Two Rivers Isle Arthendal, our new home

Everyone instantly responded to his howl. Burke was pleased to see all of them. They were small now but he was certain that they would expand and their ranks would grow. He knew some of their members were really driven and that they would be scholars in no time. Yet, that was not what Burke wanted to do.

Malice came to stand by him and once everyone was there his two sons seemed to come up the hill too, one dragging the other. His pale eyes watched the two with some curiosity, though decided not to intervene into their brotherly relationship. Burke cleared his throat. "Welcome all. We claimed these lands as our own. We are the pack that we like to call Arthendal," he announced. Some knew this already. "However, I as your Lord, do not intend to rule alone," he spoke and then smiled at Malice. It was a rare sight for him to do in public.

He quirked up his lips. "Malice, you have been patiently waiting for me for a long time now. I know, hence why I wanted to ask you if you want to be my mate before all of these witnesses," he spoke, voice still calm and collected as always. Yet, from the inside he was kind of freaking out a bit. Because he never declared his love so openly. "So, will you lead this pack with me as my Lady and trusted mate?," he clarified.
