Cerulean

Cerulean had been in the Sunset Claws Pack for one week before he attempted to challenge Orkney. He wanted to join the pack as he saw the way they all carried themselves but he hardly saw males around them. He was quite confused by this and asked one of the hunters, Lorelai, about the lack of males within the pack.

Lorelai snorted before saying, "Well males here are valued differently than females. They aren't superior here like many other packs claim they are so we don't usually seek them out nor accept them easily into the pack without reason. You are lucky to be here." She walked away heading towards Astro, the other hunter of the pack.

Cerulean had been a part of a pack where leaders were only males and he had grown up around that, although during his time living there the lead wolf saw the females as more for breeding purposes than actual wolves. He had a little bit of that mindset but hearing what the she-wolf said sent him into deep thoughts.

The next day, during the morning, eating as wolves sat around talking amongst themselves Cerulean walked up to Orkney and Etienne. He took a glance at Etienne, noticing her eyes before he turned to the solid blue eyes in front of him. Orkney gave him a curious look, "What is this Cerulean?" The male stared right into her eyes and said, "I, Cerulean, challenge you for the lead wolf title."

The pack went deathly silent before Orkney smiled, "I, Orkney, accept your challenge. We will start within the time before the sun sets to let the Sun Wolf witness the fight." After that Cerulean went away and prepared. When the time came, all the wolves from the pack stood off to the side giving them plenty of space. Both of the wolves stared at each other before Orkney sat down and stared at the male. This angered him so he charged at her which she instantly moved to the side. He kept trying to get to her but all she would do is dodge his attacks, he had landed a few good hits before he tired himself out.

Once Orkney noticed this, she stood up and charged him. Not letting him get any breaks before she slashed at his neck if it had not been for her intentionally not hitting him there. He would be dead, she snarled at him. "I am the rightful leader of this pack and no one will tell me otherwise. Without me, there would be no pack. I demote you to Nonman for you challenging me and daring to think you could overthrow me in my pack. You are lucky I am only doing that to you." She walked away and Echo, the herbalist, came and brought him to the den where he put on some medicines for his wounds. He was not gentle but Cerulean took it.

Many looked at him with disgust and he tried to keep to the sidelines but as the pack's new and only Nonman, he was often embarrassed but did as the other wolves said as if he had a choice.
