She explained that Abaven prided itself on being the type of pack that was good for pups. And he felt relieved. He felt his body relax a little, and he was sure that she noticed the relief as it slowly began to show in his eyes. They could grow here, and learn things that he couldn't teach them. They could make new friends, and maybe even find others to bond with. Gods knew they needed it. Ace had decided to cast away the Ruina religion that he had grown up with, deciding that it simply wasn't worth his time anymore. The demons had done nothing good for him. All they did was take from his life, and he was sick of it. No longer would they cling to him. And for all he cared, they could destroy Elias. He would make sure to help his neice and nephew overcome such things if they happened to be plagued with those ancient, diabolical powers. They could grow up normal here. Or as normal as possible, anyway.
"Thank you, Shaye. I must say that I am quite relieved. The kids need a stable place to learn and grow, and though I don't know much of anything about Abaven, I believe we've made a good choice." He sighed, feeling more weight drop off his shoulders. He hoped this was the right move. It had to be. While she told him there wouldn't be a test and that her secondary would be ranking him, he nodded in understanding. He didn't mind, honestly. He wasn't in a rush to do things as quickly as possible. He figured a day or two of settling in and getting accustomed to a new pack would help them recover and think about what they wanted to do. Ace was always ready though. But for the moment, he would help the pups settle in before anything. Shaye stepped aside a bit, welcoming them into Abaven. He nodded and began to follow, as well as signaling the kids to follow as well. "If I may ask, what is Abaven like? I know my brother had met with someone by the name of Sparrow before, but I never bothered to ask about this pack. I imagine it's much different than Ruina was..." He was certain that it was different than Ruina. Elias had tried and failed to make Ruina like their birth pack. And when Ace had left all those years ago, he had been an alpha himself with his mate at his side. But those were memories now. Buried beneath the bones of his past. He never mentioned any of those things to his brother...and he probably never would.
