Remind Me

It would seem that Allen was very adamant on taking some of the blame on himself, and Bass shook his head slowly. He waited for the older man to finish speaking though before he would answer, letting the other get all he needed to say out. When he was done, Bass let out a soft whine. "You are too hard on yourself, Allen. Truly you are. For me to dump the pack on you and leave was not fair of me, at least without talking to the rest of the pack fully and setting up a plan of sorts. But no, I just put Abaven in your paws without sharing my hopes and dreams with you for our home. So really, please don't blame yourself. You did all you could, and you cannot say that you failed me. You are a father now, Allen, and you know that I always say that family is first. I mean it." He said firmly, golden gaze a bit harsh as he eyed Allen. He had ruled Abaven alone for quite some time, and he was blessed to have this man help him out now so that he did have more time to spend with his pups and wife. They were all a year old now, and still he had not been able to spend a lot of solo time with them. But thanks to him, it had all changed so quickly. The pale man had thought that the pack would listen to Allen, but it seemed like they were all just waiting for him to come home. Something that he was going to have to fix if Allen were to get the respect he deserved as Abaven's second in command.
