The next morning Thorn woke up early to hear Moon and Rosalyn talking who she guessed was Flame, sos he got up and stretched and walked over to the open field where she saw them sitting in a circle. "Hey you three what are you up to?" Thorn asks as  Flame looked up at Thorn timidly, "Oh um I'm so sorry I didn't mean to intrude we were just talking I promise I mean no harm." Flamethrower rambled out as Thorn just chuckle nuzzling the obviously nervous pup. That was the Beta of the Phoenix Pack. "It's fine Flame you actually let Arrow and I sleep in a bit. So thanks for that."

Thorn said as she looked to Moon and Rosie do you two want to help me hunt? I want to let the other sleep in a bit." Thorn told the puppies who wag their tails, "Yes please!" Both Moon and Rosalyn say as Flame looks to Thorn, " Can I come too? I'm a very good hunter!" Flamethrower says as Missile walks up, "I was wondering where my Beta went." Missile says playfully looking to her Beta before up to Thorn. We would love to hunt with you plus we have tons of mouths to feed at the moment." Missile says as Thorn nods, "Yeah sure I could use the help, now come on the hunting grounds aren't to far away from here. Thorn says.

………

At the hunting grounds the five dogs had caught enough food for everyone but the pups and Flame insisted on catching one more thing. So the two female alphas say down watching the the three pups closely. "I haven't seen Flame having this fun since we'll ever." Missile says as Thorn nods in understanding. " Yeah I know what you mean Dove and Tyson had to deal with Fang and they weren't very happy at all, but now they are free and they're so happy." Thorn says as Missile looks to her. I wish Flame had more young dogs to play with... I mean she's very mature for her age, but she never actually got to play like she is right now." Missile says as most of her pack was older then she was.

Your pack should move your territory to over here we only use half the lands then Flame can have more friends, and you don't have to deal with everything alone.." Thorn says making." Missile nod, "I couldn't possibly intrude like that, and I don't know how you and Arrow would like that..." Missile says as Thorn shook her head, "I talked it over with Arrow last night he was fine with it. So was Dove and Tyson." Thorn says making Missile look to her, I think we would like that. But who's keeping watch over the land?" Missile asks as Thorn smiles Arrow, Dove, and Tyson agreed to stay here with Briar and Spectro along with them since they didn't want to chance bumping into our old pack members." Thorn says as Missile nods, "Okay good." Missile tells Thorn who nods.

"Yeah now we better go if we want to get back by tomorrow." Thorn says as Missile nods, " Yeah your right come on guys let's head out." Missile barks out as the pups nod, "Okay Miss Missile" Moon and Rosalyn barks out as Flame said, "Yes Alpha" Flame says as they all walk back to the territory. 

Where Arrow, Dove, and Tyson were sitting and Pumpkin and Blaze were pacing with the black cats rolling their eyes at them. As Missile drops the food she and the others had caught. Let's eat then we can go!" Missile says as Pumpkin and Blaze nod. "Okay. Before chowing down on the food. As Thorn ate a bit before looking to Arrow. "You sure you will be okay here with the boys and Dove?" Thorn asked half jokingly as she nudges her mate playfully. Making Arrow chuckle, "Yeah we'll be fine you have the one of the troublemakers with you. Plus we haven't had a dad day in awhile." Arrow says nodding to Moon. "Yeah I know." Thorn says before looking to the two boy pups. " Hey boys will you be good for your daddy and older brother and sister for me?" Thorn asks making Briar and Spectro nod, "Yeah we will we promise mama!" Spectro says as  Briar looks at him as he was the other  troublemaker.

"Yeah sure." Briar grumbled  as Thorn chuckled and nuzzle the puppies, "Alright I love you princess behave for him okay." Thorn says as she could tell Pumpkin was  getting impatient. " She then looked to Dove and Tyson, "Love you!" Thorn says as Tyson and Dove nod, "We love you too." Tyson and Dove say at the same time as Thorn gave them a smile before looking to the group of dogs and cats. "Come on you guys let's get Pumpkin home, and with that Thorn started leading the way.

…………

Thorn looks at he two female pups as she continued walking it was getting dark and she could tell her pups were getting tired. Missile was already carrying Flame on her back, and Thorn was about to pick her pups up as she didn't want to stop. It was more dangerous at night and she didn't want to risk anything happening to her pups. She gently picked up the puppies and put them on her back looking at Missile who ears were pricked. "What do you hear Missile? Thorn asks as Missile looks to her. I don't know, but I swear I just heard paw steps." Missile whispers as Thorn perked her ears not hearing anything. "I don't hear anything now but we ought to be careful." Thorn says as Missile nods before the puppies wake up again and start asking Pumpkin questions. "Pumpkin what is it like being a leashed dog." Rosalyn asks as Pumpkin looked at Thorn.

"It's for an acquired taste. I enjoy it but not everyone does." Pumpkin says answering Rosalyn's question as Moon asks another question, "What is the craziest adventure you went on that's when Thorn buts in, "Um let's skip that question shall we?" Thorn asks as she didn't want her puppies getting any ideas, as she didn't want her pups getting any ideas from the white pup. As she didn't think she could take what Pumpkin's owner and Mira did.

"Yeah good idea Pumpkin says as he saw Thorn glaring at her. The pups sigh unhappily before all of them heard a twig snapped Thorn instantly growled as Missile put Flame who had woken when the twig snapped down and got into attack position. "Who's there,." They both growl.
