Ale yelped and backed away "Please don't do that" She said softly "I can't handle this stuff" She shook a little "Damn it..." She was clearly scared, afraid of being hurt again

Blaze looked at her and licked her lovingly. "No one will hurt you here.. Fang is just like a grumpy old man. Except she is a girl." Blaze looked at her with big puppy eyes.

Tay looked at the others who nodded at his decision. Then looked at her. "We all protect each other around her. No need to worry." He lifted his head and howled, the clan howling as well. /Join us Alex. Please./ He asked her mentally.

Even Blaze was howling in appreciation.

"I-I need time to think" She said softly, then sighed. She wanted to join but was too scared to, a result of the abuse she went through.

Tay licked her. "One little howl. I know you want to. Just think of it as only me and you."

At that point Fang stood and bowed to Alex. "I am sorry.. I'm not used to new comers in this land. I acted wrongly.." She licked Alex's muzzle. "I apologize."

Alex wasn't listening, she was in her own little world, a world of pain and suffering.
