Empire of Angels (CHALLENGE)
The howl ringing across the lands would not go unheard. She was currently wrapped around her new babies, the silence in the den almost oppressive. Newol had gone off, surely helping surreal or hunting for her. Wherever he was, he wasn't here right now. She was unsure whether or not she should go and find out what the call was about,but she heard the tone. It was Valentine calling for Sonticus...a challenge of sorts. It didn't sound like a challenge for the pack...nor a war cry. So she was curious and afraid, afraid for what it might be for. Arian? Did she do something she didn't know about? Her heart quickened, and with a bit more thought, she decided she would go. She had to be there, she was the beta and Cypress depended on her now more then ever since Arian and Allen couldn't handle the pressure of being alpha. So her role would be appreciated she was sure.
With a tender lick to each of her sleeping children, she would carefully rise and slip out of the den. One hesitant step would bring her to look back at them...they would be safe. She would only be gone for a little while, hopefully they wouldn't wake up looking for her for warmth and food. They were warm enough bundled together, and they'd just eaten. So hesitantly, she turned away and followed the path to the battlefield. On the way, she had found Cypress' scent, her pace quickened to try and catch up. But when she arrived, she was in time to hear Cypress, as well as see that there was already a crowd gathered...and more coming. Most were from Imperium, one from abaven which seemed..odd to her. The girl Avalon had bested in the spar they had a while back. Then her eyes found Akemi over by an imperium wolf, the markings of the boy similar to Akemi's. While she didn't know her personally, she hoped that Akemi wouldn't get any trouble for mingling with her kin.
Her amber gaze fell on Valentine, a questioning look in her eyes as she stopped a few feet from Cypress' shoulder. Her scent was obvious, warm milk and the scent of her litter all over her. What did he want? Did it have to do with Arian? Or..something else? Trying to prove a point? She remembered the conversation they had the first time they met, did this have something to do with how he said when sonticus wouldn't last? Either way, her gaze was fiery and as determined as ever. Standing tall and not showing any fear. She had gotten better at doing that, showing more confidence in herself. She had to, especially since she needed to show her children she was strong and not the weak and doubtful creature she had been before. "What's this about? Sonticus has been out of your fur, it's not the packs fault." Little did she know, this wasn't what he was here for. |
