Fulfilling promises

Mom had gathered them up and instructed them in her ‘strict mom’ voice that they were going to have a meeting with the rest of the pack, and that they’d needed to be on their best behavior. The girl’s bi-colored gaze looked to her brothers pointedly and she lifted her chin, giving her mother a firm nod. Of course she’d be a good girl, she always was.

As Recluse strutted out into the night, so did Kali. She held herself as tall as she could, trying to emulate the Seraphim who she held with great regard. Mom was beautiful and regal and she wanted to be just like her! When the pale woman settled down, the girl did too, Abaddon’s dark, still small form curled around her own neck. The snake flickered his tongue up at his mother, but that was as far as their interaction went. Snakes were weird in the fact that they weren’t very affectionate with each other, but she supposed that they were snakes, after all.

She sat, the moonlight pouring down over her form so starkly different from her siblings and, apart from the twisting golden markings that had grown bolder over her chocolate pelt and her slim figure, different from her mother. She gave her ear a bored flick.
