bruised but not broken

The way he shook his head was almost too hard, and she stored all this away for later. It would seem that there were two boys who didn’t care for their mother. A brow rose, but she held her tongue as he spoke. "Then why are you still a part of it? If you feel like you don’t belong, just leave. There is so much more out there than being with your stupid family, and better wolves to meet," Mercy’s lips curled upwards, she was not a fan of parents. She had been upset about being barren but then she realized that she wouldn’t have to stress about her kids. Hell, she would have been a far better parent than hers ever were. She was far from an advocate of families, they were far too needy and clingy. Once she left and joined Imperium, she finally found herself. Maybe the same thing would happen to Kharnage, and perhaps even Lykos. They needed to get out there and figure shit out for themselves. "You aren’t going to grow in a place you feel so stunted," she said with a casual shrug, and then regretted the action. She flinched a bit as the movement pulled on her bruised shoulders and aching muscles, but nothing more. Mercy wasn’t really surprised that he found it easy to talk to her, she could only imagine the pressure on the alpha’s kids to be perfect. Was he even able to talk to his mother about anything? She doubted it, and the thought made her snort. What a terrible thing to do to your kids. In Valentine’s kids she saw the determination to make their father proud, but he was such a strong wolf that she didn’t blame them. Hell, she worked hard to impress her then alpha as well. It wasn’t hard to want to show him what you had, but with Avalon? She couldn’t even beat a loner in a fight. How much longer would this pack be around for with a leader like that?

He went on to complain about Lykos, and her ears flickered slightly. She cared for the boy, obviously not in the way that she usually cared for males. He felt more like an actual friend, maybe even a younger brother. She had siblings out there, all the half siblings from her whore of a father, and even her mother. Seems like sleeping around ran in their blood. It was interesting to hear that he pranced around the pack like he was all that since becoming heir, and a single black marked brow rose. "Really? That’s… interesting. He came to me to complain about being made heir and said that he didn’t want the rank, but felt like he had to take it," So who was he lying to here? Or was it as simple as different perspectives? She honestly didn’t know why Avalon did either, unless there was a fear that she would slack so soon? Or maybe take years to train him up? She had no idea, and she didn’t really care. She was more interested in just how different he acted with her and then with his family. "Maybe she had a backup plan. He even said it didn’t make sense but he still took it," That was the part that she didn’t understand, she had no idea how someone could make you do something like that.

"SPEAK!"
