Things had been changing like crazy anymore and it was hard for the male to keep his head wrapped around everything. In a short span of time they lost two members, gained two members, and four members left to join another pack. Rory had been missing for some time now so Frost was throwing himself into the alpha duties and keeping himself busy. He had little time to himself, but that paired with his new den he had found getting over Star's disappearance a lot easier. His hopes and dreams for a family of his own had been put on the far back corner of his mind as he focused on what really mattered right now. He did not intend to let what Faite had built die, no matter if he had to do it alone or not. He knew Torin would be anxious and he was certain the young male was more then ready, but Frost had been stuck on the hope that Rory would return and resume his duties. He was not keep on letting Torin take on all the work himself and he wasn't sure how the male would feel about working side by side. This pack was rightfully his family's and Frost did not want to get in the way of that.
He knew the talk would be coming, but he had hoped that it would go longer then today. He had fears that if he had free time again, time alone that the depression would resurface. The lingering thoughts that he would never have his own kids or a loving mate at his side would poison his mind. He did not want to slip back into that darkness, to have nights where he couldn't sleep. Though if he was honest with himself the help would give him more time to get a full nights rest and to keep his strength up. It would really be a good thing if he would only take the time to fully think things through.
He had just finished another patrol when the summoning howl from Torin rang out over the territory. It made his stomach drop because he knew all to well what he was being summoned for. He was unsure if the younger male even knew of his aunt and cousins departure yet. The deep chested male sighed heavily before altering his course to head to Torin's location. He couldn't and wouldn't rightfully hold the boy back if he felt he was ready. He thought of everything that would need to be said trying to make sure he formed the right words and make sure he wouldn't miss anything. It helped pass the time as he headed towards the younger male who was waiting on him. When the pale form appeared Frost's focus went to him and he smiled in greeting his tail wagging.
