The start of something new

Hearing Sirius at the border instead of him coming into Ashen easily let her know that he had business to attend to. The sunset eyed Empress lifted herself from her place in the palace and hurried to the border. Anko was close behind, she was much more attentive now that her own puppies were weaned and being trained to serve her own children. Poison still grumbled about sharing his place with a dog, but the squirrel no doubt enjoyed how much less time he had to spend scouting for his mistress.

Venom and the dog approached Sirius, the Empress wore a classic Kelin smirk as she greeted him with a wave of her tail and dip of her head. Their relationship was far different than any other pair of alphas in Boreas. She was proud to call him her equal, especially now as the days continued to change and their lives with it. She was married, she bore her own heirs, Venom was a much different wolf than the serious pup the Warlord trained so long ago. ”You only call me at the border when it's something important.” Venom chuckled softly as she paused before him. She knew how much strife rocked the Armada, but he looked like he found his strength again and stood tall.
