Howl discussion

The rich heady scent of cheeses, tomatoes, a variety of flavorings, and meat was always the first thing that Nathaniel thought of whenever he was hungry. Which was why he often found himself wandering into the pizzeria. So it wasn't that much of a surprise to find him sitting at a table, with a half devoured meat lovers pizza in front of him. Half devoured as in out of the entire pizza he ordered only a few slices remained. Oddly enough he was still ravished with hunger. One would've thought that whole 'teenage boy' appetite would go away once he had gotten out of the 'teen' years and was now twenty. It hadn't. If anything it seemed to be expanding. A slight scowl tugged at the corner of his lips as he took a drink from the ice cold root beer that he had ordered. With the idea of his appetite only growing as he got older...well someday he'd be living in the pizzeria. Eating non-stop, like a wacky cartoon character. Sincerely he hoped that didn't happen.

Renee was starving as she realized. She rolled her eyes at herself, couldn't it wait? But her stomach growled once more and she had entered the pizzeria. Immediately, she took a whiff of the delicious aromas but also to warn her of any Rouges or Shadowfield. Instead, she found a familiar scent. Nathaniel. She hadn't seen her own pack for a while, a week actually, having needed some time to plan for the pack and things. She started to walk toward him, a smile growing on her face.

And there it was, just when he thought that he might be alone in the pizzeria, the familiar scent of the pack's beta came wafting in through the small Italian restaurant. Picking up a slice of the pizza he took a bite as he turned his head over towards Renee's direction. She was heading towards him, he knew that from how the sound of her footsteps had increased and now seeing her his mind immediately registered several things about her. Her hair was a bit messy, no doubt from the slight breeze outside, her eyes were shining in an excited sort of way, her cheeks were glowing with that light blush that always seemed to be on her cheeks and a smile pulled at the corners of her lips. She looked happy to see him, then again she'd probably have been happy to see anyone in the pack. After all being absent from the pack for longer than a few days usually left any wolf feeling excited when they came into contact with the pack again.

Chewing the cheese slathered bite in his mouth he waited until he had swallowed and Renee had made it to where he was sitting before one of his dark brows rose into a quizzical arch. "Did you get your piece of mind, Nee?" He'd never called her by her full name, hell it was rare if Nathaniel ever called anyone by their full name, he was all about quick easy to shout names. Something that was easy to remember too.

Tobias walked slowly down the street, his azure eyes gazing to the pizzeria, thankfully he was hungry so he could defend himself if the girl said he was following her, which he was.

He walked in easily, but instantly moving to the other side of the room, he was mad enough to follow her but he wasn't mad enough to be so blatantly obvious about it. Once seated he picked up a menu and gazed at it thoughtfully, glancing up occasionally to watch the two interact with one another.

Aimee knew she was risking a helluva lot, just by being there. It had been a good few days since both her and Ky had eaten, and she would by lying if she had said that she was fine by it. But that was one of the usual things Aimee did. She lied, so others wouldn't feel guilty. Kyler didn't have to be there with her right now. She could be back, with the pack, although she knew as well as her sister did, there was just as much risk with her father in the state he was in. Completely drawn out from the world, more animalistic than human. She supposed that was what happened when you lost your mate. It was the main excuse she used for her father hurting both her and her older sister. But she doubted she would ever experience the feeling of having a mate. She had already come close to that with Ash. She didn't think she'd be able to fall for somebody. Not because she didn't want to. But because of the constant fear that she would loose them. That was why.

She let her moss green eyes dart around uneasily, already sensing the precense of two werewolves, and by their scent she could gather that they were a part of the packs. Not rogues like herself. It put her more on edge than she had been. Directing her gaze downward, she let the tips of her fingers tap against her jean clad thigh as she let out a stifled breath. Surely they wouldn't attack her here, right? She had learnt the rules from Ky to avoid being singled out; Head down, glance averted and figure hunched to ensure that others knew she meant no harm. She followed these rules now as she let the savory, yet welcomed scent of pizza drift past her nose, immediately making a beeline toward the queue.

