Golden Glade Extended Family

" I am sure they will love you," the queen spoke softly. "Here lets let them be, we can go to one of the meeting dens and chat there," she spoke as Emory questioned more on Onai. The silver queen strictly did not want any of the pups, especially rowan to wake up and over hear the conversation.

Aspen padded down the tunnels and entered the cave that contained the small pool and sat down as she waited for Emory to do the same. "Yes Onai is my brother," the queen stated. "The reason him and I do not get along goes way back to when I was a child. You see, my parents did not like me, i was the runt of the litter, and the only girl. I was seen as weak and useless to the rest of the pack and so when my brothers beat me up, or abused me verbally. No one cared, sometimes my parents even encouraged it," she stated. She had no idea why Emory needed to know so much information having only just met her, but the queen felt the need to make her point clear. "It got to the point where at 8 months old they chased me out and told me never to come back. So I swore I wouldn't and I refused to see or talk to any of them again." she  explained keeping her cool.

"He left scars on my body no one else can see, scars that haunt me behind closed doors. Even today. It used to be so much worse but Alder, and my children, and my pack. They're working to heal them, so that I'm rarely ever bothered," she spoke before staring at her paws. As she began to speak again she lifted her head.

 "Unfortunately, not long before you came here, he showed up. Claiming he meant no harm, and that he was checking up on me. I had no care for it. Especially with my young children here. I was filled with so much anger and pain, feelings I swore I would never let my children see. One of them did witness it though, and I feel like shit about it," she stated  glancing back out towards the tunnels.
