Without the structure of those that stood beside her it seemed the queen had fallen on hard time. Another had stepped up to take what she had come to rebuild. Part of her was hurt but perhaps, in the long run, with what she desired, it was for the best. She had ties to make and things to care for and being in charge of so many it was difficult to work for what they all wanted, those that followed her, those that still cared, they wanted revenge and she would give it to them.

She sat at the boarders; she had always respected the rules of asking permission. Trespassing had been one of her least favorite things and had been a thing worth of enslavement, all depending on the circumstances that is. She was a wolf of reason after all and if a half starved, half crazed wolf come searching for a potential meal without any regard for what reality was telling them she could be swayed to instead care for them. This new king, she knew the trouble of leading alone, he would need someone and her loyalty never swayed. She cared for them and all her pack wolves and perhaps those traits could be fair for this new king.

She pulled her head upright and summoned him. Honesty was what she would give him and she would make no mistake to keep her alternate plans to herself. No, perhaps he would respect her honesty and perhaps he would shun her but never the less she would try. She could feel the bit of insanity dancing up her mind and she wished not to lose herself again. Her children needed a home and she wouldn?t abandon them.

It had been clear to him one passing day when he'd been exploring his new kingdom, that the lands had belonged to another group of wolves before him. But as far as who they were, he had no way of knowing. He could see the remnants of their having lived there. Old dens with remnants of kills, nearly worn away paw prints. A family had lived here before him and the cobalt King was somewhat curious as to who they had been. What had caused them to abandon their home? Had someone chased them from it? Had they found somewhere better to live? So many unanswered questions that would probably remain that way. Maybe once he started traveling around to the other packs to make alliances he would get the story as to who had inhabited Tortuga before him. A summoning call would break the King's thoughts, crown turning towards the northern borders of his kingdom, audits swiveling to and fro as the rogue's call registered. A woman was at his borders and summoning him. Another potential member? Not one to waste time, the titan would turn towards the direction of the call, powerful ebony limbs pulling him towards the summoning rogue. Icy gaze would come across the seated figure of a large, beast of a woman, her coat a dark ebony with a barely there violet hue. Had he not heard the intonation of her voice or caught whiff of her scent he wouldn't have been able to tell she was female. Pushing that thought aside, the Cobalt King would approach the woman, frame relaxed, icy gaze meeting her amethyst one. Afternoon. I am Taurig, King of Tortuga. What brings you to my borders? A respectful nod would be presented to the woman as he waited for an answer. Talk like this

Ever watchful violet eyes roved over the wolf that had claimed her crown. No emotions flickered across her gaze as she drank his beautiful black/blue coat in. Her eyes caught the injuries on his nose and ear, he had fought some form of battle but those scars were minimal. What type of battle had he be involved in. for now she kept quite with the words that danced around her mind. She sat with a rather regal appearance, it was habitual now, she meant no disrespect and when she had been queen she had never demanded subservient responds to her title. She was merely caring for those that followed her and demanded nothing but loyalty from them. His voice was direct as to why she called and she allowed a soft smile to crawl across her dark lips.

?I am Newt Saxe, Former Queen of Amenti and also the former Queen of Tortuga. I had plans to rebuild the pack but I sadly hadn?t had enough help to maintain those that came looking for structure. I am here now to request to stay with in the home that my children and I had once inhabited. Loner life is not easy for very young cubs and my original plans had merely been to rebuild Tortuga and then step down once I secured my old kingdom Amenti. I am still looking to reclaim my former home but I am her to offer you my services to again rebuild this pack.? She said finally. She needed to bring the pups to a suitable home they were still too young to wander the loner lands and far to weak to be able to defend themselves.

