This whole thing has been a lie

Surreal padded beside her uncle as they patrolled along the outer territories of the land that Valhalla called home. He still had a great deal to teach her, though he was no longer a Beta of Valhalla, and had admitted to her that he intended on stepping down to become the first Elder of Valhalla. She could understand this. No matter how much she wished that time could slow down, that her mother and Uncle would live forever, she faced the fact that they would eventually join Cairo and Aislyn in the realm of the dead. She would not grieve their losses for long, knowing that both had someone waiting for them on the other side. The aunt she had never met, Akana, Cormalin?s mate. And Cairo, for Erani.

So she drank in all her uncle had to teach her. How to remove an intruder from the pack lands without starting a fight or chasing them, yet firmly stating that the territory was off limits for wanderers who didn?t wish to join. How she should have handled the male who walked right past her just before the move to the island, though she hadn?t followed that move right away, with her mother so ill. Movement at the lake caught her eye first, and she froze, head turning toward the movement. A stranger stood in the lake, drinking. He was unusually marked, though she had seen some amazingly marked wolves in her lifetime; Vahva and Lyric, for instance. He was also large. Casting a glance at her uncle, she approached the stranger with a firm bark. Tail lifted to the height held by a Beta, head up, ears pressed forward, though her jowls and hackles remained relaxed, and her stride was non-threatening. ?You walk on Valhallan lands, stranger. Can I help you find the borders, or are you here to cause trouble?? Scots and Russian accented tones lilted out at him, not harsh, nor gentle, but reserved and firm.

As her uncle came to stand beside her, she felt his warm approval through the fur brushing her side. It lent a bit of confidence to her heart, though her expression was unchanged as she waited for the stranger to speak.
