The two golden forms slipped into the territory unnoticed. They were remarkably good at this. They had slipped away from the pack while everyone was busy congratulating the other yearlings on a successful hunt. Personally, the two had only been on Greenwood land when they were pups, and they wanted another shot at it. They weren't exiled like the others. Maybe they could get back in. This thought was much more exciting than having everyone tell you you did a good job on a stupid hunt.
The two paused near what they identified as the pack's camp and peeked in. Being late at night, most of the wolves were asleep. They wondered where their grandmother was. They heard she sometimes visited Blackwood. Maybe they had accidentally passed her on the way. Because she wasn't here.
Both twins glanced at each other curiously before shrugging and turning to head back to their own lands. Oh, well. They knew there was another Alpha of Greenwood now, but they'd also heard he'd been the one to banish their family. they didn't want to run into him.

There was one shape laying in front of one of the dens, apparently asleep. No one else seemed to be outside. Though one wolf with snowy white fur slipped out of his den and walked out of the camp, yawning and blinking sleepily. He hadn't noticed the she-wolves apparently. The wolf seemed to just want to get a drink from the stream before heading back to his den.

The twins blinked at the form, then swiftly dodged for the bushes, silently watching from the darkness. Hopefully, the male wouldn't notice them. They preferred to keep out of sight if they could.

Avalanche sniffed the air briefly, almost absently. He didn't notice the she-wolves and kept on walking. A few minutes later he came back, his muzzle wet with icy water. Then he vanished into his den again, apparently asleep once more. That left the one lone figure sleeping in the camp.

The twins slipped out again and into the camp after the white wolf. Once he was gone, they crept over to the other figure, curious. Sundew dropped back after a moment to let her sister go first. That was typically how they did it. One hid while the other tried to lure their 'prey' in. Lilyfrost sat in front of the male and let out a soft woof. Luckily, being in those flowery bushes helped disguise her scent completely. She smelled as Greenwood as any wolf in the dens now.

The wolf's ears twitched and he raised his black and silver head. Donovan had slept outside, mostly to enjoy the coolness of the air. And to see when Sunstorm would come back from wherever she'd run off to. He sniffed the air and could detect no scents but Greenwood. Donovan rose to his paws and looked around, before spotting the shape of a she-wolf. Who in his pack was up, and why?

As Lilyfrost stepped into the moonlight, physically grown form shimmering in the light, she looked identical to her grandmother. She smiled warmly, seductively, at the black and silver male, flicking her tail in invitation. "Hey." She greeted, soft and gentle.

Donovan blinked. At first he was sure it was Sunstorm. But this she-wolf was much younger and a bit smaller. Maybe a yearling or so. Donovan rose to his feet, but didn't growl or act hostile just yet. This she-wolf was too old to be one of his pups. And none of Mystic's kin would dare come back and show themselves to the Alpha, would they?
"Who are you?" Donovan asked.

"My name is Lilyfrost." She replied, dipping her head politely to him. She stepped forward, moving to sniff near his shoulder, finding an excuse to curl her neck against his. "You must be Donovan, the Alpha of this pack?" She asked politely, pulling away after a sniff.

Lilyfrost? That name was familiar... "Yes. What are you doing here?" A low growl came from deep within his throat. Who was this yearling? And why was she here to begin with? And why did she bear a striking resemblence to his own mate, he wondered?

"Me and my sister came to visit. We used to be here as pups, but we were taken by Blackshadow." She explained. It wasn't a lie. Technically, Sol had taken them to Blackshadow. But they weren't exactly victims. She glanced over into the woods, flicking her tail. Her twin slowly came over, seeming very tentative and shy. She took on the appearance of being scared, terrified, scarred by whatever had happened to her. These two were good actors. "We thought we could find our mother." Lily further spoke, turning back to face Donovan. "We heard of our father's death."

"No brutes have died recently." Donovan was still suspicious of them. But one of them seemed afraid. "And no pups have been stolen recently, either." Well, not true. Five out of Mystic's last litter had been brutally murdered by Blackshadow wolves. Murdered, mind you. Not stolen. Murdered. They couldn't be a part of that litter...could they? "As for your mother...no she-wolves have given birth to any she-wolves within the year." Again, Mystic had. Again, they were murdered.
((Lets just say he doesn't know about Sol's alternative power. XD))

((Yeah. xDD))
"Our father was the Alpha." Lily frowned at him. "Starfrost. Our mother is Sunstorm. We were born a few years ago. The Blackshadows changed us, to make us so we'd age slower." She stole that idea from Oak and Willow.

"Starfrost?" Donovan furrowed his brow. He was just a bit younger than Starfrost. He couldn't remember any of their pups being stolen. Had they been? "I don't remember Starfrost having two pups that looked like you." He eyed them skeptically. They looked like Sunstorm, only much younger. It reminded him how beautiful his mate had been when they were younger.

Sundew looked 'timidly' at her sister. "Maybe Hemitite was lying all along." She whimpered, ducking her head. Lily frowned over at her, before letting out a sigh herself. She turned back to Donovan, gaze dulled and depressed. "I guess we were wrong. I'm sorry for bothering you."
