Broken Dreams

Seeing the brute would have normally put her in a good mood - Themisto was someone that she considered a friend, a damn good one. But the loss of her mate had left her without who she considered her better half, it seemed nothing could pull her out of her current slump.

He paused a moment after she asked her question - had she said the wrong thing? Spoken too soon? Yet as soon as the moment came it passed, and he answered her question. As he explained his meeting with the other, the alpha nearly laughed - yep, he had certainly met with Isardis. The man was beyond rude, she had learned that not on the battlefield, but when he first came to Valhalla to announce of his challenge. Seeing Themisto roll his eyes did manage to pull a small chuckle from her, and she shook her head. "You? Not liking someone? How strange." The woman could have sworn that he could get along with anyone, appreciate anyone.

"It's good to see you Themisto - I've missed you." He was part of Seracia, which was tied to Valhalla. He could have visited whenever he wanted - she herself had been a bit too busy to take the trek to the east as of late. "He was injured because he challenged for Liberty - one of the yearlings here." The girl was extremely important to the alpha, and luckily she had managed to secure her place here in Valhalla. Gideon though, had not been so lucky... "I fought him and won." It felt like luck in comparison with her loss - but Liberty was here, and she was safe for the time being. That was more than she could ask for.

"I'm afraid I've made enemies out of Glaciem by not giving them what they wanted. I don't know what their plans are, but I'll probably be fighting them more often." And alone too, without Gideon at her side. Azalea though, might be able to take up some of the battles, but imagining her heir hurt in any way made her mentally flinch away from the idea. "Especially since they took Gideon." More like she had lost him. She had the chance to try and win him back, and failed.
