Silvertip Mountain O brother, where art thou?

Shock ran through FitzDutiful as he looked at his brother, the words registering in his mind. The shock was apparent, it was something that he had never considered. Beta was always intended for Mason, but Mason wanted time to think. Mason and his mate, they were the two he planned to give beta to. But why? The reasoning was obvious; Redhawk Caldera had had a mated beta pair and he found the concept admirable, but was that what he wanted? No. He wanted a family pack, a pack where ever the loneliest wolf could become part of a family. A pack that looked out for each other and protected each other. He didn't have to have a mated beta pair, though the idea was nice, he knew Mason and Steady would both respect each other - if Mason accepted the position. If not, Steady and his mate could make a nice beta pair too.

"I love the idea." he said as his eyes shone and his tail wagged from side to side. "I think you've already earned it, you stepped up with Moon Shadow and you've been top of the ranks for a long time now." Him and Chaska swapped regularly but Steady had never dropped lower than that since he had joined. "Do you mind if we call Zaria out and see what she thinks too? It'd be a nice announcement to make together if you're ready for the position now." Realising that he had something else to tell, he decided to do so now. "Though you should know that Mason is considering a beta position too. So it's likely the two of you will be side by side in the endeavour."
