A Snowy Playground {Open}

It was the heart of winter, and sure, they may all be a bit hungry, but it was Alluri's favorite time of the year. She welcomed the snow on the ground with open paws, finally ready to get out of the camp and tight fighting for a little while. Her nose gave a slight twitch as she lowered it to the snow. Playfully she threw herself forward, burying her white fur in the blanket of snow. The feather like particles would fly everywhere, scattering all over the Alphess and filling the air. Her fluffy tail wiggled behind her like an extremely excited pup. As she would jump back out of the snow, she would let out playful yips, her paws bouncing from what spot to another.

The female was having the time of her life. She never showed this side of herself to her Beta or Delta, it was just too risky. It could blow her mature cover, and that was the last thing she could ever want. So with another bark, she flung herself forward once more. This time, her jaws snapped, clamping down on a pile of snow as the rest flew behind her and onto her fur. Her maw would snap open then closed until the snow had resolved to liquid and dripped from her open mouth.

By now, Alluri was panting, but it didn't stop her. Playing like this was reliving her stress, especially when she didn't have an Omega in the pack. This was a better way to release her stress rather than using aggression.

Padding slowly through the Common Grounds of his pack, he followed the scent of his Alphess. He didn't have a 'need' to see her, he just wanted to. Pausing, he look up at the tall grasses that blocked his view. He could hear clearly, just not see her. Pushing his head through the plants, a soft smile came to his face as he saw her play joyfully. It was a beautiful sight; snow flying around the white female as she danced around. Gently, he went through completely, revealing himself to the fae. He said nothing as she continued with the awareness that he was there. He didn't mind, though. It was amazing to see her; especially when she wasn't trying to be someone she wasn't. He knew this was her true, desired side. He set his haunches on the cold ground, a grin plastered on his face. He kneaded the ground, wondering if he should join along in the fun. At the same time, he wanted to seem mature in front of his leader. The yips and barks she produced were cute, and his eyes grazed upon her with compassion. He watched silently, waiting until she noticed him.

It wasn't long before the female caught scent of her Delta. But, then again it wasn't such a large territory, she always seemed to run into one of them somewhere. She pretended not to acknowledge him for a few moments, continuing to play in the snow. Then, out of the blue, she perked her head up with ears tipped forward and locked her mischievous filled eyes on the males. It was only for a moment, then she turned and raced into the woods. But, she was in the mood for a sneak attack, so when she left the male wondering where she was, she was busy behind him, hidden by the slight trees in the common grounds. Quickly, she dropped herself into a hunters crouch, and when she had crept forward enough, she pounced at him, hoping to knock him off balance and land so that she was on top of him.

If she succeeded in the playful motion, she would remain on top of the male. Her tail curled in a small arch, indicating that she was only using play aggression, not real. Even in it's arch it still wagged slightly. Playfully growling now, she leaned in, trying to nip gently at the males neck and cheek fur. When she had done it, she would lick where she had nipped, only to now fling herself off the Delta and race in the other direction. Her tail now uncurled as she trotted back toward him. Now, she halted a few paces away, lowering her fore legs into the snow and her rump into the air.

Her tail was held high, wagging in the air as she shook her rear end. Mentally, she was daring the young male to take his turn on "attacking" her. She let out a few barks, trying to get him into the game if he hadn't already. Now she was just milking up all the fun she would get, and slightly wondering if the other two pack mates would come and join them.

Surprise filled him as she dashed away, leaving him frozen and confusion. He glanced around, squinting into the woods, trying to figure out where she went. A waft of her scent came to his nose and he turned around, startled by the charging female. She tackled him, causing him to loose balance and fall to the ground. She nipped at him playfully, then licked swiftly. He watched as she ran away, her tail lowering until she wagged it. He took off, tearing in the opposite direction, going to the same place she had disappeared to moments before. He followed the path she used, letting his pelt show so she thought he was going to appear behind her, but quickly turned, racing in the opposite direction. He kept low, staying clear of her vision before sprinting out from where he had entered the woods. She was turned around, ready to greet him with a knowing look. But he was smart and stealthy, and he took it as an advantage. He ran silently, knocking the Alphess over with a gentle, yet powerful push. He stood on top of her, waiting for her next move, before making his own.

The Alphess gathered herself as the male disappeared into the same way she had taken. She was almost positive that he was going to copy her tactic, though this time it wouldn't be a surprise. Alluri turned her body to the woods, her fore legs bouncing around playfully as her tail swayed in the breeze behind her with gentle force. She barked playfully into the woods, yet no Delta came out. Confused, she cocked her head, an ear lowering in a funky way. But, by the time she had figured out his trick, it was too late. With a shove to her side, the female fell over, now Achak had the lead role and was the one holding her down. Raising her head, she licked at the bottom of his chin. Time for her to play the submissive role.

Her ears fell to the back of her head, her front paws curled against her chest, not touching the male at all. She would even milk it up by licking under his chin in respect, as a lower rank would do to the Alpha or Beta. Finally her tail curled to her under belly and small whines escaped her throat. Golden hued eyes looked pleadingly at the male. But, when she was sure he knew her game, she pushed off with hind legs she had been so carefully moving under the males belly. Hopefully, her kick was aimed well enough to send him flying through the air and into the snowfilled pile.

With a bark of laughter, the female would race away, her tail flicking back and forth in sudden excitement. Alluri would regain her honorable stance, telling that the game was over and that she had won.
