(Yup, i'm new lol! Although your characters will have alr known Vinda since she's been in the pack for... well idk, a while i'd say. She's been gone for like a week)
Vindaria Female/Protector
Vinda's breath caught in her throat and she was stopped in her tracks as Scar turned to answer her question, the grief and pain that glittered in his eyes striking her hard. It was only after he turned and limped off again, that she registered his answer. "Rest well" she barked softly after him, watching for a few more moments until he disappeared into his dark den. Something had been remembered, of that she was certain. No wolf could look so utterly haunted and alone unless some crippling memory had surfaced. She only wished she knew what had caused the memory to surface... was it her? Or was it the humans? Or the pain from the wound? Her brow furrowed, concern for her Alpha filling her thoughts. The sound of faint barks finally caught her ears and she lifted her head, distracted for the moment, a slight smile spreading over her muzzle as she saw Lupin pad out from the trees, Draco behind her. The two headed for their dens, the male separating and laying in a shaded spot to gnaw on a bone. As she watched, she saw a pup pad over to him, only for him to chase it off... but a pup? Her eyes widened and her ears pricked. Who's pup was that? Scar had certainly failed to mention anything about pups. As she was about to head over to them, she paused, noticing Lupin emerge from her den and pad over to Scar's poking her head in. She gave a slight sigh. It looked like Scar wouldn't be getting the rest he needed. Continuing forwards she tentatively poked her head into the den where the pup had disappeared into, then smiled as she saw Luna. "I hope i'm not intruding" she said in a soft tone so as not to alarm the female. "Now either i'm hallucinating, or are those four adorable bundles your pups?" she asked with a warm smile.

Scarred Thorn Alpha Male Scar hunched his shoulders slightly as Lupin left, letting out a small groan at the growing pain in his hip. He settled in the shadows of his den again, letting the cold, dark environment wash over him. Memories clanged against his brain, making him feel trapped in a chaotic swirl of nightmares. Another one quickly surfaced as he closed his blue eyes. Everything was dark... but no, there was light. Scar was just a pup, having just stopped drinking milk and started eating food. He was energetic and playful as he bounded outside with his two brothers and one sister. Their names were Rock, Dawn, and Milo. Scar was the biggest, then Rock, then Dawn. He, Rock, and Dawn were best friends.. they loved to wrestle and play together. Milo was the runt of the litter, and he mostly played with the grass or chased butterflies. On this particular day it was overcast and rainy. Scar bounded outside, his tongue lolling as he tackled Rock with a playful bark. Suddenly he heard a low growl from his mother, Shiloh. She was a big, strong wolf- a beautiful grey wolf with green eyes. Her hackles were raised and she was looking at the bushes. Quickly three male wolves emerged, and Scar recognized one of them- his father, Titan. Titan was a ginormous black wolf with dark blue eyes, like Scar. No other markings marred his pitch black pelt. He was cruel and abusive, and had left Shiloh as soon as she got pregnant. Now he was back with two other big males. Shiloh knew this would be bad, for Titan had promised to come back and kill the pups, and her, because they were all one big mistake. Titan and the wolves suddenly leaped at Shiloh, and Scar yelped in surprise and tumbled back. It all happened so quickly. He had fallen back into some tree roots, hidden from the gazes of the rogue males. Fear showed in his small eyes as he watched his mother, Rock, Dawn, and Milo all get viciously torn apart. Then the males left. Scar crept out, whimpering plaintively, and sniffed their cold, lifeless bodies. They were dead. He felt anger and sadness and confusion well up inside as he turned and ran, knowing if those males caught him he would be the same as them. Scar ran and ran, never looking back. Suddenly jerking up with an intake of breath, Scar came back to reality, calming the fear that had spiked within him. The memory seemed so... real. His leg was throbbing with pain, and his eyes slowly adjusted to the light again, he saw outside the den almot an hour had already passed- the evening sun was setting in. With a slight shake as if to ward off the memory, Scar limped out, glancing around before disappearing into the brush, outside the camp. He limped to a small stream, drinking some water before laying down to watch the fish flick around. Why did these horrible things have to happen to him? The grief and pain now had a good hold on his heart, and it seemed to refuse to let go.

{Lupin's Pov} - She left her den and began walking along the shoreline of their pack which led to another pack's territory, She knew this and refused to cross their paths so instead she turned back around and went back to the pack she looked around but didn't see scar, She snorted and tilted her head slightly trying to catch his scent. - {Draco's Pov} - He continued eating his bone until he became tired of doing so and decided to go for a quick walk around the territory, He wanted to make sure nothing weird was going on around the pack. - {Luna's Pov} - She rested her eyes a bit while her pups nursed.

