Something Rogue had not expected about being an alpha was the sheer amount of walking she'd have to do. Of course, she'd known that alphas had to be the primary ones defending the pack's territory, but did it really have to involve hours of boring walking, circling the border? Apparently. She huffed, looking around. She was hungry, and there had to be some rabbits or some deer nearby. She put her nose to the ground, sniffing for any trails. She was rather unique, and most likely, the only female alpha in all of the southwestern US. She was rather proud of the fact, though honestly it didn't mean much. She led a minor pack of only seven, two females including herself, and five males. She didn't think any of the males were fit to be leading the pack, and she knew it well because they were all her brothers. The seven of them were born in a litter, and their mother raised them until she was killed when they were still young. Gangs and rivalries were common among werewolf packs, and her mother had been a victim of it. Her sister was smart, but timid and shy. A good healer, which was nice when her idiot brothers got into scrapes, which happened a lot. They were stupid boys, ignorant and full of testosterone. Rogue was the smallest of the litter, but she was scrappy and strong. When they'd needed to choose an alpha, of course the first born boy had been put up to the plate, but halfway through the winter they'd all nearly starved to death. Rogue fought her brothers and won the fights. By werewolf law, she was alpha.
Rogue perked up as she caught the scent of a hare, and she started following the path until her nose was suddenly filled with the scent of another werewolf - definitely not of her pack, and definitely fresh and in her territory. The hair on the back of her neck stood on end, and she forgot the hare, chasing after the scent of the werewolf until she saw the outline of a large wolf, leisurely wandering through. She growled menacingly, signalling that he was to get off her land immediately.
