Horizon Ridge Heavens Not Enough

Hearing the female speak in-depth about her family made Gavriil miss his even more. The male could almost imagine the whole band of wolves that the female's family was. Her family seemed like they'd get along well with his parents. In his mind because of their actions from what Thistle told, they valued selflessness and protection. His parents loved each other dearly. They grew up together and eventually fell in love. His father a large brooding male in size, much like himself, and his mother a thin and tall female who graced the world with her presence. 

His parents valued selflessness, and bravery. They believed in freedom from fear, in denying fear the power to influence decisions. They believed in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one to stand up for another. It was a beautiful idea, but one that the pack Gavriil grew up in didn't agree with. This caused many internal conflicts. "My father did teach me how to hunt, and how to be brave. My mom was a den mother, she enjoyed looking after pups. She taught me how to be selfless." Gavriil spoke with pride emanating from his person.
