Mika climbed down into the center of the field. She pricked her ears up, listening for her pack. They should be coming, they had arranged it to be so. So far, though, she was alone in the waning light of day.
After a while, she grew impatient and let out a long howl, as loud as she could, that would carry over all her lands. If they hadn't known it before, they would certainly know it now.
She layed down on the prickly grass, her paws folded over one another. It had been a particularly hot day, and she was glad it was coming to an end. She shook the thought out of her mind, turning instead to why she was gathering her pack. First of all, she wanted to meet them. She had seen them all at one point or another, but hadn't spoken to many of them.
The other reason was to assign members their places. She doubted she would assign a beta - not yet anyway. She'd see what would happen as she got to know them. Perhaps by their next meeting...
The soft sound of padded feet drifted into her ears, and she could smell them now, coming towards the dome in ones and twos. It seemed like they didn't know each other too well either.
She straightened herself into a sitting position, and waited.