Renee's scent had only a slight trace of Rouge, but it was enough to trick some Rouges to come nearer. Sadly, it didn't work on the girl who had came in. She showed no sign she had heard them, smelt them, not even acknowledging them. Renee slid in the seat across Nathaniel, "I did Nat," he smiled. She only let him call her Nee, others called her Renee. For some reason, he reminded her of her cousin, always ready, always with a smile. Then her body went rigid for a split second as she found the familiar scent from the Common Grounds. He had followed her!

Shit, she thought, opening her telepathy link to Nathaniel, something packs had available to them.

The wafting scent of a rogue as they entered the pizzeria only made Nathaniel shift his weight, he was all too ready to learn more about them. AKA, to pounce on them and fight them. That was what he really wanted to do. After all he was always ready to help defend his pack's territory, loyal to the bone he was....when it came to the pack anyway. Taking another bite of pizza his eyes drifted over to the sight of the the rogue, the slim human figure, eyes cast downwards as if she could avoid being sensed. Honestly the rogue was kidding herself if she thought that was the case, that she could walk into a town that hosted two packs and expect to be overlooked? Ha. As if.

Swallowing Nathaniel resisted the urge to look pointedly at Renee when she suddenly spoke into his mind with that telepathic link they all shared. Honestly it was useful at times....but for the most part Nathaniel was the kind of guy to find it a drag. Still he just finished off the slice of pizza in his hands as he spoke back to her. Do I get to hit anyone? Otherwise.....I'm not to sure how this 'shit' comment applies to me. It was a known fact that unless Nathaniel got to do something, he wasn't big on knowing other people's problems.

Aimee knotted her hands together in front of her, shiftily letting her gaze ease around to study two of the now, three wolves that were within the pizzeria. She knew that she was disobeying instructions simply by looking around. Get in. Get out. Hell, Ky didn't even know she was there right now. She was supposed to be back at the car, awaiting for her older sister to return with some kind of food for the two of them. But she was fed up with being useless. She wanted to help. Again, it was her fault they were now classed as rogues in the first place, the least she could do was try to take responsibility for once, instead of sitting back and propping her feet up. Always waiting for her sister to take over. Green eyes scanning, she met the eye briefly of one of the two werewolves, instantly stiffening slightly and sucking in a breath before looking back to the line.

Aimee clenched and unclenched her hands, swallowing visibly as one perfeclty sculpted brow rose as the woman currently ordering was now having a heated discussion with the empolyee at the till. Inwardly, she groaned, considering leaving altogether and making an attempt of digging herself out of the whole she had dug herself in to. But the stubborn side of her, the part she had earned from her mother was whispering that she could do this. She wasn't some kid any more. She rocked back on her heels, pulled as the bottom of her shirt, simply to put her mind off of the risking situation she had walked into.

Not the girl, spare her. The arrogant guy on the other hand, Renee let a smile come to her lips. She said something totally off topic, just so it looked like they were having a normal conversation, "Besides, I missed the pizza here."

Renee Forest focused more on the girl, on Aimee. Her eyes connected with Aimee, knowing and ready. A threat in the somewhat innocent gaze. She could tell the girl was getting food, getting it for someone else. There are a lot of Rouges. I have to take note of that, she said to Nathaniel. If it came to it, he knew she could handle herself...perfectly. Everyone knew the hidden danger in Renee and how it took much to tame it. They were good sparring partners and he had enough broken noses by her hand.

The guy.......I would love to hit him. Too bad I just ate, besides Nee, we know you're perfectly capable of digging yourself out of your issues. Taking a drink of his root beer he nodded, "Yeah, the pizza really is the best, I would know." It was a known fact that he was one of the most frequent visitors to the pizzeria. Hey, he loved his pizza. Pizza was his favorite food, and he loved eating it.

