Serene Validis
Serene was working out in her garden when she heard the familiar call of her silver mate echo through the vines. It brought her head up from the herbs as she glanced around the den site with a soft smile. "Did you hear that my loves? Your father is calling for us." Them, and the rest of the pack. It was curious to the blonde fae, since the last time they were all called together for a meetings, news of their sister pack's downfall had the Empire out scouting the lands for survivors. A rigid line of tension formed on her back at the thought of yet another tragedy befalling their empire. But the sounds of yips and soft barks had her relaxing a bit, as amber eyes settled on her small family. The past several weeks had been pure bliss to Serene, but that was mostly due to the tiny shuffles of paws that followed her. After a grueling pregnancy, the blonde woman had finally given birth to the next generation of Abraxas.
"Amaris, Felicity, come along." She called out to her children, knowing they were most likely playing within the confines of the den once more. Her ears then twitched to the sound of the vines rustling across the field. "Pyrrhic! Aureus! The family is moving out, best not get left behind." Her twin boys, always together and constantly causing her golden hairs to turn silver with their adventurous outings. By the time they were grown up and living on their own, Serene would probably look a lot more like Malleus. Lastly, but certainly not least, Serene turned to her final son Eligos. Eyes softened slightly, knowing he was waiting for Malleus to return as he always did. That boy, he sure loved his father. "You make sure your siblings are on their best behavior for me, okay?" Once the pups were gathered, Serene would set off in a slow pace to the meeting. On the way, the pups would constantly be playing with each other, weaving through their mother's long legs and running about. She allowed it until they came out of the vines and closer to the creek, where she immediately cut down the play and laid down the law.
"You're meeting the pack now, remember you are Abraxas. Make sure you act like one. Make your father and I proud." Of course Serene would always be proud of her young, but she knew how important this meeting was, especially to Malleus. So when her silver mate came into view, a wave of both relief and nerves flooded her system. She was relieved to see her mate, but nervous to see her Alpha. It was a confusing moment for the sandy woman, but nevertheless she brought the pups up to their father with a warm smile. "Hello, my love." She would greet, placing a small kiss on his cheek before settling down on his left. It was then she noticed the other members present. Feeling a bit sheepish for not noticing them before, but bowed her head in greeting. She couldn't say she had seen them before, but made sure to introduce herself and the pups after the meeting.
