As the fight ended, Inaya accepted Snow's dominance over the pack, convincec that he could lead them safely and much better than the alpha in her previous pack had. She turned and looked at the necomer and sniffed, memorizing her scent. She stood up from sitting.
"I will join you, Snow." She looked around to see if anyone else would follow and at the newcomer, wondering where she had come from. Inaya wagged her tail, happy to have a new pack. Hopefully, this time, one she could count on.

Tsuki walked up to Snowcap and wagged her tail to show that she was willing to follow him into the forest. She turned to look at the newcomer to see whether she would follow too.

Kanti was glad that the fight hadn't gotten nasty and no blood had been drawn. She wagged her tail as Snowcap spoke to the wolves, he would in her opinion make a good alpha to this pack Nootau had accepted defeat sensibly and she admired him for this. She suddenly felt all eyes on her after they had all answered the new alphas question. The she wolf gave a friendly whimper, took a step forward and continued wagging her tail as she spoke for the first time.
“Yes, I would be proud to join this new pack” Kanti said in a kind and calm sort of voice.

Nootau stood, his tail held low about his hind legs like that of everyone elses' yet wagging briskly, lowers his ears again in respect. "I'd be honored!" he says, tongue showing in his joy as he took up his position behind his new leader. He then turned and greeted everyone with formal nape-sniffs and nose-sniffs.

Snowcap puffed out his chest in pride. He surveyed the various wolves of his pack, then padded over to meet them. He mingled with his pack-mates, sniffing their maws and necks with interest. Once he knew all of their names and corresponding scents, he stood next to Nootau silently, flicking his tail to cause silence amidst the excited canines.
"As Alpha," he began, "I would like to name this pack. Does anyone have any ideas?" His golden eyes looked at each of the wolves in turn eagerly, hoping they had a suggestion. Snowcap sat, relaxed and happy.

Nootau tilted his head, and looked up at the roof of trees over their heads.
"I don't think we need a name until we have land to call our own. When we move away from the loners' lands... I'm Nootau by the way.." It was only then he had announced his name to the others, as if he had just decided it was neccessary.
He yawns widely, then stares at the others,

Snowcap thought about Nootau's suggestion for a moment in deep thought, then nodded in approval.
"That is wise," he stated, "I propose a hunt, then a search for lands. I'm sure that we can find land here varied enough to suit our needs, as well as our prey's. If we are lucky, we'll find a territory with plenty of water, forests, and fields." Snowcap paused, his eyes swimming in golden yellow. He stepped forward.
"First let us track that moose Tsuki scented. I can smell your hunger, and it would be a bonding experience to hunt together. I would like to get to know you. Plus, my legs are stiff. We can all stretch out this way." Snowcap arched his back and pushed his forelegs in front of him, lettting his sore muscles stretch themselves into more comfortable positions.
Then the white male looked to his beta for clues on hunting strategies.

Anthoro nodded, intrigued by the thought of exploring. He also agreed, as hunger was gnawing at his belly. He scented the air, the mingling scent of wolves comforting him. He stretched his legs, enrgy coursing through him.
"So, when do we set off?" Anthoro asked, looking from Alpha to Beta.

Nootau paused, thinking of the next hunt.
"Soon, I smell the moose too, but I believe it's a lone male one, they've got those antlers.. they don't have them in the winter though. I think there's a yearling moose there too, though, they haven't more than stubs, it's going to be maybe an hour walk."
Nootau nipped at a flea on his shoulder, then stands up.

Tsuki scratched her ear thoughtfully. She hadnt eaten a proper meal in weeks but had been feeding off smaller mammals.She got up and walked over to Snowcap and wagged her tail in a friendly manner.
"That moose i was tracking smelt like a young one. It had been injured by another carnivore. I think perhaps a cougar so it may be easier to take down with a pack of us."
She whined slightly.
"Itll be great to finnally have a proper feast"

Snowcap nodded.
"Yes, I believe that we should hunt the yearling. I've had many close encounters with adult males, and they are dangerous creatures. We're lucky to have your nose, Tsuki." Snowcap winked at the white she-wolf, then turned to Nootau curiously. "I say that we run for the first mile. After that, we should be able to split off into groups and surround the moose. From there we will sneak up to him, closing off his routes for escape." The white wolf got closer to his pack-mates, calling for a close meeting.
"Tsuki and Kanti, I would like you to be a pair. You will come around to the yearling's left flank. Inaya and Anthoro, you will do the same, only on the right. Nootau will take the rear, and I will take the throat." He paused, thinking of the warm blood that he would soon taste, though it would stain his pure white coat. "It will be a team effort, but we will definitely be able to take him down. Shall we start?"
Snowcap stood tall and ready, fluffing out his thick coat. He surveyed his pack, hoping that they were well ready for the hunt.

Tsuki wagged her tail as Snowcap complimented her. She liked Snowcap. He seemed like a fine leader. She barked slightly to show that she was ready to hunt.

Anthoro nodded, looking to Inaya. He licked his lips, thinking of the meat that would soon line his belly. He pawed the ground, anxious to be off and running.

Snowcap flicked his ears towards the northern forest, listening to the slight breeze. He sniffed the air, and caught the moose's scent.
"Try to follow my instructions, but I trust that your instincts are well enough to guide you. Let us run." With that, Snowcap sprinted off into the woods, heading north towards his next meal.
