I'm sorry that I need you so

Shaye knew that her judgment was compromised Vail, and her missing daughter, hovered always at the edge of her awareness. After the accidental overdose on fermented fruits, the woman was forced to take a look at herself and acknowledge the truth - she was a mess. Abaven deserved more than here, and the stress of this position was killing her…

Feeling more than a little like a failure, the Alpha went in search of her young successor, and found her by the waters edge, fishing. A common hunting practice of the Abaaven wolves, and a very necessary one with the limited prey available on the island. They had to work very carefully with the hunters to ensure they didn’t decimate any one population of prey, and ruin the ecosystem of the island.

“Hey” she said gently, taking a seat next to the younger wolf. “We need to talk” she admitted. “How would you feel about becoming the main Alpha of Abaven, and having me step into a secondary role, if we did this, what direction would you take the pack?” she asked quietly, aware of the responsibilities she was throwing onto the smaller wolf.
