Talarine: Ally to the Angels

Prologue

Night fell upon the lands of Sanctuary as the she-wolf stalked with and aggressive stance through the forest between Kingsport and Westmarch. She was patrolling around this forest for the last time with her pack-mates as soon they would all set off on the Alpha's command. When all were present the command was given and they set off in different directions to find a new home. The she-wolf remained in the shadows where her dark fur allowed her to be unseen as she passed Kingsport; she traveled a hundred miles away from it and came across a town that she ignored until she reached the outskirts. She halted her travels to witness something happening at a seemingly normal cottage; she was witness to the Archangel Imperius interacting with a possibly normal family but then continued on without a care. It certainly was not her place to judge the moodiest of them all, so she would see to it that she ignored him. She managed to slip past them and headed six hundred miles away from there to find a field just outside of another town. She threw her head back and howled, alerting her pack to her location. As she moved into the field her pack-mates arrived slowly, one by one until the largest wolf of them appeared, this wolf was the Alpha of the pack.

This will do, the Rival pack can have our old home. The Alpha looked to each wolf as the she-wolf blinked sleepily.

But what if they try to come here and take this place from us? A young light and dark brown wolf asked as he looked from the she-wolf to the Alpha.

The she-wolf snorted, Let them try! I found this place and Alpha said that it is ours now! I will kill any that dare to come close without a parley. She snarled with fangs bared.

Enough Tal, if they try anything we will worry about them then. Until such a thing happens I want you and Drake to go into town in the morning and explain our situation. The others and I will rest here. The Alpha spoke as Tal and the brown wolf nodded.

Dawn came early as Tal headed into town with her brother, Drake. Had anyone seen them in their wolf forms they would have never expected the brown wolf and the 'moon-touched' wolf to be brother and sister. Tal allowed her brother to do the talking after they were greeted openly and warmly by the mayor of this town. When her brother motioned to her, Tal looked at him and snorted. "You know I speak to none outside of the family." She looked away and stared at a wall of a house until her brother spoke again.

"Please forgive my sister, we suffered a demonic raid a few weeks ago and our parents were murdered. We have been traveling since and it has been hard on both of us."

"I understand, losing parents by any means is hard on anyone. Are there any others who came with you?"

"There is a group of us just outside of town, we camped out in the field and my sister and I were sent to see what all could be arranged."

"Ah, you all must be the pack of wolves that we heard last night. You are most welcome to stay, in fact we have several homes that need to be filled so all of you are welcome to live here. But if its not too soon, may I ask something of your pack?"

"Of course." Drake spoke as he looked to his sister, who was now paying close attention.

"Will you aid in protecting this town if the demons decide to attack?"

Now Tal surprised them both by speaking, "Of that you have our word. But I will warn you: there is a rival pack that seeks to destroy ours and will readily come and kill any that stand in their way should they catch wind of word of us living here."

"As for that you have no need to worry. I can tell that just from you two alone that your pack will be of great help to this place. Tell your leader that we welcome all of you to our humble town and that we have homes available." With that the Mayor and the two wolf-shifters went their separate ways.

A/N: this story is a shout out to silverlineage and her story "An Angelic Dilemma". It was with her permission that I made this story go along with hers. She and I have talked this story over and in a way its more of both of our story then mine. I cannot thank silverlineage enough for allowing me to do this and helping me keep the theme of what she has going in which you will see in later chapters.
