(Transition in from lake, kiba had gone looking for Balor once more after the death of Alira, what happened out there will be unknown for a while and will be added in Kiba's tale.)
Kiba moved slowly and unsteadily as he entered the den, his movements were unsure and his steps erratic. he was covered in dirt, leaves, sticks, and once again blood. he knew he must look like a wreck but couldn't care less, he needed to talk to Rayne, to Revera, to anyone! his head spun, his eyes weren't focused. i found... i- i, found... he muttered again and again, with a few more steps he couldn't carry on, his huge frame buckled, he lost his footing and fell against the side of the den. leaning against it for support he tried to look around, his eyes were blurred. shaking his head and blinking he tried to regain focus. He's... i- i, found... alive he said again, stumbling forward he tried to make it over to where his mate stood, but only made it a few steps. he fell heavily to his side right side, he was burning, his mouth was dry, his eyes rolled. a hacking cough came from him as he lay there, he kept looking to his mate, his eyes watered as he tried to keep them open. alive... he muttered once more as the coughing halted, it was barely a whisper, but with that his world went black as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Rayne smelt a familiar scent which made her heart race as she turned, Kiba? Upon seeing her mate looking so torn and destroyed, her crystal eyes widened and she dropped the pile of bones in her mouth to sprint over to him.
He fell at her feet mumbling something she couldn't quite catch, Kiba what happened?! His blood was everywhere and she raised her muzzle to howl, Everyone get back here now! Kiba is hurt!
She lowered her head and licked him softly, You're home, my love. You are safe and you are home.... Rayne nuzzled next to him so that his head laid on her side and she caught his whisper of, he's alive
Her eyes widened as she waited for the pack to return.

Myria rushed toward the den, her paws barely touching the ground as she made her way up the incline. The beta didn't pause when she saw the new wolves in the den, as the scent of Kiba's blood overwhelmed her sensitive nose.
Seeing a pup at Rayne's feet, and another snapping at her, the beta stood between her pack mate and the youngster.
Calm down, young one. Rayne is not going to eat your brother. I'm sorry, but your group will have to wait a moment or two, our pack mate is in need of assistance. The timber grey wolf gently grabbed the male at Rayne's feet by his scruff before setting him on the den floor behind her, and closer to his family. Myria eyed them warily; all she knew was that they were Mountain Valley. Turning her head toward her pack mates (though keeping one eye on the new wolves), the beta examined Miranda, Rayne and Kiba.
What's happened...did he say anything? The beta questioned as she watched Miranda work on her fellow pack mate.

So fixated in her worry for her mate, Rayne hadn't noticed the strange wolves approaching the den until the pup had run into her. Though she was vaguely aware of Myria and Miranda, her crystal eyes fixed on Avalon and all she saw were intruders.
The black female stood over Kiba, which was no easy feat considering his size and bore her teeth at the Mountain Valley alpha. Rayne had no interest in pups, but her protectiveness of her mate was almost blinding.
With a vicious snarl, the beta asked, Why are you here?!

Russle couldn't help but take a step back from the scary snarl in the black wolf's voice. She opened her mouth to answer but it was a few seconds beofre her voice decided to work.
"W-we're looking for Auntie Keeper." She moved protectivly over to Moona so that she could shield her little sister from the mean wolf. She didn't care that much about Star and the other wolf who had him seemed pretty harmless.
Daddy they're gonna eat us!

Rayne growled fiercely, her sharpened teeth gleaming as her gaze stayed locked on Avalon. Beneath her she felt Kiba's labored breath and felt the heat coming off of him. He's hurt....he's hurt and there are intruders here...
When the red pup spoke some nonsense about an aunt keeper, Rayne could only have assumed they meant Avalon's sister, Miranda. Normally she wouldn't have been involved in family matters, but with Kiba clearly sick and injured, her priorities shifted.
The black female snarled, Take one more step in this den or near this male and I will rip your hearts out.

Russle couldn't help but cowar this time. She pulled Moona and Star back behind her. Even if she didn't care much for her stupid brother but she wouldn't let this witch wolf get to him.
I have to protect my family. I can't let them be hurt.

Myria glanced between the adult wolf and Miranda...they looked similar. They must be related...their scents are even similar... Noting Kiba's troubled breathing, and the fact that Rayne had gone into fight mode, made the beta intervene.
Rayne, it's alright. Look after Kiba, I will see these wolves out of the den, and I will watch them until Miranda is ready to see to them. Focus on your mate, I will take care of this. Myria kept her voice reassuring, but ensured it had some force behind it; Rayne getting worked up wouldn't do her or anyone else any good. Turning to the small family, the beta allowed her amber eyes to examine each wolf.
I will have to ask you to please exit the den. You may settle yourselves just outside the entrance. The timber wolf allowed her authority as a beta of the Keepers fill her voice. Keeping her eyes on the wolves, she herded them out of the den and placed herself in the middle of the entrance; an immovable barrier between her pack's safe haven and these new wolves.
I wonder when the others will be back...

Rayne hadn't acknowledged Myria even though she had heard her. Normally it was Rayne who was the collected one in the face of hardships, but things tended to become more personal when it involved her mate. She kept her crystal eyes fixed on Avalon until they departed the den, only then turning down to Kiba.
Miranda was sniffing him when Rayne finally answered her question, I can't be sure, but if it what I think, then Kiba found his brother....alive...
The black female laid down beside her mate, protective rage slowly draining out of her, I think he's sick. He feels warm.
She nuzzled her face closer to his, running her muzzle down his spine a few times before cuddling close. Rayne rested her head on top of his, humming quietly to sooth him. Until he woke, she wouldn't have the answers they needed.

Luna dashed in after Revera,worried completely about Kit,until the scent of blood filled her senses. Her father's blood. DAD! Luna yelped. She forgot all about Kit for a moment,bolting over towards her dad and mum,whimpering. What happened? Was he attacked? Luna whined,scared,and looked frantically at Miranda,Revera and her mum. He-he's gonna be alright.....right? she said quietly,nuzzling her dad.

Rayne took in her daughter's worried expression with her own, I don't know love, he feels like he has a fever or it could just be overwhelming exhaustion combined with a lack of food or water. But if what he said was correct, then your father has found your uncle somewhere.

Luna's eyes widened,and she looked at her mum. Really? He's found his brother? she said quietly. She laid down beside her mum,nuzzling her.

Rayne sighed and placed her paw on top of Luna's. She rested her head back on Kiba's. He was strong, they both knew that, but it hurt her to her soul to see him injured.

Balo stood shocked at the entire scene. From his father's collapse to his mother defending him from the intruding wolves. It took a moment before his shock wore off long enough to grasp what was happening.
His multi-colored eyes took in the image of his family, now complete with Luna. She always seemed to understand things quicker than he did. Balo looked from his sister to his mother's face. She rested her head on his dad and even though Kiba was unconscious, she hummed the song she used to sing to him and Luna when they were very small
Balo approached slowly taking position by his dad's massive head. He licked Kiba softly, Wake up dad....

Luna laid her head down,sighing quietly. He'll be fine she murmured. He's strong,and with Miranda treating him,he'll be fine. It was then that she noticed the wolves whom weren't in their pack. She lifted her head and noticed it was Lunari's mate and a few of her pups. She examined each and every one of them,her eyes turning icy. Why are they here? Do they want to hurt Dad?
