shoulder to shoulder

Venom was grateful and more for Plague’s presence. He showed and proved his worth and his devotion to Ashen and herself. She would have sat with him a thousand times over to give her reassurances to him. She relied on him, he was an important part of the pack, not because of his name but because of the efforts he put forward to get to where he now stood. It was no easy task taking Hela’s place, but she knew if anyone could have it was her sibling. Plague could do anything he put his mind to, Venom realized all she needed to do was help push him in the right direction. She wanted to see him happy, she wanted to see him follow his heart.

He returned her nuzzle affectionately, and spoke softly as he wondered what he would do if he didn’t have her help. ”I don’t know, but I’m not sure what I’d do without you either.” She assured him. There had been a long struggle to get herself in this position, but the dream couldn't keep going without wolves like Plague. Her brother continued though, making sure to tell her the places his heart was leading him.

”I think that’s wonderful, Plague.” She encouraged him. ”Just make sure Ike and the rest of the kids are careful when they visit.” Venom teased him, but it wouldn’t be any surprise if the young ones tried to follow uncle Plague to his den outside the borders. ”You’re very sweet, Plague. I hope that he’s worthy of my amazing brother.”
