Kraii had been wandering for a while - well, a very long time, but only a while in this place. She had seen the pack to the west from afar, to the north and south as well - none interested her.
Then she came upon a pack to the east. The scent of a male driven from the border made her fangs just from her muzzle, and the strength of the alpha was evident. Though there appeared to be three wolves in power, one was injured on the ground, another...showed grace and power with every solid step. And the third - the alpha - was full of strength and fury.
So she approached the pack. The alpha stormed out to her, and Kraii carefully tucked her tail as far as she could, dipping her muzzle.
"I want to join your pack." She said, humbly.
"What do you have to offer me?" The she-wolf growled, circling Kraii, a snarl quietly rumbling on her face. The gem that dangled from her necklace glinted in the fading sunlight.
"Strength." Kraii said, calm, quiet.
"We have that!" Tala responded, jerking her head towards her beta. The black wolf with gold eyes uttered a growl in response.
"I will give my life to protect those pups I can smell on your fur. I will offer you my life, and my loyalty." She could feel her fangs as she spoke.
