Duet of Monarchs

He was tense, at first, but she couldn?t blame him. From what she remembered of him, he hadn?t exactly been the most sociable of wolves, so his turning down of the offer of beaver was met with a good natured nod and smile. He had been a male of terse nature, and in the time she had been around him, he had never smiled; not that she could recall. Her hind end settled elegantly on the ground, as he thanked her mismatched eyes studying his face. She had wondered how life had been treating him and his young family. Very well, it appeared. A pack, land, and a home to call all his own. Not once did it occur to her to be jealous. With the glow of her own family growing inside her, and Falk being at her side again, she wasn?t jealous at all. His hesitant question caught her ears, and she shook her head. ?No, not myself, my mother, cousin, and uncle, or our equine friend and the friend who used to be Valhalla?s secondary lead hunter. When my mother fell at the challenge for Valhalla, I concentrated on getting her out of there. The small unit I mentioned went with us. We holed up on Atlantis Island, up until a few days ago. Now, Cael and Imena, and Deviant, another member of the pack, found this place. It?s a good enough base, until we can either win back Vericona Plains and the other land under the control of the female there now, or an agreement on new lands can be made.? For a moment, a shadow fell on her sunny expression as she spoke about the challenge, quickly cast aside. She pulled the smile back on her face and studied him. ?I intend on rebuilding the pack again. The world needs to learn that it cannot beat us down. They?ll get tired of it, eventually, and turn their eyes away from our families and friends.? It was a matter of fact statement, an opportunistic approach to the future. The past had been full of events. Dark times, and times full of joy and laughter. It was the nature of life. |
