we get a little restless
Regulus went on to say that he would test Alarik on his skills, to see if he really would be an asset to the pack. The thought of being tested made the young man a bit nervous, he had to admit. But he was sure he was talented enough to earn a place in the pack. He just needed to be confident, and show that he was willing and eager to learn. That was all the alpha of a pack could ask for, right?
Alarik nodded as Regulus went on to talk about Celestial being a pack that valued hard work. "Nothing good can come without hard work, I know that," Alarik said with a smile. "I promise if you accept me, you won't be disappointed." It was a hefty thing to say, but he wouldn't take it back. He had to believe he would be a valuable addition to this pack. He had to believe this was where he was meant to be.
He nodded to show that he understood everything the crimson male had said so far. But then, the subject turned to Ebony. Regulus told them it had fallen or disbanded long ago. It was the sort of answer Alarik had expected, but it still knocked the breath out of him a little. Finding Ebony had been the sole reason for his family coming here. They had to find a new purpose now. But, his ears still pricked when Dómari asked about Raisa. Even if the pack was gone, that didn't mean their grandmother was. If they found her, maybe a new Ebony could be born.
It was long shot, but it was still a possibility. "Talk" "You" Think |
