Without a shadow of doubt

Xephyris listened for his Alpha's response; glancing upon his face, he thought he might get a positive response, but the response that came made sense. He had hoped not to hear it, but he knew that Zephyra meant a lot to Riv, and the young man must prioritize. Quietly, he listened to Riv's reasoning, nodding lightly as they plodded along beside the border line. "Alright, I'll leave it be on your command," he agreed in a low tone, "Unless they cause me trouble, but that won't be on your word. I can take the flack from Zephyra, you needn't take blame for my actions." Hopefully Riv would have a chance to talk to Zephyra and sort things out, which would allow them to come up with some sort of action plan. They needed to do something, eventually, but sooner rather than later. "I agree she will be disappointed if she chooses that brother of hers, but perhaps it won't be that way," he said with a little bit of regret in his tone. But the truth was, her family wasn't loyal, not to the pack, and not to her. They, especially Ren, was going to end up hurting her.

He listened further as Riv thanked him for his advice. He wasn't surprised when Armai's name was mentioned as another trusted source of advice. The small, blind healer had been a great asset to the pack since day one, and he certainly trusted her as well. She had just the right personality to play her role, too, and she did it well. He perked as Riv asked if he would still stay around if Myriad were to fall. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that," he said, not wanting to believe that they would be taken down, whether from inside or out, "If it should fall... I shall strive to find us stronger allies. Myriad had a strong start, but some of the members have fallen behind in training, or altogether dwindled in their activity... we need wolves that will help us build walls of strength."

That would bring his thoughts back to outside enemies. It was bad enough they had wolves inside Myriad trying to drag it down. "Sin, the man that killed your mother," he began, a growl rumbling in his throat, "His kin are gathering, and they have revenge on their mind since your father took down Sin. They're out for blood, anyone related to your mother and father. With them, it's an eye for an eye, and more. They're not exactly fond of me either. So that's just one more danger to be aware of. We can't fight them if we're crumbling from within."