Looking over at the rogue he smirked slightly, time for some fun. Which was why he stood and waltzed right up into the line, right next to the rogue girl. Leaning down slightly he smiled his tone light and conversational, as if they knew eachother or were at the very least acquaintances. "Best pizza in all of town is right here. Personally I recommend the chicken BBQ, but I love anything BBQ. What about you?" Smiling at the girl anyone looking at them would've assumed it was friendly conversation. To the girl who would look up into his dark eyes? She would see the underlying threat.

Har har, you're hilarious, Renee thought back at him. Continuing with their said "conversation", she nodded, her dark auburn hair coming a bit loose from her tight bun. She snatched a slice, picking off some of the extra meat and took a bite just to almost choke when Nathaniel got up and went straight to the line. What are you doing? Of course, Renee at the moment didn't tell him stand down, though she had complete power to, being Beta. She wanted to smack the buffoon on the head. Sure, orders were to kill Rouges on sight really but letting a few harmless ones get away was no deal, as long as you didn't exaggerate it.

Noah swung open the glass pizzeria doors, drifted in by the amazing smell.

One step closer. She was having to reassure herself now as the next person in line went ahead. The woman who had been arguing had left in a huff, and regardless of whether she was on the constant guard to make sure nobody grabbed a hold of her, she couldn't help but find it mildly amusing. Hell she had missed the actual feel of human presence. Being locked up in a care with the same person for god knows how long, you each got on each others nerves. Even if they were related, the Denbers sisters couldn't contrast more. This had been the first chance she had gotten to actually leave that goddamned vehicle, she was going to make the most of it while Ky was away, even if she was at risk of getting her arse kicked by her older sister later. A fate much worse than being found by pack wolves, she could be sure.

Aimee could hear him getting closer before anything else, and it was the sort of feeling that sent shivers up somebodys spine. She wasn't to fond of that feeling. Again, she swallowed visibly, her hands now fisted and knuckles white as she now felt hot breath next to her ear, grinding her teeth together and flinching as the stranger, the pack member spoke, pressing her lips together in a line as she urged herself not to look up at him. What would Kyler do? she questioned herself. "It is huh?" She managed to keep her voice firm, and prevented it from wobbling as she now let her moss green eyes meet his. "I have to say, I'm more into the spicy types." Aimee managed, mentally congratulating herself for remaining calm. On the outside anyway. On the inside was another story.

Renee Forest's Beta aura seem to flare at all the wolves of her own, seeming to add as they all got powerful. She saw the Shadowfield and she spoke on her telepathy line, Shadow wolf 2:00 Noah. Nat, help get her out, she's going to shift.
Calmly, Renee stood, giving the girl Rouge a warning to get the hell out of there before she called her Alpha.

((My apologies if I get some people wrong; I still need to go look at the profiles again and depict who is who ;_; ))

The redolence, the many, many aromas of multiple ingredients clashing together to form that distinguished scent of the italian delicacy only made him question why he had come here rather than relish in it; twas not that pizza was disliked, it was just… wherever there was pizza, there were bound to be plenty of people. He was not wrong, not at all. This immediate realisation made him feel instantaneously out of place. Like a puzzle piece trying to fit into a masterpiece that it did not belong to; just a mistake- a glitch in the picture. To his knowledge, there were two Silvermoon maggots and a precious Shadowfield, which made him feel quite at ease. On the side there was a rogue, though they did not bother him much.

Despite the fact his most adored sister was killed by a band of rogues, he did not have an issue with rogues personally. He did, however, venerate the late memory of the one out of three people that had actually genuinely cared for him in his downfall years. He felt perhaps he would be more comfortable ordering a box of pizza and going home to indulge himself with the whole box of food; to stay here did not seem like an option. As for his large eating habit, well… with all the activities he occupied himself with, he burned a lot of calories in addition to just being a werewolf made his appetite quite astounding.

