Sleeping Dragon You could be a king, but watch a queen conquer

Seageda had a close knit feel. Even with Thuringwethil taken away, his family had been big enough to be able to handle the transition the day she’d been taken away. They had time to prepare, they knew it was a likely possibility—as it is with any litter—and he’d felt content in the pack where he knew everyone. Drageda has yet to offer that to him but the more time he spends with the rest of them, the closer he’ll once again feel the same as Seageda had made him.

“We come from the same place,” he explains. The day she’d been born, Gavriel knew he’d lose his first younger sibling (outside his litter) and as much as they could prepare, it had felt a little empty. It eased over time, speaking to other wolves going through the same with their own. Even his own littermate had to go through it with Seregryn. “I have always been loyal to Heda, even before Thuringwethil,” he adds. Sivra held the rule a few years before her life had been taken in battle, and she’d accomplished plenty before Thuringwethil’s reign, but through each vessel one thing remains the same.

"Why do you follow them?" he questions, eager to know. Lorne and the others not of their own cloth don't have the same motivation, the same beliefs, unless she'd been able to convince them. Unsure if that's likely or not, he waits to see what she might present to him.
