There was Ebony and some others and then there was his pack, Imperium. She grinned, figuring that his pack just meant he was a member of the pack. He seemed too friendly to be a pack leader but that might be from her experience that she had all wrong. On the other hand, she had grown up with her father running the pack who had done nothing about the attempted rape of his own daughter.

She thought about how to formulate her question carefully, knowing that the wrong words could make the whole encounter end badly. "I?ve been doing a lot I suppose. Apart from surviving and forgetting, I've been wandering, thinking and searching for something more. I just don?t know how to explain it. I?ve got so many goals that I don?t know where to start.? She stated as she thought about it, taking another mouthful of meat from the ram to chew with her powerful jaws. The ?warrior princess? was thinking about Imperium. Perhaps he could get her an in. Perhaps she should settle down in a pack until she could accomplish some of her goals. Eventually she?d bring the new and improved Kingfall to life, but that might be years away for her.
