I Was A Pup And You Were A Princess, All Those Years Ago

The once-queen smile grew even wider as Nako's recollection was voiced. The woman before him had been the leader of dozens of wolves alongside her mate, through winter and war her rule lasted until one day she and her husband departed for places unknown. Nako's family was soon banished to join their father in exile for their mothers crime of loving her mate, Bane, to deeply to respect the rules of Seracia. Ebony came afterward and with it the auburn ear before him and her red pelted husband until even that pack lost Bane's interest. Nako's mind raced through the years until finally coming to this spot belonging to his puphood. Ebony had been the last time Epiphron had been seen. And here she was suddenly asking how he had faired through the years of remaining apart.

Uncertainty wrinkled his gaze as he fought to recall everything. "I suppose life has been good to me. My parents gave me a final sibling before my father died followed by my step-mother from a broken heart." His chest swelled at the feeling. Four winters ago he had to bury his parents. It hurt less each year when he visited his parents graves. Nako held off mentioning his estranged children and nighttime escapades with females. That would be sounding a lot like his father's lifestyle, the stigma of promiscuity that had plagued his father as a rule breaker and a casanova would certainly be applied to Nako himself however true it all was. "And yourself? Maverick and your children doing alright?" The male spoke as he shifted and adjusted his back towards the wind coming off the lake as he held his gaze on Epiphron. Did she also come to visit this land to remember how it once was? To recall exactly many dead were buried by the barn and explore old dwellings. Much could change over the years and Nako would be lying if he said he wasn't curious as to what had happened to the royal woman between Ebony and now.
