You won't forget me
The Queen would make her appearance first, heading towards the dame at a run, slowing to halt before her. The new Queen towered of Secret greatly, even as she dipped her head in a sign of respect. While she appreciated it, returning her down sign of respect with a drop of her skull, it surprised the she-wolf. Surely this new Alpha knew little, if not nothing about her. It surprised her even further when the Queen spoke her name. No matter how surprised she felt, her outward appearance never changed, expression void of any emotion, gaze even.
Little time was wasted getting to the point. "Yes. I'm not sure what you know about me, seeing as you already know who I am, but I am old. I have been with this pack since I was 5, joining as nothing more than a warrior, before climbing the ranks to be a Commander. I'm sure you can understand why I would be upset to have it all stripped from me. While I agree with this tournament, wolves in this pack seem to have forgotten their purpose, I would never earn my rank back in a battle against a younger wolf. Events in my life have slowed me down, but I have been loyal to Tortuga since day one, and I won't leave this world as nothing more than a lowly pack member, I'd sooner die a rouge." Vivid memories flashed in her mind. The pain. The confusion. The horror. One can't forget the vision of their dead child being eaten before them. While she spoke, words held no disrespect, she only meant to state her thoughts to this new Queen. Each word held meaning behind it. She had earned her place. She refused to die as nothing in this pack.
She paused, waiting for the Queen to respond before she would continue. There wasn't much more for her to say. She simply wanted to know where she would stand within the pack after this shift in power. Besides her children, all she had was this pack and her rank. And of course Kylar, though she wasn't sure where to place her knight in shining armor within her life. Her gaze never once left the Alpha, only briefly when she spoke of her loss and near death, not that the Queen would know that, her eyes would drift off before returning to the mighty she-wolf. Her attention was fixated on Desdemona. |