Renee still didn't look at Tobias, not wanting to confirm his suspicion that it was her in the woods. She didn't have time. Her scent, Silvermoon with a trace of Rouge, seemed to throw the other shadow wolf which came in. She watched his eyes, seeing him count Nathaniel and Noah immediately but not her. The Rouge will probably see sense now and run or join the Silvermoon in threat situation.

She started to walk toward Sebastian, calmly like any other mundane. Fenris, danger at pizza palace.

Nathaniel frowned slightly at the order of Renee's voice resonating inside his own mind. That was the sucky part about telepathy, no chance of finding a loophole in the order when you could feel their intentions. Sighing he smirked slightly, oh well.....this would be fun anyway. Too bad he was getting sent on babysitting a rogue and would miss any potential action. "Spicy huh? Then you ought to try the thai place down the street, c'mon Doll, let's get you out of here." AKA, let's get you out of here before you do something stupid and end up dead. While he didn't much care of rogues....he couldn't just have them drop dead in the middle of some territory fight either.

Renee almost smiled, knowing everything was going smooth, but then again, it was only seconds in. She hoped Fenris would get here soon.

((I know, that's why she talked to him XD))

Sebastian knew, as soon as she began to advance, that he had missed one; "Female… how cute," he thought bitterly. In no way was he underestimating her ability to fight or manipulate or whatever it was that she planned to utilise, however, his thoughts one the feminine specimen remained relatively impassive; males, on the other hand, he found slightly vexing and disappointing as they of- Sebastian shook his head, throwing away the expanding thoughts and focusing on the issue at hand. He may have to get his hand dirty. Though he knew it was a mistake, what he was about to do, he felt ignoring her would be no effective tactic.

Languidly blinking, like a panther awakening from somnus, he turned his cranium slightly and made direct eye contact with the beta of the opposition. The corners of his lips twitched up slightly, just slightly. Though there was no welcome in this mock smile. There was only game and blood.

Aimee let her gaze return to the floor again, or at least trying to focus on something, tapping her fingers against her thigh again. The action itself was one that calmed her, and as she looked up again she could feel tension beginning to stir in the air, and already her own muscles were tensing, not of her own accord mind you, ready for any fight if she needed to do so. Her brow furrowed at his words as she jutted her head toward the desk that was now free, seeing as she was next in line. "But what about my pizza?" She stated, although to be honest, if anything was about to kick off this was the last place she needed to be. Chewing on her bottom lip for a moment Aimee continued to rake a hand through her dark, almost ebony locks. "Ok then, I guess I'll have to be finding someplace else." She said regretfully with a mild shrug of her shoulders. As long as he didn't kill her, she wasn't bothered. But maybe killing her would be a good thing. Only a few months ago that had been what she wanted. Desperately.

Tobias had remained silent for the entirety of the time he had been here, his eyes continuously scanning over the incredibly vast menu, who knew there was so many types of pizza. Though he had not been completely oblivious to the current ever changing situation in the room, it may have just been him but he felt a slight tension in the air, which weighed down heavily on his shoulders.

He glanced upwards momentarily, his sky blue eyes catching sight if the young female rogue with a pack male towering by her, he could hear his soft warnings, probably only due to his natural enhanced hearing. Though his eyes did finally rest on the female who he had been conversing with in the plains, now he could clearly get a look at whom he had been talking to.

He had a feeling things were about to turn nasty pretty quick, not that he relished the idea of conflict, but he had developed a well practised attack routine, a must for most rogues.

Renee saw the danger and smugness in the wolf she was walking to. Being a Beta, she learned to read their body language well. Where's Fenris?

Raven looks up and wrinkles her nose slightly nostrils flaring at the prominent scent of others. Of course she also recognized the scent of those familiar but she starts down the walk way again anyways, debating on whether or not to go in. Whilst her main instincts were in fact telling at her to go in to see what what happening, she hesitated, if only because she wasn't one to pry. Not only that but it was the scent of just how many there were that drove her away. As she gazes in her stomach whines in protest reminding her of the unfortunate fact that she had skipped all meals for wandering around. Shaking off the thoughts Raven slipped her hand over the cool metal of the door handle and opened it the smell immediately rushing through her senses. Huffing in annoyance at just how busy it was she slipped past the rounds of people waiting and became half hidden behind a rather large man. Human. Ignorant. Blind. Raven's mouth waters slightly as she watches pizzas pass and gazes around picking out specifically those who were in the small confined space.

