Abandonment and Betrayal

Sirius sighed softly. He was mightily unhappy with both Mortis and Azure, and Indigo’s choice to leave had torn at him. He understood where she was coming from. They were supposed to be a family, they were supposed to stick together. It was what he wanted. It was Asla who stood before him, being the wolf he could lean on to help him run this pack.

He did not want to discourage discourse, through nor did he want to belittle the aid Asla had been to him. “If you weren’t here, I think your old man would give up the throne. You’re my steady pillar Asla. You reached for Reaper at my request, and more than earned your position. You’ve done a crazy amount of growing in the past few months.” He kissed her nose gently. Even though it was a serious matter, he couldn’t help himself. He loved his daughter.

”Well, let me let you in on a little secret - girls mature and grow faster than boys. You seem comfortable in your skin. Indy, Mortis, Azure? They seem lost, like they have a lot to learn. They are out there right now trying to understand each other. I hope they do so soon and come back to us. I hope for that even with Indy. I don’t want to shake up the foundations of the pack yet Asla, but then so long as my family is here I don’t intend to give up the throne for many, many years. The matter of Heirs can be settled between the four of you when you are all back here. If something happens to me and your mother before then Asla, then I promise you - the pack is yours. Then, it’ll be your choice if your brothers ever have power within this pack. But I hope you know the four of you leading and leaning on each other is my greatest hope for the future.” It was a lot for the Warlord to say, but this was important. She was hooked on the idea of Heir, but she was already ranked higher than any of her brothers. She was already leading, when to the boys it had only ever been an idea.
