The calmness remained, even after the male responded, his mother, regardless if she knew it or not, had woven the frayed pieces of his mind back together, had woven the pieces firmly, he could almost feel that cold steel needle placing the stitches within the soft tissues of his brain and it completely wiped the anxiety and depression and frustration and anger and hurt and everything else he was feeling from his mind. Numb, he supposed was the right way to describe what he was feeling. Numb, he decided he liked. His tail flickered, seemingly subconscious of his own will. His gaze flickered between the two wolves before him, his mother remained silent, saying no more than his name, his attention turned to the male who had pelted out a symphony of crap. Pip said she would be there for him too. Distrust, it seemed, now came to him with ease and he cocked his head to the side, a mockery of innocent curiosity. His gaze remained deceptively blank, this calmness was addictive. "Epiphron?" It was the first time he spoke her full name, he had always called her Pip, but Pip held no place within his heart or within his mind, he had squeezed her out. She was unimportant, a phantom from past lives. Gabriel didn't care about Epiphron, he only loved Pip, the elder sister who was always there to nuzzle and play, without dirtying him too much. Pip was dead, Pip was gone. Epiphron had chosen Seracia, this male would not fool him. "Chrysanthe was supposed to marry Maverick. Epiphron chose to take her place. She was selfish, she sacrificed nothing. I don't need her, not anymore. She's made her choice and I've made mine. Why would I want to live with a traitor? Someone who willingly gave up there family for something that just came along? Valhalla is our home and she chose to throw us all away." His voice was calm and level, he had full control of his emotions...for the present and he forced them down. His words were harsh but they were truthful, he had understood that much in the pack meeting. Chrysanthe was to marry him for an alliance, Pip willingly took Chrysanthe's position. Chrysanthe would have gone for duty, Epiphron was gone for pleasure. "I don't need any friends. I don't want any. They only bring pain, I just wanna be left alone." That was spoken much softer, much quieter, the pup was starting to form a headache, why couldn't they just leave?
