose there?!" He barked out not letting any fear or weakness be felt in his voice. His tail stood up confidently as he squinted trying to make out what or who was standing there.

Don't be intimidated by my massive post OwO

The thing on the other side of the river moved. And the 'thing' was a 'someone'. 'Oh no, no, no, nonononono' Winter mumbles under her breath. What if it was the Raven's Glacier Pack Alpha. Or alphas. She would be in trouble. Thankfully the rushing water made sure the murmurer could not be heard.

-

"Whose there?!" Said a confidant, masculine voice.

Winter hesitated, taking a deep breath and replied.

"It's me, Beta Winter's Breath, of Pack Lynx's Fury" She sounded stern. She liked that.

"Come out where I can see you."

-

She held her ears alert and her tail as confidant as possible. Winter did not need this male to boss her around. She's a Beta. A quick ear twitch made sure her feathers were still in her ear and readily see-able. She stepped into the sunlight, trying to look mad.

Alpine bared his fangs, "Beta? Isn't the beta the alpha's daughter?" Alpine thought, "She was fairly young at the last pack meetings of the moon. About a year younger than me. They announced that she would be the pack's beta. She shouldn't be that much of a problem." He assured himself before stepping over onto the wooded log. With no hesitation he smoothly passed over the log. Breaking through the fog eyes landing on the smaller wolf. He looked down at her a smirk on his face, "Aren't you a bit small to be a beta?" Alpine spoke out teasingly. He took glances at the white wolf, the way she shaped out. Alpine had to admit, if this tiny she-wolf could become beta that's pretty impressive.

"I'm not!" Winter say with determination.

"Who are you, an omega?"

A growl rises ever so slightly in the back of Winter's thought.

-

Sorry for the small post, It is the middle of a conversation.

Alpine sat down on his haunches tail thumping the ground with amusement. "I'm the alpha's son, the heir, or prince to the throne. Whatever way you want to call it. I'll assure you though, I'm no omega. You think I could be an omega? I mean look at me, I'm a healthy, young, strong male. An omega would be weakly, undersized, sickly, kinda like you." He snarly mentioned whilst staring down at the feisty she-wolf.

(Sorry for my short posts, I'm running on writers block, but the only way to rid writers block is to keep writing :3 )

*GRRRR*

"I'm Beta Winter, daughter of Alpha Bobcat. If you know what is right, you will stand down." Winter raises her hackles and tries to stand taller.

Alpine raised his eyebrow, "Oh please calm down pretty lady, I don't mean no harm." His soothing voice charmingly eased her. "Really though calm down, I didn't mean it like that." Chuckling he licked his shoulder fur making them lie flat.

"Alright, but really, what are you doing so close?" Winter said as she sat down and looked this wolf dead in the eyes."You never gave me your name."

"I'm Alpine, I was just wondering around. You know just tension in the pack." He explained eyes drawing off her and staring up at the sky. "What are you doing out so far from home?" Alpine asked curiously as he focused back on her.
