This is it [Change in Leadership]

After waiting for some time, the new family member broke through the silence. She pleaded for a chance to make things right. For the first time, his nose wrinkled at a mortal. Pathetic was the only thought he had. He screwed his eyes shut for a moment, composing himself before addressing the woman.
"Shouldn't you mourn your loved ones and cut your losses before trying to assume leadership?"
His tone was cool and level. He didn't know this woman well. He didn't even know her family well, despite living here for some time. His teal eyes searched her for a moment.
"God calls me to other conquests," he said. "With Sparrow's death, that much is clear. Whatever your family has done to deserve such a meek and powerless existence is beyond me."
Archon looked off to the distance for a while, considering the woman's proposition to stay and hold the pack together. He thought about everything he knew about the pack, weighing what it was worth to keep it standing.
"We were initially going to siege Abaven, you know. That was our plan, but Sparrow helped my brother, Malleus, when he was injured. Because of that, my brother asked if I could take over the pack peacefully instead, despite it being against our normal ways. With that, we entered an agreement with Sparrow: Instead of taking the pack by force, we'd live seamlessly with the mortals here."
Now Archon turned his attention back to Shaye. His expression was flat, facts churning over in his head.
"Even living here, no other member garnered any sort of favor with us. The agreement is over. I'll extend one last kindness to you, but don't expect the same if we are to meet again. Do what you will with the pack, its land and members are yours for now. Besides, it may prove beneficial in the future."
Archon kept his eyes level with Shaye's. There was no malice in his voice, nor hate in his gaze. He was interested to see how this woman would react. He knew his words weren't kind, but he was being up front. How would she handle the cold hard facts?
