By The Gods

The reassurance she received made her heart swell and her confidence bloom. If the Alpha thought that she could bring so much to offer, then surely it could be true. If Malleus could see her potential, then maybe others will too, then maybe they will not look down on her as an outsider, but rather as an equal. That was what something she craved; to fit in with these wolves who she hoped would grow to become her new family. He spoke of the Fallen God, and the path he would put her on, and it got her thinking. When she first met Malleus, she thought perhaps someone was guiding her to him. At that time, Serene believed it to be her mother of late that pushed her to these lands, but perhaps it was his God all along. Perhaps even from that first encounter, the Fallen God was trying to bring her here, but for what she wondered? Why would a God with such a wide range of followers, dedicated to his cause, bred and raised to follow His word, desire someone like her? It was mind boggling, but the fawn woman had learned long ago to never doubt a God. It simply was not a good idea.

Malleus would then move to talk about her connection to spirits, which made her smile broaden, because she was very proud of her skill and would love to use it to help others. Of course it would take time for her to adapt to the Fallen God's frequency. That was why she wanted to learn as much as she could about Him, so she could better tune herself. She was convinced that day would soon come. But when the subject of mates came up, the fawn woman felt heat creep onto her face, so much so she had to cast down her gaze. Was that what this was all about? Once more the prospect of mates, breeding, and pups had come up into her life and she felt like something was driving her to this. "A mate..." she whispered, not knowing her thoughts were becoming vocalized. Serene knew little about mates as well, for her father was unknown to her, and her mother did not speak of it. Was that normal for mates? Or did they stick together, as a team, as one unit, forever? She didn't know.

She shrugged, not really sure what to say. "I'm positive there will be something I can do to contribute. But I've felt pushed to this point by something bigger than me, so perhaps this is where I am meant to be. Maybe that means I will find a mate and settle down at last, or maybe something else." She offered a smile, and stood, looking beyond Malleus and towards the vines she would now call home. "But all is to be revealed in good time! For now," she walked by the silver male, not caring if they brushed along side one another, "will you show me around our home, Alpha?" It was almost a teasing tone, but full of excitement and joy. She was ready now, she was no longer afraid, she wanted to enjoy this new part of her life and she wanted Malleus to guide her through it. For in him, and in his God, she trusted.
