the awful screaming of the lambs • pack meeting

Shit- that's the only thing that was going through the Young prince's mind when the bloodstained Leader spoke about what was going on with the pack. The Alpha was dying, the Beta was dying, and the new appointed leaders were a young (but cute) girl and her dirty old daddy. Keith didn't know what to get out of all this, he had just joined a pack he thought was strong, and so far it looked like it was, but perhaps its stability would be harmed by the death of the fierce female that he knew as his Alpha now. Perhaps this wasn't a place where he'd find the tranquility to take care of his.. condition.

He silenced while trying to sink in all the information. Not that it was so shocking for him, he knew the alpha was sick, but he didn't know it was lethal, and he needed to make a decision in that moment, would he stay and fight for the pack to grow stronger, or would he leave to find a more stable place to rest his mind? Honor the woman who had trusted him into her territory or leave it all to crumble to the ground?

He was about to turn back and return to the safety and peace of his den when the new Alpha came up to the rock where the old leader was. her words made something click inside him, he couldn't let her down. From the moment they first met he sensed fire inside her, she could be strong for the pack, maybe she was after all the time he had looked for, the one that he could swear loyalty to. He dipped his muzzle at her accepting her claim and shot a smile to cheer her up a little. Kaname was another thing altogether, that he had been named Beta didn't mean he'd flatten his ears at his sight and lick his boots, if he'd ever get the young prince's acceptance and respect, the old man would have to earn it.
