With a loud grunt, the male hurtled into the cold mountain water with a rather large splash. He did not make an effort to get up, and his eyes were shut tight and his breathing shallow.
Galaxius felt a hitch in his throat as he saw the unmoving wolf in the stream, Nova standing over him in a dominant manner. He smirked to himself over her disposition; she was gentle and kind but could pack quite a pounce if given the opportunity. Her bite could have been nasty too, if one allowed her to grow so angry. Shaking his head he relaxed his body and leaned more against the tree, its bark rough but not uncomfortable. It was all he could do to wait out the ending to this initiation fight.

Nova's concentration broke as Vesper gave a loud grunt but then made no move to get up and his breathing was shallow. Her brow creased and she bent her head slightly as she observed the black and red male, "Vesper?" She cooed, Cocking her head to the side she stepped into the river to get a closer look at him.
Hoku froze, Her brow creasing at the same time as Nova's did, She was itching to get up and push her alpha away from her crush. She stiffened as she was his breathing was shallow, "Scarlett..." She whispered urgently, Pushing herself up into a sitting position so she could see them more clearly.

Eyes still shut, the wolf could hear the worry etched in Nova's voice, and now knew that she was caught off guard. With a smirk his eyes popped open, and, pulling himself out of the water, he pounced on her and brought her down, his teeth dangling a few inches from her throat in a mock attack. He pulled away, a triumphant smile played on his features, and his eyes shimmered with pride. "Got ya."
Galaxius released the breath he held in for so long, but was now fighting not to laugh. Vesper actually distracted Nova, and pinned her down on the ground. He hoped that she wouldn't get too upset and actually try and hurt the male, but somehow he knew she was too sweet for that.
Vesper continued to stand there, his eyes never wavering. He knew losing focus now would only result in another pounce attack, even though if this were a real fight Nova would already be dead.

Nova was shocked as the male jumped her, She lay there stunned, thoughts going through her head as she wondered about it and tried to pick out what she had done wrong. Then she laughed, Almost crying she squirmed from underneath Vesper and nudged him, "Well done." She congratulated him, Still chuckling she shook her head and stretched. "Well, Now since you have beaten me, You are one of us. You of us weird wolves." She said, Grinning as though she was the one that had won.
Hoku approached them and nudged him softly, "Well done!" she congratulated him, and Scarlett stood up, smiling slightly herself she walked round the clearing until she got to Galaxius. "Remember. Just tell her." She assured him, passing him and breaking into a run she left the clearing and began to make her way home.

"Thank you very much," Vesper bowed his head respectfully towards his new alphas, eyes glowing with happiness. It took him a long time to find a pack that was accepting of him...they even looked like him. What a glorious feeling he had, his paws tingling with joy. There was no other feeling like this in the world. "It's an honor to join the 'weird wolves'." He said smirking. As soon as the intense happiness came, it slowly simmered down and Vesper was himself once again. He looked to Hoku and smirked at her playfully, his bleach white teeth glinting in the sun.
Galaxius watched Nova as she allowed the young male into the pack, then eyed Scarlett as she headed in the direction of her home. He silently wished her well on her journey, and that their packs were safe. He huffed as he headed towards Vesper, the wolf grinning from ear to ear with triumph. Galaxius smiled.
"You aren't getting off too easily young pup," The alpha said, his voice deep and masculine. Almost dominating. "There are a few things that the new member must do in order to gain prestige in this pack. For starters, you will stay with Hoku and help her gather the herbs that I need for restocking. I need Lavender, Poppy seed, mint, and Yarrow. Please, go on and get started before dusk is upon us."
Vesper let out an exasperated sigh, but when he looked to the wolf called "Hoku" his expression grew soft. He turned briefly to Galaxius and flicked his ears in understanding before walking slowly towards the woods, waiting for Hoku to catch up.

Hoku grinned at Galaxius and ran after Vesper, Arriving at his side within moments she walked off ahead of him to lead him to the clearing where most of the plants Galaxius needed were.
Nova smiled and watched as the young male wolf walked off in to the woods, only hesitating to see if Hoku was following him. Chuckling slightly she turned back to Galaxius and smiled slightly, She could see he had been nervous about the fight, Most likely in case either she or Vesper got hurt. Shaking her head slightly she shot him a grin and flopped down on her side in the sunlight. Sighing in ecstasy, Nova let herself relax for once and let the sun warm her both inside and out.

