"Hey Radu, I can't hear Suki," says Leo as he worridly looks toward the Den from afar.

Adan steps up, "true, my ears have only heard the loud screams of the red hair, the pug, and the pregant female."

Besides them Bruce grunts, "her name is Natasha and who or what is a pug?"

Adan and Leo stare at him in confusement while Radu softly scoffs yet keeps his sight on the entrance of the den.

Ignoring that odd word, Cruz shakes his head at them, "the red hair's name is Natasha... remember her name since Suki has been good friends with her and the pregnant female."

Wyatt nod his head in seriousness, "we will remember." He then adds bashfully, "and uh... what's the other female's name?"

To his question, Cruz and Bruce look at each other.

"Uh, her name, mmmm, yes, the panther female's name is, mmmm" says Cruz as he sents a silent signal with his eyes to his brother for help.

Vick sighs in exasperation at them and in a deep bored voice responds, "Listen males. The full panther female's name is Elena. Daughter of Lori, a full female bear beastmen. The red hair's is a half-female wolf named Natasha, daughter of Jazz a full wolf female beastmen." Pausing he looks deep into each of their eyes, "do not only remember your females name but learn the names of all of our tribe females."

The males nod their head respectively at him.

However, the serious respectful moment was then shatter by a snicker.

The males widen their eyes at each other. It was clearly seen that each was asking who would dare snicker at this short temper bear beastmen?

Thankfully Vick didn't get mad at the disrespect since he long expected his arrival and luckily just in time too. If he had to wait any longer, these wimpy males would soon find themselves going for a much needed training. Thinking back at how these males defended and attack at the females game, made him harshly stare at these group of males, especially at the leopard male's bizarre sense of hugging his enemy.

Wyatt who didn't partake much in the game, glances at the rising hair of his family males and at Leo's slightly trembling knees. Sigh, looks like Vick and him are thinking the same. Thankfully for the now alert and skittish males, out of the trees appears a male who held some resemblance to Vick.

A medium thick dark brown straight hair male with a mark on each side of his face walks confidently to the tall black bear beastmen. With his mischevious light brown eyes he looks into his brothers black steady eyes and smirks.

Nodding his head at him first and then slightly to the other males, he then speaks up, "brother we are being called."

"Message?" responds Vick as his eyes slowly move around them and finally land at the panther female's den.

"She was seen," smiles Lucas as he tilts his head in curiosity at the den.

Vick snorts and turns to the next tallest male of his own clan, "Wyatt you know what to do."

Wyatt's ear lay back, yet nods his head lowly at Vick's words.

Vick then stares with his steady black eyes at the pondering Radu, then at the brothers perplex look. Before following Lucas to their tribes Clan Leaders, he gruffly says as he walks away into the calmess of the trees, "Radu inform them what we know and prepare a plan."

Aware that Vick was no longer watching, Radu scowls as he tsks outloud. Internally he complains that though Vick doesn't want to be their Suki's head male, he definitely acts like he was.

On the other hand, Adan was scowling as to why Radu was chosen to inform the leopard brothers. Why not him? Was he not worthy in front of Vick's eyes or was it for another reason? Barely glancing at the black and white hair male, Adan searches for an answer to his question.

As for Leo, well he held extremely still so that his knees wouldn't buckle underneath him. Yikes, he noticed Vick's stares and sadly this time he doesn't think that he and Radu would be able to run away.

Bruce and Cruz who were about to ask their questions soon stop as they clearly heard their little sisters shrieks. With their nose sniffing to the air and with their ears constantly trying to tune in to what's going on in the den, their hair rose in anticipation to why their calm Suki would yell. Cruz who was about to take a step forward, was then stop by Bruce tight grip. "Listen, Natasha is is happy."

Radu, taking a note of the brothers conversation sighs outloud then claps his hands loudly. Getting their attention he then smiles gently as he prunes his bushy tail at them, "now, listen closely to my words."

Watching Radu's calculative unmerciful deep purple eyes, Adan nods his head to himself. The pale male may not be brawny or as tall as him, but he definitely makes it up with something not all beastmen have. Smiling, he then concentrates on the noises heard from far off while Wyatt concentrates on any other smells and sounds coming from around that den and themselves.

---_--- Back in the Den ---_---

"Elena, keep pushing, we can see his head," coo's Natasha.

Whimpering Suki smashes her teeth together as Elena tightens her hold on their joint hands. As Elena puffes up to make another push, Sheila widens her mouth as she thinks how in the world is the baby head coming out so furry.

To the other side of Elena is Bronco with his hoarse shaky voice. With tears in his eyes, he tries to change his bruised hand to his good hand but his female is not having any mercy on him. Glancing around, he tries to make eye contact with his family other males but all are staring in anticipation and love at their females first pup.
