Snow, he said over and over in his mind. He kinda liked that name. When the white pelted female brushed passed him his smile faded away. "Woah, woah, woah." He said, running in front of her to stop her. "You need rest. Your not leaving." He said, worry and authority in his voice.

Snow stopped from Hondo standing in front of her. She gave a low growl from him, as the authority in his voice went over her head. River gave a small whine as she tucks herself. Snow gently put her pup down between her paws. "I am leaving with or without your permission." Her hackles were now raised as she continues with the low growling.

Hondo could tell Snow had never met a pack before, bevause she wouldnt be treating an Alpha like this. Hondo took in a deep breath and exhaled, calming himself down. If she wanted to be difficult, then she was going to be difficult. "I dont think you heard me clearly." He said with a sigh. "You aren't leaving until you rest up. Do I need to repeat myself?" He said, sounding like a father scolding his pup. "Krios and Kronos get over here right now." The two Warriors came over in delight, wrestling and playing on the way over. They had just become Warriors, but still were acting like apprentices. "Please take Snow and her pup Willow to my Alpha den, and stand guard. Under no circumstances are they allowed out of camp. Whereever she goes." He said emphazing Snow, "You accompany her." He turned back to Snow. "I didnt want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Off you go." The twins stayed on both sides of Snow as the started to walk off. Hondo had a sad gaze in his eyes, as he watched the mother and pup go.

Snow gave a tiny growled from being forced to stay. She heard Hondo speaking to her which ticked her off even more. Then seeing two wolves coming over to her from the words out of Hondo. She snapped at them, as she was forced to walk towards a den. Her fur was still raised as she has her pup in front of her. Her head was low to the ground as her growling got louder, when the two wolves got to a den, she rushed River inside as she bite into one of the males. River just obeyed her mother as they both went into a far corner. River laid down curling up as Snow stayed standing in front of her pup. She was not happy.

The female bit into Kronos' side, making him growl in rage, before she went into the den, he clawed her side drawing blood. "Touch me again, and I'll rip you to shreds." He growled, loud enough for even Hondo to hear. "Stupid loners." He said under his breath but loud enough for Snow and River to hear. He sat in his position in front of the den, his reddish brown pelt blowing in the slight breeze.

.

Hondo heard what Kronos said. He let out a sigh as he shook his head. Snow knew nothing. She didnt know he was the leader of the pack. His word was law, yet she disobeyed. Injuried she attacked Kronos. Was she looking for a fight? Or to die? But no matter what Hondo thought, he would always see those pretty eyes and her pure white pelt. A sense of longing fell over him. He felt somethung for this wolf. But she felt nothing for him.

Snow finally felt a sting on her side as she growled at the male hearing him. "Then let us go, you damn know it all prick!" She only knows loners laws not pack laws. Loners or Rogues are two different fractions in the wild without a pack. Loners stay away from Rogues and Packs alike. Rogues are either kicked or exiled out of their pack. River's father is a Rogue. She begins to pace, limping again and more hurting. Growling and whimpering at the sametime as she doesn't feel safe near other wolves besides her daughter. Her bloodline is full of loners, the males leave while the females take care of their pup or pups. That's her backstory is like, there's no play time or anything like a Pack, just survival instincts and being without laws which makes Loners and Rogues th same mindsets which is feral. River is sleeping soundless, not hearing the male wolf, Kronos say anything. Snow turned to her side as she licks and clean the claw mark that the male wolf gave her when she bit him. She needs to leave before He finds her and her pup with the Rogues that He collected a made His own pack of Rogues.

Hondo shook his head. He had to rid himself of those thoughts. He saw Kronos muttering under his breath. Hondo ran up to his den. There was a nasty bite wound on Kronos' side. "You go get that taken care of." He said to Kronos. The Warrior bowed his head and trotted off to the medics den. "Krios, stand off, private conversation." He said. Krios nodded obediently, and went off to the medics den after his brother. Hondo walked into his den, brushing past the moss. He saw Snow in the corner, River asleep at her side. "Snow." He said as he walked up to her. "We dont want to hurt you. But you cant go off and attack my pack members." He let out a sigh. "We only want to help you." He looked around the wall, at all the paw prints on the previous Alpha's. He knew his would go up there one day. But he had until next full moon to find a mate, or it would never happen. "But if you dont want our help, out hospitality, then you can leave." He said, moving off to the side, allowing her to go through. But his sad gaze lingered, staring deep into her eyes.

Snow heard movements at the entrance of the den as she looks up from her trance seeing Hondo. She sighs deeply from what the male wolf stated. She took a quick look at her pup sleeping. Deep down she knows that River needs this. "Sorry. About attacking your pack member. We can't stay here...or else he'll find us." As she bows her head seeing Hondo moving to the side, as she heard what he said when he was done talking. Whimpering a little as she turns her head to pick up her sleeping pup, before slowly moving past Hondo with her tail tucked between her legs, her ears pinned in submissive not showing her aggressive nature to Hondo.

Hondo watched them move to the front of the den. His heart dropped, clearly after all he'd done for them, they still had no trust in him. When she said, he'll find us, he made a move towards the front of the den. "Who's he?" He asked, anger billowing up inside him. So this is the reason she could never trust someone. This other wolf. "I can assure you he wont find you here. You are safe here with me. He wont lay a paw on you or River, but I cannot protect you outside my borders, not with two rival packs nearby." He finished. Looking at her with pleading eyes. Trust me they seemed to be pleading.

Snow stopped when Hondo got in front of him. She gently set River down against her paws as she looks into Hondos eyes. "River's father. That's who." As she sees the plead in his eyes before picking River up as she turns back into the den, flickering her tail from his words in accepting. Putting her pup down as she lays down, curling around her pup. Before she continues. "You don't understand. He's not a loner, he's a rogue."
