Hardly Anything Else I Need To Be

As she waited for his answer, and while he thought it over, Erani thought back to when she had left everything she?d known behind. Her circumstances had been more dire than his, her brother telling her to run on his last breath of consciousness. He?d been laying amongst the slaughtered bodies of the Redwood wolves, bloodied and weakened from loss of blood and pain. He was the only survivor in that battle on the Redwood side. And he had saved her. Those few years of lonely travel had been the most painful years of her long life. She had adapted to the life of a loner, wandering lost and sad, though sometimes, toward the end, she had come in contact with others. A loner pair expecting children soon. A wild lone male, lost in the delirium of a mental disease.

She had stayed with the pair for a while, long enough to watch the female birth her children, for the new family to offer her a place in their small group. They had told her of the packs of Ciroc, of Starlite. So she had gone to find out if they would take her in. She had watched the packs, and settled on Starlite. It was on a windy, stormy night that she had sung the call upon Starlite borders, and met the sister of the Alpha, the Commander, Maya. She had been accepted, and made her home in Starlite as a healer, training under a senior healer to finish off her skills. Coming to Starlite had been the best decision she?d ever made. Cairo? She remembered the first time she saw the great chocolate male with sapphires for eyes. The powerful feeling of being drawn to him and wanting to be as close as physically possible. She?d thought, then, that it was from his being a powerful alpha and fine King. Now she knew what it truly must have been. Too late to act on those feelings now.

She had stuck with Starlite and Cairo, as they left Ciroc behind, and became Valhalla, through all that had come. She had risen from just one of the healers to Lead Healer, and through the trials of the Exodus she had stayed with her pack, and raised Cairo?s children after Guinevere had died. She couldn?t imagine a life without her pack, and now, she would do her best to ensure a strong future for them as their leader. A smile tugged at her lips as Newol spoke at last, ears forward and listening to him. Then she spoke as well. ?You are as much a part of this family as any of my children, Newol. That is what Valhalla is; Family, bound by loyalty, love, and a persevering heart. I would gladly call you ?son.?? There was no jesting in her tones, her eyes serious and gentle. The offer was on the table. It was up to him to take it.