Scarred Thorn Alpha Male Scar laid by the bank of the river, trying to keep the cold air from chilling his body. He closed his eyes and took in a slightly shuddering breath, attempting to forget the memories that just kept flooding in. Had he EVER had a good time in his life? Why couldn't those memories filter in instead of the traumatizing horrible ones? Scar knew he had to get back to the pack someday, but he didn't want to go back yet.

(I suppose i'll just pretend Luna answered XD)
Vindaria Female/Protector
Vindaria spent a few more moments watching the adorable pups, then dipped her head to the tired mother and padded out, finding her way to her den that was nestle in the forest's edge and letting out a sigh of relaxation as she entered the familiar space. Heading over to the back of the den she flopped down, suddenly realizing how exhausted she was from the week of traveling, and swiftly nodding off.

Scarred Thorn Alpha Male Scar felt worn out and exhausted, and really he just wanted to close his eyes and nod off... but he feared what haunted him when he slept. He knew they were just memories, but the emotional pain hurt much more than any physical pain. He almost wished he had been ripped apart by his father so that he wouldn't have to endure the hardships of today... but he knew that was a wimpt way of thinking. After a while Scar stood, heading deeper into the forest, his nose twitching as he trailed a slow, fat rabbit. It had wandered too close whilst he was at the stream, and now he was set on having rabbit for dinner. Scar crouched low, knowing it would send shockwaves of pain through him but not caring. He wanted something else to focus on. Leaping out of the brush, Scar faltered slightly from the immense pain, but the rabbit didn't notice in time. He snapped his jaws around his neck, heard a squeak of surprise, and it was over. Wincing with the animal in his jaws, Scar started padding back towards the stream, his limp more prominent now.

(I'm so sorry Shiloh, I didn't see your post) - {Lupin} - She gave up on looking for Scar and just decided to rest in her den along with her pups she had with Remus who had sadly passed on, She sighed and rested her head gently on her paws and watched as the young ones played just outside her den. - {Draco} - After he scanned the territory he went back for his bone but to his surprise his bone was gone and he already knew he had taken it, He noticed a pup chewing on the bone and he rushed over with his teeth showing and he took it back. - {Luna} - Her head perked up as a beautiful female poked her head in to ask if these pups belonged to her which made her chuckle a little bit, She then responded to the female "Yes these are my four beauties" she said and looked to the nursing pups that layed beside her.

Deliah - Deliah clamped her jaws around one leg of the deer and started to slowly drag it back to camp. She was surprised to find Vindaria had come back. "It's good to see you again. We've had a few new additions while you've been gone but I have a feeling you'll get along well with them." (Just gonna pretend Shotz helped with the deer and that she's awake lol)

Vindaria Female/Protector
Vindaria woke up about an hour later and stretched, shaking her fur and smiling as she looked around her familiar den, sighing at the peace it gave her to be home. Leisurely she padded to her den entrance and stretched again, going from a downward dog to a back leg stretch, tail stiff, then shaking herself all over again. Her sore muscles were beginning to relax, but she knew that after spending a week running and trotting she should at least take a little walk after sleeping. Padding further out of her den she glanced around, noticing Draco and Lupin who were both resting outside their dens. No one else seemed to be around as of yet. Not even Scar. She was about to hope that he was still resting in his den, when she caught a whiff of his scent in the direction of the forest. She paused for a moment, unsure if she should follow. Had she intruded on his space too much earlier? Would he welcome her presence now? What about that haunted look he'd shot her? But still... with him wounded, she couldn't just leave him out in the woods without first seeing if he was alright. With a firm nod to herself she trotted into the woods, and almost bumped into Deliah and a smal dog pulling a deer. "Deliah!" she said in delight, smiling. "Definitely good to see you as well, and so I've heard!" she said, smiling over to the small dog. "Scar updated me on the goings on" she added in explanation.

{Lupin} - She rose her head up and sniffed the air grining as she caught scent of a deer but where from and what was bringing it here to the den, She stood up quickly and was a bit dizzy before catching her footing and leaving her spot from outside of her cozy den, She howled gently and bumped into Deliah "I knew i smelled a deer" she said and looked into the small wolf's eyes they were pretty, She sighed and walked off again going to find Scar. - {Draco} - Lupin's movement awoke him and he realized he should go see just what the she wolf was up to at this time of hour in the dewy day, He stood up and streched before going to check on the pups of Lupin which were all sleeping peacefully. - {Luna} - After a few hours the she wolf finally awoke from her slumber and padded out the den into the bright world that made her eyes shut, She scoffed and looked around catching only a glimpse of just Draco as he dashed into Lupin's den to check on her pups.
