Breaking Down

The queen had run from the meeting, pursuing her sister. Was it the right thing to do? Perhaps she should have stayed, try to sort out the mess that had unfolded. Though if she stayed, she would have to put up with Riv, and at this point, she didn't even want to look at the Adravendi male. She was straight-up done with him and his shit. How could he be so careless - sending away a valuable member of the pack? It wasn't because that wolf was her brother; blood ties played no role in this matter. Even if it was someone else, she would be just as outraged. How dare he make a decision without her input, without even telling her about it. He just didn't seem to care, did he? He just thought she was some dumb, green girl agreeing with everything he said. Oh, she'd show him a dumb, green girl.

She had followed her sister's scent, occasionally catching a glimpse of chestnut fur through the trees. She wasn't running her fastest, to be honest, especially when she didn't carry the physique of a runner. Her thoughts cast back to the meeting. What could be going on back at the clearing? One hell of a show, that's for certain. What if the rest of the pack stood up for Riv, thus exiling Ren from the pack? No, they couldn't do that. Surely the rest of Myriad didn't think that. She should have stayed back to stop that; she couldn't let that happen...

"Get away!" came the scream of her sister, interrupting the alphess' thoughts. She stopped by the girl who laid on the ground curled up into a ball, sobbing. Green paws tentatively approached her. What was she to say? "Sorry for screwing up back there, hope you understand"? "Listen," she barked, voice hoarse. "Ren's not leaving Myriad, okay? I don't even know where Riv pulled that figure from. I had no idea that's what he wanted to do." She slumped beside her sister, her voice a whisper. "I mean, I knew they didn't along that well, but that was back when Borealis was around. Surely they would have put that past them by now."