There was a certain air about this amethyst tinted woman, something that told him she had held a high position at one point in time. Perhaps an alpha, maybe beta, but something high ranking. She had the feel of a pack wolf, that much he could discern from her. She was relaxed in her posture, though very regal at the same time. As his voice reached her ears, a soft smile would grace her features. She didn't seem to come with ill intentions. I am Newt Saxe, Former Queen of Amenti and also the former Queen of Tortuga. I had plans to rebuild the pack but I sadly hadn?t had enough help to maintain those that came looking for structure. I am here now to request to stay with in the home that my children and I had once inhabited. Loner life is not easy for very young cubs and my original plans had merely been to rebuild Tortuga and then step down once I secured my old kingdom Amenti. I am still looking to reclaim my former home but I am her to offer you my services to again rebuild this pack. So, she was the one who had inhabited Tortuga before him. How interesting. He had felt that air from her and now he knew why; because she was a queen. Well a former queen to be exact, but a queen nonetheless. She didn't seem to harbor any ill will towards him now that he had staked claim over Tortuga, but instead seemed willing to help him establish Tortuga and build it up. And she had children. How could he turn her away? Had I known you and your family had called this place home, I would've never set paw on it, but since no one was here to fill me in, I assumed it had been abandoned and took it for my own. I respect that you have coming looking for a place among my pack because I also respect your time as a queen. I couldn't sleep well at night knowing that I had turned you away as well as your children. Miss Newt, you and your children are welcome here... He would trail off, having already made his decision since she had first spoken. He was a new king it was to be expected that he wasn't entirely knowledgeable in how to run a kingdom. But Newt knew how. She had been queen twice before. Surely she was experienced enough. And he needed someone experienced in his ranks to help him. This may seem rather forward, but given the fact that you have already ruled two packs before me, I would like to extend the offer of becoming Tortuga's beta. I am new at ruling and would appreciate some advice from time to time. Talk like this

He had accepted the children and her back into the home she had once claimed herself. She was content to bring the pups back and reclaim their old den. Zara and Champion were still missing and she felt a sting at her heart for thinking of them. She hoped that the others that desired to remain by her side would come and stay within Tortugas ranks and she nodded at his words. It was not his fault that he had come to claim his own home. He hadn?t done so maliciously and she had not felt any regret for asking to remain in her home. she would find them all and ask them one by one to come stay with her until the time to reclaim Amenti came. Then they could break off and start the war they desired.

?I would be honored to be your beta. I know how trying It came be to stalk the boarders on your own with no help to claim the masses. I will help ease these burdens and then we can discuss what it is you want for this pack and how I can help.? Her voice as at ease as she spoke. They could do so much for the masses and make the pack better. Though her need was still nagging at the back of her mind. She needed to find a new master. The desire for bloodshed was becoming overwhelming but she hoped that with the busy work of accepting the new wolves she could put the desires on hold for a time. This would give her time to search for someone new to ease her hunger and she wondered where Karios had gone. She would find him and bring him here again to be beside her. He had desired to claim her and she would allow it if Zara didn?t find her way back into her life.

Any other new ruler probably would've been hesitant to allow the former ruler of their new kingdom to step back into the lands, but Taurig saw nothing right with it. Newt and her family had just as much right, if not more, than he did to live in Tortuga. There was no valid reason to turn them away. They needed a home and there was plenty of space in Tortuga. Plus, she would help him while she remained in Tortuga, offering advice and whatever else she could. I would be honored to be your beta. I know how trying It came be to stalk the boarders on your own with no help to claim the masses. I will help ease these burdens and then we can discuss what it is you want for this pack and how I can help. A grateful look would take hold of the King's features, a dip of the head given to his now beta Newt. I am honored to have the former Tortugan queen back in her home, as well as have her help. Welcome back and please, make yourself at home. The Cobalt King would make a half turn, inviting Newt into the Tortugan lands, wondering if there was anything else that she wanted to discuss or if she would simply be fine on her own for the time being. Talk like this

The small boy would surge forward, his mothers scent leading his way. She was never far from his reach, he had her scent forever embedded into his mind. If she were to ever stray he would hunt her down like a bloodhound, defenses ready for anything he may come upon. If she were to ever be caught with another man, the boy would release hell upon earth. Despite his age and size he would fight the man to the death, because he would rather see his mother wrapped up in him then any other man. She was forever his, whither she knew it or not, and he would fight for her until his last breath. Just like his father. He would come onto the scene, face and paws covered with blood. He had just gotten back from killing something, that much was obvious. His lips curled into a wicked smile, one his father used to wear before he killed a victim. Little did he know that his father was shining through his youthful disguise. "Ma! Ma! Do you want to know the difference between killing another wolf and your prey?" He would ask as he bounded up to her, almost forgetting the odd man was even there. He did not care that they were discussing business. This was his world, they were merely living in it. "Your prey doesn't beg for its life!" He would screech, practically coming out of his seams. The excitement he felt inside shown through the surface as he lifted himself up, trying to lick and nip at the bottom of his mothers chin. He wanted her to see and taste the blood on his snout. He wanted to be loved. "Speech"
