home at last

The excitement was too much. It had only been a few days since she had been in this same spot in the late evening, speaking with the alphess about the prospect of joining Ludicael. Liste had soon, and she had been good on her word. Here she stood, on the edge of the packlands, ready to accept the offer and officially become a member of the pack.



But she hadn't come alone. When she had extended the idea to Angeal, he had gladly accepted. He had come here with her to request that he be invited to join as well, and nothing made her happier. She knew that with his personality and his strength, he would be a greater asset tto any pack than he was remotely aware of. Thinking of that gave her the confidence that her concerns with her own cowardice were unwarranted. If Angeal thought she had something to offer a pack, she would believe him. And now that she was accepting the offer that had been extended to her, she would do everything in her power to prove that she wasn't a simple coward. she would be strong for her new family.



Liste flashed a quick smile at Angeal, then threw back her head and called out for someone to come to speak with them. Her only worry was that they wouldn't be willing to accept Angeal into the pack, but it was slight. She couldn't imagine anyone feeling that negatively toward him.
