expand the empire

Belle hushed Archon and he sent her an apolegetic dip of his head. He wouldn't actually apologize, but he would take himself out of the argument for her sake. Archon let out a pointed yawn while Pandora continued to foam nonsense out of her maw. Archon made a note to never let her talk to his kids again. She would no doubt try to turn them against their own mother in place of her beloved Hannibal This woman was not his equal in rank nor in existence so she could speak to herself for all he cared. His eyes drifted somewhere in the distance as she spoke. She could froth all she wanted to, but at least he had made something in this pack, unlike her.

When Hannibal spoke, Archon would give his attention. He listened to what the man had to say. Despite his shortcomings, he continued to try. "Your perseverance despite your past is why I respect you, Hannibal. Why I think you would make a good alpha and why I agree with putting the other pack in your paws, however, I do not agree with her assessment of where Deathbelle's position is in relation to yours." Archon woudn't argue further in this meeting. "If she has something she'd like to raise against me, she can come to me after the meeting."

Archon didn't have to say anything more as Sirius took hold of the situation. Silently, Archon was glad to know he wasn't the only one to stand up for Belle. If her family treated her so, then she was better with the slaves and the fallen gods than she was with them any day.