Galaxius watched Nova with intense interest as she plodded by him, her smile captivating and her scent intoxicating. His nose twitched after her, the smells wrapping around him in a welcoming embrace. Exhaling calmly, he turned his deep green eyes towards his secret love. She was so calm...so happy. Galaxius only wished he could share it with her. Remembering Scarlett's words before she made her way back home, he forced himself up onto his paws and shyly made his way towards Nova.
"...um...No-ova?" He cleared his throat. "Nova? Can...can I speak with you?...alone?"
----------------------------------
Vesper had never felt so free. The spring air wafted over his senses, bringing a smile to his dark features. He purposefully hung back behind Hoku so he could observe the beauty before him.
"It's nice to belong somewhere," He stated finally, the silence growing to be a nuisance. A bird heard his gentle bark and took off into the air, its cry of alarm sending the other animals into silence. He paid them no mind. "I mean...I've never belonged anywhere really. Not with the way I look."

Nova smiled as she watched the two wolves plod off into the forest, She wished she could have that with someone, Mainly Galaxius. His soft voice broke through her train of thoughts, and she lifted her head. "Of course." She replied, her gold eyes calm and happy as she stood and walked off to a more secluded part of the clearing.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku sighed and relaxed as she wandered through the woods with Vesper, She watched as the birds fluttered above them and the quiet noise of wildlife around them lingered in her ears. He finally broke the silence and she turned her head slightly so she could watch him as she slowed her pace until she was beside him. "Yeah, I found Nova in the woods while I was traveling and we just clicked so we started traveling together and gradually we came across Galaxius, Stella and then Stea. And obviously you." She smiled, her onyx fur becoming dappled as they walked under the canopy of leaves.

The onyx wolf trotted after Nova, his mind zipping around in a million directions like a bee looking for pollen. His heart raced; he could feel it pounding in his head. Galaxius watched her form as it dappled in the shade laden sunlight, her fur seemingly glowing. Her appearance was mesmerizing.
"N-nova...I um..." He stuttered over his words several times; it aggravated him that he, of all wolves, had lost his tongue. Galaxius was a very literate being, and this bothered him. He felt like a pup. "I...well, that is...I really, really lo--" He paused, rethought his sentence, then continued with his head low. Love at this point was such a strong word...he did not want to frighten her. "I really, really like you. I have for a long time. I'm sorry it took me this long to say it...but but if you don't have the same feelings for me that...that's fine..."
Galaxius was unsure of her feelings, and all of a sudden he grew frightened that she would reject him, and the feelings he kept hidden inside all this time were not to be returned. Shaking his head he proudly held himself as he looked at the elegant creature before him.
-------------------------------------
Vesper chuckled as she smiled at him; his heart was so light and happy to have a family again. "I'm glad they found you..." He started, then cleared his throat nervously. "...oh, it looks like this is the clearing that Nova was referring to. I mean, it has lots of plants."
Upon entering the clearing, the cool shade of the trees faded and the heat of the day pelted his dark coat relentlessly. He suddenly began to pant and quickly made his way across the clearing to where the trees overshadowed some interesting plants. They smelled medicinal, that was for sure. "Are any of these plants what we need?" He asked as he sniffed the leaf of what he assumed to be lavender.

Nova watched as Galaxius followed after her, He was so amazing and handsome she would've never guessed what would come out of his mouth next. He stuttered over his words to start with but then paused and seemed to gather them again before starting again.
I really, really like you. I have for a long time. I'm sorry it took me this long to say it...but but if you don't have the same feelings for me that...that's fine...
She stood there in silence for a moment trying to process what he had just said before her face broke into a wide grin and she let out a bell-like laugh. "I love you too." She smiled and hurled herself at him, Knocking them both to the ground she licked his muzzle. Her eyes and her unique markings glowed with happiness and tears of happiness ran down her muzzle.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hoku smiled and muttered under her breath, "I'm glad we found you too..." but then laughed at his confusion concerning the plants, she trotted up to him and smiled. "Yeah, This is Lavender. Now all we need is Mint, Yarrow and Poppy seeds. Mint smells minty, Yarrow is narrow and spiny and... Well poppy's are pretty easy to spot." She smiled and pulled off a piece of the lavender and looked round the clearing for the other plants.
A gentle breeze made it's way into the clearing and made the plants and trees sway gently. The sweet minty smell fill the air and she wandered over to the small plant, Pulling off some clipping of that as well she turned back to Vesper and shot him a smile.