Tobias remained still, he rolled his shoulders in a casual action, loosening the muscles that had tenses into that of steel cords wound so tight they could of snapped. He watched the female easily, if she attacked him he was fine with this, "And you said I smelt, no wonder you smelt off," he smiled absently, his thumb caressing his lower lip in an mindless gesture.

"Your voice did as well at the time," he added as if an after thought, nodding as he thought over this, he should of known really, but he hasn't been entirely concentrated on that situation, not as he was now.

Renee's breath seemed to settle as she saw her alpha. Take a whiff. Three Shadows, Two Rouges.

Rosalie burst in, and snarled, stepping in between the rouges and the other pack, "were fine to be here if were civilized, and we were fine until you had to make a sene, just leave us alone, and don't judge to quickly."

Tobias sighed inwardly, it always seemed to be resorting to bringing in the alpha, surely if he had wanted trouble he would have caused it by now? Obviously not in their eyes.
"Wandering through, you know, as wolves do," Tobias answered easily, gazing to the alpha with no fear but he did hold respect in his gaze, he knew the proper conduct for this, seeing as he was raised for that role himself as a pup.

Renee froze at Tobias's words. She kept her head down, her dark red hair fully coming loose as she stepped behind Fenris, bringing her head high as the Beta she was.

"I have no place, Im not apart of this shit, no wonder my parents left it..." She trailed off, but said it fiercely her voice didn't waiver, She wasn't scared.

"Do you see them us on your lands?" She snarled

Envy pulled her white and black spots car up to the pizzeria and climbed out, slamming the door behind her. She stormed into the restaurant, her heavy motocross boots stomping on the ground as she did so. For someone who had been dead not twenty minutes ago, she looked like she could kick anyones ass. Her two-toned gaze scanned the scene in front of her and her eyes landed briefly on Fenris, her 'mate'. Rolling her eyes she looked at her pack members and waited for one of them to tell her what the hell was going on.

"I have not violated any laws, I have remained on neutral grounds, as your beta, she saw me earlier," he added, leaning back into his seat to get into a more comfortable position. He didn't see why he shouldn't be, the alpha seemed reasonable, unlike many he had crossed before, but then again it said something in itself if he still remained.
"I respect your laws Alpha," Tobias added as if he felt he should just state this for the record.

"The issue." Rosalie snarled at rush and envy, "is that your packs can't mind their own damn business!"

Tobias inclined his head as a respectful acceptance of the alphas wishes, he hadn't planned on breaking the rules anyway, he had no death wish, not yet anyway.
"I shall try my best," he answered with a slight smile, he liked this alpha character, he was not too.. Overbearing.

Renee seemed to glare at Tobias. He seemed to be a great smooth talker to earn Fenris's respect. She cursed inwardly, a bit uncomfortable. She finally looked at Envy. She had never met her future Female Alpha. This was going to get exciting.

(Haha, ya, well I have three so ya.. :)

"Oh yes. Your laws." Rosalie was angrier than need be, but she was mad. "Who's the real monsters, you kill us on sight, where as Ive never harmed a single person. Your the real monsters." She yelled, her eyes turning wolf, she said, knocking him away from her.

Renee Forest growled. She had enough. The Rouges took everything from her and now was the time to get back. Let me Fenris. the request ringed in the whole pack's mind. Anger could be felt from her, only her pack could feel it though. Every Rouge gone, is another little girl safe, safe from what she went through.

Tobias raised an eyebrow as he caught Renee's glare, now what had he done

Envy had a headache from hell and wasn't in the mood to deal with annoying Rouges. She was about to go off at the female rouge when Fenris jumped in. she was a little shocked at his actions, why would he care how someone talked to her. He hated her...right?

