Roan was indeed a capable fighter, but everyone made mistakes and the man suffered greatly for his. He’d fought many bears in his lifetime, but the cave bear was the one that managed to best he and Dapple. It only took once to alter his life forever. Roan knew it would both take time to recover and then return to his previous fighting shape. He would consume many resources before he could return his debt.

Sirius didn’t disagree with him, he was indebted and the Warlord wouldn’t forget that fact. Roan was given his first command from his alpha to recover so that he might be placed appropriately into the pack when the time came. ”That’s fair.” Roan returned, one year of devotion in exchange for his life? The silver marked titan unexpectedly found his thoughts on Iolaire’s soft warmth and comforting presence. When his year was over could he stand to leave her here? He didn’t have anyone else in the world and his short time with her so far had formed a bond he couldn’t deny.
