THE MOUNTAINS WILL SHAKE

Desdemona watched as the life drained from the wolf who had offered his life, to die at her fang than face the pack who loathed him, she could respect him to a degree for his decision, she would indulge him with a proper burial. She had respect for the fallen King and she would not disgrace him by leaving his body for the crows, but before she could begin Morphine, the ivory ex-Vecaan slithered from the trees. She didn't know how close the two had become and she would treat the dame with respect, so long as it remained mutual. Even in his final request, Kaien had never lost his honor, perhaps a bit in the way he beckoned for death. But he had not cursed, nor cowered and she had shown him the gentle kindness that he deserved. She was bathed in his blood she was the victor here, but it was bittersweet. She had not wanted to be a harbringer of death, she had stated her discomforts, he had responded and he had chosen no longer to fight.

The massive ivory wolf remained silent but remained standing, lest the dame attack her, she would be prepared. It seemed however, that she would not take her demotion gracefully, nor would she accept Desdemona's reign, it was evident that the fae would hold nothing but hostility and Desdemona's tongue would click against the roof of her mouth. Respect and honor went both ways and it was made quite clear that the dame held none. Desdemona would wait with utter patience, ears pinned back against her cranium, face set in an unreadable expression as she waited for the dame to finish her rant. She should have expected as such. Humility was not within her blood, it mattered little. Desdemona was Queen whether the little girl liked as such or not. Kaien had receeded the title and Morphine only confirmed that her stripping of rank was well deserved. She was only proving Desdemona's point. Mindless aggression led to nothing. When finally she had finished two toned eyes would flicker far more cold and calloused towards the woman than they had been for Kaien.

"Your opinion of me is misguided Morphine. You scarcely know me and you presume to know how I will lead, what I will do, and how I will act. You have been a Vecaan for well over a year and what have you accomplished, a pack meeting, a failed fight with a Valhallen... other than accepting a stolen pup, you have done nothing of vast importance, or if you had you choose to leave your pack members in the dark, pack members deserve your trust, not your lies. I hold no vendetta against you Morphine, despite your blatant disregard and disrespect for me as your Queen... and despite this I'm willing to give you a chance. You will bend at the knee, accept me as your Queen and your insipid words will be forgotten. Every last wolf will have their rank stripped, titles need to be earned, not handed out freely, there will be a tournament to decide my betas, and you are welcome to attend. If this does not suit you and you refuse this, consider yourself banished from Tortuga. You may have been able to run your tongue with Kaien, but I am not so generous. Choose wisely Morphine." The dame would bow and accept her or she would be exiled. Desdemona was not weak.