Renee connected eyes with Envy, taking her in and scenting a bit of her confusion. She smiled reassuringly, her face transforming from the snarling dangerous face. Her whole pack knew what she could become and what would definitely happen to the Rouge if Fenris let her deal with it.

Nathaniel still under the orders to get the rogue girl out of there, wasn't deterred by the sudden arrival of Fenris. No doubt Renee had called him in worried about a fight, silly. No fights took place in public places anyway, but still. Wrapping his hand around the upper bicep of the rogue girl he tugged her off towards the bathrooms and out through the back entrance ignoring the 'employees only' sign. It wasn't as if anyone paid attention to those things anyway. He wasn't really about to watch some rogue get killed over something stupid like pizza. Once just outside, and while the other wolves were focused on the male rogue he nodded at the girl. "Get out of here. You should be more careful...." Frowning down at the girl his hand let go of her arm, his dark eyes unreadable in the dim light of the outside.

She pushed him off her, "Im not part of your pack, don't tell me what to do, I respect your laws and trust me I want to be as far away from your packs as possible. BUT THIS!" She roared using her arms to motion the sene, "this is your fault, were fine and civilized, leave us the fuck alone."

Envy raised a brow at the Silvermoon Wolf. She didn't know her but felt if she was going to her her alpha, then maybe she should. "Envy Thorne." She introduced herself curtly. She didn't even bother helping Finn, she figured he had it under control. Pursing her lips, she knew he was going to be angry that she had come to the restaurant, she wasn't in the best condition.

"Fenris," Renee said, not exactly scornful but she has a tense feel to it, "lower your voice." As Beta, she was to advise him and that was exactly what she was doing. Her breath was let out as Nat took the Rouge away, taking away all her murderous feelings with her.

Tobias watched the scene play out before him, though he had previously helped this rogue female he had no inclination to do it in this current situation, he was not one for getting involved in pack affairs. But he did understand the alpha response, he himself would have responded this way had it been his own mate.

Renee met eyes with her once again, a small smile, more calm and reassured on her lips. She held out her hand, "Renee Forest," and then quickly thought if Envy knew she was Beta. What really was her hoping thought, was that Envy didn't freak out once she sniffed her scent. Silvermoon with a hint of Rouge.

"Rosalie," Tobias said softly, glancing to the girl as she worked herself up, "Stop digging yourself a hole," he told her, more out of the fact he didn't truly see this get violent than because he cared for the girl, maybe in a friendly manner as one cared for a neighbour. He had known her vaguely as he travelled but they had never truly became friends.

She sneered at him, and talked as if talking to a child, slowly and taunting "your pack or however the hells pack it was, came in and got mad for a little rouge coming in and eating pizza, okay? Got that so far? What ever came afterward was defense. I didn't say you, did I? I said your pack, which you are in charge of. I don't need to obey you, your not my alpha, I don't belong to anyone, and us rouges don't go in packs, why do you think were not in yours? We're very civilized unless provoked, so don't provoke me, im stronger then i look, and if I go down, im taking four down with me."

This was getting out of hand, Fenris needed to calm down. Sighing, Envy walked up behind Finn and nudged him quickly. The last thing she wanted to do was actually make physical contact with him. "Hey Cujo, There are humans here and you're both kinda creating a scene." She hissed at him. She understood his anger though, the rouges knew the rules. They weren't to interact with pack, especially in public and they weren't supposed to disrespect the alpha's, let alone the alpha pair.
Turning to the female rouge, Envy's gaze turned wolf, which was a glowing gold color, "You know your place Rouge, Remember it." she snapped at her.

"Oh trust me," Renee said, her wind whipping in the cold sharp air. Her eyes turned complete silver. "I will not hesistate to just kill you and get it over with." She knew she would. Renee took a step toward the girl, only going to be stopped by her alpha's command.
